Luring Out an Exquisite Beauty

During the time when the original body was carrying the pregnancy, she lived here, in the accommodation arranged by Gu Lingxue.

She had lived here with gratitude and anticipation, but little did she know that before the child could be born, Gu Lingxue had someone cut open her belly and take away her baby.

That child... had just entered this world. If such a thing hadn't happened, he would have grown up to be a beautiful and lively little boy, just like Xiaonan. He would have had a wonderful life ahead of him.

Gu Qingluan retrieved the prepared items from her storage ring and placed them on the ground one by one.

Then she took a jug of wine and poured three cups, arranging them on the ground.

"Xiaonan is now five years old. He is clever and talented, skilled in alchemy and knowledgeable in formations. He is a little genius. If you have awareness in the afterlife, you can rest assured," Gu Qingluan spoke solemnly.

"Rest assured, the person who caused your death and the death of our child, I will make sure she pays her blood debt!" she declared fiercely.

Tilting the wine jug, Gu Qingluan poured the wine onto the ground.

After the ceremony was concluded, she collected all the ritual items back into her storage ring, turned around, and departed.

As she walked halfway, Gu Qingluan suddenly halted and changed her direction, swiftly moving towards another path.

Within the dense forest.

"Little boy, there are many wild beasts here. They could swallow you whole. Aren't you afraid?" A gentle-looking woman crouched in front of a four or five-year-old boy.

The boy had exquisite features, with a pair of purple-black eyes that shimmered like water. His small face was smooth and fair like porcelain, and his lips were naturally rosy. He wore an exquisite white robe, resembling a celestial child who had strayed into the mortal realm.

This was truly a precious find!

Even more remarkable than the child they had stolen earlier today. They could fetch a good price for him in the black market!

Feng Yuanxi, expressionless, looked at her and replied, "I'm not afraid."

The woman was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Even if you're not afraid, your father will worry. We have a carriage. Shall we take you back to the city?"

Yuanxi glanced at the carriage behind him, where a shifty-looking man sat at the front.

The man kept his head lowered and did not say a word.

"Little boy, it's getting dark. Let's give you a ride. There's hot tea and snacks in the car. You can fill your stomach and take a nap. When you wake up, you'll see your father," the woman continued to coax him.

"You're not lying to me?" He tilted his head.

"Of course not, why would I lie to a child? I have a daughter who's your age. She's in the car. You can get to know her."

"Alright." Yuan Xi nodded.

It was a success!

The woman and the man exchanged glances. Their faces filled with ecstasy. Children were indeed so gullible. With a casual coaxing, they would follow.

"Good child, let's go." The woman reached out to hold his hand.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes. Just as he was about to dodge, he suddenly heard a gust of wind by his ear.

The woman beside him cried out in pain and covered her hand, looking around in panic. "Who hit me?"

Rustle! Rustle!

The sound of footsteps grew closer, gradually approaching the group.

In the dim light of the forest, a slender and tall figure emerged, revealing a face that captivated everyone's attention.

Dressed in pristine white garments, with dark hair like ink, she was a woman of unparalleled beauty!

The two adults and the child were all taken aback, their eyes fixed on her in awe.

The man sitting in the carriage couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes shining with desire as he stared at her.

What incredible luck they had today! Not only did they come across a young celestial child, but they also managed to entice an exquisite beauty!

The woman noticed the lecherous gaze in the man's eyes and inwardly sneered. When she looked at Gu Qingluan, her eyes revealed a mix of jealousy and malevolence.

What a stunning beauty! Beautiful women commanded a high price. She could sell her to those influential figures who enjoyed the company of attractive young girls, securing a life of comfort and luxury for herself!
