Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 689 - 688: The Wooden Bed and the Floor are Stained Red with Fresh Blood

Chapter 689: Chapter 688: The Wooden Bed and the Floor are Stained Red with Fresh Blood

"They are my friends," said Su Ji, who seemed to be the age of an 8-year-old child with a young voice, yet her tone was very mature. "After I left the Demon Suppression Tower, I met them."

"Your Highness must be joking, we are your subordinates," the black-eared fox said respectfully to Su Ji, cupping its fist in a salute. "To call us friends is too kind, isn’t it?"

Mianmian looked at Su Ji, then at the black fox, and quickly hid behind Su Ji.

The dark Qi on the black fox’s body was too dense and strong, making it seem like it wasn’t a good demon. Only Su Ji didn’t have that dark Qi on her; she hadn’t killed anyone yet.

"Hei Ling, don’t be like that," Su Ji said with an embarrassed expression. "I really didn’t want to be any prince. I truly consider you my friends."

Hei Ling was about to speak when Wu Chenzi, who was captured by the other demons, interrupted, "You are from the Demon Realm, and by coming to the mortal world, you are violating the treaty!"

Hei Ling scoffed, "Treaty? What treaty?"

Wu Chenzi was still angry, "You must know about this treaty. With so many of your demon clan coming to the mortal realm, your good days in the Demon Realm are over."

"Why do you think we would come?" Hei Ling glanced at Mianmian, who was hiding behind Su Ji.

Why would they come?

If not for discovering the existence of a Spiritual Child.

Not only could a Spiritual Child greatly increase a mortal’s cultivation base, but for their Demon Clan, it was also a treasure. As long as they brought the Spiritual Child back to the Demon Realm, the Demon King would certainly be able to break the barrier between the mortal realm and the Demon Realm. By then, it wouldn’t just be a few demons arriving; the entire mortal realm would be conquered by the Demon Clan.

Hei Ling thought to himself, It was lucky that the Demon King had ordered him to search for the Third Prince, and he hadn’t refused. Otherwise, how could he have learned about the Spiritual Child?

It was also a good thing that the Spiritual Child had such a good relationship with the child of the Third Prince.

It was said that to benefit from the Spiritual Child, the demon would need to keep the child in good spirits. They had no relationship with the Spiritual Child and were demons opposed to mortals. It seemed impossible to keep the Spiritual Child happy.

But it was different with the child of the Third Prince; the two youngsters were friends.

While thinking about all this, Hei Ling’s demeanor toward Su Ji became even more respectful, "Your Highness, if you have any commands, please do tell. How you wish to deal with this despicable Daoist priest, you may also freely decide."

Su Ji looked towards Mianmian.

"How do you want to deal with him?"

Mianmian stared at Wu Chenzi and, as she did, remembered her parents.

"Where did he put the lantern containing Mianmian’s parents, huh?"

Hearing her words, Su Ji raised her hand and placed it on Wu Chenzi’s head, then said, "That lantern was put in his room, along with my parents’ Demon Pills."

"And what about those children who lived in the same village as Mianmian? Where are they?"

"Also in his room."

Mianmian had actually asked where the children had gone before, but Wu Chenzi kept saying they were training somewhere else. Now that she knew where the children were, Mianmian thought for a moment and said, "Many people were deceived by him, he’s just a bad egg. Let’s let those people know he’s wrong."

Hearing Mianmian’s request, Su Ji smiled, "Alright, then let’s first take this Daoist priest into custody. We will transform into the appearance of the Daoist priests and return to the Daoist Temple."

Su Ji was the first to transform into Wu Chenzi, and after the transformation, Hei Ling brought out a tattered bag.

The bag itself was very small, but as Hei Ling recited a spell, Wu Chenzi on the ground was suddenly swept into the bag.

With Wu Chenzi taken care of, other demons quickly changed into the appearance of the deceased Daoist priests as per Su Ji’s orders.

As for the corpses of the Daoist priests...

"Mianmian, let’s head that way first," Su Ji, who had transformed into Wu Chenzi, suddenly spoke up.

Mianmian blinked her eyes, "That’s not right, you should call me ’little apprentice,’ not Mianmian."

Su Ji hastily corrected herself, "Little apprentice, let’s go."

Mianmian looked back at the bodies of the Daoist priests one more time and followed Su Ji with downcast eyes.

They were the first to leave the forest, followed by the demons. To say demons was now incorrect, as they were all disguised as Daoist priests.

There were also demons who were naturally Wolf Demons, now disguised as the captured Wolf Demons.

When everyone returned to the Daoist Temple together, the Daoist priests who had remained in the temple did not notice anything unusual. They were not Wu Chenzi’s important associates and usually did the lowest-level chores in the temple.

Su Ji, having transformed into Wu Chenzi, led Mianmian directly to his room.

Mianmian followed Su Ji in silence, frowning.

Su Ji turned a candlestick in Wu Chenzi’s room, and with a creak, an entrance appeared on the floor.

Below the entrance was a staircase.

Mianmian walked down the stairs curiously, twisting and turning until she once again saw light.

It was the light of candle fire.

As it was a basement, even with the light of the candles, the whole room was still dimly lit. Vaguely, one could see a metal cage.

In the cage, many children were locked up, each with chains binding their feet.

They heard the noise and looked up in fear at the people coming in. These children were as old as 13 and as young as about 5.

Among them was a child Mianmian knew from her village, Gou Dan.

Seeing Mianmian, he ran excitedly to the edge of the cage, wanting to speak with her.

But seeing the "Wu Chenzi" beside Mianmian, he became frightened and retreated to the corner with a terrified face.

However, Mianmian was no longer afraid, since Wu Chenzi had already been captured.

She ran up to the cage and called out Gou Dan’s name, "Gou Dan, Gou Dan, is that you?"

Gou Dan nodded fearfully.

Mianmian knew Gou Dan must be afraid of Wu Chenzi, thought for a moment, and asked "Wu Chenzi" to leave first.

Seeing Wu Chenzi so obedient to Mianmian’s words, Gou Dan’s eyes widened. He watched as Wu Chenzi left and then ran back to the front of the cage, asking Mianmian, "Mianmian, is it really you? Have you also been caught by the bad guys?"

Mianmian replied, "No, I wasn’t caught by him."

Gou Dan looked at Mianmian, then at some metal objects nearby, and suddenly shuddered, "Mianmian, that Daoist priest is a bad guy, you must not get caught by him. He, he killed Xiaohua and the others..."

Mianmian followed Gou Dan’s gaze.

She hadn’t looked closely before, but now she realized there was a wooden bed next to her. The bed had shackles for chaining a child’s hands and feet, and there were knives beside it. freēnovelkiss.com

The bed and the floor were stained with fresh blood, clearly indicating that many had died there.

Gou Dan was already crying bitterly, sobbing, "I’m so scared every day, I fear he will kill me too, I miss my parents, wuu wuu wuu."

Mianmian softly comforted, "It’s okay, Gou Dan, don’t worry, you won’t die."

But she didn’t say Gou Dan would be able to see his parents again because Gou Dan’s parents were gone.
