Liu Ying was not born particularly beautiful. In terms of facial features, she was even slightly inferior to Concubine Wan. However, the cold and enchanting aura coming out of her was irresistible. It was hard to tell if Fairy Jade Rabbit was an immortal or a demon. However, to ordinary men, this kind of aura was fatal.

Shen Miao’s gaze stopped on Liu Ying for a moment, then she turned to look around to see if that person was here. After looking around, she did not find him. When Shen Qiu saw that, he asked curiously, “Sister, what are you looking for?”

“Brother, why don’t you look at Miss Liu Ying?” Shen Miao asked instead of answering.

Hearing Shen Miao ask this, he replied, “I don’t find her attractive.”

Shen Miao raised an eyebrow and said, “Then what kind of woman do you like?”

Shen Qiu couldn’t answer that.

Shen Miao found Shen Qiu’s embarrassed expression very interesting and wanted to laugh. In her previous life, Shen Qiu married a vicious wife and never had the chance to really meet a girl he liked. In this life, she wondered if it would change.

“Let’s go.” Shen Qiu reached out to Shen Miao, wanting to lift her down from the stone platform. Just now, in order to let Shen Miao see Miss Liu Ying clearly, Shen Qiu brought her here, about ten meters away from Shen Xin and the others. Now that they were done watching the show, they naturally had to return to Shen Xin’s side and go to the lake to light the lanterns.

Just as Shen Miao was about to jump down, she suddenly heard a child’s cry. Shen Qiu also heard it. The two of them turned around and saw a three or four-year-old child hanging upside down from the beam of a shop. The child was probably naughty and climbed to a high beam to watch the show, but he slipped. At this moment, his hands were tightly clasped together, and half of his body was hanging down. If he fell like this, he would have a small chance of survival. The people around him had already gone to get a ladder, but the child could not hold on for long. Seeing that his hands were getting weaker and weaker, the child’s mother was already covering her face and crying.

“Sister, wait for me here.” Seeing this, Shen Qiu quickly instructed Shen Miao. It was probably only a few meters away from the stone platform, so he immediately ran over to help.

Before he could reach the child, the child’s hand went limp and he fell. The surrounding people immediately exclaimed. Shen Qiu tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and stepped on a pillar beside him. He soared into the air and caught the child, barely in time. The people around him cheered for the move he made. Shen Qiu returned the child to the child’s mother. The child’s mother thanked him with tears in her eyes, making Shen Qiu feel a little embarrassed.

After comforting the mother and son, Shen Qiu was about to return to the stone platform to pick up Shen Miao. As soon as he turned around, he was stunned.

The stone platform was empty.

Shen Qiu’s heart tightened. He pushed through the crowd and ran to the stone platform. There was no one there. Shen Qiu looked around and shouted, “Jiaojiao!” However, no one answered him.

He grabbed a person standing not far from the stone platform and asked, “Where’s the girl who was standing here just now? Did you see the girl here?”

That person replied impatiently, “What little girl? No, no!” After saying that, he glanced at him. “Did your daughter get kidnapped? There are many kidnappers at the Jade Rabbit Festival. Most likely, she was kidnapped.”

Shen Qiu’s body trembled violently. He, someone who wouldn’t bat an eye when killing an enemy on the battleground, panicked, and his expression changed drastically.
