The Little Beggar's Stubbornness

After obtaining relevant information from the City Lord's Manor, as well as the recent whereabouts of the demon Blood Shadow Demon Slayer, the two left only after the city lord's attentive invitation and they had a meal together.

The former city lord wanted to send some people to accompany Hua Qiang and Huo Qingtong, but the two refused.

That Blood Shadow Demon Slayer is already at the Saint Realm Fifth Tier, possibly even the sixth level. What good would it do to send some second or third level people to follow him, except to make them cannon fodder?

Previously, the powerful figures from several cities had joined forces to ambush the Blood Shadow Demon Slayer, but he escaped and even killed many of them. Even the city lord Fei Nanxing, was injured.

There's no point in letting some lackeys get involved.

The two of them should have more freedom of movement. If there are people following them, they would have to take care of them, which would affect their efficiency in killing the villain!

Hua Qiang and Huo Qingtong walked down the same street again. As they turned a corner, he subconsciously looked in a certain direction and his brows furrowed.

In that corner, the little beggar was still curled up, his breath even weaker, and he had injuries on his body.

This happened recently. Hua Qiang's perception was extremely sharp. How could he not see the new wounds on the little beggar's body?

Hua Qiang sighed softly, then walked towards the little beggar.

Seeing this, Huo Qingtong followed behind. Women should never be nosy about what men are doing outside, or they will be disliked by men.

When Little Jiu'er saw Hua Qiang walking towards her, she instinctively shrank back a little, but unfortunately she was already close to the wall and had no way to retreat.

She could only lower her head, like an ostrich, and hide herself as much as possible.

Hua Qiang knelt down in front of her and Wen Dao softly, "Why are you still here? Why don't you go buy something to eat?"

Little Jiu'er was about to say that her money had been stolen, but she was afraid that Hua Qiang would mock her for being completely innocent and unable to even protect her own money.

With her head down and cheeks puffed out, she said weakly, "I've already eaten!"

"Hehe, "Hua Qiang chuckled twice and Wen Dao, "What did you eat?"

"I ate... I ate... a huge meat bun, I could eat it all!"

Little Jiu'er spoke weakly, her strong will making people both laugh and feel sorry for her.

"Hehe, you're still so weak after eating. I think you're about to give up."

"No, I really ate it!"

"Then why are you still here?"

"I'm sunbathing here!" Little Jiu'er insisted stubbornly.

Hehehe!

Hua Qiang was amused by her attitude.

"You didn't lose the money, did you?"

"None of your business!" Little Jiu'er said sullenly.

"Could it be... that it was robbed?"

Little Jiu'er raised her head and said angrily, "No, that's not true! I spent all my money!"

"Oh, how did you spend it? What did you buy?"

"I bought a whole table full of food!"

"Does that include... a big meat bun?"

"Of course!"

"Oh, what else?"

"And... and... anyway, there's so much more, oh dear, I can't remember it all right now, it's all delicacies!"

"Hehe."

Hua Qiang chuckled twice again and said, "Then tell me, what delicacies are there? Perhaps there are some I've never heard of or never eaten before."

Little Jiu'er's face stiffened.

"This... I... I won't tell you. What if you get upset and say I'm wasting money, or even hit me?"

"Hey, Little Jiu'er, if I hit you, won't you fight back?"

Little Jiu'er shook her head and said seriously, "Master doesn't allow me to fight back. Master said that if I make a move, I will kill someone."

"Unless they are utterly wicked!"

"You're a good person, I can't hit you, what if I kill you?"

As she spoke, Little Jiu'er stretched out her little hand, made a fist, and shook it.

It felt like that fist could shatter a mountain with a single punch.

Ha ha ha ha!

Hua Qiang couldn't help but laugh again.

"Don't laugh, it's true, I'm really amazing!"

My master is afraid I'll kill people indiscriminately, so he strictly forbids me from doing so.

"Otherwise, how could those beggars have stolen my silver?"

Little Jiu'er quickly covered her mouth with her hand, then lowered her head, not daring to look at Hua Qiang. She had just accidentally blurted out the truth.

"Who stole your money? Tell me, and I'll avenge you!"

Little Jiu'er lowered her head and remained silent.

Hua Qiang looked up at the beggars beside him. The beggars all had their heads down, afraid that Hua Qiang would ask them questions. They dared not betray the beggar leaders, otherwise they would be beaten to death when they were dealt with later.

His gaze swept across the area and he saw several strong beggars at the entrance of the alley behind him, staring at him with hostile expressions.

Hua Qiang's expression was not good. He went to the steamed bun shop next door, bought a few large meat buns, and brought them back to Little Jiu'er.

"Eat something first, then we can settle things later!"

When Little Jiu'er saw Hua Qiang hand her a steamed bun, she immediately snatched it without hesitation and began to eat it voraciously.

Hua Qiang was worried she would choke to death.

Sure enough, Little Jiu'er choked after only a couple of bites. Hua Qiang quickly patted her back gently to help her catch her breath.

Little Jiu'er swallowed the bun and then said weakly, "Thank you Eldest Brother!"

"No, let's eat first." After Little Jiu'er finished eating a few buns, she felt much better. Then he helped her stand up and walked towards the beggars at the entrance of the alley behind.

Niu Si Siyi stared at Hua Qiang and the little beggar with a hostile expression, waiting for Hua Qiang to give the little beggar more money so he could snatch it and have a good meal.

Unexpectedly, the other party bought several large meat buns for the little beggar to eat, making him so hungry that he almost drooled.

The man was still leading the little beggar toward him.

Damn it, does he want to stand up for that little beggar?

Are you looking for death?

He immediately waved his hand, and more than a dozen beggars behind him stood up in a row, holding sticks in their hands, looking at Hua Qiang and his group menacingly.

Hua Qiang curled his lip and slapped him across the face.

Then Niu Si and the others felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them, and they all collapsed to the ground with a thud, with countless bones in their bodies broken.

He realized he had bitten off more than he could chew. Just as Hua Qiang was pulling Little Jiu'er toward him, he struggled to his feet, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Sir, I don't know where I offended you. Please enlighten me, and I will correct myself!"

"Heh, you're not qualified to offend me. Did you steal this little beggar's money?"

"Sir, spare me! I really didn't expect this little thing to be one of your people. If I had known, I would never have dared to take her or beat her!"

"Huh? You guys inflicted these injuries on her?"

"Well..."

"Speak!" Hua Qiang's voice suddenly became a few degrees hoarse.

"Yes, sir, sir, we were wrong. We were blinded by greed and fools. We shouldn't have offended and hit your people. Please, sir, spare my life and just let me go like a fart."

Hua Qiang ignored the beggars and then looked at Little Jiu'er, saying, "Hit him! Hit them back the way they hit you!"
