Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

The vendor was so shocked by the bite that he was completely dumbfounded!

He almost fell from midair onto his backside!

He tried to shake off the little brat, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of him!

Humph!

I might not have an iron head, but I have little steel teeth!

——All thanks to his bad brother-in-law for not letting him have any candy.

Little Jing Kong knew exactly how to use his advantages. If he had used his little hands to grab on, he would have been thrown off easily.

But with his teeth, he bit down hard and wouldn’t let go.

The vendor would have to let him bite off a piece of his flesh if he wanted to shake him off.

The muscles in the vendor's thigh tightened completely.

——He feared that if they weren’t tight enough, this little brat would really manage to bite a chunk of his flesh away as soon as his muscles loosened.

The imperial guards surrounded the area as well, but the vendor had no time to engage with them. He could only hold one child in his arms while another clung to his leg, cursing as he left the scene.

"You lot, follow me in pursuit! You, return to the imperial palace and report to His Majesty!"

"Yes!"

A squad of imperial guards chased after the direction the vendor had disappeared, but unfortunately, they lost him.

The vendor dashed across rooftops with the two children, leaping up and down, yet the one hanging from his leg refused to let go.

By the time he reached a secluded courtyard, his entire right leg had swollen up like a ham.

A man dressed in black walked out, looking at his companion who landed in the courtyard with a strange expression, "What’s going on? Weren’t you only supposed to catch one? How did you end up with two brats?"

The vendor was in so much pain he was trembling, "Do you think I wanted to catch this one as well? Didn’t you see how tightly this brat is biting down?"

The man in black took a closer look, and indeed, he had to admit it was true.

Little Jing Kong was also wearing the academy’s uniform, clearly a student of Lingbo Academy.

The man in black was baffled, thinking to himself, how are these brats so tiny?

Can they even pull up their own pants? How could the academy dare to enroll them? Just how badly was Lingbo Academy in need of funds?

The vendor, unable to bear it any longer, snapped, "Stop staring! Hurry up and get him off me!"

“Got it.” The man in black waved his hand and stepped forward to yank Little Jing Kong off.

This time, he easily pulled him off.

The reason was simple: Little Jing Kong had already reached his limit.

He had been holding on through sheer willpower until now.

Although he had a fierce set of little steel teeth, he had forgotten his odd illness of getting dizzy from meat!

Little Jing Kong collapsed on the ground, sprawled out with his limbs in the air, his eyes rolling back, and his tongue hanging out.

The Little County Princess had already been scared stiff, not moving an inch, not even crying or making a sound.

Both the man in black and the vendor were quite satisfied.

The vendor handed the Little County Princess over to the man in black and said, "You take them down first, I need to tend to my wound."

"Then what about this one..." The man in black took the Little County Princess and pointed at the unconscious Little Jing Kong on the ground.

The vendor impatiently replied, "Whatever, just toss him out."

“No!” The Little County Princess suddenly spoke up, grabbing the man in black's lapel with both hands, her small body shaking uncontrollably. With the most frightened expression, she said the most forceful words, “Don’t throw him out!”

The man in black paused for a moment, then turned to the vendor and said, “You didn’t get rid of him earlier, but now you do? Are you in such a hurry to get exposed? What if someone sees——”

"I already said it’s up to you!" the vendor interrupted him, "I’m in too much pain. I need to go apply medicine."

With that, he hobbled to another room, limping all the way.

The man in black frowned, holding the Little County Princess in one hand and grabbing Little Jing Kong with the other.

He locked the two of them in the woodshed.

……

In the imperial audience hall, the Emperor was in the midst of court.

Recently, heavy rains had been frequent across the State of Yan, causing significant flooding in the downstream areas of the rivers. Various local offices were requesting the imperial court to provide disaster relief.

Due to the large number of disaster-stricken areas and the severity of the situation, disaster relief had become an urgent matter.

However, disaster relief was never just about money. Troops had to be dispatched for flood control and emergency rescue, dikes had to be reinforced, and displaced refugees needed to be resettled.

This year's flooding was the most severe in twenty-five years.

The Emperor was feeling a headache.

He pressed his temple and calmly asked, "How was the flood relief handled twenty-five years ago?"

The entire imperial audience hall fell into dead silence.

All the court officials held their ceremonial tablets, their eyes downcast, staring at their noses, their noses pointing to their hearts.

The Emperor suddenly realized he had asked a foolish question.

Twenty-five years ago, half of the southern regions were struck by disaster, and it was Xuanyuan Li who quickly led troops to provide disaster relief.

Not only did he repair the dikes and rescue the victims, but he also saved thousands of hectares of fertile land and personally executed eighteen corrupt local officials who embezzled disaster funds and oppressed the people.

All of this was done before reporting back to the court.

Those local officials had ties to various powerful forces in the provincial capital and even Shengdu, causing a period of unrest in Shengdu.

Some tried to drag Xuanyuan Li into the muddy water, while others attempted to threaten him, but unfortunately, none succeeded.

The major factions were either completely uprooted or had to cut off their own limbs to survive.

In short, for several years after that, no one dared to embezzle disaster relief funds again.

The surviving factions all kept their heads down and behaved, playing the role of honest officials for a while.

Just as the Emperor was deeply troubled by the flood disaster, the imperial guards and palace maids who had been escorting the Little County Princess returned.

A palace maid knelt at the long steps outside the imperial audience hall, sobbing uncontrollably, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Little County Princess has been kidnapped——"

The Emperor’s gaze darkened, and a murderous aura radiated from him in an instant, “What did you say? What happened to the Little County Princess?”

The palace maid trembled as she wept, “When our carriage reached the back gate of Lingbo Academy… suddenly a vendor selling candied hawthorns appeared… he grabbed the Little County Princess and took her away…”

The Emperor slammed his palm on the armrest of the dragon chair, standing up in fury, "A mere vendor selling candied hawthorns can abduct someone from under the imperial guards' noses! What is the imperial guards even good for!"

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
