"You seem hungry, senior. Let me take you to get something to eat. Shall we sit down and talk?"
Li Zhu, having transmigrated from another era, possessed a mastery of flattery and was adept at reading people. For instance, the two people before him were dressed in tattered clothes, clearly having gone without food for many days…
No matter what this person does, as long as you serve them well, you can definitely turn a big problem into a small one and a small problem into nothing...
"Alright..."
The burly man did not refuse, and the group walked to the nearby tavern and sat down...
The burly man didn't stand on ceremony and ordered the best wine. He ate meat and drank wine at the same time, occasionally putting some food on the little girl's plate next to him!
"Senior, there's no need to rush. We can talk about it slowly..."
At this point, Li Zhu was no longer in a hurry. This strong man definitely had no ill intentions, otherwise, with his strength, killing him would have been a piece of cake. But so far, he had not felt any danger!
"I've been hungry for too long, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself in front of His Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Senior is a man of strong character, not bound by such formalities. I admire him greatly, how could I possibly laugh at him..."
Li Zhu spoke eloquently, his flattery was subtle and made people feel very comfortable!
"Senior, thankfully you meant no harm. Otherwise, with so many experts around me, I would have felt truly guilty if I had accidentally hurt you..."
Li Zhu subtly tried to find out the strong man's strength, after all, the sudden appearance of a powerful expert in front of him always made him feel uneasy!
"You mean that little monkey? He's definitely a master..."
The burly man nodded in response, saying that even a dignified marquis or king was barely considered a master in his eyes, so what was his strength?
Li Zhu was stunned for a long time before he realized that the little monkey the burly man was talking about was the Marquis...
"Senior is truly outspoken; I admire you..."
Li Zhu said embarrassedly, after all, it's always embarrassing to have your thoughts exposed!
"Haha, you have such a lovely voice, I can't help but want to chat with you more..."
The burly man laughed loudly as he spoke!
The burly man quickly finished eating, then looked up at Li Zhu and said...
"I feel bad about getting a free meal, so consider this ring as payment for the meal..."
As he spoke, the burly man took a ring off his hand and handed it to Li Zhu!
Li Zhu initially intended to refuse, after all, what valuable things could a beggar possibly have? But when he looked at the ring the other man offered, his eyes were immediately captivated; the ring was simply too beautiful…
If this ring appeared in modern times, he wouldn't see anything wrong with it. After all, technology can solve many problems, and 3D printing can create unimaginable works of art, showcasing a sense of divine craftsmanship...
But the ring the burly man handed over resembled a divine dragon with its head and tail joined together, its head raised as if roaring. Even on such a small ring, the dragon scales were clearly visible…
Most importantly, the moment he saw the ring, he was deeply attracted to it, feeling an irresistible temptation within him, as if some force was controlling him, compelling him to take the ring…
"Senior, this..."
Li Zhu's eyes were fixed on the ring in the burly man's hand. He himself did not realize that a dark light flashed in his eyes, but the burly man sitting opposite him saw it clearly. However, he did not say anything, but only gave a faint smile.
"It's alright, take it..."
The burly man pushed the ring forward a little!
Li Zhu inexplicably took the ring in his hand, which made him momentarily dazed. He didn't even realize when the ring had appeared on his hand...
A wisp of black energy hovered over the ring for a moment before disappearing into Li Zhu's body. A feeling of blood connection emanated from the ring, as if it were an integral part of his own body...
"Senior, this..."
Li Zhu wanted to ask about the situation, but the burly man shook his head, causing Li Zhu to swallow his words.
"This is my daughter. You can call her Little Dragon Girl. I'm going on a long trip, so I'd like to ask Your Highness to take care of her for me. What do you say?"
Upon hearing the burly man's words, Li Zhu quickly and respectfully replied...
"Senior, you are too kind. It's just that I am currently surrounded by dangers, and staying by my side might be even more perilous..."
Li Zhu was telling the truth. He wasn't refusing the strong man; he was just explaining the situation to him so that he wouldn't be able to explain if the man's daughter got into trouble.
"Don't worry, my daughter may not have many other skills, but she's definitely capable of escaping if danger arises..."
The burly man's words reassured Li Zhu somewhat. After all, given the man's strength, his daughter should also know some martial arts. Moreover, the man had just given him a ring, so he couldn't refuse. After careful consideration, Li Zhu nodded and said...
"Don't worry, senior, as long as I live, I will not allow anyone to harm my daughter..."
"I'm reassured by your assurance, so I can leave with peace of mind..."
"Where are you going, senior?"
Hearing that the burly man was leaving, Li Zhu couldn't help but ask in confusion, wanting to know where the man was going so he could feel at ease!
"My plan is to first go to the Liao Kingdom to find a monk, and then go beyond the Great Wall to find a mentally unstable idiot..."
Just as Li Zhu was about to ask him more questions, the burly man had already disappeared, leaving only Xiaolongnu sitting there!
"Hello, your name is Little Dragon Girl, right?"
Li Zhu bent down and asked with a smile, trying his best to appear approachable so as not to frighten the child!
But for a long time, Little Dragon Girl ignored him, only giving him a disdainful look...
Li Zhu was completely bewildered. What did this mean? Was he being told to figure it out for himself?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Li Zhu couldn't help but ask!
"I don't want to talk to idiots..."
Little Dragon Girl replied with an icy expression, like an unyielding block of ice, making people hesitant to approach her...
Oh my god...
Li Zhu looked at Xiaolongnu with frustration, thinking to himself, "What the hell did I do to deserve this? How did I become an idiot?"
"How could I be so stupid?"
Li Zhu has too many bad reputations, and this reputation for being stupid cannot be confirmed no matter what!
"My dad already told you my name is Little Dragon Girl, and you're still asking me if my name is Little Dragon Girl? Aren't you stupid?"
Little Dragon Girl spoke with conviction, but her expression remained cold and emotionless throughout!
Li Zhu's face was extremely ugly. He had only wanted to coax the young girl because she was young, but now he was being looked down upon instead...
It seems that Little Dragon Girl is no ordinary child. Her mature thinking even makes Li Zhu wonder if she's some kind of childlike figure who has experienced rejuvenation through cultivation...
"Alright then, you'll be coming with me from now on..."
Li Zhu could only reply helplessly, not wanting to argue about whether someone was stupid or not!
