    Chapter 83: Steady Loyal Dog x Double-Souled Genius 19

    The Yoerser Military Academy students and their leading teachers on the scene watched with grave expressions at the female mecha pilot who had died in her hometown before even stepping through the academy gates.

    They remembered her name: Zhu Yuan!

    She was supposed to be a student of Yoerser Military Academy, and would have become their senior/student.

    Qin Su tilted his head to look at Changli. So, the reason the little prince wanted to enter Yoerser Military Academy and become the strongest mecha pilot in the empire was because of this Senior Zhu Yuan.

    Zhou Xiuran had the same thought.

    After his son was rescued from Urdan Planet, he was in a daze every day, but suddenly became very interested in mecha manufacturing.

    So that was it; it was because of this Zhu Yuan.

    In the memory playback, Zhou Qingning, through the window, watched as the civilians who were sheltering him and his mother inside the building died one after another outside, their corpses reduced to nothing.

    The clear light in his eyes suddenly shattered, like white jade being smashed. His inner values completely collapsed, and the pain in his heart far exceeded the pain in his body.

    “No… how am I worthy of you protecting me with your lives!”

    “…Come back! Reinforcements will come, someone will definitely come to save you.”

    The death of all the guards, the deaths of innocent civilians, and the inevitable self-destruction before his eyes, cut into the heart of this seven-year-old prodigy.

    Jiang Yan wiped the tears from her son’s face. “Qingning, don’t cry. Your mother and they are all willing. You must be strong and move forward.”

    “If your father is lucky enough not to be dead, tell him that Jiang Yan does not regret marrying him. I have no chance to stay with him in this life, but I hope to continue our relationship in the next life.”

    Speaking of her husband, Jiang Yan smiled faintly.

    “Don’t tell him about your sister, lest he be sad about it. You also know that he has always been a crybaby.”

    Zhou Qingning used his remaining strength to grab her sleeve, and said in a hoarse voice, “No! It’s not worth it for just me!”

    “Mother, even if I die, I will be with you.”

    Jiang Yan patted Zhou Qingning’s head. “Don’t talk nonsense, child. Mother will find a way to let you live.”

    She put her son into the storage room for equipment, looked at the robot next to her that was covered with clothes, bent down and hugged it in her arms.

    “Qingning, live well.” Jiang Yan glanced back at her son trapped in the abandoned treatment pod and quickly ran out.

    The civilians who were hiding in the building covered Jiang Yan and the dummy in her arms as they quickly left.

    They attracted the pursuers, using themselves as targets.

    Lying in the abandoned treatment pod, Zhou Qingning tried hard to raise his wrist but it quickly fell back down. He opened his mouth and bit his left wrist, which was broken to pieces, and summoned some strength. His blood-stained fingers tightly gripped the wall.

    Streaks of blood were left on the snow-white wall.

    He tried his best to climb out of the treatment pod, and finally managed to sit up, but just in time to see Jiang Yan and the refugees being forced to self-detonate through the window.

    The robot in Jiang Yan’s arms activated its self-destruct function, killing Jiang Yan and the soldiers who had chased her, the fire soaring into the sky and illuminating the entire space.

    In a daze, he seemed to hear a few words.

    “…Jiang Yan and her son were forced to self-detonate. All the residents of Urdan Planet are dead.”

    “Everyone retreat, don’t stay here for long.”

    Zhou Qingning bit his wrist tightly, blood and tears streamed from the corners of his eyes, and the clear light in his eyes completely disappeared.

    Extreme hatred surfaced in his eyes.

    He hated many people, but even more, he blamed himself. The surging emotions instantly submerged him.

    His fingers lifted and then fell, blood flowing freely.

    But he was still struggling to get up, the broken bones shifting in his body.

    “…” Zhou Qingning’s lips moved. The shifting of the broken bones compressed his internal organs, causing him to spit out mouthfuls of blood as soon as he opened his mouth.

    It took him a long time to climb out of the treatment pod and lean against the wall covered in his own blood.

    “Born into the royal family, with extraordinary talent… so I’ll only become a target of attack.”

