Who Stole My Eggs?

Even though Xie Zuo was mentally prepared, he was also shocked by the tragic situation in the Earth Temple.

Corpses piled up like mountains in the dirty and cramped earth temple, mosquitoes and flies flew everywhere, and the fear and resentment of the dead seemed to linger in the air, making it extremely suffocating.

Xie Zuo picked up the little corpse on top and carefully wiped the blood off his face. This was a little boy, estimated to be no more than six years old. Xie Zuo remembered him. In the evening, he was still trying to eat steamed buns at the door of the inn, and almost choked to death.

Xie Zuo gently put him aside and closed his wide-open eyes.

He picked up another child. This child was the same as the one before. The fatal wound was on his neck. His young neck was almost completely severed by a sharp weapon.

Huo Yao and Princess Lin stepped forward, silently picked up the little corpses, closed their eyes, arranged their clothes, and then gently placed them on the open space outside.

These little corpses were all the little beggars who surrounded them today. They were so weak and had no power to resist the perpetrators. The executioner cut off their necks one by one like melons and vegetables, and then threw them together like garbage.

Strong anger surged in Xie Zuo’s heart. When he picked up the last child, he saw that he was still protecting two dead little girls. His anger reached its peak, “Who is so cruel like a beast? I want to kill him!”

This child was the one who gave Princess Lin the jade pendant. Maybe it was because he was the tallest, or maybe he knew some kung fu. He had one more wound than others, and his heart was also stabbed.

After all the children’s bodies were removed, the bottom one was revealed.

This was the body of an adult man, with all his limbs broken off and as thin as a bone. The brocade robe on his body was so dirty that it turned black and the original color could not be seen.

Princess Lin, who had been crying silently, saw him and fell to his knees with a plop.

Lei Ya leaned over and smelled it, then called “meow” twice.

“He is the owner of the jade pendant,” Xie Zuo asked Princess Lin, “Who is he?”

Princess Lin crawled over on his knees, hugged the man’s body, and cried bitterly: “He is Xiao Shu, he is Xiao Shu, woo, he is my best friend.”

Why did the person he loved become like this!

Xiao Shu was the white moonlight in Princess Lin’s heart, and it was also a little secret that he had been careful not to reveal to outsiders.

Princess Lin knew that he was different from normal people, and approaching others rashly may harm them. Even so, just because he glanced at Xiao Shu twice during the birthday ceremony, his brother Yuzhao was keenly aware of it, and Xiao Shu was sent to his palace the next day. After that, the talented young master of the Shan family, disappeared and was appeared as Xiao Shu, Princess Lin’s personal eunuch.

Princess Lin knew that Xiao Shu hated him, but there was nothing he could do. He himself was a caged bird, how could he give freedom to others.

After finally getting a marriage for himself, he tricked his father into believing that he would poison Prince Yunzhao and asked a decree for Xiao Shu to let him go home and restore his identity. With Princess Lin’s letter of recommendation, he could be an official in any department.

Why did he die so miserably here?

Princess Lin received a letter from Xiao Shu half a month ago…

.

It suddenly started raining outside. As Princess Lin cried more and more, the rain became heavier and heavier.

Xie Zuo punched the door and cursed: “Hey, who make this rain? You’re going to destroy these little brats!”

He hurriedly pulled Huo Yao to move the children’s bodies back into the temple, but the rain stopped suddenly.

Xie Zuo looked up at the sky, “It’s strange, Tiandi is so good today?”

Huo Yao glanced at Princess Lin who had wiped his tears and reminded Xie Zuo, “Don’t be rude to Tiandi. The wind, snow, clouds, and rain everywhere are governed by their own laws. They are not dictated by Tiandi.”

Xie Zuo rolled his eyes, and he was not in the mood to argue with him at the moment. Anyway, Huo Yao had always unconditionally trusted and admired Tiandi and did not allow anyone to say anything bad about him.

