Chapter 153 - 151. The White Haired Kid II (1/2)
Third person POV
The boy went on his knees and kowtowed to Hong er. Hong er quickly reached out to him but his words stumped Hong er.
The boy: ”Please let me properly thank big sister for saving my life twice. Even if I kowtowed 1 thousand times, it can't thank enough for your gracious.”
Hong er knew how it felt to be saved and cared when one was at its lowest state so does Meiyun and Huayun. Hong er patted his head and gently said to him.
Hong er: ”En. I'm glad my action can save people's lives. I will think of a way for you to repay me, no need to kowtow 1 thousand times.”
The boy: ”Bu-but how? I don't have anything right now.”
Hong er smiled at him.
Hong er: ”I have an idea but I won't tell you yet.”
Even though the boy was curious, he obediently nodded his head.
Hong er: ”You said that you don't have name and home right?”
The boy: ”Yes.”
Hong er: ”Why don't I bring you to my house and give you a name?”
A wide smile appeared on the boy's face.
The boy: ”Yes!”
Hong er: ”Hhmm, what should I name you? Meiyun, Huayun, help me to think up a name.”
Meiyun: ”Hhmm, snow….snow…”
Huayun: ”En. Snow suits him. But what is next?”
Hong er: ”Xue…Xue…”
(A/N: Xue means snow.)
The three of them put their finger on their chin and contemplated. Then Hong er recalled how his eyes looked like when he was still in cage.
Hong er: ”Wolf! Xue Lang!”
(A/N: Lang means wolf)
Meiyun: ”Oh! Xue Lang! What a good name!”
Huayun: ”His hair indeed looks like a snow wolf's fur.”
The three of them cheered as they came up with a suitable name for Xue Lang. Hong er realized that she hadn't asked for his consent and just went on like a bull. She turned to Xue Lang and saw him looking down with a smile from ear to ear. He was blushing from his cheeks to his ears. The three ladies cooed and hugged Xue Lang whilst rubbing his head.

Few hours later, they finally arrived at the dock where Hong er set off from. They took quite a long time as they had to destroy the buyers' sh.i.p.s in that small island. Without any delay, the elite forces brought the kids back to their family and for the homeless kids, they were given an opportunity to work with Hong er.
Hong er: ”How about working in my place?”
Kids: ”Thanking big sister for your kindness!”
It was better if they had to work as a servant rather than wandering around without food and shelter but what they didn't expect was Hong er's place was a palace. Their mouth was wide open as they entered the main gate of the palace.
There were five of them excluding Xue Lang, they were sitting in a carriage and they couldn't get over with the couch (idk what it is called, basically it is the seat.), it was so soft that they fell asleep during the ride.
Hong er didn't put Xue Lang together with the other kids as she saw how they were scared of his white hair and eyes so he was in another carriage. Hong er was greeted by the servants along the way to her palace while she was on top of Xiao Bai's back.
Servants: ”Greetings to Her Majesty Empress.”
She dismounted from Xiao Bai when they reached the place where carriage was not allowed. The kids came out from their carriage and eyed every corner of the palace with their big eyes.
