C1 (1/2)
Five years later, on the continent of the Magic Continent, the capital of the Yutang Empire, Big Dipper City.
This was a city with ancient Chinese architectural styles, where the streets were busy with pedestrians.
Their faces and clothes were different. Some of them were wearing green leather clothes with pointy ears while carrying longbows and arrows on their backs.
There were some Cynocephali who were dressed in beast skins and had long blades and axes hanging from their bodies.
In the flow of people, a five-year-old child was curiously looking at everything on the street.
The little boy's round face had a pair of bright eyes, and his eyes flickered with a hint of excitement.
He wore a luxurious brocade robe, and around his neck was a longevity lock made of pure gold. A faint sense of nobility exuded from his body.
At the back of his head, his short hair was combed into a mischievous ponytail, adding to his adorable and mischievous vibe.
Walking on this street, the little boy looked around curiously.
As if he had smelled something, he narrowed his eyes and sniffed the air. His actions were as cute as a cunning little fox who had found his prey.
”What kind of meat is this? Beef or pork? ”Why does this smell feel so strange and good?”
Following that indescribable fragrance, he arrived at a small stall that sold roasted beast meat. Looking at the meat rack that was still steaming, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
The one who was selling the roasted beast meat was a middle-aged woman.
She noticed the little boy in front of the stall, and couldn't help but drool as she saw him staring at the barbecue. His cute little appearance made her feel cold and handsome.
Smiling faintly, the woman picked up a small knife and cut off a piece of grilled beast meat before handing it to the young boy.
The little boy was stunned for a moment. He looked at the fragrant roasted meat in front of him and looked at the woman in confusion.
The woman had a kind smile on her face, and she seemed to be talking to him softly.
The boy hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly took the roast meat and took a bite.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he smiled sweetly at the woman.
Seeing the little boy smile at her, the woman was also very happy. She stroked his head and cut off another piece of beast meat, wanting to give it to the little boy.
The little boy shook his head and smiled. He bowed towards the woman before turning around and running away.
Surprised by the little boy's politeness, the woman who set up the stall also smiled slightly. She put the cut meat back on the meat rack and continued to shout about her business.
The boy's attire and his actions made him stand out in the bustling street, attracting the attention of the surrounding pedestrians.
Seeing him happily enjoying the roasted meat, everyone on the street felt that he was cute. At the same time, a sliver of doubt appeared in their eyes, ”Which family is this young master from?” With no follower by his side, could he have sneaked out? ”
The little boy did not pay attention to the surrounding gazes. He was happily tasting the roast meat in his hands and did not pay any attention to it as he bumped into the woman who was coming towards him.
He staggered and was about to fall to the ground, but a pair of snow-white legs held him back in time.
”Kid, are you alright?” Did elder sister hurt you? ”
Above his head, a gentle and pleasant voice entered the boy's ears. He looked at the remaining half of the roasted meat on the ground dizzily. He felt that it was a pity. When he raised his head, he was stunned.
The woman he bumped into had skin as white as snow, eyebrows as distant as daisies, and eyes as bright as the stars. As she spoke, a faint, otherworldly aura assaulted his senses.
Although she still looked a little childish, she seemed to be able to charm all living things.
Seeing the little boy in a daze, a delicate and pretty maid, who wore a long palace dress, also softly asked, ”Kid, what is your name? What about your family? Why are you here alone? ”
The little boy looked at the two of them in confusion. It was unknown if he did not understand, or if he did not. This made the two of them look at each other in dismay.
He frowned slightly. There was a trace of hesitation on the little boy's face. He thought to himself, ”What is this big sister talking about?” I never learned the language here, I don't understand it at all. ”Ugh …” Are you blaming me for dirtying her clothes? ”
Noticing the grease on the girl's clothes, the boy understood immediately.
He wanted to apologize, but due to the fact that he was unable to speak properly, he did not know what to say.
Seeing the boy looking at her with a confused expression, the girl thought that he had strayed away from his family, so she touched his head and asked, ”Kid, where is your home? Elder sister will take you home, okay? ”
After saying that, the girl extended her hand towards him.
The little boy was startled. He was surprised when he saw the smile on the girl's face, ”What is this little sister trying to do? Why are you smiling so brightly at me? Why did you reach out to me? You want me to go with her?! Where to? Could he be a child trafficker? Was there anyone who was as beautiful as the trafficker? ” As he thought of this, he secretly took a step back.
When the young girl saw that the boy had suddenly taken a step back, she became vigilant. She looked at the maid beside her with suspicion and asked, ”Jing Xin, what happened to him?”
”Miss, perhaps he is a little afraid.” Jing thought for a moment before replying.
”Scared? ”What are you afraid of?” The young girl asked curiously.
”Hee. Hee. ”Miss, he probably thinks you're a bad person.” Jing Xin laughed.
”Stupid heart, how do I look like a bad person? Is there a villain as beautiful as me? ” The young girl rebuked Jing Xin with a glance.
”Yes …” Yes, Miss doesn't look like a bad person. But just because Jing Xin thinks that way, doesn't mean this child doesn't think that way? ”
”That's right, I suddenly spoke to him and even wanted to send him home. Isn't he very similar to a bad guy?” The young girl immediately understood.
”Hee …” Jing Xin covered his mouth and chuckled.
The girl turned her head and glared at her. Jing Xin immediately covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
She rolled her eyes at him again and said amiably to the little boy, ”Little guy, big sis is not a bad person. How about I give you some candy?” As he spoke, he took out two candies and handed them over to the child.
”What is this? Sugar? What did this little sister suddenly give me candy for? Was he really a trafficker? ”No, I have to stay away from them, or else I won't even know when I'll be sold.” The little boy looked at the candy in her hand and took two steps back in alarm.
”Cluck, cluck, cluck.” Miss, it's not that I'm talking about you, but that you're acting more like a bad person now. ” Jing Xin could no longer conceal his smile.
Seeing that the boy had become even more vigilant, the girl became embarrassed. She rolled her eyes at Jing Xin and asked, ”Then how do you think I should tell him so that he doesn't look like a bad person?”
Just as the girl turned her head, the boy took the opportunity to turn and run.
”Ah, miss, he's run away.” Jing Xin noticed this scene and quickly said.
”What?” He ran away? ”Let's chase them.” The girl was taken aback for a moment. Turning her head to see the boy shuttling back and forth in the crowd, she hurriedly chased after him.
Jing Xin chased after him with a puzzled look on his face. ”Miss, why are we chasing him?”
