Chapter 126: Dreamland Episode: We Don't Escape

Bai Qingyu's proposal is currently the best solution, and Xi Xi nodded, saying, "Alright."
But just as Xi Xi and Bai Qingyu turned around, the little kid looked up and cried out, "Sister..."
The two of them stood still in surprise, turned around, and looked at the tearful little child, feeling even more at a loss.
The little child stood up and hugged Bai Qingyuhu and Xi Xi, crying, "Sister, don't leave me behind..."
Xixi and Baiqing Yu glanced at each other, and Xixi tentatively reached out and patted his back, asking, "Are you...are you afraid of us?"
"I am not afraid of you, I am...I am touched, well, I definitely am not afraid of you."
"Moved?!"
Bai Qingyu has saved lives before, following his senior brothers to help many people. Most of them express their gratitude and thankfulness for his efforts, but it is rare to encounter someone so moved that they cry so heavily.
His experiences and his tears inadvertently touched the deepest part of Bai Qingyu's heart, which was also the reason why she wanted to help him.
Bai Qingyu lowered her gaze and looked at him, her eyes showing a rare expression of tenderness. She reached out and rubbed his head, saying, "You are a man, don't shed tears easily."
Moxi listened to her say this and secretly chuckled. If it were me, I might cry even harder upon hearing such comforting words at this moment;
"Okay, stop crying."
Mengxi squatted down and hugged him...
The little brat stopped crying and looked pitifully at the two of them. This appearance was a stark contrast to his previous recklessness in the snake pit.
"Sister, can you take me with you when you leave?"
Mingxi was surprised and asked, "You want to come with us?"
She hadn't considered this when she decided to save him earlier. Now, thinking about it, she realized that the path they were taking was full of unknown dangers. How could a young child endure such hardships?
"I am not afraid of hardship, tiredness, or danger... I can do anything, and my blood is precious. It can cure all poisons and can also be exchanged for money. I will not become a burden to you. Sister, please take me with you!"
Bai Qingyu thought for a moment, sat down on the spot, and asked, "If you follow us, what about your parents?"
Before knowing the truth, Bai Qingyu felt that adoptive parents are also parents. Even if they have done something wrong, they have raised him and should be taken care of in their old age.
In Bai Qingyu's heart, filial piety is the most important thing, of course, her biological father Prince Jin is not included, only her mother, master Bai Xumei, and her martial brothers.
The brat pouted and said, "They are not my parents. The only reason I stay by their side and work hard is because of the debt. But I have already paid off that debt, and now I don't owe them anything!"
"You idiot, who told you that we are even?"
The man spoke, and next to him stood the woman, who was holding a package in her hand. It was taken away from the child before he was bound and taken to the secret room.
"My parcel, give it back to me!!!"
The little brat was about to rush over and snatch back the parcel, but was stopped by Bai Qingyu, who pulled him back to Xin Xi's side;
"Huh, your parcel? Every inch of you belongs to us."
The man said as he reached inside and pulled out a bar of gold, waving it in front of him, "You scoundrel, where did this money come from? If you had money, why didn't you hand it over earlier and avoid all this nonsense?"
"Give it back to me, it's mine!!!"
"Bah!! Yours?! Let me tell you, you owe us a debt that you will never be able to repay in this lifetime!!!"
"I have already repaid it long ago!!! The fifty taels of silver you used to buy flowers for my brother's funeral, I have paid it back many times over by selling my blood over the years!!! I have the receipts!!!"
"Bill? So that's how it is!"
It finally dawned on the couple that he insisted on them writing him a bill for this reason;
Now they can't deny it, but there's one thing that even with evidence, they can't clear up.
The man snorted and laughed, "These are already paid off, but what about the years of nurturing you provided? Do you still want payment for those?"
"I didn't eat your food or wear your clothes! From the moment I started following you, I wore what I stole from beggars, lived in a rundown cave, and ate raw snake meat. Except for the money to bury my brother, I have never spent a single dime of yours. But you, where did you spend all the money I earned from selling my blood for these years? I don't need to say anything else, do I?"
When Meng Xi and Bai Qingyu heard him finish his words, their brows furrowed tighter and their faces turned even more cold and stern. If he said anything more, they feared they would lose control and directly punish the couple for it!
A couple glared at them with guilt and, unable to refute the young child's words, angrily threatened him, "So now you're feeling brave, huh? Forget about gratitude once you have a protector? Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson, you heartless ingrate!"
A man finished his tough talk, rolled up his sleeves and tried to grab the little brat. Unexpectedly, his legs were numbed by the ice cubes shot by Baiqing Yu. He fell on the ground with a thud and the woman screamed, shouting that she wanted to kill someone...