    “A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind.”

    He uttered a few words in a very low tone, the blood and tears from the corners of his eyes rolling down his cheeks.

    “Because of me alone, so much slaughter has been added. I’m not worthy of being a member of the royal family, and even implicated the people, the guards, my mother, and my unborn sister…”

    “Zhou Qingning, you’re living like a joke.”

    He slid down the wall to the ground, looking as if he had just been fished out of a pool of blood.

    It felt like a long time had passed, yet it seemed like a blink of an eye.

    Leaning against the corner of the wall, Zhou Qingning mechanically raised his head, his purple eyes moving sluggishly, looking at the sea of fire outside the window. Sharp pain came from his brain, the buzzing sound disturbing his vision a little.

    He slowly raised his wrist, his bloody teeth biting into the wrist covered with bite marks, then raised his finger to the position between his eyebrows.

    The memory ball of the past seven years was drawn out.

    He watched those memories with tears in his eyes, destroying them by hand as he browsed through them.

    Self-destructing his memories caused his soul to shatter.

    Half of his soul mistakenly entered Blue Star ten thousand years ago, becoming a small Taoist priest in the Republican era.

    Half of his soul remained in this body, but forgot all the memories of the past seven years, and couldn’t remember the people in those memories because of the self-destruction.

    Even if Zhou Xiuran and other old friends appeared in front of the original owner many times, he would quickly forget them. This was the sequelae left by Zhou Qingning’s amnesia.

    In the memory playback, the disheveled child completely fainted after destroying his memory, and at this time, a bright star in the starry sky became dim and dull, as if a pearl had been covered in dust and lost its luster.

    From then on, there was no more Imperial Little Prince Zhou Qingning in the world.

    That star born in the Hua’an Empire’s royal family was cruelly destroyed by a group of madmen.

    The crowd on the scene, after watching the memory playback, looked at the young man who had put away the memory playback with tears in their eyes. No change in expression could be seen on his face, only his cold eyes gradually turned from black to purple.

    Changli lightly blinked his eyes, the color of his eyes returning to purple. He slowly raised his snow-white slender fingers, the crimson flames at his fingertips coiling like crawling fire snakes towards Zhou Moran, who had killed countless innocent people.

    “You can also taste the taste of being burned by fire.”

    For people like Zhou Moran, whose hands were covered in blood, even if they died, they would have to go to the eighteenth level of hell to be tortured. Now, he would do it for them first.

    Speaking of which, the ghosts in hell would have to thank him for reducing their workload!

    Tsk, another day of doing good deeds.

    As for Zhou Moran’s entourage and personal guards, they were all arrested by the Second Prince’s subordinates. Wen Qi and Shen Tan, who had drawn their guns, stared at their opponents who had lost their master with undisguised killing intent in their eyes.

    “We’ll deal with you minions!”

    “Bang bang bang!” Gunshots rang out one after another, quickly drawing everyone’s attention back to the scene.

    Everyone present was dumbfounded: “!!!”

    At this time, Zhou Xiuran’s heart was very chaotic. The scene of his wife’s tragic death kept appearing in his mind, as well as their unborn daughter.

    If Urdan Planet had not been massacred, then his wife and daughter would not have died, and his son would not have lost all his memory and his strength would not have been greatly reduced.

    He suddenly looked at his son, who was no longer the same as before.

    This once sunny and bright child had undergone a drastic change in temperament because of that massacre.

    It was his fault that he didn’t get there in time!

    After he escaped the ambush, he went directly to Urdan Planet where his wife was, but he only saw a terrifying scene of no survivors and a vast fire.

    He searched the entire planet and found his son, who only had one breath left, in the storage room of that building. After rescuing his son, he found that the other party had forgotten everything and was always gnawing on his wrist.

    He thought his son had been traumatized or severely injured, but it turned out to be a habit left over from his consciousness.

    Thinking of this, he couldn’t control himself and cried, tears falling down his face, crying in his heart for his wife and children.

    Wuwuwu, it’s all because I’m useless!!!
