The beggar raised his head and looked at Shangguan Xinyi, whose face was covered in wounds. His eyes were filled with fear as he said in a trembling voice," I…I don't have a name. I'm thirteen years old this year, and I've been begging for food for thirteen years…Big Sister…I…I'm really hungry…"
"I can reward you with a meal! But…have you ever thought about what you're going to do after this meal? "You will continue to starve, you will not be able to eat for days, and one day you will starve to death on this bustling street, there will not even be a person to collect your corpse, you……" Shangguan Xinyi paused: "Do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life?”Her words were deliberately provoking the beggar. She wanted to see if the beggar's reaction was what she wanted.
The beggar retracted his hand, his eyes filled with unwillingness, but he said,"I don't want to, but what can I do? I was born to be a slave. I can only watch those rich businessmen and nobles. I don't even dare to ask for the lives of ordinary people. I can't help but want to!" At this moment, his eyes became extremely sad, but there was nothing he could do.
"Haha!" Shangguan Xinyi smiled. Fate? Had her life ever been good? But she refused to believe that this was her fate! Even if it was arranged by the heavens, she had to take a gamble, even if it was against the heavens! "You! Are you willing to follow me? I can guarantee that you won't starve from now on, and that one day, those rich merchants and nobles will even lower their heads to you!”She seemed to be very satisfied with the beggar's unwilling expression.
The beggar's eyes turned from grief to shock, and then to excitement."I'm willing! As long as I can become what you said, I'm willing to follow you. Even if I die tomorrow, I'm willing!”
"I won't let you die! But before that, you will live in incomparable pain! I will make you a strong warrior, but if you don't persevere and fail to meet my requirements, you will suffer more than death! Can you…take it?" Shangguan Xinyi's eyes turned cold. She stretched out a hand to lift the beggar's chin and asked coldly.
"I'm willing! I'm not afraid of suffering! But…" The beggar looked at Shangguan Xinyi firmly, but his eyes immediately darkened."But…Sister, can you let my sister follow you? "I'm afraid that without me, she…she…" The beggar choked before he could finish his sentence.
Shangguan Xinyi did not say anything. She released the beggar's chin and slowly stood up.
"Sister…don't go!" The beggar anxiously looked at Shangguan Xinyi, who had just stood up, afraid that she would turn around and leave."Why don't…why don't you use me to exchange for my sister! I can continue to beg for food. Can my sister follow you?”His eyes were filled with desire.
"You! What ability do you have to make me accept you and your sister? Tell me!" Shangguan Xinyi's face was still as cold as ever, not changing at all because of the beggar's words. However, she was praising this beggar in her heart. He actually gave up the chance to survive in such a difficult situation. This person would definitely be her right-hand man in the future!
"As long as you agree to take my sister and let her follow you, I can guarantee that my sister and I are willing to do anything for you in my lifetime, including giving up my life!”The boy said confidently.
Shangguan Xinyi frowned,"Why are you and your sister willing to do anything for me, only to give up your life?". What about your sister's life?" She was waiting for the beggar's answer. If the beggar's answer did not satisfy her, then she did not want him.
The beggar clenched his fists. Sister…I want my sister to live. I want her to live. I can't give up my life for her…"
Before the boy could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shangguan Xinyi's cold voice.""Where is your sister? Bring me there!" This was the kind of person she wanted! When she saw this beggar, she was attracted by the aura he was hiding. It was an aura that belonged to a king. Although this aura was very weak, she was still able to see through it. If this aura alone could make Shangguan Xin Yi spend so much effort to attack him from the side? Of course not. She was extremely optimistic about this beggar's bones and muscles. She believed that such a person would definitely become an expert in the martial arts world in the future. He might even become her right-hand man! As for his sister, it would be good if she was like him. If she was not as good as him, then it was not impossible for her to raise an idle person!
The beggar looked troubled and his eyes were filled with annoyance." Sister…I…I'm too hungry to walk…"
"Where is your sister? What's her name?" Shangguan Xinyi lowered her head to look at the beggar and asked softly.
"In the empty temple not far ahead, she…her name is Fat Lass.”The beggar replied, his eyes filled with warmth.
"Good! Wait for me here for the time being! I'll go find your sister!" Shangguan Xinyi touched the beggar's head and said softly. She had some plans for going there herself. She wanted to see this fat girl! If it was someone she could use, she would definitely spare no effort to nurture him. If it was not someone she could use, she would waste her foundation and let him serve her for life. She was not being vicious, but she should be careful in everything in this world. She did not want to raise a tiger to invite trouble. She could trust this beggar, but she might not be willing to trust this fat girl who did not know the situation! She had to be on guard! Shangguan Xinyi stood up and walked towards the direction that the beggar had pointed out.
