"Wow wow wow!"
The little girl, completely disregarding the tense atmosphere, cried incessantly, was unbearably hungry, and only wanted to eat.
The child's innocent cries completely shattered the imposing aura that Han Feng had created.
“It seems you need to soothe the little one in your arms first.” Zi Nu smiled, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes, and ordered, “Go, prepare some food for them.”
"Yes, elder sister." A young girl accepted the order and left.
The moment the other person finished speaking, Han Feng's mind was filled with doubt.
"Just a moment ago he was as fierce as a wolf, but now he has sent people to prepare a meal for my sister and me. The turn of events is really strange and unpredictable."
"There must be a trick!"
Having made this deduction, Han Feng's sense of vigilance intensified.
He gazed at the stunningly beautiful face, her flowing purple robes and dancing purple hair. Bathed in the bright moonlight, her exquisite features and unique aura were even more striking.
It gave him a strange and beautiful feeling, like a fairy under the moon.
"She is indeed a stunning beauty, but unfortunately, her temper is too fiery."
He steadied himself and brought his scattered thoughts back to the present.
Take the initiative to ask:
"Is there some deeper meaning behind the young lady's actions?"
"It's better to be frank with them to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings at crucial moments."
"I just can't bear to see that kid crying so pitifully in your arms, it really breaks my heart."
Zi Nu sheathed her crimson longsword and, with a beaming smile, revealed her true purpose:
"Of course, if you feel guilty, why not lend me a hand?"
"It just so happens that I'm short-staffed right now."
Seeing his opponent sheath their sword, Han Feng also restrained the violent sword intent on his Devouring Prison Sword and asked in return:
"What makes you so sure I would work for you?"
246. A rare and exquisite piece of glass?
"Just for the kindness of this meal?"
"So young, yet you're alone with your younger sister who can't even speak yet, wandering from place to place." The woman in purple turned around, her gaze falling on the young man, and made a promise:
"If you are willing to help me, I am willing to take you and your brother in."
"I guarantee you will have plenty of food and clothing and live a worry-free life."
"It would allow your sister to grow up healthily in a stable environment, what do you think?"
After hearing this,
Han Feng neither immediately agreed nor refused.
After pondering for a moment, he asked:
Why did you choose me to work for you? Please give me a reason.
"I don't believe someone who speaks like that would readily accept others."
"At only ten years old, you emerged unscathed from my sudden attack, demonstrating your extraordinary potential and making you worthy of my investment and recruitment." The woman in purple smiled radiantly and countered with:
What do you think of this reason?
"Can I take this as a compliment?" Han Feng plunged the Devouring Prison Sword into the ground, and the fierce aura emanating from the sword completely subsided. At this moment, it looked ordinary, like a finely crafted piece of glass.
"So, you're planning to settle down here?"
"No, my purpose in entering the Baiyue region is solely to find and take in some young orphans as a source of new strength," the woman in purple said, looking at Han Feng.
"My target is South Korea."
"South Korea is currently the weakest and the situation is unstable, so choosing South Korea is not the best option."
Han Feng was filled with confusion about this.
“Precisely because it is weak, the resistance is relatively small, which means I have more opportunities.” The woman in purple leaned against the corridor railing and asked again:
"Young man, are you willing to accept the conditions I've offered?"
"I'll think about this tonight and get back to you at dawn tomorrow," Han Feng replied, clearly not trusting the words of strangers.
The woman in purple didn't seem to care.
Instead, he instructed another young girl:
"Go and arrange a guest room for this young man so he can rest well."
"May I ask your name, young man?"
"My name is Han Feng!" Han Feng replied truthfully.
After all, this isn't some fantasy cultivation world; knowing someone's name doesn't allow you to use magic to ambush them from afar.
Then, led by the girl,
With his left arm around the crying Yun Ji and his right hand gripping the Devouring Prison Sword, Han Feng entered a clean room and settled down.
Soon after,
Another young girl brought some food.
Among them are foods suitable for him, a teenager, and infant foods suitable for his younger sister, Xiaoyunji.
"Thank you for your trouble, young lady."
Han Feng expressed his gratitude.
After the girl left, he closed the door and first used a method unique to the Yue region to test all the food for any deadly poison.
Even the bowls, chopsticks, spoons, and other tableware were inspected one by one.
Continue until it is confirmed that all items are non-toxic.
After confirming safety,
Han Feng picked up a bowl of soft, sticky rice porridge and carefully fed his younger sister with a wooden spoon. Once Xiao Yunji had food, she immediately stopped crying.
She sat quietly in her brother's lap, opened her cherry-like mouth, and eagerly swallowed her food.
Two chubby, white little hands kept reaching for the bowl in Han Feng's hands.
They were clearly starving before.
"Yunji, be good, don't move around, or you'll knock over your bowl. I'll feed you." Han Feng held Yunji's little hand with one hand and patiently fed her with the other.
247. Rejecting invitations from beautiful women
On the other side...
Inside the elegant room where the woman in purple had previously been,
The young girl who had just been talking to the woman in purple looked at her elder sister and couldn't help but ask:
"Big sister, are you really planning to take them in?"
"That kid almost killed Qianqian and the others."
"Don't ask questions that don't need to be asked." The woman in purple raised her right hand and examined her palm. The spot where she had gripped the crimson longsword was now red and swollen.
Near the tiger's mouth, a little bruising even seeped out.
"Such astonishing power is truly astonishing!"
"He is so young, yet his internal strength is already quite extraordinary. If my internal strength had not far surpassed his, I would not have been able to block that sword strike just now."
"While he is still young, if we can subdue him and bring him under our command, given time..."
Thinking of her plan, the woman in purple robes became even more eager to subdue Han Feng.
His injured right hand clenched slightly.
"Go back."
"Yes!"
After he was left alone in the room,
The woman in purple took out a healing ointment and gently applied it to her right palm. The pain struck, but it only fueled the fire within her.
……
After feeding his younger sister Yunji,
Han Feng brought over a basin of hot water, carefully washed the little girl's body, changed her into a spare set of new clothes, and then coaxed her to sleep.
He casually washed the little clothes that Yunji had changed out of.
Hang it by the window to dry.
