Chapter 553: The Mysterious Little Beggar
Not long after,
Lin Feng, together with the senior brother, buried the bodies of the third senior brother and the western senior brother on a hillside.
After that,
the senior brother seemed to have something else to attend to and hurriedly left!
Lin Feng stood alone in front of the grave, silent for a long time.
This scene felt strangely familiar!
When he had descended the mountain back then,
he had also buried the old man, gazing at the setting sun with infinite melancholy…
Only later did he find out that the old man was not dead and that he had crawled out of the grave.
But the third senior brother and the western senior brother would never come back to life,
and the world had lost two familiar faces…
……
Darkness enveloped the earth, and night soon fell!
Lin Feng did not rush to Xihai City,
after what had happened during the day, the atmosphere in Xihai City must be tense, with strict checks on incoming and outgoing people; it was clearly not the right time to go.
He found a nearby spot, lit a bonfire, and began to roast a Kun chicken.
The Kun chicken was the one he had caught in the Xihai Secret Realm before!
The Kun chicken contained spiritual energy, especially in its legs, which were delicious due to its years of running on the ground; it was a favorite among cultivators, and one could never get enough of it…
“Those ancient cultivators were really something; they could catch Kun chickens anytime, anywhere. Unlike now, Kun chickens are nearly extinct, and I only have one left!”
Lin Feng muttered to himself while turning the roasting chicken.
Before long,
the aroma of the roasted Kun chicken wafted out,
filling a small patch of the forest with the delicious scent of chicken…
At that moment,
“Rustle, rustle, rustle~”
A sudden sound of branches and leaves rubbing against each other came from deep within the dense forest.
Then,
a girl dressed in ragged clothes, dirty all over as if she had fled from a disaster, walked out from the woods.
“It smells so good! Really, it smells so good… I’m about to drool!”
The girl kept sniffing the air,
and when she saw the roasted Kun chicken in Lin Feng’s hands,
her eyes instantly lit up, sparkling like stars in the sky, beautiful and bright.
“Whoosh~”
She instinctively wanted to rush over and grab a chicken leg to eat,
but after glancing at Lin Feng, she hesitated.
This person…
Roasting chicken in this desolate mountain forest at night…
And he looked quite ugly, surely not a good person,
but then she thought,
with her current dirty beggar appearance, she was even uglier than him; what was there to worry about?
So she boldly walked up, sat down opposite Lin Feng, wiped her dirty hands on her clothes, and pretended to look weak and pitiful, asking:
“I… I’m hungry! Can you share a bit of roasted chicken with me?”
Lin Feng remained expressionless, glanced at the little beggar, and said:
“No!”
“You…”
The little beggar frowned, immediately wanting to explode with anger.
Damn it!
This princess just wants to eat a roasted chicken, and you won’t even give it?
But after thinking about the current situation, she held back and weakly said:
“But I’m hungry… can you please help me out?”
“Ridiculous… your hunger has nothing to do with me! There are trees everywhere; if you’re really hungry, you can gnaw on tree bark!”
Lin Feng sneered.
In fact, even before the little beggar appeared, Lin Feng had already noticed her with his spiritual sense.
However, he didn’t pay much attention,
because this little beggar was indeed just an ordinary person.
If there was anything special about her,
it might be that her features were quite delicate, and her eyes were big, round, and bright…
If she took a good bath, she might not look bad.
Of course,
these things were hardly worth mentioning to Lin Feng; no matter how beautiful a woman was, she was just a pretty skeleton…
“You’re really stingy!”
The little beggar gritted her silver teeth in anger.
“Yes, I am that stingy!”
Lin Feng said as he tore off a chicken leg and started eating it.
The little beggar wanted to continue cursing, but upon seeing this scene, she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva, and her stomach audibly grumbled in protest.
She was so hungry!
She really wanted to eat chicken!
“Just let me have a bite of chicken! I beg you… I haven’t eaten for three days.”
The little beggar said pitifully.
Lin Feng couldn’t be bothered to respond,
and after finishing the chicken leg in his hand, he tore off a chicken wing and started eating it.
