Chapter 220 My name is Qian Ling'er!
"Thank you, young master."
The old woman put away her gold soul coins and thanked him, then looked up at the two people in front of her, momentarily stunned for a few seconds.
A perfect couple, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
Jiang Nian looked at the girl beside him, who was still holding a steaming bun, looking adorable and innocent, her eyes bright as stars.
"Jiang... thank you for paying for me, young master, you are such a good person."
"..."
Jiang Nian didn't say anything and turned to leave. Seeing this, she followed, still biting the bun, her eyes fixed on his back.
After a moment, Jiang Nian stopped, a soft, delicate body bumping into him from behind, accompanied by a yelp.
"Hmm? Why are you following me?"
Jiang Nian turned his head, feigning confusion, looking at the girl who resembled Qian Renxue by five or six points, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
She really did transform into human form. If Di Tian found out, he would probably be furious.
"I...I'm broke right now, so I'd like to ask you for a meal, young master."
"Oh? So you're just going to mooch off me?"
"Yes!"
The girl nodded, a smile on her face.
Jiang Nian couldn't help but think how shameless this girl was, mooching off others with such pride?
"By the way, what's your name?"
The girl rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and then opened her rosy lips.
"Qian Ling'er!"
"And you?"
Jiang Nian stared at her for a few seconds, then said calmly, "Jiang Nian."
Qian Ling'er smiled, moved closer to him, and whispered, "Hey Jiang Nian, I'm going to tell you a secret later, it'll definitely surprise you!"
"Coincidentally, I also have a secret to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I won't tell."
Qian Ling'er was taken aback, puffed out her cheeks, and glared at him with displeasure.
This guy, always like this.
The girl looked down at Jiang Nian's shoes, pouted, and stepped on them.
"What?"
"Guess."
"..."
A few minutes later, a man with bright red hair entered the city, sniffing the air and rushing off.
"Little ancestor, you really know how to cause me trouble."
The Crimson King sighed helplessly, increasing his speed even more.
Not long after.
In an alley, Jiang Nian looked at the bright red-haired man in front of him, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.
His aura was very strong.
Qian Ling'er shrank back, hiding behind Jiang Nian and peeking out her small head.
"He's a bad guy."
The Crimson King: "?"
The two men exchanged glances with different expressions, and the Crimson King felt a pang of heartache, his eyelashes trembling.
"My little darling, just come back with me."
"If you leave, he definitely won't let me go."
Qian Ling'er glanced at Jiang Nian's expression, then shook her head: "No!"
"Go back by yourself, don't bother me!"
The Crimson King noticed her fierce gaze and couldn't help but shudder.
What to do?
Should he forcibly take her back, or go back and report to Di Tian first?
He couldn't afford to offend either of them!
Seeing this, Jiang Nian decided not to pretend anymore.
"Auspicious Beast, you should go back. The human world is not suitable for you."
"I still have some things to do, it will be inconvenient if you come with me..."
Qian Ling'er was stunned for a moment, took a step back, and looked at him in astonishment.
"You...you know everything?"
Of course!
"Only a fool wouldn't see that!"
"Jiang Nian, I won't waste money following you."
"I can eat very little..."
Qian Ling'er murmured softly, head bowed.
Jiang Nian glanced back a few times, a little helpless.
"I'm not kicking you out, but... what if your family doesn't agree?"
"They won't!"
Qian Ling'er shook her head, her gaze suddenly turning icy as she looked at the Crimson King.
"Can I go with him?"
The Crimson King: "..."
Jiang Nian: "You can blink if you feel threatened."
Qian Ling'er kicked his heel in annoyance.
After the clash of wits, the Crimson King completely deflated.
"Yes... be careful..."
With that, the Crimson King disappeared from their sight.
Qian Ling'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes shining brightly again.
"See, I can go wherever I want."
Jiang Nian felt a mix of emotions seeing her adorable, silly expression.
Turning this guy into a god meant he understood the cause and effect of that past.
She can follow him if she wants.
"Alright, then you'd better listen to me. The human world isn't as safe as you think."
"Okay!"
"Come on, call me 'brother' first."
"Hmm?"
Qian Ling'er looked at Jiang Nian suspiciously. Was this really a safe measure?
"Brother...brother?"
"Hmm~ You're teachable."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm just praising you for being smart."
Qian Ling'er narrowed her eyes, and a smile curved her lips: "That's right! This young lady is the smartest!"
Jiang Nian nodded without batting an eye, dismissing the mere soul beast as easy to handle.
"Squeak?"
The sleeping Little White peeked out of Jiang Nian's pocket, its head lolling out. It glanced at the girl who resembled its mistress, sniffed, and its pupils dilated instantly.
Its body trembled involuntarily, and it quickly withdrew its head.
Jiang Nian thought to himself that this guy was such a coward. It wasn't like the girl was going to eat him, a mere rat.
He was really embarrassing himself! ...
The Crimson King, rushing back to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, saw the black-clad man with a somewhat gloomy expression, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Red King? Where's the Auspicious Beast?!"
"I..." Red King instantly choked, held tightly by Di Tian's single hand, barely able to resist.
"Cough cough... The... the Auspicious Beast went to the human world..."
The expressions of the other ferocious beasts changed drastically, their gazes towards Red King turning hostile.
"How did she get out?!"
"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll break your legs!"
Di Tian stared at him fiercely, the surrounding trees snapping in the wind with an invisible force, his aura overwhelming.
"Cough cough..." After being thrown down, the Crimson King said with a bitter expression, "She wanted to go out herself... I've already caught up with her, but the Auspicious Beast won't come back with me, saying she wants to play around in the human world first..."
"Nonsense! You actually didn't force her to come back! If anything happens to the Auspicious Beast, I will skin you alive!"
The Crimson King lowered his head and continued to speak tremblingly, "It's not that I don't want to bring her back, but the human the Auspicious Beast found is probably no weaker than you..."
"Moreover, I don't think he has any ill intentions towards the Auspicious Beast..."
Di Tian frowned slightly, suddenly feeling a headache coming on.
Seeing this, Bi Ji stepped forward to treat the Crimson King first, and then patiently inquired about the details.
After a short while, she nodded, her eyes filled with surprise.
"At eighteen, he's already a Title Douluo, and his combat power far surpasses that of the Crimson King... Humans truly are the darlings of the gods..."
"Are you sure he doesn't have any other intentions towards the auspicious beast?"
The Crimson King hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I think he's a good person."
