Xue'er knelt straight in front of Xiao Ning, which surprised him. He quickly helped her up and said
Miss Xue'er, there's no need to be so generous. I'm just helping you, and I don't have any other intentions...
"Master Xiao! I have nothing to repay you. My family is dead now and I have nowhere to go. I only ask to be a maid by your side, serving tea, washing clothes, cooking, and even warming your bed. Just consider it as a favor from you to give me a meal...
For a moment, Xiao Ning was in a dilemma. He didn't want this woman to delay his work, so he quickly refused, saying that he already had a maid and didn't need another one.
Xue'er knelt for a long time and couldn't get up. She begged desperately, asking Xiao Ning to take her in, otherwise she would keep kneeling.
Xiao Ning looked embarrassed, then sat on the stool without saying a word. After a long time, he spoke:
"Ms. Xue'er, I won't keep a liar around me, do you understand?"
Xue'er's heart tightened. She didn't expect that the person in front of her actually found out that what she said yesterday was a lie. She couldn't help but tremble. She thought that the boy was just a young master from a certain aristocratic family, who might covet her beauty. Now that her cultivation was completely gone, she wanted to stay with him for shelter. The pill he fed her yesterday was not an ordinary item. It must be a good thing that could save her from the King of Hell.
Mr. Xiao, I didn't mean to hide this from you...
She said this with a slightly tearful voice, and then she prayed silently in her heart. After a while, a source of fire slowly appeared from her chest.
"What is this? The source of my life!"
Xiao Ning looked at her sharply,
Sir, this is the source of my life force. Now I hand it over to you. Xue'er's life or death is entirely up to you! I have no other intentions, I just want to stay by your side and work like a slave. The reason why I deceived you is that I have some unspeakable secrets, but please rest assured that I will never harm you!
She spoke hysterically, her voice was as harsh as a broken gong, and like the cry of a cuckoo, which made people feel pity. She knew that if she didn't do this, Xiao Ning would never take her in. If she was abandoned, as a mortal, it would be impossible for her to survive in this world. She would either be sold to a brothel or used as a furnace, and it would be better to die!
Xiao Ning seemed to understand why Xue'er would do this. After all, this is a world where people eat each other, especially a beautiful woman like this, who has no cultivation, must find a backer. Xiao Ning looked at Xue'er and couldn't help but feel sympathy. His original resolute attitude was also shaken at this moment. After all, Xue'er handed over the source of her life, which meant that she completely handed her life over to him.
"Okay, Miss Xue'er, I can keep you by my side for now. However, I have to remind you that I came to the Shenxiao Sect to become a disciple. If I succeed in becoming a disciple and the elders of the sect do not allow you to enter the sect, I will not be able to keep you. At that time, I will return your life source to you, and you can only leave it to fate in the future...
As he said this, he took Xue’er’s source of life.
Xue'er cried with joy and kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.
Xiao Ning did not ask about Xue'er's past. Since she committed suicide, it was unlikely that she had any hidden dangers. Even if there were, she was not a big deal with her strength. As for the forces behind her...
He has no cultivation and has fallen to the point of committing suicide. What kind of power is there? And who is more powerful than Xiao Ning now?
Then he walked out the door, and Xue'er followed closely behind him, and they left the inn one after another.
The master and servant walked slowly down the street, and came to a candied haws vendor. He picked out two assorted strings and placed them in Xueer's hand. There were grapes, hawthorns, and pears on the candied haws. She took a bite and tasted sour and sweet, and was very happy.
It had been a long time since she had walked on the street so happily. Ever since that incident, she had been imprisoned and kicked around like a ball, until finally she had to...
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
Xiao Ning was a little confused when he saw this: "Candy candy is so delicious, can you cry while eating it?"
He walked up to the girl and wiped the tears from her eyes with his hands.
Hey, don’t cry. What’s so delicious about a candied haws? I’ll take you to eat something more delicious later!
Then she took his hand and walked away.
Xue'er felt the warmth of the big hand, and her heart was moved. It turned out that being cared for by others was so comfortable...
They walked into the teahouse to listen to a story, and the storyteller happened to tell the story of the three heroes fighting Lu Bu, which was told vividly. When it came to Liu Bei joining the battlefield and barely defeating Lu Bu, the audience couldn't help but sigh and scold Liu, Guan and Zhang for not following martial ethics and bullying the minority with their numbers. Some people said that Lu Bu was so brave that the three men barely defeated him, and he was the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms!
Immediately, the voice of the storyteller was drowned out by the noise from the audience. Xiao Ning and the other person felt bored and left.
In one morning, the two became familiar with each other, as if they had known each other for a long time. At noon, Xiao Ning took Xue'er into a restaurant. Xue'er looked at the dazzling array of dishes with her eyes full of anticipation.
Xiao Ning smiled and asked, "What do you like to eat? Just order it."
Xue'er lowered her head shyly and said softly, "I'm not picky about food, so just let me make the decision, young master."
Xiao Ning smiled and ordered a few signature dishes. After a while, the food was served. Xueer tasted the delicious food with gratitude in her heart.
After dinner, Xiao Ning and Xue'er continued to stroll in the city. When they passed a silk shop, he stopped and pointed at a piece of cloth inside and said, "That piece of cloth is good and will suit you very well."
Xue'er looked in the direction of his finger, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but then she became dim and said, "I am just a maid now, how can I be qualified to wear such nice clothes..."
