Chapter 1972 - 1555: Scheming Boy vs. Vicious Woman!

The accusations from the people around were incessant, and Gu Changsheng was truly indignant!

And with the accusations from those around, Baby Jin Bao cried even more pitifully. The small body was shuddering, making one feel a surge of sympathy. There were not many women in Smelting City, but it was not a Monk Temple after all, so there were still some women. Such a pitiful Baby Jin Bao instantly stirred the maternal instincts on both sides of the street!

"Little baby, don’t cry. If your mom doesn’t want you, I’ll take you. How could such a cute child be born to such a family? Look at that woman, not particularly good-looking, and yet she’s ruthless, abandoning her own son on the roadside!"

A woman in her thirties came out of a blacksmith shop, an apron tied around her waist. Seeing how pitifully Baby Jin Bao was crying, she approached with a look of sympathy and compassion.

Baby Jin Bao, hearing this, didn’t explain much and just cried even more sorrowfully, as if he had suffered a huge grievance!

In fact, Baby Jin Bao did feel wronged. He didn’t even know what had happened, did he?

Everything was fine initially; Gu Changsheng had agreed to take him along. His wish was about to come true, but in the blink of an eye, Gu Changsheng changed her mind. It was as if she was determined not to want Baby Jin Bao. This left Baby Jin Bao utterly baffled, feeling somewhat abandoned, doesn’t it?

As a spirit of the mountain, Baby Jin Bao never understood human warmth and coldness, nor the ways of interacting with people. He only met Gu Changsheng, thinking she might help him advance, and couldn’t help but grow fond of her. Who would have thought, just as this fondness arose, Gu Changsheng changed her mind?

Poor Baby Jin Bao, bewildered, was utterly clueless about Gu Changsheng’s change of heart!

Wasn’t it because of his high-end dietary needs?

Diamond Jade Stone!

Baby Jinbao’s staple was the Diamond Jade Stone used to produce the Golden Silk Jade-Threaded Robe!

In her life, Gu Changsheng had never seen a Golden Silk Jade-Threaded Robe, let alone the materials used to forge it, those Diamond Jade Stones. It wasn’t that Gu Changsheng was unwilling to take Baby Jin Bao, but if she did, the Baby Jin Bao who doesn’t drink milk but consumes Diamond Jade Stone would surely starve to death in front of her one day!

That was not the outcome Gu Changsheng wanted!

So, rather than prolong the pain, Gu Changsheng decided to make a run for it!

However, what Gu Changsheng didn’t expect was that her escape turned her into a sinner!

Hastening away, Gu Changsheng heard the woman’s words and gritted her teeth in fury!

Damn it!

What did she mean by saying she doesn’t seem particularly pretty but is ruthless? Isn’t this judging by appearance?

Isn’t this a personal attack?

Since when was Baby Jin Bao her son?

Her own son, Little Dumpling, was still on the way to the North Mongolia Royal City, causing mischief somewhere in some remote corner. Why pin Little Jinbao onto her?

Does she really look so much like a child’s mother?

Gu Changsheng was utterly aggrieved!

Under the collective criticism and opinionated glares, Gu Changsheng felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, her steps faltering. Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but look back, glaring angrily at Baby Jin Bao!

This naughty kid!

Crying, just crying all the time!

Why couldn’t he explain a little?

He’s obviously the reigning tyrant of the Divine Mount Qilian, yet he insists on acting like a pitiful little child. What is he doing?

Even though he is small, he is a little schemer!

Gu Changsheng declared she was not pleased!

"Don’t you have anything to say?" Gu Changsheng turned back, speaking through clenched teeth to Baby Jin Bao.

Damn it, it’s not that I didn’t give you a chance to explain. I am giving you the opportunity now; if you don’t clarify, I will really get angry!

This feeling of being accused by everyone is really the worst!

At this moment, Gu Changsheng realized, although she wasn’t entirely comfortable with being admired by thousands, that life was genuinely better than her current experience, simply worlds apart!

"Waaah... don’t abandon Baby. Baby is really good and will be obedient..." As soon as Baby Jin Bao saw Gu Changsheng turning back, he immediately abandoned the woman with a sympathetic face, running to Gu Changsheng with a pleasing look.

Although Baby Jin Bao wasn’t well-versed in worldly affairs, he vaguely felt that Gu Changsheng’s sudden change of heart in abandoning him was probably related to his eating habits, so Baby Jin Bao lifted his little head again, staring with tearful eyes, "Baby would be very good. Baby can eat very little, and won’t be a burden to you, please don’t abandon Baby..."

