章節 224: Declaring Sovereignty

Sensing the fluctuation from behind, Xia Xishuang subconsciously turned around.

However, as soon as she did, Chen Chen hugged her tightly.

"I couldn't hug Master or Zhang Ji, but I can hug you, right?" 

Hugging Xia Xishuang tightly in his most emotional predicament, Chen Chen felt extremely delighted and warm.

"Xishuang, since you are here, please allow me to coddle you before leaving?" 

"I'm sorry... Chen Chen, I couldn't help you."

Xia Xishuang whispered.

Chen Chen looked at the woman in his arms, whose beautiful face was stained with a wisp of blood. He was full of complicated emotions.

His thoughtful hand gently wiped away the bloodstains on Xia Xishuang's face before hugging her even more tightly. 

"It's my fault, I promised to weather all storms and protect you, but I've even caused you more pain."
