Chapter 9 The Teacher Takes You Home
“I don’t want to… don’t leave me… alone…”
Isis was also crying in front of the palace; it was the first time he had seen the high and mighty Queen cry like this…
Of course, what moved him even more was Regent Leonhard…
All of this was a scheme set by the Regent, a scheme set with his own life…
They had asked why he had to use his noble life to create this scheme.
But he said that if it weren’t for him, how could those factions with rebellious thoughts choose to ally…
The Regent really was paving the way for the Queen with his own life…
Hearing the commotion, Philes and Enardo also came in, then reluctantly averted their gaze.
“The faction loyal to the Regent has been completely eradicated…”
“Multiple strongholds of the rebels in the city have also been taken down; their blades are all pointed at His Royal Highness the Regent.”
Cu: “So even saying that we massacre the common people was just to deliberately provoke me…”
“I heard those cries of despair… it was you executing them…”
“All for me to personally k*ll him…”
Isis: “Only if you personally slay the mastermind can the citizens of the Nix Kingdom support you even more…”
“The people need this ritual…”
Just like how a dragon slayer must personally slay the evil dragon under the eyes of the crowd and announce it to the world to be called a hero.
“Teacher…”
Isis: “Your Majesty the Queen, although you are very sad now, this is not the time to grieve. The priority now is to announce to the nation that you have personally slain the mastermind behind this large-scale conspiracy, Regent Leonhard…”
“Do you want me to make my teacher, the person who devoted his entire life to me, a criminal in the end…”
“But… if you don’t do this… everything the Regent has done will be for naught…”
“……”
“I cannot let my teacher’s hard work go to waste… Do it…”
“Yes, Your Majesty the Queen.”
…
“Teacher… I don’t want to be this queen anymore…”
“I miss you so much…”
“Can you come back?”
Cu curled up in an alley, shivering; even though it was hot outside, she felt icy all over.
She was dreaming, murmuring, missing someone…
After going through an unknown number of days and nights…
“Looking so good, and you’re sleeping out here? Boss?”
“Hiss… She looks too clean; how can she be a homeless person?”
“There shouldn’t be any problems, right, boss?”
Several disheveled middle-aged men were discussing at the entrance of the alley.
“Shut up, let me think…” The man who was called boss scratched his chin…
In the end, he made a decision: “d*mn it, we’ve already robbed people; what’s there to be afraid of?!”
“I don’t see how a woman like her can get away from a few of us big guys in this dead-end alley?!”
“The boss is right, let’s do it!”
Then, they left one person at the entrance to keep watch while the rest rushed into the alley…
…
Chen Yuan ran frantically.
This is bad; please don’t let anyone get hurt…
He arrived near the alley and turned a corner.
A man ran past Chen Yuan, shouting as he ran, “There’s a ghost!!!”
“Ah?”
An ice crystal whizzed past Chen Yuan’s face, striking the person who was fleeing and instantly knocking him unconscious.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan’s heart sank.
It’s definitely Cu…
Chen Yuan slowly approached the alley.
At the entrance were two bodies lying motionless.
Not dead, right?
Worrying, Chen Yuan also saw a white girl, as if she had walked out from an icy world, sitting in the alley, gasping for breath.
She looked injured.
Chen Yuan hurried over, but just a few steps in, another ice crystal shot towards him!
However, Chen Yuan reacted quickly, knowing her methods in advance, and due to his understanding of her.
The moment he saw her wave her hand, he immediately reacted, agile enough to barely dodge it.
“Cu!” he called out urgently; if Cu attacked again, he wouldn’t be able to dodge.
Hearing that familiar voice, and realizing he called her name, Cu’s mind blanked, followed by a ringing in her ears…
The remaining fragment of her consciousness made her look in his direction.
Due to her thin spiritual power, she hadn’t sensed anyone approaching while she was asleep, awakening to find several men already in front of her.
The strength of the adult men was still quite formidable; she had completely defeated several of them using the remaining energy in her body, plus she hadn’t eaten anything for several days since arriving in this world, leaving her very weakened.
At this moment, even if she had no strength to stand, she still struggled to lean against the wall and limped toward Chen Yuan.
With the faint light filtering into the alley, she finally recognized the person coming toward her.
The person she had missed day and night…
“Teacher…”
Years of accumulated grievances exploded at that moment; her nose became sour, and her beautiful eyes instantly filled with tears.
Chen Yuan stepped closer and saw the “bed” she had made with paper…
The sacred and noble Queen… came to his world and actually… slept in such a place…
Chen Yuan’s heart felt like it had been suddenly twisted…
So painful…
It was as if someone had thrown a huge brick at his eyes…
“Sigh.” He replied gently, “The teacher is here…”
Hearing the affirmative response, Cu sniffled and wiped her tears.
She couldn’t let herself be so disheveled when finally meeting the teacher…
But the more she wiped, the more tears flowed, unable to stop…
As if all the grievances of these years were to be released at once, she cried out in pain…
Crying like a child…
“Teacher…”
She wanted to rush into Chen Yuan’s arms.
But due to her lack of strength, after taking a step forward, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Then, she felt a warm embrace…
It was the first time in so many years she felt such warmth…
Finally, she could be free from fear…
Chen Yuan was quick to react, catching her the moment she leaned forward to fall.
She was so cold…
Her body was chilly; it seemed her bloodline was like this even in this world…
Using magic would do this.
He clasped her delicate hand and realized that the person in his arms had lost consciousness.
Was she too weak…?
Looking at the snow-white girl becoming like this because of him, Chen Yuan felt heartbroken.
He gently stroked her silky hair and spoke softly.
“Come, teacher will take you home…”
