The moment the door closed, the scholar crawled on the ground in a hurry. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured. His ribs must have been broken. Every time he moved, he felt excruciating pain.

When Ping Ping An saw his mother being kidnapped by bad guys, he struggled anxiously and tried to save her.

Unfortunately, Long Xiao held them down with one hand each.

Long Xiao squatted down and gently comforted them: "Little ones, don't worry, that uncle is not a bad person. He just hasn't seen your mother for a long time. He has something important to confirm with your mother. Your mother will come out soon, don't worry."

Pingping calmed down first, stared at Long Xiao, and sobbed, "Is everything you said true?"

Long Xiao transformed into a mortal, looking quite easygoing. Now he had a sincere smile on his face. "Really, uncle never lies. You'll know in a moment."

During the long years of searching, Ming Yan had made some progress.

He had also learned to be smart. He had imagined in his mind a thousand times what he should do first and what he should do second when he saw Li Shushu again...

Li Shushu's martial arts skills are not weaker than his. If he doesn't seize the opportunity, she will inevitably escape again.

So, before setting off, he took out the Ten Thousand Years Magic Vine from the magic weapon library and carried it with him at all times.

The thousand-year-old magic vine is extremely tough and has the ability to quickly repair broken ends. No one can break free unless the owner wishes.

The first step was to tie her up, which he had already thought of in his mind and did very well.

The second step is to seal her mouth.

She was a very eloquent person, but he was often unprincipled in front of her. He was worried that if he softened his heart, he would not be able to be cruel to her and would be fooled by her sweet words.

The second step was also done very well.

What is the third step?

The third step should be to take back the magical weapon, the Time Cone, first.

The Time Cone was so precious, he wondered why she hadn't handed it over to the Heavens even though she had gotten it.

If it was handed over to the Heaven, Yangming should have lost his temper and headed to the Demon Realm to attack, right?

Since she hadn't given it to the heavens, he assumed she would keep it with her...

The door closed, Ming Yan looked around, trying to find a place to put Li Shushu down first. He didn't know why he had abducted her to this room. Maybe it was just a sudden impulse, and he didn't want to confront her in front of others.

But Li Shushu kept glaring angrily, kicking his legs and feet, and refused to cooperate at all, which made him even more confused.

There were no other decorations in the room except a step-out bed against the wall, a small dressing table by the window, a wardrobe, a small square table, and two small chairs.

There was not a single piece of clutter in the room, it must have been cleaned up in a hurry.

Unlike the step-out bed in the side hall of the Demon Realm, the bed here is very large and should be able to accommodate at least three or four people lying flat. The green gauze curtains and bedding made of fine brocade on the bed also show that this is probably not an ordinary guest room.

"So this is your bedroom now?"

He is indeed a person who knows how to enjoy life. The other things in the room are as simple as possible, but the bed is so luxurious. How come I didn’t notice it before?

Ming Yan threw Li Shushu onto the bed in a bad mood, then sat down at the small table and poured himself a glass of water.

After all the tossing and turning, he was exhausted and a little out of breath. He ignored Li Shushu's "whimpering" struggle on the bed. His eyes were attracted by a bundle on the small table.

He glanced at Li Shushu and opened the bundle without her consent.

Inside were some simple changes of clothes, mostly small clothes and pants for children, with a few small toys, and a few women's clothes, including a close-fitting bellyband and panties. They were obviously Li Shushu's, in her usual plain style, and also... her size.

Once upon a time, she wore these seemingly pure clothes, and every time she was beneath him, she blossomed beautifully...

Some fragmented images flashed through my mind, and I couldn't help but feel my body numb.

He scoffed, "Hmph, are you planning to escape again? You keep using the same tricks over and over again. Is that fun? If you have any questions, can't you just ask them in person?"

Obviously, this bag was prepared by Li Shushu in order to escape again.

A small dark box in the bundle stood out particularly.

Maybe it's a time cone?

But the time cone is not this long and thin shape.

He paused for a moment, but still picked it up without hesitation and opened it...

It was the hairpin with a broken end.

The gap in the hairpin, perhaps due to repeated rubbing, has become quite round, without any sharp spikes.

Something hit him hard in the heart, "Didn't you hand this thing over to Yangming? Why is he still keeping it?" He took the hairpin, shook it gently in his hand, and turned it in circles, as if he was playing with a thing that could not be more ordinary.

He walked towards her seemingly casually, his eyes becoming inexplicably complicated and his doubts growing even more intense.

No answer, Li Shushu didn’t answer.

It's not that she didn't want to answer, but she couldn't answer. Her mouth was sealed and she was mumbling, her eyes wide open and red as if she wanted to kill someone.

"Let me go, let me go, and I'll tell you!" she roared in her heart.

Ming Yan didn't understand why and just thought she was angry because she failed to escape.

Seeing her in such a state, he became even angrier.

"Still thinking of running away? You're still angry after failing to run? How dare you be angry?" He sat down on the edge of the bed, his big hand directly pinching her waist, and hugged her hard, face to face. "Look at me, shouldn't I be the one who is angry? Do you know how long I've been looking for you? We've searched through more than 1,800 Qingyun towns one by one..."
