Chapter 72 Dream
"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, look at that girl, how pitiful. She is being sold to the brothel by her own big sisters... her eyes look so dead... Let's buy her?"
"I don't care. If you want a helper, just buy her." He replied, feeling his heartache at the girl's expression as she was being examined by a bunch of brutes with lustful gazes.
"It might get rowdy though... she is really beautiful."
...
"Look at you girl, why are you so dead-eyed?" Han Li asked with a face filled with irritation.
"He is right, Ruo, you should try to be a bit more lively. We are not like those people, nobody wants to hurt you here. And even though this kid looks mean with his red eyes, he is my son. He is actually kinder than me." Yue Li said as she petted the girl's white hair.
She looked at them with a blank gaze. She was like a child even though she was already an adult. But a child who had been deeply scarred.
Han Li had to say her brown eyes captivated him slightly. He rubbed his nose at the thought. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
"What does Ruo have to do?" she asked like a machine.
"You don't have to do anything. We're his sidekicks, so of course, it is his job to carry us." Yue Li's chest puffed up at the words. "I might look like a useless person, but believe me, I am the one who plans out all of Xiao Li's actions. I am the smartest of us both."
Han Li rolled his eyes at them.
...
It was an icy hot winter outside and Han Li was covered with a blanket. Snuggling on both his sides were his two precious women. "Ruo, how does it feel to be in Big Brother's embrace?"
"Ruo feels calm in Big Brother's embrace. Ruo likes big brother," she said sleepily as she snuggled deeper into his embrace. He didn't care much about the weather but for these two, the coldness was too much.
"I heard a river was blasted apart by a super powerful cultivator and that made the temperature cool so sharply," Han Li said in a daze, "Mom, when do you think I will be able to do it?"
"He will Mom." "I am such a burden for him, right, Ruo?" Yue Li asked, her voice a bit melancholic.
Ruo flew for a while in silence. "Big Brother Han was right. Old people do get grumpy."
"Tha...that bastard, he said that?"
Han Li smiled as he returned his protective Soul Sense back.
...
The beastly roar of a bear rang out in his ears as he opened his eyes groggily in utter pain. He couldn't move or shift, he was bound by the bear's huge paws as it feasted on his hands.
"No... No..." he groaned in pain but soon, his voice died down. The bear had taken a bite out of his jaws.
He stared at it with a hopeless expression. But the bear just snarled and kept biting his hands. The bones were chewed in and flesh was ripped apart.
His organs were spilling out from his guts.
'Mom... Ruo...'
As the last vestiges of life were about to leave him, a strong pair of hands surrounded the beast's neck and tightened. The beast tried to whimper and resist, but before it could, it was dead.
"There is a living boy here. His energy seems like an Ethereal Dao Cultivator of Life, but his body is almost as strong as a Transformation type Evolved's. How do you think he did it, Grandpa?"
"Wang Ren, that's what you call luck."
"Heh, let his Luck heal him then. But he was indeed the best bait, we didn't have to lose our suicide soldier because of him."
"This bear is the last Power Born level Beast of our region. The rest will be handled by the others. Come, let's head out!"
