Chapter 158 Sir, help me up. I was so scared that my legs went weak.

Ye Li tugged at her collar, ruffled her hair, pinched her thigh, and walked towards the alley entrance with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.

When Ye Li saw the person in front of him, he was stunned.

The man was tall and slender, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, a smooth face, a pair of inky pupils, as black as the night sky, a high nose bridge, and a faint smile at the corners of his lips.

The long, beautiful black hair was tied up high with a crown, and the inky scales on the snake's tail emitted starlight.

His back was straight and he exuded an aura of diligence and trustworthiness.

His whole body seemed to be glowing, allowing people to spot him in the crowd at a glance.

"Yiyi, are you sure this is Teng Xi?" Ye Li rubbed her eyes which were still filled with tears and looked carefully in the direction of Teng Xi.

Teng Xi and Jin Xi exude completely different temperaments, and their dissimilar looks make it difficult to connect the two people together.

However, if you look closely, you can still see some of Jin Xi's appearance in that face.

[Yes, he is Teng Xi. Host, go and get your favorability up. Once it's full, we can dump him.]

"Sir, are you Lord Tengxi? There is a gangster in the alley. A kind-hearted orc just subdued him. Sir, please go and help him."

Ye Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, tidied her slightly messy collar and hair, and reached out to pull Teng Xi's sleeve.

Teng Xi took a step back, barely avoiding the hand that Ye Li extended. The corner of his mouth contained a standard professional smile, "Don't worry, female. I will send someone to teach him a lesson right away."

After he finished speaking, he winked at the people behind him and said in a cold voice, "Come in and show me who dares to do evil in broad daylight."

"Yes! Don't worry, sir." Everyone behind Teng Xi nodded in unison and then walked towards the depths of the alley with high spirits.

"Sir, help me up. I was so scared that my legs went weak." Ye Li looked at Teng Xi in a weak manner, with a faint smile on her lips.

As she spoke, she leaned towards Teng Xi.

Teng Xi winked at the tall guard standing beside him and said, "Teng Ze, please help me."

"Yes, sir." After saying that, Teng Ze reached out to Ye Li to support her.

Originally, Ye Li didn't have anything to do. She just wanted to use this method of close contact to see if she could increase her favorability. Since Teng Xi didn't want to...

Ye Li waved at Teng Ze who was holding out his hand to her, "Thank you, but no thanks, my legs aren't weak anymore."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Teng Ze's eyes. In fact, there were many females like Ye Li who deliberately approached Teng Xi every day, but they were always rejected by Teng Xi in a tactful way.

Their master is really a man of integrity, and is a role model for other unmarried males.

Teng Ze sighed inwardly, then looked at Ye Li and said, "You don't have to be disappointed. Our adults are like this. He has mysophobia."

"Oh~ Mysophobia~" Ye Li rolled her eyes silently in her heart.

"Why don't you consider me?" Teng Ze said this in a very low voice, but Ye Li still caught it easily.

Ye Li raised her eyes to look at Teng Ze, shook her head and politely refused, then her eyes were firm, and she said softly with a smile on her lips, "I only want your adults." I am determined to get your adults.

She spoke quite loudly, so Teng Xi could naturally hear it. He raised his hand and rubbed his nose to ease the embarrassment.

Soon, the soldiers who had just gone to search the alley came out.

Among them was a male orc with a bruised face and beaten.

He was still in a coma at this time, so he was particularly honest.

"Sir, we only found this man in the alley. We don't know if he harassed this female." The leading guard saluted to Teng Xi, then said respectfully.

"Yes, it's him. Where is my benefactor? Didn't you see him?" Ye Li twisted her fingers, a hint of loss flashing in her deep purple eyes.

"I'm sorry, we only found this one person in the alley. The benefactor you mentioned may have left." Facing the gaze of the pretty little female Shui Lulu, the leading guard scratched his head embarrassedly.

[Wow~ What a good trick of creating something out of nothing~] Yi Yi sighed carefully in Ye Li's mind.

"Now that the bad guy has been arrested, you female can go home first."

"You can tell me where your home is and I'll send someone to take you back."

Teng Xi cleared his throat and spoke in a gentlemanly and elegant manner.

"To be honest, I have no home anymore. I just escaped from my home." As she said this, tears appeared in the corners of Ye Li's eyes again, making people feel pity for her.

"This..." Teng Xi stroked his chin lightly, his handsome eyebrows slightly gathered together, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

"Sir, please accept me. You can let me be your bed-warmer." After saying that, Ye Li lowered her eyes and showed contempt for herself in her heart.

"I am really homeless. I don't have any means to make money. If I sleep on the streets, I will either starve to death or be kidnapped by others."

Having said this, Ye Li deliberately raised her sparkling, tearful eyes and looked at Teng Xi.

"Everyone praises Lord Tengxi for his dedication to duty and his concern for the people. I'm sure he won't let a homeless female wander around outside."

Ye Li raised her hand to rub the tears from the corners of her eyes and glanced at Teng Xi out of the corner of her eye.

Teng Xi lowered his head and touched his chin, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he nodded at Ye Li and said, "There's no need for a female to warm the bed. We are short of maids recently. I wonder if you... are willing to do so."

"I'm willing, as long as Master Tengxi accepts me, I can do anything you ask of me." After saying that, Ye Li despised herself deeply in her heart.

"In that case, then come home with me..." After saying that, Teng Xi slowly turned around, turned his back to Ye Li and hooked his finger at her.

"Thank you, Master Teng Xi, for your help~" After saying that, Ye Li chased after him happily and stretched out her hand to hug Teng Xi's arm.

Teng Xi cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "I don't like to be touched by others. I hope you can keep a distance from me in the future."

Ye Li smacked her lips and glanced at Teng Xi secretly. Ha, I've seen you touch me less before.

Not only did he touch her, he also bit her...

…

Not long after, Qi Yu, Long Yin, and Feng Ling all learned of Ye Li's whereabouts, and they set out for the Teng Snake Tribe that same day.
