Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

Chapter 217: Into the Darkness, Out of Hope

When I opened my eyes, I saw the dazzling ceiling and the bright white light spinning, making me dizzy.

I closed my eyes, trying to stop the spinning in front of my eyes.

I moved and felt pain in my arm. I endured the dizziness and nausea and looked at the painful area. I saw my blood flowing into the blood bag through the thin tube.

My right hand is not very flexible yet. I tried several times to unplug the blood-drawing device, but it hurt and I couldn't pull it out.

I closed my eyes, stopped struggling, and quietly felt my blood flowing away and my life gradually disappearing.

I don’t know whether Hao Weiran kept his promise and brought Mo Chen’s parents home.

Should I believe him?

Suddenly I heard a slight noise outside, and then the sound was getting closer and closer.

Until my arm suddenly hurt and I woke up. Then I felt even more dizzy, as if I was on a ship in a storm, and I felt like vomiting.

I opened my eyes, but I couldn't see anything clearly. There was only a blurry figure in front of me, and I was in someone's arms.

"Mo Chen..."

"Get out of here!" The person holding me spoke in an extremely sharp voice and stopped.

I opened my eyes and tried to see the person in front of me clearly.

It turned out to be Hao Weiran, glaring at the front.

"Wei Ran!"

A woman's gentle yet urgent voice.

"This woman is a disaster! Why are you entangled with her! Didn't you see what happened to me and your father?!"

"You are the trouble! I told you to get out of here!" Hao Weiran said each word harshly and clearly.

"That's how you talk to your mother!" there was an angry man's voice.

"Mother?" Hao Weiran smiled disdainfully.

"Don't bring up this identity thing to disgust me! Don't ever mention these two words. I've already thought my parents were dead!"

"you!"

The man standing behind Nangong Jianing took a step forward angrily, but was pulled back by Nangong Jianing.

"Ling An! Stop talking!" Nangong Jianing choked.

I finally saw the surroundings clearly. I looked at Nangong Jianing. She was crying, and there were several people blocking Hao Weiran's way.

"Weiran, when did you get to know her? She is using you! Are you crazy? Are you willing to be used by her?"

"So what? Nangong Jianing, if you still want our relationship to continue, hand over the person I want now and I will take him away. Otherwise! Don't blame me for taking him away by force!"

"You did it just for her?!" Nangong Jianing's tone was filled with shock and anger.

"Yes! You've done so many shameful things, it's time to end it. I'll ask you again, will you hand over the person?"

Nangong Jianing's eyes fell on me, and I could clearly feel her anger, even her body was shaking unconsciously.

"None of you can leave!" the man next to Nangong Jianing shouted sternly.

Hao Weiran smiled indifferently and said, "Nangong Lingan, don't be so arrogant. Without the Hao family supporting you, you wouldn't be living as comfortably as you are today! If you follow my wishes now, the Hao family will be able to support you in the future. Otherwise, with these half-human, half-ghost things in your Nangong family, what can they do?"

"Don't forget that you also have Nangong family blood!" Nangong Lingan roared with red eyes.

"So what? I just have no choice. Otherwise, who would want a mother who only knows how to hate? And there is nothing to be proud of with the blood of the parasitic Nangong family. In the past, you relied on the Gong Yi family, and now you rely on the Hao family. I warn you, if you dare to touch my people again, don't blame me for being heartless!"

"Don't think I'm really afraid of you!" Nangong Ling'an glared at Hao Weiran. "If it weren't for your mother protecting you, do you think you could have survived until now?"

"Hmm!" Hao Weiran's body shook and he almost fell. He squatted down and let me sit on the ground and hugged me, then he looked at Nangong Lingan.

I saw the blue veins on Hao Weiran's neck protruding one by one, his face was red, and he seemed to be in great pain, but his eyes were like a wolf about to eat its prey, as if he was ready to tear the person in front of him to pieces at any time.

"Ling An, don't, don't hurt Wei Ran, don't hurt my son!"

I could vaguely feel a force enveloping Hao Weiran, a force that made him suffer.

Judging from the current situation, if Hao Weiran gets injured, we will never be able to leave.

I looked at Nangong Lingan, and then concentrated my attention on getting him to stop.

After a while, Nangong Lingan's eyes revealed confusion and surprise, and then his eyes fell on me.

