Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

"Baozi, hot baozi! Freshly baked baozi!"

There happened to be a steamed bun shop not far outside the alley.

When the little beggar smelled the fragrance wafting in the cold wind, his whole body seemed to have strength. He put down his hands that were supporting the wall and walked towards the bun shop step by step.

Walking to the bun shop, she said weakly, "Give me five meat buns."

The boss was a big, burly man. When he saw a little beggar coming to his shop and asking for buns, he immediately showed disdain on his face and waved his hand: "Go away, go beg over there."

The little beggar didn't say anything, but slammed the middle-grade spirit stone in his hand onto the table of the bun shop.

The boss, who was about to step forward to chase the people away, suddenly lit up his eyes when he saw this mid-grade spirit stone.

He reached out and took the spirit stone in his hand. After examining it, he confirmed that it was indeed a mid-grade spirit stone.

"Sir, you want five meat buns, right?"

The boss's originally disgusted expression suddenly became kind. He turned around and started packing buns. Soon he handed a bag of buns to the little beggar and asked:

"Excuse me, would you like to order anything else? Our preserved vegetable buns are our signature dish, and we also have snowflake crisps..."

The little beggar was obviously not interested. After taking the bag of buns, he interrupted the boss and said, "Give me the change."

The boss smiled awkwardly and tried to argue: "Sir, you..."

"Change!" the little beggar said again, his tone even colder than last time.

The boss then stopped talking and turned around to give her change.

When he was looking for the money, the little beggar suddenly said, "I bought this for an important person. If you dare to pay less, you will have to think about the consequences."

The boss couldn't help but tremble when he heard this.

He did have the idea of ​​finding some money to give the little beggar away.

The boss had run a shop on this street for a long time and had some impression of the little beggar who often slept in the alley next to him. He thought that the little beggar had found a mid-grade spirit stone by chance, so he thought of secretly withholding most of it and just giving him some spirit stones to get rid of him.

But now after hearing what the little beggar said, he couldn't help but hesitate again.

He didn't believe that the little beggar was really buying buns for some important person. After all, which important person would go out without a few servants following him? No matter how shabby he was, he wouldn't be so poor as to hire a dirty and smelly little beggar to buy buns, right?

But nothing is absolute. What if there really is some eccentric big shot doing something unusual?

You know, not long ago he saw a prodigal young man giving spirit stones to beggars.

Thinking of this, the boss suddenly came to his senses.

Soon, he handed a bag full of low-grade spirit stones to the little beggar, with a kind smile on his face: "Sir, this is your change, please count it."

"I'm sorry you don't dare either."

The little beggar snatched the purse and quickly left the bun shop.

She returned to the alley and quickly finished all five steaming hot meat buns, which were bigger than her palm, one at a time.

"belch……"

The little beggar burped and felt warm all over after eating, no longer feeling cold.

She sat down against the wall, hugged her knees with her hands and rested her head on them. From her current perspective, she could just see the entrance of the inn across the street.

She is waiting for someone.

But perhaps because he was too full, the little beggar's eyelids began to twitch unconsciously as he waited, and he fell asleep unknowingly.

Until it gets late and night falls.

The sound of conversation woke the little beggar from his sleep.

"Are you sure that person lives in the inn across the street?"

"OK! OK!"

"I saw it with my own eyes. The man carried a little beggar into the inn across the street."

"Did he leave the inn?"

"This……"

"Hmph, trash!"

The little beggar opened her eyes hazily and saw several figures standing outside the alley. Although they had their backs to her, under the light of the street lights, the little beggar still recognized those people in tattered robes. They were the beggars who usually wandered the nearby streets.

In addition to those beggars, there was also a tall figure.

Chapter 299 Peeping

The little beggar's waking up did not attract the attention of the people outside the alley, and their conversation continued.

"You guys keep an eye on this. If that person leaves the inn, come to the old place and tell me immediately."

"Yes, yes, the villain knows."

"If you lose me, you know the consequences."

After saying this, the tall figure disappeared into the night.

When the beggars saw him leave, they began to sigh:

"What kind of thing is this! We finally met a rich and stupid young man, but the spirit stones we just got were snatched away by that rude guy Yan Wang before we even had time to warm them up! We still have to stand here in the cold to help him watch over people. This is really too much!"

The first to speak was a sturdy young man who, if not for his tattered and dirty clothes, would not have looked like a beggar.

As soon as he said this, a boy who was much smaller than his peers immediately said, "Shut up, idiot! If you hadn't been shouting with such a loud voice, as if you were afraid that others didn't know that you had a few middle-grade spirit stones in your pocket, we wouldn't have been targeted by the King of Hell!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean, Old Ren? Is this all my fault? If Erlangzi hadn't brought the King of Hell to the ruined temple where we were hiding, how could we have been caught by the King of Hell?"

Upon hearing this, Shadan's eyes widened and his voice subconsciously became louder. He glared at Lao Ren with dissatisfaction, but the topic shifted to a silly-looking boy with a snotty nose next to him.

Erlangzi couldn't help himself this time: "What are you talking about? What kind of words are you talking about? If you hadn't seen the King of Hell and ran away without telling me, would I have been caught by the King of Hell?"

Shadan's face flushed red. "If you get caught alone, won't you lose the three middle-grade spirit stones? At most, we can share our spirit stones with you. Why did you have to bring the King of Hell to find us, causing all the spirit stones we just got to go down the drain?"

The fool sneered, "You idiot, do you really think I'm stupid? I've known you for a few years, but I still don't know what kind of people you are? If I really believed your lies, I'm afraid the grass on my grave would be three meters high!"

