Chapter 114 Little Warmth and Little Nudity
"May I have your name?"
"Li...Li Xiaowen."
"Li Xiaowen, Li Xiaonuan, warm, what a good name." Lai Yang nodded, "Okay, you just rest here with me and get well first."
"I... I don't have any money. I can't afford the medical expenses for you." Li Xiaowen said softly with a red face and an embarrassed look.
"It doesn't matter. I just happen to be short of two people to do the heavy work. If you don't have money, use your body to pay off the debt." Lai Yang said calmly without caring.
"Food and lodging are provided, but there is no salary. As long as you do a good job and work for me for a month, it will be considered to offset your medical expenses this time."
"This matter has nothing to do with my sister. I can do any job." Li Xiaowen shouted quickly.
"Sister, I can also help with the work." Li Xiaonuan said firmly.
"This room is for you from now on. My room is the one on the far left. When you feel better, go to the bathroom and take a shower. If you need hot water, go to the kitchen or tell me. We can talk about the rest after you recover."
After saying that, Lai Yang turned and left the room, returning to the first floor, leaving the space to the two sisters.
I had nothing to do and it was almost time for dinner.
Lai Yang, as usual, eavesdropped on all kinds of gossip in the restaurant next door.
Who committed a crime and was arrested, who was having an affair with whom, whose things were stolen, and someone died in a certain place.
Basically, the news is of no use to Lai Yang.
Of course, Lai Yang didn't expect to hear any useful news in just a few days.
The big restaurant next door was obviously not simple. Most of what Lai Yang could easily hear were the idle chatter of the restaurant's patrons. The restaurant's private rooms were all equipped with isolation formations to prevent outsiders from prying. If someone tried to forcibly peek, they would definitely be discovered by the people inside.
The name of the restaurant is Wenxianlou, and it is most likely related to the Wenxian Sect.
Wenxianlou has a total of nine floors. The first and second floors are for ordinary guests to eat and drink. The prices are good and affordable, and there are singing and dancing performances in the middle.
However, if you want to reach the third level, you need certain qualifications, either being a wealthy businessman, a powerful official, or a cultivator.
The higher you go, the greater your status or strength, and the clearer the class distinctions.
They opened such a large restaurant on the territory of the Wenxian Sect and dared to name it Wenxian Tower.
Apart from the restaurant business run by the Xianzong, who else would dare to be so presumptuous under the nose of Tai Sui?
The Wenxian Sect is one of the top immortal sects. It has many powerful people in the Tribulation Realm. They can kill you with one palm strike.
Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan walked down from the upstairs of the inn.
Meeting Lai Yang's gaze, Li Xiaonuan said timidly, "Sir, my sister feels much better. We want to take a bath."
Hearing this, Lai Yang nodded, stood up and said calmly: "Well, wait, I'll get you some hot water."
After a while, Lai Yang prepared a large bucket of hot water and bath beans for the two sisters to use at their convenience.
While the two sisters were cleaning each other's bodies, Lai Yang released his spiritual power to clean their clothes.
There was no other way. There were no children's clothes in his storage bag. He couldn't let them come out naked later.
If you wear dirty clothes, it would be a waste of time to wash them.
Since Lai Yang decided to take them in temporarily, he would take them to buy some suitable clothes later.
Afterwards, he let the two of them be responsible for cleaning the inn to pay off the debt. When he had nothing to do, he would listen to gossip, study martial arts, practice breakthroughs, and achieve perfection.
After an incense stick of time, two fair-skinned little girls wearing ragged clothes came out.
Li Xiaowen looked a little uncomfortable and pulled his sister Li Xiaonuan.
Just when she was about to say something, their stomachs suddenly rumbled, and they both blushed.
Seeing this, Lai Yang didn't say anything. He just said "wait" and got up and walked into the kitchen.
Soon, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.
The two little girls' stomachs protested more and more, and they looked towards the kitchen with greedy eyes, full of anticipation.
