He slowly turned around and walked up to the little beggar.
He squatted down and said, "You did very well. From now on, if anyone dares to bully you, just kill them. Understand?"
The little beggar nodded as if she understood.
"What's your name?"
The little beggar blinked her big eyes and shook her head.
"No name?"
Nod.
"Are you willing to come with me?"
The little beggar paused, then nodded.
Li Xinge grinned and extended his hand.
Looking at the fair hand, then at her own, the little beggar hesitated.
Her hands were dirty, and she was afraid of soiling his clean hands.
However, to her surprise, Li Xinge took her hand and pulled her up from the ground.
"Little girl, you think quite a lot," Li Xinge muttered softly.
The two walked one after the other, one tall and one small.
"How about taking my surname from now on?"
The little girl nodded.
"As for a name?"
Li Xinge pinched his chin, a mischievous thought suddenly arising in his heart.
"How about Li Mochou!"
Seeing the slyness in Li Xinge's eyes, the little girl shook her head.
Li Xinge chuckled, "Little brat, you're quite smart. In that case, how about Li Wuyou? I hope you'll be without worries and sorrows your entire life."
The little girl's eyes lit up, and she revealed a smile that Li Xinge found quite ugly.
"It seems you really like this name. From now on, you'll be called Li Wuyou."
"As for you, you can call me... Uncle!" Li Xinge said with a smile.
"Unc... Uncle." Li Wuyou slowly enunciated the two words with a slightly hoarse voice.
"Right! It seems you're not a little mute after all," Li Xinge said playfully.
Li Wuyou followed behind Li Xinge, her head lowered, a spark of brilliance flashing in her eyes.
"Uncle."
[Name: Li Wuyou] [Age: 8 years old] [Cultivation: None] [Talent: ???] [Special Physique: Heavenly Demon Sacred Body (Unactivated)]
It was getting late, and with a hungry and cold little girl by his side, Li Xinge decided not to travel further.
The two arrived outside a rather large inn in town and entered.
The innkeeper was a middle-aged man with a big belly, who greeted them with a smile.
Having traveled far and wide for decades, the experienced innkeeper immediately noticed that although the young man's clothes weren't extravagant, the material was the finest silk. Moreover, the jade belt at his waist was priceless. He must be the young master of some prominent family. Therefore, his tone was very respectful.
"Esteemed guest, are you here for lodging or food?"
Li Xinge smiled slightly, took out a gold ingot from his sleeve, and handed it to the innkeeper.
"Prepare a superior room and a table of your signature dishes."
Then he pointed to Li Wuyou, who was tugging at his clothes with a timid expression.
"And find an old woman to prepare a set of clean clothes and give this little one a good wash."
The shopkeeper carefully took the gold ingot, feeling its heavy weight in his hand.
His tone became even more respectful, "Don't worry, distinguished guest. I will handle this beautifully for you."
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
Before long, the shopkeeper found a middle-aged woman from somewhere.
"Miss, please come with me. I'll take you to bathe," the middle-aged woman said with a bow.
However, Li Wuyou was a little scared and quickly hid behind Li Xinge.
Seeing this, Li Xinge was somewhat helpless.
He turned around and said to Little Wuyou sternly, "If you're not obedient, Uncle won't take care of you anymore."
The impact of these words was undoubtedly huge.
Little Wuyou's eyes welled up with tears, and she could only let the middle-aged woman take her away, looking back at Li Xinge pitifully every step of the way.
"Young master, the private room is ready. Please follow me."
Led by the shopkeeper, Li Xinge arrived at a window seat on the second floor.
"I'll ask the kitchen to prepare the food first. Please wait, young master."
Li Xinge nodded.
At this time, it was the dinner rush, and the inn was full. Judging by the clothing of the patrons, these were all people of considerable status in the local area. Commoners couldn't afford fine silks and satins.
Li Xinge poured himself a cup of wine, his thoughts returning to half an hour ago, when Little Wuyou was being bullied by some young rascals...
He had originally intended to walk away. After all, he wasn't some great philanthropist who intervened in every injustice.
There were too many injustices in this world for him to manage.
However, a casual glance shocked Li Xinge.
The little beggar being bullied by the young rascals possessed such powerful Destiny that his soul trembled.
His family's Destiny was still white.
But the Destiny above the little beggar's head was purple-red. How terrifying was that?
Li Xinge guessed in his heart that this might be the legendary Favorite of Heaven, the Child of Destiny.
As for himself, he didn't count. He was just an ordinary cheat.
After guessing that the little beggar might be the legendary Child of Destiny, Li Xinge changed his mind and stepped in to save him.
If he could gain the friendship of a Child of Destiny, the rewards would be unimaginable.
As expected, after saving Li Wuyou.
His Li Family's white Destiny was already showing signs of turning green.
The Child of Destiny, truly terrifying!
Li Xinge couldn't help but exclaim.
Half an hour later, the middle-aged woman brought the cleaned-up Little Wuyou to Li Xinge.
After washing away her disheveled appearance, Little Wuyou had a slender figure, with long, black hair cascading down her shoulders.
She was wearing a green ruqun. Although her young face was a bit sallow and thin, judging by her facial features, she would be a beautiful little girl if properly cared for.
"Wuyou, you must be hungry. Let's eat."
Li Xinge said with a smile.
The steaming, delicious-looking dishes were already served.
Little Wuyou's eyes were fixed on the dazzling array of delicacies on the table, and she couldn't help but swallow.
This was something she could never have imagined before.
"What are you staring at? Eat!"
Li Xinge urged.
He then picked up a chicken leg and placed it in Little Wuyou's bowl.
Looking at the chicken leg in her bowl, Little Wuyou's mouth watered.
She reached out and grabbed directly for the chicken leg in the bowl.
"Slap!"
Little Wuyou withdrew her hand in pain, looking at Li Xinge, who had put down his chopsticks, with a wronged expression.
"You eat with chopsticks, not by hand. I'll only teach you this once."
Li Xinge said calmly, then used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and demonstrate.
The latter imitated him, but her clumsy movements were very endearing.
"Quick, all of you, hurry up! Surround the inn!"
Outside the inn, a noisy commotion could be heard.
Dozens of burly men in tight robes surrounded the entire inn tightly.
Li Xinge raised an eyebrow.
Troublemakers had arrived.
