Chapter 1148 The Flute Player

Facing Murong Dies questioning, Liu Yi was relatively calm, while w.a.n.g Lele blushed.

Perhaps some of Leles powers have awakened, Liu Yi said nonchalantly. Each of us has some potential for cultivation. Who knows, maybe one day youll awaken too.

Really?

Murong Die was somewhat skeptical. Was Liu Yi telling the truth?

Of course! Dont you want to awaken someday?

Well, I do

Murong Die was a little envious of Leles powers. It was like having a modern-day superwoman, looking strong and powerful.

Lele, focus on your breathing, and try to slowly control your power, Liu Yi instructed.

But but these things feel so fragile like theyll shatter if I touch them

Yes, but so are ceramics and paper, Liu Yi reminded her. Imagine everything is as delicate as porcelain or paper. With such a gentle approach, they wont break when you touch them.

Ill give it a try

w.a.n.g Lele took a deep breath, her chest swelling as she steadied herself. She slowly reached out and gently touched another table nearby. This time, the table remained intact, unharmed.

Woo-hoo I did it

w.a.n.g Lele began to control her power. As she stepped on the floor, there were no footprints left behind.

Im not the queen of destruction anymore! Woo-hoo

w.a.n.g Lele excitedly said.

Congratulations, Comrade w.a.n.g Lele! You did it! Liu Yi shook w.a.n.g Leles hand. You didnt let the party and the people down!

Come on, stop it, Murong Die rolled her eyes at Liu Yi. Dont tease Lele like that. Youre not a national leader. Lele, lets go find a place to eat after we finish shopping.

Okay I want to eat spicy crab

w.a.n.g Lele, who had just gained her powers, was a bit hungry. She patted her flat stomach and said.

Alright, lets go eat spicy crab.

The girls were never picky about food, whether it was a high-end or low-end restaurant. The four of them left the private room and went to the manager to tally the damages, then compensated accordingly.

For Murong Die, this was a trivial matter.

As they walked out of the store, they noticed a female staff member anxiously standing at the entrance, trying to hail a taxi.

But it was rush hour, and all the taxis were full.

The staff member tried for a long time but couldnt get a taxi, and she was sweating with anxiety.

Liu Yi stepped forward and said, You wont be able to get a taxi at this time. You should take the bus instead.

I cant, taking the bus would be too slow!

The saleswoman, probably in her thirties and quite pretty, replied, My daughter is about to finish kindergarten, and Ill be late if I dont pick her up now.

Liu Yi looked back at Murong Die and the others, and the girls nodded in unison.

Lets go. Well give you a ride, Liu Yi offered. Our car is parked in the parking lot.

Oh, I really cant impose like that!

The saleswoman knew that these people were wealthy and probably wouldnt harm her. However, she still felt embarra.s.sed about taking advantage of their car.

Its fine. Were just being helpful like Lei Feng, Liu Yi laughed. w.a.n.g Lele took the initiative to pull the saleswoman along with them to the parking lot.

The saleswoman, anxious to see her daughter, reluctantly got into the car.

I had to cover for a coworker today, otherwise I would have left earlier, she explained as she got into the car. By the way, my name is Chen Hong. Thank you for helping me today. If it werent for you, my daughter would have had to wait a long time.

Sister Chen, dont mention it. We have a car, so its convenient, w.a.n.g Yuzheng replied with her sweet voice, still wearing her sungla.s.ses to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

You guys are so kind-hearted. Ill introduce my daughter to you later. Shes four years old, very well-behaved, and the apple of our eyes!

Uh-huh, Im looking forward to meeting this little friend, w.a.n.g Lele chimed in. I really like children!

Then you should work hard and have a baby with your brother Yi! Murong Die teased, causing w.a.n.g Lele to stomp her foot in embarra.s.sment, making the car shake violently.

Lele! Calm down! Liu Yi, covered in cold sweat, reminded her. Little Die, dont tease Lele all the time. Shes not someone you can mess with now

I I forgot Murong Die wiped the sweat off her forehead, thinking to herself that Lele had become too powerful to mess with. Lele, knowing she had caused trouble, blushed and lowered her head, not daring to say a word.

Chen Hong, unaware of what had happened, looked at these wealthy people curiously.

They seemed quite different from the other wealthy people she had encountered before, both warm-hearted and somewhat odd

Were there some peculiar individuals among the wealthy?

Following Chen Hongs directions, Liu Yi continued driving.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the kindergarten, a cute little girl stood waiting for her mother.

