Chapter 9: Finding the Girl

After Ye Chen finished breakfast, he picked up the white paper and hurried back to his room. Ye Nan and Lin Ruoxi saw this, both feeling puzzled, not knowing what Ye Chen intended to do.

"Eh, wife, you say that kid is acting mysterious, what is he doing?"

"What's it to you what he does, can't a child have his own private space?"

Ye Nan hearing this, instantly became unhappy, replying: "Wife, that's not what you said, I'm just concerned about him, I naturally wouldn't go prying into his secrets, but, aren't you curious what that kid is doing?"

"Not curious."

"No, wife, you are curious."

"No, I am not curious."

"You are curious!"

"Not curious."

"You......"

However, before Ye Nan could finish his next sentence, he was frightened into silence by a glance from Lin Ruoxi.

He covered his mouth and made a zipping gesture with his hand.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoxi withdrew her gaze, and just as Ye Nan let out a sigh of relief, Lin Ruoxi's voice suddenly sounded, startling Ye Nan.

"Come over quickly and help tidy up!"

Ye Nan's body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Coming, wife!"

In the room, Ye Chen listened to Ye Nan and Lin Ruoxi's conversation, unable to help feeling a bit amused.

He looked at the white paper in his hand, "I'll make a paper person; they probably won't notice, but the paper person lacks spirituality, and if I leave Dachang City, it will be hard to control."

Ye Chen's current strength is not strong, making it difficult to control the paper person from a distance; the range of Dachang City is already his limit.

"First, make a paper person."

Ye Chen said, pinching his fingers; making a paper person was easy for him.

As his hand movements continued to rotate, a paper person gradually appeared before him.

The paper person's aura and demeanor were no different from his; compared to a living person, it merely lacked some spiritual energy, but that didn't matter—it was just a bit dull.

Ye Chen infused his divine sense into the paper person's body, and in an instant, the paper person seemed to come alive.

Ye Chen looked at the paper person and said, "Stay at home, don't leave the room, wait for me to return."

The paper person nodded; seeing that, Ye Chen went to the window. His home is on the fourteenth floor, which is no problem for him.

He stood on the edge of the window sill, and after confirming there was no one below, he leapt down and landed steadily on the ground.

He still cannot fly; according to the cultivation realm divisions, he will be able to fly only after reaching the tenth layer of Qi Refining.

After Ye Chen landed on the ground, he quickly rushed to the scene where the little girl had an incident.

Ye Chen quickly leapt across the high-rise buildings; he couldn't run on the ground, for if someone saw a child running faster than a car, he would be on the hot search list that very day, not needing to wait until tomorrow.

Half an hour later, Changle Street.

Ye Chen looked at the bustling street, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Heavenly Eye, open!"

Ye Chen opened his Heavenly Eye, and at the moment he used it, he saw various colors of aura entwined around people's heads.

Some had deathly aura entwined above their heads, while others had prosperous fortune overhead, but Ye Chen didn't pay attention to those; his gaze was drawn to a strand of extraordinarily thick black aura.

Around that aura, karmic force was extremely strong; fortunately it wasn't the karma of a great power, otherwise he really wouldn't dare to touch it lightly.

And around that black aura, mournful sounds kept echoing; Ye Chen could barely make out that they were the sorrowful cries of children whose fates had been rewritten.

"Good grief, how many have they abducted? This trafficker truly deserves to die!"

Their aura entwined with that black qi, dim and faded, indicating that this person had long been far away, and much time had passed, merely turning into resentment attached to the trafficker.

Compared to them, Ye Chen at once saw the vivid, vigorous aura; without further thought, that was the aura of the missing girl.

"Found it."

Ye Chen walked over, and at the moment he approached, the System's voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

【I didn't expect the host to actually encounter a person of great karma; however, this person has committed endless evil deeds, I advise the host to kill him and restore a clear sky for these people!】

Ye Chen listened to the System's words, extracted Feng Lele's aura, and after extracting Feng Lele's aura, he turned his gaze to the other auras.

He very much wanted to save them, but was powerless; too much time had passed, and he could no longer accurately locate these people.

However, after the trafficker is caught, these people should also be able to be found again.

After Ye Chen finished extracting the aura, he came to a deserted alley, made a sword-finger gesture, the sword-finger faintly glowed, and the next moment, the strand of aura in his hand instantly drifted out, flying toward the distance.

Seeing this, Ye Chen leapt up on the spot, jumped onto the rooftop, and caught up with that strand of aura.

Ye Chen followed that strand of aura, gradually leaving Dachang City.

Ye Chen saw this, his brows slightly furrowed, "I hope it doesn't run too far; my spiritual power is insufficient, the spiritual energy of this heaven and earth is inherently thin, and if not replenished in time, there may be some trouble."

Ye Chen thought to himself, but fortunately, after not long, the speed of that aura slowed down.

Ye Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart; he knew he was not far from Feng Lele.

After that aura flew for a while, it suddenly accelerated and darted into a forest.

Ye Chen hesitated not at all, and straightaway pursued.

Upon entering the forest, Ye Chen immediately sensed three strands of aura; two of them he had previously felt within Dachang City.

Therefore Ye Chen was quite certain that these two strands of aura were those of the trafficker and Feng Lele, while the third strand was completely unfamiliar.

"They've run quite far, and there's still an unfamiliar aura; likely it's the intermediary or the buyer."

Ye Chen leapt onto a tree, looking down from above at them, while Feng Lele was at that moment in a faint sleep beside them.

At that moment, the trafficker was conversing with another person.

Their conversation, word for word, fell into Ye Chen's ears.

"Hurry up, one hand for money, the other for goods; damn it, I'm about to be wanted by the whole city, move fast!"

Do you even know, damn it? The person you kidnapped is from a family; as far as I know, they're already drawing lots. If they find you, you probably won't even leave a whole corpse.

Damn it, am I still afraid of this? I'm not afraid of any demons and monsters—hurry up and pay, I only handle delivery.

The trafficker seemed very anxious, constantly urging that person to quickly take out money.

Understood.

That person said, pulling a box from behind.

There's 100,000 inside; afterwards I'll delete the contact, cancel the number, and treat this as if it never happened.

"Don't blabber." The trafficker said, snatching the box from that person's hand, looking at the money inside, saliva almost dripping out.

Alright, that's it, I'll take this girl away.

That person said, picking up the girl, preparing to leave.

Ye Chen on the tree saw this, the corner of his mouth slightly rose.

Want to leave, have you gotten my agreement?
