Chapter 34

At first, when Feng Yin heard Feng Yin's plea, He Bi Qu's heart was actually somewhat hesitant.

However, to stabilize this guy, it was worth it.

The spirit soul bead of a demonic beast can only be produced by demonic beasts of the fifth rank or higher. To obtain a complete spirit soul bead, each one is very difficult.

This is because most demonic beasts of the fifth rank or higher already have the ability to self-destruct. Even if they don't shatter their entire bodies like bombs, they can still explode their inner cores and spirit soul beads without much trouble.

Many demonic beasts, when facing a desperate situation, will explode everything they can, converting it into energy for battle. In the end, even if they die in battle, they only leave behind a battered corpse for their enemies.

You can eat my flesh, yes, but you can't have my inner core and spirit soul bead.

Demonic beasts also have intelligence.

Rainbow Heavenly Robe naturally has some stock of spirit soul beads, but they are all high-grade. Even if He Bi Qu wanted them, he would need to pay a considerable amount of merit, which is no easy task...

Let alone getting a lot of them at once.

But after hearing about the secret device, He Bi Qu's resolve instantly became a hundred times firmer!

"For this good deed, I should try to exchange as many as possible. Perhaps it can make this kid settle down... which would be a great thing."

Everything has a price.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your child, you can't catch a hooligan without risking your daughter-in-law; and you can't gain the trust of a divine doctor without risking the spirit soul beads.

He Bi Qu immediately agreed, seeming very confident and sure of himself.

Finally, he left!

Watching He Bi Qu lead the group away, Feng Yin stood at the door, his expression slightly relaxed, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He was really afraid of being taken away by force just now.

Although He Bi Qu's intentions were good, it absolutely did not fit his own future plans.

I'm just a killer, why should I become an official...

Then, thinking about the current situation, his expression gradually turned serious.

He needed to act quickly.

He had already been healing for two days.

The large group had moved far away, and the dust gradually settled.

Feng Yin sighed, walked across the street, and entered a dilapidated little courtyard.

An old woman, with a kind face, was working hard washing clothes in the yard.

"Xiao Yinzi has come."

Seeing Feng Yin, the old woman was very happy, her wrinkled face breaking into a smile. She quickly wiped her hands on a cloth and greeted him, "Your business has been good these past few days, hasn't it?"

"Yes, it's been okay, hahaha. Auntie Zhang, is Uncle Zhang still sleeping?"

"He's still sleeping. The old man has had this problem since he was young; he can't stand the sun and doesn't dare to come out during the day. It's better on overcast or rainy days."

The old lady sighed, "It's an old problem."

"Yes, Auntie Zhang, I'm moving out, so I came to say goodbye to you."

Feng Yin said.

This old couple had wandered here at the beginning of the year. At the time, the old man was covered in sores and seemed to be on the verge of death. Feng Yin, who was just settling into his new identity, needed the persona of a "doctor" and was moved by compassion. Most importantly, the old lady had a kind face, and Feng Yin genuinely didn't want to see such an elderly person starve to death on the street.

Sometimes, Feng Yin's heart could still be soft.

So, seeing their plight, Feng Yin helped repair the dilapidated house across the street and let them move in.

Occasionally, he would visit, improve the lives of the two elders, and chat with the old lady, which made him feel more at ease.

"Moving out?"

The old lady's expression changed, and she put down her work. "Why are you moving out? Is someone causing you trouble?"

"Not really."

"I cured someone and gained the favor of a nobleman."

Feng Yin didn't want to worry the ordinary old couple, so he smiled and said, "I'm going to become an official, so I won't be living here anymore."

"An official? That's good. Being an official is good."

The old lady smiled, but then sighed, "Xiao Yinzi, being an official is different from being at home. High-ranking officials are all corrupt. Don't trust them easily. It's good to go out and see the world, but if you ever feel wronged and want to come back, come back early."

She walked up to Feng Yin, straightened his collar, and softly said, "Good child, may the heavens bless you."

Then, she fumbled in her pocket, took out a worn, oily object, and placed it in Feng Yin's hand. "Xiao Yinzi, this is a protective charm that my family gave me when I got married. I'm giving it to you, hoping you will be safe and live a long life."

"Thank you, Auntie Zhang. Take care of yourselves."

Feng Yin sighed, thinking that once he left, he would have to hide his identity and would likely never return to this small town. The old couple was already advanced in age and wouldn't live much longer.

He might never see them again, and the thought made his heart ache.

The next time he returned, they might already be buried.

Feng Yin took out fifty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to her. "Auntie Zhang, after I leave, take care of yourselves. Keep this money and use it slowly. Don't let anyone know. Just use a little at a time to buy food."

He didn't want to leave more, as fifty taels was already too much.

