Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Xiaonan ran through the forest while carrying Xiao Bai in his arms.
The mystical beasts in the area saw him and quickly made way.
However, there was always one presence that remained locked onto him.
Furrowing his brows, Gu Xiaonan muttered,
This leech never gives up.
Thanks to the protective charm his mother gave him, he managed to fend off their mental attacks; otherwise, he would have already succumbed.
But the charm was not permanent and could only withstand a few more attacks.
He felt the presence drawing closer and closer.
“Stop right there, you brat!” A stern voice echoed from behind.
Simultaneously, a tremendous pressure descended upon him, like a mountain pressing down.
Gu Xiaonan’s legs gave way, and he fell to the ground.
“Squeak!”
Xiao Bai, trapped beneath him, let out a pained cry.
A pair of feet descended from above, landing before Gu Xiaonan and Xiaobai.
“Kid, there’s nowhere else for you to run!” Ah Cheng looked down at him from a high vantage point, his gaze as cold as ice.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaonan opened his mouth and started wailing loudly, “Ahhhh! You bully! You big bully! Bullying a little child like me! Mother! Daddy!
Someone is bullying your precious son! Come and save Xiaonan!”
His cries were filled with genuine grief and despair.
Ah Cheng was taken aback by the sudden and intense cries, causing his strong body to shudder, and he forgot what he was supposed to do.
In all his years, he never bullied a child before, and seeing the young boy cry so miserably left him feeling somewhat bewildered.
Gu Xiaonan, stealing a sidelong glance at his expression, knew he had a chance. So, he cried even more intensely, as if he had lost his parents.
Not only did he cry, but he also rolled on the ground like a ball, kicking his legs wildly.
“Daddy! Mother! Xiaonan is so scared! Ahhhh! Will Xiaonan never see you again?” He rolled over to All Cheng’s side, swatting his leg with his hand and kicking it with his feet.
“Big bully! Bullying a little child isn’t something to be proud of! If you’re so tough, go and fight my daddy, fight my mother!”
Xiao Bai chimed in with squeaks and snarls, brandishing its sharp claws.
That’s right! Bullying a little child isn’t something to be proud of! You big bully!
Although All Cheng felt that he was bullying the weak just because he was stronger, he was a servant, and he had to follow his mistress’ orders, even if they were improper, he had to obey.
Veins bulging on his forehead, he angrily scolded, “Shut up!”
Gu Xiaonan’s crying paused for a moment, then he felt even more wronged, “Wall wah wah, you’re scolding me! You’re still scolding me! I’m so miserable!” He quickly slapped him with both hands.
Ah Cheng’s face turned gloomy as he bent down to grab his hand. “Kid, shut up, or 1’11 shut your mouth!”
Gu Xiaonan suddenly slapped his hand on the back, propped himself up with both hands, and rolled backward.
Xiao Bai pounced and took a bite.
Ah Cheng made a grunting noise, tried to shake it off with determination. He took a step toward Gu Xiaonan intending to grab him, but then his legs unexpectedly went numb, causing his towering figure to lurch forward uncontrollably.
He activated his arcane power, feeling a sharp pain in his dantian.
Ah Cheng’s expression finally changed. “You poisoned me!”
Gu Xiaonan jumped up from the ground, a few steps away from him, “Hmph, 1 did poison you, what can you do to me! Big villain! Not only did I poison you, but I also want to beat you!”
With that, he waved his hand, and a surge of arcane power hit the man’s chest. A bloodstain appeared instantly.
Ah Cheng endured the pain, clenched his teeth, and remained silent, but his brows involuntarily knitted tightly.
Gu Xiaonan glared at him. “Do you know you were wrong?”
Ah Cheng pursed his lips and remained silent.
Gu Xiaonan snorted lightly. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know! When your young lady get scolded by her mother, you’ll know you were wrong.”
When Ah Cheng heard the word “young lady,” his emotions became very agitated, and he stared at Gu Xiaonan fiercely. “Don’t hurt the First Lady!”
The other party had already fallen into his hands, and Gu Xiaonan was not afraid of him.
He picked up Xiaobai and stroked his round little chin, “Xiao Bai, how can we drag him down the mountain?”
“Squeak?”
Should we find a strong beast to help?
Gu Xiaonan shook his head, saying, “No, only Yuanxi can command them.”
“Squeak, squeak?”
“Just now? It’s different. I merely intimidated those snakes, making them hesitate to approach, but I can’t control them.”
“Squeak?”
Young master, what should we do then?
“Never mind, let’s take turns dragging him ourselves!” Gu Xiaonan scratched his face and sighed in resignation.
Xiao Bai let out a sigh too.
“Alright, let’s gather our spirits! If Mother and Daddy find out we’re missing, they’ll be very worried.. Let’s hurry back and not disrupt their wedding!”
