Extraordinary Demon King Soldier

For Ye Qiu, rescuing someone was just a small effort, something he didn't dwell on after it was done.

Moreover, as he was still preoccupied with finding someone, Ye Qiu planned to leave after accepting the girl's thanks and having dinner.

After all, time was pressing, there were many places on the list he hadn't been to, and many people whose identities had not been confirmed, so Ye Qiu was in a hurry.

Just as Ye Qiu was thinking this, he was already brought to the girl's home.

It was a very old building; the gray-yellow walls were covered in various graffiti that had become quite blurred, the stairway was worn, the railing rusty, and a faint smell of dead rats lingered in the air.

Although this area was a remote part of West Mansion City, seeing such buildings in a big city like West Mansion still surprised Ye Qiu a bit.

However, the girl, Zhou Jing, lived in such a place, and even rented it, which once again made Ye Qiu understand her family's situation.

Their family's financial condition was clearly not just bad—it was terrible!

And under such poor conditions, Zhou Jing's father had also racked up a huge debt and disappeared. One can imagine how much this blow affected their family.

Not to mention, on top of that, Zhou Jing's mother was bedridden, and now all the family's burdens and pressures fell on Zhou Jing's shoulders. The amount of pressure the girl faced was enormous.

Thinking about this, Ye Qiu looked back at the girl, feeling some sympathy, and admiration as well.

Because, despite bearing such great pressure, the girl did not endlessly complain to him, nor did she show any hint of inferiority on her face. Instead, she quietly helped share the family's burdens and went out to sell things to earn money for her family.

Such a girl is a rare sight these days.

Just as Ye Qiu was thinking this, the girl opened the door to her home and then said to Ye Qiu somewhat shyly and apologetically, "This is my home, it's a bit cramped, I hope you don't mind."

"It's okay."

Ye Qiu smiled at the girl and then walked into her home.

"Cough cough... Jingjing, you're back?"

As Ye Qiu and the girl entered, a woman dressed in thick clothes with a sallow complexion and coughing walked out, seemingly having heard the commotion from outside.

Then, the woman saw the girl and Ye Qiu beside her and was slightly stunned, immediately frowning and shouting at Ye Qiu excitedly, "Get out! We have no money for you! If you want money, go find that man named Zhou, it's his debt, nothing to do with us mother and daughter!!"

Hearing the woman's words, Ye Qiu immediately understood that he was mistaken for a debt collector, and couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Mom, you got it wrong, he's not here to collect debt from us."

At this time, the girl, Zhou Jing, quickly explained to the woman, glancing at Ye Qiu nervously, afraid that Ye Qiu might feel offended.

After all, she invited Ye Qiu to her home to thank him, but right after he arrived, her mother berated him, which made the girl feel a bit embarrassed.

Fortunately, the girl noticed that Ye Qiu didn't show any sign of displeasure on his face, which made her slightly relieved.

Then, looking at her mother, the girl explained, "Earlier when I was setting up a stall at Temple Street, those Black Tiger Association thugs came to cause trouble and overturned my stall. He helped chase those thugs away."

"If it wasn't for him, I don't know what would have happened."

Saying this, the girl felt a bit aggrieved, and then continued, "So to thank him, I invited him to our home for dinner."

"Sorry, I thought you were..."

Upon hearing the girl's words, the girl's mother realized her mistake and quickly looked at Ye Qiu, saying nervously and flusteredly, "I'm sorry, thank you for saving our Jingjing, please take a seat anywhere."

"It's okay, if it were me, I would react the same way."

Ye Qiu smiled and comforted the girl's mother.

Seeing that Ye Qiu wasn't angry, but instead comforting her mother, the girl looked at Ye Qiu with a grateful glance.

"I'll go prepare dinner. Mom, you can go rest in your room, I'll call you when the food is ready."

Then, the girl told her mother.

"Cough cough, the person saved you, you must thank him properly."

Upon hearing this, the girl's mother, while coughing weakly, instructed her daughter, "Even though we're poor, the proper courtesy must be extended."

"Sorry, our Jingjing isn't very good with words, if there's anything inadequate about our hospitality, please don't mind."

Then, the girl's mother apologetically said to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu smiled, indicating he didn't mind, then the girl's mother went back to her room to rest.

...

The girl, to thank him, invited him for a meal, and indeed only served a simple homemade meal.

Although at the table, the only meat was a single fish, considering the financial condition of the girl's family, it was clear that she had done her best.

Because he helped her, the girl was genuinely grateful, which made Ye Qiu somewhat emotional.

Such a good-natured girl, yet stuck with such family conditions and an irresponsible father, perhaps it can only be said that fate can be cruel?

Of course, despite his thoughts, Ye Qiu and the girl were just passing acquaintances, and he had only saved her once, and couldn't help her much, nor would it be possible to help her much.

However, after some thought, when he accepted the girl's goodwill, finished dinner, and was about to leave, Ye Qiu left his phone number with the girl.

"Though there's probably not much I can help with, if you run into a situation like today, feel free to call me. As long as I can help, I will do my best."

Then, Ye Qiu told the girl, making a promise.

"Thank you."

The girl hesitated for a moment, then noted down Ye Qiu's phone number and earnestly thanked Ye Qiu.

"Well, I have things to do, so I'll be going now."

Ye Qiu waved casually, then said farewell to the girl and her mother and left.
