"My God, my poor child, how could you be so careless? You didn't mean to hurt anyone, why did you leave your mother all alone..."
Villagers turned their heads toward the source of the noise, and as the wailing grew closer, their faces changed when they realized who it was, and they all looked at Mo Qingze.
Mo Qingze's mind was entirely focused on his son's safety; he hadn't heard the crying at all and was oblivious to the villagers' stares.
Lixiu's nephew and Tang Xin, however, heard everything loud and clear and were filled with silent rage. They nodded to Aunt Cai and others who glanced their way before advancing toward the source of the noise.
A ferocious glint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the five creatures squatting at the doorway; Little Flower and Dabai narrowed their eyes dangerously, stood up, and followed Lixiu and the others to settle the score with the newcomers.
