Chapter 196: The Little Bun Is Caught
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The streets were bustling with activities. Perhaps the commoners had heard that the Crown Prince of Nanyue had been captured so they felt more at ease.
The little bun was very energetic now that they had come out. He ran around and looked at the various stalls. Almost everyone in Xinan knew him. As such, when he approached, the vendors would give him many things. In just a short moment, his hands and his mouth were full with candied hawthorns, candied fruits, osmanthus cakes, and the like.
After all, the people of Xinan really liked the Little Master of the King of Xinan’s Residence who was obedient and intelligent.
The little bun was considerate. He took the initiative to pay for the things. After all, his mother had taught him not to take advantage of people and embarrass the King of Xinan’s Residence.
In just a moment, the little bun had run far away from Luo Xiuran and Qian Qing, leaving the duo behind.
“Little Master,” Qian Qing called out worriedly as she chased after the little bun. She was always worried that an accident would happen after they left the King of Xinan’s Residence.
Upon hearing Qian Qing, the little bun turned around and waved as he said calmly, “Aunt Qian Qing, don’t worry! I can protect myself.”
As the little bun spoke, he did not forget to wink at Luo Xiuran meaningfully.
Luo Xiuran naturally understood the little bun’s meaning. He quickly walked
over to Qian Qing’s side and cleared his throat before he said, “Qian Qing, I think this hairpin looks very good. Do you want to try it?”
Luo Xiuran brought a hairpin out as she spoke.
The little bun covered his face and watched through the gaps between his fingers.
‘Didn’t they say that Uncle Xiuran is a playboy? Shouldn’t he be very good at coaxing girls? From the looks of it, his ability is really not very good…’
The little bun could no longer endure it. He walked to Luo Xiuran’s side and pinched Luo Xiuran’s hand before he whispered, “Just help Aunt Qian Qing put it on. What are you hesitating for?”
‘He should act like a domineering young marquis. Act first, and explain later!’
“Aunt Qian Qing, that uncle said that the fruits are very sweet. I can’t bear to eat them all. Here, have some,” the little bun said, handing the fruits to Qian Qing.
“Okay, thank you,” Qian Qing said gently. Now that the little bun was by her side, the worried expression on her face also disappeared.
Seeing this, Luo Xiuran seemed to understand something.
‘As it turns out, Qian Qing likes this kind of man… I mean, young man..
The little bun felt that he had helped enough so he silently ran to the side.
Although the distance between them was not very wide, he could not hear Qian Qing and Luo Xiuran due to how noisy it was. Suddenly, he saw a small bird fall to the ground nearby. It looked like it was injured. His face scrunched up, worried that the bird would be trampled to death. Without another thought, he quickly ran over. When he was almost there, the bird suddenly flew up. However, it flapped its wings a few times and quickly fell to the ground again, looking as though it was in great pain.
The little bun became even more anxious when he saw this. He continued to chase after the bird. Every time he was about to catch up, the bird would fly again.
“Is it afraid of me?” the little bun muttered to himself with a frown on his face.
Finally, when he chased the bird to an alley, he thought he would be able to catch the bird. Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly appeared between him and the bird. He looked up hesitantly and saw a woman standing in front of him. Moreover, he could tell that the woman’s gaze was very unfriendly. His heart sank immediately. When he looked down, he saw the other party was holding the little bird from before. The blood on the little bird’s body was dry, looking as though it had died quite a while ago.
The little bun reacted quickly. He said angrily, “You deliberately used the little bird to lure me here!”
After saying that, the little bun turned around, wanting to escape. However, the woman’s martial arts were very good. With just a light leap, she quickly blocked his path.
She sneered and said contemptuously, “You think you can escape?”
The little bun panicked. He knew that he was no match for the woman at all. He hurriedly scattered the poison powder in the satchel that his mother gave him. It was usually useful when he encountered danger. Alas. this time. the D0ison did not seem to affect the woman at all.
Seeing that the little bun was about to run out of the poison powder, the woman sneered again. “This is the poison your mother gave you? Is that it? It seems like I’ve overestimated her for nothing.”
Her words clearly revealed her contempt for Yu Yunxi.
When the little bun heard this, he was so angry that his face turned red. He gnashed his teeth and asked angrily, “Who are you? Are you trying to capture me to threaten my mother?”
“You’re quite smart,” the woman said calmly. At the same time, she scattered some medicinal powder from her sleeve.
The little bun sensed danger and quickly covered his mouth and nose, but he was still a step too late. In just a moment, he coughed a few times and felt dizzy. Before he fainted, he asked indignantly, ‘Who are you?”
At this time… “Who are you?”
“Who is it?”
Luo Xiuran and Qian Qing arrived just as the woman was about to take the little bun away.
“Let go of Little Master,” Qian Qing said furiously.
Gao Shixuan stopped in her tracks. She slowly turned around, revealing her pale face to Luo Xiuran and Qian Qing.
“Gao Shixuan?!” Luo Xiuran exclaimed in surprise when he saw Gao Shixuan. Due to his good relationship with Feng Yili, he visited Feng Yili in the sect frequently in the past. As such, he knew what Gao Shixuan looked like.
‘Gao Shixuan?’
Qian Qing’s expression turned even colder when she heard Luo Xiuran’s words. She naturally knew the other party’s identity. She said gloomily, “General Gao of Nanyue, right? You’re now in Xinan. I advise you not to do anything foolish.”
Luo Xiuran also tried to persuade Gao Shixuan anxiously. “Although I don’t know why you’re helping Nanyue, you need to calm down. This little fellow is innocent, can you give him to me?”
As he spoke, he walked toward Gao Shixuan. He knew that she had a short temper in the past. Moreover, who knew what was going on right now? It would be very dangerous for the little bun if she took the little bun away.
However, before Luo Xiuran could get close, Gao Shixuan brought a dagger out and pressed it against the little bun’s face. She said frostily, “Luo Xiuran, I’m very calm now. If you want to save this bast*rd, ask Eldest Senior Brother to come and see me. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee his safety!”
‘Bast*rd?’
Qian Qing’s eyes widened in anger when she heard that word. She clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves as her eyes flashed with killing intent. If it were not for the fact that the little bun was in Gao Shixuan’s hands, she would not waste time with Gao Shixuan now.
“Gao Shixuan, you’ve been missing for so many years. Everyone misses you very much. Let’s talk about this. If you want to see your Eldest Senior Brother, I’ll arrange it for you.. But Junjin, he…”
