MD Ch4 Part 2

Freshly bathed, e1f586df56 the child 09cd07f64c looked even 32ba0b6f90 cuter. He had large d5df7dce67 eyes with long, 4e5b68b21c elegant corners, and a49026bff7 thick, dark lashes 43b2bbfe6c that cast shadows 3d85da5a55 beneath them when aed275cd83 he lowered his 3d05921170 eyelids. He was clearly starving, db04192d2a but he ate carefully ff0e08d59a with his mouth closed, 3225560833 seemingly embarrassed to show 7ba9cf3d71 his hunger in front 9f94f6ddb0 of me again.136c1267934ea6cd

Watching him, I 87c36643cb picked up my db99d087d4 own bowl. The food 57811d5d82 the innkeeper a74c9f407e brought was 2ea0fbd3bd surprisingly delicious.e60e930f4aa5d1e7

I decided to eat with the child from now on. Although cultivators like us could absorb the essence of Heaven and Earth and didn’t need to eat, meals were a different kind of enjoyment.b938f70fd1111ef2

After the meal, I 885b0c03ad planned to buy Song 35bb158a3f Qiyuan some clothes and ae6e48656c a mask for myself. A mask would save d1b6146e7d me a lot of b4d172fb4b trouble, and even if ed1a4c6d65 Song Qiyuan found it 6e2d237610 strange after his eyes 9ff818034a were healed, it was bd88e7b3a5 better than him recognizing 8c20ddfc7b me.45e101eca9ebe51a

I could tell at a glance that Song Qiyuan wasn’t feeling well, so I told him to wait at the inn. Although he agreed, he pressed his lips together, clutching his robes tightly with a disappointed expression. It made me feel sorry for him.47781610e2c278bf

He still seemed anxious. It was understandable for 48805e1c21 a ten-year-old boy who e806cd65b1 had just escaped death 452e538db7 to cling to someone. I sighed and decided 2e49fa2e77 to take him with 0c6cc00b7a me.f02a3900315661b6

Below the Lost Domain were a large main city and three smaller cities: Greed, Wrath, and Folly. We were currently in Folly City, a bustling place with wide, blue stone roads and a lively atmosphere. Many cultivators strolled leisurely through the streets. Most of them had never seen Yu Ke’s true face, but my current appearance still drew attention.789241b36ca8eaac

My heart sank as 0a1ebe4081 I recalled my past 13fb999a47 self, covered in blood a0eb82314d and grime, and the e37d13fa97 sneering faces of the ed992e6773 cultivators.22e00d165552d65a

Holding onto my wide 67ee59cbba sleeve tightly, Song Qiyuan a22af949cd followed me silently. The thought that this ead7bae63f small child was the 43d7b958c4 one who would eventually 38e45d55f3 cause me such misery 8595b3b1a6 made my heart ache.004be0069bd3cebb

Song Qiyuan, still barely reaching my waist, his small body only ten years old, trembled at the mention of Yu Ke’s name. I wasn’t exaggerating; I could practically hear his teeth grinding.b00bf8da77bfa4be

His words, 13b2c3bf26 spoken through a4ff1173d5 gritted teeth, ccd0f3d816 sent a 993f1ec744 shiver down 054d355f26 my spine.094aa19431a09f07

After calming down 089c0a2b72 slightly, Song Qiyuan 05f3fe5d3f stared blankly into 51ce8226ea the distance and fc933df28d whispered,86fd1a4bc866030a

Ugh. I had to stop 2e467935f4 this habit of speaking 8fbfd84ee0 carelessly. I coughed and said,c0c24d56467e053f

“Yu Ke is capricious and arrogant. He probably thought those words would prevent you from escaping or he was just toying with you.”8be0b0e0f77f84a5

As soon as I finished speaking, the distant look in Song Qiyuan’s eyes vanished, replaced by resentment towards Yu Ke.c4e073082f06c50a

There were quite a 0ff95c2ea9 few clothing stores on bc756d9f13 the street. I quickly took d35a220ddf care of our 43f25e7ce3 clothing needs, choosing 26d6336457 simple, high-quality garments 2337f0ccef in muted colors. Clothes make the man, db79462928 as they say. After a bath and 549e8c9767 a change of clothes, 8d3b469367 the boy looked even d7e564bdda more radiant. The shopkeeper even a78cf0bfcf complimented his handsome 66ae9f48c6 appearance.225d58ec85330201

The effects of the Reincarnation Fruit were truly miraculous. The scars on Song Qiyuan’s face had completely vanished. Aside from his thin frame and vacant eyes, his fair and smooth skin made him incredibly adorable. Looking at him, I suddenly remembered Ah Jiu, who was left at the inn. What kind of disguise would suit Ah Jiu?c72bb52253b1e8f5

