Extraordinary Demon King Soldier
Chapter 1416 - 1413: Now We Know Each OtherThese burly men felt very frustrated.
They were just too unlucky. All they came to do was to retrieve the stolen wallet of their boss and teach this thief a lesson.
Regarding Ye Qiu, they really only intended to scare him off so he'd get out of the way and not cause trouble.
But who knew, Ye Qiu was like a solid block of iron, and in trying to scare him, they ended up causing a scene.
They were tough guys, usually very good at fighting, the kind who could take on two people at once without a problem. Yet, just now, they didn't even have time to react before they were all knocked down at once.
Now, the intense pain coming from their abdomens made it impossible for them to even crawl.
"Just you wait!!!"
After a long while, those burly men finally recovered from the pain and got up with much difficulty. Their pale faces turned angrily towards Ye Qiu as they ground their teeth, and after throwing out a harsh line, they sulkily helped each other away.
Of course, Ye Qiu didn't give much thought to their threats. He calmly watched them leave before preparing to move on himself.
However, beside him, having watched those burly men being casually taken down and chased off by Ye Qiu, the little girl's eyes widened, shining brightly as an excited expression danced across her pretty face.
"Hey, mister, don't leave me here alone."
Seeing Ye Qiu about to leave, the little girl quickly grabbed his hand, holding on pitifully.
"We don't know each other, do we?"
Seeing the little girl holding onto him, Ye Qiu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and start to scrutinize her.
"We didn't know each other before, but now we do."
The little girl blinked at Ye Qiu and then said with a mischievous smile, "My name is Lu Shiqing, what's yours, mister?"
Seeing her act so friendly, Ye Qiu shook his head and was about to turn away, not intending to engage too much with her.
Or perhaps he had an instinct that if he got involved with her, he'd end up tangled in some troublesome affairs.
He wasn't close to Lu Shiqing. He had dealt with those hooligans for her, acting as a shield for the little girl, and he was already being quite generous by not holding it against her.
If he got too involved, more trouble would surely come knocking.
For Ye Qiu, although he wasn't afraid of trouble, now that he finally had a chance to rest, he wanted to enjoy some peace and quiet.
Moreover, the key point was, although Ye Qiu didn't mind being used by the little girl earlier since it was just a small effort and the opponents were only some thugs, giving them a lesson was only right.
However, Ye Qiu did mind slightly that he had been used by her.
"Hey, mister, you still haven't told me your name."
Even though Ye Qiu didn't want to engage with her and turned around to leave, the little girl quickly chased after him.
As she spoke, she grabbed his sleeve, blinking her big eyes, looking like she wouldn't let go.
"What do you want from me?"
Ye Qiu was speechless, looking at the girl, he couldn't help but ask.
If she had any sinister intentions towards him, Ye Qiu could just deal with her directly. But the problem was, she was just an ordinary person without Inner Strength, and her purpose was unknown.
Situations like this were the most troubling.
"It's nothing. Mister, you helped me just now, didn't you? I just wanted to thank you."
Innocently, the little girl looked at Ye Qiu with her watery eyes, "Can't I even do that, mister? Will you be heartless and reject me?"
"No need to thank me."
Ye Qiu smirked and quickly shook her off, striding away.
This time, Ye Qiu used a bit of his Body Technique to speed up, leaving the little girl with no chance to react or chase him. His figure quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
"Seriously, I'm not going to eat you, what are you running for?"
Watching Ye Qiu's figure vanish, the little girl stomped her foot in shame and frustration, clearly unhappy about being ditched by him.
However, her mood quickly shifted. She pulled a crocodile leather wallet from her pocket, opened it, and saw the wad of cash inside. Smiling gleefully, she felt her mood lift: "Well, at least I made some money today. I should be able to eat something nice later."
Suddenly, as if remembering something, her action of holding the wallet paused. Staring at the bulging wallet, she bit her lip, a deeply conflicted expression crossing her face.
But in the end, she made up her mind, clenched the wallet, put it back into her pocket, and reluctantly left the bustling pedestrian street.
As she left the street, she couldn't help but glance nostalgically at the food stores on the street corner.
...
Leaving the street, the little girl weaved through several busy streets and alleys before entering an ancient alley, heading into a dark little street.
As soon as she stepped into the street, she heard familiar quarrels and shouting from the damp, old building at the end of the street.
Instantly, her expression became mixed.
She pressed her lips together, hesitating for a long while before heading into the damp, old building at the end of the street.
Getting closer, the cursing and the cries of a woman inside became clearer and noisier.
"I'm back."
Opening the rusty, creaky door, the little girl looked at the dim stairwell and quietly murmured in a barely audible voice.
