Chapter 62 Jun Yuelan is dead? !
“Xiao Jie, are you going to keep refusing to eat or drink? I know Junyue Lan’s death is a big blow to you, but you have to think about the Starfish Elder, he’s still injured for us.” Xiao Jie lowered his head, his expression desolate. He wanted to escape, to avoid facing reality. His closest friend was gone, and the elder he respected most was injured. Now, only they were left, weak and vulnerable. Thinking about this, Xiao Jie felt even more depressed.
“Xiao Jie, Xiao Gui… you… what did you just say…” Jiang Li’s voice was very soft, and it trembled slightly. Xiao Jie and Xiao Gui, who were immersed in their gloom, couldn’t believe their ears when they heard the familiar voice. They looked back in fear, their eyes wide.
“Xiao Li…” The two widened their eyes, their bodies trembled slightly, and they rubbed their eyes in disbelief. After confirming that the person behind them was real, Xiao Jie couldn’t control his emotions anymore, he swam over and hugged Jiang Li with his small body.
“Xiao Li, it’s really you!” Xiao Gui also rushed over, and used his soft little paws to touch Jiang Li’s arm. He could touch her, she was warm, it was this feeling!
The person in front of him was really Jiang Li, not someone else’s illusion. But Jiang Li was not in the mood to comfort them, her mind was filled with the conversation she had just heard. “Xiao Gui, Xiao Jie, I ask you…” She took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in her heart, and asked the question she had just heard with difficulty. “What you just said, is it true? Junyue Lan… is he… dead?” Hearing this question, Xiao Jie and Xiao Gui’s faces also turned pale. They both lowered their heads, hesitating to speak. “You tell me! Is it true or not!” Jiang Li lost her patience, and shouted at them. This was the first time she had lost her temper with them.
They knew she was worried about Junyue Lan’s whereabouts and comfort, and they didn’t get angry about it. Seeing Xiao Jie’s face sullen, his lips tightly pursed, he didn’t say anything. Xiao Gui sighed helplessly. He had to speak. “Xiao Li, I told you not to be too sad.” Jiang Li’s heart sank. From their previous conversation, she knew the answer, but she still wanted to ask, afraid that she had heard wrong. In fact, she was just like Xiao Jie now, escaping.
She took a long breath, her eyes and nose slightly sore. She held back the tears that were welling up in her eyes, and nodded heavily. “Okay, tell me.” “After you left, the King knew that he had secretly saved you, raised the offspring of the fox clan, and hurt his brothers, so he sentenced him to death.” After Xiao Gui’s last words fell, Jiang Li couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore.
A tear rolled down her cheek without warning. Her eyes were vacant, she slumped weakly onto the cold ground, covering her face with her hands, countless tears flowed out from her fingers like they were free, falling onto the ground. “How could this happen…” Her body trembled uncontrollably; her voice hoarse. It felt like thousands of arrows pierced through her heart, the pain was unbearable, even her breathing was heavy. “It’s all because of me.” Jiang Li kept blaming herself. If Junyue Lan hadn’t saved her back then, he wouldn’t have lost his life.
The root cause was all because of her. Seeing Jiang Li like this, Xiao Jie felt even more heartbroken. He swam to Jiang Li, his tail gently patting her head. “Xiao Li, it’s not your fault.” He spoke softly, comforting Jiang Li. But how could Jiang Li, who was in a state of collapse and distress, hear these words? “No, it’s all my fault!
” She raised her head, taking her hands away, her wide eyes filled with bloodshot redness. “It would have been better if he hadn’t saved me… none of this would have happened.” Her voice grew softer, her eyes were vacant, she looked straight ahead, her lips kept muttering “It would have been better if he hadn’t saved me.” Xiao Jie felt sorry for her, he didn’t want her to continue to be sad. “Xiao Li, I went to see Junyue Lan before he was executed.”
He took a deep breath, and told her Junyue Lan’s last words. “He knew that you would collapse after hearing this news, he didn’t want to see you hurt and sad, he wanted you to cheer up. He also knew that you would definitely come back, so he asked me to bring you his last words.” “What did he say?” Jiang Li’s vacant eyes regained some life when she heard this.
“He said, I never regretted saving you, falling in love with you. And I don’t want you to live with a burden in the future. I believe that this is just a temporary separation, and we will definitely see each other again someday.” After Junyue Lan decided to save her, he had already prepared himself to be punished and executed. Especially since Jiang Li had given birth to the child of their mortal enemy, the fox clan. As the prince of the merfolk, even if he was not favored, the blood flowing in his veins still prevented him from doing such a rebellious act of betrayal against the merfolk. “Where is his body? Where is it now?” She wanted to see Junyue Lan one last time, even if it was just his body. She even wanted to take his body out of this terrifying and gloomy Sana River.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Jie and Xiao Gui both shook their heads. Xiao Gui: “We don’t know.” Xiao Jie: “I’ve inquired. Junyue Lan’s body was secretly disposed of by the King. Some even say that the King threw his body into the deep sea to feed the sharks.
” Hearing this, Jiang Li collapsed again. “How could he do this? Junyue Lan is his child!” Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, how could he be so cruel as to feed Junyue Lan’s body to the sharks? Even in death, he couldn’t tolerate him? Xiao Jie shook his head, “We don’t know the specifics, we can only unconditionally obey any decision the King makes.” Yes, to the King of the merfolk, they were just ants that could be easily crushed. Xiao Jie originally thought that after conveying Junyue Lan’s last words to Jiang Li, she would be able to cheer up. But unexpectedly, after hearing that Junyue Lan didn’t even have a body left, Jiang Li covered her face and cried again.
“Xiao Li, don’t feel sad.” Xiao Gui waved his four paws in panic. He hadn’t even comforted Xiao Jie yet, and now there was another person. Although their turtle elder had said that when things happened, don’t panic, just hide in your shell. But how could he hide in his shell now? He felt so busy, overwhelmed. “I also promised Xiao Rui… this time I go back, I must… bring his father back… but now I can’t even see his body…”
Jiang Li choked back sobs, crying so hard that she couldn’t catch her breath, her words were broken and fragmented. Xiao Gui was also anxious, he didn’t even hear what Jiang Li was saying. He subconsciously blurted out, trying to catch up with her words. “It’s okay, it’s okay, if you can’t see him, then don’t see him, you should also tell him not to be so sad.”
