Chapter 1407: Chapter 708. Baobao is in Danger (1)
Chapter 708
“We’ll know by tonight!” Di Chen said with a smile to Baobao.
After exchanging a glance with Mo Xiaoye, both were secretly on guard. Such occurrences were, after all, quite rare. The midnight screams that somehow remained undetected were simply impossible. As soon as they entered the city, they could clearly feel that Sunset City was not lacking in experts. Even if these experts weren’t as strong as the two of them, they were still formidable. How could they possibly fail to notice…?
However, judging by the way these people talk, it didn’t seem fake. This could only mean that there was something eerie about these screams. It was alright if they suffered, but they must ensure that nothing happened to their treasure…
After the grandfather-grandson trio finished their meal, they returned to their room to rest. No matter where they traveled, they always stayed together in one room. Only Baobao needed to sleep; Di Chen and Mo Xiaoye didn’t require sleep every day…
Therefore, when Baobao was sleeping, Di Chen and Mo Xiaoye sat to the side, playing chess and chatting…
Night fell, and a terrible scream pierced the air. Di Chen and Mo Xiaoye exchanged glances, and after a look at the peaceful Baobao, both simultaneously acted, creating a protective shield around Baobao to prevent the screams from awakening him…
About one hour later, Baobao suddenly opened his eyes, looking somewhat vacant, and without a glance at Di Chen and Mo Xiaoye, got out of bed, opened the door, and walked out…
Meanwhile, Di Chen and Mo Xiaoye, engrossed in their chess game and conversation, completely failed to notice Baobao leaving, as if they had entirely forgotten about him…
Just as Baobao reached the hall. Many people were still awake, drinking and chatting—unable to sleep nor cultivate properly due to the nightly sounds, they simply chose to sit in the restaurant’s hall and talk…
Walking out with Baobao were two beautiful twin brothers, who seemed a few years older than Baobao, at most not over ten years of age…
No one noticed the appearance of the three children, including Baobao; it was as if they were air…
Following behind the twin brothers, Baobao walked on with a vacant gaze. Suddenly, an invisible white light emerged from Baobao, streaking swiftly into his room and directly entering the foreheads of Di Chen and Mo Xiaoye…
Xiaobai had been anxiously calling for Baobao, but to no avail as Baobao couldn’t hear its voice at all. That’s why it was trying to figure out how to break the illusion cast by Di Chen and Mo Xiaoye, hoping to wake them up quickly to rescue Baobao…
In the blink of an eye, the three children arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion. From various parts of the city, around 20-plus children were brought to the Second Floor, tied up and dumped together, sharing the common trait of vacant eyes, resembling wooden puppets…
Back at the inn, Di Chen and Mo Xiaoye were struck by two white lights and seemed to be frozen in place; Di Chen holding a chess piece still in midair, and Mo Xiaoye with a frown staring at the chessboard…
Xiaobai’s divine sense kept shouting in their minds, “Wake up, wake up,” and Di Chen’s expression changed slightly, his frown indicating his confusion about the voice…
“Master, please wake up quickly, Baobao is in danger!”
“Ancestor, please wake up quickly, Baobao is in danger!”
As Xiaobai kept calling out, it was only when dawn was approaching that the two gradually came to their senses.
Di Chen exclaimed in shock, “What’s happened to Baobao?”
