Tang Qiqi had never seen such an unapproachable person. Despite being only seven or eight years old, he acted like a child with a maturity beyond his years.
What's most infuriating is that, despite my soft and cute appearance and the fact that I cried for so long, he didn't even bother to comfort me or look at me properly.
Tang Qiqi is very angry, and the consequences will be severe!
She refused to believe it. In her anger, she plucked a large goose feather from her spatial storage, sat down in front of the boy, and focused intently on scratching his nostrils with the feather.
The boy finally couldn't take it anymore, and suddenly opened his eyes, staring straight at Tang Qiqi.
Tang Qiqi wasn't intimidated at all, and confronted him with wide eyes.
The boy said in an extremely cold tone, "Who exactly are you? They really will stop at nothing to send a little brat like you!"
Tang Qiqi let out a long sigh!
The boy frowned in confusion and asked, "Why are you sighing?"
Tang Qiqi said regretfully, "Heaven is so unfair! How could such a handsome face be given to you? It's such a waste!"
The boy was baffled; this didn't sound like something a little kid would say.
The boy hesitated for a second, then immediately reverted to his usual cold demeanor: "Don't try to fool me, tell me quickly why they sent you here."
Tang Qiqi raised her little face and looked at the boy, tears welling up in her eyes. She said pitifully:
"You're so fierce, you'll scare me! I'm only three years old, and I even got separated from my Uncle Zhu. Lanling is no fun at all, there are bad people everywhere!"
The boy was flustered by her appearance and asked in a softer tone, "Are you really not someone they sent?"
"Who are they? Today, I got separated from Uncle Zhuzi as soon as we entered Lanling City. I didn't even get to taste the double dragon playing with a pearl candy that Zhou Zishu bought for me. I wonder how Uncle Zhuzi is doing now?" Tang Qiqi said, and then she really started to cry.
She felt so sad when she thought of Uncle Zhu. If she couldn't find herself, Uncle Zhu would be frantic with worry.
The boy seemed to have figured it out, and gave a wry smile, saying, "I was being too paranoid. You're just a three-year-old girl; you shouldn't be one of their people."
Tell me, where you're from and where you're going. You're probably not from Lanling!
Tang Qiqi discovered that the boy was very wary of people, so she tried her best to act like a three-year-old.
She answered, sobbing, "I live in Tangjiagou. My uncle and I came to Lanling to buy chickens. As soon as we entered the city, I was stuffed into a sack and brought here."
The boy carefully examined Tang Qiqi. It didn't make sense; they shouldn't have gone to the trouble of capturing a farm boy. Could there be some hidden secret behind this?
"You think she's a country girl?" the boy asked suspiciously.
Tang Qiqi was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. She puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
Just then, voices came from outside the house: "There's no way I'm wrong. I arrested her based on the sketch you gave me. Even though she was dressed as a peasant girl and had some chickens in the back of her cart, how could such a clumsy disguise fool me!"
Another person cursed, "You idiot! Our people checked, and the young princess has returned to the manor unharmed!"
"Could it be a case of arresting the wrong person? Impossible! If you don't believe me, come with me to see. That child looks exactly like the one in the portrait!"
As the two were talking, the door was opened, and the room was immediately brightly lit.
Several masked men dressed in black entered the house, one of whom was carrying a painting.
Tang Qiqi was very curious and wanted to see what was in the painting, but the boy immediately shielded her behind him.
A tall man in black strode over, intending to pull Tang Qiqi out from behind the boy.
The boy said arrogantly, "Take your dirty hands off this child!"
The man in black smiled contemptuously and said, "Young master, you are nothing but a prisoner now, barely able to save yourself, so don't meddle in other people's business!" As he spoke, he reached out again.
The boy remained unmoved, his expression unchanged, his body already in a fighting stance.
Another man in black said smugly, "Young master, you are poisoned. Forcing yourself to circulate your internal energy will only accelerate the effects of the poison and hasten your death. Do you really think you can deal with us all by yourself?"
Upon hearing that the boy had been poisoned, Tang Qiqi, fearing for his safety, jumped out, hands on her hips, and asked in a cute but fierce tone, "Why did you arrest me!"
The two men in black looked at the painting and then at Tang Qiqi. One of them said, "Look, it does resemble her quite a bit!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped hard across the face by another person: "Idiot, this is your first day on the job, and you grab someone and tell me they look like them!"
"Big brother, what should we do with this girl?" the black-clad man who had been beaten asked tremblingly.
The man said viciously, "What else can we do? Just kill him with one stab and throw him out to feed the dogs!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Qiqi exclaimed, "My God, this is too cruel!" and instinctively shrank back behind the boy.
The boy quickly shielded her with one hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
The man in black suddenly realized what was going on and said with a grin, "Young master cares a lot about this child? That makes things easier. Young master, hand over the item quickly, or this little brat will die right in front of you today!"
The boy was so angry that his veins bulged: "You bastards, you won't even spare a three-year-old child, I will never let you succeed."
"That's not up to you." The man in black said, and began to attack the boy. Another man seized the opportunity to grab Tang Qiqi, grabbed her neck and said, "Young master, hand over the things obediently, or I'll snap this doll's neck!"
The boy panicked and shouted angrily, "If you've got the guts, come at me! Let that child go!"
The man in black tightened his grip, threatening, "Young master, I'll count to three. Either you tell me where the thing is, or I'll send this child to meet the King of Hell!"
"Three, two,..."
Before the man in black could utter a sound, the boy suddenly laughed eerily: "You are all so naive. Why would you think I would compromise for a complete stranger? He's just a country boy, insignificant compared to the safety of Lanling City. Kill him if you want!"
After the boy finished speaking, he returned to the corner, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.
Tang Qiqi was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys felt like they were about to explode. This person was truly cold-blooded and ruthless, completely disregarding his own life and death.
He doesn't look like a child at all; he's practically a little monster with a pretty child's face!
Tang Qiqi struggled desperately. She wanted to get down and settle accounts with that brat. How dare he say that she was just an insignificant country girl? She was the family's darling!
The man in black was clearly not expecting the boy to react this way. He grabbed Tang Qiqi's slender neck and said viciously, "Since the young master refuses to save you, don't blame me for being impolite!"
