Chapter 2240: Chapter 2240: Where Did This Little Fool Come From?
He wasted no words on this couple. With a swift strike of his long sword, he ended their lives in just one move.
If they dared to engage in such acts, they should have known what fate awaited them.
Almost at the same time he finished them off, three guards came over from a short distance away. Without saying a word, two of them dragged the two corpses away.
“Young Master Leng, do you have any other orders?”
Another guard approached Leng Yikun and asked.
This was an honored guest of their New Sovereign Emperor, and they knew well that his child had gone missing. If they had no clue who was responsible for this, they would truly be fools.
They were trusted agents of the New Sovereign Emperor, specifically assigned to serve at the discretion of esteemed guests.
“Throw this child into the filthiest beggars’ den!”
Leng Yikun cast a glance at the neatly dressed, chubby-faced child before tossing him to the guards. His little baby had gone missing, and while he didn’t intend to kill this child, he wouldn’t let him off easily either.
“As for how to handle it, your Monarch Emperor should already understand.”
“Understood, Young Master Leng. I will report this to His Majesty.” The guard responded with a bow, then picked up the child and left.
The guard didn’t think the child was pitiful. As the saying goes, “Those who appear pitiable must have their own despicable reasons.” This child, calm to the point of chilling when doing wicked things, clearly wasn’t new to such acts.
After addressing matters concerning the child, Leng Yikun stayed at the same spot, waiting for An Jiuyue and the others. He was certain Yuu Rong would bring them over.
As for the couple, he was well aware they would have no critical information. That was why he had killed them without hesitation.
He didn’t have to wait long before he saw Yuu Rong escorting An Jiuyue and Qian Jiyun over, and he quickly stepped forward to relay all that had transpired.
…
In a secluded courtyard, inside a dimly lit room, Little Nuonuo blinked his large, bewildered eyes as he gazed at the shadowy figure not far away. His tiny hands fumbled around inside his Qiankun Bag, eventually pulling out a small snack which he popped into his mouth.
“Tsk!”
The Former Sovereign Emperor clicked his tongue lightly upon seeing the undisturbed little baby.
“Where did this little fool come from? Was there a mix-up here?”
A child barely two years old, abducted to a foreign place, yet acting unfazed, focused only on rummaging through his pouch—how could this be normal?
Could this child actually be a simpleton?
“It’s not possible that we made a mistake, Your Majesty. We snatched him from the hands of the two followers of the High Priest Demon Heart.” Upon hearing the Former Sovereign Emperor’s disdain, a subordinate quickly defended themselves.
They had even used the Illusionary Pill to capture the child, expending significant effort in the process.
“Your Majesty, perhaps the child is just naturally bold. The subordinates heard rumors outside that the child himself addressed the High Priest Demon Heart as ‘mother.’ This child is indeed the offspring of the High Priest Demon Heart, without question.”
“So this is truly the High Priest Demon Heart’s child?”
The Former Sovereign Emperor still harbored doubt that this seemingly foolish and unperturbed child could be the offspring of the High Priest Demon Heart.
Could it really be that, because he was born the High Priest Demon Heart’s son, he had an exceptionally fearless nature that kept him from crying or fussing? Was such a possibility even plausible? Even as the son of the High Priest Demon Heart, he was still less than two years old, wasn’t he?
“Boy, is your mother the High Priest Demon Heart?” He moved closer to Little Nuonuo, squatting down to ask.
