She took out a piece of fruit from the space and ate it while staring at the young man. She looked up to the sky from ti to ti. Later that morning, she saw him begin to stir and slowly awaken.
“Ah! Don’t kill , don’t kill ...”
As soon as the young man woke up, he let out a cry of surprise and tried frantically to escape. His pale face was filled with fear and terror.
“Who’s going to kill you?” Feng Jiu yawned. “Now that you’re awake, I have to go.” She didn’t want to stay in this hellhole any longer.
At this ti, the young man looked at the little beggar’s tattered clothes, ssy hair and his face all grey. He breathed out softly and looked around. Seeing that all his guards were dead, his eyes reddened.
“And the old witch? Is she...is she still here?” His heart quivered at the thought of the previous scene. Even his teeth chattered as he spoke.
“I didn’t see her. I just walked in here and saw all the guards were dead. When I opened the water tank, I found you alive, then rescued you.”
Feng Jiu patted her clothes and stretched out her waist. “I’m leaving. There’s nothing to eat nor a single person here.” With that, she walked away.
“Don’t! You, please wait for .” The young man was surprised and quickly followed.
Feng Jiu didn’t stop until she got out of the town. She breathed a sigh of relief and glanced back, feeling that her life was almost lost in this place.
“Little beggar, thank you for rescuing .” The young man trotted alongside Feng Jiu.
Feng Jiu kept going forward. “I’m not interested in verbal thanks. If you want to thank , please give sothing useful.”
“Take ho, then! I’ll get soone to thank you when I get ho. I’ll also buy you a good al.” He thought that the little beggar looked so petite due to not having enough to eat at regular tis.
Feng Jiu glanced at him and asked, “Where is your ho?” She would stop by if it was on her way. But if it’s not, she felt disinclined to do so.
“It’s the Pill Sun City, nearby the Pill Sun Sect.” The youngster answered.
“Pill Sun, ah? That’s okay, then! I’ll take you along. But, rember to thank with lots of money.” It’s on the way, anyway.
When he heard her answer, the young man’s heart was overjoyed. He spoke in a hurry, “Don’t worry. As long as you take ho, I’ll let my family give you ten thousand gold coins. By the way, my na is Zhu Yue. Little beggar, what’s your na?”
“Just call Little Beggar.” Feng Jiu answered carelessly.
“Little Beggar, what is your cultivation level? Why can’t I see through?”
He was at least a Golden Core cultivator, but he could not see the little beggar’s cultivation level. Moreover, the little beggar didn’t look like ordinary little beggars, but more like those loose cultivators. This was one of the reasons why he wanted the little beggar to send him back. After all, there was soone around to protect him.
Feng Jiu didn’t answer him. Instead, she turned around and saw an ox cart coming from behind. Her eyes brightened. This ti, she could rest without having to walk by herself.
Then she walked quickly to the middle of the road and held out her hand to stop the cart. “Uncle, take us for a ride!”
When the old man saw the small beggar with a young master in brocade clothes, he was stupefied for a mont before saying, “Co on up if you don’t disdain it!”
