Chapter 2966 Tossed Far Away
Once it had escaped, its primary desire was not to be assimilated by Big Brother too hastily. It yearned to recapture the hundreds of years that it had spent sealed away. It was determined to find someone to accompany it and play for a few days—a simple wish.
Qiao Mu lifted the child, lightly flicking his little forehead. "Alright, Qiuqiu never said he would absorb you right away. You can play as much as you want, but remember, no more abducting people in the future."
"If you want to play with them, make an effort to befriend them! Don't resort to bandit-like methods to kidnap them!"
The chubby child nodded his small head, not entirely comprehending.
"Where's my Lian?" the little one asked nonchalantly, maintaining a stoic demeanor.
The chubby boy hesitantly intertwined his fingers. "He… he's not friendly. He nearly attacked me!"
Had this man not stopped abruptly, it might have been injured and unable to maintain the boundary in front of it.
Qiao Mu and the chubby child exchanged glances. "So?"
"I, I threw him out earlier!" Fragment Four quickly explained. "I tossed him out of my boundary! Threw him, threw him far away!"
Sending him far away seemed like the best option. At least he wouldn't be able to locate it so easily.
The child now had some inkling as to why that formidable man had stopped abruptly and refrained from destroying the boundary. He realized that the man must have suddenly remembered their shared lineage with Big Brother, and harming him would hurt his Big Brother, ultimately affecting his Little Miss.
That terrifying man had spared him because of Little Miss!
Qiao Mu was tempted to give the child a scolding, but she clenched her teeth and refrained.
Meanwhile, the sapling Qiuqiu paid little attention to the situation and took action immediately. It extended a vine, delivering a swift smack to the chubby child's buttocks. Snorting, it admonished, "You're not entirely clueless! You figured it out yourself. The Great Crown Prince spared you because of Master!"
"Otherwise, with your small stature, do you truly think you could withstand three moves from him?"
"Now, quickly follow me back to Paradise Planet. Spare Master from more of your antics! She's already bending over backward to clean up this mess for you. You're causing her unnecessary worry. After hundreds of years, you haven't grown any wiser. Why are you so foolish?" The sapling switched into nagging mode and reached out a branch to grab Fragment Four, pulling him back to Paradise Planet.
Another branch extended and, catching the little monk off guard, wrapped around his waist, silencing his mumbling about walking on his own.
Qiao Mu massaged her throbbing temple and glanced at the bear cubs lying on the ground. With a wave of her hand, she left the boundary, accompanied by the group of children, and returned to the alley.
She flicked a stone from her fingertip, causing it to hit the wall with a loud noise. Then, with a slight sound, she vanished.
Soon, a crowd of students from the Imperial Academy rushed into the alley.
Leading the way was Commandery Princess Wu Huanxiu, who spotted over ten unconscious children in the alley and gasped in surprise. "Children! Come take a look! Do these children belong to any of you?"
Her exclamation was like lighting a beacon, instantly drawing the attention of the citizens.
Meanwhile, the little stoic had already distanced herself, following the sapling's guidance as she pursued Mo Lian's aura. As she emerged from behind the alley, she collided with a rugged-looking woman.
