Grabbing Talina's little paw that was taking advantage of her thigh, Talullah held her in her hand.
"Oh~ Did you change it specially? Then I'm going to feel it carefully~"
With a wicked grin on her lips, Talina threw herself on Tallulah, crawled into her skirt and rolled around.
The two were playing and laughing in the living room, which made Chen feel a little uncomfortable.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, Chen looked at himself in the mirror, feeling a little dazed.
Tallulah, her sister, reappeared after disappearing more than ten years ago. This should have been a good thing, but Chen couldn't find her place in it.
Taking the photo he brought from his hometown, Chen placed it in front of himself and looked at his mother's appearance in the photo.
No smile, no emotion, just sitting there blankly, like a puppet without any life, allowing others to manipulate him.
My younger self was standing beside her, happily yet confusedly preparing to take a family photo.
In her perception, it was a happy family day, but she only missed another person, her sister, the one who had always stood in front of her.
The man deceived Chen by saying that she had left first because of something and would come back later to take more photos. Later, Chen found out that Tallulah was locked up alone in a small house.
There was no distress, no shouting, she just sat alone on the bench. When she saw Chen appear, she even smiled and hugged her in her arms.
Chen didn't know why she could laugh...
Later, the man left the house, as if he had completed a mission, and left without looking back, leaving them alone here.
His mother didn't like him, and his biological father left without a word, which was a huge blow to the young Chen.
Fortunately, Tallulah was with her, so she was not left alone. Later, Koschei invaded Longmen and abducted Tallulah, and the two of them were separated.
To some extent, it's not too much to say that Tallulah played the role of a mother in her childhood. Chen couldn't give up Tallulah no matter what, but...
Talina suddenly broke into his life again, and she held her firmly with her meticulous care and protective behavior in front of Wei Yanwu. At that time, Chen stubbornly thought that he had found someone he could entrust his life to.
But now Tallulah suddenly appeared, making Chen a little at a loss.
Fight with Tallulah? She knew she couldn't bring herself to do that.
Coco was a little reluctant to give up. If possible, she would rather not know Talina, so that at least she could treat her with a normal attitude.
You can also send blessings from the heart.
Picking up the photo, Chen looked at the woman in it with a gloomy look in his eyes. The sounds of laughter and playfulness coming from outside from time to time made it impossible for Chen to concentrate.
Oh...really...I'm in trouble too...
Volume 5: Chapter 129: Wei Yanwu's Invitation
After being sad for a while in his little room, Chen finally composed himself and walked out.
Tallulah was a little happy to see Chen come out, and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him, chatting about random things.
Of course, this is basically what life has been like for the past ten years. After all, Chen and she have been separated for too long, so even if she wants to find a topic, she has to take it slowly.
In this way, the two chatted intermittently, with Talina occasionally interjecting a few words, and time passed unknowingly.
After staying at Chen's house for three consecutive nights and absorbing enough of Talina's energy, Talulah prepared to say goodbye to the two of them.
Although she was a little reluctant, Chernobyl still needed her to take charge of the situation and was waiting for her, the backbone, to return.
Of course, Talulah was mainly worried that Froststar would "retaliate" after knowing her affairs, so she didn't dare to stay for long.
It was a bit unfair for Frost Star to eat alone, but Tallulah chose to keep silent and refused to say anything.
Although it’s a bit unethical, it’s really delicious when eaten alone!!!
Tallulah's departure made Chen feel relieved, giving her some opportunities to think independently.
Looking at Talina who was reluctant to leave, Chen felt a little blocked in his heart.
.........
Returning along the same route, Tallulah chose a time when no one was around.
The moonlight was dim and shone through the clouds, casting a shadow on the road to Longmen, making it appear pitch black from a distance.
Occasionally, you will see one or two street vendors pushing carts on their way home to rest after get off work, which makes the street more lively.
Tallulah walked down the street with a brisk pace, obviously in a good mood.
Suddenly a breeze blew from the street, picking up the peppers on the ground. After making a momentary sound, it disappeared, as if it were just an ordinary thing.
But Tallulah changed her brisk pace, stopped where she was, touched the hilt of the sword with her right hand, and looked around.
"Come out..."
After looking around in vain, Tallulah had no choice but to speak out.
She didn't know when she was being followed, but it was a good thing that she discovered it in time. If she couldn't fight, she could just fight and escape violently.
Anyway, she is also a wanted criminal in Ursus, so it’s no big deal to be wanted by Dayan again. It might even increase her value.
Call ~
Another breeze blew across her face, and the situation was almost the same as before. Three strange figures wearing conical hats and straw raincoats appeared in front of Tallulah, surrounding her in a triangle.
"I've been following you for so long... I wonder what you guys are planning to do? If you're robbing me, I don't have any valuables on me..."
Although she didn't listen with her mouth, her eyes were also looking at these three strange characters. Tallulah restrained her energy and looked for a way to escape.
She could feel the dangerous aura of these three people. It was obviously unwise to fight them, but if she really wanted to leave, these three people could not stop her.
This is the skill I developed in exile in Ursus!
The three men surrounded Tallulah, stood with their hands behind their backs, and looked at her without saying a word. When Tallulah became a little annoyed, the man standing in front of her slowly spoke.
"Miss, Duke Wei invites you..."
Putting down her weapon, Tallulah looked at the three people in front of her.
Of course she knew who the so-called Duke of Wei was. In the entire Longmen City, there was only one person who could be called Duke of Wei.
so...
"Are you Wei Yanwu's private soldiers?"
Looking at the three people with great interest, Tallulah suddenly spoke.
