C691 (1/2)
Located in the desert, this place was rather open and valiant.
He picked a tavern with a slightly gorgeous appearance and prepared to let the Fairy Doctor and Yun Yun have a good rest while he took a bath.
As for Li Dao, he was already spotless, so there was no need for him to go through so much trouble.
In front of the inn squatted a few ragged beggars, their dirty faces devoid of clothing. The lower half of their bodies were tattered, revealing their young and emaciated chests.
One of the beggars was a thirteen-fourteen year old girl. Under the scorching heat, she was wrapped in a thick linen robe. Her face was somewhat clean and her figure was petite. She squatted in the corner without saying a word. The surrounding beggars kept their distance from her and looked at her with disgust.
The girl's shrunk body, from inside to outside, revealed a kind of cowardice and inferiority. Although she was a beggar, her small face was still pretty and clean. It was obvious that she was a beauty.
The Fairy Doctor furrowed her brows. From this little girl, she could see that she had the same feeling of inferiority and cowardice as before. The only difference was that the Fairy Doctor was not as delicate as this girl and was much stronger.
Yun Yun's gentle eyes became even gentler as she walked toward the little girl with the Fairy Doctor.
Li Dao squinted his eyes. This girl was a little unusual. There was an unstable force lurking in her body. This force was attached to her blood vessels.
”Little girl, what's your name? Where are your parents?”
The Fairy Doctor bent down and approached the girl. Her eyes were filled with pity and her tone was very gentle. She was afraid of scaring this timid and pitiful girl.
The little girl shrank back against the corner of the wall and raised her head to look at the Fairy Doctor. She was infected by the Fairy Doctor's smile and seemed to think that the Fairy Doctor wasn't a bad person. She said weakly, ”Elder sister, you are really beautiful.”
The corner of the Fairy Doctor's mouth turned into a crescent smile. She extended her hand to touch the little girl's head. When she thought of her 'Woeful Poison Body', she involuntarily withdrew her hand. One must know that an expert Dou Huang like Yun Yun could not interact with her for long. Moreover, this girl who did not have any cultivation was likely going to harm her the moment she touched the other party.
The little girl saw the Fairy Doctor's actions and her eyes dimmed. She shrank back into the corner again. She also knew that if she were to get too close to the Fairy Doctor, she would dirty this beautiful big sister.
The Fairy Doctor felt a little uncomfortable. The little girl's actions did not fail to show that she was a sensitive girl like herself.
”Little sister, you haven't told me your name yet. What about your parents? ”
The Fairy Doctor's tone became even softer as her eyes lit up. Watching from the side, Yun Yun felt even more pity for the little girl, her body radiating with pity.
”Sister, my name is Qing Lin. ”Qing Lin had no father and his mother died a few years ago,” the girl replied weakly. She looked at the Fairy Doctor as if afraid that she would despise her.
The Fairy Doctor forced out a smile and said, ”Elder sister, it's wrong. It caused you to feel sad. Take this money and buy a set of better clothes. Then, leave this place and live a good life. ”
