Chapter 108: Why Panic So Much

[That’s strange, this scene wasn’t even in the story.]

[What exactly is going on right now?]

No matter how Yun Wan Ning thought about it, she just couldn’t figure it out. She had only taken a nap, yet upon waking, she found herself stolen away outside—it was truly baffling.

[Forget it. Since I’m here, I might as well see who’s bold enough to set their sights on me.]

[I just hope Mother won’t be frightened into fainting.]

Thinking of Madam Yun, a flicker of guilt flashed through Yun Wan Ning’s heart, though she couldn’t say why she felt guilty at all.

In the night, the group of men in black moved swiftly, while her spiritual power tracked their every move. They crossed street after street before slipping into an abandoned residence, lifting a hidden panel to reveal a tunnel, and disappearing underground. Yun Wan Ning was utterly baffled.

[Oh, so we’re going through a tunnel now?]

[Seriously, where is this place?]

[Ever since I came to this world, I’ve only gone out twice, and both times were to fixed locations. I know nothing about Haojing.]

[At this point, I can’t even recognize where we are.]

Inside the pitch-black tunnel, Yun Wan Ning’s spiritual power was unaffected. She studied the layout while muttering in her heart, though no one here could hear her heart voice.

The tunnel was narrow and long. After about twenty minutes of walking, they emerged into a spacious stone chamber. The leader stopped and turned to the others.

“By snatching this little baby girl, we’ve surely alerted Yun Zheng. The streets above are probably swarming with pursuers by now. Old Five, remove your disguise and go report to the master. The rest of us will wait here.”

His voice was hoarse and cold, clearly altered, and it grated unpleasantly in Yun Wan Ning’s ears.

[Seriously? I thought you were heading out, but you’re planning to stay here?]

[How long are we supposed to wait?]

[Are you all mice, that you love burrowing into holes so much?]

[And who exactly is this master? Come on, give me a name. Let’s see if I won’t deal with him myself.]

“Alright.”

Unaware of her thoughts, the group moved as ordered. One man removed his mask and night clothes—this must be Old Five.

Yun Wan Ning’s spiritual power immediately locked onto him. He was an ordinary-looking man with narrow eyes.

[Don’t know him. Never seen him before. Probably just a small underling.]
[Ugh, I’m so hungry. I want milk.]

She reached out to pat her flat little belly. The motion wasn’t big, but it still caught the attention of the man holding her.

He stared at her for a moment, then seemed to realize something and stammered in alarm, “B-Boss, the little girl’s awake.”

Yun Wan Ning: “…”

[Why are you panicking? I’m just a baby—what, you think I’ll eat you?]

[Just make sure you don’t drop me, or I won’t be polite.]

Swish, swish, swish!

The moment he spoke, several pairs of eyes turned to her at once, their gazes varied. The leader froze for an instant, then said calmly, “Awake or not, as long as she doesn’t cry or fuss, just leave—”

“Waaah…”

Before he could finish, the chamber rang with the piercing cry of a baby. Yun Wan Ning wailed at the top of her lungs.

[Hmph, I’ll cry if I want. Let’s see what you do now.]

[You know I’m awake and still won’t feed me? Dream on.]
