Looking at the child who had fainted with dirt on his face, Lin Li was furious. He already found this snobbish boss extremely distasteful, so he squeezed the boss's hand a little harder.
The fruit stall owner screamed "Ahhh".
Hearing the sound, more and more demonic citizens gathered around him. Lin Li couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this group of talking citizens.
"What did you do just now? Do you like watching the fun so much?"
Hearing Lin Li's angry voice, the citizens all left in disappointment.
Lin Li also let go of the fruit stall owner and asked, "What did he do?"
"This brat stole my apples. Even if a brat like this is beaten to death, no one will take the apples..." The fruit stall owner said confidently even though he was afraid of Lin Li.
"That's enough! It's his fault that he stole things, but he shouldn't do it so harshly! Are these gold coins enough?"
Lin Li no longer wanted to pay attention to the crocodile-faced boss, threw five gold coins at him, picked up an apple from the stall, hugged the child and left.
"You're lucky, kid. If you dare to steal again, I'll beat you to death, you thief." Seeing Lin Li leave, the fruit stall owner was still counting the gold coins behind him and scolding the child with contempt.
Lin Li held the child in his arms and looked at the demon child's red skin and small horns on his head. He pulled back his hair to reveal a round face. Lin Li was surprised to find that the child seemed to be a little girl.
Not far from the fruit stall, Lin Li found a hotel. "Zhi Ya" opened the door of the hotel. There were several guest tables on the first floor of the hotel, and there were several strange-looking demons.
They were noisily eating next to each other.
"Find me a bigger room." Lin Li walked to the front desk and said to the demon girl with a pair of rabbit ears.
"Sir, World of Warcraft is not allowed in the hotel. Warcraft must be kept in a cage in the backyard." The young lady said to Lin Li politely.
"Wow"
"What if this is the case?" Lin Li took out a handful of gold coins and threw them on the table without even counting them.
"Oh! Dear sir, did I say something that I shouldn't have said just now? I will take you to your room right now." The young lady immediately led Lin Li and the others up the stairs with a bright smile.
Lin Li's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he felt a little better. Sure enough, spending money can make people happy.
"I'll find an aunt later to help me give this child a bath." Lin Li said again, looking at the dirty child in his arms.
"Okay, sir."
Lin Li walked into the room and found that although the room was not luxurious, it was very clean and tidy. There was a table and a few chairs simply arranged in the room. What caught Lin Li's attention the most were the two wooden tables covered with white sheets.
's big bed.
Lin Li rushed to the bed without hesitation and threw himself on the bed, feeling like he was in heaven.
When he was in the Goblin Village, he had to sleep on that cold stone bed every day, and these days he had been jolting on the carriage all the time. He felt that he was about to have a herniated disc in his waist.
While Lin Li was squirming crazily on the bed, Miss Rabbit Ears walked in holding the little girl he had rescued.
"Guest, you have already finished bathing this child." Miss Rabbit Ears said from the side.
Lin Li stopped immediately when he heard the sound, stood up awkwardly, and looked at the little girl who had changed into neat clothes and still hadn't woken up in Miss Rabbit Ears' arms.
"Oh, okay, let's put her on the bed first. Then we'll open a room for her next door." Lin Li said, grabbing another handful of gold coins and giving them to Miss Rabbit Ears.
"And remember to knock on the door next time you come in." Lin Li reminded again.
"Okay, guest, I saw that your door was not closed, so I came right in. I will pay attention next time." The young lady gently put the little girl on the bed and then left.
Lin Li looked at this clean little girl. Her skin was all dark red, but her face was somewhat similar to that of a human being. She was much cuter than the casual-looking demons outside.
The little girl seemed to be in a deep sleep at this time, breathing evenly, as if she had not had a good rest for a long time, and Lin Libian did not disturb her.
He watched for a while and then stood up and walked to the window. He opened the window and wanted to see the scenery outside from a high place. "Huh!" Lin Li just opened the window and a wave of heat hit his face. "I don't know why this city of Terra is so hot?"
Lin Li muttered.
Lin Li looked up at the sky. The sun seemed to be no different from other places. Then he looked down at the red soil on the ground. The pedestrians on the road were all sweating and listless. "Is this the climate here?"
"Sir, the child is awake." Mike's voice sounded next to Lin Li, interrupting Lin Li's thinking.
Lin Li turned around and saw the little girl sitting quietly on the bed without making any sound.
"What's your name?" Lin Li walked to the little girl and squatted down and asked softly.
"..." The little girl did not answer Lin Li.
"Then why did you steal the fruit from the fruit stall?" Lin Li asked again.
"I didn't steal his apples. Forget it, you city dwellers won't believe what we say." The little girl stopped mid-sentence.
"Huh? How do you know if I believe it or not if you don't tell me?"
"I didn't steal his apples, I just picked them up and looked at them. He said I had soiled his apples and couldn't sell them to others, and asked me to buy them with gold coins. But I didn't have gold coins at all, and I didn't soil them.
Apple." The little girl said aggrievedly, covering her bruised arm.
"Is it because of this? Why did he treat you so harshly?" Lin Li asked in disbelief.
"That's what happened. I told you that you wouldn't believe me." The little girl remained silent again.
Lin Li thought about the snobbish look of the crocodile-faced boss, and completely believed that what the little girl said was true.
"I believe what you said, and I have this for you." Lin Li took out the apple he just bought at the fruit stall and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl stared at the apple in Lin Li's hand with wide eyes, and took it for a long time.
"The room next door is prepared for you. You can go and have a good rest tonight. I will take you to settle the accounts with that hateful boss tomorrow and then send you home, okay?" Lin Li said to the little girl dangerously.
The little girl nodded and walked towards the door of the room holding the apple.
"Thank you."
The little girl said thank you at the door and walked out.
Lin Li looked at this polite child and thought that he must teach this crocodile-faced boss a lesson tomorrow, so he lay on the bed and fell asleep soon after.
