Chapter 247: I’m Definitely Not the Offspring of That Ugly Prince
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In a hidden chamber, numerous iron cages were arranged. Each cage held a woman, some with minor wounds, while others bore severe injuries that were distressing to behold.
Their appearances varied, but one common trait was evident – their exceptional beauty.
Gu Xiaonan furrowed his brow. “Why are there so many girls locked up here?”
Upon hearing his voice, someone raised their head, seemingly surprised by the presence of a child.
Seeing Gu Xiaonan’s innocent expression, one woman with captivating fox-like eyes lazily inquired, “Little brat, where did you come from? Did Qitian Yu send you here?”
Approaching them with a small white fox in his arms, Gu Xiaonan’s big eyes sparkled with innocence. “Pretty sister, 1 sneaked in. Why are you all locked up here? Did you do something wrong?”
The woman in red raised an eyebrow. “Sneaked in? Are you a prince from the palace? Be careful, Qitian Yu might silence you!”
With a mischievous wink at the end, she spoke playfully.
However, her situation didn’t match her lighthearted tone.
Gu Xiaonan noticed her exposed skin, covered in shades of blue and purple.
“Hong Yao, spare some of your energy instead of teasing the child. Take a moment to rest,” a serene woman in elegant white attire nearby gently advised. Hong Yao pouted and made a somewhat provocative gesture, exuding a touch of allure as she did so.
“What’s the use of resting? It’s not like…” Perhaps mindful of Gu Xiaonan’s presence, she didn’t finish her sentence.
The white-clad woman turned her gaze to Gu Xiaonan. “Youngster, regardless of where you came from, I advise you to leave immediately.”
Many of those who entered this place probably had some connection to Qitian Yu. Despite the potential link to Qitian Yu, the woman in white carried a compassionate heart. Fearing that he might have accidentally ended up here and recognizing the peril his discovery by Qitian Yu could bring, she earnestly wished for his quick departure.
“Haha, Qingyu, you can hardly protect yourself, yet you’re concerned about others? Besides, who cares about this kid? He might just be Qitian Yu’s offspring. No need for your concern,” Hong Yao teased with a laugh and a smirk.
Perhaps touching an injury, she winced and let out a hiss.
“I’m not that ugly prince’s offspring! He captured me!” Gu Xiaonan retorted.
“Hehe, I’ve never heard anyone call Qitian Yu an ugly prince.” Hong Yao chuckled, her foxy eyes assessing Gu Xiaonan up and down before settling on his delicately carved face. “But compared to you, he really isn’t that impressive.”
“Why did Qitian Yu capture you?” Zhou Qingyu ignored Hong Yao’s banter and asked Gu Xiaonan with a furrowed brow.
“Could it be that women no longer satisfy him, and now he’s targeting children?” Hong Yao interjected, her words dripping with sarcasm as her slender, snowy-white fingers lightly traced her collarbone.
Gu Xiaonan didn’t understand the meaning behind the woman’s words. In a childlike voice, he answered, “The ugly prince took a liking to my mom, and when she beat him up, he captured me to threaten her.”
“Tsk, just like Qitian Yu’s style!” Hong Yao expressed disgust in her eyes.
A trace of disgust appeared in Hong Yao’s eyes.
Both Zhou Qingyu and the other women’s expressions darkened.
After all, these women were the ones forcibly abducted by Qitian Yu.
Looking at the appearance of this young boy, it was likely that his mother was quite beautiful.
However, was Qitian Yu now extending his reach even to married women?
“Since the ugly Prince imprisoned you all here, you must surely be good people.. I will rescue you from here!”
