C9 The Lack of Money be a Nuisance(1)

Meng'er, who was in Xiao Bai's embrace, cried like a little child. Even though Xiao Bai kept stroking her head saying that she was alright, he was still unable to stop her crying.

However, the Human Demon who was always suppressed by Meng'er had suddenly resisted, successfully escaping. After escaping, he no longer wanted to kill Bai, because his strength was still insufficient, so he directly escaped, his speed was incomparably fast.

Bai was even more afraid that the Human-Demon Society would make a move on Meng'er, so he chose to protect Meng'er first before chasing down the Human-Demon. However, after missing out on this opportunity, he didn't know if he would be able to successfully defeat the Human Demons the next time they met. This was because the Human Demons might have already fully recovered their strength the next time they met.

No matter what, Xiao Bai was still comforting Meng'er. After picking her up, Xiao Bai stopped sobbing and said to Xiao Bai with wide, watery eyes, "Xiao Bai … Are your injuries alright … "

Judging from her pitiful look, it was as if she was extremely afraid of hearing that something was up. If that happened, this little ancestor might even cry for a while.

As expected, Bai Xiao still shook her head and revealed a rare smile. "I'm fine. I made Meng'er worry."

He held her tighter and consoled the shivering Meng'er softly. Looking at her appearance, she must have been quite frightened just now. It was all her fault for not being able to protect her properly, which was why she was frightened.

Actually, many years later, Xiao Bai would finally understand that the reason why Meng'er was crying today was not because she was frightened, but because she was injured, and that the injury was caused by Meng'er. She was only crying because she was afraid that he would be angry and that he would leave.

But this would be a long, long time in the future, so let's not talk about it for now.

In a corner of the Nine Prefectures, in a dimly lit hall, a crisp sound rang out inadvertently. This sound was not common in this place, so it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Immediately after, a mirror-like rock in the hall began to glow with silver light. Everyone's eyes were staring at the mirror, because on the mirror, there was an amazing battle that happened with Bai and the Humans.

Everyone looked up nervously and could not help but swallow their saliva. That man's cultivation was actually able to completely suppress an assassin who was a Heaven Trampling Stage expert.

The so-called killer was the man possessed by the first Human Devil. All the news he received before his death was sent back here through the sensing jade on his waist. That was why these people were able to see this scene.

Of course, there were two ways to obtain a jade token. The first way was to record a killer's life. Only when the killer died would the jade token notify them that the killer had fallen.

The second function was to notify them of their deaths.

And this was the most secretive assassination organization in the world of the nine continents, known as the underworld.

The Yellow Springs had appeared and gone to the Yellow Springs!

However, they never would have thought that the Underworld Assassin would lose. Although it had been a long time since such a thing happened, it shouldn't have happened.

It was not only because the assassins were strong, but more importantly because as a killer, he knew how to hide himself. After a successful or failed attack, even if he couldn't win, he would still have the ability to escape, so how could he be easily killed by a man.

Since they could not see what happened after his death, they could only judge the truth based on their own guesses. Naturally, the spearhead was also aimed at Bai.

"Ghost Killer is the most talented assassin in the younger generation. It's a pity that he died." His purpose for coming this time should be to assassinate the Qionghua Sect Leader, but since his employer is already dead, there is no need to carry out his mission. "

At this moment, a very reputable old man spoke. Although he also saw that person attack that assassin, that assassin did not die by that person's hands. Rather, he died from heavy injuries.

"We, the Underworld, have never done business with a loss, so this debt is still according to the old rules. Let's record it down and wait for the invitation to kill his business." The old man pointed at the white on the screen with the scepter in his hand and said blandly.

According to the rules of the underworld, one of them was like this. When the killer was accidentally killed and the opponent wasn't a target, the killer wouldn't do anything and would only take note of the debt. In the future, if they had the task of killing the killer, they would pay double the price.

Because Gloria was an assassin's organization, not a group, there were no constraints between the partners, only benefits. If she used her power for a killer, then she would waste more financial and material resources, as well as her most precious manpower.

In short, he remembered this debt. Although he did not know that person's name, it was very easy to distinguish it from his appearance. It was because his appearance could be said to be unique even in the Nine Provinces.

Bai didn't know that he had been targeted by some assassin's organization. After a simple treatment of the wound on his chest, he brought Meng'er and followed the faint aura left behind by the Human Devil to once again embark on the journey to search for the Devil.

Naturally, Xiao Bai did not say goodbye to anyone. Shui Wuyi was only brought back to the Qionghua Sect by him, then left with Meng'er.

Xiao Bai was not familiar with the people from the Qionghua Sect, and the reason he saved Shui Wuyi was because she once protected Meng'er, and it was Meng'er who knocked her unconscious.

"Bai Bai, where are we going?"

Meng'er asked in an innocent voice with her big watery eyes and a blissful smile on her face.

Xiao Bai also smiled. "Let's go to a new place …"

To be honest, he didn't know where she was going either. The Humans and Demons had run away, and Meng'er's illness had not been resolved, leaving him with less than ten days. If Meng'er's illness were to recur after ten days, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Therefore, this trace of smile was accompanied by a faint sense of worry.

Meng'er frowned unhappily. "Bai Bai, why are you unhappy?"

Bai was surprised for a moment. He had not expected Meng'er to have such a keen intuition. However, before he could open his mouth, Meng'er shouted once again.

"If Meng'er wasn't happy, she wouldn't be happy either! "Meng'er will … will …"

As he spoke, he was actually on the verge of tears again!