“Wuwu~”
The little beggar thought about how she had been traveling for days,
going wherever it was remote, not getting enough to eat or sleep, and now she couldn’t even eat chicken; she buried her head in her knees and began to sob quietly.
Seeing this,
Lin Feng frowned and said irritably:
“If you want to cry, go far away, okay? It annoys me when you cry here!”
“Why are you being so mean! Is it wrong for me to want to eat chicken?”
The little beggar suddenly raised her head, glaring fiercely at Lin Feng,
but her round, big eyes were clearly shimmering with tears…
Lin Feng was taken aback.
For some reason,
when he looked at the little beggar in front of him, the face of his younger sister, Xiao Yao, appeared in his mind.
When he went missing back then,
his parents also disappeared soon after…
Was the young Xiao Yao also like this now?
Begging along the way, with no one to turn to?
“Ha~”
Lin Feng exhaled a breath of turbid air and handed a chicken leg to the little beggar.
The little beggar was a bit surprised,
as if she hadn’t expected this ugly man in front of her to give her a chicken leg…
“My mother once said: Men are most afraid of women crying, and now it seems to be true!”
The little beggar happily took the chicken leg,
and after taking a bite,
she was stunned!
Wow!
This is way too delicious!
Is there really such delicious roasted chicken in the world?
“Slurp~”
The little beggar quickly finished the chicken leg and then weakly looked at Lin Feng, saying:
“It was so good! I want more…”
“Just eat it all!”
Lin Feng, feeling annoyed by the commotion, lost his appetite for chicken.
He gave the remaining Kun chicken to the little beggar, then stood up and sat cross-legged by a big tree, closing his eyes to rest!
The little beggar stared blankly at the chicken in her hands, then looked at Lin Feng, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, and her curiosity suddenly piqued…
He really is a strange and ugly man!
He was just so fierce to her, telling her to gnaw on tree bark,
and now he had given all the chicken to her.
After thinking for a moment,
the little beggar happily started eating the chicken…
Before long,
she finished a delicious Kun chicken,
and with a satisfied burp, she felt that this was the best meal she had ever had in her life!
Then,
after hesitating for a moment,
she cautiously approached Lin Feng and said:
“Thank you!”
Lin Feng kept his eyes closed and did not respond.
“Where are you from?”
Lin Feng remained silent.
“I didn’t expect you to look quite ugly, but you have a good heart. If you hadn’t given me roasted chicken, I would have starved to death!”
The little beggar didn’t mind whether Lin Feng replied or not, rambling on to herself.
“There’s an old saying: A drop of water shall be repaid with a fountain of water. You gave me a bite to eat today, and I will surely help you greatly in the future!”
“I need your help with something big right now!”
Lin Feng opened his eyes, suppressing his anger, and said in a deep voice.
“What do you need?”
The little beggar grinned, revealing her two small tiger teeth.
“Get lost!”
Lin Feng spat out those two words.
“Oh!”
The little beggar pouted and slipped to the base of a nearby big tree, leaning against it, tightening her clothes, and fell asleep without any defenses,
quickly entering a dream and talking in her sleep.
“Hmph… they’re all bad people! I won’t pay attention to you anymore!”
“I don’t want to marry just anyone; if you don’t listen to me, I’ll leave!”
“I’m so thirsty and tired; why is the outside world so hard?”
“Hehe, roasted chicken is so delicious…”
“Damn it!”
Lin Feng couldn’t take it anymore,
he stood up and walked in front of the little beggar, wanting to slap her to death, but when he saw her dirty little face, his heart softened again.
“Forget it! What’s the point of arguing with a little girl who ran away from home?”
From her earlier ramblings,
Lin Feng could easily guess her background…
Just then,
“Swish, swish, swish~”
Several cold winds suddenly swept through the darkness,
and waves of spiritual energy fluctuated in Lin Feng’s spiritual sense, clearly visible…
“Who?”
Lin Feng immediately stood up, his expression cold.
“Get lost, or die!”
A cold voice also came from the darkness.
Then,
a group of people dressed in black armor slowly appeared in Lin Feng’s sight.
……