I stared at Nangong Lingan, now I want to make him suffer!

His expression changed from shock to anxiety.

Then I felt his power fighting against mine. But his power was not strong and was erratic.

Then, his expression began to twist in pain.

"what!"

I tried to force out his spiritual power.

It worked, and then all his spiritual power instantly crashed into my body.

The moment his spiritual power entered my body, I felt as if my body was instantly activated, and the feeling of weakness just now was alleviated a lot.

Nangong Lingan fell to the ground.

My vision was getting redder and redder, until it was a little blurry.

Suddenly my eyes were covered.

"You can't absorb his spiritual power anymore. It's not good for you!"

It was Hao Weiran's trembling voice.

"Nangong Rongyue! I didn't realize you had this ability!"

"Catch her!"

Nangong Jianing shouted.

I heard sounds of fighting around me.

Then I was pulled up, and my strength recovered a lot. Hao Weiran pulled me and walked forward with big strides.

There were a lot of people fighting around us, some cats were rushing towards us, and some were kicked away.

"Boss Hao, the person has been brought out!" Someone ran towards us from a distance.

There were several other people following not far behind him, and the person in the middle was being supported.

I looked carefully and saw that the person being supported was Gong Yixunran, and the other person had a cat in his arms, and it was Nangong Xueqi.

"Weiran, I won't let you take them away."

Nangong Jianing walked towards us from behind a group of people.

"You must not have an affair with this woman!"

"What right do you have to mind my business?"

"You are my son! I am doing this for your own good! Why can't you just listen to me for once!"

Nangong Jianing screamed, her facial expression was extremely ferocious, as if black lines appeared on her face in an instant and then disappeared. Her eyes were red, like an evil ghost, completely lacking the gentle look she had just had.

"Look at you, you don't even look like a human being! You live in hatred all day long, relying on absorbing the spiritual power of your own people and evil spirits to survive. Can you do good for me? If you want to do good for me, you shouldn't force my father to death, imprison other people's parents, and make enemies for me everywhere!"

"Nangong Jianing, think about it yourself. As a mother, what have you ever done for me? Have you ever hugged me sincerely? Don't you know what you are busy with every day? Does torturing others make you happy? If you are happy and satisfied, then why are you like this now!"

"The day my mother forced my father to death, I was left without parents."

Hao Weiran choked with sobs.

"How long are you going to make trouble... When will it end..."

As Nangong Jianing listened to Hao Weiran's words, her expression gradually softened. She kept looking at Hao Weiran, then covered her face and cried.

I took Nangong Xueqi and held her in my arms, then observed Gong Yixunran. His body was very thin and weak, but his eyes were clear. He was observing the situation around him, and then he looked at me.

His eyes were exactly the same as Mo Chen's, both were sharp and scrutinizing. His thin figure had some of Mo Chen's shadow, which made me feel friendly and at ease.

"Nangong Rongyue."

I looked at Nangong Jianing who called me.

"You can go and take the people you want with you, but you have to promise me that if you can return alive, you will never have any relationship with Wei Ran again!"

"Shut up! Don't meddle in my business!" Hao Weiran looked at Nangong Jianing angrily.

Nangong Jianing smiled, she looked at Hao Weiran, and then Hao Weiran staggered.

Hao Weiran turned and looked at me, "Don't... believe her!"

Then Hao Weiran almost fell down, and the people around him supported him.

This time I didn't help Hao Weiran, but watched him faint, because his mother would not hurt him, and his mother's conditions were exactly what I wanted.

"As long as you can lead them out alive! This is God's will. I won't look for Nangong Xueqi again. But I want you to swear that you are not allowed to get close to my son again. Otherwise, I will definitely look for you again!"

"I swear, I will never have any contact with Hao Weiran again, as long as you can control your son and don't come to me! We have the same wish in this regard!" I looked at Nangong Jianing.

"I also want you to promise that you will never cause trouble for Gong Yi's family again and stay away from them, otherwise I will find you!"

I stared at Nangong Jianing fiercely.

"I, Nangong Rongyue, swear here with blood!"

A picture suddenly flashed in my mind, of me cutting my hand and swearing an oath with blood, and it overlapped with the current picture.

I pulled out the knife from the person next to me, cut my hand, and blood flowed out.

