MD Ch4 Part 2
by AoiFreshly bathed, the 0a4dbec4aa child looked even ba2c55b3fb cuter. He had large eyes 9984fd9454 with long, elegant corners, a6a89893a4 and thick, dark lashes 9a33a6d5bb that cast shadows beneath dbd574d474 them when he lowered 698b9334e7 his eyelids. He was clearly starving, d27af8c349 but he ate carefully 62e4f41c43 with his mouth closed, 6f8807f94a seemingly embarrassed to show aa01c320dc his hunger in front 91ffc0d61d of me again.e704c353f2d25acc
Watching him, I picked 86d85da203 up my own bowl. The food 84dcb454df the innkeeper f46a7b9945 brought was 9a210848fb surprisingly delicious.b44500475ba34b69

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.3e401b324661504e
After the ec849261a9 meal, I 75d6cd78d9 planned to 8d298f6e57 buy Song bd482cf8a2 Qiyuan some 742c7251d3 clothes and 2b0d7591d2 a mask 5edb8b2119 for myself. A mask 881d549a44 would save 29977d0b0c me a 3923f7ef16 lot of 155f7ac4e1 trouble, and 647d3467b4 even if 8c0fd2988b Song Qiyuan be6e2ce19f found it 7be3a0e846 strange after 2f50c7ef70 his eyes d431656fa1 were healed, 6f660e3250 it was afd7742dfc better than 68b865adef him recognizing 8522c51199 me.547b72c310f98367

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.3fccaf10c6d35573
He still 9a8af76fb9 seemed anxious. It was understandable for 00a5181504 a ten-year-old boy who e9c313bd66 had just escaped death 4fca9e591e to cling to someone. I sighed 9206be8f2b and decided 6367811ae9 to take 9eb74de0b9 him with 7f645eb818 me.cf762ec3f7264840

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.41480b56f1f43a30
My heart sank as 94a375ec3e I recalled my past f59e4b1011 self, covered in blood e0b471324a and grime, and the 20d0c064de sneering faces of the d31b4a3246 cultivators.db98e14352813f54

Holding onto my d6f7e5d7bd wide sleeve tightly, ce6ed00b57 Song Qiyuan followed 0447f250bc me silently. The thought that this c43d6ce59f small child was the 797a703a9b one who would eventually 6a06df7584 cause me such misery 1b06b85127 made my heart ache.13f542169ee51ad5

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.a9158a3f3c65647c

After calming down slightly, c4ee36ea73 Song Qiyuan stared blankly 61da9185e2 into the distance and ba5748f97d whispered,171cd700e7c2d6d2

Ugh. I had d028f5e65f to stop 81cd2de9ec this habit 7f7ebe9e67 of speaking 576193e6af carelessly. I coughed and 0d60b0b9ff said,3b83c665c0e90c9f
“Yu Ke is capricious and arrogant. He probably thought those words would prevent you from escaping or he was just toying with you.”18f2a4d96e341a70

As soon as I finished speaking, the distant look in Song Qiyuan’s eyes vanished, replaced by resentment towards Yu Ke.337f4e64375eb231

There were quite a 2c4386512c few clothing stores on a593218189 the street. I quickly took care 3eb37c9f88 of our clothing needs, 84b90b263f choosing simple, high-quality garments 9785d09dcc in muted colors. Clothes make dd6efc9e26 the man, 8231695dcd as they c9566cf3e5 say. After a 21cf6afc34 bath and c23ffd531e a change 151e904d3b of clothes, dd8571262b the boy dbd7a5cf43 looked even 32e1750103 more radiant. The shopkeeper b7b11b6c46 even complimented bdea8d85d7 his handsome 21c6f14046 appearance.88b85ac9f2a18b87
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?fdbfd3baeb51fc5e

A docile three-hundred-year-old child. A child who cae9913171 puffed out his a21caadbbc cheeks when angry. That image was far 2e4486846f from the majestic Vermilion 8b69573bc8 Bird and more like d5cf06e8d6 a chubby goldfish.60330385329c31c0

The boy, still holding 4c2b2ab92d onto my robe, sensed 8c149454ba my distraction and asked.007ab4abe619cae7
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.”a140bcc108c4f3c9

I remembered 7731d20fc5 that such 0d8501b818 shops in 1d5d8316c6 my novel cc0c6b8ff2 sold interesting a1e6c5d185 items. Since there ac3313ac09 might be 89b735ff3b something useful 9e87d8b2be for Song 2c7b1a4888 Qiyuan, I e367998788 took him 762aa703bb inside.f8cb1296f4006bc1
The shop was even 91e9395b52 quieter than the street 4d32158556 outside. There were d368db14d8 only a fef38bf084 few shelves 054204fd45 inside, displaying abf996b454 a variety 0f05c5008c of strange 06e2121f3d and unusual ff5913d791 trinkets. A fat, bald old 9bc6430889 man sat in a ab1e1bb1a8 rocking chair, seemingly indifferent 631969f8de to the presence of b793bd4848 customers.c5615b93408874a8

Once again realizing 0be7785c09 the truth that 61d31ab0aa failing businesses had 51369dd3fb their reasons, I df36daa963 glanced at Song 3287a20e94 Qiyuan. The protagonist 73fced6b78 had a bcfcd10f31 natural ability 8bba8de145 to attract ba2af22f47 divine artifacts, 5bc80e4acc so I b3cd50e0ff took his 4b34cfcbab hand and 84b7713705 led him 7d837bda11 to the 8aab629cbd shelves, speaking d3218e2eaa gently,ca1dd1bec296fb9d

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,e9c5cb74f3d79b99

To my surprise, Song Qiyuan didn’t hesitate at all. He reached out and picked up a stone.cdd147d7bada0ef5
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.0ba5840c070ac3b9

The corners of Song Qiyuan’s mouth slowly curled upwards into a wide smile.490e22a2d62ecc5b

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?25ebc119991b0d64
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.ad2a7d27f87b7da1

As I held the 092c3da0de mask to my face, 42b9908710 it automatically adjusted to 3bf3610a1d fit perfectly, surprisingly comfortable. I was overjoyed 00b953bb11 to find such 0ed09e1b79 a suitable mask 0910efd874 in this unremarkable d11b9f1683 shop.b32c2b38985ee210
Song Qiyuan stood before ac3f1960f4 the shelves, clutching the 7b8adbbb47 stone to his chest, eca55b5f80 a faint blush on d1a3c15552 his small face. I returned to him, a7a24bfb2f let him hold onto 3789d4c629 my sleeve, and addressed c0e2b8f728 the old shopkeeper.3903e9de9e07a5ef

“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?”6fde35c2d3e5ab4d
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.230b72f40379ab27

My heart a897df0db8 pounded as 5392c3f94d I waited 040349a4d0 for his 4a1a46e279 answer, but c73d0b5b64 the shopkeeper e69dc26675 simply sighed. He closed 01060e202d his eyes, 3fbe024b62 leaned back 14c1e991f4 in his 07ffe83188 rocking chair, 28261afc4e and waved 1273187bdf his hand 7240cb362f dismissively.aff203d7837f0537

I was prepared 72cdc5f9d8 to pay a 307858068a hefty price, but 93b4cac1dc he was giving 712d5c541a them to me 38efbb14d5 for free. His behavior was a2003de8ae baffling. The shop 802010ac65 was strange, f536daec36 and the 8a607774f7 shopkeeper was 11c585a7fc even stranger.5e526c5342acce4c
