Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 169: The Golden Bird Also Missing

"The golden bird that talks a lot that you mentioned? So her name is Goldfinch?" Phantom asked without answering, and no emotion could be seen on the surface, because he was born with an icy face and grew up in the snow-capped mountains, so even his temperament was cold.

Meng Zhiling nodded, her expression very unhappy. "Did you think she was too noisy and wanted to kill her and eat her?"

That dangerous tone means that if you dare to nod, she will eat you up immediately.

"Do you think it's possible? Am I so hungry that I would eat anything?" Phantom said lightly, and then continued to use his own tools to trim his long and beautiful nails.

The implication is that even if he was hungry, he would not eat the goldfinch.

"Goldfinch, Goldfinch, where are you?" Meng Zhiling only wanted to find the Goldfinch at this moment, and then she and the bird would sit on the lawn, looking at the sky quietly, and bicker with her as usual, and perhaps she would feel much better.

"Don't shout. She's gone. She's been gone since the day before yesterday. She left without saying anything. The day before she left, she seemed distraught. I don't know what happened to her. The next day, I woke up and searched the entire valley and every corner, but I couldn't find her. Until now, there's no trace of her."

Phantom felt that this was the first time he had spoken so many words continuously. Perhaps, seeing Meng Zhiling's worried look, he unconsciously felt that he should do something, even if it was just a simple thing to explain what he knew.

"Gone? What does that mean?" Meng Zhiling looked at the phantom and still didn't believe what he said.

The baby-voiced voice of the goldfinch seemed to ring in her ears, as if she heard the goldfinch say that she would never go out even if she was beaten to death, and as if she saw the goldfinch right in front of her. But with just one stretch of her hand, everything became a bubble.

"If she's missing, she's gone. We can't find her here. What's the point?" Phantom turned his head coolly. He knew that someone as loyal and righteous as Meng Zhiling must be very worried about Jinque's safety and must want to find her urgently.

But the fact is that no one knows where the goldfinch is, and no one knows why the goldfinch left.

It turned out that she had already known a way to get out, but she had not told him even though he had been begging her to do so.

"Why didn't you stop her? Why did you let her go out, that fool? What serious matter could make her run away without caring about her own safety? Didn't she say that she would never go out in her life? Doesn't she want to escape for the rest of her life?" Meng Zhiling looked at the phantom, as if blaming it, but also as if talking to herself.

Phantom originally wanted to explain why he didn't stop her, because she disappeared quietly and the place was so big that no one would notice the whereabouts of a little bird. But when he turned around and saw Meng Zhiling's worried look, he instantly felt that there was no need to explain.

"She'll be fine. She's so lively. Maybe she fell asleep somewhere after eating, or maybe she wanted to go out and see the world because she was playful. There are many possibilities. Don't think of the worst. She'll be fine." Phantom was not very good at comforting people. He thought and organized his words for a long time before he could say these words fluently.

"Yes, it will be fine." Meng Zhiling finally closed her eyes and lay back. She didn't want to think too much. Maybe the golden que was really just the possibility that the phantom said, or maybe she didn't want to escape anymore. She wanted to go out into the world and look for the person she should have met a long time ago.

"If you are in a hurry, you can go out first. The exit is in the cave on the west side. Just turn the chair that looks very broken and you can go to the outside world. Of course, you can also choose to stay and go out with me later." Meng Zhiling said lazily, and then she ignored his existence and continued in silence, not caring whether he chose to leave first or wait for her.

Sure enough, Phantom did not choose to leave first, but chose to stay silently beside Meng Zhiling, quietly looking at her young face. If it were not for someone who was familiar with her, it would be impossible to connect this face with the perverted killer from before.

But fate is so strange. Her rebirth just happened to find a good excuse for his freedom. He himself didn't know why he said that. It was as if when he walked out of the sect and the snow-capped mountains, he felt in his heart that it had a great relationship with Meng Zhiling and the agreement he had with her. Perhaps he just lacked that small reason.

Perhaps what I have been pursuing deep down from the beginning was not the most noble chair on the snow-capped mountains, but the unrestrained and free wandering around the world.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Meng Zhiling didn't know how much time had passed. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the phantom standing motionless beside her. She was a little surprised, but it was also within her expectations. She smiled slightly, which was considered a friendly gesture towards him.

"I'll be waiting for you." Phantom raised his eyebrows and answered as a matter of course.

"When I let you go just now, I meant to set you free, but since you chose to stay, you must obey me in the future and abide by our previous agreement." Meng Zhiling raised her eyebrows. No matter what, she was the winner in that bet.