The only hope of Becoming a God in the Post-Ancient Era!

Baby Jin Bao hadn’t encountered it and could still accept his fate, but having encountered it, how could he let it pass?

Although Baby Jin Bao isn’t worldly-wise, in his countless years as a spirit, out of sheer boredom, he had read many novels, thus executing the sympathy-inducing plot effortlessly!

"You..." Gu Changsheng raised her hand, pointing at the tear-streaked little child before her, truly feeling a little furious!

Goddamn it, if Baby Jin Bao hadn’t said that, it might have been okay, but now he’s practically confirming Gu Changsheng’s guilt!

"Woman, you’re too despicable. How can you be so cruel as to not even let a young child eat?" The same woman angrily stared at Gu Changsheng, clearly aligning with the crowd against a common enemy.

"Yes, yes! How can there be such a vicious woman in this world, denying a child clothes and food? Look, with the mountain days being cold, how thinly dressed this little child is!"

"Vicious, simply too vicious! Such a woman isn’t even fit to be called human!"

"..."

The comments, one after another, reached Gu Changsheng’s ears, making her petite body shake with indignation!

Damn it, this is really going too far!

You ignorant passersby, do you even know who this poor little child in your eyes is?

He’s your local tycoon, the mountain overlord!

Saying I didn’t let Jin Bao eat his fill?

Damn it, he eats Diamond Jade Stone, If you have the ability, you make him full, huh?

Claiming I didn’t keep Jin Bao warm, this is truly fabricating charges without any evidence, Gu Changsheng genuinely wanted to tell them that the "poor" little child in their eyes is wearing the Golden Silk Jade-Threaded Robe!

A robe that can make one immortal!

You fools!

You don’t know anything, just fanning the flames and aiding evil?

"You sly boy! I’ve truly been defeated by you!" Gu Changsheng took several deep breaths, knowing this couldn’t continue. If it did, they wouldn’t just be passing through this Smelting City, they might drown in the spittle of the crowd!

Gu Changsheng imagined many epitaphs for herself, but drowning in spittle was never one!

This is really too disgraceful!

Gu Changsheng refused to accept such a reality!

Thus, Gu Changsheng, whose face was smeared darkly, full of impending storm, shook off the evildoer’s support, and took a few steps to stand in front of the little Jin Bao, lowered her head, and spoke rather through clenched teeth, "Jin Bao, have you thought this through? I’m very poor, following me, I can’t even assure you have enough food and clothing, let alone protect your life. Even so, you still insist on following me?"

Upon hearing this, little Jin Bao immediately stopped crying.

The onlookers couldn’t stand it anymore, and once again berated Gu Changsheng.

"Woman, do you scare children like this? He’s at least your son, how can you be so cruel to threaten your child with his life? He’s just a kid, what does he know?"

"Yes, really the world is full of wonders. I’ve lived most of my life but this is the first time I’ve seen such a venomous woman!"

"..."

Gu Changsheng kept her eyes on little Jin Bao, listening to the gossip, as anger gradually brewed in her phoenix eyes!

Stupid passersby!

Annoying kid!

Daring to corner me like this, I’ll make you regret it!

"Everyone shut up!" Therefore, Gu Changsheng didn’t hold back, immediately snapped coldly with a sinister smile, surveying the crowd, "Aren’t you saying he’s my son? Then this is our family matter, who does it concern for you to gossip here?"

Damn it!

A venomous woman, huh?

Fine, I’ll show you how a venomous woman lives!

Do they really think of Gu Changsheng as a sick cat because she hasn’t shown her ferocity, do they really think she’s someone to be trifled with?

Even as Gu Changsheng’s voice was rather blustery, those indignant passersby were dumbstruck by her shout!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng finally felt satisfied and a bit relieved, then looked back at little Jin Bao, speaking deeply, "You cunning child, daring to play tricks with me, you’re really something!"

This really forced me to have to take him away, didn’t it?

Truly a case of a dog biting Lv Dongbin, not recognizing a good heart!

Damn it, I was worried he’d starve to death!

This little child doesn’t understand my good intentions at all, then it’s not my fault!

"Boohoo..." Little Jin Bao, frightened by Gu Changsheng’s stern words, instinctively wanted to cover his face.

"No crying!" Seeing him about to use this trick again, Gu Changsheng immediately stomped, scolding in a low voice, "No crying!"

"Boo... hiccup!" Little Jin Bao started to cry halfway, his initial tone smooth, but it caught in his throat, resulting in a hiccup...

"Dare to play dumb and act cute again, and I’ll use my powers to bind you and hang you at the City Gate, you know I mean what I say!"