World? Rule? Ah! These deities were really arrogant.

These deities who reincarnated as human would return to heaven after their death. If they failed their tasks, they would be embarrassed. But they were still a deity who controlled wind and rain.

What about the ordinary humans who were innocently involved in this battle? What mistakes did they make to become cannon fodder in this troubled world? Especially these children, they were all innocent, but they died tragically here!

Xie Zuo felt the energy and blood in his body surge violently. This feeling made him feel sick and depressed. It seemed that he had felt this way before. That time…

Huo Yao suddenly lowered his head and kissed Xie Zuo’s forehead. Such a touch, Xie Zuo discovered that his lips were cold.

Xie Zuo was excited, “Are you okay? Why are you so cold?”

Huo Yao patted his heart again, “Concentrate and clear your heart.”

Only then did Xie Zuo realize that it was not Huo Yao who was cold, but his own body. It was too hot.

Huo Yao’s kiss soothed him, and the Qingxin spell placed on his heart also soothed his surging blood. Xie Zuo rested on Huo Yao’s shoulder for a while and finally calmed down completely.

Xie Zuo was the demon king after all, and when he encountered a place filled with resentment, the brutal and murderous nature of demons could easily be drawn out. Fortunately, Huo Yao had been able to suppress him for so many years.

.

Princess Lin checked the sword wounds on the children one by one. The more he checked, the more frightened he became. Later, his face turned pale and he sat on the ground unable to get up.

Xie Zuo sighed, “You recognized it, this poor child.”

Xie Zuo walked over to help Princess Lin, and suddenly, Huo Yao’s figure passed by like the wind.

When Xie Zuo looked up, Huo Yao had already succeeded.

Huo Yao’s kung fu had always been the same as his character, clean and neat, without any sloppiness. He always struck with a killer move and never missed.

Huo Yao caught someone, an old acquaintance of Xie Zuo and Princess Lin.

The man was dressed in night clothes and had a hood on his face, leaving only a pair of sharp and indifferent eyes.

“Mengzhao, what were you doing sneaking around here?” Xie Zuo stepped forward and lifted the hood off the man’s face.

This person was none other than Xie Zuo’s classmate at Nanguo Academy, the former crown prince of Mengzhao Kingdom and the current leader of the country, Mengzhao.

Seeing Mengzhao’s true appearance, even Huo Yao took a second look.

Mengzhao was a completely cold beauty, with an elegant and earthly temperament, delicate facial features, cold temperament, and few words. When he was in the academy, Xie Zuo had never seen him wearing anything other than white clothes. Seeing him dressed in black now, it felt weird no matter how he looked at him.

Mengzhao and Wuzhao had always been inseparable. The two grew up together, and even ate and slept together in the academy. They had a very close relationship.

The Mengzhao Kingdom was in the northernmost part of the Southern Kingdom, adjacent to the Wuzhao Kingdom. The two mountain ranges of Wuzhao and Mengzhao were closely connected to each other, just like the relationship between the two crown princes.

Yunzhao Kingdom and Yuzhao Kingdom were in the southernmost part of the Southern Kingdom, thousands of miles away from them. It was really suspicious for Mengzhao to come here by himself.

Mengzhao expected that he might be discovered by Xie Zuo and the others, but he didn’t expect that he had no power to fight back and was captured alive by Huo Yao.

Seeing that his identity had been revealed, his expression was still cold and he said softly: “I didn’t kill him, let me go.”

Xie Zuo he rubbed his hands and said: “You said you didn’t kill him, is there other people except you in here? Another person who killed them? Who believes it!”

Mengzhao sneered and stopped explaining: “Forget it if you don’t believe it.”

Xie Zuo glared at Huo Yao, “Don’t you think he looks a bit like you?”

Huo Yao didn’t respond to Xie Zuo’s unreasonable accusations.

Xie Zuo showed a cruel smile and said, “Little beauty, now that you have fallen into my hands, you have to follow my rule!”
