CHAPTER 403: CHAPTER 256: THE LEGEND OF THE DEUS OSE ARTIFACT (I)

Carefree Meng Lan looked at Luo Chen with an eager expression, her eyes glittering with hopeful light. That look filled Luo Chen’s heart with warmth, while also making him find it a bit amusing. He could feel that this sister genuinely cared about him, treating him like family.

The joy in Luo Chen’s heart surged like a tide; he had just experienced a tough battle and successfully leveled up, feeling full of encouragement at this moment. Seeing Carefree Meng Lan’s anxious and expectant gaze, he suddenly thought that calling "Sister" might not be such a difficult thing.

So, he smiled and clearly called out again: "Sister Naxue."

Upon hearing this title, Carefree Meng Lan’s lips curled up slightly, revealing deep emotion. However, for some reason, her nose suddenly tingled, and two drops of tears rolled down her cheeks. She looked at Luo Chen affectionately and said firmly, "Luo Chen kitty, from now on you’re my kitty. I won’t allow anything to happen to you anymore, do you hear me!"

Luo Chen felt warmth in his heart and nodded solemnly, replying, "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful next time."

Carefree Meng Lan nodded in satisfaction, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. Only then did she notice Ling Yueyaya’s face beside her, still pale, obviously not yet fully recovered from the earlier danger. She quickly walked over and asked with concern, "Yaya, are you okay? You still look very weak."

Ling Yueyaya forced a smile and softly said, "I’m fine, Sister Naxue. It’s great that you have another kitty." However, a hint of unnoticeable disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Carefree Meng Lan didn’t notice this subtle change and happily said, "Haha, yes, narrowly escaping death now promises blessings ahead."

The others also let out comforting laughs, and Luo Chen scratched his head a bit embarrassedly, showing a shy smile.

However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly came over: "Hmph, just a poor boy from Blue Moon, is he worth your happiness?"

This voice was like a cold shower on everyone’s heads, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward. Luo Chen turned to see a young man in noble attire, looking at them coldly. His eyes revealed disdain and contempt, as if looking down on this group of people.

Carefree Meng Lan frowned, clearly displeased with this young man’s attitude. She was about to retort but was gently tugged at her sleeve by Luo Chen. Luo Chen smiled at her slightly, signaling her not to be impulsive. Then he turned to the young man and calmly said, "Perhaps to you, I’m merely a poor boy from Blue Moon. But to me, the concern and warmth from these friends are priceless. Our happiness isn’t about identity or wealth, but about mutual friendship and trust."

"Kitty..." Carefree Meng Lan turned back, her gaze landing on Ling Yueyun’s pale face. He clutched his chest, with eyes filled with disdain, staring straight at Luo Chen. Despite his evidently poor health, his innate arrogance didn’t diminish at all; obviously, his prejudice against Luo Chen remained deep-rooted.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ling Yueyun slowly walked towards Carefree Meng Lan, each step appearing difficult, yet carrying an indomitable pride. He frowned and said weakly, "Sis, it’s late, why are you all still gathered here?"

Carefree Meng Lan’s eyes flashed with worry, she sighed softly, "Your injuries are serious, you should rest well, not move around casually."

Ling Yueyun snorted coldly, replied unhappily, "I was woken up by the commotion here. This guy, instead of resting late at night, came here to make a fuss. Sis, you’re so devoted to him, it’s simply irrational." His words were full of dissatisfaction and prejudice against Luo Chen.

Carefree Meng Lan, upon hearing his words, slightly frowned, she interrupted Ling Yueyun, glanced apologetically at Luo Chen, "Alright, kitty, let’s leave this matter here. Let’s go back..." Her voice was light but contained an undeniable firmness.

Everyone nodded upon hearing her words, preparing to leave. However, at this moment, Ling Yueyaya suddenly spoke up, "Sister Naxue, we encountered the Deosai artifact in Bell Lake."

"What?" Carefree Meng Lan turned around in shock, her eyes filled with incredibility. Not only she and the others were stunned, but even Ling Yueyun, who always maintained an arrogant demeanor, showed a horrified expression.

"Yaya, are you sure about what you said?" Carefree Meng Lan’s voice trembled slightly with excitement, her face also flushed slightly because of this inexpressible longing. The Deosai artifact is a legendary relic, and its appearance undoubtedly adds more mystery and anticipation to this adventure.
