BXBX NOVEL Chapter 308 I Will Follow You!
In the Dragon Emperor Hall, Yang Lujia and his company were still enjoying eating lollipops.
"More! More!" Everyone was addicted to it, although it was just all sweet, with no other taste involved. However, the atmosphere that this sweet food brought them was enough to let the little girl's guard down.
Somehow, the little girl liked the current atmosphere, and the people around her this time were much more amiable than the one she considered her master. These people did not treat her like she was their servant, an underling that could be trampled at any time. Unable to understand why she was feeling this way, she turned to look at their faces once more. While Brownie and Long Guang kept on fighting against each other, it was more like a child fight as they were technically fighting for one lollipop.
Moreover, the young man in front of her was the most amiable and kind person she had ever encountered. Even his gaze at her did not contain any disdain or distaste. It was like he accepted her for being her. That was the gaze she could not comprehend but it was likewise the gaze that she would find to dislike. That doting gaze.
Soon, this young man's expression turned stern. However, his stern face wasn't directed at her. It was instead directed at the dog and the slightly bigger person who was chasing and trying to snatch each other's lollipops.
"Enough, you two, stop acting like kids. Besides, eating too many lollipops could affect your cultivation negatively. It would cause a disease called diabetes if you continue to eat sweets like it. Do you know the effect of diabetes on your cultivation? It will slowly rot your dantian like some sort of gu or worm that would contaminate your cultivation until there was nothing left!"
"Eh!" Brownie hurriedly got rid of the lollipop's temptation and so did Long Guang. "This is actually food filled with deception! Who created this?! How dare he make this food to trouble cultivators? Even if I'm a dog, I am still affected because I am a cultivator myself! All of a sudden, that so-called lollipop tasted like shit!"
Long Guang also nodded in affirmation.
Meanwhile, Yang Lujia's countenance turned dark, and looked at these two. "You asked who created this? If I told you it was me, what will you do, you assholes! Of course, what I said just was a joke to keep you two in check! How dare you talk like that to the one that feeds you!"
Sheng Ao laughed it off. He could not take it anymore. It was just funny how the faces of the dog and a little dragon turned sour. He did not mean to disrespect his senior brother, but it was really funny!
Even the little girl giggled at this sight, seemingly able to understand the whole situation. However, she found it funny, especially when Long Guang was spanked by Yang Lujia, along with that doggy.
The little girl ignored them for a while, still licking her lollipop, and leaned towards Little Green who was also enjoying the lollipop in its mouth. "Is it dwelicious?"
"Hmm! Hmm!" Little Green nodded vehemently as it devoured another lollipop in its mouth.
"T-Thank you…" the little girl suddenly said that it made Little Green look at her.
Little Green did not know what it meant and just continued to eat her lollipop. The little girl just stared at it blankly and also continued to lick her lollipop. No matter how much she ate, it would still come out very delicious in her mouth. She just couldn't understand why. However, more importantly, she felt like she was tired of running anymore. Therefore, she took this gamble and chose to stay with these people.
Just like what the young man said, as long as he was with her, she would be protected by him. She believed him. For the second time, she believed another person in her lifetime. She was being naïve, but it would probably become the brightest decision she had made in her life. She just didn't know.
"What's your name, little girl?" Yang Lujia asked her after he settled down Brownie and Long Guang who were whining from the side because they were beaten up.
The little girl felt somewhat fidgety and looked straight into Yang Lujia's eyes. Her eyes were beautiful. They were orange in color and they had the charm of attraction, accompanied by her scarlet hair that brought more beauty to that dirty facade. And anyone would feel like they would be entranced just by her gaze alone. Just what kind of disciple would he accept at this moment?
"I… K… Kun Peng…"
"Kun Peng…" Yang Lujia confirmed. "Do you want to follow me?"
"Uhmm…" She felt troubled by his question, but she didn't know the answer to it. Therefore, she hesitated. "Uh…"
Yang Lujia saw through her hesitation and just smiled. "You don't have to worry about answering my question. Just tell me if you need my help or if you—"
"Why you doing this to me…" she innocently spoke. "I'm just nwobody…"
"You're not a nobody, little girl. It's okay if you don't want to follow me. I just want you to live a normal life or live the life that you want. With me as your aid, I am certain I can walk you through that…"
Kun Peng, the little girl, looked into Yang Lujia's eyes. His eyes were not judging her appearance. It was as though he was looking at her like a precious treasure he would forever dote on. She never received this kind of gaze before. It was the same for everyone in the group in this hall right now. They were so amiable and funny…
"It's really okay—"
"Yes, I follow you!!!" Kun Peng suddenly shouted that which startled Yang Lujia and the group. It seemed like they did not expect this little girl to still be so naive and not learn how her experience made her suffer so much.
