Zhuo Xiangzhu felt a sense of accomplishment for being able to scare the pimp so much that he didn't even dare to accept the money before handing over the little girl's slave contract.
It was probably because she could always find this kind of entertainment in the human world that she never got tired of playing in the human world.
Zhuo Xiangzhu brought the little girl out of the brothel and burned the slave contract in front of the little girl.
"Your home shouldn't be too far away from here, right? Now that the slave contract is gone, you can go home, "she persuaded the little girl.
Originally, this matter was just something he did casually. As a native Huaxia God, this kind of thing was enough. It was not appropriate for him to get involved too much and be contaminated with too much karma.
However, the little girl just lowered her head and didn't say anything. Wherever Zhuo Xiangzhu went, she followed.
On this cold day, the little girl only had a thin layer of clothing on her body. Her whole body kept shivering because of the cold, not to mention the pair of thin cloth shoes on her feet. When she walked on the unshoveled snow, the crunching sound made people subconsciously want to shrink their necks from the cold.
Even so, the little girl didn't complain. She still silently followed behind Zhuo Xiangzhu.
This made Zhuo Xiangzhu a little vexed.
As a god, it wasn't difficult to get rid of the little girl if she sped up a little. But then, wouldn't it be meaningless for her to save the little girl …?
In the end, she could only stop and look back at the little girl. She said helplessly, "So, didn't I tell you to go home? Why do you keep following me? I don't have the luxury to take care of idlers. "
The little girl was silent for a long time. When Zhuo Xiangzhu's patience was about to run out, she slowly said, "My father died on the battlefield. My stepfather was addicted to gambling. Last year, he sold me to a human trafficker for three coins of silver … My mother watched me being taken away with her own eyes. No matter how much I cried and screamed, she didn't even reach out to stop them. Even if I do go home now, I will only be sold again … "
Speaking of this, the girl smiled bitterly. "Furthermore, there's an 80% chance that I won't meet a kind-hearted person like you next time. Instead of living the life of a prostitute who pretends to be happy in front of people but washes her face with tears behind people, I'd rather freeze to death in the corner of the street."
"Since that's the case, I'll give you fifty taels of silver. Although it's not much, it's enough for you to settle down and live a stable life for a few years. Is that okay?"
Because Zhuo Xiangzhu became a god through incense, he did not cultivate the Great Path of Ruthlessness. Therefore, his emotions were basically the same as a normal person's. After listening to the girl's words, although he sympathized with her, he could not just casually let a little girl become a god's servant, right?
In addition, because the reason was a little more complicated than he had imagined, the cause and effect might be much greater than he had expected at the beginning.
Thus, she decided to spend some money to sever this karma. It could also be considered as training in the mortal world and a step towards perfecting her Dao Heart.
"My lord is kind, but now the flames of war are raging and bandits are everywhere. Even a rich family may not be able to protect their wealth, let alone a child like me." The little girl shook her head and rejected Zhuo Xiangzhu's suggestion, which could be considered a great temptation to ordinary people. After all, in the era of war, fifty taels of silver's purchasing power was much more practical than that of cash. Ordinary people might not even be able to gather so much cash in one go. She said in an exceptionally rational manner, "Not to mention the bandits who rob my house, even if the ruffians on the street see my lord leave, they can snatch my money away in the blink of an eye."
"…"
Zhuo Xiangzhu was a little surprised. If these words were said by an adult, it would be normal, but coming from a little girl, it was a little surprising.
However, from this, it could also be seen how much this little girl had suffered to have such a mature mentality.
Unfortunately, even so, he could not carelessly make her his servant. In fact, this kind of mature child was more likely to develop a distorted worldview and eccentric character because of some things that they experienced when they were young.
Fortunately, the life of a god was extremely long. Even if she came to the mortal world to patrol for eight to ten years, it was just a snap of the fingers for her. Thus, he had plenty of time to observe her character.
"In that case, you can follow me for a while."
Hearing what he said, the little girl's face immediately showed joy. However, it could be seen that she was indeed mature. Even at this time, she did not forget to be polite. She bowed to Zhuo Xiangzhu and thanked him, "Thank you, my lord!"
"Don't call me lord." As the Earth God, even if the officials of this land called him lord, he could completely accept it, let alone a little girl. However, Zhuo Xiangzhu himself did not like to be called that. "Call me lord … cough, Young Master Zhuo will do."
"Okay, Young Master." The little girl replied obediently.
"By the way, what's your name?" Zhuo Xiangzhu nodded with satisfaction and then asked the little girl.
"I don't have a name. When I was at home, my parents called me lord, my stepfather called me a bastard, and the manager of the brothel called me a stinky girl."
The little girl answered honestly.
"In that case, you can just take my surname, Zhuo." Zhuo Xiangzhu was not the kind of person who liked to dawdle. He immediately said this. She looked around and finally found that the somewhat gloomy sky was covered by a thick sea of clouds. However, the clouds were covered with ripple-like patterns. At first glance, it looked very beautiful. He decided, "My name will be Yunyi. How about the name Zhuo Yunyi?"
"As you wish, Young Master." The little girl bowed again, but the joy in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Okay, Yunyi, let's go and eat first."
Zhuo Xiangzhu smiled and strode forward.
"Zhuo Yunyi, Zhuo Yunyi … From today onwards, I'll be called Zhuo Yunyi." Only then did the little girl reveal a happy and excited smile. Carrying the hope for the future, she quickly followed her new master step by step.
At a nearby street corner.
"So the Earth God is called Zhuo Yunyi …" Xu Shenxing had a look of realization.
Mo Li also nodded in agreement.
"So you don't know her real name?" Xiao Zhengyi ridiculed with an embarrassed expression.
"Because when she first appeared, she called herself the Earth God. I thought the Earth God was her name …" Xu Shenxing replied innocently.
"Hey, hey, do you really think of her as a friend?" Xiao Zhengyi's expression became even more embarrassed.
"Friends are baseball," Mo Li said seriously.
"At least it's football! Even kicking her is better than beating her with a stick! "Xiao Zhengyi ridiculed three times in a row.
"Stop fooling around, they're going far away. Let's hurry up and catch up." Xu Shenxing interrupted Xiao Zhengyi's words.
"Who is the reason I ridiculed her!!!"
