Chapter 2239: Chapter 2239: Give My Child Back to Me
…
On the bustling street, Leng Yikun was still searching for the little baby.
He was well aware that both he and Yuu Rong had been set up by someone. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have lost Nuonuo without noticing anything.
Especially since, after losing Nuonuo, there was a replacement child holding their hand. Isn’t this the literal “burying silver before revealing the truth”?
So, starting from the place where he realized Nuonuo had gone missing, he retraced the paths they’d walked. Sure enough, at one particular spot, he detected a familiar scent.
“It’s actually the Illusionary Pill!”
They had fallen victim to the Illusionary Pill, which caused them to unconsciously let go of Nuonuo’s hand and then unknowingly hold another child’s hand in her place.
Such a sinister tactic! To abduct a single child, they resorted to using an Illusionary Pill—a substance that, once inhaled by most cultivators, would result in idiocy for nine out of ten of them.
He lowered his head and looked at the child he was still holding in his grasp.
This child was the one those people used to replace Little Nuonuo. Although he felt pity, he did not sympathize.
The parents of this child willingly handed him over to do such a thing. They should have anticipated the consequences. Even if the child ends up brainless, they’ll simply have to bear it.
“Let go of me! Let me go!”
The young boy was confused and tried to struggle free from Leng Yikun’s grip.
But Leng Yikun wasn’t going to give him the chance. One Palm Strike rendered the little boy unconscious, sparing him some trouble and allowing him to continue searching for Little Nuonuo.
Even though deep down, he knew finding her would be impossible, he had to try. What if… just what if he succeeded?
His icy eyes swept over a shadowy corner where a couple stood hesitating, torn between approaching and retreating. Their gazes lingered on the child in Yikun’s hand, full of sorrow and reluctance—making Leng Yikun sneer coldly.
If they had known what their child would be involved in, they shouldn’t now feel regret.
Even if they were reluctant, he wouldn’t show mercy by returning the boy to them. If wrongdoing is committed, punishment follows—child or not.
With the child dangling from one hand, he strode toward the couple.
The husband and wife saw Leng Yikun approaching and their worry twisted into fear. Unconsciously, they retreated several steps, staring at Yikun in terror.
“You… What are you going to do?”
“What am I going to do?”
Leng Yikun almost laughed out loud upon hearing the man’s question.
Wasn’t this the question he should be asking them? What were they planning to do, scheming against his Little Nuonuo this way?
“Oh, yes, I absolutely ought to do something. Why don’t you tell me—should I mince this child in my hand into meat paste to feed the demonic beasts, or have him drawn and quartered before burning him alive so not even his bones remain?”
“No! Please don’t!”
The child’s mother gasped upon hearing Leng Yikun’s chilling words, her face draining of color as she cried out in desperation.
“I beg you to show mercy and give the child back to me. He’s just a child; he doesn’t understand anything.”
Leng Yikun: “…”
What nonsense was she spouting now?
He’s just a child and doesn’t understand anything? If he didn’t understand anything, how could he obediently follow two strangers for such a long distance without crying or fussing?
Not understanding anything, yet when caught, still casting them innocent yet cunning glances? Is that what she calls “not knowing”?
This was clearly intentional! They assumed the two adults wouldn’t stoop to confronting a two-year-old child over anything, so they confidently used him for their vile schemes, thinking there’d be no serious consequences!
“I really ought to show mercy—by sending you all straight to hell!”
