Chapter 5581: Little Lord, Spare Me (Part 1)
"Is that so? There are actual child-snatchers in the Holy Domain? Could it be some misunderstanding?" Venerable Mulberry smiled with a benevolent expression. "Two children, where do you live? Grandpa will walk you home."
"Okay, okay!" Mo Baobao clapped his hands innocently. "Old Grandpa, we live in Bamboo Garden."
Speaking of Bamboo Garden, it was now a household name in the Holy Domain. The nearby area was now simply called Bamboo Garden, and the most iconic building was Qiao Qiao's two-story bamboo building.
The old man, with his kind face, nodded. "Oh, so you're children from Bamboo Garden. Don't be afraid, children, Grandpa will take you home."
Mo Baobao nodded adorably, clutching Master Guangguang's hand and saying, "Don't be scared, Old Grandpa is taking us home."
Guangguang nodded. "Little Dumpling isn't scared, so Guangguang isn't scared."
The huge stone weighing on Venerable Mulberry's heart finally slowly lifted, and he let out a slight sigh of relief. Seeing how the two little rascals dealt with Ma Wei and Li Lan'er just now, he had thought they were unnaturally clever and extremely difficult to deal with. Now it seemed they were just a bit smarter than average children.
Venerable Mulberry chuckled and reached out to hold Mo Baobao's small hand. Mo Baobao adorably tilted his head back and extended his little hand to the old man.
The moment Venerable Mulberry grasped the small hand, he felt something round being slipped into his palm.
Something round and small!
A warning bell blared in his mind, and he looked down abruptly.
A perfectly round, pitch-black, and glittering Holy Power Orb!
Mo Baobao giggled, pulled Master Guangguang, and bolted. As he ran, he also conjured several defensive talismans, shouting in a childish voice, "Explode!"
"Boom!!"
A tremendous explosion shook the entire Holy Domain.
Venerable Mulberry was tragically flung into the sky by a powerful gust of air, then free-fell, crashing heavily onto the ground. As he lay sprawled on his back, his mind was still somewhat bewildered.
A single thought kept replaying in his head: He was hit by a little child! He was hit, and the attacker was a five or six-year-old brat!
Ah! Venerable Mulberry struggled to sit up, but as soon as he straightened his body, a mouthful of fresh blood gushed from his mouth. The unlucky Venerable Mulberry fell straight back, hitting the ground heavily.
Zhao Gouzi, also affected by the air current because he was closer to Venerable Mulberry, naturally felt the residual shockwave from the Holy Power Orb. He, too, was flung more than three zhang (approximately 10 meters).
He lifted his head, utterly stunned, and saw the two children standing before him, hand in hand. At some point, one of the little bald-headed children had acquired a gleaming golden sledgehammer. Without a moment's hesitation, a hammer blow descended, striking him heavily on the forehead.
Zhao Gouzi immediately fainted like a dead dog.
Li Lan'er and Ma Wei were terribly startled, looking at the children as if they were seeing ghosts. The two of them, in unspoken agreement, immediately turned and retreated rapidly into the white mist.
However, faster than words could tell, Master Guangguang bellowed, "Little Wonton, come out!"
After a furious roar, Li Lan'er and Ma Wei hadn't even clearly seen what it was before they were instantly knocked unconscious.
A gigantic crimson claw suddenly slammed onto the ground, dispersing all the dense mist in front of it.
Mo Baobao's phoenix eyes gleamed brightly, and he leisurely strolled forward with his small hands clasped behind his back. He circled the four adults, some injured, some unconscious, all in a sorry state.
