Ning Feng and the others couldnât contain their elation and surprise. They took the lead to fly to the sky to welcome the returning Nie Xiao. However, when they got closer, they were stunned by the sorrow on Nie Xiaoâs face.
They saw tears uncontrollably flowing from the corners of Nie Xiaoâs flushed eyes as he stood desolately amid the blue sky. He raised his head and wept quietly, âBabyâŠâ
They had never seen such a sad Nie Xiao.
A terrible and grievous conjecture popped up in their mind. Could it be that Saathâs bullshit plan really succeeded? Was Xiao WuYi really killed by him?
âBossâŠâ said Ning Feng in a trembling voice while looking at Nie Xiao. He gripped Nie Xiaoâs arms with both hands. âWhereâs WuYi? Whereâs our little hamster?â
Nie Xiaoâs red eyes looked at Ning Feng blankly and helplessly, tears falling involuntarily. Recalling the vague explosion heâd heard at that moment, his heart hurt so much it was as if it had been dug out. He opened his mouth, yet no sound came out.
He was so tremendously sad it seemed like he had lost his soul.
When Xiao Yan and the group saw Nie Xiaoâs state, they burst into tears. They couldnât restrain their lips from uttering sobs.
âŠâŠ
The night passed and a new dawn broke. Two days passed by in the blink of an eye, and the Allianceâs reinforcements had finally arrived on Earth.
With violent rumbling and tremors, several huge ships cleaved through the white clouds and descended from the sky. This spectacular scene instantly attracted everyoneâs attention.
However, all of this couldnât set off any waves in Nie Xiaoâs heart. He was still standing in the same spot in the sky, untiring and unaware of hunger, seemingly waiting for something idiotically.
Ning Feng, Duan Wenyu, and the team had been guarding Nie Xiao in turns. When they heard the movement on the horizon, they called out to him several times with bloodshot eyes, and yet, they couldnât get a response.
At that moment, a few small black dots could be seen leaping out of the huge ship at an extremely fast speed before eagerly flying in their direction.
Both MoYan and AnYi couldnât wait to see their child. They noticed Nie Xiaoâs group in the sky and thought they were there specially to welcome them.
AnYi controlled the wind around him as he flew over with a smile. He said in a friendly and gentle manner, âAre you all from the WuYi Base? Hello, I am the Grand Secretary of the Nemo Royal Clan, AnYi.â
MoYan also followed not a moment after. He smiled and declared his possession: âEn, heâs also my wife.â AnYi unhappily gave MoYan a fist.
Possier, Feng Dao, and Feng Qiang greeted their fathers. Sislowâs eyes reddened directly. A small cannonball plunged into Lord Randtâs arms. Clutching his fatherâs collars with both hands, he bawled, âPapa, youâre too late! Why are you only here now uwaahh!
âHis Highness WuYi sacrificed his life uwaaahh!!â
AnYi and MoYan quickly caught the keywords. They abruptly turned their heads before questioning with ugly faces, âWhat did you just say!?â
At this moment, they had finally realized that the surrounding emotions werenât quite right. The downcast and silent atmosphere didnât seem like it should be what those welcoming them should have.
Sislow cried while explaining, clarifying what had happened in the past two days briefly, âThat Saath of the Qitu race came over two days ago. He wanted to capture His Highness WuYi to create a new world. He threatened His Highness WuYi by saying that heâd blow up all of us if he didnât go with him. After that, His Highness WuYi, Nie Xiao, and Saath all disappeared. In the end, Boss came back, but His Highness never did!!
âWuuwawa, itâs because weâre too weak. We couldnât protect His Highness WuYi uwaaaâŠâ
After listening to the bad newsâ whole course of events, AnYiâs face suddenly paled, and he took two steps back, his figure tottering midair. MoYan couldnât accept this fact, his eyes flushed crimson as he supported AnYiâs arms. His chest rose and fell for a while as his breathing was unstable.
âHow could this beâŠâ The expressions of Duke Seidon and Lord Randt too became really ugly. If the last royal bloodline of the Nemo Royal Clan really fell, the entire Interstellar Alliance would be shaken by it!
On the side, Duan WenYu, Wu Wenqi, and the rest could imagine WuYiâs importance to MoYan and the others, but they could only be silent and grieve at this point.
