Chapter 426

Once Little Linghua encounters danger, the bracelet will instantly transform into a wooden dragon, holding out until Jiang Yan arrives.

Although Jiang Yan never explicitly expressed concern, every gift he gave was imbued with deep care.

Little Linghua was deeply moved; she nodded vigorously and said:

"Brother Jiang Yan, thank you for your gift. I will keep it carefully and wear it every day!"

At that moment, the ship let out another whistle.

Little Linghua also realized she had no more time to linger here.

She looked at Jiang Yan with some reluctance and suddenly spoke:

"Brother Jiang Yan, I'm leaving. You must not forget me!"

"If... if one day I sneak back to Liyue and find you have forgotten me... then I... then I will cry in front of you!"

"Likewise, I will not forget Big Brother!"

"I was very happy living here these past few days. Thank you for taking care of me, Brother Jiang Yan!"

After speaking, Little Linghua waved to Jiang Yan and ran toward the ship without looking back.

She dared not turn around.

For if she turned around, she would be unwilling to leave.

Although she was not from Liyue, she had a home there.

Jiang Yan quietly watched Linghua board the ship; suddenly, he smiled:

"Farewell, Little Linghua."

"I look forward to our next meeting."

Not long after Little Linghua stepped onto the ship, it departed from Liyue Harbor and sailed toward Inazuma.

Gradually, at the junction of the blue sky and the ocean, it vanished.

On the ship, Little Linghua stood on the deck, stretching up on her tiptoes to look back toward Liyue.

She was striving to memorize the entire appearance of Liyue, for there lay her other home.

In case she could escape again someday, she could use her memory to return home quickly.

Only after Liyue shrank into a black dot and vanished did Little Linghua sit in a corner of the deck.

Several people nearby were secretly watching Little Linghua.

They were Millelith soldiers Jiang Yan had stationed on this ship.

With Little Linghua traveling alone on this ship, Jiang Yan would not feel at ease without someone watching her.

It could be said that on this ship, the sailors, the captain, and others were all personnel of the Liyue Navy.

Little Linghua took out the two gifts Jiang Yan had given her and gently stroked them.
