Goodbye, Uncle.

Qin Jin'an waved to Sun Wu and the other two.

Sun Wu and the other two lowered their heads in shame, feeling as if their heads weighed a ton.

"host……"

The people surrounding Xue Hai asked him what he meant: were they really not going to make a move?

Xue Hai gave him a single glance, and it was indeed true.

Seeing Qin Jin'an walk to his side, Xue Hai took her little hand and smiled gently, saying, "Good girl, from now on you will be the little princess of Qi. I am the fifth in line, you can call me Fifth Brother."

Xue Hai didn't care at all about revealing his identity.

Su Chang'an said that if he wanted to get everything, he had to get her willing blessings.

What can make someone do something willingly? It's their true heart.

He would treat her like a younger sister, and when she grew up, he would choose a husband for her from among the fine men of Qi, so that she could stay in Qi forever.

This little one is so healthy now, and she's living a smooth and successful life as a mother, which proves that she is a lucky star who protects the house.

If she were kept in the Qi Dynasty's palace, wouldn't the Qi Dynasty's fortunes soar?

If a good-for-nothing like Su Chang'an hadn't been blessed by a lucky star in his early years, he would have been nothing more than a farmer toiling in the fields for the rest of his life, and the most incompetent one at that, unable to even carry two loads on his shoulders, and might have starved to death while farming.

If even someone like that could be protected and made into a marquis, then the Qi Dynasty must have countless talented and extraordinary people, true men who are both literate and martial. With a bit of luck, they would surely be able to unify the world!

Xue Hai held Qin Jin'an's hand, walking with an air of nonchalance.

The tiger stood still and shook its head, its golden eyes following Qin Jin'an's figure closely.

"Huffing and puffing—"

Fish Baby, are you really going with them? Don't be afraid, I can bite several of them to death.

It's a tiger, not a big cat, so how could it be afraid of two-legged creatures?

Qin Jin'an spoke to the tiger with his mind: "Brother Tiger, don't worry, they can't take me away. Be good, I don't want to see you get hurt. Brother Tiger, live a long and healthy life."

Her presence would draw the attention of all intelligent animals in the animal kingdom, who would like and be drawn to her.

They were all her friends, and precisely because they were her friends, she didn't want them to get hurt for her sake.

Besides, she's protected by the 'God of Misfortune,' and if she doesn't want to, these people can't take her away.

Hearing the sweet voice in his mind, the tiger followed after it.

The barbarian leader named Xue Hai is gone, and the awe-inspiring tiger is gone too.

Sun Wu and his two companions felt as if it were all a dream.

"Can you still hold on?"

Li Hu looked at the two of them with concern and asked.

Sun Wu and Zhao Long nodded.

“We received two thousand taels of silver notes, which saves our family and allows us to use some of the money to help other villagers.”

Sun Wu said to Li Hu that they were saved, but the little deity who had risked his life to save them was still in danger.

“We need to get down the mountain and into the city quickly. The little fairy’s family is still looking for her. I’m going to turn myself in so they can catch up with her as soon as possible.”

Li Hu's eyes were resolute. This decision had been churning in his mind for a long time. He didn't know if Sun Wu and Zhao Long would agree, so he kept saying that he was going to turn himself in.

He will take everything upon himself.

Sun Wu and Zhao Long were so badly injured that they could no longer be subjected to any further punishment.

"That's exactly what I was thinking. She's willing to risk her own life to save my family. She's still just a child. Let's hurry down the mountain. The family in the village is waiting for someone to rescue them too."

Sun Tzu sighed. Only by doing this could he alleviate the guilt in his heart.

Zhao Long nodded: "Let's go."

"Brothers, I'll go. I'm entrusting my wife and children to you."

Li Hu's expression was resolute; he took everything upon himself.

Sun Wu and Zhao Long frowned in disagreement, but Li Huquan walked even faster.

"Li Hu, this was done by the three of us together, you can't do this."

Sun Wu endured the pain and quickened his pace, with Zhao Long following behind, but they were both injured and could not catch up with Li Hu.

"Brothers, this is a capital offense. What will happen to our families if we all get involved? The two thousand that the little immortal managed to secure for us also needs you to take the lead in doing practical work. If I want to come back alive, I would like to ask you two brothers to give me a welcome-back feast."

Li Hu quickly descended the mountain without looking back.

Sun Wu and Zhao Long couldn't catch up either, and soon they could no longer see Li Hu's figure.

"Should we really let him take on all the responsibility?"

Zhao Long was undecided, feeling guilty but also thinking that Li Hu made sense.

“He’s worried that with our injuries, we might not survive any more torture. He means well. Even if we were to behead someone, it wouldn’t be so quick. Let’s recover first, settle everything, and then go join him.”

Sun Wu understood Li Hu's good intentions.

Zhao Long thought for a moment and nodded.

They looked into the woods, but there were no traces of anyone there.

...

When Bai Dian Dian was brought into the city, the search began immediately.

Knowing its task was important, it dared not be careless at all and sniffed carefully.

The city is a chaotic place, and it's not easy to find a particular scent among the millions of smells.

As darkness fell, Qin's heart sank to the bottom.

"Waaah—"

White Dot felt very guilty. It had been searching in the city for a long time, and its nose was even a little dry and cracked.

But they still couldn't find the little owner.

"Sweetie, I know you tried your best."

Qin patted Baidiandian's head tenderly, comforting the dog who was blaming himself.

Who took her precious baby away, and where did he/she go?

Qin Tianhai sighed.

"Dad, do you think he might know something?"

Qin looked at Qin Tianhai with suspicion in her eyes.

If we were to name the most suspicious person, it would definitely be Su Chang'an.

How could my precious baby possibly go with him willingly?

Qin Tianhai also considered that possibility, then shook his head: "He doesn't have that ability."

Not to mention that the child could not possibly go with him, if he were to take action, the prefect would surely find out nothing.

The Qian family's daughter had no motive.

Qin Tianhai and Qin Shi walked towards the government office. Not long after they entered, someone announced that someone had turned themselves in, saying that they had kidnapped Qin Jin'an.

Qin Tianhai and Qin Shi immediately stood up and ran quickly to the main hall.

Xiao Yuebai is interrogating.

"Li Hu, you said you kidnapped Qin Jin'an all by yourself. Tell me in detail."

Xiao Yuebai spoke seriously, and no matter how he looked at it, Li Hu didn't seem like the kind of person who could kidnap Qin Jin'an.

But having a clue is better than not having one at all.

Li Hu lowered his head and recounted in detail how he had been threatened and kidnapped by the alien race.

Qin Shi and Qin Tianhai listened quietly.

Bai Diandian had already run to Li Hu's side, sniffed him, and then barked twice at Qin Tianhai and Qin Shi: "Woof woof woof—"

He smelled like his little master.

Unfortunately, neither Qin Tianhai nor the Qin family could understand what Bai Diandian was trying to say.

"Your Honor, what I said is true. You must hurry out of the city and chase after them. Maybe you can still save the little immortal."

Fearing they wouldn't believe him, Li Hu kowtowed several times to Xiao Yuebai.
