Chapter 176: Can I Call You Daddy?

"What stupid thing is happening again?"

Rin replied grumpily, but curious because of humans’ love for excitement, walked over to see what was happening.

According to the crazy bat, is someone really selling children?

Gualarrap is very rich, but there are special programs to help the needy, as well as various welfare institutions, this kind of thing is very rare now.

He wanted to squeeze in to have a look, but because he was short, most of the onlookers were strong dock workers. The only gap was taken by Sha Ye, so he couldn’t see what was going on inside.

Normally, he would have acted arrogantly and driven people away, and if someone didn’t listen, he would let Waste Hero blow them away with wind.

But now, since he wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn’t act recklessly.

After thinking for a moment, Rin walked behind Sha Ye. He angrily looked at the dirty bat that was unexpectedly taller than him by half a head, and was about to kick her in the buttocks.

Just then, someone noticed Yan Zhi, and said, "The administrative officer is here." The onlookers scattered like vendors encountering urban management.

The expressionless Hero reacted quickly at this moment and promptly pulled Rin back two steps to prevent him from being bumped by the departing crowd.

When the onlookers left, the place suddenly emptied, leaving only a few merchants who didn’t pay much attention and continued to ask the girl questions after greeting Yan Zhi.

At this moment, Rin noticed a small child sitting on the ground with his legs wrapped around his arms. His chin was resting on his knees, and he was not raising his head, so his face was not clear. But it could be judged that he was definitely young.

The girl looked scruffy, with messy purple hair, giving the appearance of a refugee.

However, contrary to expectations, there was no sign indicating that she was selling herself to bury her father or hoping to be adopted by a kind person. The girl just kept her head down and remained silent.

Sha Ye sneakily approached Rin and jokingly said, "What do you think, shorty? Consider my proposal. It wouldn’t be bad to raise a daughter, right? Since you’re rich and have plenty of free time. If not, I can reluctantly help take care of her."

At this, the gleam in her eyes couldn’t be concealed any longer.

Rin disdainfully gave her a French look of disdain and said, "So, you’re lacking love?"

"Okay, truth be told, I find the idea of raising a well-behaved daughter quite appealing."

As she said this, Sha Ye scratched her head, seeming to recall some unpleasant memories. Her expression became complicated, "But I’m quite busy, and always on the move. The few people I consider friends are not reliable, so this is a rare opportunity."

Rin knew about Sha Ye’s background, having such a mother who only gives birth but doesn’t raise her, was indeed Sha Ye’s biggest misfortune.

Originally, if she had stayed with her human father, at least she could have grown up peacefully. But the succubus clan doesn’t allow anyone with the bloodline of the Succubus Queen, even if it’s impure, to live in the human world. So, they forcibly took her away when she was young.

Her father also passed away, and according to some implied meanings in the book, it was very likely that he died at the hands of succubus. That’s why Sha Ye hates her bloodline and her irresponsible mother so much.

It actually suited her mindset to raise a girl.

But meeting a dead bat and myself without fighting was considered good enough. Besides arguing, Rin couldn’t figure out what other relationship they had, not even a friendship.

Anyways, Rin didn’t consider himself a kind person, so he planned to have Yan Zhi take the child to an orphanage.

He already had enough foolish people to deal with. If he encountered one on the road, he wouldn’t play the villain. He would just become a director of the orphanage, right?

Furthermore, they had a mission to complete, so how could they bring along someone with an unknown background?

At that moment, the girl seemed to hear their conversation, and she unexpectedly lifted her head. Her messy hair covered half of her face and eyes, making it hard to see her clearly.

She looked through her messy hair and didn’t focus on the very noticeable Rin and Emilia, but instead immediately locked eyes on Sha Ye.

The girl’s clothes and hair were dirty, but when a small patch of her snow-white skin peeked out, it was as smooth as cream. However, this glimpse didn’t attract much attention.

The remaining few merchants seemed to have other plans in mind, showing persistence even though the girl had not acknowledged them at all until now.

Rin didn’t sense any magical fluctuations from her, so he didn’t pay much attention.

By the way, under Suyu’s guidance, Rin could slightly sense some elemental and magical fluctuations, which could be considered a small investigative skill.

"Well said, but I refuse."

Rin crossed his arms, still looking extremely disdainful, "Although I have money, I’m not running a shelter. It’s none of my business. I’m hungry and going to eat."

His appearance made him look like a cold-blooded and heartless young gentleman. Waste Hero just tilted her head, staring at the girl without saying anything.

She quietly tugged at Rin, holding her stomach with one hand, indicating that she was hungry.

"Hmm, no wonder she can be so cold and indifferent towards Suyu… such an icy turnip."

Sha Ye just shrugged, she didn’t really mean it seriously, it was just a passing fancy.

Yan Zhi said meticulously, "I will have someone inquire about her situation later and send her to the orphanage, you all need not worry."

Hearing this, the surrounding merchants could only leave in disappointment, Rin had nothing else to say, he turned and walked away, with Sha Ye following behind.

The girl with purple hair silently watched Sha Ye’s back, her expression unreadable, until Sha Ye’s figure disappeared. Suddenly, she stood up and followed.

Yan Zhi led them into a restaurant that had a vintage charm.

Rin glanced at the familiar decor, and the signboard with traditional characters that read "Old Port Flavors," causing a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

This flavor, it must be that unique flavor, right!?

Wow, no wonder it’s a novel written with a mix of Eastern and Western elements, it’s no surprise to see some strange quirks.

They walked into the shop, where a friendly waiter greeted them and handed them a menu.

As expected, they found themselves looking at a Hong Kong-style breakfast, or as some may call it, dim sum.

Emilia didn’t like fish, but she could eat shrimp, though she found it ordinary and didn’t see the need to order special shrimp dumplings for her.

Rin ordered shrimp dumplings, rice noodle rolls, and congee for himself, and for Waste Hero, he ordered spare ribs in black bean sauce and Chinese sausage rolls with congee. Then he casually threw the menu on the table, paying no attention to the other two.

Just then, there was a commotion outside the breakfast shop.

Rin looked over and saw the little girl they had encountered before walking in through the door, darting past the waitstaff who tried to shoo her away as if she were a nimble cat, making her way straight to their table.

"I’m hungry. Can I call you Dad and have some food?"

"？"
