Chapter 109 - 9: Save the Little BoyChapter 109: Save the Little Boy
Chao Bai glanced at the little boy who was still unconscious on the ground. “What should we do with him?”
Kong Rui went forward to check on the little boy and confirmed that he had only fainted because his body was too weak.
“Strange, the demonic energy on his body seems to be dissipating,” Kong Rui said in confusion.
Chao Bai reached out and gently grabbed the little boy’s wrist. After a while, he said, “It’s indeed dissipating. It seems that the demonic energy in his body didn’t come from his body. Someone deliberately tainted him with demonic energy.”
“In that case, it’s very likely that Zi Xuan did it!” Kong Rui tried to inject spiritual energy into the little boy’s body to wake him up.
“I’m afraid that Zi Xuan has some ties with the Li family,” Chao Bai said in a low voice, his tone firm.

Chao Bai leaned over and placed his hand on the little boy’s chest to examine it carefully. “You have to wait until the demonic energy dissipates. The demonic energy is still controlling his heart meridians at the moment, so your spiritual energy won’t be able to enter.”
“Oh…” Kong Rui was a little disappointed, but then she recalled the topic just now. “You just said that Zi Xuan has some ties with the Li family?”
“This demonic energy is very similar to the demonic energy in the Li family. Don’t you think so?” Chao Bai looked at Kong Rui with a confused expression.
Kong Rui frowned slightly and said after a moment, “Perhaps! This demonic energy feels different from the demonic energy in the Demon Abyss. It’s probably produced by another type of power.”
Chao Bai pondered over it after he heard Kong Rui’s words.
After a while, the little boy suddenly coughed lightly, as if he was about to wake up.
Kong Rui injected spiritual power into the little boy’s heart again. As expected, the little boy woke up in a few seconds.
“Where is this? I want to go home…” The little boy immediately pursed his lips when he saw the unfamiliar environment and the two of them. He almost burst into tears.
Kong Rui hurriedly asked, “Where’s your home? How were you captured by that woman?”
The little boy looked at Kong Rui and when saw that she had no intention of hurting him, he sat up timidly, but he didn’t answer Kong Rui’s question. He only stared at her with tears in his eyes.
Kong Rui knew that the little boy was afraid, so she softened her tone and asked again, “This is the forest outside the Imperial Capital. Do you still remember where your home is?”
“Tell us where your home is and we’ll send you back, okay?” Kong Rui asked again.
The little boy seemed to hesitate.
After a while, he looked up and asked, “Can you take me to Fragrant Garden?”
Hearing the little boy’s words, Kong Rui and Chao Bai were stunned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKong Rui asked in surprise, “Your home is in Fragrant Garden?”
“My mother is a washerwoman in Fragrant Garden. I grew up there.” The little boy nodded heavily and told Kong Rui about himself.
Kong Rui and Chao Bai exchanged looks. Then, Kong Rui said softly, “I can’t send you back to Fragrant Garden for the time being. There are still some things that haven’t been settled over there.”
“How about I bring you back tonight?” Kong Rui immediately suggested when she saw that the little boy was about to cry.
When the little boy heard Kong Rui’s words, he tilted his head and asked, “Really?”
Kong Rui nodded heavily and reached out gently to hook the little boy’s fingers. “I promise you.”
The little boy looked at Kong Rui deeply before finally believing her.
However, before that, Kong Rui still had some questions for the little boy.
“Why were you captured by that woman? What was she planning to do?” Kong Rui looked at the little boy and asked seriously.
The little boy seemed confused. He thought about it seriously before he shook his head. “I don’t know what she was going to do. That night, she asked me to bring her some fruit. I lost consciousness after I entered the room. The next day, I woke up and heard my mother crying. Only then did I realize that I was hung on a pillar outside and surrounded by people. But at that time, I couldn’t say a single word. I couldn’t scream even if I wanted to.”
