"Why are you paying for me?"
"I still say the same thing just now. Young master is neatly dressed, well-dressed, and has an outstanding temperament. He doesn't look like a bully who would eat and dine for free." Liang Yan looked at him with a smile and repeated it softly.
The next second, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Sir, please forgive my frankness. You have both hands and feet, and all your limbs are intact. Even if you can't find a proper job, you can still make some money by working as a mover."
"Even though I can't afford delicacies, I can still afford steamed buns. Why bother with that free meal? Is it worth sacrificing my future for a few steamed buns?"
"Perhaps you have your reasons, but it's not easy for a bun vendor to make money, so I'll pay for the buns first. Whether you want to pay it back later or not, remember to stay on the right path."
Liang Yan gave a heartfelt exhortation, but Qiongqi looked confused and asked again, "What exactly is this money? And what does "free dining" mean?"
Liang Yan was dumbfounded and exclaimed "Ah", but he didn't roll his eyes like the others did. Instead, he asked very seriously: "You...you really don't understand?"
"I... I came from the mountains and have never been down the mountain before, so I don't know what you mean." Qiongqi quickly thought of a solution and made up a lie to evade the other party.
But it wasn't that he wanted to lie, it was just that he really couldn't tell the truth. If he confessed that he was the ferocious beast Qiongqi at this time, he would probably be regarded as a lunatic by this group of people.
Liang Yan nodded in sudden realization. She had felt that there was a misunderstanding just now, but she didn't expect that there really was a misunderstanding. It turned out that it was not because of any difficulties, but because she really didn't understand!
She smiled helplessly and shook her head, then patiently taught the other person some daily knowledge.
Qiongqi didn't know it was his fault at first, so he was always very prejudiced against humans. But after she taught him these daily knowledge, his face and ears couldn't help but turn red.
It turns out... this was really just a misunderstanding, and he was even more at fault. He was so ashamed! So ashamed!
His view of the world and human beings, after jumping back and forth between "good" and "bad" several times, finally stayed in a positive direction for a while.
He scratched his head awkwardly, "I...I was mistaken. I didn't expect the rules in your world would be like this."
"Your human world?" Liang Yan looked confused.
"Um... I was talking about... I was talking about the foot of your mountain. I didn't say anything about the human world. Did you hear it wrong?" When Qiongqi heard her question, he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. He quickly changed his words and tried to evade the question.
Without waiting for her to respond, he changed the subject, saying, "Thank you for paying for me, but I don't plan to stay at the foot of the mountain, so I won't be working to earn money. I probably won't be able to pay this back."
It was also the first time that Liang Yan saw someone who could not pay back the money owed and speak so freshly and confidently, but strangely, she did not feel the slightest bit of disgust in her heart.
Maybe... it's because he is honest enough. If he can't pay it back, then he can't pay it back. It's better than those who say they will pay it back but don't, and keep making excuses to delay. Besides, it was she who took the initiative to borrow the money.
At this moment, Qiongqi suddenly changed the subject and said, "But I don't like to owe others anything. How about... I tell you your fortune?"
Liang Yan let out a confused "ah". Before she could come to her senses and refuse, the other party said seriously: "Your forehead is dark, and you must have a great disaster recently. If you want to avoid this disaster, don't go far away recently."
"Ah...this..." Liang Yan's expression was subtle and hesitant, not knowing how to answer.
In fact, she really doesn't believe in these things, even fortune-telling and divination are scams.
Qiongqi saw through her thoughts at a glance and said expressionlessly: "I always speak my mind and never lie."
"Whether you believe what I just said or not, I've already said everything I need to say. It's up to you to decide what to do."
God knows, although he has a bad temper and beating and killing people is commonplace, he really doesn't like to lie. If there is a disagreement, then just fight! Who is afraid of who?
There was a thick dark aura between Liang Yan's brows, and he looked like he would not live long. Anyone with a little magical power could see that. One life is worth a piece of silver, which should be more than enough, right?
In fact, the reason why he only gave a reminder instead of intervening forcibly was because the disasters that people have to endure in their lives are all destined, as the saying goes, "One wrong step, all wrong."
Although he was not afraid of the so-called "divine punishment", if he forcibly intervened to save Liang Yan, the future trajectory of her life would change, and it might even be very different from before.
The disaster that she avoided this time may happen to her again in another way next time, so it is better to stop at this point and put the choice in her hands, and also in the hands of God.
If she was obedient and avoided this disaster, it meant that God wanted to change her fate. If she was disobedient and failed to avoid it, it meant that God did not want her fate to change.
Qiongqi was a little curious about how Liang Yan would answer, but she kept her head down and didn't say anything, so he stopped trying to persuade her.
"I've said everything I need to say. Our differences are now settled. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now. We'll meet again in the future..."
