"Sister …" The boy finally stopped crying. He rubbed his big red eyes and said weakly, "I'm hungry."
Zhu Yao stroked his head. It's good that he stopped crying. She carried the child on her back. "Let's go, big sis will bring you to eat."
In order to create a glorious image of him as her savior, Zhu Yao brought him to the most luxurious restaurant in the city, and ordered a table full of the most expensive food. Sure enough, the child stared at her with bright eyes, but also looked at her with a little fear.
"Eat it, it's all for you." She had already achieved Grain Liberation, so naturally, she didn't need to eat. Moreover, she didn't know how long she would have to poop after eating. Therefore, he sat quietly at the side and watched the child eat heartily while sweeping the table.
Zhu Yao pondered on how to prevent this child from walking on the path of a Devil's cultivation. Perhaps, she could try to change his fate, and give him some capital to make a living.
With the favor of saving his life this time as a comparison, even if Mu Meiyan were to be reborn in the future, if she were to do it again, it would only be the icing on the cake, and she would no longer be the white moonlight in his heart. Perhaps she could even use this time's goodwill to instill in him some principles such as maintaining world peace and everyone's responsibility. Yes, this is very necessary.
Zhu Yao had an idea, and the boy had already eaten his fill as well, his little stomach was already bulging out. However, he still looked at the half-eaten food with nostalgia.
She looked at her hesitantly and asked, "Big Sister, can I bring the rest back … to eat in the future?"
His cautious eyes, made Zhu Yao's heart ache a little when she looked at him. She once again stroked his head, and said. "Of course you can. If it's not enough, tell big sis. I will call for more."
"Thank you, big sister." The boy looked at her gratefully. He picked up the pot on the table and wanted to pour a cup of water for her, but found that there was no water in the pot. He obediently said, "I'll go pour some water for Big Sister. Big Sister, wait for me."
Zhu Yao nodded. Suddenly, he recalled the little radish on the Jade Forest Mountain. If this child had a decent Spirit Vein, he could bring him back and raise him together with the little radish. However, in the dream, he seemed to have three spiritual roots. With an aptitude like this, even if he were to enter the Inner Sect of Ancient Hill Sect, there would still be some risks. Moreover, she felt that she shouldn't have brought him into the immortal sect.
As Zhu Yao planned, she waited for the child to return. But who would have thought that after waiting for an hour, the person who came was not a boy, but a fiendish fat woman.
As soon as the fat woman went upstairs, she pointed at her and said, "The window seat on the second floor. That's right, it's her. Hurry up and arrest her. "The two men behind her walked up with a rope.
Zhu Yao was confused. However, how could a mortal without any spiritual energy approach her? Before he could even reach her table, he was repelled by her protective spiritual energy.
"You actually dare to resist." The fat woman put her hands on her hips and pointed at her, "Let me tell you. Your younger brother has already sold you to our Spring Garden. If you know what's good for you, you'll obediently follow me back to receive our guests. "
Younger brother? Receiving guests? Zhu Yao seemed to have figured something out in hindsight.
Damn, that stinking brat. He sold her to a brothel. What happened to saving her life? This naughty child.
Zhu Yao was fuming with anger, the cold and prideful mask on her face, shattered into pieces. This unruly brat, if she were to catch him, she would definitely spank him until his buttocks blossomed.
She casually walked towards the three people who were trying to capture her. She cast a Forgetting Art, causing them to forget about the matter of capturing her. Walking out of the restaurant. Just as she was about to use her divine sense to search for traces of him, she suddenly realized that her hands were empty.
Momma's egg. That little wimp actually stole the storage ring her master left for her. That ring had her master's imprint, and initially, she had to imprint her imprint on it before it could be considered as her possession. However, she had always been unwilling to remove her master's imprint. Adding that she could directly retrieve items from it in the first place, she had never thought of doing so.
She never expected that because it did not have her imprint, she actually did not realize it when it was stolen by a mortal child. How embarrassing.
— — — —
Zhu Yao released her divine sense, and immediately located the child's location. He was currently walking into a pawn shop. As expected, he planned on pawning her own ring.
In the eyes of people without spiritual energy, that was just an extremely ordinary ring. Only practitioners would be able to recognize that it was a storage artifact.
Zhu Yao once again concealed her figure, and with a thought, she instantly teleported into that pawn shop. Coincidentally, she heard the child's pleading voice.
Zhu Yao was startled for a moment. She wanted to see just what this little brat was trying to do.
"Shopkeeper, I beg of you. I'm really in urgent need of silver. My little brother has already been sick for three days, please do me a favor. Let me pawn this in exchange for some medicine money. "
Unfortunately, the person behind the counter was unmoved. "Shoo shoo shoo, you actually want to pawn a lousy ring? Our pawn shop isn't a place that accepts trash. Hurry and leave."
Zhu Yao's expression darkened. Lousy? When she recalled those mystic artifacts and treasures in the ring, her master would cry.
