Chapter 2237: Chapter 2237: Nuonuo is Missing
“Nuonuo will fight the baddies, Mommy don’t be scared.”
“Good boy.”
An Jiuyue stroked the little baby’s cheek and tucked the Paper Person into her Qiankun Bag.
…
The little baby, well, was usually stuck either in his dad’s space or his mom’s space and had never really thought about what the outside world was like.
But ever since the little guy had been taken out, his heart started to yearn for freedom.
Wei Na couldn’t locate the Former Sovereign Emperor for now, and although the New Sovereign Emperor had dispatched people to search, there was still no news. With nothing much to do, Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue were resting in their room.
But the little baby couldn’t sit still and kept trying to sneak out.
As it happened, Leng Yikun and Yuu Rong were taking a stroll outside, so An Jiuyue handed the little baby over to them, letting the little bundle of joy enjoy the scenery of the Plant Plane.
Not even two hours later, as An Jiuyue was refining medicinal pills, she heard a commotion outside.
Yuu Rong hurriedly rushed in, his forehead slick with sweat and his face pale. In his haste, he stumbled as he entered the room and nearly planted his face on the ground.
“What’s going on? Why are you so flustered?”
Qian Jiyun caught him just in time, saving him from a painful fall, and asked.
“Big Brother, Sister-in-law, it’s bad—Nuonuo is missing!”
Yuu Rong was panicking. He and Leng Yikun hadn’t managed to keep an eye on the little baby, and now, the child was lost. Losing face was one thing, but losing the baby? How could he not be frantic?
“Missing? How did he go missing?”
An Jiuyue, hearing his words, didn’t seem overly worried. She packed away the medicinal pills from the pill-refining furnace before looking up to ask him.
Her precious son, though often cooped up in the space, was a sharp little one despite his tender age. His quick thinking usually came in handy at critical moments.
You could tell from how cleverly he outwitted his daddy every single day.
What ordinary not-even-two-year-old kid could manage such feats?
“I…”
Yuu Rong opened his mouth but was overwhelmed with shame.
“Both Yi Kun and I were watching over Little Nuonuo, but somehow… We were both holding his hands, and when we looked again, the child wasn’t Nuonuo.”
It baffled him. How could Nuonuo disappear?
He and Leng Yikun were absolutely certain they hadn’t let go of the little baby’s hands!
One on the left, the other on the right, they had leisurely strolled along the street with the little boy, glancing at stalls and explaining what the goods were for as they walked.
No matter how much they thought about it, they couldn’t figure out when Nuonuo had been swapped for someone else.
“Are you sure you never let go of Nuonuo’s hand?” Qian Jiyun asked him.
“I’m positive!”
Yuu Rong answered with utmost certainty.
If it were just himself, he might suspect that he had been too engrossed in looking at items and let go of the baby’s hand without realizing it.
But Leng Yikun was holding his other hand! There was no way both of them could misremember at the same time, right?
“Yi Kun and I never let go of Nuonuo’s hands, truly, Big Brother, Sister-in-law, I swear I’m not lying to you.” Right now, with the child missing, he wouldn’t dare tell a single lie.
Hearing this, An Jiuyue and Qian Jiyun exchanged a glance.
“Big Brother, Sister-in-law, you need to think of something quickly. Nuonuo…”
“Quiet.”
Yuu Rong’s anxious voice was cut off by a single word from An Jiuyue.
