ACER-Chapter 41: The Pitiful Youth

This time, Di Yange didn’t encounter any danger.

Mainly because after those guards learned that the beasties had all run away, they all went to chase after them.

As she walked, she heard crying from the other side of the wall.

Seeing that she couldn’t find the door, she decided to dig a hole again. Sure enough, this kind of wall made of stone blocks was much easier to dig through than the previous door.

Scritch, scritch, after just a few strokes, she dug out a small gap.

Then she looked at her little claws and started doubting her beast life. She suspected that she might be some kind of mouse species, otherwise how could she be so good at digging holes?

This was too miserable, no wonder she made zhi zhi sounds. She had actually turned into the thing she was scared of the most.

With that thought, she wanted to go home even more.

So the speed of digging also became faster.

Before long, she had dug the hole through, and she was also choked by the smell inside.

The inside couldn’t be described by the words dirty, messy, and poor alone, the ground was even sticky and pitch-black. Di Yange didn’t know where the strength came from, but she jumped up directly.

Both paws immediately grabbed onto something beside her.

“You were also captured by them? But it seems you came to the wrong place. This isn’t where you should’ve come.”

Di Yange heard a lifeless voice, she raised her fluffy little head and looked at the person speaking.

Goodness. As expected of her, her luck was just this good. She actually met the villain this quickly.

That platinum blond hair, and that face was only one point less compared to hers, there’s absolutely no mistake.

He was villain number two, Long Yanche.

No, at this point in time, that wasn’t yet his name. Right now, he’s called Shitball.

After his mother had a child with a dragon, that dragon disappeared. At the time, his mother was also a wealthy person. In order to give birth to the child smoothly and avoid being pointed at by others, she took in a nominal live-in son-in-law.

She only wanted the name, while that live-in son-in-law would get ten taels of silver every month, and she wouldn’t interfere with anything he did.

Who knew that the live-in son-in-law became greedy.

In the end, when his mother was giving birth, that man deliberately didn’t invite a midwife, and in the end she died in labor.

After she died, the man was probably afraid, so he left the child alive and kept calling him Shitball, Shitball.

Later, the man married his childhood sweetheart, spent his days indulging in pleasure, was addicted to gambling, and in the end even owed an enormous debt.

In order to gamble one more time, he could only sell Shitball.

Clearly, this was another tragic villain. And right now he still hadn’t activated his dragon clan bloodline, so he was also a waste, probably not even as good as the injured her.

Di Yange saw that he was wearing a red gauze garment, that gauze garment was very thin and sheer, it’s hard to even look at it directly. What she’s grabbing right now was his hair.

This hair was strangely soft and smooth with a fragrant scent.

Immediately after, Long Yanche pulled her down from his hair.

“Little thing, you should hurry and leave.”

After putting Di Yange at the entrance of that hole, Long Yanche looked at the wall, his eyes full of resolve.

Then, using all the strength in his body, he rammed his head into the wall.

“Zhi!!!”

Di Yange jumped up excitedly and threw herself in front of Long Yanche’s forehead, knocking her so dizzy that even her soul nearly flew out.

Sure enough, as expected of a villain. If she stayed by his side, sooner or later she would be killed by him.

Long Yanche felt something soft against his forehead. When he opened his eyes, he saw Di Yange, who had already been knocked unconscious.

“Little thing, why did you save me?”

Holding the palm-sized little furball, Long Yanche’s beautiful eyes were full of emotion.

Since he was little, because of the color of his hair, everyone around him, including his parents, had always been very unfriendly to him.

But now, he also had someone protecting him. Although she’s only a tiny beast who also needed to be protected.

If he could survive, he would definitely protect her.

The Long Yanche at the time definitely was a youth who spoke little, was kind, and pure. Even though he had been injured all over, he had never resented others.

Even when his father sold him, he had never blamed him.

Then looking at him now with that explosive temper that could be ignited with the slightest touch, he’s not even remotely the same as before.

Long Yanche looked at the dying little beast with heartache and thought of a gray fox-faced dog that the neighbor had once kept.

“You should be a fox-faced dog, right? From now on I’ll call you Xiao Li.”

“Xiao Li, let’s die together.”

“Actually, I also don’t want to die. Even if there are so many people in this world who dislike me, at least you still care about me. But I don’t want to be sold as a slave. I heard that people who become slaves end up with a fate worse than death. Only by dying will I not have to become a slave.”

Hearing Long Yanche’s words, Di Yange became excited again.

At that moment, the girl locked up next to Long Yanche suddenly started crying loudly.

“Wuwu, I also don’t want to be sold. You’re right, rather than being sold, it would be better to die right now.”

The girl had quite a delicate and cute appearance, especially when she cried like this, which made her look even more pitiful.

She looked like she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but there was also a ring around her neck, just like those beasts.

The crying that had drawn Di Yange over before should’ve been hers.

Just as Di Yange had recovered a little, she saw that the girl next door was also slamming her head into the wall, so she rushed over anxiously.

The girl cried out and discovered that she had hit something soft.

“Xiao Li!”

Long Yanche cried out in alarm, his voice full of worry.

He hadn’t even clearly seen when Di Yange had rushed over.

Holding Di Yange, who was dizzy again, the girl cried, “Wuwu, I also don’t want to die. I’m sorry.”

Those tears directly made the fur on Di Yange’s body wet.

Di Yange immediately stretched one claw toward the girl’s neck.

The girl cried out in alarm and instinctively stepped back.

With a boom, the wall behind her was actually knocked down by her.

She touched her own neck.

The Spirit Suppression Ring that had suppressed her cultivation was gone.

Seeing that the girl’s Spirit Suppression Ring was gone, several cultivators who had already looked dead inside suddenly had light in their eyes.

“C-can you help us?”

The girl rushed over and wanted to help them undo theirs too, but unexpectedly, although she was at peak Foundation Establishment, she had no way of dealing with those rings.

“Zhi!”

Di Yange rushed over and removed those people’s rings.

Then the group planned to run away.

In the end, they unanimously decided that they could only take Di Yange with them.

As for Long Yanche and those few burdens who only had faces worth looking at, they clearly didn’t want to take them along.

How could Di Yange be willing to leave Long Yanche? So she darted into Long Yanche’s clothes.

A cute little head popped out between the collar, both of her little paws gripped onto the collar tightly.

Long Yanche felt the soft little thing and smiled as he rubbed her head.

“Little thing, let’s stay together forever then.”

After hesitating, the girl also escaped with those cultivators.

Because she knew that bringing Long Yanche, this waste, along would definitely spell the word death.

But as long as she escaped, she would let her family come save him.

In the end, Long Yanche, carrying Di Yange, was caught again after running only two steps.

Outside the light screen, everyone looked at the strong and violent Longfan Great Emperor, then looked at the weak and easily bullied youth inside wearing gauze.

They all lowered their heads at the same time and didn’t dare keep watching. Not a single person spoke, making the entire scene extremely strange.

This was the black history of Longfan Great Emperor after all. Now that they’d seen this, wouldn’t Longfan Great Emperor suddenly rise up and cut every one of them down?

However, Longfan Great Emperor who in the past would explode at every turn was now staring at the light screen without blinking and didn’t make a single sound.

Seeing this, although everyone didn’t dare speak, they still couldn’t help becoming melon-eating onlookers and continued to watch the show.