"I, Nangong Rongyue, swear with blood that the next time I see Nangong Jianing, you and your clansmen will die without a burial place!"

I raised my hand and watched my blood dripping onto the ground. Nangong Jianing and the people behind her were shocked at first, then began to feel uncomfortable. Some of them began to turn into cats and ran away, but some cats showed fanatical expressions, staring at me with their blood-red eyes.

"You... take... them away!" Nangong Jianing seemed to be in great pain. She was supported by the people around her and looked at me.

"Everyone of Wei Ran's people should stay here. You are members of the Hao family. Take Wei Ran and me back."

The people around me looked at each other, and they supported Hao Weiran and walked towards Nangong Jianing.

Gong Yixunran was placed under a tree and leaned against it. After he was settled, the person who had been supporting him left.

"Nangong Rongyue, there are forests all around here. I told you that as long as you can get them out alive, it will be God's will. I will follow God's will and will never have anything to do with Gong Yi's family again. The grudge between Nangong Xueqi and I will be wiped out."

"Otherwise, you can choose to leave them behind. I'll send someone to take you back. From now on, I won't cause you any more trouble. You and Gong Yi Mo Chen will never see me again. Let's just pretend that what happened today never happened."

"Think about it carefully. It's best to make a wise choice."

I looked behind me and saw a pitch-black forest, as black as a piece of cloth that had been splashed with a bucket of ink. I couldn't see a thing.

This darkness seemed like a huge whirlpool, gradually arousing the fear in my heart.

Nangong Xueqi in my arms moved and jumped to the ground.

"Meow~" It called to me, then walked towards Nangong Jianing.

I squatted down and reached out to pull Nangong Xueqi back into my arms, holding it up. "Did I let you go? You must listen to me when we enter the forest and don't run around! It's very dangerous! Do you understand?"

Nangong Xueqi looked at me, and it was the first time I saw a cat's tears.

I wiped Nangong Xueqi's tears, held her in my arms, then walked to Gong Yixunran and helped her up.

"Child, you'd better go back. We don't know each other, so there's no need for you to take risks for us." Gong Yixunran was helped up by me and looked at me.

"You don't know me, but I know you. I came here this time just to take you back to see Mo Chen."

"Mo Chen?" Gong Yixunran's eyes lit up. "Did Mo Chen ask you to come?"

I supported Gong Yi and walked slowly towards the woods. "No...if he knew what I did, he would definitely get angry with me."

I smiled and looked at Gong Yixunran.

Gong Yi looked at me and frowned. "You are...you are also from the Nangong family, right?"

I nodded.

"Then Mo Chen and you..."

"We have been married for over a year."

Gong Yixunran's eyes were blank for a moment, and he nodded, "Oh, Mo Chen is married... So many years have passed in a flash..."

"Yes, for so many years, Mo Chen has never given up looking for you..."

"That child... is too stubborn, he has been like this since he was young, this is what I am most worried about..." Gong Yi looked at me, "Then nothing happened to him! Did Nangong Jianing hurt him? Is he okay?" Gong Yi stared at me, with an anxious look in his eyes.

"I'll protect him, don't worry."

I stopped and looked at the woods in front of me. If I took one more step, I would be walking into darkness.

"We must go back and reunite with Mo Chen..." I stared at the woods in front of me and said silently, telling myself to take a deep breath. This is our only chance. We can't be afraid. If we walk out of this darkness, we will walk out of all troubles and we will be able to see Mo Chen.

"Are you afraid of the dark..."

I came back to my senses and looked at Gong Yixunran beside me.

"You are shaking..." Gong Yi pressed my hand.

I felt the warmth from his palm slowly spreading into mine.

Gong Yi smiled and said, "It's not too late to give up now."

"Are you afraid?" I looked up at Gong Yixunran.

Gong Yi looked into the depths of the woods. "Every day I look forward to walking in here, or walking out. Compared to the despair of darkness, darkness is nothing to be afraid of. To me, it is even full of hope."

"Then... let's go back together and see Mo Chen."

Gong Yi turned his head and looked at me, he smiled and nodded.

I turned around and looked in the direction of Nangong Jianing. She was looking at us, or to be more precise, her eyes were on Nangong Xueqi.

I couldn't tell what was in her eyes. There was hatred but also a sense of relief.

I turned around, held Gong Yixunran tightly, and stepped into the woods.