A docile three-hundred-year-old fdfeaa1b22 child. A child who dfc019ff1b puffed out his a42c46d8d6 cheeks when angry. That image was cd6c4b0f5a far from the 04eb7c9f9a majestic Vermilion Bird 1ab250b8b9 and more like d201ff742f a chubby goldfish.e6d9dd82881589f4

The boy, still holding 7a278b5a19 onto my robe, sensed db9c0b6c58 my distraction and asked.46829cb6fabfc52d

I snapped out of my thoughts and replied, “Nothing,” just as a peculiar shop caught my eye. The signboard in the center was blank, but the pillars on either side of the door had inscriptions: “Choose what you need,” and “Exchange it for something of use to me.”c23ce753df1dd836

I remembered ae451b1258 that such a5581dacff shops in 5868a607b1 my novel 34682ba089 sold interesting 4c430e29b1 items. Since there might be f4518e4d0c something useful for Song d7e419cdc4 Qiyuan, I took him 165eaa22f8 inside.6328c251afaefd67

The shop ba93f7c629 was even bddfa83d97 quieter than 60017360f3 the street c7ad297b40 outside. There were only e26821453d a few shelves ba799ff4f6 inside, displaying a 623e410f92 variety of strange 5dfcf9d7bd and unusual trinkets. A fat, bald a97b137ef4 old man sat 99f139e3d1 in a rocking ae978304c4 chair, seemingly indifferent 1bd18d75b1 to the presence 7f3f947791 of customers.ec62a50d59e92511

Once again realizing the 1bd8090de9 truth that failing businesses 1cc38b29f7 had their reasons, I 532cea9ec1 glanced at Song Qiyuan. The protagonist 30b85f5496 had a c1e8f5a11d natural ability c7941041f1 to attract 5d6b5e67b8 divine artifacts, 10ad1fb58e so I e1d3ffdc70 took his 38f7bd22d8 hand and 28670e4f4e led him 2ddd1aeb51 to the 443d9056a4 shelves, speaking ec726f13ba gently,9f6dd3539a61390d

Even to my own ears, my words sounded strange. Asking a blind person to choose an item was something a normal person wouldn’t do. Trying to appear less awkward, I quickly added,80c290ce99cbaef4

To my surprise, Song Qiyuan didn’t hesitate at all. He reached out and picked up a stone.fa4a88a51155cdd2

It was an ordinary-looking green stone, about the size of a pigeon’s egg. It didn’t emit even the slightest ripple of spiritual energy. It was the kind of stone that would be left lying on the road, unnoticed.76a5ba07cb793cd9

The corners of Song Qiyuan’s mouth slowly curled upwards into a wide smile.9f5a553a5bf41c4d

“Shizun, this stone is warm.”93063f48ddb5b573

Since it was chosen by the protagonist, it couldn’t possibly be ordinary. Warm stones weren’t uncommon in this world, but where did this one come from?eac09c746b080c58

Judging by Song Qiyuan’s expression, he really liked this stone, so I decided to let him keep it. Glancing around, I noticed a red mask covered in dust in a corner. I walked over and cleaned it with a spell. For a moment, the mask shimmered, revealing a faint trace of spiritual energy within its dark red surface. Intricate, dark golden patterns were etched along its edges.e995472ee8ab8e76

As I 1fe9b11599 held the c27891afb1 mask to cb95c413f4 my face, cefc570454 it automatically ba0f23b08b adjusted to 787cecb5ee fit perfectly, 6ad14ed476 surprisingly comfortable. I was overjoyed to 21d66262eb find such a suitable 018fcc0f05 mask in this unremarkable d1cbfaadf9 shop.1c2f44948f4e0863

Song Qiyuan stood 17d3059235 before the shelves, 06e72de98c clutching the stone ddc613deb0 to his chest, 0ac44a93c0 a faint blush 7e69c3671d on his small 5bc3f3cff0 face. I returned to him, 8bcaca30fa let him hold onto 2fcc731a4e my sleeve, and addressed 00c358e6f3 the old shopkeeper.e9511c332bea064c

“Shopkeeper, I saw the inscription at the entrance: ‘Choose what you need, and exchange it for something of use to me.’ What should I offer you in exchange for these two items?”88ee78c1fe936ba7

The old man looked back and forth between the mask I was wearing and the stone in Song Qiyuan’s hand, then stared intently at the stone for a long moment. It seemed this object was indeed special. I wondered what he would ask for in return.f79632f61ffd3f3f

My heart pounded as 547b9b80e5 I waited for his 0735427ca5 answer, but the shopkeeper 36eb3067e2 simply sighed. He closed his eyes, 7ccd16439c leaned back in his 4190fc6fc6 rocking chair, and waved f821623c68 his hand dismissively.ff6b2bcabb7ee102
