Chapter 510 - Escape from a Wolf's Nest into a Tiger's Cave
The Cold Prince Dotes On His Wild Wife
Xuanyuan Che did not want to give up, but when he recalled the words of the shopkeepers, he could only give up. However, since there werenât any, he could find a carpenter to do some for Little Junior Seven.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Che brought the hidden guards to search for a carpenter in the Eastern Tomb City. When the returning Xuanyuan Haoyue heard the words of the hidden guards, he was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell to the ground. He could not believe that his royal brother would do such a childish thing for a little girl, and even bring his guards to search for childrenâs toys on the streets. He hastily rushed to the Eastern Tomb City to find Xuanyuan Cheâs figure.
At this time, Xiao Jiu Qi was wearing Xuanyuan Cheâs clothes and the corners of his clothes dragged along the ground. She heavily lifted up his clothes and finally walked out of the alleyway.
Where was she? Where should she go? She was like a mother, but there were so many of them! Where did a mother come from?
Tears welled in her eyes. Everyone on the street passing by Little Junior Seven looked at her strangely, causing her to lower her head in fear. âGu gu guâ a series of cries rang out. Xiao Chu Qi lowered his head and looked at his stomach. He was so disappointed that he started to get hungry again. She licked her dry lips. She had no money now, so where would she be able to fill her stomach with delicious food â¦
âSteamed Bun!â A steamed bun just came out of the wok! â
Hearing the shouts from both sides of the street, Xiao Chu Qiâs line of sight fell on the front of Steamed Bunâs shop. He couldnât help but swallow his saliva when he saw the steaming hot steamer.
As he slowly walked to the bun house, the shopkeeper saw the dirty look on Xiao Junior Sevenâs face. He pointed at Xiao Junior Seven with disdain and said, âScram!â âDonât block my business.â
Xiao Chu and Xiao Qi looked pitifully at the shopkeeper, tightly grabbing their clothes, carefully saying, âI, Iâm hungry, can Iâ¦â
âNo, get lost!â
Before he could finish his words, he was scolded back at by the store manager. Xiao Chu Qiâs tears fell down. He picked up his clothes and ran into the crowd. However, she didnât notice that behind her was a young man around the age of seventeen or eighteen. His eyes were fixed on Junior Seven as he followed her into the crowd.
Xiao Chu Qi lowered her head, not paying attention to the people behind her. She whispered, âMother, they wonât give Xiao Qi anything to eat. They are all bad people! Wu wu wu ⦠Big Brother Che, where are you? Xiao Qi shouldnât have disobeyed you and ran out. â
Every time Little Seven stopped, the beggars behind him also stopped. Little Seven raised his foot and walked forward, and the beggar followed. However, he always kept a certain distance from Xiao Chu Qi to prevent him from finding out.
When Xiao Yu arrived at the corner of a street, a gloomy and urgent voice was heard.
âIâve been a bit nervous recently. I can exchange it for some silver now that Iâve taken the bait!â
Xiao Chu Qi looked towards the direction of the sound and saw two men in poor clothes sneakily talking to each other with their heads lowered. One of them was holding a jade pendant.
Xiao Yuâs eyes lit up. If their things could be exchanged for money, then could hers be exchanged for money as well? If you have money, can you buy delicious food?
Thinking of this, Little Junior Seven quietly followed behind the two men. As for the beggar, he also quietly followed Little Junior Sevenâs figure towards the pawnshop.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The few of them walked in front of the pawnshop one after the other. The two men walked in first, and when the beggar who was following Little Junior Seven stopped, he also stopped.
From his bosom, he took out a black pearl that Xuanyuan Che had gifted to her. Looking at it again and again, he reluctantly said to the little pearl: âSorry, Little Black, Little Seven is really hungry. I can only change you for some money. Big Brother Che, Iâm sorry, I treated the gift you gave Little Seven as though it was a gift. â
After making his decision, Xiao Chu Qi lifted his leg and was about to walk into the shop.
The moment she took out the pearl, the eyes of the beggar following behind her started to shine. Just as she was about to step forward, a sudden pain came from her hand, and the black pearl in her hand was suddenly snatched away by someone. Because everything happened too suddenly, when Little Junior Brother reacted, the pearl was already in the hands of the beggar who had been following her all this time.
The beggar looked at the seventh day of the new year. The seventh day of the new year was also staring at the beggar. Just as she was about to shout for help, she was dragged into an alley by the beggar. The beggar looked around and knocked out Junior Seven with a knife. He found the other two beads on her body and looked at the color of the beads.
Three beads were quietly lying on his palm, and the terrifying scar on the back of his hand made people shiver. The beggar put the beads away and glanced at the Seventh Day girl lying on the ground. He bent down slightly and pulled her face over to him, saying softly, âShe looks so good. If she were to sell it to the Beiming Nation, she would definitely be able to get a good price!â
Thinking of this, the beggar picked up the seventh day child and quickly disappeared into the alley.
At this time, Xuanyuan Che had already found one of the top carpenters in the Eastern Tomb Kingdom and had ordered the carpenters to make all sorts of strange wooden blocks according to the items from the Seventh Year. Looking at the small pieces of wood within the exquisite wooden box, Xuanyuan Cheâs eyes showed an extra trace of gentleness.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his hidden guard, Yuan Lu, suddenly ran over and whispered a few words into Xuanyuan Cheâs ear. Xuanyuan Che was startled for a moment upon hearing Yuan Luâs words. The hand holding the box tightened as he coldly said, âHave you found every single place?â
âYes, Your Highness.â
âGo, go back!â
When Abyss saw Xuanyuan Cheâs gaze, he hurriedly retreated in fright.
When Xuanyuan Che returned to Crown Prince Palace, he ordered everyone to secretly search Crown Princeâs Palace once more but they still could not find the figure of Little Junior Seven. Xuanyuan Che was furious. He sat in front of the table and his gaze would occasionally fall on the box he had just made. He tightly clenched his small fists and waited for the last piece of news from Yuan Lu.
Finally, after more than two hours, Yuan Lu and Xuanyuan Haoyue appeared together in front of Xuanyuan Che. Yuan Lu opened his mouth and said, âYour Highness, we are sure that you are not in Crown Princeâs Palace.â
Xuanyuan Haoyue earnestly said, âThat girl drilled out from the dog hole in the woodshed. There were traces of crawling. There are similar small handprints. â
Xuanyuan Che coldly said after hearing Xuanyuan Haoyueâs words, âClean up all the traces!â
âIt has been cleaned up. Right now, our people have already gone out to find someone, but this is still the Eastern Tomb Kingdom, so we canât make too much of a commotion, and finding someone isnât convenient either. Iâm afraid that the people of the Eastern Tomb Kingdom must take action. Otherwise, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack! Iâm afraid it will be difficult to find that little girl. â
âFind!â and order everyone to look for it! â At this moment, a voice in Xuanyuan Cheâs heart was clamoring. He had to find her or else she would be in danger!
