Chapter 2239: Chapter 2239: Give My Child Back to Me
âŠ
On the bustling street, Leng Yikun was still searching for the little baby.
He was well aware that both he and Yuu Rong had been set up by someone. Otherwise, they wouldnât have lost Nuonuo without noticing anything.
Especially since, after losing Nuonuo, there was a replacement child holding their hand. Isnât this the literal âburying silver before revealing the truthâ?
So, starting from the place where he realized Nuonuo had gone missing, he retraced the paths theyâd walked. Sure enough, at one particular spot, he detected a familiar scent.
âItâs actually the Illusionary Pill!â
They had fallen victim to the Illusionary Pill, which caused them to unconsciously let go of Nuonuoâs hand and then unknowingly hold another childâs hand in her place.
Such a sinister tactic! To abduct a single child, they resorted to using an Illusionary Pillâa substance that, once inhaled by most cultivators, would result in idiocy for nine out of ten of them.
He lowered his head and looked at the child he was still holding in his grasp.
This child was the one those people used to replace Little Nuonuo. Although he felt pity, he did not sympathize.
The parents of this child willingly handed him over to do such a thing. They should have anticipated the consequences. Even if the child ends up brainless, theyâll simply have to bear it.
âLet go of me! Let me go!â
The young boy was confused and tried to struggle free from Leng Yikunâs grip.
But Leng Yikun wasnât going to give him the chance. One Palm Strike rendered the little boy unconscious, sparing him some trouble and allowing him to continue searching for Little Nuonuo.
Even though deep down, he knew finding her would be impossible, he had to try. What if⊠just what if he succeeded?
His icy eyes swept over a shadowy corner where a couple stood hesitating, torn between approaching and retreating. Their gazes lingered on the child in Yikunâs hand, full of sorrow and reluctanceâmaking Leng Yikun sneer coldly.
If they had known what their child would be involved in, they shouldnât now feel regret.
Even if they were reluctant, he wouldnât show mercy by returning the boy to them. If wrongdoing is committed, punishment followsâchild or not.
With the child dangling from one hand, he strode toward the couple.
The husband and wife saw Leng Yikun approaching and their worry twisted into fear. Unconsciously, they retreated several steps, staring at Yikun in terror.
âYou⊠What are you going to do?â
âWhat am I going to do?â
Leng Yikun almost laughed out loud upon hearing the manâs question.
Wasnât this the question he should be asking them? What were they planning to do, scheming against his Little Nuonuo this way?
âOh, yes, I absolutely ought to do something. Why donât you tell meâshould I mince this child in my hand into meat paste to feed the demonic beasts, or have him drawn and quartered before burning him alive so not even his bones remain?â
âNo! Please donât!â
The childâs mother gasped upon hearing Leng Yikunâs chilling words, her face draining of color as she cried out in desperation.
âI beg you to show mercy and give the child back to me. Heâs just a child; he doesnât understand anything.â
Leng Yikun: ââŠâ
What nonsense was she spouting now?
Heâs just a child and doesnât understand anything? If he didnât understand anything, how could he obediently follow two strangers for such a long distance without crying or fussing?
Not understanding anything, yet when caught, still casting them innocent yet cunning glances? Is that what she calls ânot knowingâ?
This was clearly intentional! They assumed the two adults wouldnât stoop to confronting a two-year-old child over anything, so they confidently used him for their vile schemes, thinking thereâd be no serious consequences!
âI really ought to show mercyâby sending you all straight to hell!â
