Chapter 399 Chapter 399 The little fish didn’t understand at all
The little fish was still staring at him blankly.
Then he reacted and looked around.
"Daddy?"
His voice was very soft.
It was the tone of a cub instinctively calling for its parents after waking up.
After calling out, he didn't seem to expect any response, and sat blankly on the soft mattress again.
But Su Wu came in from the door.
This person really didn't care about royal etiquette. He strode over with some heat still coming out of his body, looking like he had just come out of a martial arts training ground.
"Hey, your dad is here, what's going on?"
Su Wu was originally handling official business, but in the end he became impatient. He was annoyed with these guys. They had to report trivial matters over and over again all day long, and they spoke in a roundabout way, which made people irritated.
Of course, this is the result of Su Wu asking them to correct it several times.
So he simply threw these unimportant memorials aside and ran to the martial arts training ground halfway.
As for the chronological order of the building ages, that's purely coincidental.
He just looked at the time and felt that the little fish was about to wake up.
The little guy actually hasn't reacted yet.
Until he was picked up and placed against Su Wu's warm chest, the cub's hands were hugging Su Wu's neck. Suddenly he glanced at Su Wu, his little voice a little surprised.
"Daddy."
Su Wu: ...
Never mind, he should be used to it by now.
"How's the situation?"
Su Wu held the little guy and sat on the bed, watching Lou Ling bow and stand up quickly.
"I've investigated," Lou Ling said after a moment of contemplation. "That evil spirit is quite powerful. It must be a monster we couldn't handle before, so we had to put it to sleep. Now that it's awakened, it can't wait to feast on flesh and blood. Your Majesty, I've brought them here with several witnesses. They're the family and neighbors of the missing child. That greedy creature is likely to come out again tonight, so it's best to deal with it as soon as possible."
Su Wu nodded.
"Have you found any other traces?"
"There aren't many traces, but it looks like a monster that's good at using the wind. It might even be able to blend into the wind, so it escaped very quickly. As for the child who was lost outside the city, and the child who was lost in Shangjing City this time—"
The young man shook his head.
"It's probably a bad omen."
For this kind of evil spirit, there is basically no hope for saving children once they fall into its hands. This kind of evil spirit will even abuse the living creatures before eating them to satisfy its own perverted psychology.
It just takes too long and it’s hard to find the relevant address.
"Oh, and there's also a Taoist priest from the folk who came with us."
Lou Ling continued.
"I saw that he had some abilities, and he was able to comfort the child's parents, so I asked him to come along."
Su Wu had a blank expression on his face—but after hearing everything that had happened, it seemed as if an invisible aura emanated from him.
He walked forward, holding the little fish in his arms.
"Go and have a look."
The few people brought back by Lou Ling underwent rigorous inspections.
Being placed in a small palace.
The name of Suwu Tyrant is also well-known among the people.
Most common people were very afraid of him.
But perhaps because their own child was lost this time, the parents were heartbroken and didn't care about anything else. The house was filled with a sad atmosphere and the parents were sobbing.
"That's right. Last night, I saw a black demonic wind! It blew so hard it blew the window open. I was wondering what was going on, but when I looked out, I saw a green-faced, fang-toothed creature wrapped in the wind. It ran away from the horizon before the adults from the Demon Suppression Bureau arrived. Not long after, we heard screams from the Liang family. When we went over to see, we found that the Liang family's daughter had been captured."
The neighbor kept talking to the other people present at the Demon Suppression Bureau.
The neighbor was a man who looked to be in his forties. He trembled as he spoke and rubbed his shoulders back and forth, still feeling a little scared.
After all, they were too close. If the evil spirit moved to another house, it might be their baby that was lost.
When I thought of this possibility, and learned that the emperor in the palace wanted to know the situation, I came without any hesitation.
Although their lives were still not very good under the rule of His Majesty, it was still much better than the previous days of fear and anxiety.
If there is any evil spirit, His Majesty will really deal with it.
"Your Majesty has arrived—"
The door was pushed open.
Su Wu walked in front.
He was still wearing casual clothes, with sharp eyebrows reaching his temples, looking very heroic. Even though he was wearing casual clothes, no one would think he was an ordinary person at first glance.
The room suddenly became tense, and the crying and sobbing sounds paused for a moment.
However, there was a hint of discord mixed in with that fierce aura.
The handsome young man who had been standing in the corner glanced covertly at the little fish in Su Wu's arms.
Li Ye was a little surprised. He found that his first meeting with the tyrant seemed a little different from what he had imagined - why was he holding a cub?
Su Wu waved his hand casually and sat directly on the main seat.
"What else is going on? Tell me in detail."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please, save my child, please—"
The heartbroken woman cried without caring about status.
The child's father's body was numb and he seemed to have fainted several times from crying.
The couple had a hard time having children, and that child was their only child. They pampered him in every way and raised him to be cute and beautiful. They saw their lives getting better and better, and their child grew up healthy.