Hong Hong, why isnt your mom here yet?

The kindergarten teacher squatted down beside the little girl and asked, Wheres your mom?

She might be busy; shell be here soon! the little girl replied, her voice soft and tender.

Ah, Hong Hong is such a good girl, the teacher couldnt help but stroke Hong Hongs hair.

Just then, a man approached, playing a flute. Several children trailed behind him, their eyes vacant, mechanically following the man.

Hong Hong shuddered, her eyes becoming blank as she stumbled toward the man.

Hong Hong! The teacher, shocked, tried to stop the little girl. But the man glanced at her, and she fell to the ground, unconscious.

Hong Hong joined the line of children, following the man as they left the street.

Shortly after they left, Liu Yis car slowly pulled up in front of the kindergarten.

Upon exiting the car, Chen Hong and the others saw many police officers at the entrance.

Whats going on? Wheres my Hong Hong? Chen Hong hurriedly asked, her face turning pale upon hearing the news.

Hong Hong is missing?

Chen Hong felt as if she were going mad; losing her daughter was worse than death!

My daughter, my daughter! Give me back my daughter! Chen Hong cried out.

The police officers tried to console her, holding her back.

Liu Yi and Murong Die couldnt help but come forward to inquire about the situation. Murong Die raised an eyebrow upon hearing the news, What? Child trafficking? How could this happen?

I heard many children have gone missing around here, w.a.n.g Lele also gathered information from a police officer. How despicable! Who could be kidnapping children? Thats so evil!

My child, my child! Chen Hong sobbed, her face soaked with tears. w.a.n.g Yuzheng had to support her to keep her from collapsing.

Dont worry, Ill help you find her, Liu Yi said, feeling very uncomfortable. Who could be so heartless, targeting these innocent children?

Dont cause any trouble! a police officer warned Liu Yi. Leave this matter to us. You can wait for news at home.

Liu Yi pulled out an identification card and showed it to the officer.

The officers demeanor changed immediately, showing respect as he saluted Liu Yi.

Liu Yi nodded, Ill take charge of this case now. Its likely not an ordinary one.

He sensed an unusual presence here, something beyond that of an ordinary person.

Understood, sir! Well leave it to you! the officer acknowledged.

The police began to rea.s.sure the others, The case has been handed over to higher authorities, and there will be results soon. Everyone can go home and wait with peace of mind!

Chen Hong grabbed Liu Yis hand, Sir, you must help, you must help!

In her eyes, wealthy people like Liu Yi were capable. She believed he would have the ability to help.

Liu Yi nodded and comforted her, Dont worry, Ill definitely find them.

Although Liu Yi couldnt use his divine power to pinpoint the exact location of the child trafficker, he could sense the persons lingering aura.

As long as he followed this aura, he would surely find the culprit.

Ill go find that person; you all wait here for me, Liu Yi instructed.

No, Im going with you! Murong Die insisted. You cant just leave me behind like that!

Liu Yi was quite annoyed; this girl really knew how to create trouble.

Me too! w.a.n.g Yuzheng chimed in. You always leave us behind. Were not children, we can protect ourselves!

Yeah, yeah, Ive even learned self-defense for women! Murong Die boasted, causing Liu Yi to feel overwhelmed.

Please What use is womens self-defense in this situation? This is not a joke!

Ha, cant you even protect us? Murong Die challenged Liu Yi.

Who says I cant? Fine, come along! Liu Yi felt like he had fallen for their provocation, but then again, he was indeed capable of protecting them.

Great! Murong Die and w.a.n.g Yuzheng high-fived each other, while w.a.n.g Lele could only watch the commotion.

I I want to go too! Chen Hong added, I must see my daughter, I beg you!

Liu Yi reluctantly agreed, Alright, everyone get in the car.

At this critical moment, he had no other choice. Whether it was one sheep or two, it didnt matter if there was an extra person.

The group got into the car, and Liu Yi slowly started the engine.

Liu Yi faintly saw a dark line stretching out in front of him. He followed this path in the car, chasing the culprit into the distance.

Meanwhile, little Hong Hong followed the man into a mysterious factory.

Inside the factory were many nutrient tanks. Hypnotized, Hong Hong walked into one of the tanks.

Beside her were numerous nutrient tanks, each containing a child.

Many of the children had already changed in appearance, their skin turning green and scales forming on their bodies.

My little darlings The rise of the empire depends on you!
