”Right, where's your bird?” Gayaro asked Ling Xiao as Ling Xiao planned to leave.

Ling Xiao stopped walking. He remembered that he forgot something.

Fur!

When he went to the mine to check, he left it in Allens's care. As a result, he left it behind when there were too many things to do.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao hurriedly changed his direction. Luckily, Allens was still holed up in that narrow room in the trade market and didn't leave.

Allens was confused by the sudden appearance of his client one night and the disappearance of a furry eagle cub that was thrown at him.

But he still dutifully nurtured the furry hair.

Allens, who was worried that he wouldn't be able to raise his cub properly, soon relaxed because this cub was too easy to feed. When he woke up, he had to eat. When he was full, he would sleep soundly and not even wake up when he called out.

Carrying a cub heavier than the one they brought, Allens gave it to Ling Xiao in satisfaction.

Seeing Allens's bright eyes, Ling Xiao praised, ”You did well.”

Allens smiled in a reserved manner, but his heart was already bursting with anger.

Ever since he knew that his eccentric client had ruined one of the top families in the city, Levi Family, within a few days of his departure, Ling Xiao's image in Allens's heart had risen infinitely.

Ling Xiao thought for a moment, then said to Allens, ”Tomorrow, I will leave the Kata City. If you want to go with me, wait for me outside the east city gate.”

Early morning of the second day, Dongzi, who was reluctant to part with his family, hugged his furry, soundly asleep, and energetic Gayaro. Before Ling Xiao could even walk out of the Kata City realm, he saw a short, fat figure standing in the morning sun.

It was Allens.

As Ling Xiao walked forward, Allens was still looking around, waiting for someone to arrive.

Ling Xiao didn't react when he saw Luo Yuan walk up to him. He lowered his voice and asked in a familiar hoarse voice, ”Who are you waiting for?”

Allens turned his head in surprise. However, the moment he saw Ling Xiao, he was stunned on the spot.

Wasn't this the child that he had bought from the shop earlier?

No matter how thick-skinned Ling Xiao was, he still felt ashamed for self-destructing his vest like that, ”Sorry, I've been hiding this from you for the past few days. ”I was just worried that you'd think I was joking when you found out who I really was and wouldn't take me seriously.”

No wonder Ling Xiao thought this way. The body he possessed was still young, only twelve or thirteen years old at first glance. Because of his chronic malnutrition, he was thin and small. If he wanted to sell the essence of heaven and earth like this, others would think that it was a fake and wouldn't pay attention to it.

Allens had listened to Ling Xiao's explanation, but his mind was still stuck on the moment of shock. He still looked like a fool, it was laughable.

It took a long time for Allens to wake up from this state of shock. Without a doubt, he had a lot of questions in his heart, but he wisely chose to avoid talking about it and asked, ”Then, where are you going next?”

Faced with Allens's question, Ling Xiao only mumbled, ”East side?”

”To the east is …?”

Ling Xiao's face stiffened under Allens's puzzled gaze.
