"Damn it, Zhang Qing isn't home again. He hasn't even paid his water bill. Don't tell me he's skipped town?"
Holding a water bill in his mechanical hand, Lü Xiao Dao walked through the dim hallway.
"I'd better check, or I'll have to cover it myself. It's so late, he should be back by now. Damn it, if he's run off, I'll shove his head up his ass and teach him..."
Suddenly, he stopped.
He saw a mother and daughter coming down the stairs above him.
"Hello, Brother Blade. There's something I'd like to ask you about, if you have a moment." A trace of exhaustion showed on Chen Yu's lovely face. Clearly, life hadn't been easy for her and her daughter since they came to the Land of Exiles.
"What is it?" Lü Xiao Dao hesitated and glanced at Zhong Little Hua. When she gave a haughty little snort, he couldn't help blushing.
"It's just some difficulties at home. I don't know who else to turn to. Little Hua said you know a lot of people, so..."
Chen Yu felt rather embarrassed. He was so much younger than she was, but she had no one else to ask for help.
Lü Xiao Dao was quite fond of the mother and daughter. Chen Yu had a cheap mechanical arm, just like his, while Little Hua...
For some reason, he felt a little nervous around this young girl.
He looked down the empty hallway. I'll collect the water payment tomorrow. That guy can't dodge his bill here in the Land of Exiles anyway.
He still had to visit the Apocalypse Church again that afternoon and ask the priest to exorcise him.
"In that case, come on over. I have a little sister at home who should get along with Little Hua.
