Gu Xun'er Disappears, Gu Yuan Enraged

Ancient Realm!

After Gu Yuan returned, he received news that set his fury ablaze.

His precious daughter—Gu Xun'er—had mysteriously vanished.

Upon receiving this news, Gu Yuan nearly coughed up blood.

Failing to obtain the Heaven-Sent Divine Child had already left him deeply frustrated!

Now even his precious daughter had gone missing. In his rage, he smashed one hundred and eight cups.

At first, he wanted to issue an order to tear the entire Ancient Realm apart if necessary to find his daughter.

But he calmed down again, deciding that the matter could not be blown out of proportion. If the other Ancient Races learned of it, things would become troublesome.

After several days of searching, and after calming down enough to analyze every clue, he reached an unbelievable conclusion.

His precious daughter had vanished into thin air!

Although that conclusion was absurd, it was almost certainly the truth!

Moreover, he discovered through her Life Token that his precious daughter was unharmed, which barely allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

He had originally planned to search for her personally, but considering the clan's affairs, he could only order his trusted subordinates to search in secret.

Northwest Continent!

Southeastern Jia Ma Empire!

Outside a town called Maple Forest Town!

Zi Yu was transported here by the system.

Seeing such an unfamiliar environment, Zi Yu communicated with the system.

"System! Where is this place? And where are Ling Qingzhu and Gu Xun'er?"

"Replying to Great Host! This is the southeastern region of the Jia Ma Empire. Not far ahead is a place called Maple Forest Town. As for your two confidantes, they are a hundred meters away and have been targeted by human traffickers. Please hurry and save them, Great Host!"

The system spoke with a broad smile.

Hearing this, Zi Yu's face twitched. He glared "fiercely" at the system. "System! Was this your doing?"

He had every reason to suspect that the system was behind this!

However, once he spoke, the system hurriedly replied, "Great Host! No! No, it wasn't! I didn't do it! Please don't falsely accuse an innocent system! ..."

"Heh. You denied it three times in a row, and you still say this wasn't your doing?"

Zi Yu sneered inwardly.

However, this was not the time to settle accounts with this damned system.

He needed to save them first.

With that thought, Zi Yu directly summoned the Ling Shuang Sword.

Although he had no cultivation right now, with the highly spiritual Ling Shuang Sword, killing a few human traffickers would be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables!

Not far away!

There were two little girls with delicate, beautiful features, their bodies somewhat dirty. One wore a fitted green dress, while the other wore a light-colored one-piece dress.

Though the two girls appeared incredibly inexperienced and immature due to their age, anyone with even a little discernment could tell that once they grew up, they would surely become devastating beauties capable of toppling nations!

That was right! These two little girls were Gu Xun'er and Ling Qingzhu.

Standing opposite them were three burly men with distinct appearances!

One was a brawny one-eyed man, while the other two looked lecherous, with prominent cheekbones and sunken faces. One glance was enough to tell they were no good.

The one-eyed man looked at the two little girls before him and said excitedly, "Haha! Who would have thought that I, Master Mei, Mei Tianliang, would step in dog shit today! I actually ran into two little beauties! I'm going to be rich!"

"That's right, Boss. Looks like Heaven has treated us well! These two little girls have such excellent foundations. Once they grow up, they'll definitely become peerless beauties! With them, we can make a fortune again!"

After Master Mei spoke, a lecherous-looking lackey beside him eagerly echoed his words.

Having worked in this line of business for so long, they had developed a sharp eye for judging people by their appearance!

"Mm! That's true enough! But to avoid complications, hurry up and surround them. Take them away."

Master Mei forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart as he spoke.

After he finished, the other lackey beside him hurriedly pulled out some knockout drug.

Seeing his action, Master Mei quickly stopped him. "Hey! What are you doing?"

"Boss! The knockout drug! We can knock them out before taking them away!"

The lackey hurriedly explained.

"Idiot! Why make things more troublesome? Doesn't this drug cost gold coins? This tiny bit alone costs over a dozen gold coins! Are the three of us grown men incapable of handling two little girls?"

With that, Master Mei hurriedly moved in to surround them.

On the other side, although Gu Xun'er and Ling Qingzhu did not know one another, both girls were far more mature than ordinary girls their age.

At the same time, they already knew what kind of people they faced, and they knew what awaited them if they failed to escape.

After exchanging only a glance, the two silently formed an alliance.

Once the men came close, they intended to seize an opportunity and flee separately through a gap in the enemy's defenses.

However! Though they were mature for their age, they faced three adult men—and experienced criminals at that.

With their current abilities, they simply could not escape.

Gu Xun'er and Ling Qingzhu struggled fiercely, yet they were never able to break free.

However, because their struggle caused the three human traffickers no small amount of trouble.

Master Mei was enraged!

"You little bitches! Quite lively, aren't you? Da Mao, Thin Monkey, pin them down! I'll teach them a lesson!"

With that, he pulled the horsewhip from his waist and fiercely lashed the buttocks of Gu Xun'er and Ling Qingzhu, who had been pinned to the ground.

Slap! Slap! ...

Immediately afterward, the two girls let out miserable cries.

"Aah! ..."

Hearing their cries, Master Mei immediately felt much better!

"Haha! You two little bastards, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit! Now you know how formidable I am, don't you?"

As Master Mei spoke, the whip in his hand did not stop.

Slap! Slap! He lashed them several more times!

The two girls were immediately whipped until their skin split open and flesh was exposed!

At that moment, Gu Xun'er and Ling Qingzhu secretly clenched their fists.

They firmly etched the faces of those three adult men into their hearts!

And silently swore, This humiliation today! One day, we will repay it tenfold! ...

But Master Mei did not care in the slightest about the furious looks in the two little girls' eyes.

"Oh? You still dare look at me like that? Looks like you haven't had enough of the whip yet! You still don't know how to behave!"

Thus, just as he raised his horsewhip to lash Gu Xun'er and Ling Qingzhu once more.

A furious shout rang out.

"Stop right there, Young Master! ..."

As soon as the words fell, the two adult men controlling Gu Xun'er and Ling Qingzhu were kicked flying!

The one who acted was naturally Zi Yu, their protagonist!

Although he had no cultivation at the moment, he still possessed the Innate Creation Divine Body, and his physical strength was astonishing!

With the three caught off guard, it was perfectly normal for him to send them flying with a kick!

Immediately afterward, a peerless youth around seven or eight years old appeared before Gu Xun'er and Ling Qingzhu. He wore a cream-colored gold-trimmed brocade robe and looked like a celestial being.

Looking at the peerless youth before them, both girls were utterly shocked!
