Chapter 1990: Chapter 665: Major Event Preview—Dream Shattered Layer and Skr’s Gold Treasure!
If Cao Xing really did that, how would he be any different from the Watcher Leader?
At least, until he figures out how to handle this situation, he can’t act.
At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly felt a wave of relaxation on his shoulders.
A pair of soft little hands were placed on them, gently kneading.
He looked up and found it was Liu Muxue.
This beauty had somehow arrived behind Cao Xing, massaging his shoulders.
Her pressure was light, but just right.
Usually, Liu Muxue often massaged Cao Xing’s shoulders, and over time her technique had become quite skilled.
Cao Xing comfortably closed his eyes.
A few minutes later, he grabbed the beauty’s hand.
He said, "Let’s go, Muxue, let’s head out."
"Hmm," Liu Muxue responded softly.
Then, the two of them pushed open the doors of the Lord Castle together.
Just as they stepped out, Cao Xing saw two small figures at the door; they were two children.
They seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. Upon seeing Cao Xing come out, a glow appeared in their eyes immediately.
These two children were the siblings he had saved back in the Viren Kingdom.
Now, the two children had changed into clean clothes, and their injuries had improved.
However, the little boy’s face, due to previous erosion by the Blood Curse, was marked with a bright red spot, making it somewhat conspicuous.
The little girl next to him was tightly gripping his hand, seeming a bit nervous.
The little girl was very fair, with no visible scars on her body or face.
At this moment, the little boy gathered courage, stepped forward, and said with a tender voice:
"Esteemed and powerful lord, thank you for saving us and giving us a warm place and clean clothes."
"Our sincerest gratitude to you."
He clumsily bent down and saluted Cao Xing.
Looking at the wooden little girl beside him, he whispered, "Meili, quickly salute the lord."
"O... okay, brother..."
The little girl bent down as well, imitating her brother in saluting.
However, as she lowered her head, she furtively glanced at Cao Xing and Liu Muxue beside him.
And when her gaze fell on Liu Muxue’s face, she was instantly stunned by her stunning beauty.
Looking at these siblings, a smile appeared on Cao Xing’s face, and he said warmly, "It’s nothing, are your injuries improving?"
The little boy straightened up and spoke with gratitude: "Thank you for your concern, lord. Our injuries have improved a lot. We will fully recover in a few days."
"Please rest assured, once I can move freely again, I will work hard to repay your kindness."
He seemed very sensible. Even though his age was only seven or eight, his behavior and speech conveyed a maturity beyond his years.
The little girl beside him timidly added, "I’ll help out with brother too..."
Looking at the well-behaved children, a smile appeared on Cao Xing’s face again.
He asked, "What are your names?"
The little boy stopped stiffly and replied seriously, "My name is Julian, and this is my sister, Meili."
Cao Xing nodded and focused his gaze on them.
In front of him, two Attribute Panels gradually appeared.
[Name: Julian]
[Level: Level 2]
[Belonging Force: Cao Xing]
[Life Value: 354/400 (Blessing of the Pale Tree)]
[Attack Power: 1~3]
[Attribute: None]
[Skill: None]
[Talent: None]
[Status: Dream (1)]
...
...
[Name: Meili]
[Level: Level 1]
[Belonging Force: Cao Xing]
[Life Value: 127/200 (Blessing of the Pale Tree)]
[Attack Power: 0~1]
[Attribute: None]
[Skill: None]
[Talent: None]
...
...
Their attributes and talents were quite ordinary, unlike those in stories where the protagonist takes in children who are exceptionally gifted.
However, what caught Cao Xing’s attention was a few words displayed in the little boy’s status.
"What does this Dream (1) mean?"
"Is Julian dreaming?"
However, there were no notes in the system, and he wasn’t very sure what it specifically meant.
Shaking his head, Cao Xing didn’t bother to dwell on it.
After all, there were too many people in his territory with notable backgrounds.
This little boy’s status didn’t attract too much of his attention.
So Cao Xing said, "You are still too young. Currently, the territory doesn’t need you to work."
"Next, you can start learning some knowledge within the territory. Once you grow up, we can consider other things."
Upon hearing this, the siblings exchanged a glance.
Julian mustered up courage and tentatively asked, "Lord, I want to learn combat skills like those soldiers to protect my sister and the territory in the future."
"Is that possible?"
Cao Xing was slightly taken aback and then chuckled, "Yes, but while learning combat skills, you mustn’t neglect knowledge either."
At this moment, he seemed to think of something.
"Right, let me find a teacher around your age."
After speaking, he pressed the communication device by his ear and said, "Little Chuchu, come to the Lord Castle’s location and find me."
The call was quickly connected, and he heard the playful voices of two little girls.
"Sister Eliza, put me down, big brother is calling us."
"Oh no! Little Chuchu, the mecha is out of control, I can’t stop it!"
"Help me!"
Then there was a series of violent collisions and surprised cries from the two little girls.
Cao Xing’s mouth twitched.
Without thinking, he knew that Eliza was again doing something strange with Little Chuchu.
