"Pitter-patter …"
Hurried footsteps came from outside the cave. Yan Chutian looked over and saw a middle-aged man in tattered clothes who looked even more miserable and dirty than him running in.
Yan Chutian knew his identity. He was the butler of the original owner of this body, Zhang Chen. With the decline of the family, the originally bustling family became incomparably cold and cheerless in an instant. Following that, there was news that even the residence had been sold and mortgaged. Everyone tried their best to take as much gold and silver as they could and escape. Only Zhang Chen did not abandon them from beginning to end.
Thus, even though Yan Chutian was not the original owner of this body, he still respected Zhang Chen.
"Young Master, you're awake. These … quickly eat them!"
Seeing Yan Chutian's gaze, Zhang Chen slowly walked a few steps closer and took out a paper bag wrapped in lotus leaves from under his tattered and dirty clothes. Opening the paper bag, a meaty aroma wafted out. Half a roasted chicken was lying quietly in the lotus leaves.
The fragrance of the roasted chicken was so alluring that even Yan Chutian could not help but swallow his saliva. Seeing Yan Chutian's reaction, Zhang Chen did not hesitate. He lowered his hunched back and handed the roasted chicken to Yan Chutian.
Yan Chutian subconsciously stretched out his hands to grab the roasted chicken that was right in front of him. However, he suddenly stopped halfway and looked up at Zhang Chen. Looking at Zhang Chen's sorry figure that resembled a beggar, how could Yan Chutian not know that he must have toiled under the supercilious eyes of others in exchange for half a roasted chicken?
"Uncle Chen, you should eat …"
As if he had already expected Yan Chutian's reply, Zhang Chen smiled kindly and shook his head. "No need. Uncle Chen has already eaten. This is the remaining half of the roasted chicken for you."
However, as soon as Zhang Chen's voice fell, his stomach growled, and the lie was exposed. This scene caused Yan Chutian's heart to be even more moved. Traces of being moved unceasingly emerged in his heart. This kind of feeling … could only be felt by Li Tianyun who treated him like a master and a father.
As a result, Yan Chutian's voice was choked with sobs. He rubbed his dirty palms on his white and clean collar before tearing the roasted chicken apart. Grabbing half of it, he handed the other half back to Zhang Chen.
"Uncle Chen, let's split it!"
"This …"
Seeing Yan Chutian's actions, even though Zhang Chen wanted to object, the stubbornness in Yan Chutian's eyes made him give up. He could only take the roasted chicken and a helpless smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
"Okay."
Seeing Zhang Chen take the roasted chicken, Yan Chutian smiled and took big bites of the fragrant chicken. He said contentedly, "Uncle Chen, don't call me Young Master in the future. Call me Little Chu."
Perhaps due to some unknown reason, the original owner of this body was called Yan Chu. It was only one character away from his name, Yan Chutian.
"Yes, Little Chu!"
Zhang Chen smiled and agreed. This made Yan Chutian even more satisfied. Then, he and Zhang Chen finished the roasted chicken in their hands. Half a roasted chicken had never made Yan Chutian so delicious and satisfied. He understood that this was related to his current situation. He might never be able to eat such delicious roasted chicken again.
As for whether he was the real Yan Chu, it was no longer important. From now on, he was still Yan Chutian and Yan Chu.
… …
After eating half of the roasted chicken, Yan Chutian wiped off the grease on her hands. Her line of sight once again locked onto Zhang Chen as she unhurriedly said, "Uncle Chen, bring me out to take a look tomorrow. I should also go and do something. I can't let you work hard for me alone."
In any case, it was impossible for Yan Chutian to let Zhang Chen run around for his sake. He had to do something to make this old man who had not even reached fifty years of age and was already unbelievably old to be able to live more comfortably.
Moreover, even if this was a mortal world that even the Heaven Realm didn't know about, he had to try and see if he could walk out of here and return to the Heaven Realm that belonged to him. Otherwise, there would be a day when the Divine Realm's conspiracy would emerge. At that time, it would be a disaster for the entire Heaven Realm.
Yan Chutian couldn't just watch all of this happen. The Heaven Realm had its own beauty. It had the Firmament God Palace that he was grateful to. It had the Master that he respected and the people of the Heaven Realm. If the disaster happened, all of this might disappear in an instant. He had to think of a way to stop it!
"Okay!"
Hearing this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised. In his impression, although Yan Chu was sensible, the experience of having his family destroyed was too much of a shock to him. Therefore, he hated the world. But now, he was relieved that Yan Chu seemed to have thought it through.
… …
The night passed silently until dawn.
When the sun was high in the sky, Yan Chutian slowly woke up. At this time, he realized that Zhang Chen had already disappeared. This made him feel awkward. It seemed that he was too tired. Uncle Chen probably saw that he was sleeping soundly and couldn't bear to wake him up, right?
Yan Chutian didn't dare to move around. He could only wait in the cave for Zhang Chen's return.
This wait lasted for more than two hours. When it was close to noon, the sound of hurried and messy footsteps came from outside the cave. He looked over and indeed, it was Zhang Chen's figure. However, he looked very flustered. There was a trace of fear on his withered face.
"Little Chu … Hurry up and leave. There's a monster …!"
"Monster?!"
Yan Chutian was surprised. There's a monster? Could it be a spirit beast? If it was really a spirit beast, it was really an unimaginable monster for mortals. After all, the cultivators who just started cultivating here were all giants, not to mention spirit beasts that were even more ferocious and powerful than ordinary human cultivators.
However, Zhang Chen didn't have time to explain more to Yan Chutian. After saying that it was a monster, he panicked and hurriedly pulled Yan Chutian's little hand and ran out of the cave. Although Yan Chutian was sixteen years old, his body was very petite. When he stood up, he was not even half of Zhang Chen's height. Moreover, his appearance was completely different from his previous life. He was very young, like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.
With his current appearance, no one in the Heaven Realm would be able to associate him with Yan Chutian.
After running out of the cave, Yan Chutian saw that there were many figures running around in the wilderness. It seemed that the so-called monster's movements were not small. It actually alarmed so many people.
Zhang Chen tried his best to bring Yan Chutian in the direction of the crowd. With regards to this, Yan Chutian naturally wouldn't object. Right now, he was just a weak mortal. Not to mention encountering a spirit beast, even if he encountered a wild beast, his life would be in danger.
Just as they were running away, the two of them were suddenly hit by a speeding carriage and were sent flying. The two of them fell miserably in the wilderness. Yan Chutian was fine. Only his knees were a little bruised. However, when he looked over, Zhang Chen's head actually hit a huge rock. Dark red blood flowed down and dyed half of the mountain rock red. He directly fainted.
