Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Feng Qing'er frowned in confusion.

Household items? Who sells this kind of stuff in Blackhorn? Wouldn't they lose a lot of money?

"I don't know." Feng Qing'er crossed her arms and said calmly, "As far as I know, there shouldn't be any idiot who would open a store like this in the Black Horn Region, unless that person is going to go bankrupt."

Knew it.

Xiao Yan shrugged helplessly.

He was not surprised by Feng Qing'er's answer.

Originally, he was thinking that if Feng Qing'er knew where there was a store selling household items, he would ask her to take him there, thus repaying the favor and saving himself a lot of money at the same time.

It seems that the household items have to be bought at the auction house, and I have to think of another way to ask Feng Qing'er to repay the favor.

Xiao Yan frowned and thought, he couldn't just ask Feng Qing'er for money or things directly, right?

Although Feng Qing'er would most likely give it to him judging by her attitude, Xiao Yan himself was too embarrassed to ask.

In Xiao Yan's mind, whether it was yesterday or today, he was essentially the one who caused trouble for Feng Qing'er first, and his original purpose was only to remedy his mistakes.

Although he did help Feng Qing'er a lot in the end, Xiao Yan always felt uncomfortable when he was asked for money or things directly, as if he was receiving something for nothing.

"Oh! That's right! There is something that I need Miss Feng's help with." Xiao Yan suddenly pounded his hands, his face suddenly cleared, and he looked at Feng Qing'er, "Miss Feng, are you free in the next few days?"

Xiao Yan's question made Feng Qing'er slightly stunned, and then she nodded.

"Yes, I am free until the end of the month."

Feng Qing'er came here to attend the Black Seal City Auction. She realized this morning that she had come too early. However, it would be too troublesome to go back now that she was already here, so she simply decided to stay in Black Seal City until the auction began.

Hearing Feng Qing'er's answer, Xiao Yan showed a pleased expression and said with a smile.

"In that case, can Miss Feng come and help me take care of the child?"

"Take care of the child?"

Feng Qing'er was suddenly stunned, her eyebrows twitching slightly, her eyes full of strange colors, and she looked Xiao Yan up and down.

"You have a kid?"

(Yes, it just hasn't been born yet.)

The medicine in the ring sank into my heart and spoke silently.

Xiao Yan just waved his hand and explained.

"Miss Feng, you misunderstood. For my own reasons, I plan to take in those homeless children in the Black Horn Region, but now there are only me and my friend. I am worried that I won't be able to take care of them. If Miss Feng is willing, I hope you can come and help. I will cover the cost of food and accommodation."

"Of course, I won't force you to stay. You can leave at any time. It's all up to you."

Although there are only two children, Lu Qiong and Lu Jing, in the house now, there will definitely be more and more children in the future. With only him and Xiao Yixian, they may not be able to handle the situation when there are so many children.

However, it is not realistic to find someone from the Black Horn Region. Given that there are evil people everywhere in the Black Horn Region, it is very difficult to recruit a suitable person.

And Feng Qing'er in front of him just meets Xiao Yan's needs.

It’s not that Feng Qing’er’s personality is suitable for raising children, but at least during the short time Xiao Yan spent with her, he realized that this girl was not the kind of person who would act recklessly on a whim. She had a clear distinction between love and hate and was a very principled person.

Well. Although it can be seen from what happened in the alley just now that Feng Qing'er's attitude towards children may not be very friendly, but combined with the boy's attitude at the time, Feng Qing'er's behavior is not incomprehensible.

After Feng Qing'er heard what Xiao Yan said, the expression on her face froze instantly.

After a long time, he slowly uttered a sentence.

"Why do you want to take in those homeless children? Is there any benefit for you?"

Feng Qing'er couldn't understand why Xiao Yan would do such a useless thing.

"Of course it is good for me." Xiao Yan held one hand in front of his chest and said seriously: "Doing this will make me more clear about what path I want to take."

Looking at Xiao Yan's black eyes that showed satisfaction and seriousness, Feng Qing'er was slightly startled.

Although she still couldn't understand why Xiao Yan did this, she also didn't know what path Xiao Yan was going to take.

But she could clearly feel Xiao Yan's eyes.

That is resolute, moving forward towards one's ideal, without even a trace of retreat in the eyes.

For some reason, Feng Qing'er suddenly wanted to know what path Xiao Yan was going to take, and what kind of path could make him so single-minded.

"Okay, I'll take it." Feng Qing'er put one hand on her waist and said in a serious voice, "I will help you take care of the child until the end of the month."

Feng Qing'er originally wanted to say something like that the favor she owed Xiao Yan was canceled.

But in the end, Feng Qing'er still didn't say this.

Forget about the favor of helping me find the ring today. The worst outcome of what happened to me yesterday was being sold as a slave. And now I am just helping Xiao Yan take care of the child for a month. It is not equal at all. If this can be written off, Feng Qing'er will get a great advantage.

Unfortunately, what Feng Qing'er hates most is taking advantage of others.

She hated it to the extreme, whether it was others taking advantage of her or she taking advantage of others.

"Thank you Miss Feng for agreeing!"

Hearing Feng Qing'er agree, Xiao Yan was very happy.

"Then let's go to the auction house and buy what we need, and then I'll take you to the house I rented."

Immediately, Xiao Yan took Feng Qing'er to the auction house and began to purchase household items needed for the house.

The cost was just as Xiao Yan had expected, shockingly expensive. Something that could have been bought with five or six hundred gold coins in Wutan City ended up costing thirty thousand.

This is too expensive, right?

Xiao Yan looked at the bill in his hand, feeling like crying but unable to cry.