I just didn't expect this to happen.
"If only I had listened to this Taoist priest yesterday—"
The child's parents sobbed.
Su Wu looked to the side.
Li Ye stepped forward at the right time.
"Your Majesty, I am Li Ye, a Taoist disciple of Qiankun Mountain who came down from the mountains to gain experience. Yesterday, I happened to arrive in Dasheng Shangjing and encountered this family. I noticed that their Children's Palace was dark and dilapidated, and their Ground Pavilion was shrouded in shadows, appearing to be sinking. This indicates that they are about to be harmed by evil spirits. I warned them yesterday and even sought out the guards guarding the city gates, but unfortunately, my warning seems to have no effect."
When Li Ye said this, although he kept calling everyone a commoner, he looked a little rebellious. Although he bowed respectfully to Su Wu, he was somewhat disdainful of Dasheng's precautions.
Su Wu supported his chin with one hand.
The parents quickly spoke again: "Nannan is carrying a talisman, she is carrying -"
amulet?
Li Ye explained again.
"Yesterday, after witnessing this scene, I left them a talisman. They need to wear it, and it will keep them safe for half a day. I thought that even if any unexpected situation arose, they would be able to handle it. However, it turned out to be a powerful evil spirit. We can't track it down, and the talisman can only stop it temporarily. I'm afraid that the child is now in great danger, unless they can get a little more luck, which I'm afraid is difficult. So I didn't explain it. I just hope that this evil spirit that harms the world can be eliminated as soon as possible."
"I see."
Su Wu roughly understood the situation.
"Let the Demon Suppression Bureau pay more attention to this."
Su Wu stood up holding the little guy. He didn't say much, but it was obvious that he was very interested in the evil spirit. Tonight, he wanted to go out and take a look himself and get rid of it.
After all, there are not many monsters and evil spirits that can still arouse Su Wu's interest.
But before that, he still needs to take care of the little guy in his arms.
The little fish cub lying in Su Wu's arms stared blankly ahead. There were too many random words, and the little fish cub didn't understand anything and didn't react at all. So, when the little fish cub tried hard to hear the words he understood, the following situation appeared in his mind:
Help...ah, help...Qiankun Mountain...ah, Qiankun...
The little fish cub's face was full of confusion.
Until I heard the word luck.
The little guy reacted slowly and looked around belatedly.
Seeing Su Wu was about to leave.
The child's parents didn't care about anything else and rushed forward to hug Su Wu's legs. "Your Majesty, please, please save her. She is still so young. I am willing to serve you like a slave. Your Majesty, I will pray for you day and night. May your Majesty be healthy. Your Majesty..."
They were blocked.
Su Wu didn't look at them.
After all, this is not something that can be promised just like that.
This world is a dangerous world, and some things are always so cruel.
Nothing can be completely prevented in this chaotic world. Even Su Wu himself would be swallowed up by these things without hesitation if he relaxed a little.
The little fish looked down at them.
Then he reached out and hugged Su Wu's neck, and his big eyes blinked.
The delicate and exquisite dumpling had a faint koi pattern between its eyebrows that lit up.
What did you just say?
Xiao Jinyu was confused and didn't understand at all.
at the same time.
Somewhere in a nest.
The monster with a green face and fangs was sucking the blood from the flesh and bones.
Its face was covered in blood.
In the corner of the nest.
A little girl who looked no more than seven or eight years old was holding a somewhat worn amulet tightly with a blank expression.
She had cried so much that she almost had no tears left.
The little body was shaking constantly.
"Dad... Mom... Dad... Mom... Save me... Save me..."
The amulet shattered bit by bit in her hands.
The evil spirit itself was weakened, and it was too lazy to break the power of the amulet. It blew the fragrant child to the corner with the wind and simply blocked the door, waiting for the amulet to lose its effect so that it could have a feast.
And the flesh and blood it had just eaten was a big bird.
It grabbed it out in an instant, broke it into pieces and swallowed it.
Such a bloody scene frightened the little girl.
The broken amulet made it impossible for her to cry.
However, at the moment when the amulet was completely shattered.
The demon stood up and prepared to approach.
The dry branches above the nest shook suddenly.
Without any external force, it broke and fell down with a snap, and with great luck it hit the evil spirit's forehead, causing the unsuspecting evil spirit to stagger.
Yaoxie: ...?
It glanced up suspiciously, looked around vigilantly, took another step forward, and heard a click.
Before it could react, its body suddenly shook, and it subconsciously flew into the air with the help of the wind. It looked down blankly -
The ground of the nest where it had just stood began to collapse.
Yaoxie: ...? ?
It was furious and raised its hand to pull, and the feathers of the big bird it had just eaten flew out. As luck would have it, a few of them flew into a flock of birds not far away, which seemed to arouse the anger of these birds.
They changed their flight direction and rushed forward in revenge.
Yaoxie:……???
