Chapter 161 "The Ice-Making Tiger"



"Hey, take it back. How could I take your money?" Ah Xu was a little embarrassed, but also a little emotional. This child is so young; he's being forced to grow up.

Yao Yao shook her head, "Hiccup! Just... hiccup, into the city!"

It was only when she heard that the two had just arrived in the city that Yao Yao took out her small purse without hesitation.

She left behind five silver coins for food and two more for returning to the city the next day; the girl was truly honest.

"Yaoyao is such a good girl, but your brother is an adult and will take good care of himself." Ah Xu put the money away and tied it back around the little girl's waist.

Yao Yao nodded vigorously, her eyes red. "Brother Xu... is a good person, unlike the adults in the village who cheated her out of her money and wanted to take Afu to dangerous places to earn money..."

Seeing that the two had finished talking, Amo asked Yao Yao about what happened after they left.

Yao Yao didn't hide anything, and she explained it clearly, albeit haltingly, including how the villagers treated her and Afu.

The little girl has only had Afu by her side and for protection all along, and she has kept everything to herself. Now it sounds like she is confiding in him and complaining.

It was probably because she met Ah Xu, a cousin's older brother, that she felt a little more relaxed and dependent. After all, she was just a child. She didn't cry or make a fuss when she was alone, and she could bear it. But when her parents came, she had to tell on them.

Hearing about the villagers' actions, Ah Xu and Ah Mo felt helpless and disappointed.

They knew the world was tough, but they truly refused to believe that someone they once knew well had turned bad...

Ah Mo was alright; he just sighed and let it go. He had already seen through things when he was the only one left in the family.

Ah Xu felt somewhat guilty. He hadn't paid much attention to Yao Yao because she was protected by Ah Fu and the elders in the clan took good care of her.

He didn't think much when he went to the snow mountain; he was only thinking about seizing an opportunity...

Looking back now, he was too young and didn't consider many things.

"Yaoyao, I'm sorry."

Aside from feeling sorry for Ah Xu, I don't know what else to say. Even knowing all this, he probably wouldn't have taken Yao Yao with him when he went to the snow mountain. The snow mountain is extremely dangerous, with a near-death experience. Yao Yao is simply not suited to go there...

Yao Yao shook her head. She didn't think it had anything to do with A Xu. "Actually, everyone is quite nice to me. It's just that I can't let A Fu do such dangerous things..."

Ah Fu is her only family member, and she can't hurt Ah Fu for the sake of everyone else.

Besides, shouldn't adults be supporting children? Why is it that now she, a child, has to support so many adults?

Yao Yao felt it was the adults' fault; they were lazy and afraid, so they only thought about making Afu earn money and do dangerous things!

Thinking of this, Yao Yao was still a little angry, and her little fists clenched up.

Amo patted the little guy's head, feeling sorry for Yao Yao's plight, but he didn't show much emotion. They had seen many tragic things along the way.

Yao Yao was lucky, because with A Fu around, even if the villagers wanted to take advantage of her, they couldn't stop her from leaving in the end.

Although it was heartbreaking to see Yao Yao suffer so much at such a young age, Amo felt it was all worthwhile.

In this kind of world, innocent children are the most dangerous, and some trials and tribulations are not necessarily a bad thing.

After meeting Yao Yao, A Xu and A Mo stopped going to the information center and instead accompanied Yao Yao to her current residence.

Although Yao Yao is an ordinary person, she still enjoys the treatment of a superhuman because of A Fu. The place where the little girl lives is quite good. Although the house has collapsed, the room is basically intact and there are still basic furniture such as a bed and a table inside.

Because of Afu's presence, Yaoyao occupied a small, dilapidated building all by herself. It wasn't a privilege, but rather because others dared not live with the "monster."

Even though Afu never intentionally hurt anyone, and Yao Yao was still their master, people are afraid of death. With such a huge beast next to them, no one could sleep.

Even people with superpowers don't want to get too close to Afu, let alone ordinary people.

So when Yao Yao invited the two of them to stay, Amo agreed.

Now that they've met, they naturally won't abandon Yao Yao, a little girl, to survive alone. Besides, they're both superhumans, so there's nothing to worry about.

They were even less afraid of Afu. Yao Yao, an ordinary child, could depend on Afu for survival, so it was clear that Afu had no intention of harming anyone and was highly intelligent. They were also familiar with Afu, so naturally they were not too afraid.

Besides, both of them are level two ability users, so even if Afu really makes a move, they are not afraid.

Afu, however, was somewhat unhappy, as it sensed that these two familiar people were much stronger than before.

Therefore, the big yellow dog unceremoniously drove the two to the room on the far side, and guarded Yao Yao closely throughout the night.

Amo and Axu had no objection to this. Afu was obviously hurt by the villagers' actions, so it was normal for him to be wary of them.

If Afu hadn't been so vigilant, the man and the dog would probably have been reduced to bones long ago.

The next day, Axu and Amo followed Yaoyao to the information center to form their own team.

There are currently no entry requirements for adventure teams; all you need to do is fill out a form.

Yao Yao immediately parted ways with the group of women.

The woman was very unwilling and angry. She knew that the strength and defense of the demon beasts were extremely powerful, making them excellent meat shields and vanguards. With Afu around, the danger to their team was reduced by at least 20%.

But after Afu's two terrifying roars, the woman had no choice but to leave.
