Chapter 23 The Kitten is Gone

  This morning, the forest was shrouded in a layer of low pressure. Everyone was subconsciously tiptoeing and speaking softly, fearing that something might not be done well and ignite this volatile atmosphere at any moment.

  Chang Zhe finished his breakfast nervously and immediately pulled his sister to find Shixiong. Regarding the unusual atmosphere today, he was confused and saw Nie Donghai standing in the courtyard with an icy aura as if contemplating the Tao. Chang Zhe's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked: "Shixiong, what's going on today?"

  Nie Dongguo glanced at Chang Zhe and his eyes stopped for a moment on the woman behind him, before saying: "The pill is gone!"

  Dumpling?

  Chang Zhe Zheng was puzzled, and suddenly felt a chill rising from behind. He quickly turned his head to look back, only to see a young girl in a bright red dress walking towards him with an air of lightness, followed by the dark background that had been spreading out behind her.

  "Haha, haha, little Tang Xin, good morning, haha." Chang Zhe said with a dry smile, his heart wanting to cry but having no tears. What's wrong with this little ancestor now? No need to think, just looking at Tang Xin's gloomy expression is enough to know that the strange atmosphere comes from her. As for Tang Xin's influence, Chang Zhe had long been used to it.

  Tang Xin stared at Chang Zhe with a expressionless face, until Chang Zhe's whole body was stiff and sweating profusely, before he said in a low voice: "Have you seen my Wan Zi?"

  Chang Zhe immediately shook his head: "No, no." He was afraid that if he hesitated for a second, the dark background behind Tang Xin would swallow him up.

  Chang Zhe's body subtly shifted to block the view, and he looked up at Tang Xin's watery peach blossom eyes. He rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, "I haven't seen Chu Chu either, she's been with me all along."

  Nie Dong: "...return to Shu Mountain and get married." This is really too ridiculous, they haven't even gotten married yet but are already living together, have all the rules of propriety been abandoned?

  Chang Zhe: "......" What is Shixiong saying? Why can't he understand?

  Chu Chu: "......" Her face was perplexed, completely unaware that one of the people Nie Dongge was talking about was her.

  Tang Xin's eyes swept across the faces of several people, a hint of worry on her face, and she said in a low voice: "Who took away my pill..."

  Chang Zhe saw the child's appearance and felt a bit distressed. Just as he was about to comfort him, he was suddenly choked off by Tang Xin's gloomy tone from behind.

  "The person who took away my marbles will be caught and disassembled into pieces like a lantern."

  Chang Zhe: "......" After silently lighting a large candle for the unknown person, he suddenly asked, "What if your kitten just left on its own?"

  Tang Xin's mouth curled up, and the smile on his face was tinged with a hint of bitterness. The few people who saw it couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. Then, a low, mournful voice rose up, casting a chill over the entire courtyard. It made those who had just felt sympathetic want to claw out their own eyeballs - how could they have thought that child was heartbroken? Their eyes must have been blinded by shit.

  "My leg is broken, I'm buried alive."

  The lovely childlike voice brought a light and innocent tone that made Chang Zhe's heart skip a beat. Suddenly, a phrase he had unintentionally heard before popped into his mind.

  Children are the most innocent and also the cruelest!

  "Now, get out of the way." Tang Xin's tone was tinged with impatience, and when she was in a bad mood, everyone looked like foolish commoners to her. She had an air of superiority, as if standing alone on a pedestal.

  Chang Zhe hastily pulled Wen Chuchu aside, "Don't provoke the violent and arrogant Wang Zhonger, or he might just destroy the world in his tantrum."

  Seeing a few people with eyes that didn't anger herself, Tang Xin coldly snorted and left with her head held high. Back in the room, she silently entangled herself over why the little kitten would leave such an excellent master like her. Hadn't she been good to the little kitten? She did everything personally and spoiled it so much.

  Tang Xinsi thought and thought, but only came up with one answer: that idiot has no taste, living in blessings without knowing the blessings!

  Atop the desolate mountain, a young man stood with his hands clasped behind him, wearing a magnificent black brocade robe. The cuffs and collar were embroidered with silver patterns, and he wore a jade belt around his waist. His demeanor was extraordinary. The mountain wind blew against his robes, making them flutter loudly, exuding an unapproachable nobility amidst the bleakness.

  The young man's jet-black long hair was casually tied back with a purple jade pin, adding to his overall air of untamed laziness. His face, as white as jade, was exceptionally handsome, and his dark cat-like eyes held an unfathomable mystery that seemed to have a mesmerizing power, making people willing to drown in them. But at first glance, he also had a few parts that were lovable.

  His thin lips slightly curved, and his careless appearance made him look elegant. However, his eyes were fixed on the nearby Senjian Ridge, and his beautiful eyebrows were lightly furrowed, making the young man seem like a refined gentleman from a noble family in Jiangnan, with a subtle melancholy and quiet sorrow as if facing spring flowers and autumn moon.

  Behind him, a young man in a green robe was dazzled by this beautiful painting and couldn't help but say: "Master, if you really can't bear to leave, stay for another two days. We're not in a hurry to rush along."

  Who would have thought that this sentence would suddenly make the young man's ears turn red, and he would instantly become violent like a firework: "Who can't bear to part with her? A ghost can't bear to part with that nasty girl! If I had the chance, I would definitely torture her mercilessly, humph!"

  The young man twitched the corner of his mouth and secretly gave the boy a white eye: "Master, I didn't say you couldn't bear to part with someone."

  The young man was furious: "Shen Fei, go back and lock yourself in the outhouse for three days and three nights. If you dare to sneak out, I'll have someone beat you into a pig's head."

  Shen Fei's body stiffened, why couldn't he get rid of this habit of being too talkative? The master's joke was really unbearable. It was rare to see this clever and cunning young man have such a childish side, it was worth it. However, whether he chose to be locked in the thatched cottage or beaten into a pig head, this was indeed a difficult problem.

  "Have those killers been dealt with?" The cold voice carried a few degrees of chill, the young man's eyes were deep and dark like a calm black sea, no one could explore the undercurrents at the bottom of the sea, and suddenly burst out, engulfing all the people trapped inside, leaving no bones behind.

  It's like a cold pool, constantly emitting a chilling atmosphere, making all who intend to approach it tremble with fear.

  Shen Fei: "...... Everything has been taken care of, please don't worry, Master." But what if the Master suddenly gets a severe illness? Should I ask Ye Gu, that guy's medical skills seem to be pretty good.

  A glint of chill flashed in Shen Fei's eyes: "I didn't expect that woman to have some skills, actually able to command the Water Mist Sect within Qin Country."

  The young man's face was filled with sarcasm: "Human nature is greedy. With the price tag that woman gave, those people would naturally take action."

  The root of all evil is greed!
