Bestowing the Name Miao Ke'er

Because the rich young master was the son of You Yuanwai, the wealthiest man in this town, no one dared offend him. They could only silently close their eyes!

Unable to bear watching the girl be humiliated!

Of course, there were also some who enjoyed watching trouble unfold. They rubbed their eyes clean, ready to witness this "live spring scene"!

At this sight, Gu Xun'er and Ling Qingzhu, also girls themselves, could no longer endure it!

They were filled with fury toward that rich young master!

Yet before they could speak, Zi Yu had already made his move!

"All of you, stop right there!"

Hearing Zi Yu's words, the rich young master's expression stiffened!

"Who was that? What fool dared ruin this young master's good time?"

He then followed the source of the voice and saw Zi Yu and the other two.

When he saw that three little brats actually dared meddle in his business, rage immediately surged within him!

Just as he was about to fly into a tantrum, he noticed the two girls beside Zi Yu.

At once, he was drawn in by their extraordinary looks and bearing!

Having frequented pleasure houses for years, he could naturally tell that although these two girls were still very young, they had the makings of great beauties.

In another seven or eight years, once they had grown up, they would surely become peerless beauties!

And waiting seven or eight years was nothing he could not afford.

Thus, the rich young master put on a magnanimous front and said.

"Brat! Originally, offending this young master was an unforgivable crime, but I am broad-minded! As long as you hand the two little girls beside you over to me, I will spare your life. How about it?"

At his words, Zi Yu's face was full of smiles!

"Oh? Is that so? Then how about I give you a gift first?"

Hearing the word "gift," the rich young master burst into laughter!

"Hahaha! You brat sure know the rules. You're sensible! Where's the gift? Hand it over!"

"Oh? Then you'd better catch it!"

With that, Zi Yu tossed out some pink powder.

The rich young master and several of his servants all inhaled the powder.

After breathing it in, their expressions all became dazed!

Pinkish bloodshot veins appeared in their eyes!

With lewd expressions, they said, "Ah! Beauties! I want beauties! Hahaha!" ×N!

Just then, an old sow ran out from somewhere and was spotted by the group.

Seeing the old sow, they shouted, "Beauties! My beauties! Don't go! Chase them...!"

As soon as their words fell, they chased after the old sow.

Seeing their actions, the surrounding spectators looked at one another in bewilderment!

They all hurried after them as well!

Taking advantage of this, Zi Yu left with Ling Qingzhu and Gu Xun'er, bringing along the girl's mother's body.

Several hours later!

Outside Maple Forest Town, in an exceptionally quiet place.

They buried the girl's mother there.

After everything had been taken care of, the girl suddenly dropped to her knees.

"Thank you for your help, benefactor. I am willing to serve as your slave and maid for the rest of my life, remaining by your side forever and never leaving you!"

After saying that, she bowed deeply to Zi Yu!

Zi Yu quickly helped her up. "Miss, please get up! I have no need for you to become my slave or maid. It was merely a small effort, so there is no need for this."

"By the way, now that your mother has been buried, do you have any relatives you can turn to? This Young Master can give you a ride?"

After hearing him, the girl shook her head. "Benefactor, now that Mother is dead, I have no other family in this world. I beg you to take me in as your slave."

"As long as I can remain by your side, I am willing to do anything."

After saying that, her face was filled with pleading!

At the same time, a trace of fear flashed through her eyes. She was afraid that Zi Yu would reject her!

Zi Yu's mouth twitched slightly!

Why did those words feel so familiar? They sounded like the humble declaration of love a simp made to his Beloved in the romance novels from Earth in his previous life.

But no matter what, he had to take this girl in.

And with his wealth, let alone supporting one more person, he could afford to support a hundred more, even a thousand more!

Thus, Zi Yu said softly, "All right, miss. I will not take you as a slave, but I will allow you to follow us from now on, and we can travel together as companions!"

Upon hearing the first half of Zi Yu's words, the girl nearly fainted. But after hearing the second half, she was overjoyed.

"Thank you, benefactor!"

"Thank you, Young Master!"

The girl hurriedly thanked him.

She looked as though she feared Zi Yu would change his mind the next second.

Then Zi Yu asked, "Miss, since you have chosen to follow us, could you tell me your name?"

Hearing this, the girl gently shook her head again. "I'm sorry, Young Master. I am only ten years old and do not have a name yet! When Mother was alive, she only called me Er Ya!"

"What?... Er... Er Ya?..."

Zi Yu was speechless!

But he quickly realized that in ancient times, girls from ordinary families did not receive their own names until they came of age at fifteen!

The girl before him was only ten, so it was perfectly normal that she had no name.

With this in mind, Zi Yu said softly, "In that case, how about I give you a name?"

Hearing that her benefactor wanted to name her, the girl's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly replied.

"This servant begs Young Master to bestow a name upon me!"

Then Zi Yu murmured softly.

"Our meeting is fate, and fate is a truly wonderful thing!"

"And since you are so delicate and lovely, how about Miao Ke'er? What do you think, miss?"

"Miao Ke'er!... I have a name!..."

The girl repeated it several times, then said happily, "Thank you for bestowing a name upon me, Young Master! From now on, this servant will be called Miao Ke'er!"

At that moment, Zi Yu's appearance was deeply engraved in the girl's heart.

As she looked at Zi Yu, an indescribable affection shimmered deeply in her eyes.

"The grace of saving my life!" "The grace of burying my mother!" "A name!"

These were enough to make Miao Ke'er utterly devoted to Zi Yu for the rest of her life, never leaving him!

Of course, Zi Yu did not yet know what was in Miao Ke'er's heart.

At that moment, the system's voice rang out in Zi Yu's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for achieving the accomplishment of helping others and saving a life, which is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You are now rewarded with ten Pure Heart Bodhi Beads, ten High-grade Storage Rings, and five thousand merit points!"

"The Pure Heart Bodhi Beads are supreme auxiliary cultivation treasures refined from Bodhi Seeds, Ten Thousand Year Heart-Cleansing Jade, and Ten Thousand Year Spirit Gathering Jade, using the essence of the sun and moon through Tianhuo.
