Chapter 2407: No Choice but to Go Forward
Yi Rou hadn’t eaten much for nearly a day and a night. If she didn’t have the support of the spiritual energy in her body, she would’ve collapsed.
Yi Rou walked on. Even though she didn’t know where to go, she had no choice but to go forward, because she couldn’t find the way back.
Luckily, Yi Rou found a small town. She hurried into the town and saw some steaming buns on a bun stall.
Seeing the steamed bun, Yi Rou’s eyes brightened. She grabbed a steamed bun and without a thought, stuffed it into her mouth.
“What are you doing!? Are you a robber? Give me my money!” The bun stall owner grabbed Yi Rou by the collar.
Yi Rou was really hungry. Even with someone grabbing her collar, she stuffed the bun into her mouth.
Yi Liang’s entire body was trembling. He couldn’t help but walk towards Yi Rou.
The little fox said, “Let your sister handle it herself. From the look of it, your sister is even more ignorant about the ways of the world than me.”
Yi Liang closed his eyes, breathed rapidly, and simply refused to look.
“Pay me, pay me!”
Yi Rou swallowed with much difficulty. Her expression clearly showed her confusion. “Pay you what?”
In the Yinyang Sect, she could eat whatever she wanted, and no one ever asked her for money. The bun didn’t even taste that good.
“Pay me! You won’t be able to leave today if you don’t pay me.” The stall owner held Yi Rou tightly.
Yi Rou was dazed and at a loss. She just apologized again and again. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry, please just let me go.”
“What do you mean you’re sorry? Pay me!”
At this point, a little ruffian passed by. His eyes lit up as he saw Yi Rou, and he swaggered over.
The young ruffian spat, then asked the shop owner, “How much does she owe? I’ll pay for it.”
“Five copper coins.”
“And here I thought it’d be some great sum.” The young ruffian threw five copper coins to the stall owner, pulled Yi Rou with him, then left.
Yi Liang followed them with an ashen face.
Yi Rou thanked the young ruffian repeatedly. Meanwhile, the young ruffian looked her up and down while touching his chin.
His face looked full of malice, and Yi Rou couldn’t help but tightly grip her clothes.
She felt scared and helpless inwardly. She missed her master and senior brothers now more than ever.
She missed her life in Yinyang Sect, where she could play on a swing under the bright sunshine. She missed living in a yard that was full of flowers, and she missed also the breeze that’d carry the fragrance of those flowers.
She missed the times when her life was beautiful.
“Are you hungry? I’ll take you to eat,” the young ruffian said to Yi Rou.
Yi Rou’s eyes lit up. “Thank you.”
Was it really that easy to trick her?
The young ruffian really wanted to whistle proudly.
The young ruffian took Yi Rou to a brothel, ordered a table of dishes, and went to the side to ask the pimp how much she’d be worth.
The young ruffian sold Yi Rou for twenty taels of silver.
After the young ruffian came out of the brothel, Yi Liang broke the tendons of his hands and feet.
Yi Liang squatted on the courtyard wall of the brothel. Looking at his sister, he really wanted to rush in.
But Yi Liang endured it.
For a moment, he felt really cold.
