Free Web NovelChapter 1976: Chapter 1965: The Island
In front of the bustling street scene, Ao Cangsheng was not enough, but Long Jingxian seemed very curious.
They walked along the street, inquiring whether the Water King Mansion existed.
At the end of the street, Ao Kangsheng was attracted by a crowd on the roadside.
In the crowd, Ao Sheng saw a ragged little girl kneeling on the ground, begging from people.
Out of curiosity, Ao Cangsheng took Long Jingxian away.
When he walked to the side of the crowd, he discovered a body wrapped in a straw mat beside the little girl.
In front of the little girl, there was a wooden board with crooked paper on it, with a few ugly words saying to sell her mother’s corpse for burial.
Although the little girl was dressed in rags, her clothes were very clean.
She knelt on the ground, kowtowing from time to time to the surrounding onlookers, pleading, "Please help me bury my mother. I am willing to be your servant!"
The little girl bowed her head, begging in a weak voice.
But although there were many people around, apart from curiosity, no one gave her money to help bury her mother.
As a newcomer, Ao Cangsheng shouldn’t ask for too much. So initially, Ao Kangsheng just quietly observed her, hoping that a kind-hearted person would help the little girl before she had to leave.
"Getting your corpse out for burial needs to look good. Won’t you scare others like this at midnight?"
Some of the onlookers not only didn’t help but also pointed fingers.
"Yes! If you were prettier, I might consider helping you. But looking like this, it’s truly..."
Another person chimed in, full of disdain.
In fact, how ugly she was didn’t matter. What’s important is that this little girl was the one the old Li Family master was watching. If he didn’t speak, wouldn’t it be bad for the Li Family if others did something?
Some people frowned, seemingly hinting at something mysterious in their words.
The sarcastic remarks kept reaching Ao Kangsheng’s ears, and he frowned.
It is said that the world is warm and cold.
Ao Cangsheng chose to directly ignore these cold words.
Looking at the green Elemental Crystal in the bowl, the little girl’s eyes suddenly widened.
In her eyes, there was a color of surprise, then the surprise turned into deep gratitude.
"Thank you, big brother. From now on, I will be your servant!"
The little girl suddenly cried, choking and kowtowing to Ao Sheng.
"No! You don’t need to be a servant for me! After burying your mother, you can live with others!"
Ao Cangsheng reached out to stop the little girl’s gratitude, suddenly saying sadly.
"Live?"
The little girl silently mouthed the word, looking at Ao Cangsheng’s clear eyes. For a moment, she was lost.
Seeing Ao Sheng no longer kowtowing, Ao Sheng simply stood up straight, turned around with a face full of indifference, and pushed through the crowd to leave.
Behind him, the onlookers were still pointing. Only the little girl suddenly cried even more sadly.
"Tata"
Ao Cangsheng had just turned a few steps away when there suddenly came the sound of hooves behind him.
"Make way, Master Li is here!"
The previously bustling crowd suddenly spread out like a pan at the sight of the Royal youth on horseback.
"Little rascal, you’re here, but you really made me look for you!"
The Prince hurriedly dismounted, angrily rushing at the little girl.
Before the little girl could react, a young Royal Guard had already lifted his foot and kicked the little girl directly to the ground.
The little girl rolled twice before she stabilized herself.
But even though she felt so humiliated, the little girl’s eyes were full of deep fear, not anger.
After kicking the little girl, the young Royal Guard was still furious.
He was about to lash out at the little girl’s body, but at a glance, he noticed the grass mat beside him.
"Don’t bully my mother. She’s already dead. Please don’t bully her!"
Seeing the change in his gaze towards the little girl, the young Royal Guard’s expression turned.
Despite being cuffed by the young Royal Guard for a while, she suddenly fell to the mat requesting help.
"Haha, I’ll tell you why you’re here, little rascal." So you’re here to sell a corpse and bury your mother. How cute!"
The young Royal Guard laughed coldly, his mouth moving, but his face full of a cruel expression.
"Since I didn’t feed her to the dogs, I’ve been merciful. How dare you bury her without telling me?"
The Prince’s face suddenly changed, and he shouted at the little girl.
As he spoke, the young Royal Guard kicked out, not only kicking the little girl away but the woman’s body wrapped in the straw mat as well, throwing it onto the street.
"Little rascal, since you don’t want to lose face, don’t blame me for turning ruthless!"
"Don’t you want to bury your mother? Today, I will stand here, and you can see your mother’s death, little rascal!"
The young Royal Guard sneered coldly, "Six of you, go get two dogs!"
Upon hearing this, one of the young men following behind quickly answered and left.
"Little rascal, you think selling yourself to bury your mother isn’t laughable?"
The young Royal Guard kicked the wooden board to the side, looking at the little girl with ridicule.
But before the sound could fall, the royal youth saw the Elemental Crystal in the bowl.
At this moment, the crystal’s brightness stunned the young Royal Guard.
After a while, the Royal youth suddenly jumped beside the little girl, grabbed her collar, and said, "Hey, who gave you this Round Crystal?"
The little girl’s tears fell like rain, and her clear eyes looked at the young Royal Guard with fear, but she remained silent.
"I’m asking you, who gave you this Elemental Crystal?"
Seeing the little girl silent, the young Royal Guard raised his hand to slap her.
The young Royal Guard was very ruthless. After a slap, the girl’s right cheek swelled up.
The little girl still remained silent, but her weak body began to tremble violently.
"Do I speak nonsense?"
The young Royal Guard was very angry. As he raised his left hand, he intended to slap her again.
However, this time, the royal youth’s hand didn’t strike the little girl.
Because, at the same time, a strong hand firmly grasped his arm.
"I gave her the Round Crystal. If you need anything, please don’t humiliate her anymore!"
The Prince’s arm just tightened when a voice came from behind him.
The young Royal Guard was shocked upon hearing this, then viciously turned to him.
Initially, the young Royal Guard was very upset. Seeing the handsome Ao Kangsheng behind him made his annoyance even more intense.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere in our affairs?"
The young Royal Guard glared furiously at Ao Kangsheng, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Who are you, little rascal? How dare you stand up for someone else? Roll over there and die!"
Hearing this, the young Royal Guard became furious. As he raised his foot again to kick the little girl down.
But before he could lift his foot, there was a burst of sharp pain in his arm.
"Ah—"
In a moment, the young Royal Guard suddenly jumped up, screaming, his brows furrowed into the character "straight."
"Not much of a man. You’re still bullying a little girl like this?"
Ao Cangsheng suddenly said coldly, his eyes chilling over.
Ao Kangsheng’s action immediately frightened the young Royal Guard.
The royal youth suddenly shouted angrily, "Someone come, kill him for me. I want this guy dead now, now!"
The young Royal Guard’s anger struck fear into those behind him.
