Chapter 1 The Unarmored King

• Qingzhou City.
• The weather was pleasantly cool.
• A sleek black business car made its way towards the city center.
• The young man behind the wheel was in his early twenties and exuded a sharp intellect.
• His name was Bai Jing.
• In the back seat, a man wearing black military boots and a black suit sat with deep, cold eyes.
• A solemn and menacing aura surrounded him.
• Ning Tiance.
• The Dragon Lord of the Northern Territory.
• The commander of ten thousand armies.
• Today, he returned in glory.
• Unlike other generals, he didn't require planes and cannons for his arrival.
• Ning Tiance preferred to maintain a low profile.
• Just like the business car he rode in, he didn't draw attention.
• "Ning Sheng, where are we heading first?" Bai Jing asked.
• "Ning Residence," Ning Tiance calmly replied.
• Qingzhou City, Ning Mansion.
• Today, the mansion was bustling with activity. It was adorned with lights, filled with red wine, and echoed with lively conversations.
• A grand banquet was in full swing.
• "You little brat, clean it up for me!"
• A scolding voice rang out.
• At the banquet, a woman dressed in a blue cheongsam, boasting a seductive and arrogant figure, looked down at a little girl on the ground with contempt and disdain.
• The woman wore red high heels.
• Her figure was nearly flawless.
• Not an inch more, not an inch less.
• As if touched by the divine, she was meticulously crafted.
• However.
• Despite her beauty, her exquisite face was filled with disdain and contempt as she gazed at the girl on the ground.
• A dog leash was held in the woman's hand, with the other end tied around the girl's neck.
• The girl was five or six years old, with a face resembling that of a doll. Her innocent eyes should have been free from any sorrow.
• But now, tears welled up in them.
• In contrast.
• While the woman was dressed in glamour, the girl's clothes were tattered and ill-fitting.
• Kneeling on the carpet, facing a bowl of porridge.
• Originally meant for feeding pigs!
• "No, Mommy, I won't eat it, I won't! Why do I have to eat this? I want to wait for my daddy to come back. When my daddy comes back, he won't make me eat this~"
• The girl's innocence and adorableness were evident.
• Tears streamed down her face.
• Around her.
• Many well-dressed individuals in suits and leather shoes held glasses of fine red wine, observing this scene with mocking expressions.
• The woman's anger instantly flared up!
• "Slap!"
• A powerful and forceful slap, like a gust of wind, landed on the girl's face.
• The little girl was knocked to the ground, devoid of any tenderness. Her eyes filled with resentment.
• The onlookers.
• The woman raised her proud chin, resembling a noble swan. She relished the envious and admiring gazes from the crowd.
• The master of Ning Mansion, Lin Aoxue!
• The Ning Mansion now belonged to the Lin family!
• "You little brat, stop talking nonsense. If I tell you to eat, you must eat!"
• "Your useless father will never come back in this lifetime, he's already dead! If you dare mention that useless person again, I'll throw you into the pigsty."
• Lin Aoxue roared in anger.
• Her behavior seemed incongruous with her status.
• However, the little girl continued to call her mother with every word.
• Lin Aoxue tugged on the dog leash, wishing she could step on Ning Xiaoya's neck.
• "Sob sob sob~ Mommy~ Mommy, please don't! My daddy~ he~ he will definitely come back, he's not dead! Don't you want daddy anymore? Didn't you tell me that daddy didn't die?"
• "Mommy, you're lying, I hate you!"
• Ning Xiaoya's tear-stained face was covered in tears.
• Her delicate face resembled a pear blossom.
• It broke people's hearts!
• In this vast scene, she cried out loud.
• Her doll-like face was on the verge of melting!
• However.
• The sadder Ning Xiaoya became, the more ecstatic Lin Aoxue's delicate face grew.
• She felt increasingly satisfied!
