Chapter 2206: Chapter 2206: Mom, Awesome, Beat Him

Listening to his words, An Jiuyue raised her hand and rubbed her forehead.

Why was she bothering to argue with someone who was about to die anyway? There was no need for so much talk—just drag him out and be done with it.

“Qian Jiyun, hand Nuonuo to me. Drag him out and hang him on the city wall.” She looked at her husband and stretched out her hand to him.

The little baby couldn’t understand much, but he could definitely understand when his mother reached out to him for a hug. He immediately flailed his small body excitedly.

“Hug, hug.”

Qian Jiyun chuckled and handed the child over to An Jiuyue.

“Be careful, don’t bump into your mother.”

He gently patted the little baby’s chubby bottom and reminded him softly.

“Hit Nuonuo, bad daddy!”

The little baby had already nestled into his mother’s arms. One tiny hand covered his little bottom defensively, while the other reached out to smack his father’s big hand.

Daring to hit him? He would hit back! Unfortunately, he didn’t have the strength to match.

Meanwhile, General Ning, upon hearing An Jiuyue’s words, realized that things didn’t look good. Taking advantage of their distraction with Nuonuo, he turned to flee.

“Trying to run?”

Qian Jiyun’s eyes darkened slightly as he unleashed a burst of Demonic energy, striking General Ning square on the back.

A blood-curdling scream rang out as General Ning was slammed into the stone slabs of the courtyard, his nose immediately gushing with twin streams of blood.

The deputy general didn’t dare move a muscle. Terror filled his eyes as he stared out from the study, watching his general being beaten. He wondered morbidly if he would’ve been the one on the receiving end had he stepped forward earlier.

Death was certain—he knew that—but if he could avoid suffering before then, he supposed that was some consolation.

The High Priest Demon Heart! No one dared oppose them. General Ning was truly courting death, trying to escape in front of the High Priest Demon Heart!

Did he honestly think he could get away?

In the courtyard, General Ning felt as though all his bones were about to shatter. His back hurt so much that he wanted to writhe in pain on the ground.

In fact, he truly rolled on the ground twice before seeing An Jiuyue—child in her arms—stepping out with Qian Jiyun. Only then did he struggle to endure the agonizing pain and get up.

“High Priest, spare me! It wasn’t me—it really has nothing to do with me. The matters regarding the Yiinn Family have absolutely nothing to do with me!” He dropped to his knees before An Jiuyue in horror, begging for mercy.

“Are you trying to say you weren’t the one contacting the Emperor of Beikun?” An Jiuyue stepped closer and kicked him over with a single, unceremonious strike.

In her arms, Little Nuonuo, admiring his mother’s ferocity, clapped cheerfully and shouted, “Good job, Mommy! Beat him, beat him! Good job!”

Flattened by the kick, General Ning no longer cared about his dignity. He scrambled back up to kneel properly before An Jiuyue, this daunting High Priest Demon Heart.

“It wasn’t me—it truly wasn’t! It was Emperor Zhong who secretly ordered me to liaise with the Emperor of Beikun about targeting the Yiinn Family. I had nothing to do with proposing this plan!

It was Emperor Zhong’s secret edict. Everything was done under his command. It was the Emperor of Beikun who contacted Emperor Zhong first, only then was I sent to Beikun Kingdom to discuss matters with the Emperor of Beikun.”

At this moment, he couldn’t afford to admit anything harmful to himself. All he could do was blame Emperor Zhong for everything.

After all, Emperor Zhong was doomed anyway. Since his fate was sealed, what harm was there in letting him take the fall for one more crime?

“I even tried to persuade Emperor Zhong, but he wouldn’t listen. He insisted I proceed to connect with the Emperor of Beikun.”