But what can be done? Apart from the auction house, there is probably no place in the entire Black Horn region that sells household items. This kind of thing is basically monopolized by the auction house. Moreover, the prices in the Black Horn region are expensive. The multiplication of these two factors causes the cost to rise rapidly.

Fortunately, he only bought it this time, which made Xiao Yan feel a little better.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er left the auction house and found a store on the side of the road and bought a lot of rice, vegetables, meat and the like. After all, they wouldn't go bad if they were kept in the ring, so it was always good to stock up some.

And these things made Xiao Yan spend another 30,000 yuan.

I spent 60,000 yuan just to buy some daily necessities, rice and vegetables. This consumption level is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

If I had known this, I would have bought all these things before leaving the Gama Empire, and I probably wouldn't have spent even 5,000 gold coins.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and immediately threw the idea away.

Forget it, there's no point thinking about these things now. What's more, I don't have the ability to predict the future. I didn't know I would need these things before I came here, so it's useless to think about them.

After relaxing a bit, Xiao Yan turned around and said to Feng Qing'er with a smile.

"Miss Feng, we have bought everything, let's go back to the house."

Then Feng Qing'er followed Xiao Yan towards the south of Heiyin City. As the two went deeper and deeper into the northern corner of the south city, the people around them became increasingly sparse, and the temperature became increasingly colder due to the lack of sunlight, which made Feng Qing'er feel a chill in her heart.

To be honest, if Feng Qing'er didn't think Xiao Yan was not that kind of person, she would really suspect whether he brought her here to do something wrong.

The two walked for another ten minutes and finally reached the deepest corner. The house that Xiao Yan rented also came into their sight.

"We're here. That's the house I rented."

Xiao Yan pointed at the house and said to Feng Qing'er. Feng Qing'er raised her eyebrows slightly and then looked around.

The house is not bad.

But this location is too remote, right?! Even the sun can’t shine in! ! !

If Feng Qing'er hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that this was the place where Black Seal City, the most prosperous city in the Black Horn Region, could appear!

Feng Qing'er frowned, and couldn't help but whisper to Xiao Yan.

"Can't you find a house in a better location?"

"Uh..." Hearing Feng Qing'er's question, Xiao Yan scratched his face awkwardly, "Sorry, I can only afford to rent this place with the funds I have."

"."

Feng Qing'er was speechless and couldn't help covering her face.

The word "poor" is really the most convincing excuse, and there are no words that can refute it.

"Well, if you don't want to, forget it."

Xiao Yan felt a little embarrassed. Feng Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Yan and responded.

"No need to say more, I, Feng Qing'er, always keep my word." Feng Qing'er looked towards the house, "Let alone here, even if it was a desolate mountain, I would stay until the end of the month. In comparison, this place is already pretty good."

"Ha, thank you."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly and brought Feng Qing'er to the front door of the house. After pushing the door open, he saw that the living room was empty. He raised his head slightly and shouted loudly.

"Little Doctor Fairy~ I'm back~"

Little doctor fairy?

Hearing the name, Feng Qing'er raised her eyebrows slightly.

Looks like a girl?

A moment after Xiao Yan finished speaking, footsteps were heard from the stairs, and Little Medical Fairy led Lu Qiong and Lu Jing down from upstairs.

"Xiao Yan, we just cleaned up the house, you..."

Before Little Medical Fairy could finish her words, she suddenly stopped and looked at Feng Qing'er behind Xiao Yan in astonishment.

Suddenly, I felt uneasy in my heart and my brows twitched suddenly.

Then Xiao Yixian's face returned to normal and she asked Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, who is that?"

"This is Miss Feng Qing'er. She will be here to help for the next month." Xiao Yan said, then looked at Feng Qing'er and introduced her, "This is Xiao Yixian, my friend."

"Oh."

Feng Qing'er responded, staring intently at the Little Medical Fairy.

And the Little Medical Fairy’s eyes were also fixed on Feng Qing’er.

For a moment, the living room was silent, but a different atmosphere slowly rose.

Chapter 305: Little Doctor Knows Too Much

Two pairs of green eyes looked at each other, and Feng Qing'er finally remembered the name of Little Medical Fairy.

Isn’t this the name that popped up when Xiao Yan compared himself to himself in the hot spring yesterday?

Feng Qing'er lowered her head slightly and looked at Little Medical Fairy's chest, her expression somewhat dazed.

Ah. It’s true that I’m older.

Feng Qing'er nodded instinctively, then slightly straightened her chest.

Although she didn't know why she should do this, she felt in her heart that she should do it.

Little Medical Fairy looked at Feng Qing'er's action of straightening her chest in confusion, not understanding what her action meant.

However, although Xiao Yixiang didn't understand, she instinctively felt unhappy in her heart.

It seems that I have been deeply despised in some very important aspects.

After a long time, the little medical fairy's expression relaxed. She walked up to Feng Qing'er with a smile and extended her hand to her.

"Hello, I am Xiao Yixian, please give me your guidance."

"Feng Qing'er."

Feng Qing'er responded indifferently, stretched out her hand and lightly touched Little Medical Fairy's hand before taking it away and continuing.

"I came here to help just to repay Xiao Yan's favor, that's all."

Return the favor?

There was a hint of doubt in Little Medical Fairy's eyes, and she suddenly glanced at the innocent-looking Xiao Yan, with an imperceptible resentment in her eyes.

But just after going out, a girl owed you a favor, and she was even willing to come here to help for a month. What on earth did you do?

Xiao Yixian suddenly felt a headache.

It would be fine if it was a man, but it was a woman.

Based on Xiao Yixiang's personal experience, she was certain that this was definitely not a good sign.
