The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

Master Ziyang sneered, looking at Mengmeng's pained expression, seemingly confident of victory.

However, just as the silk threads of the whisk touched Mengmeng's forehead,

A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from Mengmeng's body.

With a strong shockwave of spiritual energy, the Purple Sun Daoist was sent flying, along with his whisk!

"boom--"

Master Ziyang crashed heavily onto the grass, his whole body instantly convulsing.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Mengmeng with a shocked expression.

"What's this?!"

Master Ziyang's eyes widened as he raised his hand, trying to struggle to his feet, only to find that he couldn't move his body at all.

The dazzling golden light condensed into a phantom image.

It was the divine bird Bifang.

Its phantom surrounded Mengmeng, protecting her in the center, its voice filled with authority and anger, "Mengmeng is protected by destiny, how dare you, with your crooked ways, covet her?"

Those who dare to harbor evil thoughts will have to bear the consequences!

Before he finished speaking, a ripple of spiritual energy suddenly surged from the chest of the Purple Sun Daoist, as if he had been forcibly devoured by the golden light.

He screamed in agony and spat out blood again.

His body went limp, and he fainted.

"Hmph! You deserve it!"

The little white fox peeked out from behind Mengmeng and said indignantly.

"Mengmeng, let's run!!"

The power of the immobilization talisman dissipated as Master Ziyang fainted, and Mengmeng was finally able to move again.

Mengmeng also knew that this was a good opportunity to escape.

She quickly wiped away her tears, picked up Little White, and staggered off the grass.

"Mengmeng, walk towards the woods!"

Little White urged anxiously, "We'll be safe if we hide in the woods!"

Mengmeng gritted her teeth, carrying Xiaobai as she ran, glancing back at the unconscious Ziyang Daoist. She couldn't help but feel afraid.

Her voice trembled as she asked, "Xiao Bai... he really won't catch up?"

Xiao Bai comforted him, "Don't worry! The protective barrier set up by Wanwansui has already injured him, and he won't be able to use any magic in the short term."

Mengmeng nodded vigorously, picked up Xiaobai, and ran into the woods, hiding behind a big tree.

She leaned against the tree trunk, hugging Little White tightly, her chest heaving rapidly.

She was still shaken by the near-death experience.

"Thank goodness for Long Live the Emperor..."

She spoke softly, her eyes reddening, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Brothers, please come and get me..."

Soon,

Gu Shiyu led Lu Rongsheng and Xie Beiling to the edge of the meadow.

Upon seeing Mengmeng crouching beside the big tree, Gu Shiyu abruptly stopped in his tracks.

His face instantly turned cold, and deep in his eyes, he couldn't hide his worry.

"Mengmeng!"

Gu Shiyu quickly stepped forward, knelt down, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

His voice was low but tinged with anxiety, "Are you hurt? Are you alright?"

Lu Rongsheng followed closely behind, and seeing that she was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mengmeng, where did you suddenly go? We were so scared!!"

Xie Beiling stood to the side, his face also full of worry.

Mengmeng was held tightly, her little face buried in Gu Shiyu's arms, and she said softly, "Brother, I'm fine, don't worry."

She pointed her little finger to the grass not far away, her childish voice tinged with anger.

"That evil Taoist priest kidnapped me. He knows magic and can't move!"

The three of them looked in the direction she pointed.

The Taoist Master Ziyang was lying on the grass, his chest was dark red, and his breath was weak, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious injuries.

Gu Shiyu's face instantly darkened, and his eyes revealed a cold killing intent.

He picked up Mengmeng, stood up, and his voice was so low and cold it sent chills down your spine.

“Take his hands and feet off, bring him back to his home, lock him up, and interrogate him slowly.”

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards behind him immediately stepped forward.

Before Ziyang Daoist had regained consciousness, he was dragged from the ground and stuffed into the trunk of a car.

"elder brother……"

In the car, Mengmeng nestled in Gu Shiyu's arms, her soft little face buried in his shoulder.

"Brother... I was really scared just now..."

I thought I'd never see you all again, sob sob sob…

Her voice was soft and childlike, yet filled with deep grievance, like that of a frightened kitten.

She clung to Gu Shiyu's neck, refusing to let go, her eyes glistening with tears.

When Gu Shiyu heard her words, his heart felt as if it had been violently gripped.

He looked down at her, his eyes filled with heartache, and gently patted her back, his tone incredibly tender.

"Silly girl, with your brother here, how could you not see me?"

Even if I search the entire world, I will find you.

