Chapter 678: Here, Take It—Don’t Cry!
Xiao Xue’s eyes darted around quickly, it seemed that Mother and Father were planning to join forces to stop her!
However, the little girl also had a temper, once she decided on something, she absolutely wouldn’t change her mind easily, oh no, she wouldn’t change her mind at all!
If reasoning doesn’t work on them, then... let’s be unreasonable.
The little girl suddenly pouted, and without any warning, burst into tears with a "wah".
Tears streamed down like money was no object.
Everyone was collectively baffled, Su Yu was even more frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.
He could only soften his voice, then soften it a little more, continually coaxing, "Xiao Xue, don’t cry, good girl, Xiao Xue, stop crying..."
Unfortunately... when it comes to Xiao Xue, this trick doesn’t work at all.
Han Jing knew this very well, so she didn’t say a word. This girl was spoiled since she was young, the more you coaxed her while she cried, the more spirited she became. Moreover, her trick had always been failproof, no matter what she wanted to do, if acting cute and sweet didn’t work, a shout would have everyone surrendering. Because... anyone who dared to make this little girl cry even once, the Ghost Ancestor would skin them alive.
Han Jing was truly grateful... that her master’s old self wasn’t here today.
But this... but this couldn’t be agreed to today either!
With Xiao Xue crying like this, everyone was out of ideas, no one expected such seriousness, such danger, on the other side, Lian Xichen and the others were rushing over frantically, while here, the few adults surrounded her not knowing how to pacify a child.
After crying for a while, the little girl showed no sign of stopping, instead, she cried even louder.
At this point, the Ghost King finally couldn’t take it anymore.
"Alright, stop crying, I’ll give you the Seven Star Stone! It’s just blood, isn’t it? If I don’t drink it, would that be okay?" The crying made his head feel like it was going to explode, after hearing ghost cries for so many years, he couldn’t believe today a child’s cry affected him so much.
This is what it means to have devilish sounds pierce your ears and strike your heart!
In short, that sensation was too unbearable!
Enough, enough! What’s the big deal! It’s no big deal, he might as well stay in this Ice Lake and not go out, after all, he has stayed for so many years, it doesn’t matter if he continues to stay!
The Ghost King took out the remaining six Star Stones with a flourish, but the Seven-Colored Star Stone, which was about the size of a child’s palm, lined up in the air, with all six Star Stones controlled in his right palm, he extended them towards Xiao Xue: "Take them, what’s there to cry about, I thank you!"
In fact, his heart was bleeding profusely, yet he was oddly a bit moved, certainly not touched by those few cold-hearted people, but moved that Xiao Xue was actually willing to use her own blood to help him.
Although it seemed she wanted to save her Father, so she was willing to use her own blood to help him, a stranger... a ghost, yet the Ghost King could sense within her steadfast emotional fluctuations, there was a part that genuinely hoped to help him.
He had been a ghost for too long, thousands of years, so long that he had actually forgotten what humans were, what human affection was, he thought that whether it was human or ghost, they were all cold-blooded and heartless.
But Xiao Xue’s eyes were clear and pure, her heart warm, she sincerely wanted to help him.
He never expected that after being a ghost for thousands of years, his first time being moved was by a child who looked no more than four or five years old.
