"My name is Lin Tianyi. I'm six years old, a transmigrator without a cheat system, and I'm currently experiencing an extraordinary kidnapping..."
The kidnapper was a young man who looked like the son of a noble. His magnificent clothing was worth enough to buy the entire Lin Family Village.
Judging by the noble youth's extremely warm and kind attitude, he did not look like a kidnapper at all. Lin Tianyi could not sense the slightest malice from him.
Yet Lin Tianyi could swear that he had never met this noble youth before. His parents were merely ordinary farmers from Lin Family Village and would most likely never have any contact with someone of such noble standing in their lives.
It left him utterly puzzled. Why would a lofty noble kidnap a child from an ordinary farming family?
Still, one thing Lin Tianyi was certain of was that the noble youth before him was definitely not normal.
Because—
What normal person took a six-year-old child to a Brothel?!
That was right. Lin Tianyi was currently in Heaven Dou City's most extravagant and upscale Brothel.
In the private room on the top floor, the music of a zither drifted through the air. The faint fragrance of beautiful women filled his nose, while sweet, coquettish laughter like silver bells rang without end.
Before the wine table, seven lovely beauties danced gracefully. Their figures were enchanting, and as their slender waists swayed, their seductive eyes seemed to weave silken threads that could steal one's soul.
But Lin Tianyi had no time to appreciate them. He turned his gaze toward the noble youth across the table and forced an ugly smile onto his childish face.
"B-Big Brother, did you kidnap the wrong person? My family doesn't seem to have offended you, does it?"
The noble youth was handsome and carried an air of nobility. Only, his complexion was somewhat pale, as though from the aftereffects of excessive indulgence. He smiled at Lin Tianyi.
"Tianyi, don't be afraid. I won't harm you. On the contrary, I came to save you."
"Save me?"
Lin Tianyi's little head was full of huge question marks. He could not understand what the other man meant at all.
The noble youth nodded with a smile, his tone gentle.
"Actually, I am..."
Bang!!!
Before the noble youth could finish, the door to the private room was kicked open with a thunderous crash.
Five constables in black uniforms, their faces cold and stern, barged in. In an instant, the seductive atmosphere in the room was shattered, replaced by oppressive silence.
The noble youth's face darkened abruptly. He shot to his feet and shouted angrily.
"You dare barge into my private room? Who gave you the nerve? I am—mmph mmph mmph..."
One constable's expression changed drastically as he rushed toward the noble youth. A large hand clamped tightly over the noble youth's mouth, choking off the rest of his words in his throat.
Then, along with two constables who rushed forward, they forcibly dragged him out of the private room despite his violent struggles. Under the gazes of Lin Tianyi and the Brothel courtesans, they vanished in the blink of an eye.
Only Lin Tianyi, completely bewildered, the trembling Brothel courtesans, and two black-clad constables with stern expressions remained in the room.
The black-clad constables swept their icy gazes over the Brothel courtesans before finally settling on Lin Tianyi. They forced an awkwardly gentle smile onto their stern faces.
"Don't be afraid, child. We received a report from your parents and followed the clues all the way here.
Come on. We'll take you to see your parents now."
Joy appeared on Lin Tianyi's childish face. He jumped down from the tall stool and followed the two constables out of the private room.
Yet a trace of doubt flashed through his eyes. At most, only two hours had passed since he went missing. In Heaven Dou City, where there were no surveillance cameras, they had found him so quickly! Wasn't that efficiency a little too high?
But when he remembered that this was a fantasy world, he accepted it. Perhaps there was some magical item he did not know about.
After leaving the Brothel, Lin Tianyi soon met his anxious, worried parents under the guidance of the two constables.
They were a middle-aged man and woman dressed in simple, worn clothing, carrying the reserved air of rural farmers.
"Tianyi!!"
The moment they saw Lin Tianyi, they ran over in excitement. Their four arms wrapped tightly around him.
Lin Tianyi's father was named Lin Tu. He looked like an honest, simple farmer, tall and powerfully built, with dark skin. He wore coarse gray linen clothes covered in patches of various sizes.
Lin Tianyi's mother was named Qin Hui. Though she was a village woman, she was remarkably beautiful. Even her plain blue clothes, which also bore many patches, could not hide her beauty. Her figure was excellent as well, and her fair, delicate skin truly did not look like that of a farmer.
Qin Hui's eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that she had been crying for a long time. Now that she saw her son safe and sound, tears streamed down her face again.
Feeling the warmth of his parents' embrace, Lin Tianyi was nearly unable to breathe, but he could truly feel their concern for him. His heart warmed.
He silently prayed that tomorrow's martial soul awakening would be promising enough for him to become a soul master, so that his parents could live a good life in the future and no longer have to rise before dawn and work until dark in the fields every day.
He had transmigrated into this world six years ago, and he had long since come to see this ordinary farming couple as his closest family.
After a long while, Lin Tu and Qin Hui finally released Lin Tianyi.
Lin Tu said to Qin Hui, "Dear, take Tianyi home first. I'll go to the government office with these two constables."
Qin Hui nodded and extended her jade-like hand, which bore no traces of farm work, to lead Lin Tianyi away.
Lin Tu watched as Lin Tianyi and Qin Hui gradually disappeared into the crowd. Once they were completely out of sight, he slowly withdrew his gaze, and the honest simplicity on his face suddenly vanished.
At that moment, Lin Tu seemed like an entirely different person. His whole bearing became imposing and domineering, and an invisible, heavy aura of authority burst from his body, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.
The two constables lowered their heads deeply, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"Lead the way."
Lin Tu's cold, commanding voice rang out slowly.
The two constables shuddered and hurriedly bent at the waist as they led Lin Tu onward.
Not long afterward, Lin Tu arrived at the government office.
At that moment, officials of all ranks were waiting respectfully before the entrance. Seeing Lin Tu approaching from afar, they hurried forward to greet him.
"My lord..."
"Where is he?"
Lin Tu did not exchange pleasantries with the lead official. His tone was calm.
The lead official immediately replied, "He's in the side room. I'll lead the way, my lord."
As he spoke, he bowed and gestured for Lin Tu to follow, then walked ahead to guide him.
Very soon, Lin Tu arrived before the door to a side room. The three black-clad constables who had previously dragged away the noble youth stood guard outside to prevent him from escaping.
The official guiding him was about to step forward and open the door when Lin Tu suddenly said.
"All of you, leave."
The guiding official and the three black-clad constables immediately bowed and took their leave, not daring to raise the slightest objection.
Creak.
Lin Tu pushed open the door and walked inside with a cold expression.
The room was spacious and sparsely furnished, containing only one table and four chairs. The nobly dressed young man sat in a chair, his face filled with anxiety and unease.
Hearing the door open, he abruptly raised his head. The instant he saw Lin Tu enter, his face turned deathly pale. His entire body trembled, and layer after layer of cold sweat seeped from his forehead.
Like a mouse seeing a cat, he sprang from his chair in panic and hastily backed away. But the room was only so large. With his back against the corner, he could retreat no farther.
The noble youth stared hopelessly at Lin Tu, who closed the door and approached him with a cold face.
Without saying a word, Lin Tu walked toward the noble youth and beckoned with one hand. A thumb-thick thorny switch flew in through the open window and landed steadily in his right palm. As a powerful Soul Douluo, this was effortless for him.
The window shut tightly as well.
A moment later.
The noble youth's pig-slaughtering screams suddenly rang out. Even the tightly shut doors and windows could not block the miserable cries from carrying far into the distance.
"Dad, I was wrong! Stop hitting me, I know I was wrong!!"
