Chapter 409: Mo Ran Prequel (Side Story 3)
Mo Ran turned around and smiled gently at He Jiaojiao, as if to comfort her and tell her not to worry about him.
"If I kneel down, will you let Jiaojiao go?"
Mo Ran looked up and asked Bai Yu.
The eagerness in Bai Yu's eyes seemed to be about to overflow. He couldn't wait any longer. He didn't even pay attention to what Mo Ran said and just nodded.
"Okay, I kneel!"
Mo Ran stood up and walked in front of Bai Yu, biting his lower lip tightly. Behind him, He Jiaojiao kept crying and begging Mo Ran not to kneel. She said she would rather die with Mo Ran than let him suffer such humiliation.
But the more He Jiaojiao acted like this, the more Mo Ran's heart ached. The previous scene flashed through his mind. Jiaojiao was lying on his legs, discussing with him the name of the child after he was born with a happy face.
"hurry up!"
Bai Yu seemed to be getting impatient and urged angrily.
Mo Ran knelt down, "Is this enough?"
Seeing Mo Ran so submissive before him, Bai Yu's vanity was greatly satisfied. He laughed crazily. Then he looked at the two beast gods, Suzaku and Xuanwu, and said in a boastful manner.
"Look, what's so different about the Dragon God? He still kneels before me!"
Seeing Mo Ran like this, He Jiaojiao felt so heartbroken as if she was about to die. She forced herself to stand up. The pain in her abdomen had made her numb. She slowly walked towards Bai Yu.
At this moment, Bai Yu was very excited and did not take the female He Jiaojiao seriously at all.
But the next second, He Jiaojiao suddenly quickened her pace and rushed to Bai Yu, stabbing the dagger in her hand into Bai Yu's heart with lightning speed.
This scene happened so suddenly that no one could react. Bai Yu only felt a pain in his heart. He lowered his head in disbelief, and all he saw was a sea of bright red, and the dagger held by He Jiaojiao with a trembling body.
"Damn it!" Bai Yu gathered his strength and struck out with a palm strike towards He Jiaojiao.
He Jiaojiao closed her eyes in fear, but the expected pain did not appear. When she opened her eyes, she saw Mo Ran standing in front of her at some point, with blood constantly flowing out of his mouth.
"Aran!" He Jiaojiao's eyes were bloodshot.
"Jiaojiao..."
Mo Ran slowly fell down, with bright red blood still gushing out of his mouth, splashing onto his face, neck, and everywhere.
Looking at the scene in front of her, He Jiaojiao's head buzzed, as if she couldn't hear anything. All she could see was Mo Ran looking at her affectionately, with blood constantly gushing out.
When Bai Yu realized that he had killed Mo Ran, he felt a moment of panic, and then he burst into laughter happily.
Zhuque and Xuanwu, who were standing by, panicked when they saw this scene. They hurriedly took their females and fled without looking back.
It was Ah Xi, however. She was trembling as she looked at Bai Yu's almost crazy appearance. She knew that Bai Yu had been a little crazy in recent years, but it was the first time she saw Bai Yu like this, and she actually felt a little scared in her heart.
"Ah...Aran..."
Tears fell like beads from a broken string. He Jiaojiao knelt beside Mo Ran and tried to help him up. But she was so anxious that she tried several times but failed to help Mo Ran up.
"Aran!"
He Jiaojiao collapsed and screamed, and finally pulled Mo Ran up with all her strength, and rested his head on her legs.
Looking at the grief-stricken He Jiaojiao, Mo Ran's eyes were filled with heartache. He wanted to hug his Jiaojiao and tell her not to be afraid, that he was not hurt at all.
But when he opened his mouth, only blood kept gushing out and he couldn't make any sound at all.
"Hahahaha..." Bai Yu laughed wildly, as if the current situation was exactly what he wanted to see.
"Bai Yu!" Ah Xi rushed over, supported the shaky Bai Yu, and wanted to pull out the dagger from his heart with trembling hands, but she didn't dare, not even to hold the dagger.
"Dead, he is finally dead!"
Bai Yu grabbed Ah Xi, the madness in her eyes seemed to be overflowing. Ah Xi was frightened, at this moment, she was really scared.
"Bai Yu, let's go. I'll take you back."
Since Mo Ran was already dead and Bai Yu was seriously injured, Ah Xi still felt that it would be better to take him back first. So, she dragged Bai Yu away.
He Jiaojiao looked at Mo Ran in her arms with sorrow, until his life gradually disappeared.
Suddenly, He Jiaojiao smiled, with endless tenderness and tenderness on her face. She slowly put Mo Ran down and held Mo Ran's face with her hands very gently.
Bai Yu looked at He Jiaojiao with some confusion, worried that she had gone crazy because of Mo Ran's death.
The next second, He Jiaojiao placed her hand on Mo Ran's heart.
"Aran, I won't let you die~" He Jiaojiao said, closing her eyes.
A faint golden light began to emanate from their surroundings, enveloping the two of them. After several seconds, the golden light dissipated. Seeing Mo Ran, who had regained his vitality, He Jiaojiao finally collapsed with satisfaction.
Mo Ran slowly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. He clearly remembered that he was dead.
The next moment, he hurriedly sat up and wanted to look for He Jiaojiao, but found that she was lying beside him, motionless.
“Jiao... Jiaojiao...”
Seeing He Jiaojiao's pale face, Mo Ran felt very bad. He tried to call out twice, but found that He Jiaojiao didn't respond at all.
"Jiaojiao!" Mo Ran pounced over, and the moment he touched He Jiaojiao, he found that her whole body was cold.
He Jiaojiao is dead!
The bodies of the gods will dissipate bit by bit after death and disappear between heaven and earth.
Mo Ran collapsed after watching He Jiaojiao's body disintegrate. He knew that Jiaojiao must have exchanged her life for his own.
Mo Ran's grief caused heavy rain to fall for a long time in the Dragon God Continent, which led to mountain torrents, dispersed many tribes, and caused the deaths of many orcs.
Mo Ran felt a little numb as he listened to his people praying to him for protection.
In the past, He Jiaojiao would have come over and urged him to help immediately, not to just watch his people suffer.
But now, there was no longer that gentle voice urging him in his ears, only the ice-cold corpse.
revenge!
When these two words appeared in his mind, Mo Ran came back to life.
He assigned the affairs of the Dragon God Continent to his best friend, a mermaid, and then he went to the White Tiger Continent, found Bai Yu, and tried his best to kill him.
After taking revenge, Mo Ran suddenly lost his direction.
He missed He Jiaojiao like crazy. Perhaps his obsession was too deep. One night, he saw the way of heaven.
God took pity on him and told him that there was a way for He Jiaojiao to return to his side, but the method was dangerous and there was a high risk of death.
But none of this mattered to Mo Ran. What mattered was that he wanted Jiaojiao to return to him. So on a peaceful and quiet night, he died, holding the animal skin skirt that He Jiaojiao had made for her unborn child.
