"Yue Guan, that child is quite interesting!"

At the entrance of an alley stood a veiled woman with a graceful figure. Her voice sounded cold and aloof, yet it was pleasant to hear.

Beside her stood a blond man clad in golden armor. The two stopped there as they watched a child in the dark alley fighting a stray dog over food.

The woman watched the child, who had been pinned to the ground by the dog yet showed not the slightest fear in his eyes, and a trace of interest rose within her.

"Tell me, will this child die in that stray dog's jaws?"

Watching the scene before her, the woman had no intention of lending a hand.

Instead, she looked at the child pinned beneath the dog and spoke to the blond man beside her.

"Your Highness, how could such a young child possibly be a match for a stray dog driven mad by hunger?"

"Does Your Highness mean for me to save this child?"

Hearing this, the woman shook her head slightly. Her eyes remained fixed on the boy pinned beneath the dog, his hands tightly clamped around its neck. "I don't think so. This child definitely will not die."

"If he survives, take him back with us."

"If he dies, kill that stray dog. Consider it revenge for him."

The man standing beside the woman heard her cold and heartless words, but did not offer the slightest objection.

Instead, he simply stood there and watched with her.

"Awooo!"

An incomparably miserable howl rang out through the alley.

The child who had originally been pinned beneath the stray dog—

Was gripping the dog's neck with both hands. Then, seizing his chance, a cold glint flashed through his eyes as he opened his mouth and bit down hard on the dog's throat.

Bitten by the child, the stray dog let out a cry of agony before going completely berserk.

It tried to throw off the person biting its throat. Once it shook him loose, it would be time to bite him to death.

Unfortunately, no matter how frantically the dog flung its body around—

The child clamped onto its throat refused to let go, his arms and legs wrapped tightly around the dog's body.

Even when the dog leaped up and slammed the child to the ground like a cushion of flesh, or smashed him against the alley walls—

No matter what happened, the child biting the dog's throat did not release it in the slightest.

It was as though the body taking those impacts was not his own.

Because the child knew—

The moment he let go and gave the dog an opening, he would die in its jaws.

As time passed, in less than the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the stray dog that had been wildly thrashing about gradually lost its strength.

It crashed heavily to the ground, blood still spilling from its mouth.

"Your Highness, this child really took care of that beast!"

The blond man beside the woman saw the child still clinging to the dog's corpse, his teeth refusing to loosen, and spoke to her in surprise.

"Mm, I saw it. This child is very vigilant."

As she spoke, the woman slowly walked into the alley.

"This dog is dead. You can let go now."

Hearing her voice, the child tightly wrapped around the dog's corpse slowly released his arms and legs.

Then he lay spread-eagled in the pool of blood formed by the dog's flowing blood.

The veiled woman looked at the child before her, who seemed to have lost all strength. Seeing him covered in blood, a glint flashed through her eyes.

This child really was not simple.

Even now, he had not lowered his guard. It had to be said that this child's vigilance surpassed even that of ordinary adults.

Yue Guan, the blond man following beside the woman, saw her enter the alley and followed after her.

Just as he reached the woman's side, the child who had seemed to be lying powerless in the pool of blood suddenly rolled over and tried to flee.

However, before he had taken two steps, he suddenly felt his body rise into the air. Controlled by a mysterious force, he was brought before the man and woman.

The mysterious force enveloping his body and keeping him afloat slowly lowered him to the ground, making him face the two of them.

"What is your name?"

The child knew he could not escape, so he might as well wait and see what these two intended to do next.

When that mysterious force had enveloped him, he had already understood that these two could kill him with ease.

When the child heard the woman ask his name, he answered coldly, "Su Yi."

Hearing the child give his name, the woman looked into Su Yi's eyes, filled with chilliness and devoid of any emotion. Her usually unruffled heart trembled slightly.

How old was this child? Four? Or five?

She had seen many children who had lost their parents to war and famine.

But she had never seen a child—or even any person—with eyes as utterly emotionless as this child's.

There was only indifference. Those eyes held no color as they looked at her calmly.

It was as if nothing in this world, no object or event, could stir the owner of those eyes.

Even her own coldness and detachment were worlds apart from this child's.

"Where are your parents?"

After briefly losing herself in those indifferent eyes, the woman spoke.

"Dead."

Hearing the child's cold answer, the blond man named Yue Guan standing beside the woman could not help frowning slightly.

Before the blond man could react, the veiled woman looked at the child and said softly, "Would you like to come with me?"

"Okay."

Hearing Su Yi's answer, the corners of the woman's lips lifted slightly beneath her veil.

Then, dressed in white, she showed no disgust toward the filthy, disheveled Su Yi. She crouched down, took his small bloodstained hand in hers, and led him out of the alley.

"Oh, right. My name is Bibi Dong."

Perhaps it was Su Yi's attitude of indifference toward everything, or perhaps it was his eyes filled with coldness.

Bibi Dong felt that this child suited her temperament well.

She did not know what this child had gone through to become like this.

Yet even after all she had experienced, no matter how nauseating and dark it had been, she did not possess Su Yi's eyes—eyes so cold and indifferent to everything.

With such eyes, if properly cultivated, he would definitely become one of her most trusted subordinates.

As for whether he would become strong in the future, how could a child with such terrifying eyes, such a vigilant mind, and the resolve to fight a stray dog to the death and kill it fail to become strong?

Perhaps this child was a gift bestowed upon her by heaven.

The moment she held his little hand, she could vaguely sense it. Whether she would truly be able to control Spirit Hall in the future, and even this vast Tianxia, this child would be crucial.