Phantom also grinned and shrugged indifferently. He and she were both people who valued friendship and loyalty. Even if Meng Zhiling didn't remind him, he would remember the agreement, not to mention that she had saved him many times.

"Well, I see that your body has almost recovered. I want you to infiltrate my old acquaintance, my old employer, the American supernatural organization. You must find a way to gain Meng Fan's trust. Of course, this is not an easy job. You can refuse. At worst, I will just work hard for a few more years." Meng Zhiling retreated to advance. In fact, she was not sure whether Phantom would agree. It was just a psychological warfare. After all, she knew nothing about him except his abilities.

"I promise you." Phantom agreed without saying anything or even putting forward any conditions.

In fact, this did not surprise Meng Zhiling very much. After all, he had said that he would obey her orders from now on.

The two came out of the space together, but as soon as they came out, Phantom went to the United States and began his "undercover" career.

When she came out, it was already night again. Meng Zhiling looked at Ming Yi sitting in Mingzhu's room. Although she still felt a little uncomfortable, she was moved by his intention to make amends. However, if Mingzhu didn't feel well one day, she probably wouldn't be able to completely forgive him.

"Why haven't you slept yet? I'll be guarding here." Ming Yi sensed that there was another person in the room and immediately became alert. After seeing that it was Meng Zhiling, he immediately removed the defense system.

"Go to sleep. You've been guarding us all day." Meng Zhiling said lightly, without even looking at him.

"No need. It's almost dawn." Ming Yi refused directly because he wanted to hide and accompany Mingzhu. Even if she was asleep and unconscious, he wanted to see her face more. He was very unprincipled this afternoon. Under Mingzhu's constant persuasion, he actually agreed to her crazy request.

He knew that Mingzhu would not be able to stay with him for much longer, so he was very selfish and just wanted to monopolize all the remaining time with Mingzhu.

He didn't even want to share with Meng Zhiling.

"Okay, then it's up to you." Meng Zhiling's tone was still lukewarm, which made people feel uneasy.

But at this moment, Ming Yi's entire attention was on Ming Zhu and what was going to happen next, so he had no time to care about this little awkwardness.

"Zhiling, what if, I mean what if, your mother knew about her own condition, and she was unwilling to accept your treatment and unwilling to wait?" The room was silent for a long time. Finally, Ming Yi hesitated again and again, and asked carefully and tentatively.

Meng Zhiling finally turned her head and looked at Ming Yi seriously, her brows furrowed. She just looked at him seriously without saying anything.

"Ming Yi, does my mother really know? Did she tell you anything?" Meng Zhiling narrowed her eyes slightly, her words sounding more like a question than an inquiry.

"No, there's nothing she could say to me. She just saw how nervous each of you was, so she thought too much and asked me a few questions." Ming Yi lit a cigarette, then looked at Mingzhu on the bed, and finally put it out with his fingers. He repeated this action at least a dozen or twenty times.

"Then did you tell her?" Meng Zhiling's eyes were red, and she looked like if Ming Yi dared to nod even slightly, she would go up and kill him.

But Ming Yi gave her a satisfactory answer, "How could I possibly tell her? You haven't answered my previous hypothesis yet."

Ming Yi has been obsessed with the question just now. Even he couldn't bear to see that the mother and daughter had been together for less than a week, but were facing "eternal separation". It was really fate.

"I won't answer any hypothetical, non-technical questions, and you don't need to ask anymore. If she really wants to leave, then tell her that in this life, I will pretend that I have never met her." Meng Zhiling said coldly, then turned and left.

As smart as Meng Zhiling is, how could she not guess Ming Yi's intention? Moreover, she doesn't think that Ming Zhu's leaving would be truly great. It's just for her own good. What she wants is for the relatives she cares about to live with her forever. That's what is good.

She doesn't want anyone to think that they are good to her unilaterally!

After walking out of the room and returning to his room, he burst into tears. His body slowly slid down along the closed door and he sat down on the ground powerlessly.

She was sure that Ming Yi was not making an assumption just now, but was testing her, trying to figure out her attitude, and the one who had such intention must be Mingzhu.

"If you really dare to leave without permission, I will hate you for the rest of my life. I believe that your daughter Meng Zhiling will never forgive you even in her grave." Meng Zhiling said in her heart, feeling a pang of pain in her heart. She used to think that her mechanical life was too boring and too unexciting, but now, she lives the life of an ordinary person, with relatives, friends and a lover. She originally thought it would be a happy thing, but there are more problems, which are more complicated and harder to solve.