Here is a desolate wilderness. Even if she shouted as loudly as she could, it would be futile. However, Xi Xī, feeling a pain in her ears, pulled out her sword and pointed at them, rebuking, "Shut up! If you shout again, believe me, I will freeze you into ice sculptures immediately!!!"
The sword in her hand, they had witnessed its power. In the secret room, while preparing to sneak away through the secret passage during the chaos of the battle, they unintentionally saw the gruesome aftermath of those who had died by this sword, each one a horrifying sight;
They were scared and immediately shut their mouths in fear.
Minxi gently patted the shoulder of the little kid and softly asked, "Have you decided to distance yourself from them?"
"At the moment I pay off the money, I will no longer have any relationship with them."
A man asked angrily, "No problem? If there's no problem, would you still be with us for so many years? You would have left long ago!"
The kid replied in anger, "I've tried to escape many times, but have I ever succeeded?!"
"Hmph, you know it well, you can't escape, even if you climb up to them, you still can't escape!"
"He won't escape this time."
Xixi raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a cold smile, and then said, "He will walk upright in this world."
"Huh, your skills are decent, but compared to them, you're still too young!"
The word "too young" sounded quite creepy coming out of his mouth, and Bai Qingyu couldn't stand it. She immediately shot him in the mouth with a slingshot loaded with crushed ice.
"You!!!"
A man angrily scraped off the broken ice chips, feeling upset and wanting to argue back. However, Bai Qingyu's sharp look made him hold back.
Moxi pointed to the package in his hand and said, "Give it back to him."
"Why should his things be mine? What do I owe him?!"
"While I'm still in a good mood, you better do as I say, return his belongings first, and then you'll have a chance to state your conditions. We might consider accepting them."
Man testingly asked, "Any conditions?!"
"Stop bargaining, you know, if I want something, I can just take it directly!"
The man looked at the package. The most valuable thing inside was the bar of gold, but he already had it in his pocket. The rest was just a cloak and a few stale biscuits, which he didn't care about, so he didn't hesitate to throw the package away.
But he hasn't thrown it yet, Bai Qingyu coldly said, "Hand it over."
Moxi added, "And the gold."
The man didn't want to at first, but when he saw Moxi shaking the ice sword in her hand, he backed down, suppressing his anger and took out the gold to stuff it into the package, then tossed the package to the woman, saying with a bad attitude, "You go."
The woman held the package, her legs trembling as she half walked, half stumbled forward;
With only five or six steps left, the little brat boldly approached and snatched the package away, then quickly returned to the woman's side;
The woman was almost hit and managed to steady herself before giving the brat a stern look.
Moxi patted the brat and asked, "Take a look, is there anything else missing?"
The little brat opened the package and found a neatly folded cloak, a few pieces of bread, and the gold that they had left for him;
The little brat didn't respond, but carefully counted everything, then shook his head and said, "All my belongings are here."
"Is this all you want to take back?"
At this moment, Qinxī actually didn't understand why the brat treasured these things so much. These things were just ordinary, not valuable or particularly significant.
The little boy tied the package, which he treasured, on his back and responded to Minxi's words, "This was left by my sister! I've grown up, and besides my brother buying me steamed buns, no one has ever treated me so well again."
Xixi now understands that what he cares about is not the superficial material, but the emotions that have been missing for a long time;
"Whatever you want in the future, sister will buy it for you. No need to worry and live in fear anymore, stand up straight and walk in the sunlight with confidence."
男子跪在雪地里，双腿又麻又痛，他们倒好，在自己面前搞这么一出认亲护短的戏码，装给谁看呢？！
“喂，现在可以满足一下老子的条件了吗？”
"Okay."
When Minxi looked at him again, the gentle look in her eyes had already turned cold and fierce like the winter wind;
The man trembled when he met her gaze, and the woman beside him dared not look directly at her.
"If you want to take him away, it's not impossible, but you also know that he is very valuable, so the price to exchange for him is ten thousand taels of gold, as well as the sword in your hand and her bow and arrow. As long as you promise, I guarantee that I will never bother him again from now on!"
"The sword in my hand? Heh...You probably can't take it! Hey, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I think you are incapable of doing so."
With these words, Xi Xi tossed the ice sword directly in front of him and said, "If you can take it, go ahead and take it."
A man's eyes lit up, almost drooling, and hurriedly said, "You said it, don't regret it!"
Xixi smiled and remained silent, but the little brat was very worried. He tugged at her cloak and tried to persuade her, "Sister..."
Bai Qingyu replied, "It's okay, he can't take it."
The little brat didn't understand, and at this moment, a man shouted in panic and confusion, "What, what is happening? Daring to play dirty?!"
Ming Xi slowly approached, watching with amusement as his right hand gripping the sword gradually froze...
