Chapter 0010: Unbelievable:
Everyone quickly had an answer.
Because the young Heavenly Emperor in the Ancient Bronze Mirror made his choice without hesitation.
He stood in the courtyard and the cold wind seemed like it could sweep away his frail body. However, his eyes were filled with coldness and determination never seen before.
Gu Changqing picked up the courtyard's firewood ax and knocked on the door.
The middle-aged man's face hadn't even shown astonishment yet, and what greeted him was a cold light.
Inside the house, the sharp screams of the middle-aged woman rang out.
However, this sound disappeared as soon as it emerged.
"You want to eat my sister?"
Inside, Gu Changqing looked expressionlessly at the child of the same age in front of him: "Then I'll kill you."
Young Heavenly Emperor spoke coldly.
"We’re the only two left in the village, I’m your brother, and I'll protect you."
In the room filled with blood, the young Heavenly Emperor stood in a pool of blood. He murmured to himself as he gazed at the baby in the quilt.
"I'm sorry, I won't abandon you behind in the future."
He picked up the baby in the swaddle.
He lit the wooden house with a fire, then ran into the mountains without a glance back.
Throughout the process, this young Heavenly Emperor showed not a shred of fear in his demeanor, only a chilling calmness.
...
(Outside the Ancient Bronze Mirror)
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
Utter silence filled the place!
No one expected that Gu Changqing would choose to directly kill his uncle's family.
Could a five-year-old child do such a thing?
Murder!
This wasn't like killing chickens or dogs! This required immense courage!
"Perhaps, he gradually became that cold-blooded and ruthless Heavenly Emperor from this moment on." Many people sighed.
Anyone could perceive the change in Gu Changqing.
While dealing with the giant spiritual beast in the past, he was trembling with fear, but now he was terrifyingly calm through the entire process.
"The young Heavenly Emperor indeed showed great care for the young girl."
Many people fell silent.
The heavens know how much courage this child needs just to kill for her sister.
If Gu Changqing's previous care for Gu Yuwei was merely out of a sense of duty, then at this moment, it was protection without hesitation.
Gu Yuwei stood there for a long time and her eyes were extremely complicated.
"Is it because of me that you gradually became so heartless..."
Ye Chen noticed Gu Yuwei's abnormality and whispered, "If it were me, I would do the same, but I would never be as ruthless as the Heavenly Emperor."
However, the movement in Gu Yuwei's eyes didn’t fade this time.
Within the Ancient Bronze Mirror, Gu Changqing was still running deep into the mountains.
A cultivator couldn't understand, "The mountains are extremely dangerous, why would he continue to go into the mountains? Wouldn't it be safer to stay in the mortal village?"
Someone answered, "His parents were killed, and he found a child from the pile of dead bodies, but he was about to be used as food. If it were you, would you still think the mortal village is safe?"
"At this moment, he is like a frightened bird, deeply disappointed in human nature!"
At this time, another cultivator asked, "But when the Heavenly Emperor was in power, didn't he establish rules that cultivators should not arbitrarily kill mortals? Why would he protect mortals?"
Everyone fell silent, and no one could answer.
According to the current situation of the young Heavenly Emperor and his fierceness after becoming the Heavenly Emperor, this was indeed extremely contradictory.
...
(Within the Ancient Bronze Mirror)
Gu Changqing returned to the cave he first entered.
However, he stayed at the cave's entrance, not going in, but searching the ground around the cave.
The baby in his arms seemed hungry again and was crying incessantly.
"What is he looking for?"
"He should be looking for food that the baby can eat."
"Babies can only eat the porridge and milk that mortals have at home. Where can he find these in the mountains?"
Everyone discussed among themselves, unable to understand the young Heavenly Emperor’s actions.
At this moment, Jiang Minghuang suddenly said, "He should be looking for that beast."
"Beast?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Jiang Minghuang explained, "That beast should be a female leopard, and moreover, a female leopard with milk."
"How do you know?"
Jiang Minghuang shook his head, "I don't know, but I know that the Heavenly Emperor knows. He has always been meticulous, and some details often escape our notice."
Everyone looked surprised.
"Jiang Huang, what you said is unbelievable. We didn't even notice that that leopard had milk. How could the young Heavenly Emperor, who was in a hurry to deal with the giant leopard, know?"
"Although the Heavenly Emperor is indeed keen-eyed, but now he is only five years old, how could he be so godlike?"
This statement was accepted by everyone.
Jiang Minghuang's words were indeed too unbelievable.
Moreover, when the young Heavenly Emperor attacked the giant leopard, his expression clearly showed that he was greatly frightened.
Someone continued, "Even if he noticed these details and knew it was a female leopard, how would he get the milk?"
"Wild beasts are fierce, let alone spiritual beasts with intelligence. The Heavenly Emperor can drive away the giant leopard, but forcing it to give up its milk is too fantastic."
Everyone laughed loudly.
Jiang Minghuang pursed his lips and stopped explaining. His eyes turned firm.