MoYan was unwilling to believe it. He could not accept it. He temporarily handed AnYi to Xiao Yan at the side for her to watch after him, looked at Nie Xiao, who was standing quietly not far away, and rushed over aggressively, grabbing the otherâs collar and roaring questions with bloodshot eyes, âYou were with His Highness at the end so why didnât you protect him!? Why! What happened in the middle!!?â
Regarding the secrets of the royal bloodlineâs abilities, MoYan knew it very well, so he could not accept it even moreâthat his familyâs little highness, who had his living-things-containing space and shuttle ability, couldnât protect himself!!
âSpeak! What happened in the middle? Tell me carefully and clearly!â MoYan bellowed with red eyes while shaking Nie Xiao by his collar. In the end, he punched the otherâs cheek.
Seeing this scene, everyone exclaimed and stepped forward to interfere.
Nie Xiao wiped the corner of his mouth where bright red blood spilled out. He slowly raised his eyes to look at MoYan before replying in an incomparably calm voice, âBaby will be back. He last said to me that heâd be fine. I will wait for him here.â
After his immense sadness passed, Nie Xiao calmed down and recalled the last sentence Xiao WuYi had said to him. Whether heâd lied to him or not, he chose to believe it. If he wasnât back after a day, then heâd wait here for a lifetime.
âYou fuckerâŠâ MoYan saw Nie Xiaoâs indifferent, calm appearance, which dyed his eyes even redder. He was so angry he wanted to rush and beat him up, yet Nie Xiao, contrarily, had not the slightest intentions of fighting back.
Shaking off the crowd, MoYan grabbed Nie Xiao by his neckline and started to punch him. Nie Xiao didnât do anything and simply looked over MoYanâs shoulder at the sky in front of him. Just then, his eyes couldnât help but widen, gradually reddening at the same time.
The snow-white clouds amid the blue sky before him suddenly began to fluctuate and distort, following it was a cute soft voice.
âUncle, youâre too much! How can you bully Daddy while Babyâs away!!!â
Everyone present was made dumbstruck by the familiar voice. They followed the voice and looked over, then saw a youth emerge from the cotton-candy-like clouds unharmed.
Xiao WuYi directly squeezed in between Nie Xiao and MoYan, looking at his uncle with a puffed face, hands on his hips. His small mouth rebuked MoYan for bullying Nie Xiao while he was gone.
This angry little appearance showed no trace of suffering. In an instant, everyoneâs eyes flushed.

âGreat, Xiao WuYi, youâre finally back!!!â
âAaahh, thank goodness!!!â
âYouâre safe, thatâs really great!!!â
âŠâŠ
Everyone hurriedly surrounded him with excitement, which made Xiao WuYi taken aback. He helplessly took two steps back in panic and retreated directly into Nie Xiaoâs arms. âEveryone⊠whatâs wrong with everyone ya?â
Nie Xiao tightly hugged the lost and found youth, buried his head in his neck, and took a deep breath of longing, his eyes uncontrollably red. âBaby, everyoneâs welcoming you back safely.â
Xiao WuYi finally noticed the skyâs color indicating dawn. He then looked MoYan and AnYi who should have only appeared here two days later, and he suddenly realized the time gap he took up in between. He couldnât help feeling a little ashamed and guilty. âSorry, it was Baby who worried everyone.â
The red-eyed MoYan shook his head and forcefully took his familyâs little Highness from Nie Xiaoâs arms so that he could check him thoroughly. âItâs okay, itâs okay. Itâs already good that youâre back.â
AnYi also leaned over at this time, the rims of his eyes somewhat red, and hugged Xiao WuYi. After separating for several years, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. âYou naughty1Â little villain!â
Xiao WuYi gazed at his Uncle AnYi, whom he missed very much. He immediately hugged the otherâs waist, brimming with tears. His sudden spoiled act akin to a tiger made everyone around him laugh.
âAuntie, Baby missed you so much too!â
âTsk, I said to call me Little Uncle!â
âHahahaha!!â
âŠâŠ
Seeing this joyous scene, Nie Xiaoâs lips uncontrollably curved. Sincere gratitude and gladness stemmed from the depths of his heart. Fortunately, his heartâs cutest little sun had finally returned to them safely.
âWoah! Everyone, look at the sunrise over there!â
Hearing Ning Fengâs voice, everyone looked towards the east. The daybreak sun was slowly rose from the middle of the mountains, and its warm golden sunlight shone on the land that had experienced great changes and hardships.
The world was about to usher in a brand new beginning.
