Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 652: Oh, An Old Acquaintance

"Why ask so many questions? Do you think you have too many lives to spare?"

The leader of the men in black said viciously. Soon they stopped and the leader approached the towering tree where Feng Xiaoli was hiding. He suddenly reached out and knocked on the trunk.

There was a hollow sound from the tree. As luck would have it, the tree that Hei Dian had chosen for Feng Xiaoli to shelter in had a hollow trunk.

And it wasn’t just that tree. The other black-clothed men also began searching for trees around them, and quickly they found the corresponding trees.

The center of those trees had been hollowed out, forming natural warehouses.

The men started unloading the goods from the carts.

They tore open the bark of the trees and lit torches.

With the light of the torches, Feng Xiaoli could clearly see what they were doing.

Inside those tree warehouses were some items, and the men in black took goods out from the trunks and reorganized them on the carts.

The goods they brought earlier were hidden inside the tree holes, and they looked almost exactly like the second set of goods.

Though young, Feng Xiaoli was educated and exceptionally bright. She knew right from wrong. Initially, she thought these people were just thieves, but when she saw them exchanging goods, Xiaoli was puzzled.

Why would these people need to switch out the items?

Clearly, those goods looked exactly the same.

After everything was swapped and settled, a smile appeared in the eyes of the black-clad leader.

"Release the Signal Arrow and go!"

At the leader’s command, the group fired a Signal Arrow, then swiftly retreated from the woods.

The whole process took no more than a quarter of an hour. If Feng Xiaoli hadn’t witnessed it with her own eyes, it’s likely that nobody would have known that the goods had been switched out in the forest.

Feng Xiaoli blinked her big eyes, filled with confusion.

However, when she thought of the delicious food unloaded from the carts, her stomach growled even louder.

She really wished Hei Dian would come back quickly to get her down from the tree.

But for some reason, Hei Dian had not returned yet.

If only someone could come and help her down, Feng Xiaoli thought as she looked at the tree trunk dozens of meters tall, feeling worried.

While she was thinking, she heard a strange sound of wind coming from the south, and after a short while, it arrived right under the tree where she was.

The wind stopped, and the "wind" steadied its feet.

This wind was a person.

He was holding a map, apparently looking for something, his night vision allowing him to see the surroundings clearly, even in the dark.

He reached the ancient tree where Feng Xiaoli was hiding and, following the secret marks indicated on the map, moved to the tree trunk, where he indeed found faint traces, which made his eyes gleam with delight.

But just at that moment, a loud gurgling noise rang out, and Feng Xiaoli’s face turned pale as she clutched her flat, hungry belly.

The person beneath the tree suddenly looked up, tilting his ear to listen, and only then sensing the very faint presence of a person’s breathing around.

"Who’s there?"

The person called out coldly.

His gaze, sharp as two cold arrows, was directed towards where Feng Xiaoli was hiding.

As he looked up, Feng Xiaoli also got a clear view of his face.

It was him.

With his aloof demeanor and sinister gaze, it turned out to be Xiao Junci, the Regent King of Beiqi.

Baidi City was not Beiqi, it was at the border of Great Chu; what was Xiao Junci, the Regent King of Beiqi, doing in this place?

Of course, Feng Xiaoli did not know the answer to such complex questions. All she knew was that the man in front of her was no good guy, as he had bullied her and Brother Xiaojin back in Xinqi Village.

She inherited her mother’s nature, holding grudges, hence she glared at Xiao Junci with considerable anger.

Xiao Junci also frowned, fixing his gaze upon the dense canopy, their eyes met, and he could clearly see a tiny figure hiding among the branches.

"It’s you."

Xiao Junci’s brows relaxed, a slight smile appearing at the corners of his mouth. He quickly scanned his surroundings, and after ensuring no one else was around, he looked up again at Feng Xiaoli within the treetop.

"Why are you here alone?"

Xiao Junci had not expected to encounter Feng Bailing’s precious daughter in such a place.

Speaking of this little fat girl, Xiao Junci had a deep impression of her.

The kid was chubbily cute and very clever, not easy to deal with, but Xiao Junci didn’t dislike her.

However, it was strange for such a little kid to run off to this place.

Xiao Junci’s actions tonight were highly secretive; for the sake of confidentiality, he came here without even his personal guards, never expecting to meet Feng Xiaoli here.

He had thought that since Feng Xiaoli was here, her parents Feng Bailing or Dugu Wu must also be around, but it seemed neither of them was present. Could there possibly be some trap?

Seeing that Feng Xiaoli didn’t answer, Xiao Junci didn’t act rashly, still vigilantly observing his surroundings.

"What are you doing here in the dead of night?"

Xiao Junci asked again.

Seeing herself already exposed, Feng Xiaoli felt an internal wail but kept a stubborn face.

"In the dead of night, what are you doing here?"

"Little girl, the last person who dared to speak to this king like that has been chopped into pieces by me," Xiao Junci menacingly threatened on purpose.

"The last person who dared to speak to me like that was also chopped into seven or eight pieces by my father," retorted Xiao Li, unyielding, as the two of them exchanged verbal jabs for a full quarter of an hour.

The one in the tree didn’t come down, and the one below didn’t rashly climb up.

As time ticked by the seconds, Xiao Junci still saw no sign of Feng Bailing or Dugu Wu, starting to lose patience.

His carriage and horses were waiting miles away. After making sure there was no issue with the goods, he intended to transport the supplies away.

The Phoenix Chamber of Commerce’s goods, after being switched out, were hidden here and then sold to Xiao Junci at half price.

Xiao Junci was in urgent need of military provisions and materials recently, and the supplies hidden in the nearby trees were perfect for his needs.

"Come down."

Xiao Junci moved his lips.

"If you can, come up," Feng Xiaoli retorted with a pout.

Xiao Junci leapt gracefully, landing on a tree branch not far from Feng Xiaoli.

Xiao Junci looked down at Feng Xiaoli with a somewhat triumphant air.

"Little fat girl, this king is curious to see where you’ll run off to this time. Don’t worry, being this king’s daughter is definitely happier than being Dugu Wu’s. As long as you’re in my grasp, your mother would surely be willing to marry me."

Saying so, Xiao Junci took a step forward.

Feng Xiaoli pursed her lips and responded,

"My mother would never marry a cripple."

Xiao Junci was about to retort "This king is robust and strong, your father is the cripple,"

But in the next instant, the unexpected happened.