The little boy seemed to be really anxious, as he once again begged that person several times. However, the shopkeeper still did not agree. Finally, he lost his patience, picked up a broom, and chased the boy out.
The boy fell onto the ground from his push, and could only stand up while rubbing his bruised hand. With a limp, he regretfully walked away.
Zhu Yao followed after him.
The little boy walked into a remote alley, and then, walked in front of a broken temple. Taking a deep breath, the dispirited look on his face earlier, instantly revealed a smile.
"I'm back."
He pushed open the door and walked in. A boy who was wearing the same tattered clothes as him, but was a head taller than him, walked out, and fiercely glared at him. "You still know to come back? Where's the silver? Did you manage to get the silver? "
The boy's smile froze on his face. Lowering his head, he looked as though he was admitting his mistake. "N … No."
"Didn't you say you would get it back?" The slightly older boy was furious. "What about Tiger now? He's already that sick. "
"I … I will think of a way." The boy explained.
However, the older boy did not listen to him, and loudly said. "No, we agreed on today. If you don't get the money, you can't stay in this house anymore. "
"Big brother monkey, tomorrow … I will definitely be able to do it tomorrow." The boy grew anxious.
"Shoo shoo shoo." The monkey pushed him away. "You've already said that for a month. This time, no matter what you say, it won't work."
Their quarrel, alerted the people in the temple. Dozens of children walked out in groups of twos and threes, with both boys and girls included. Most likely, this group was his companions, but very soon, they might not be.
Because in that group of people, no one stood up to speak up for him. There was no sympathy, no pity. They only pointed at him, full of anger at him for going back on his words.
Children's words were always more direct and hurtful than adults'.
The boy could not argue. He could only hold back his tears that could not fall. He helplessly looked at this group of companions that he desperately wanted to integrate into, and anxiously shook his head.
"Big brother monkey, I saw him on the street today." A child who had just entered suddenly squeezed in and pointed at the boy. "Today, he stole Zang Jianba's money bag. I just happened to see the three of them chasing after him."
"What!" The monkey's face paled. His face was full of fear. "You actually dared to steal that tyrant's money bag."
"I only did it for Tiger …"
"Shut up!" The monkey became even more furious. He stomped his feet and said, "You're causing trouble for us. Quick, chase him out. If Zang Jianba and the rest saw this, they would think that we're in cahoots with him. We'll be implicated for nothing. "
"Yes, yes, yes. Chase him out."
The others responded one after another, and forcefully pushed the boy out of the temple door. The boy lost his balance, and instantly fell into a ditch outside. His entire body was covered in muddy water, and his thin clothes were completely drenched.
However, he sat in the ditch blankly and did not move, as though he was frightened by the heartlessness of his companions.
He sat for a while, before slowly crawling up. Like a wandering soul, he left the dilapidated temple. As he walked, he wiped away the tears that continuously flowed out from the corner of his eyes, but he did not cry out loud.
Zhu Yao had been following behind him the entire time, and her anger had mostly dissipated. At this moment, she understood why he was not willing to accept her good intentions, and instead, sold her out. Most probably, he had encountered too many such things, and knew the fickleness of human nature. That was why he did not dare to trust others so easily. After all, even his companions who lived together with him could betray him, let alone someone he had just met.
Zhu Yao followed him for a while, before realizing that he did not have a clear destination, and was simply wandering around the city aimlessly. Only when he reached the restaurant where she brought him to eat, did he stop for a moment. Raising his head, he took a glance, and then, he silently continued to walk away.
Devilish brat, now you understand big sister's painstaking efforts. Hmph, if I don't let you suffer a little, you won't know how to be obedient.
Zhu Yao did not show herself the entire time, and was simply waiting for him to think things through himself. Otherwise, she would have once again charged over. She believed that he would definitely be able to do something like selling her out again.
The child swayed as he walked around the city for three days. Most probably because he was really hungry, his steps were a little weak.
Swaying as he walked towards a farmer's house, a few people suddenly popped out from behind, blocking his path.
"Stinky brat, I've finally caught you." There were a total of five people in this group, and they were all adult men. Among them, there were three familiar faces. They were the three people who beat up the boy back then. However, the way they walked was a little strange.
Zhu Yao raised her brows. This was the classic example of forgetting the pain after the scar had healed!
"If not for you, stinky brat, stealing my money pouch, I wouldn't have ended up in such a state. See if I don't beat you to death today." Zang Jianba signaled his lackeys at the side with his eyes, and the few of them surrounded the boy like a swarm of bees. "Let's see which demon or god will come and save you today."
The boy took a step back a little out of fear, however, his face immediately sank again. With a look of despair, he looked at the people who were already rushing towards him. He did not even resist, and allowed himself to be grabbed by the few of them. This time, no one would come to save him. Perhaps, death was also a form of release.
The few men's anger did not lessen even a little because of the child's cooperation. Instead, they pushed the child onto the ground, raised their wooden sticks, and ruthlessly whipped the child.
