Chapter 844 Compassion
On the other side, the girl felt her eyes flash before her eyes, and when she opened them again, she came to a room that looked very luxurious.
The hatred in her eyes had not yet melted away, and the tear marks on her face had not yet dried, mixed with the doubts that had arisen at this moment, she looked a little funny.
The room was exquisitely furnished, each piece exuding a faint luster, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance.
She raised her eyes and saw the beautiful girl in front of her looking at her with her forehead supported. She opened her mouth, but because of her intense emotions, no sound came out.
Luo Li was wearing a dark red long dress, with her long hair half tied up. She gently touched her forehead with her fingers, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Her expression was cold and she said calmly, "Can't you speak?"
As she spoke, she slowly stood up and approached the girl step by step.
The girl was forced to retreat again and again until her back hit the cold wall. Luo Li's face was close at hand, and her eyes seemed to contain a deep cold pool, both cold and addictive.
The girl trembled and asked, "Who are you? Why am I here?"
Luo Li's eyebrows jumped, and she retreated back to sit at the table, crossing her long legs, and said half-seriously, "I rescued you, and you treat me like this. It really makes me sad."
The girl's eyes were filled with vigilance. "We've never met before. Why did you save me? What's your purpose?!"
A hint of hidden impatience flashed across Luo Li's eyes, even though she knew that it was natural for the girl to be wary.
However, she saved people out of kindness, not to be suspected of having ulterior motives.
She stood up and said coldly, "Barrett, let him out."
The girl was stunned. She didn't expect things to develop like this. She suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Barrett frowned and said coldly, "What an ungrateful human being."
He immediately moved his fingertips and was about to throw the person out.
The girl seemed to have just realized, "No!"
She carefully pulled Luo Li's sleeve and said, "Please, don't throw me out."
Luo Li frowned slightly, and her cold eyes fell on her, "I said, you can leave. Isn't it good to go to another territory?"
Her compassion at that time was only to set her free.
But the girl shook her head with tears in her eyes, "I can't escape. No matter where I go, he will find me!"
Hearing this, Luo Li lowered her eyes and looked at the girl in front of her who looked no different from the others, a hint of doubt rising between her brows.
The girl's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
After she finished speaking, she grabbed Luo Li's sleeve tightly, her fingers turning white from the force, as if that was her only lifeline.
Her voice was tearful, yet resolute. "Please, let me stay here, even if it means being the humblest servant. I'm willing to do anything to escape from him."
As she spoke, she knelt down, buried her head deeply, and her thin shoulders trembled slightly. The scene was pitiful.
Luo Li looked at him, "Who is it that wants to arrest you?"
The girl raised her eyes tremblingly, "War God Territory, Xuanshuang Nangong Family."
Luo Li's gaze instantly became solemn, and the air around them seemed to freeze.
Xuanshuang Nangong Family...
During this time, she also got to know the Continent of Gods. The Xuanshuang Nangong family owns the northernmost land of the God of War Territory. The people in the family are born with the ability to comprehend the realm of ice. There are many powerful spiritual masters in the family, and they have a very high reputation in the God of War Territory.
The girl's eyes were filled with despair and pleading, her tears dripping onto the bluestone slabs, creating ripples.
The night wind blew past, ruffling her messy hair. Under the moonlight, her face looked exceptionally pale.
Luo Li's sleeve was tightly pulled by her, and the fabric made a slight sound due to her strength, like a faint distress signal, echoing in the silent night.
She frowned slightly, "Why would someone from the Nangong family appear in Luoyue City today?"
Lu Yao didn't dare to let go of the hand she was holding, and only said, "He came to the Ancient God Auction House to participate in the auction."
Luo Li looked at her, "Then why would he take you with him when he went out?"
There was a hint of hatred in Luyao's eyes, but she didn't say anything.
Although the girl in front of her saved her, her long experience made it difficult for her to trust someone in a short period of time. So at this moment, although she was grateful to Luo Li, she would not easily tell her secret.
She was silent and didn't say anything.
If she didn't say it, Luo Li wouldn't force it. She just said, "You don't want to leave, do you want to stay with me?"
Luyao's numb expression moved and he nodded slowly.
She herself knew that she had nothing to offer, and it was really wishful thinking for her to want to stay by her side.
However, the girl in front of him must be very powerful to be able to take her away right under his nose.
She didn't want to go back. She didn't want to endure those nightmarish days for even a moment longer.
Luo Li looked at her eyes filled with complicated emotions, and her heart moved.
"Forget it. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you."
She handed over a pill and said, "This is a shape-changing pill. You can stay here until the auction is over."
Lu Yao took the faintly glowing shape-changing pill with trembling hands, with disbelief flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect that she would actually give in.
She raised her head slightly and looked into Luo Li's gentle yet determined eyes, as if she saw a ray of light in her life.
The candlelight in the room flickered, stretching the two people's shadows and casting them on the wall.
Lu Yao bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She murmured softly, "Thank you..."
Although the voice was soft, it was full of gratitude for rebirth.
Luo Li glanced at her and said nothing more. She planned to let Momo live with the little furball, while she would live in Momo's current room.
Just as Luo Li was about to leave, Lu Yao suddenly said, "My benefactor, my name is Lu Yao! Could you please tell me your name, Lu Yao?"
Luo Li looked back at her, "My last name is Luo."
After saying that, she left the room directly. Barrett looked at Lu Yao, shook his head, and left too.
In the corridor outside the room, Barrett frowned, "The Xuanshuang Nangong family is not an unknown family. You offended them for an unknown girl, which is not a good deal."
Luo Li raised an eyebrow, "When have I ever considered the pros and cons of doing things? I just want to follow my heart."
She sighed, "When I saw her eyes filled with hatred, I felt pity and saved her. I don't know if it was a wrong decision."
"But..." She smiled, "Since I did it, I won't regret it. You've been very optimistic about her these past few days."
Barrett's brows relaxed, and she still looked the same as when he first met her.
He smiled and said, "Leave it to me."
On the day of the auction, Luo Li did not go out, but looking at the situation on the street outside the window, she knew that countless people were probably flocking to the auction.
