Little Taotie originally intended to intercept the sleeve arrow, but the design of the sleeve arrow was ingenious, extremely fast, with a very small shaft, making it hard to block.
Blood oozed from Zhuge Xunming's arm, not much.
Zhuge Xunming covered his wound and tried to walk towards Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan, but after just two steps, he fell straight down.
The woman caught her son.
Zhuge Xunming was much taller than typical nine-year-old children, but he was still a child, and the woman could still half drag, half carry him away.
Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan wanted to stop her, but the woman unexpectedly pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Zhuge Xunming's neck, "Don't come closer, or I'll kill him!"
Little Taotie was stunned, not expecting her to use Zhuge Xunming to threaten people.
She thought this person truly treated Zhuge Xunming as her son, never expecting that at the critical moment, she'd act this way—utterly unbelievable.
