Chapter 10: I Am Going to Protect Mother

Just as Yuwen Jing was about to speak of the engagement between Chu Yunluo and Prince Ning, which had been personally decreed by the Emperor, a streak of golden light seemed to pierce through the sky from the horizon. A powerful aura, unique to magical beasts, was approaching.

This must be the magical beast Ning Honglie referred to.

To possess such a powerful aura, this beast's rank should be at least sixth-grade or higher.

Yuwen Jing's figure flickered as he chased after the beast's tracks. Ning Honglie whispered to Chu Yunluo, "Wait for me here," before quickly following after them.

"Hurry, keep up and protect His Highness Prince Xuan!"

Liu Bing's expression remained as unchanging as it had been for ten thousand years. The group behind her dared not disobey and immediately followed at full speed.

This place was instantly left with only Fatty He and his two subordinates.

"Ugly woman, you're hiding your son and daughter and deliberately framing me in front of Prince Xuan. What are your intentions?"

As soon as Fatty He saw her helpers leave, he forgot his previous pain and immediately began to clamor.

"You dead fatso!" Chu Yunluo felt anxious on behalf of his intelligence. "You said that even my son could burn your clothes in public; so, if I were to take action, would I burn a layer of your skin off this time?"

At this moment, the hostility in Chu Yunluo's eyes far exceeded what her face could convey.

This dead fatso actually brought people here to look for her son; he was seeking death. She would never show mercy to anyone who posed a threat to her children.

On the Aotian Continent, martial artists were the most common. Therefore, if the news spread that a five-year-old fourth-rank fire-element mage had appeared, it would surely draw people from all directions to scramble for him.

Prince Xuan must have come here out of a desire to recruit talent. However, Chu Yunluo did not want to involve herself in the struggles of the imperial court or the conflicts between nations.

She just hadn't expected that he would actually be someone who knew her...

"Ah!"

Fatty He only had time to widen his eyes in shock. His body felt as if it were pinned down by nails, completely unable to move. A fireball swirled before his eyes, rapidly engulfing him. It spat tongues of fire frantically. Soon, the place where Fatty He and his two subordinates had been standing was left with nothing but a pile of ash, which immediately scattered with a gust of wind.

No matter where one is, only the strong can survive; Chu Yunluo had always understood this principle.

At this moment, inside the house, Chu Xiaoyu could no longer wait.

"Xiao Momo, how about you stay here guarding, and I'll go out to take a look?"

What exactly was happening outside? Why could he feel certain auras approaching and then suddenly moving away?

"Didn't Mother say that if she doesn't call us, we shouldn't go out?"

Chu Xiaomo was an obedient little darling, her watery eyes currently carrying a faint smile.

The two of them were currently hiding in a small basement inside the house; it would be difficult for an ordinary person to discover it.

"What if Mother is in danger right now? I think it's better to go out once." Chu Xiaoyu's expression became solemn. "I have to go protect Mother."

Hearing this, Chu Xiaomo began to feel conflicted. Should she listen to Mother or her brother?

"How about we go together? I can protect Mother too." In the end, Chu Xiaomo felt she should agree with Chu Xiaoyu. What if Mother really was in danger?

"No, Mother said you mustn't use water magic easily." Chu Xiaoyu shook his head seriously in protest. He reached out and patted her chubby little shoulder with great solemnity. "Stay here. I'm going to protect Mother, and I'll come back to get you out in a bit."