In this remote, unregulated small town, one tael of silver could lead to a murder, let alone fifty. This was definitely a large sum of money.

If Feng Yin hadn't been about to leave, he wouldn't have done this, as it could endanger the old couple.

"These four pills, two for you and two for Uncle Zhang. They will be good for your health."

"Take care of yourselves, both of you."

Feng Yin left.

The old lady watched him leave, her cloudy eyes following him until he entered the clinic across the street, then she sighed softly.

She shuffled into the room and gently said to the old man still under the covers, "The young man has left. He's a good person, don't you think?"

The old man grunted and weakly turned over. "He is a good child."

"He gave us four pills, two for each of us."

The old lady smiled. "Take them."

"What's the point of me taking them?"

"Take them. It's rare to meet such a kind-hearted child. Even though he's not here, don't let his kindness go to waste."

The old lady placed the pills at the old man's mouth, and he reluctantly opened his mouth, mechanically swallowing them while sighing, "I told you it's a waste of time. If there was a cure, we wouldn't be in this situation... huh?"

Suddenly, he clamped his mouth shut.

He pushed the last two pills in the old lady's hand away and firmly said, "The child said one for each of us. You take two, don't let his kindness go to waste."

The old lady rolled her eyes. "You're so stubborn."

She opened her mouth and swallowed the pills.

A moment later.

"Huh?"

...

Back in his room, Feng Yin saw Xu Lao San and Xu Lao Si standing in the yard, looking dazed.

The Green Robes had restored everything to its original state before leaving, and the yard now looked clean and tidy.

Over the past two days, Xu Lao Si, who worked part-time at the clinic, had been very busy, not only running errands for Feng Yin but also cooking.

Perhaps the pressure was also a motivator. Under Feng Yin's strict guidance, Xu Lao Si's cooking skills had improved significantly.

Looking at their honest faces, Feng Yin felt a touch of emotion.

In this world, people with their personalities and lack of cunning would likely not last long and probably wouldn't live much longer.

They could be dead at any time.

Although they had some cunning and their own small schemes, they were too indecisive and lacked strategic thinking. Most importantly, their talents were too ordinary, which fundamentally determined that they would not achieve much.

Once he left, leaving no trace, these two would likely become the main targets of the Great Yan. He Bi Qu's enemies, unable to find him, would immediately target Xu Lao San and Xu Lao Si.

Two people were too noticeable.

When that time came, the fate of these two, who could not provide useful information, was almost certain.

They would be completely dragged down by him, to their deaths.

Thinking of this, Feng Yin couldn't help but sigh.

Leaving this small border town, he couldn't take them with him. Three people together would be too noticeable. Not only would the enemies of Rainbow Heavenly Robe easily find him, but Rainbow Heavenly Robe itself would trace him through them. The idea of three people fleeing together was a joke.

"Xu Lao Si."

Feng Yin's face softened. "Let's have some drinks tonight. You two have been here for so long, and we haven't had a proper drink together."

"Sure thing!"

Xu Lao Si's eyes lit up, and he eagerly agreed, "Sure, sure, sure."

He took the silver and rushed out.

Hearing the commotion, Feng Yin entered the room and closed the door, leaving Xu Lao San outside, looking confused.

It's not like he was a girl, why did he always have to close the door when entering the room?

Inside, Feng Yin saw Xiao Feng Ying running back and forth on the bed, moving so fast that it looked like a white line.

Finally, with everyone gone, the big bed was back, and the little thing was overjoyed. It had already made several holes in the pillows.

Without Feng Yin's permission, Xiao Feng Ying didn't dare to go out on its own.

Until now, Xu Lao San and Xu Lao Si didn't know about this little creature.

Feng Yin prepared some porridge for the little thing, but Xiao Feng Ying looked disdainful, poked the bowl with its paw, took a few bites, and then picked up the teething stick Feng Yin had made for it.

"Crack."

After a few bites, the teething stick was broken.

The little thing looked up, wagging its tail, its whiskers trembling slightly, and its bright eyes looking at Feng Yin, clearly meaning:

This porridge is not enough, and the portion is too small!

"Sweat... You're growing so fast, it's only been a few days." Feng Yin slapped his forehead.

The little thing tilted its head, its snow-white paw touching his hand.

The soft, warm paw pads were very comfortable.

Feng Yin thought about what to feed the little thing, or what its main food should be!

Suddenly, an idea came to him: steamed buns?

The steamed buns provided by Jun Tian Jian were of high quality. One per meal was enough to keep him full.

Deciding to try, Feng Yin put a yuan force pill inside a steamed bun and handed it to the little thing. It sniffed it, carefully broke the bun with its paw, found the yuan force pill, and ate it, licking its lips. Then, it extended its white paw and patted Feng Yin's hand.

Another one.
