When the heavy maces hit the body, Cheng Nuo seemed to hear the bones breaking even through the sound of his screams. It made his scalp tingle but he didn't know how to react.

Liu Guang still wasn't finished venting his anger. He kicked Zhu Liu, turning his body over. He used one foot to step on Zhu Liu's face and ground it down hard. He shouted: "I, your grandfather asked you a question! Are you mute?"

(TN: I know it sounds weird in English but in Chinese when someone is talking arrogantly, they like to call themselves your father or grandfather. Think of it as similar to the English expression "who's your daddy now?")

Zhu Liu couldn't stop screaming in a low voice. Blood was pouring from his mouth down to his chin and neck. He cut a sorry figure, looking extremely wretched. He stretched out a hand to support himself to try to stand up but Liu Guang lifted an iron mace and broke his wrist.

That was painful to the extreme. Zhu Liu howled out threats: "You ****ing bas*** dog! You dare to hit me! I, your father, am from the Lan Yue Camp! Do you know our leader is? … Ah!"

He hadn't finished talking yet when Liu Guang struck his good arm with the maces. The arm bent backwards, broken. The pain made dark spots dance in front of Zhu Liu's eyes. He almost fainted.

What Liu Guang hated the most is when other people insult him. Hearing the other person call him a "****ing bas*** dog" made him even more angry than he already was. As a resident of the slums, naturally he understood what Zhu Liu said about the Lan Yue Camp.

There were three leaders of the Lan Yue Camp: the big boss Xiao Chang, the second boss Chu Yunxuan, and the third boss Mo Dang. These three leaders were fellow disciples in the same sect and used to be the city lord's direct subordinates. Not only are they proficient in martial arts, each of them is an expert in a certain skill. There are hundreds of people in their bandit camp and they are quite famous.

He didn't intend to let these two live. Now that he knew they were from the Lan Yue Camp, he was even more determined not to let them make trouble for him in the future. That Zhu Liu bullied his future wife and insulted him. He won't let Zhu Liu die so easily!

He's going to make Zhu Liu wish he was dead …

Cheng Nuo watched Liu Guang's expression turn cold and bloodthirsty. He couldn't bear it anymore. He rushed forward and slammed into Liu Guang's back, hugging him from behind tightly. Cheng Nuo's voice was calm as he said: "Liu Guang, enough. Just kill him."

He had no pity for such scum. If Zhu Liu was released, Cheng Nuo was afraid that it would bring endless trouble to him and Liu Guang. But the cruel look in Liu Guang's eyes and his tendency to slaughter made Cheng Nuo worry - what kind of things has this child experienced to make him act this way?

Liu Guang's back went stiff and he suddenly felt upset. Oops, he completely forgot that his future wife was watching! Females were always more timid than males. Cheng Nuo hadn't grown up in this place, so of course he was frightened.

He felt the heartbeat of the person clinging to his back and very quickly realized that Cheng Nuo's body was tightly pressed against him.

Liu Guang looked down in horror at the two beautiful, slender hands around his chest. The coldness in Liu Guang's eyes slowly melted away. His face turned redder and redder with each passing moment and he felt at a loss.

Although he had become accustomed to sleeping with his wife and waking up in her bed every morning, this was the first time that he hugged Liu Guang in front of other people. He felt awkward but unwilling to break away from the hug. Perhaps because Cheng Nuo always cleaned himself everyday, Cheng Nuo wasn't like other people. He always had a clear, refreshing scent. Liu Guang never said it but in his heart he liked it very much. He now understood a little why Cheng Nuo always forced him to wash himself and brush his teeth. It was good.

Cao Tou and the others were puzzled why Liu Guang's ears turned red. Cao Tou looked dazed and asked: "Elder brother Guang, you won't do it?"

"****!" Liu Guang was reluctant but he finally broke away from Cheng Nuo's hug. He kicked Zhu Liu aside as though he was kicking a dead dog and ordered the children: "Drag these two into the woods. Dig a pit and bury them carefully."

Although they was puzzled by the embarrassed expression on Liu Guang's face, the three children still acted quickly. Chang Chun struggled to drag off Shang Wu while Cao Tou and another child named Jin Yu dragged Zhu Liu by one arm each. They all quickly disappeared into the tall grass.

Shang Wu was completely unconscious but Zhu Liu was still somewhat consciousness and begged them for mercy. Chang Chun disliked this. Picking up a stone, he knocked Zhu Liu's two front teeth out. The bandit's whole mouth became bloody and he couldn't speak anymore. He just kept whimpering.

Liu Guang scolded Chang Chun then turned his head and asked hesitantly: "Ah… Cheng Nuo, are you scared?"

Cheng Nuo could faintly hear the sound of digging. He could imagine what the three children were doing.

"No," said Cheng Nuo grudgingly. He was a student who was quite disciplined and obeyed the law, therefore his current mood was quite complicated.

In the past, during a particularly hot-blooded period of his childhood, he fought with a local bully who wanted to take his money. He was beaten until blood flowed down from his nose. However, this situation was completely different. These two people's actions showed that they had blood on their hands. Zhu Liu, who was a rapist who preyed on children, certainly deserved death. But there was no law in this world that could punish them. If they didn't get rid of these two individuals, they would be in endless trouble.

Even so, knowing that two lives were going to disappear right under his eyes felt very strange. Just imagining these two being buried made him shiver.

If it weren't for Liu Guang's really terrible strength, Cheng Nuo didn't know what would have happened to him and the kids … this is an obvious fact.

Cheng Nuo knows that he must learn to downplay his uneasiness.

Liu Guang didn't really know how to comfort him. He looked at Cheng Nuo's face that had paled and thought that Cheng Nuo was frightened. He said slowly, hesitantly: "Don't be afraid. I will protect you."

Next time, I won't be so fierce in front of his future wife. Killing people should only be done behind his future wife's back.

Cheng Nuo looked at those eyes like transparent jade that looked shy and embarrassed. There was also sincere concern in them. The heavy feelings of deep depression in Cheng Nuo's heart was finally lifted.

He must have become somewhat enlightened, even though he didn't really like it.

These children are not tyrannical juvenile offenders. They have normal human emotions.

He smiled at Liu Guang and said: "I'm not afraid."

When Cao Tou and the other three came out from the woods, Liu Guang cautiously drilled into the grass to check if they had done a good jon. They were indeed buried properly, with their weapons with them.

Before they were buried, the two men were searched again. They had a lot of good things on them. Shang Wu even had an expensive interspatial storage bag which contained a lot of money and food. This must have been the stuff that he had hoarded for many years.

Cao Tou happily brought it to Liu Guang but Liu Guang took one glance at it then dropped it into a deep stream, shouting: "Stupid! Don't be too greedy and lose your common sense just because of a little bit of profit. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble!"

Cao Tou and the Jin Yu reluctantly gave up and didn't dare to say anything. Only Chang Chun lowered his eyes.

Cheng Nuo was greatly surprised. It seems that Liu Guang isn't a short-sighted child. He lives under such difficult conditions but he can still decisively throw away that loot. Many adults wouldn't be so thoughtful.

Noticing Cheng Nuo's admiring gaze, Liu Guang lifted his bamboo basket, uncomfortable: "Still standing around in a daze and doing nothing? Let's go. You don't want to spend more than one night outside, do you?"
