"You're right. It's a miracle that these idiots, who act as robbers and plunder, have survived this long without starving to death."
A burly bandit leader, seeing his underling about to make love, angrily grabbed a tuft of hair and lifted him up.
"You...two...are...idiots! Look, look closely, these...two little brats haven't even grown all their teeth yet, do you think they can understand your babbling nonsense?" The bandit leader started to feel short of breath after just stammering out these words, completely losing his imposing aura.
Seeing that the two little children remained calm despite being repeatedly threatened, the subordinates exchanged bewildered glances and then burst into smiles.
Witnessing this extremely embarrassing scene, the bandit leader immediately erupted in rage, rolled up his sleeves, and stammered, "What...are you...dazed? Attack...attack! Attack them!"
At a command, the bandits targeted the two young boys, one in black and one in white, and pounced on them like vicious dogs. The two sides clashed instantly, like a chaotic dance of demons, and the fierce battle produced a series of loud explosions.
Xiao Hua Mancheng moved swiftly, using her signature move, the Lotus Shadowless Kick, kicking one person away. Her small shadow moved freely through the crowd, and the bandits who rushed towards her were all turned into bruised and battered fools after being kicked away.
At this moment, Xiao Mu Beichen was like someone who had been given a cheat code. He was both good at fighting and resilient. His little fists swung around with a loud thud. Whenever someone rushed up, he would immediately strike them down. Before long, a man would fall to the ground, grimacing and groaning.
Mu Beichen stood ramrod straight, his black clothes fluttering in the breeze, looking down at the people with a cool and dashing air: "Now tell me, whose does this mountain and this tree belong to?"
Immediately afterwards, the bandits knelt down and begged for mercy: "Oh, my little ancestor, this mountain, this big tree, even the withered branches and rotten leaves all over the ground are yours, everything is yours!"
Hua Mancheng: "..."
Therefore, they became famous overnight, known as the "Speedy Legs and Dog-Beating Monster" duo, and were all the rage on this mountain.
From then on, the two became sworn brothers, bound by a deep bond of brotherhood and loyalty.
Mu Beichen would sneak out of the palace every few days, almost always to meet Hua Mancheng.
On this sunny day, the weather was perfect. In this sweltering summer, it was even hotter than usual. Instead of staying at home, Mu Beichen was taken around the world by Hua Mancheng to enjoy the sights and sounds.
After running around all day, as dusk fell, the two brothers each lay down in a lush, leafy spot, chatting and laughing heartily.
Before me, the forest is serene and quiet, a gentle breeze caresses my face, and the scenery of lakes and mountains is picturesque.
Hua Mancheng reclined on the treetop, resting his chin on his hands as he looked at Mu Beichen, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I see you're quite capable, aren't you? Why didn't you show off in front of that old emperor when you had such a good opportunity last time?"
Mu Beichen turned his gaze slightly and said in a low voice without expression, "Practicing martial arts is for strengthening the body and making oneself stronger, not for showing off. My father doesn't like me, not because he can't see my strengths, but because he doesn't want to see them from the bottom of his heart. So, even if everyone sees my good points, he still won't give me a second glance. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
