Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

The little female beggar’s recent frenzied outburst, during which she made no attempt to hide her appearance, had caused numerous residents to protest.

The Court’s street patrol officers came over to drive her away.

They were all in uniform, holding long poles. They even had their mouths and noses wrapped in black cloth.

They used their long poles to cage the little female beggar.

They then prodded her along the ground from a distance.

They were trying to drive the little girl away.

As for why their mouths and noses were covered, it was naturally out of fear that she carried some disease.

"I’ll go, I’ll go! I haven’t hurt anyone!"

"I’m not a monster!"

"Sirs, I’m not a monster!"

"I’m just hungry! I’m only here to beg!"

The little female beggar cried as she spoke.

But she was still mercilessly driven away.

Many residents in the surrounding crowd were jeering and cheering them on.

They urged the officers to hurry up and get rid of the monster.

"Stop."

At that moment, Xu Lei had already left the restaurant. He walked over and said, "Let her go!"

As he spoke, Xu Lei walked to the little female beggar’s side, holding an umbrella.

The officers naturally retracted their long poles.

If someone was willing to take responsibility, they couldn’t be happier to save themselves the trouble.

Xu Lei held the umbrella over the little female beggar’s head.

The small umbrella shielded her head, stopping the falling rain from hitting her.

She looked up, listening to the sound of raindrops continuing to fall and splash all around her.

She stared blankly at the somewhat old, wrinkled hand holding the umbrella.

And at the white-robed old man whose own clothes and hair were now half-soaked because he was shielding her with the umbrella.

She immediately recognized him. This was the same white-robed old man, the one whose clothes were so clean it was frightening, who had given her a roasted chicken a few days ago.

Then, she quickly came to her senses.

’My face must look terrifying when I look up.’

She quickly raised a hand to cover her face, leaving only her one good eye exposed.

She wanted to reach out and push the umbrella away.

She wanted to tell the white-robed old man that he should just shield himself.

Because she felt she didn’t deserve it.

No one had ever been kind to her.

So now, even a simple act like holding an umbrella over her filled her with terror.

But she couldn’t stand up. She was too small, and her arms were too short to reach the white-robed old man’s hand on the umbrella.

She could only lower her head.

Trying her best not to let her face frighten him.

She wanted to say thank you, but her throat was choked with emotion, and she couldn’t get the words out.

But before she could lower her head...

"Don’t worry.

I’m here now.

You don’t have to be afraid of them."

Just then, she heard the white-robed old man, still holding the umbrella, look at her and say:

"Come with me.

What do you say?"

In disbelief, thinking she must have misheard, she couldn’t help but look up at the white-robed old man again.

"Trust me, you are not a monster."

The white-robed old man continued, "You were once a pearl, now merely fallen into the Mortal World.

Others can’t save you, but I can.

Follow me.

You will have a completely different destiny, a life utterly unlike the one you have now.

In the future, these people around you will be nothing but ants in your eyes.

You will be more noble, wealthier, and more powerful than all of them.

Forget them. Even the royal Nobility of the Mortal World, even the supreme sovereign, the so-called Emperor...

...will mean nothing to you.

And all those who abandoned you will regret it.

You will become a celestial Fairy, looked up to by all, but forever out of reach!

So?

Are you willing to come with me?

Are you willing to live such a life?

Are you willing?

If you are, then give me your answer."

The little female beggar’s head was spinning.

But the moment the white-robed old man finished speaking, she was already nodding furiously.

Forget everything else. Just hearing him say, "you are not a monster," was enough to make her burst into tears.

He was the first person to ever say that to her.

Besides, she had nothing left to lose.

She had actually tried to speak.

But her throat was tight with emotion, and for some reason, she couldn’t make a sound.

She could only nod with all her might.

"You nodded."

The white-robed old man smiled. "That means you agree.

I’ll take you with me.

Here, hold the umbrella."

With that,

the white-robed old man bent down slightly and pressed the umbrella’s handle into her small, filthy, skinny hand.

While she was still in a daze, the white-robed old man crouched down again and, to her surprise, lifted her mud-caked body right into his arms.

Seeing her own filthy clothes staining the old man’s immaculately clean white robes,

she couldn’t help but struggle.

"Don’t move."

But the white-robed old man said, "The umbrella is crooked."

Then, carrying her in a princess carry, he walked straight ahead, striding down the stone-paved street in the pouring rain.

All she could do was grip the handle tightly and try her best to keep the umbrella steady.

So that a little less rain would fall on the white-robed old man.

Meanwhile, the Court’s street patrol officers who had come to drive her away just stared dumbly at the two of them.

The white-robed old man had his back to them and couldn’t see.

But she could see the looks and expressions on the faces of the people behind them.

As they walked, more people along the street pointed and stared.

But the white-robed old man paid no mind to their gossip.

He just held her and walked steadily away, his steps firm.

The warmth from the white-robed old man’s chest seeped into her small, chilled body, warming her against the cold rain.

’So this is what it feels like to be held,’ she thought, and the tears began to flow uncontrollably.

「Two hours later.」

Xu Lei was now in a room at an inn.

He had already taken off his dirtied, damp white robes and changed into a fresh, clean set.
