117 That Thing Is Actually A White Baby Tooth!
Shen Yaowei was almost certain that the young man in front of her was Huo Junhan.
Except for some reason, he’d changed into a teenager, his eyes had turned black, and she had become a cat.
Huo Junhan quickly walked to where Shen Yaowei was. He squatted down and raised his hand to touch her cat head. “That woman touched you with her dirty hand, so I cut off her hand. Don’t be angry.”
Sensing Huo Junhan’s almost strange gentleness, Shen Yaowei’s body froze slightly.
She felt that Huo Junhan was even more terrifying like this.
He was clearly gentle, but she couldn’t sense any vitality in him that belonged to the living.
Not knowing what was going on, Shen Yaowei let Huo Junhan untie the rope around her neck. She didn’t dare to struggle and was picked up from the ground.
The young man’s embrace was cold and hard. Shen Yaowei curled up obediently and looked up at Huo Junhan.
“From now on, you’ll be called Er Bai.” The young man lowered his eyes, his tone gentle but without substance.
This name instantly evoked Shen Yaowei’s distant memories.
She remembered that on her 10th birthday, she had spent it with her father and brothers in the frontier fortress. At that time, Huo Junhan had returned to the frontier once again. With him was a long-haired white fat cat called Er Bai.
Er Bai was very humane. At that time, she didn’t like Huo Junhan, but she liked Er Bai very much. Er Bai always stayed by her side, and in the end, it simply became her pet.
It was just that Er Bai had died of illness in less than three years.
Feeling that she might be in a dream, Shen Yaowei glanced at the decapitated woman on the ground.
The woman was wearing silk, satin, and gorgeous jewelry.
Then, she looked at Huo Junhan. His clothes were tattered and were made of the lowest-grade fabric that even the servants of the Shen family wouldn’t wear.
That woman said that she had raised Huo Junhan for the past few years, but the two of them were dressed differently. Moreover, Huo Junyan was obviously thinner than his peers…
Shen Yaowei’s heart ached as if it had been pierced by needles.
Huo Junhan carried Shen Yaowei with one hand and walked to the woman’s corpse. He expressionlessly took all the valuable things off her and stuffed them into his arms.
After doing all this, Huo Junhan left the dilapidated temple.
Two hours later, at the Linfu Inn.
Before Huo Junhan carried her into the inn, Shen Yaowei subconsciously looked up at the plaque on the door and remembered the name of the inn.
From the passersby, she learned that she was now in a small border town called Yunbei City.
Huo Junhan, who was full of vitality, came to the counter and threw the golden bracelet in his hand on the counter. “Open a room and prepare some hot water, wine, and clean cloth towels. Also prepare some meat. Remember not to put salt in it.”
The waiter looked at the disheveled young man and the clean white cat in his arms with a strange gaze. In the end, he chose not to ask anything. He took a bunch of keys and said, “Please follow me.”
The upper room was on the innermost part of the third floor. After arriving at the room, Huo Junhan placed Shen Yaowei on the couch.
Sitting obediently on the couch, Shen Yaowei stared straight at Huo Junhan.
The young man sat in the chair, then carefully pulled out the red string that hung around his neck and was hidden in his collar.
When she saw what was hanging from the red rope, Shen Yaowei let out a puzzled meow. “Meow, meow, meow?”
That thing was actually a white baby tooth!