Xiao Bai was so scared that he hurriedly hugged her and coaxed her, "Xiao Bai is not unhappy, it really is not." "Meng'er, don't cry. Meng'er won't be happy until she cries …"

If Shui Wuyi had seen the scene of Bai coaxing Meng'er earlier, she would have her mouth wide open in shock. She would never have imagined that Bai, who was always so cold, would actually coax a child.

"Really …"

Meng'er tried her best to hold back her tears as she looked innocently at Bai.

Bai nodded seriously. "Really."

In front of a naive child, couldn't he hide his feelings?

Xiao Bai would never have thought that he could not even conceal his feelings. How many years had it been?

Of course he wouldn't think too much about it. Meng'er was simply too sensitive, so he could only carry her and move forward quickly.

The faint aura left behind by the Human Demons seemed to be almost gone.

At this moment, the two of them had arrived at a lively town. This was the first time they had seen so many people and Meng'er could not help but feel curious. After all, she had always lived in seclusion with Bai Yi.

Meng'er seemed very excited, jumping happily around Bai. There were all kinds of decorations on the street, the stalls were filled with goods, and the candied fruits that made her mouth water. Although it was her first time seeing one, but which child could resist the temptation of this delicacy, so she continued to tug at her white clothes, opening her watery eyes and pointing at the candied fruits, as if to say I want to eat them.

How could Bai Yi endure Meng'er's gaze? He glanced over and noticed that the person selling the candied fruits was just an ordinary commoner. The candied fruits on his back were indeed big and red.

Normally, Bai might've agreed to Meng'er's request, but this time, he couldn't because he had no money.

No, no money.

He had brought Meng'er out from the hidden grounds a few days ago. He had been self-sufficient during his secluded days and didn't have any income at all. Naturally, he didn't have any money with him after he came out.

He had lived in seclusion for so long that he had already forgotten the rules of this world.

However, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't do such a thing. It wasn't because of anything else but because Meng'er was there as well, and he didn't want to lead Meng'er astray. Meng'er was only six years old now, but she would grow up in the future.

Therefore, Xiao Bai was very embarrassed. Walking in this world and forgetting to bring money with him. Although money was not omnipotent, it was impossible for one to not have money …

Bai Yi felt even more guilty when he looked at Meng'er's pitiful and clear eyes. He raised her so much, but he hadn't even given her a few good meals. Now, he couldn't even give her a bunch of candied fruits.

"Wow, what a cute little sister!"

Just as Bai was at a loss about what to do, a girl suddenly ran to Meng'er's side. After squatting down, she didn't care about anything and directly hugged Meng'er, saying, "So cute, so cute, let big sister hug you …"

Everyone present was stunned, be it Bai, Meng'er, or the man following behind the woman.

"Hey, hey, Suer, you're hugging someone else's daughter like this …" "That's not good …"

The man smiled awkwardly and kept nodding his head in apology.

If one looked closely, one could see that this man's appearance was also of an extremely outstanding type. Moreover, there seemed to be a somewhat unrestrained expression on his face. The ponytail that was tied up displayed this kind of character.

The woman was also an outstanding beauty. Her every gesture and smile caused the men on the street to stop in their tracks. The man's beauty attracted the screams of the girls on the street.

The man was rather curious, because Bai was even more outstanding than him. But why did the people on the street not react at all? It was as if they were blind.

At this moment, Meng'er felt a little uncomfortable. With her face buried between the two mountain peaks, it was hard for her to breathe.

"Sis, Sis …" "I feel so uncomfortable …"

Meng'er had just finished her sentence when the girl called Suer realized that she had lost her composure. She quickly let go of Meng'er and looked at her little face. She still felt that she was very cute and couldn't help but press her face closer to Meng'er.

"Haha, so cute!"

Meng'er's entire body was covered in a green dress, her long hair falling straight down from her waist, her rosy cheeks were like a small apple, giving off an alluring aura, her watery eyes were as clear as autumn water, her small, clear nose just happened to be pressed onto that exquisite little face, and her cherry lips were filled with allure. She was only six years old right now, who knows what kind of disaster she would become in the future.

"Alright, alright, Suer, you've attracted too many people."

The man spoke once again, seeming to be helpless.

However, Suer glared at him fiercely, "Lin Feng, if you can't have such a cute daughter with me, I'll cut off your lower part!"

The man called Lin Feng was so scared that he quickly covered his crotch, "Aunt, can you not say such words in public? There's even a child, it's not good to teach a child …"

On the other hand, Bai Yi agreed with Lin Feng's words. He had never wanted to let Meng'er have any contact with such matters. He only wanted to preserve the innocence and beauty in her heart.

At this moment, Meng'er's eyes were filled with anticipation as she kept staring at the candied fruits over there. However, she did not speak because she seemed to be able to tell that Xiao Bai was in a difficult position.

Suer was a smart and astute person. She smiled at Meng'er and said, "Do you want to eat candied fruits?"

Meng'er's eyes were bright as she nodded heavily. "Yes!"

"Meng'er …"

Xiao Bai finally spoke. It wasn't because he didn't trust these two, but because he didn't want to owe them favors. If Meng'er wanted to eat it, she couldn't bear to make her not eat it, right?

Suer noticed Bai's distress and said, "Don't worry. I only treat her to food because I like Meng'er very much. I hope that you don't misunderstand this father."

Suer could tell that this father and daughter pair were both ordinary people. Perhaps it was because they were poor that they couldn't even afford a stick of candied fruits.

Actually, Xiao Bai really wanted to say that he wasn't Meng'er's father. It was just that they didn't even give him the time to explain before bringing Meng'er to the side of the candied fruits.

Lin Feng apologized again, "Sorry, Suer is like that. I hope you don't mind. "

In contrast, Lin Feng was quite easy-going and also very polite.
