Chapter 0029: She Is Not Human

A face as delicate as a painting, cold and noble.
Dressed in a purple gown, she moved like a lotus blossom, as if stepping out of a painting. Her charming eyes exuded an innate allure that captivated anyone who saw her.
In their past life, Huang Long was accustomed to seeing beauties like the Goddess Nüwa and the Queen Mother of the West, so he wasn’t particularly impressed. Bog, an old monster who had lived for over a hundred years, was also unimpressed after a brief moment of surprise. But the two kids, Huang Liang and Huang Yi, reacted excessively.
“Wow! She’s so beautiful! This sister is really pretty!” Huang Yi said, her big eyes sparkling.
“Yes, yes, even prettier than Qingqing,” Huang Liang added, his cute face turning red.
Qingqing was the youngest daughter of the head of the Anni family, one of the four major families in the Lu Tong Kingdom. Huang Liang often visited the Anni family whenever he could.
Huang Liang looked at the two kids helplessly.
An Lei approached slowly. Though her expression remained calm, the surprise in her eyes was undeniable. It turned out to be three children, with the old man seemingly just a guard. Could it be that the child in the middle had just bought that piece of Cold Essence Iron Stone? An Lei was puzzled. This trip to the Hengyuan Continent had brought her many surprises.
Huang Long also noticed her confusion. But to his astonishment, the first thing the beauty said was, “Kid, were you the one who bought that Cold Essence Iron Stone?”
Kid? Huang Long frowned but nodded anyway.
It’s true? An Lei was surprised once again.
“If you’re done, we’ll be leaving,” Huang Long said, ignoring her surprise, and turned to walk away.
At that moment, An Lei snapped out of her thoughts. Seeing them about to leave, she hurriedly said, “Wait! Kid, I’d like to ask—what do you plan to do with that Cold Essence Iron Stone?”
Another “kid”!
After spending months together, Bog knew very well that his young master hated it when people called him a child or kid. Seeing Huang Long’s expression, he stepped forward and blocked them, saying, “Miss, it seems unnecessary to tell you what my young master bought it for.” He then gave the three of them a meaningful look before following Huang Long away.
“Princess, maybe we should just take it by force,” a maid behind An Lei suggested after Huang Long and the others left.
“Take it by force? This is human territory. We’d better avoid trouble,” An Lei said thoughtfully as she watched them leave. Then she added, “That old man isn’t ordinary, and that child gives me a strange feeling.”
As for exactly why, she couldn’t explain it, but her instincts had always been accurate.

“Let’s go. We’ve been on Hengyuan Continent for some time now; it’s time to return.” Anlei finally withdrew her gaze and led her maid out of the auction house.
…
After leaving the auction house, Bog, who was following Huang Long, couldn’t help but say, “Young master, that woman… seems to be.”
Huang Long nodded and said, “Exactly. She’s not human.”
Huang Long could tell at a glance that she wasn’t human, and even Bog, as a powerful warrior from the Holy Land, had noticed something strange.
However, to Huang Long and Bog’s surprise, the two young kids, Huang Liang and Huang Yi, shouted, “I know! Second brother, that sister is a goddess!”
“A goddess is the most beautiful.”
“I’ve seen statues of the Earth Goddess, and she’s just as beautiful.”
Watching the two kids chatter on again, Huang Long shook his head and smiled.
But as soon as Huang Long and the others entered the Huang family mansion, the maid Huang Mei rushed over, looking anxious, “Second young master, something bad has happened! People from theHill family family have arrived.”
TheHill family family? Hearing this, Huang Long didn’t go back to the courtyard but headed straight for the hall.
Huang Long naturally understood that the arrival of theHill family family was related to that incident with Du Jiu.
A slight smile appeared on Huang Long’s lips. He could imagine how furious Du Luosu would be when he was taken back to theHill family family mansion by their guards.
As soon as he approached the hall, Huang Long heard a shrill voice coming from inside: “A prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as ordinary people. Huang Xiong, you’ve allowed your son to commit violence and defy the law. I advise you to hand over your son quickly, otherwise… hehe.” The threat was clear.
Inside the hall, Huang Xiong and Zhao Rong still didn’t understand what was going on. The other party had arrived claiming that their son had hurt someone and demanding that they hand over their son.
Huang Xiong said sternly, “Du Dongnan, you say my son hurt your nephew. I’d like to hear how exactly my son hurt your nephew. If you can’t explain it, well… don’t blame me if I’m harsh with you.”
Du Dongnan was speechless for a moment. When he saw his nephew Du Jiu being carried away by the guards and witnessed the terrible condition of his nephew’s buttocks, he became furious after learning what had happened. Although no one knew exactly what had occurred, he was convinced it was related to Huang Xiong’s second son, so he rushed over angrily to demand an explanation.
Du Dongnan pointed at the guards behind him and ordered, “Explain what happened at that time.”
The guard stammered and began to speak, “Yes, second master. At that time, the fourth young master encountered them at the entrance of the George Auction House. As soon as they saw him, they called him a scoundrel. Naturally, the fourth young master ignored them. But just as he was about to enter the auction house, his buttocks… suddenly caught fire for no reason.”

Du Dongnan sneered, “Huang Xiong, now do you hear clearly?”
Zhao Rong beside him laughed coldly, “Du Dongnan, this is just your word against ours. Do you really think of us as fools? My son is only six years old—how could he know magic?”
Huang Xiong’s face turned even angrier. “Do you really think just because you’re the head of the Royal City Enforcement Corps, you can arbitrarily accuse my son? Even if so, so what?”
As Huang Xiong’s aura surged, the floor beneath his feet began to crack.
Ignoring Huang Xiong’s aura, Du Dongnan chuckled and said, “Even if your son doesn’t know fire magic, he’s definitely involved in this.”
Huang Long, listening outside the hall, grew cold-hearted.
If the Du family was so defiant, did they have some backing?
Under normal circumstances, the Du family would never act like this. Even if they wanted to take it out on him, they would do it secretly. Coming here so openly without any reason was indeed puzzling.
Some backing? He, Huang Long, really wanted to see what the Du family’s real strength was.
As tension mounted in the hall, Huang Long and his men walked in.
Seeing them, both sides were stunned.
Huang Long remained silent, but the young Huang Yi spoke up first, shouting, “Father, it was that scoundrel Du who called you an old bear first. That’s why we called him names.” His childish voice carried anger.
Huang Liang also shouted, “He also called us little kids.” Being called little kids angered him too.
As Huang Yi and Huang Liang exchanged words, Huang Xiong and Zhao Rong gradually understood what had happened.
After hearing this, Huang Xiong flew into a rage. His thick brows furrowed, his eyes blazing with terrifying cold light as he glared at Du Dongnan, “You old bastard, how do you explain this?”
