Smelting copper must die

“Little girl, aren’t you tired?”

“Big brother here has some tasty treats. Just call me ‘Big Brother,’ and I’ll give you one.”

“Little girl, how many people are there in your family? To have given birth to such an adorable child, your parents must be a pair of talented and beautiful people.”

“Little girl…”

Deep within the primeval forest.

Ye Xiaoxi walked ahead, leading the way, while Mo Xian followed behind her, chattering incessantly and fussing over her. With his repulsive appearance, he looked exactly like a child trafficker.

He had practically asked her everything there was to ask.

How many people were in her family, where she lived, what flavor of candy she liked, where she usually went to play… Anyone who didn’t know better might have thought he was conducting a household census.

“Mm… yeah…”

As she searched for the surrounding Mo clan members, Ye Xiaoxi gave perfunctory answers to Mo Xian’s questions.

Under her perception, aside from the group of Mo clan members following behind her, more members of the clan were continuously converging from other directions.

Ye Xiaoxi’s eyes flickered.

She had thought she’d merely caught a petty thief. She never expected to have stirred up an entire hornet’s nest.

She glanced at Mo Xian behind her.

That disgusting man had been fawning over her ever since the beginning, and the sickening adoration in his eyes was practically spilling over.

She was indeed innocent, adorable, and impossibly cute.

It was an undeniable fact that any normal creature would naturally feel fondness for her.

But Mo Xian’s infatuation had clearly crossed a certain line.

And that was exactly the case.

The Mo clan members following them were looking at the adorable Ye Xiaoxi with sympathetic eyes. They communicated quietly through divine sense, their tones carrying a hint of pity.

“The captain’s old habits are acting up again. He can’t take his eyes off a pretty little girl.”

“That little girl last time was the same…”

“That guy’s got some nerve. He even dared to make a move on a child from the main branch. After someone found out, he was exiled to this remote borderland to carry out missions. Consider it a way to lie low and avoid trouble.”

“Who would’ve thought… he still hasn’t been able to shake that disgusting habit.”

Several Mo clan members secretly conversed through divine sense, completely unaware that Ye Xiaoxi had intercepted every word and heard it all clearly.

Hidden within her acupoints were tiny deities.

Every acupoint deity possessed its own special ability. The deity within the Yifeng acupoint specialized in intercepting this kind of divine-sense communication.

“Heh…”

Ye Xiaoxi snorted inwardly and cast a cold glance at Mo Xian behind her.

“I knew there was no way this guy was being nice out of the goodness of his heart. Sure enough, he’s a pedophile!”

“Mother told me before.”

“Pedophiles are the most disgusting, evil, and despicable creatures in the world.”

Meanwhile.

When Ye Xiaoxi glanced at him, Mo Xian’s heart nearly melted.

He had to admit that she was the most beautiful, adorable, and exquisite child he had ever seen. Her cheeks were so tender they seemed as though one could squeeze water from them, while her lively eyes and the playful curve of her lips from time to time all possessed the innocence unique to children.

If he could be with this little girl, he would definitely change all his bad habits for her. He would laugh and cry for her, and he absolutely could not bear to harm even a single strand of her hair.

From then on, he would love only her.

“So disgusting!”

Ye Xiaoxi suppressed her revulsion and cursed inwardly, “Pedophiles must die!”
