Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
These nine villains were the troublemakers!
Feng Yuanxi smirked, his sharp gaze filled with an icy determination. “Let’s catch these nine troublemakers first, then deal with the rest.”
As twin brothers, they shared an unspoken understanding.
Meanwhile, Bo He, standing nearby, looked puzzled. The two brothers had already figured out how to deal with the problem.
Feng Yuanxi played his flute once more, and the snakes and insects that were previously confused without the melody resumed their calculated assaults on the people.
However, this time, they didn’t charge at everyone but rather focused on those nine individuals.
“Hmm?”
Gradually, others began to realize that the bugs and rodents nearby had decreased in number, except in a few specific areas where their presence had increased significantly. This unexpected change made them instinctively halt their attacks.
At this moment, nine people found themselves tightly surrounded by the creatures.
“Quick! Hurry and kill them!”
They twisted and turned, trying to shake off the creatures clinging to them, shouting for help from others.
Right as everyone was getting ready to help them, Gu Xiaonan suddenly showed up at the entrance, cradling a small fox in his arms, looking adorable as can be.
Seeing that nobody had noticed him, Gu Xiaonan wrinkled his small nose. Under the influence of his arcane power, his childish voice was audible to everyone.
“Do you want to meet my mother?”
Everyone’s spirits lifted, and they immediately looked toward the source of the voice.
Seeing the boy who resembled a little celestial being before them, a look of astonishment flashed in their eyes.
After a good while, someone’s mind finally cleared.
“Your mother? Are you that illegitimate child of Gu Qingluan?” someone questioned, speaking rather brashly.
Gu Xiaonan furrowed his brows, disliking the way they referred to him. He retorted with annoyance, “I’m not an illegitimate child! 1 have a daddy!”
The person who asked tauntingly continued, “Oh! Not an illegitimate child? Then who’s your father?”
“My father is…” Gu Xiaonan was about to answer when he suddenly thought better of it. He held back and stared at the person with big, defiant eyes, asking indignantly, “Why do you care who my father is? What are you doing causing such a commotion outside our mansion?”
“Why else? Your mother killed Duke Dingbei, angered the Dingbei Army, and they’re on the verge of rebellion because the Emperor is shielding her. She’s hiding to avoid trouble!”
Gu Xiaonan wrinkled his small nose and replied, “My mother didn’t hide; she’s busy!”
“This woman is disgusting. She’s afraid to come out herself, so she sends her son? Is she throwing her son into the lion’s den?”
“Do you think we won’t harm a child? Ha! Everyone, stop waiting. Let’s catch this kid first and use him to force Gu Qingluan to show up!”
The crowd rushed forward to capture Gu Xiaonan.
Bang!
A barrier blocked them.
The person who had charged forward was thrown back, causing a pileup.
Gu Xiaonan stood inside the barrier, his black and bright eyes looking coldly at the chaotic scene of people falling over each other. He calmly uttered two words, “Foolish fools!”
Hearing his words, everyone was infuriated.
“You brat, just wait until I rip your mouth apart!”
“Being foolish and not even realizing it makes you more than a fool.” Gu Xiaonan continued his taunts.
They glared at him angrily. If it weren’t for the barrier, they would have already rushed in to give him a beating.
Someone couldn’t hold back and retorted, “You brat! Don’t get too smug! Do you think you can hide inside forever?”
“Wait until we break this barrier, then you’ll see!”
Gu Xiaonan stuck out his tongue at them, his lips moving rapidly, spewing a stream of insults without the need for conscious thought.
All sorts of insulting words flowed effortlessly from between his thin, pale pink lips without any thought.
Upon hearing him cursing, Xiao Mei couldn’t help but leave Bo He’s shoulder and fly out to join in the swearing.
Originally, they were quite upset about his insults, but when they noticed even a little creature like Xiao Mei joining in, it infuriated them even more. They engaged in a heated exchange of curses.
As their argument continued, the nine troublemakers became ensnared by vibrant snakes and encircled by swarms of insects and rodents descending from above the crowd.
Before anyone could grasp the situation, five of the troublemakers had already had bugs enter their mouths.
Witnessing this, everyone was left in shock and promptly began attacking the insects and snakes.
“All!”
The bugs that had originally covered the troublemakers’ mouths flew out, accompanied by pitiful cries.
Although their attacks were mainly aimed at the insects and serpents, they inadvertently struck the remaining four troublemakers.
Seeing the situation, the crowd had no choice but to stop.
Ultimately, they could do nothing but watch as these individuals were carried into the barrier by a swarm of flying insects..