Seeing Lai Yang walking out from the kitchen, Li Xiaowen quickly withdrew his gaze, but Li Xiaonuan still looked at him with her big watery eyes.
Then, three hot dishes, one soup and three bowls of rice were placed on the table.
"Eat, there's more rice in the pot if it's not enough." Lai Yang said calmly.
"Thank...thank you." Li Xiaowen thanked awkwardly.
"Thank you, sir." Li Xiaonuan said with a smile.
Lai Yang shook his head slightly, then accompanied the two little girls to eat.
Soon, Lai Yang found that they only picked up vegetables but did not touch the meat, and immediately showed a strange expression: "You don't eat meat?"
"Can my sister and I eat meat too?" Upon hearing this, Li Xiaonuan showed a surprised expression, as if she had heard something incredible.
"You are at the age of growing up. How can you grow up well without eating meat?" Lai Yang realized that something was wrong and said softly.
"My sister and I could only eat meat on special days. Is today a special day?"
"Today is not a special day. Even if it is not a special day, you can still eat meat."
As he spoke, Lai Yang put a chopstick of meat into Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan's bowls respectively, and said calmly: "You will have to work for me in the future. How can you have the energy to work if you don't eat well? Although I can't give you anything if you stay with me, it's no problem to take care of your two mouths. Not only can you eat meat today, but you will also have meat for every meal tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and in the future. Eat with peace of mind."
"Yeah." Li Xiaonuan nodded heavily and looked very happy.
"Good." Li Xiaonuan ate a piece of meat with a happy expression in her eyes. Then she put the meat in the bowl in front of Li Xiaowen and said with a smile, "Sister, eat meat."
Li Xiaowen hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and ate it.
"Sister, is it delicious?" Li Xiaonuan asked expectantly.
"It's delicious." Li Xiaowen nodded, his expression relaxed a lot.
But there was still a trace of unremovable sadness on her face, as if she was worried about something.
"Eat more if you like. I'll take you to buy new clothes later." Lai Yang said softly.
"New clothes!" Li Xiaonuan's eyes lit up.
"No need, you have already helped us a lot, how can we let you spend money again?" Li Xiaowen said quickly.
"It's okay. I can't let you work in my inn wearing the tattered clothes you have now. If any guests see it, they will think I am abusing you. That's it." Lai Yang said in a slightly tough tone.
Li Xiaowen was suddenly speechless.
Li Xiaowen doesn't look much older than Li Xiaonuan, but the former's personality is much more mature than the latter.
Li Xiaonuan has a childlike mentality.
On the other hand, although Lai Yang rescued Li Xiaowen and provided her and her sisters with food.
But there was always a deep sense of defensiveness and alienation in her eyes, and she did not completely let down her guard towards Lai Yang.
Of course, Lai Yang could imagine more of the reasons for this.
Two little girls, their village was burned down, their parents were killed, and they ended up on the streets.
Considering the scene when they first met, they must have suffered a lot.
Li Xiaonuan is protected by her sister Li Xiaowen, but Li Xiaowen can only rely on herself. If she wants to protect her sister, she has to become mature.
But no matter how mature she pretends to be, it can't change the fact that she is still a little girl.
"Sir, you are such a good person. You saved my sister, gave us food, and bought us new clothes." Li Xiaonuan said with an innocent smile.
"Haha, if I save your sister, give you food, and buy you new clothes, does that make me a good person?" Lai Yang smiled.
Li Xiaonuan showed a puzzled expression, tilted her head and said, "Isn't it?"
"Sometimes, bad guys will disguise themselves as good guys and use a little bit of goodness to deceive people. Once you fall for it, they will capture you and sell you off."
"Xiao Nuan, don't let yourself be sold out."
Li Xiaonuan was so scared that she hugged Li Xiaowen tightly. She didn't notice that her sister's expression changed.
"Okay, I was just kidding you. Don't trust others so easily in the future. Eat well. I'll take you shopping for clothes later."
"Mr. scares Xiao Nuan, that's bad."
