In the quiet hotel room, Qiqi lay peacefully on the bed.
Outside the window, a muffled, deafening clap of thunder could be heard every now and then.
Every time thunder rumbled, the little girl on the bed would spring up as if she had been electrocuted.
His expression was contorted in pain, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
It was as if the thunder wasn't just roaring behind the clouds, but actually striking her.
After another clap of thunder, the little girl didn't cough up blood like before, staining her clothes red. Her face turned deathly pale, almost like gold paper. Huo Yusen, who was guarding the bedside, could no longer hold back.
"Come out!" The words were spoken to the empty room.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of black mist drifted out from Huo Yusen's chest.
It hovered in mid-air for a moment, then solidified into a skull.
The skull's mouth opened and closed. "What, worried?"
Huo Yusen's face was as gloomy as the darkening sky outside the window. "What's wrong with her?"
"Forcibly crossing time and space to merge two souls that should not be merging is against the will of Heaven and will naturally be punished."
The Demon Chieftain sneered dismissively, his skull circling Qi Qi twice with amusement. "It's the same old trick of the Heavenly Dao. He always likes to teach disobedient people a lesson to show off his authority."
"But this little girl is really tough. She was struck by lightning so badly, yet she can still endure it!"
"Save her." Huo Yusen stared straight at the chieftain, his obsidian-black eyes filled with unwavering determination.
The chieftain was amused by his tone and scoffed, "Who do you think you're talking to?!"
joke.
He's a mighty demon god!
Demon God!
How dare a mere mortal order him around?
That's practically defying the heavens!
"Save her, or you'll get nothing from me!"
Chief Demon: ...
“I know you want my body. And it has to be something I give willingly.” Huo Yusen looked at the skull, his expression unchanged. “Save her, and I’ll give you my body. Otherwise, I’d rather perish with her!”
Chief Demon: ...
What kind of living demon child is this little rascal? He can even guess this.
He silently ground his back teeth, his voice calm and angry.
"You better keep your word!"
The chieftain was grinding his back teeth to powder.
"She defied the will of Heaven, and her punishment is an unchangeable fact, one that even I cannot change."
Speaking of this, the chieftain's tone was particularly sarcastic, "However, I do have a way to alleviate her pain."
"Let's do it."
The commanding tone made the usually arrogant and flattered Chief Demon grin and bare his teeth.
But what can you do? He's the one who's after her body!
"Kid, you'll regret this!"
Before taking action, the chieftain said something cryptic.
Huo Yusen took it as him referring to his agreement to hand over his body and didn't take it to heart at all.
He doesn't care what happens as long as Qiqi is safe.
Seeing his disregard for his own life and death, the Demon Chieftain curled his lips into a mocking smile, and with his skull-like mouth pointed at Qi Qi's heart, he spewed out a thick stream of demonic energy.
Ignorant mortals!
He is a demon, and the methods demons use to alleviate pain are not so easy for cultivators to handle.
After exhaling that breath of demonic energy, the chief demon's skull visibly shrank by more than half.
Even his tone of voice became weak.
"For the time being, unless it's a matter of life and death, it's best not to contact me!"
After uttering these words, the Demon Chief transformed into a wisp of black mist and re-entered Huo Yusen's body.
On the large bed, Qiqi's complexion had visibly improved.
Compared to its previous pale, paper-white appearance, it now had more color in it.
Huo Yusen finally felt a little relieved. He held the little girl's hand and tucked the blanket around her.
The thunder outside the window was still rumbling, and it seemed even more furious than before.
It's like he's unhappy that someone is interfering with his punishment, preventing him from achieving the desired educational effect.
But no matter how much he roared, the little girl on the bed no longer vomited blood in pain as before. This made Huo Yusen feel a little grateful to the demon who looked like he had ill intentions.
Meanwhile, the Ji family is currently caught in a dilemma, experiencing both extremes.
When the men of the Ji family, led by Ji Chengfeng and Ji Zhixu, learned that their little daughter/little sister had been kidnapped by Huo Yusen, they felt as if the sky was falling.
On the contrary, Madam Ji remained very calm.
He rolled his eyes at the group of people pacing back and forth impatiently, "Alright, stop walking around, you're making my eyes blurry!"
Ji Chengfeng stopped and turned around angrily, "Tell me, you know what kind of wicked schemes the Huo family is up to. How could they let that brat Xiao Jiu take Qi Bao away like that?"
"Otherwise what? What should I do? Break them up and stop Qi Bao and Xiao Jiu from seeing each other?" Madam Ji glared at him. He knew perfectly well how much his little girl liked her Xiao Jiu brother.
Besides, they're just two little kids; I don't know what he's so worried about.
Worrying unnecessarily!
Loan anxiety!
Nonsense!
Mrs. Ji mentally gave her husband a good scolding.
His wife's words, "breaking up the couple," stung Ji Chengfeng's already sensitive nerves, making him jump up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"What do you mean by breaking up a couple? My Qibao and that brat are not a couple at all!"
Get lost, you brat, and don't get involved with me.
Isn't their Qibao amazing?
"Yes, yes, I was just using an analogy!" Madam Ji was speechless. Why was he being so sensitive now?
However, Qi Bao will grow up someday.
Does that mean he'll also stop her from dating, getting married, and having babies?
Believe it or not, Ji Chengfeng is actually capable of doing such a thing.
Anyway, he has plenty of money, so he could support his little daughter for the rest of his life without any pressure.
He just felt that all men in the world were bastards and unworthy of his daughter.
Madam Ji really didn't know how to comment on this.
Ji Chengfeng was quiet for less than a minute before pacing back and forth anxiously.
"No, I'm still not at ease. I'll order people to search every inch of the earth to find Qi Bao right now."
As he spoke, he turned to make a phone call.
Madam Ji stopped him abruptly, saying, "Didn't Xiao Jiu's note make it clear that he needs Qi Bao's help? You know, Qi Bao doesn't like us getting involved when she's dealing with those things."
"That won't do either. Even if I don't participate, I still need to know where she is."
Otherwise, if that brat takes the opportunity to kidnap his little girl and bring her home, he'll have nowhere to turn for help.
My little girl is a traitor who always sides with outsiders; you can't count on her at all.
He still has to rely on himself, leaving those pigs who want to steal his cabbage behind!
