Chapter 733: Surrounded by Wolves
"The princess of the Great Xia Dynasty must not be humiliated."
Chen Futu snapped his fingers in the thatched cottage. At the same time, a spatial fluctuation appeared in the Xu family. The boy who had just finished speaking let out a miserable scream, his cursing words turned into sobs, and he opened his mouth and stuck out a piece of his severed tongue.
His mouth was full of blood, which terrified a group of teenagers who screamed in horror.
Xu Chen was also startled, and then grabbed Xiao Ling'er and ran away.
Fu Shuang asked, "Why did the Holy Emperor intervene?"
“If a child is not properly raised, it is the father’s fault. Since his father does not discipline him, I will discipline him on behalf of the Xu family.”
Chen Futu doted on Chen Ling'er the most. As a father, how could he stand by and watch others bully his own daughter?
Not killing them is already an act of extraordinary mercy.
The Xu family became chaotic. The boy whose tongue had been cut out was the leader of a group of children and also the most noble member of the entire Xu family.
Xu Chen's father, Xu Wen, was the third son in his family and held a fairly good position. Upon hearing about the matter, he immediately rushed back to his clan.
"Damn it, who did this?!"
Roars continued to erupt.
Seeing his elder brother Xu Long's anger, Xu Wen tried to go over to check on the child's injuries, but was shoved aside by the furious Xu Long. "Third brother, stop pretending! Was it your son who did this?! This needs to be explained!"
“My Chen’er is only so young and his cultivation is not high. How could he possibly do such a thing, let alone be so cruel?”
Although Xu Wen looked down on his own son, he believed that Xu Chen would not do something like killing one's own blood relatives.
Xu Long didn't care about all that. He had just asked a group of children by the lake. They said that something happened after they surrounded Xu Chen and the little girl. Even if Xu Chen didn't do it, it must be related to him.
"If you don't believe me, we can go and ask."
Xu Wen had no choice but to change his tune.
And so, a large group of people arrived at the Second Madam's courtyard. The women all followed. The most furious of them all was Xu Long's wife. Her most precious son had his tongue cut out. How could she bear it?
"You bitch, get out here!"
Xu Wen started cursing as soon as he entered the door.
Inside the room, before Xu Chen could tell his sickly mother about the incident, he heard the familiar cursing voice outside, and his face immediately turned pale.
Little Ling'er asked, "What happened?"
"Ling'er, don't be afraid. I'm here, and I won't let anyone hurt you."
After Xu Chen finished speaking, he was about to leave when the second wife struggled to get out of bed and stopped the two children, saying, "Don't move, I'll go take a look."
She knew something must have gone wrong, and judging from the situation, things wouldn't end well today.
The second mistress was helped into the courtyard by her maid, where she saw the whole family had arrived.
"You bitch, what have you done!"
Xu Wen didn't care about anything else and stepped forward to slap him.
The second wife, frail and weak, could not withstand the blow and collapsed to the ground, half her face swollen and red, her eyes streaked with tears. "What have I done wrong? Why is my husband doing this to me?"
"You dare say that? Where's Xu Chen? Tell him to come out and explain himself!"
Xu Wen roared, looking as if he wanted to devour someone.
Chen Futu and Fu Shuang clicked their tongues in amazement. Was this guy some kind of idiot, helping outsiders bully his own wife and children?
There are all kinds of birds in the forest!
Hearing the commotion, Xu Chen immediately ran out of the room. Seeing his mother being beaten to the ground by his father, he threw himself beside his mother, glaring angrily at Xu Wen with eyes full of deep-seated hatred.
"Speak! Did you hurt your cousin?" Xu Wen shouted sternly.
Xu Chen shook his head and said, "Of course not, I'm just a minor martial artist! My cousin has already reached the Martial Master realm!"
"Who else could it be but you! You've always held a grudge against Zhu'er for taking a bone from your mother, haven't you!"
The First Madam glared with eyes wide open, like a tigress.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen was filled with resentment and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked Xu Wen, "Does Father still care about me and Mother?"
"You unfilial son, how dare you speak to me like that?"
Xu Wenfei kicked Xu Chen, sending him sprawling on the ground, crimson blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Xu Chen lay on the ground without saying a word, staring at his adoptive father with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Wen seemed a little guilty and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a childish girl's voice, "You're not allowed to bully big brother!"
With a loud bang, Xu Wen was kicked away by Xiao Ling'er before he could even react.
Then look at that adorable little girl, who's barely taller than a person's leg, who appeared out of nowhere, hands on her hips, looking as fierce as an ox.
This scene left the Xu family members dumbfounded.
Keep in mind that Xu Wen was a powerful expert at the half-step Martial Emperor level, yet he was kicked away by a tiny baby.
"Little Ling'er, don't worry about it, this is our family matter."
Fearing that Xiao Ling'er would become the target of everyone's criticism, Xu Chen hurriedly struggled to get up and protect her behind him.
Seeing that his injuries were serious, Xiao Ling'er immediately took out a small medicine bottle from her spatial ring, poured out two pills that emitted a radiant glow, and handed them to the injured mother and son. "Big brother, big sister, here, eat a piece of candy and the pain will go away."
sugar?
Whose candy is so colorful and exudes such an unimaginable medicinal fragrance?
"This is a sacred elixir!"
An old man in the crowd cried out in surprise, and instantly everyone stared intently at the medicine bottle in Xiao Ling'er's hand.
The characteristic of the Holy Pill is that it possesses a dazzling array of sacred medicinal essence; it's absolutely genuine.
"A sacred pill?" Little Ling'er was stunned. "These are candies that Father specially made for Ling'er."
Xiao Ling'er wasn't lying. Chen Futu improved the taste of the pills. According to Fu Shuang, pills should be both delicious and effective. Only those who are well-versed in this can be called masters of alchemy. However, those old fogies on Dan Mountain only know how to study the properties of medicines, and the taste of their pills is extremely bad.
Under the greedy gazes of the Xu family, the Second Madam and Xu Chen took the medicine, and their injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the Second Madam's Dao injuries were significantly restored, and her energy and spirit were largely replenished.
So Little Ling'er really does have a bottle of holy pills, and they're even strawberry flavored...
Little Ling'er cried out in her babyish voice, "Father said that we can't eat too many candy beans. Although they can improve our cultivation, they are bad for our foundation. So Ling'er only eats Qi-boosting candy beans."
The so-called Vitality Candy Beans are pills that specifically replenish true energy. They do not improve cultivation but only replenish depleted power. They are also "candies" that Chen Futu specially researched for his little darling.
"I know, it was that brat who did it, she hurt my son!"
The First Madam suddenly cried out, and only then did everyone realize what was happening.
That's right, this little girl is too strong. She can kick Xu Wen away with one kick. Her strength is far above that group of teenagers.
Little Ling'er said in her sweet, childish voice, "It wasn't Ling'er who did it. That bad guy bit off his own tongue because he was craving meat."
Her sweet and adorable words made Chen Futu burst into laughter. As expected of his daughter, she could drive anyone crazy.
Moreover, what this adorable little baby said makes a lot of sense. How could someone so young cut out someone's tongue?
