"Uncle Wu said that there would be a big reward if he caught the two of you!"
Fifth Brother?!
Emperor Quan cursed his younger brother in his heart, his arms wrapping more tightly around Zhan Se, his tone turning even colder.
"Thirteen, did you hear that? I told you to go back first. If you come over here again, you'll get a spanking."
His roared threat, as chilling as a storm, not only startled Little Thirteen but even Zhan Se jumped. She firmly grabbed his arm, shook her head at him to remind him not to be harsh with the child, and then softened her voice to call out louder.
"Thirteen, how about this, you start running back now, and Mom will come chasing after you soon, okay?"
It was unclear whether he was persuaded by her or frightened by Emperor Quan.
After a pause, Little Thirteen agreed, "Okay, then Mom, you will come after me, right?"
"Definitely!"
