I Love Little Watermelon

Chapter 558 Postponing the Siege

But even with Yuan Xiaoyao's explanation, Li Moli still didn't believe it. Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes.

In Li Moli's opinion, there wasn't a single living person in the world worth trusting.

Yuan Xiaoyao sighed helplessly and said, "Auntie, I'm so old, I still have some ability to tell the difference, so you don't have to worry about me."

Over the years, Yuan Xiaoyao had seen many people. She might not be able to distinguish between genuine and fake people one hundred percent of the time, but she still had some basic discernment skills.

Besides, Yuan Muye was really good to her. When he had something good, she was the first person he thought of.

"Then will you choose to follow me next, or continue to follow him?" Li Moli saw that Yuan Xiaoyao really approved of Yuan Muye, so she didn't want to keep dwelling on this matter. Instead, she directly asked Yuan Xiaoyao.

No matter what decision Yuan Xiaoyao made, Li Moli wouldn't interfere.

Yuan Xiaoyao was conflicted for a moment. On one side was Yuan Muye, who had been kind to her, and on the other was her mother's good friend. What should she choose?

After some hesitation, Yuan Xiaoyao finally chose Yuan Muye.

Li Moli really couldn't understand why Yuan Xiaoyao would choose Yuan Muye.

"Xiaoyao, Auntie won't force you, but can you tell Auntie why you chose Yuan Muye?"

Yuan Xiaoyao looked at Li Moli earnestly and said, "Auntie, I know that if I follow you, you will definitely protect me very well, but right now, I don't want to be a flower that is protected. In the future, I will also encounter very powerful people, so I want to improve my strength. Only by becoming stronger can I better protect myself and have a greater chance of finding my mother."

Faced with these words, Li Moli didn't know what to say for a moment. Yuan Xiaoyao had already said so much, could she still stop Yuan Xiaoyao?

"You can also improve your strength by following Auntie!" Li Moli still wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

Yuan Xiaoyao frowned slightly. "Yes, but Big Brother can help me improve faster."

Now, Li Moli was completely speechless.

Well, since Yuan Xiaoyao had already made a decision, she didn't want to waste her breath trying to persuade Yuan Xiaoyao.

Maybe all of this had been arranged in the dark.

"Alright, then Auntie won't force you. If that kid bullies you in the future, you must come to Auntie, and Auntie will stand up for you." Li Moli looked at Yuan Xiaoyao with a loving expression.

Yuan Xiaoyao nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked in a low voice, "Then Auntie, are you still going to attack Yun City tonight?"

Li Moli looked helpless, waved her hand, and said, "Forget it, but this doesn't mean things are over. Taking Yun City is only a matter of time."

Yuan Xiaoyao wasn't surprised by this. She knew that evil ghosts and humans were irreconcilable, and it was impossible for Li Moli to give up her intention to attack Yun City because of this.

Today, it was only because of her appearance.

However, being able to postpone the evil ghosts' attack on the city was already a great thing for them.

"Thank you, Auntie Moli."

Li Moli smiled at Yuan Xiaoyao, then looked at Yuan Muye. The smile on her face disappeared the moment her gaze landed on Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye was stunned. Li Moli suddenly looking at him must mean something was up.

Sure enough, the next second, Li Moli said, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Her tone had a hint of command, which made Yuan Muye a little unhappy.

However, Yuan Muye still endured the displeasure in his heart and followed her.

When they arrived at the side, Li Moli's first sentence was to tell Yuan Muye to treat Yuan Xiaoyao well.

"Even if you didn't say it, I would still do that." Yuan Muye said lightly.

Li Moli looked at Yuan Muye with some displeasure and said, "I originally didn't want to tell you about this, but after thinking about it, you're going to find out sooner or later anyway, so I might as well tell you now."

Yuan Muye looked at Li Moli with a curious expression. Ignoring the displeasure in Li Moli's eyes, he asked, "What is it?"

He probably guessed that this matter should be related to Yuan Xiaoyao.

"Although this is my first time interacting with Xiaoyao, I can see that this girl has a bit of a stubborn personality. She will definitely not give up on finding her mother. To be honest, I know where her mother went. The reason why I didn't tell her just now was because I was afraid that she would be too impulsive and go find her mother," Li Moli said with a somewhat helpless tone.

Sure enough!

Yuan Muye had guessed just now that Li Moli knew the whereabouts of Yuan Xiaoyao's mother.

However, it was right that Li Moli didn't say it. With Yuan Xiaoyao's current strength, she was not strong enough to stand on her own, let alone encounter powerful experts.

The place where Li Qiqi went must be very dangerous, otherwise Li Moli wouldn't have kept it a secret.

"You're telling me, aren't you afraid that I'll tell Xiaoyao?" Yuan Muye looked at Li Moli with some surprise.

"I know you won't. If you really care about Xiaoyao, you will definitely be like me and not want her to go to that place."

Li Moli said with her experience.

After some inquiries, Yuan Muye learned that the place was called Jile Ya (Extremity of Happiness).

The location of Jile Ya was very remote. The people who lived there were basically all cultivators.

And their cultivation levels were not low. Yuan Xiaoyao was unlikely to be their opponent.

Yuan Muye sighed and said, "Isn't Li Qiqi afraid of death?"

"Actually, sometimes I can't understand. That silly girl would give her life without hesitation for a stinky man who killed her whole family. What is she after?" Li Moli didn't understand Li Qiqi's feelings for that man.

Sometimes, she even felt that this wasn't love, but stupidity.

The most unreliable thing in the world is men.

Yuan Muye didn't comment on this. After all, he wasn't a party involved and couldn't empathize.

However, he could see that Li Qiqi and that man were truly in love, but it was not allowed by the Heavenly Dao.

What exactly is the Heavenly Dao?

"I will help Xiaoyao find her mother."

Yuan Muye only said this in the end, because he had promised Yuan Xiaoyao that even if that place was dangerous, he would go, but not now.

Before that, he needed to understand the information about that place.

"Hopefully!" Li Moli said with a sigh.

After saying a few more words, Yuan Muye left with Yuan Xiaoyao and the others.

As soon as they came out of the forest, Yuan Xiaoyao couldn't wait to ask, "Big Brother, what did Auntie Moli say to you?"

Yuan Muye had already expected that this little girl would ask him, and he replied seriously, "What else could she say? She told me not to bully you!"

"Is that really all? I saw you chatting for a long time. It shouldn't be just that, right?"