Mengmeng looked up, her little nose twitching, her eyes red, and said, "But... I was really scared just now. That stinky Taoist priest grabbed me, looking so fierce and menacing..."

Brother, I never want to leave you again!

The guilt and heartache in Gu Shiyu's eyes grew even deeper.

He lowered his head and gently wiped away the tears on Mengmeng's face with a handkerchief, his voice as soft and gentle as if he were coaxing a fragile baby.

"It's my fault, I didn't protect you well."

"No matter where we go from now on, I'll never let you out of my sight again, okay?"

Mengmeng pouted and nodded.

She grabbed his collar tightly and said sweetly, "Brother promised!"

Gu Shiyu sighed softly and tightened his grip on her arm.

"Okay, I promise you."

No matter what happens, I will never let you leave my side.

A hint of tenderness appeared in Gu Shiyu's eyes as he held her tightly in his arms.

"What just happened? Why did that Taoist priest grab you?"

Mengmeng clutched his collar with her small hand and said softly, "That stinky Taoist priest tried to steal the Kunlun Divine Flower and even used magic to trap me, but the protective barrier left by Emperor Wanwan helped me and rebounded, injuring him."

Lu Rongsheng raised an eyebrow. Divine Flower? What is that?

Lu Rongsheng knew a little about Mengmeng's magical power. The spirit butterfly that Mengmeng gave to Gu Shiyu had become a sensation throughout the school. He wanted one too, but Gu Shiyu ruthlessly refused.

Mengmeng is amazing, she has so many magical treasures!

However, this also brought many dangers to Mengmeng...

Gu Shiyu looked down at her small face, a deep worry flashing in his eyes.

His voice was low and gentle, yet carried a hint of suppressed heaviness.

"Mengmeng, your brother is very worried about you."

Mengmeng blinked, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Brother, what are you worried about? I'm perfectly fine now, aren't I?"

"Your spiritual power has attracted the attention of bad people."

Today it's that Taoist priest, who knows who it will be tomorrow.

Your safety... has been threatened.

Mengmeng paused for a moment, her eyes flickering slightly, "Brother... I have Wanwansui to protect me, it will help me drive away bad guys."

Gu Shiyu sighed, his brows furrowed.

He tightened his arms around her, his voice filled with unease, "But it can't stay with you forever..."

Mengmeng, you're still so young. I just hope you can grow up safely and peacefully, and not get involved in all this trouble.

He paused, as if making a great decision.

"Mengmeng, when is that divine bird coming back? Brother wants to talk to it."

"Let's see if we can... seal your spiritual power and let you be an ordinary child."

Mengmeng's eyes widened instantly, "Sealing spiritual power? Brother, you can't do that!"

As Wanwansui once said, my spiritual power is very important; it says I have a certain mission.

If we don't have it, something terrible could happen!

Gu Shiyu frowned even more deeply, "But...you are my sister, and I only hope that you can grow up carefree."

I don't care about anything else.

Mengmeng hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head in disappointment.

"Brother, can you give me some time to think about it?"

Gu Shiyu gently patted her head, his tone filled with tenderness and affection, "Okay, I'll give you time."

Xie Beiling, who had been silent all along, looked at Mengmeng with a complicated expression before finally speaking, "Xiao Yu, we really need to be careful about sealing spiritual power."

Although the spiritual power within Mengmeng brings danger, it is also her protective barrier.

Without it, things are actually more likely to go wrong.

Gu Shiyu nodded, his gaze calm but concealing an unresolved worry.

"I understand, Uncle Ling..."

Xie Beiling gave a soft "hmm," then glanced down at his watch, a hint of urgency flashing in his eyes.

When Gu Shiyu called him, he had already boarded the plane, which was about to take off. But in order to find Mengmeng, he immediately returned...

Noticing his frequent checks of his watch, Gu Shiyu's expression turned slightly apologetic.

"Uncle Ling, I'm sorry to have delayed your return journey. Let's head straight back to Jiangcheng now."

Xie Beiling thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, let's go straight back to the research institute."

I hope that when Yu Mian opens her eyes, the first person she sees is me.

His tone revealed an undisguised excitement and tenderness.

Upon hearing Xie Yumin's name, Mengmeng subconsciously recalled her face, which looked exactly like Ruolan's mother.

"Uncle Ling, is Aunt Yu Mian about to wake up? I want Aunt Yu Mian to see me first too!"

Xie Beiling was amused by her and gently rubbed her little face.

"Yes, let's go together. She'll definitely like you a lot when she sees you~"

Xie Beiling's face showed great anticipation.

Yu Mian, wait for me...