The little beggar looked at Shangguan Xinyi's back, and tears fell. He swore in his heart that he would protect her at any time in this life, even if it meant breaking her bones! If it wasn't for this sister, he, a beggar, might have starved to death on this bustling street. How could he repay such a favor even if he had to die?
"Your name is Fat Lass?" Shangguan Xin Yi walked into the ruined temple and looked around. Finally, she saw a beggar who looked like a skeleton in a corner.
"Who…who are you?" The beggar raised his head in confusion, and then pulled Shangguan Xinyi's dress with all his might.""Miss…I beg you to give me some food! "I…My brother and I haven't eaten anything for a few days…" Her eyes were filled with desire.
Shangguan Xinyi couldn't help but feel a little helpless. They were really siblings, they even used the same method to beg for food. They both pulled on her Luo Qun: "Do you want to never starve in the future? If you follow me, you won't starve anymore. Are you willing?”Shangguan crouched down and reached out to hold the hand that was tugging at her dress. Traces of her breath were sent towards her. She was waiting…waiting for the poor girl's answer. If the answer was not what she wanted, her breath would completely disturb her body and make her unable to walk upright for the rest of her life.
"Really…really?" The beggar's eyes were filled with anticipation. Then, his eyes darkened as if he was saying,""Then let my brother follow you, okay? Brother knows everything. Let him stay by your side! Can I not let him suffer from cold and hunger?”The beggar asked carefully.
This answer was exactly what Shangguan Xinyi wanted. She slowly injected her breath into the beggar's body and circulated it through her body. Every time it passed through the beggar's body, it became warmer. Only when the beggar felt warm all over did she withdraw her hand."Get up! Follow me!" She didn't say much and gave a direct order.
The beggar moved his body to get up from the ground and looked at Shangguan Xinyi in surprise. She knew her physical condition. Not to mention getting up, even sitting up was extremely difficult. If it wasn't for the fact that she didn't want to miss this opportunity today, why would she try her best to get up from the ground? She thought that getting up would be extremely painful, but she didn't expect it to be so easy. Why was it like this? It must have something to do with this person in front of her. Then, whether her brother could escape the life of a beggar in the future would depend entirely on this big sister in front of her…She suddenly knelt down and kowtowed."Big sister, I beg you, can you let my brother follow you? I beg you…"
"Get up and follow me! Your brother is waiting for you outside! If you don't hurry up, I might change my mind!”Shangguan Xinyi frowned as she looked at the beggar whose forehead was stained with blood from kowtowing.
"Really? Thank you, Big Sister!" When the beggar heard that her brother was waiting outside, she was extremely happy. As long as her brother could eat his fill, she would be happy even if she starved to death. Although she was a beggar, she was not a stupid person. How could she not understand the meaning behind this big sister's words?
Shangguan Xinyi did not look at the beggar, nor did she answer the beggar's question. Instead, she walked past her and walked straight out. How could the beggar called Fat Lass care about that? She happily followed behind Shangguan Xinyi, the corners of her mouth almost curling up to the sky! This was the most terrifying appearance. Just imagine a skinny beggar with a bloody forehead, sunken eyes, and a terrifying smile. He looked like a little ghost that had run out of Yama Hall. It was really terrifying. If there was someone else at this moment, that person would probably be so scared that he would faint.
"Fat Lass…what's wrong with you? Why was there so much blood? " You…Stop laughing…It's so scary…" The person who spoke was none other than Fat Lass 'brother! When he saw his little sister following behind Shangguan Xinyi, he was really frightened. How was this his little sister? What a ghost…
"Big brother!" Fat Lass did not seem to hear what her brother said. She was only happy. When she saw her brother, she quickly hugged him on the ground.
"Ah! A ghost! Fat Lass…You…Stay away from me!”The beggar who was hugging her screamed in fear.
"Pfft!" Shangguan Xinyi couldn't help but laugh when she saw the siblings like this."Hehe…Fat Lass, why are you called Fat Lass?”She looked at the two beggars hugging each other and felt envious. Even beggars had kinship, but what about her? He was just a pitiful person who was schemed against by his relatives.
"Brother gave me this name. Brother said that I'm thin and gave me a fatter name.”Fat Lass let go of her brother and got up from the ground.
What a thoughtful brother, Shangguan Xinyi praised in her heart. Such kinship was probably something she would never be able to taste in her life. She was worried that her sister was too thin and wanted to use her name to change her sister. Although this thought was only self-comforting, it reflected the warmth of kinship. Shangguan Xinyi suppressed her sadness and said lightly,"You siblings can change your names privately, but today…" Shangguan Xinyi paused and took a deep breath: "Today, I will give you a new name. What do you think?”She was asking them. If they didn't agree, she wouldn't force them.