The aura exuded by these three people was no less than that of the inner guards she had met in Ursus, but compared to the inner guards, these people were a little less weird.
Of course, if we add them together, the pressure these people put on themselves is not as great as that of the internal security guards. After all, they do not have a "country" to support them.
In response to Tallulah's question, the few people did not respond, but just looked at her quietly.
After saying that, Tallulah didn't want to cause any more trouble. She folded her arms across her chest and stood there looking at the others: "Then please lead the way..."
Hearing Tallulah's agreement, the three of them immediately took action, spreading out one by one and standing in front of Tallulah to lead the way.
Following the three people, Tallulah's thoughts drifted far away.
Wei Yanwu, in terms of seniority, is her uncle. Of course, Tallulah does not admit this. At most, he is just a familiar stranger.
Now that I have arrived at the other party's territory, I have to meet my "uncle" more or less.
It's fine that I didn't notice it before because I was too busy indulging in the gentleness of the land, but now that they have sent someone to invite me, it's a bit unreasonable to continue to play dumb...
The three of them turned left and right in the alleys and brought Tallulah to the depths of the slums, in front of a small restaurant.
The decor of the hotel is old and looks like it is stuck in the past and has not changed in decades.
There was a man sitting in the store, an old man wearing a black and red sweater and an oil-stained apron. He looked like the owner of the store.
The three people around her had already left, and without anyone to guide her, Tallulah had no choice but to step forward and said, "Old man..."
Tallulah interrupted the old man who was watching TV and stood aside.
"Oh? Are you here? Come on in first, the food will be here soon."
Being interrupted, the old man raised his head and looked at Tallulah with his cloudy and dim eyes, then pointed to a small private room not far away.
Tallulah nodded, thanked him, and walked to the door.
Reaching out and grasping the greasy handle, Talu opened the door and walked in. A puff of smoke and a strong smell of tobacco filled the air.
There was a round table in the room, and opposite it sat an ancestor who had reverted to his ancestors. He had a pipe in his mouth with ferocious fangs and was smoking it. It was the ruler of Longmen - Wei Yanwu!
"Huh...long time no see...should I call you Tallulah or Kosice now?"
Taking the pipe from his mouth, Wei Yanwu turned it upside down in the ashtray, and shook off the soot inside with trembling fingers.
Closing the door behind her, Talulah walked in and sat across from Wei Yanwu. "Does my name matter? No matter what I say, you won't believe it, right?"
Sitting upright in her seat, Tallulah looked straight at Wei Yanwu, without a hint of concession in her eyes.
She hadn't done anything sinister yet, so why was she afraid of Wei Yanwu? She could wait until the trouble came to her, and then she could feel guilty.
"Yes, it seems you know me well..."
Wei Yanwu grinned, revealing a mouth full of fangs, and looked at Tallulah's face, his eyes blurred.
She just sat there, motionless. In a trance, Wei Yanwu vaguely heard the sound of "brother"...
"Then I... shall we call you Tallulah... According to her, you've remained sane, haven't you?"
Turning his gaze away, Wei Yanwu's eyes flashed with nostalgia.
His niece... looked so much like them... that he was so confused that he mistook her for his sister...
And Edward.
"Come on, you went to all that trouble to have your private soldiers come to me, but you can't just say a few words, right?"
Not caring about Wei Yanwu's words, Tallulah frowned and looked at the elder with a hint of impatience in her eyes.
She had heard a lot of fallacies and heresies from Kosice since she was a child, including Wei Yanwu's. Although she scoffed at these things, some of the news was still firmly remembered in her mind.
Her father died at the hands of her uncle!
How could she be nice to Wei Yanwu?
"Nothing, I just asked you to come over and see me, just to... take a look..."
A smile appeared on Wei Yanwu's dignified face. He picked up his pipe, refilled it with tobacco, and said to himself, "I usually can't smoke much at home because I'm under control. It's rare for me to go out..."
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave."
Not wanting to bother with Wei Yanwu, Talula stood up and prepared to leave.
Instead of spending time chatting with Wei Yanwu here, she might as well leave Longmen and return to Chernobyl as soon as possible.
Just as Tallulah reached the door, Wei Yanwu's voice rang in her ears again.
"Please stay a little longer. I have something to discuss with you..."
"Let's discuss...Kosice's matter."
Volume 5: Chapter 130: What the People Want
"Why? Do you miss her?"
Tallulah was startled when she suddenly heard Kosice's name.
You should know that Jundao Kosi was stabbed to death in his own mansion several years ago. This incident was reported as a typical example and was reported in newspapers and on TV, making a lot of noise.
On the surface, Kosice is already dead, and there is no suspicion that his other body, Kashena, has been exposed to the public. So why did Wei Yanwu suddenly bring it up?
Or does this old guy think of himself as Kosice in his heart?
Thinking of this, Tallulah got a headache.
How can she prove herself? This is a very troublesome question.
Before Tallulah could reply, Wei Yanwu said something to cheer her up.
"That guy isn't dead, is he?"
With his ferocious fangs exposed, even when Wei Yanwu smiled, he looked angry to outsiders, and his eyes were extremely cold as he was ready to devour anyone.
"So what? Are you going to run to Ursus and kill her?"
Returning to her seat, Tallulah did not directly answer Wei Yanwu's question, but she did not deny it either.
But in Wei Yanwu's eyes, Tallulah had confirmed her guess indirectly.
"An old man who refuses to die is a thief. This fellow has lived long enough. Her life is a burden to everyone."
With a sigh of relief, Wei Yanwu nodded: "When we snatched Longmen from her, this guy must have been very unwilling to give up, otherwise all the things that happened later wouldn't have happened."
