Little Taotie originally intended to intercept the sleeve arrow, but the design of the sleeve arrow was ingenious, extrely fast, with a very small shaft, making it hard to block.
Blood oozed from Zhuge Xunming’s arm, not much.
Zhuge Xunming covered his wound and tried to walk towards Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan, but after just two steps, he fell straight down.
The woman caught her son.
Zhuge Xunming was much taller than typical nine-year-old children, but he was still a child, and the woman could still half drag, half carry him away.
Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan wanted to stop her, but the woman unexpectedly pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Zhuge Xunming’s neck, "Don’t co closer, or I’ll kill him!"
Little Taotie was stunned, not expecting her to use Zhuge Xunming to threaten people.
She thought this person truly treated Zhuge Xunming as her son, never expecting that at the critical mont, she’d act this way—utterly unbelievable.
Hua Jinyan was not surprised, a woman mingling with pirates wouldn’t have much conscience; her attempt to reclaim Zhuge Xunming was rely out of selfishness, just wanting soone to take care of her in old age.
If this son couldn’t take care of her, she would rcilessly get rid of him.
Little Taotie didn’t dare to breathe heavily, fearing the other’s hand might tremble, and Zhuge Xunming’s neck would start bleeding, "We won’t approach, so put the dagger down; if you accidentally hurt him, wouldn’t it also pain you?"
The woman scoffed, "Yes, it would pain ; after all, he’s my own son."
"Please put the dagger down..." Little Taotie patiently persuaded.
The woman said coldly, "Turn around, squat down, and don’t follow!"
Little Taotie imdiately turned around, squatted down, not daring to delay a mont.
Hua Jinyan pondered for a while, seeing bloodstains on the woman’s skirt; judging by the technique, she had killed before, her hand not even trembling.
Hua Jinyan also turned around and squatted.
He was certain sothing was off about the woman, her eyes weren’t right, nobody knew what crazy thing she might do; if she exerted a bit of force, that spot, once cut, even an immortal couldn’t save him.
Seeing the two squat down, the woman dragged Zhuge Xunming away, heading to the innermost room, where a small door led directly outside the hull, inside was a small submarine, enough for mother and son to escape.
The woman took Zhuge Xunming onto the submarine and left. Shortly after departure, ard n found Hua Jinyan and Little Taotie.
They were relieved that both children were safe and unhard.
Little Taotie pointed in the direction the woman took Zhuge Xunming, "Our companion was taken; there should be a submarine there, hurry and stop them!"
By the ti the ard n arrived, there was no one left.
Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan left the pirate ship, and as soon as their feet touched the shore, they were embraced by rushing family mbers.
Little Taotie was scooped up by Cheng Guodong, surrounded by his brothers, while even his biological parents and grandparents were relegated to the back to offer their concerns.
Hua Jinyan was hugged by Gu Lanxin, and struggled a bit uncomfortably, but Gu Lanxin forcefully patted him several tis, "Why can’t you be still, let your old mother give a good hug! Look at Little Taotie, so obedient and adorable!"
Hua Jinyan endured it, letting his mother hold him.
As soon as his mother released him, he hurried to run away, only to be hugged again by his father.
Hua’s father directly lifted him, rubbing his son’s face with his prickly stubble, "My son, you scared to death, good thing you’re okay..."
Hua Jinyan remained expressionless, "How long has it been since you shaved your beard!"
