CEO's Beloved Is Spoiled And Scary!

Chapter 21 - Much Needed Flashback

On the bank of a river, a little guy could be seen. His clothes were ragged and his cheeckbones were visible. Clearly starving. 

No spiritual energy could be detected from his body. He was not a cultivator. However, his looks were top notch. Top notch as in, otherwordly. No one could produce such as offspring there! It was the infamous Swamp Land. The country with the highest crime rate. Robberies, theft, murders, r.a.p.es were common occurances. No one other than criminals lived there. It was not a place for the civilized.

The little boy looked eight to nine years old. Had nothing on him other than an old sack he was using as his clothing. 

"Boss, it is our bad day. We could not score a single coin. Everyone now knows that this place is dangerous, so no one crosses by the river."

"This is so annoying. No ladies, no money, no gold." 

It was a group of four men. Every one of them were big, burly and hairy except the one nehind them. The one behind them was a man whose height was maybe three feet. Short, buffed up and scary. 

"Look there, boss! A pretty little lass. But he looks poor."

"So what? We can take him, make him look a bit better and use him as a bait to lure rich merchants. They will think that the little boy has been kidnapped and try to help him." The man who was seemingly the leader chuckled.

"Boss, he looks delicious too. Maybe we can.." the shortest guy licked his lips. 

"Of course! HAHAHA." The leader gave out a hearty laughter.

After that, the group of four started to approach the little boy quietly sitting by the river. The sack covered his head too which looked like a hood. Looking at him afar was etheral which made the men even more impatient and excited. One step, two step, and there they were, inly three or four metres away from the boy.

"Little man, come with us, we will give you nice clothes and food to eat." The guy next to the leader offered. But the boy completely ignored him as if he did not hear him at all.

"Is he deaf?" The guy next to the guy who spoke first asked.

"No, he is not deaf. Can you not see him rocking his head to the bird's song? He is clearly ignoring us!" The leader screamed. 

"Little rascal! You are so small, but you still dare to disrespect others! I can squish you like an ant!" the short man in the back spat out.

"Are you talking to yourself?" this time the boy spoke up. Looking directly at the short man while still crouching by the river. The boy's eyes travelled from down the short man's feet to his head, but it did not stop. He kept looking up and then stopped abruptly. He then lowered his eyes and looked at the man's eyes.

"Oh! It ends right here, I see." the boy smirked after mocking the man's height. 

"You! How dare you1" the short man was fuming with anger. The only thing he hated in the world was when someone insulted his height. That was his bottom line. 

"You are a stubborn one. He Su, take your revenge, but don't injure his face. We still need to have fun." the leader ordered the short man. 

The short man whose name was He Su started gathering his spiritual power in his palm. It was blue in colour. Blue was the most basic colour. 99% of people had this colour. The rest were either a shade darker or lighter. People who could actually produce spiritual power of a different colour could be counted with hands. Those people were of a different class. They were not meant to be classified as the same as regular people. They could become Gods if they were powerful enough.

As He Su released his power, a storm like wind blew towards the little boy. It was supposed to be He Su's most powerful move. This would render the victim immobile and gravely injured, but alive.

The power hit the boy, but only his hood was blown away. 

As the hood fell off, beautiful raven like black long hair fell on his shoulder. He was not a little boy! It was a girl. That too one with celestial beauty. 

The leader was ecstatic that the kid turned out to be a girl! Weak girl should only be used to warm his bed! But then he realised how He Su's attack had practically no effect on her.

If people from the future could see what was going on, they would certainly urge the four sc.u.ms to leave the place immediately. If they could that is. 

This was not a little boy. It was a girl. Not a weak girl either. She was the infamous Devil Queen Wei Zhan.