"Then why are you arguing with me? Go scold Lao Ren! He was the one who said not to call you!"

Shadan was a little embarrassed after his true colors were exposed by him, so he quickly involved Lao Ren who was watching the show nearby.

Old Ren was stunned at first, then his face turned red with anger: "Okay, idiot! You're bringing trouble upon me, right? You idiot, don't believe his lies. I've always been so good to you, how could I abandon you and run away?"

"If it wasn't you who said it, then it was me who said it?" Shadan was also angry.

The voices of several people were getting louder and louder, from the initial complaints to the current quarrels, everyone's faces were red and their necks were thick, some people even started to roll up their sleeves, with a faint tendency to fight.

"Shut up, everyone!"

At this moment, the last of the four who had been silent suddenly shouted coldly, interrupting their quarrel.

This person obviously had extremely high prestige among the four. As soon as he opened his mouth, the three people who were arguing fiercely suddenly quieted down.

"It's just a few spirit stones, isn't it? If they're taken away, it's taken away. Even if you make a scene here, the spirit stones won't return to you!"

Different from the other three ugly little beggars, this little beggar, although thin and neither tall nor short, has a very calm expression, and his dark eyes hold a viciousness that does not belong to his peers.

He is the leader of this four-member gang. Relying on his flexible mind and ruthless means, he is a well-known figure even among the beggars in this city, and is nicknamed "Little Pockmarked Man".

When Xiao Mazi saw that the three men had finally quieted down, he began to walk up to them one by one. At this time, even the big and strong Shadan didn't dare to look at them. All three of them lowered their heads and looked honest.

He nodded secretly, and then continued: "It's our bad luck to fall into the hands of the King of Hell this time, but don't take it to heart. He won't be so proud for long."

Hearing this, the three people who knew the boss's character were all shocked. The most talkative idiot didn't care about the boss's dignity and asked immediately:

"Boss, are you telling the truth?"

Xiao Mazi smiled calmly: "Have I ever lied to you?"

The three of them shook their heads: "No, no."

Xiao Mazi suddenly looked at Lao Ren: "Lao Ren?"

Lao Ren's figure trembled: "Here!"

"Go to the palace and find Butler Sun."

Erlangzi looked puzzled: "Boss, why did you ask Lao Ren to go find Butler Sun?"

Even Shadan was confused by this, only Lao Ren seemed to be thinking about it and vaguely knew what the boss was planning.

Xiao Mazi ignored him and told Lao Ren, "Tell Steward Sun everything that happened today. Don't exaggerate. Just tell it truthfully."

Lao Ren nodded solemnly: "I know the limits."

He left immediately.

Xiao Mazi watched his thin figure disappear at the end of the street corner, then looked at Shadan and Erlangzi: "You two stay here with me tonight. According to the old rules, each of you will stand guard for two hours, and the other two will rest. Once you see that person walk out of the inn, wake up the sleeping one immediately."

The fool and the fool said in unison: "Yes, Boss!"

"Silly boy, you are the first one to stand guard."

After Xiao Mazi finished speaking, he walked into the alley.

Although the alley is drafty and extremely cold, if you gather the sundries inside together, it can help to keep out the cold wind to a certain extent, and it is enough to get by for one night.

Seeing this, Erlangzi quickly followed, leaving Shadan alone huddled outside the alley, staring at the entrance of the inn.

Before Xiao Mazi and Erlangzi walked into the alley, the little beggar hiding inside had already run out from the exit on the other side of the alley.

"Huh? This is..."

The little pockmarked boy walked to the depth of the alley, looked at the messy footprints on the snow, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

"Boss?"

The fool who had caught up with them saw the boss suddenly stop and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, just move the things over here."

Xiao Mazi shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

And on the other side.

The little beggar ran to the end of another street in one breath, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was following him.

From the conversation between those people just now, the little beggar has understood the whole story.

Today, the young man in white who saved her not only helped her, but also gave three medium-grade spirit stones each to Xiao Mazi and the other three. However, because Shadan was showing off everywhere, they were heard by the famous gangster "Yanwang" in the city. Yanwang not only snatched the spirit stones from them, but also set his sights on the young man in white.

"How to do?"

The little beggar squatted on the street corner, hugging his knees with his hands.

What should she do?

Pretend that you didn't hear their conversation and live a comfortable life for a few months with the spirit stones given to you by the young man in white?

Or should he take the risk and tip off the young man in white, telling him that someone is eyeing his wealth?

The little beggar looked hesitant and struggling.

Chapter 300 Tip-off

"Whoosh..."

Under the cover of night, a figure was running wildly in the snow.

The little beggar couldn't just stand by and watch the unsuspecting young man in white being cheated, so he decided to take the risk and warn him.

Although she knew that once Xiao Mazi and others knew about this, she would lose her foothold in Manxue City, but so what? If that time really came, the worst that could happen was that she would leave Manxue City and find another place to stay.

The inn where the young man in white stayed had only one main entrance for customers to enter and exit, so Xiao Mazi and his men were guarding the alley opposite the inn, where they could spot the faces of people entering and leaving the inn at the first sight.

It was precisely because they were watching there that the little beggar could not swagger in through the main gate. That would be too risky and would likely alert the enemy, causing the vigilance of Xiao Mazi and others.

So she decided to go around to another street behind the inn, where there was an alley connected to the back door of the inn, which was usually used for the inn to bring goods in and out.

"Dong dong dong..."

After a frantic run, the little beggar came to the back door of the inn and knocked on the closed door while panting.

No response.
