Chapter 93: You have Cried in Desperation

At that moment, she suddenly remembered one thing.

Father had not come back yet.

Linking together the various events of the day, Zhu Qiu had a rough idea of what had happened to her dad.

Since the Human Race did not trust her, it was inevitable that they would target her family.

“What should I do?”

The more things piled up, the easier it was for a child like Zhu Qiu to become anxious.

This definitely could not wait.

What if the group that captured her father suddenly lost their minds and killed the hostage?

At that moment, the Sword Spirit sensed the change in Zhu Qiu’s state of mind and quickly emerged.

Looking at Zhu Qiu’s anxious expression, she asked with concern, “Don’t be so anxious. I’m sure everything can be proven clearly.”

“Oh! Sword Spirit, this isn’t the most important thing anymore!”

Zhu Qiu was so worried she felt like jumping.

“Don’t be so anxious when things happen. What could be more important than proving your innocence? Besides, weren’t you quite calm when facing Dinksway just now?”

“Facing that stinky Goblin only involved me, but now my father’s life is at stake! He hasn’t come back yet, so he must have been taken away. I want to go rescue him, but I don’t have a single piece of information. How can I not be anxious!”

“Is that so? Then that is true. Don’t worry, I will definitely help you.”

“So, Sword Spirit, do you have any good ideas?”

“No.”

“Ugh!” Zhu Qiu grew anxious again, frantically rubbing her hair until it was a messy heap.

The Sword Spirit could not stand watching her like this.

She said, “Panicking won’t help. I can only mention a method that might not be very reliable. Actually, there is a way.”

“There’s a way?”

Zhu Qiu stopped panicking.

“With your current abilities, you can use Magic.”

The Sword Spirit’s cheeks were flushed as she spoke with a smile.

She hesitated for a moment while Zhu Qiu prepared to search the Human City for clues.

“Fine, consider this a favor from this Sword Spirit. But I don’t want your dad; Wenge doesn’t like him anyway.”

“Oh yeah! That’s great!”

Seeing that there was a chance, Zhu Qiu jumped for joy, her tension and fear long forgotten.

“Then let’s head out now!”

“Okay.”

The two of them set off together.

Originally, Zhu Qiu was worried about what would happen if the clouds drifted away.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of clouds in the sky; it was a completely overcast day, which was perfect for this Magic.

But luck was only on her side in that one regard, and this bit of good fortune did not influence other aspects of her luck.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Qiu was quite unlucky.

She circled the entire Human City once, yet she found nothing.

The Sword Spirit was also quite puzzled.

Why could she not feel even a hint of Sodlan’s presence?

Unless he was imprisoned in a specially constructed facility, there should always be a slight resonance.

“Waah… Sword Spirit, what should I do? My father has been taken away, waah…”

Zhu Qiu kept searching until nightfall, but she still had nothing to show for it and cried out of anxiety.

At this moment, they were on their way back home.

“Don’t cry. There are always more solutions than problems.”

To be honest, the Sword Spirit was also getting a little anxious.

However, one could not rush these things; the more one panicked, the easier it was for things to go wrong.

She planned to stabilize Zhu Qiu’s mindset first.

“It’s already so late. Why don’t you have something to eat first? We can go back out once we’re full.”

“I think that’s a good idea.”

After arriving at Soderland’s House, Zhu Qiu turned on the living room light.

There was no one home.

The Sword Spirit simply sat on a stool to the side.

Since there were no ingredients and Zhu Qiu did not know how to cook, she could only drink Nainai for dinner.

When she walked out holding the Custom Baby Bottle sent by Zhu Xia, the Sword Spirit was extremely confused.

“It’s fine, you keep going.”

She paused.

“You’re having this for dinner?”

“Need to eat? That kind of energy replenishment is too crude for me. I collect the essence of heaven and earth, and I absorb the spiritual energy of the sun and moon to replenish my energy.”

The Sword Spirit sounded very confident.

“Well, okay then. I was going to let you have a taste, but forget it.”

Zhu Qiu began her meal.

As the Sword Spirit smelled the milky aroma in the air, a certain urge was triggered.

She suddenly felt a desire to taste it, and two swirls unconsciously appeared in her eyes.

‘I’m so fragrant… Come and taste me, Sword Spirit baby. Would you really have the heart to watch me get eaten all up by the Great Evil Dragon?’

In her daze, the milk aroma emanating from the bottle seemed to turn into a hand, gently teasing the Sword Spirit’s chin.

She shook her head vigorously and asked somewhat bashfully, “Um… can you leave a sip for me? I want to try it too.”

“Of course!”

A moment later, Zhu Qiu specifically left half the Nainai and handed the Custom Baby Bottle to the Sword Spirit.

“Here!”

“Th… Thank you.”

With a flushed face, the Sword Spirit drank carefully.

“How is it? It tastes good, right! For something to be considered delicious by me, the Sword Saint, it must be the best of the best,” Zhu Qiu said proudly.

The Sword Spirit said nothing, her head buried in the Nainai.

After finishing, she handed the bottle back.

“I want more!”

“Okay, I’ll give you some right now.”

Zhu Qiu was halfway through her sentence and had not even caught the bottle yet when the front door was suddenly kicked open violently by someone outside.

“What’s going on?!”

At that moment, the Sword Spirit performed the Disappearing Act.

Zhu Qiu was also stunned.

The Custom Baby Bottle lost its grip and fell to the floor, bouncing twice and making a crisp sound in the empty room.

‘No way. Is this a home invasion in the middle of the night? Who taught you that?’

At the doorway, a man wearing the uniform of the Royal Legion looked surprised; he was clearly one of the King’s men.

He rubbed his eyes, seemingly seeing something unbelievable.

‘Did I see that wrong? There was actually a… in Bernardos’ house?’

Zhu Qiu seemed to sense the man’s suspicion and quickly stepped forward.

“Who is it? Why are you coming to my house in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?”

The man quickly adjusted himself.

“Hello, Sword Saint. I was sent by the King to deliver a message. He is notifying you to arrive at the Palace tomorrow at 9:00 AM sharp…”
