Chapter 129 Waking Up
But what is the reality? As someone with over thirty years of memories from his previous life, Xiao Yan's actions can only be described as vulgar and shameless! Moreover, he is not an ignorant child who doesn't know the consequences of his actions. On the contrary, he is completely using his body to cover up his dirty thoughts deep inside.
Besides, his excuse was even more ridiculous: using Dou Qi to nourish Gu Xun'er's body. Isn't that laughable? Even if he really wanted to help Xun'er, he couldn't do that. Doesn't he know the difference between men and women?
Moreover, he still has the memories of his past life. Doesn't he know what's wrong with what he's doing? Of course he knows, but he still did it anyway, so all of this can be seen as him being a scoundrel!
Besides, Xiao Yan was only four years old at the time and had just begun to cultivate. Putting aside whether he had actually cultivated Dou Qi or not, even if he had, it would only be at the first level of Dou Qi, or at most the second level. But with only the second level of Dou Qi, how could he possibly nourish his body?
Moreover, given his strength at the time, it would have been impossible for him to separate his Dou Qi from his body and control it to nourish Xun'er's body. Even ordinary Dou Zhes couldn't achieve that! Therefore, the claim of nourishing her body was a complete lie fabricated by Xiao Yan to cover up his evil deeds!
It's just a pity that Gu Xun'er is still unaware of this. The young and ignorant girl was tricked into marrying the cunning Xiao Yan and became loyal to him.
However, things have indeed changed this time. With this incident, Xun'er's attitude towards Xiao Yan will naturally change.
"He was just tied to a tree, so didn't Uncle Xiao Zhan want to rescue Xiao Yan?" Gu Xun'er asked the question that had been on her mind.
"Clan Chief Xiao Zhan wanted to rescue Xiao Yan, but the mysterious expert seemed to have anticipated all of this. He used his fighting spirit to condense a chain and tied Xiao Yan to the tree. This chain was extremely strong, and even Xiao Zhan could not break it with all his might. Moreover, the tree and the paper on the tree with Xiao Yan's 'evil deeds' written on it could not be destroyed."
"What about Elder Ling?" Xun'er asked again.
"Ling Ying is incompetent and unable to break it."
Hearing Ling Ying's words, Gu Xun'er said thoughtfully, "I see. Can Elder Ling deduce the strength of that mysterious expert from this?"
"Forgive my incompetence, but I cannot deduce the strength of that mysterious expert from this. However, in my opinion, it is probably true that the mysterious expert was just passing through. After all, such an expert is unlikely to exist in this small Wutan City, or even in the entire Gama Empire!"
"Although I am only a Dou Huang, breaking the chains formed by a powerhouse of the same level is a piece of cake. Even if the chains were formed by a Dou Zong powerhouse, they would still be unbreakable. It would just take more time and effort. Therefore, that mysterious powerhouse is extremely powerful!"
"Is that so?" Gu Xun'er murmured. Hearing Ling Ying's reasonable analysis, she should have chosen to believe it, but for some reason, a voice in her heart told her that the mysterious expert should be in the Jia Ma Empire, or even in Wutan City!
She herself didn't believe the idea, but deep down she had a sliver of hope that it was true.
"Alright, Elder Ling, you can go now. Xun'er wants to be alone for a while." After saying that, she turned around and continued to face away from Ling Ying.
"Yes." After saying that, Ling Ying's figure disappeared.
He had finished speaking, and Xun'er didn't punish him for it, so this was the best possible outcome.
...
Meanwhile, as time went by, Xiao Yan, who was tied to the tree, gradually began to regain consciousness.
"Look, his eyes are moving, he's about to wake up!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"He's waking up!"
"I wonder what he will do if he sees himself like this."
A cacophony of sounds filled Xiao Yan's ears, making him feel like his head was about to explode.
Slowly opening his heavy eyelids, a group of figures immediately came into view. Looking at these clansmen in front of him, Xiao Yan was startled. He still thought he was in bed and hurriedly moved his arms to pull the blanket over himself.
It was this movement that made him realize something was wrong: "Why can't I move!"
"Wait, where am I? How did I get here? Why are there so many people here? Shouldn't I be in Xun'er's room?"
Thinking of this, he immediately perked up. Looking down, he was shocked to find himself tied to a tree, completely naked!
If this were an ordinary child, he might only be afraid of being trapped and tied to a tree, rather than worrying about being naked. But Xiao Yan is no ordinary child. Faced with this situation, his sense of shame was about to burst!
Not only were they tied to the tree naked, but they were also seen by their tribesmen. This was utterly shameful!
Faced with this situation, his face flushed with shame. He struggled desperately, trying to break free of the ropes binding him and leave. If he could move now, he probably would have already found a crack in the ground to crawl into and escape this world, this place that had brought him to his death.
After struggling for a long time, he found that his actions had no effect. Instead, his arms and body were rubbed red from the friction with the rope during the struggle, and some places even had faint blood seeping out, causing him to feel a stinging pain.
"Father, First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, please save me! What's going on?!" Xiao Yan cried out anxiously as he looked at Xiao Zhan and the others who remained unmoved in the crowd.
He didn't understand what had happened, why he was tied to the tree, or why his usually loving father was so indifferent to it all, even with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
After all, they were blood relatives, and he was still his own child. Seeing Xiao Yan's behavior, Xiao Zhan's heart softened. He quickly stepped forward and said to Xiao Yan, who was tied to the tree, "Child, please be patient for a while. Father is not able to free you. When the time comes, the ropes on you will naturally be loosened."
