Chapter 613 The Mysterious Beggar



People needed to live with dignity. If they didn't even have dignity, what was the difference between living and the walking dead?

He didn't like beggars from the bottom of his heart.

However, the beggar was still a human after all. He wouldn't leave him in the lurch. At the very least, he would give him a chance to make a new choice.

"Yes, Country Lord."

Zhao Sheng quickly took out a military bento box and put it down in front of the old beggar. He said, "There's food in here. It's a reward from the Country Lord. It's not easy for you to survive here. If you're willing, you can come with us when we leave tomorrow. I'll ask the His Majesty to take you with us. When we get to the Kingdom of Dawn, you won't have to beg for a living anymore. You can live the life you want."

Looking at the old beggar in front of him, Zhao Sheng felt a trace of compassion.

After all, he had experienced the dark journey after he descended upon the Myriad World Continent. He knew how difficult it was to survive.

However, many humans were in precarious situations. Beggars had no room for survival at all.

He didn't like beggars either. There were no beggars in the Kingdom of Dawn. Even if one used to be a beggar, one could still cultivate in the city and become self-reliant. Even if one didn't have any skills, one could still find a job, hunt fierce beasts, or do odd jobs in the city. They would not go hungry.

Beggars were looked down upon by others.

Even those who were crippled after fighting with fierce beasts would not become a beggar.

The unkempt old beggar grinned and said, "Thank you so much, kind person!"

As he spoke, he sat up and impatiently opened the bento box. Looking at the steaming rice and the fragrant fierce beast meat, he couldn't help but have a great appetite. Without any hesitation, he opened his mouth and began to eat.

He ate it very carefully, not letting go of a single grain of rice.

"We'll set up camp here today. At night, we'll set up our defenses and be on guard. We might encounter all kinds of attacks and assassinations, so stay alert."

Alice flew into the air and scanned the surroundings. She found that this was the best place to set up camp in the vicinity.

The Human warriors all took their seats and started to eat.

"Where did Hei Huang go? It better not be knocked out by those foreign races and made into a pot of dog meat soup."

Ye Qiu also took the bento box and ate while searching around, asking a vague question.

After the battle with the Kobolds, Hei Huang had disappeared into the wilderness.

In fact, Li Xiang also wanted to know the origin of this fellow. It was strange and unpredictable. If someone wanted to target it, they would probably end up worse off. Therefore, he was not worried about its safety.

On the contrary, if he brought this fellow with him and it got interested, it might howl for a long time. That would be a pain in the neck.

A cursed voice that did not distinguish between friend and foe was not easy to bear.

Li Xiang did not care about what happened to it or when it would return. After all, with the contract in place, it would return sooner or later.

"It's good to come back later!"

Zhao Sheng's body stiffened for a moment before he expressed his opinion.

In his opinion, the dog was a time bomb, the kind that could explode at any time.

There wasn't much noise in the army. Everyone was busy eating. After the meal, they kept the bento boxes before they began to work hard on their cultivation. They circulated their cultivation techniques, and waves of iron-blood aura were constantly refined, transforming into their genuine Qi or condensing into Law Runes. They seized every minute and second to improve their strength.

The night fell silently.

The bonfire around the four tables seemed insignificant in the endless darkness, but it was enough to bring hope and warmth.

In the dark wilderness around the abandoned temple, the roars of fierce beasts could be heard from time to time. If it were an ordinary person heard it, one would be trembling with fear the entire night.

The night wind was cold as if ghosts and demons were hiding in it, making the entire temple eerier and the atmosphere more profound and terrifying.

Unknowingly, it was already midnight.

There was no night watchman, so no one cared.

This was when people were the most tired. They were in a trance and it was difficult to concentrate.

Ding ding ding...

Suddenly, a crisp knocking sound rang out in the night, extremely ear-piercing.

All the warriors immediately opened their eyes and looked in the direction of the voice. Their Qi dynamics were getting stronger, and they were ready to attack at any moment.

"It's that old beggar!"

When they looked over, they realized that it was the sound of the old beggar hitting the broken bowl with his chopsticks.

"Little brother, since you've treated me to a meal, I'll treat you to a drink of water. Do you dare to drink my bowl of water?" The old beggar grinned and revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth when he saw Li Xiang turning his head to look at him.

"Why don't I?"

A strange light flashed in Li Xiang's eyes. He suddenly stood up and agreed.

"Country Lord, be careful of a trap," said Alice with her face darkened.

"Don't worry. He's a human, not a foreign race." Li Xiang smiled indifferently and walked toward the old beggar.

"Mighty steps, the aura of a king, the fate like the sea, the killing intent like the tide, and the will like the iron. This was the sign of a master of development, but your fate was a little strange. It was like a fog, difficult to see through. If there are no accidents, you are born with the fate of a Country Lord and have great luck."

The old beggar sat up and leaned against the wall. He sized up Li Xiang with his turbid eyes, but they were as deep as an abyss.

"This old beggar is indeed not simple. He seems to have a similar background as the old farmer."

Long ago, Li Xiang had already expected this beggar not ordinary. He felt strange no matter how for a beggar to be able to survive in such a temple alone. If it was an ordinary beggar, they would be dead even if there were a hundred. He might also be a legendary person.

"I can see that the spiritual light above your head is soaring and shining brightly. You also have a trained body with tough muscles and bones. You'll definitely make rapid progress in body refining. The most amazing thing is that you have the Qi of a king, and are destined to be an overlord of a region."

"An overlord will not lack women. Having a harem is a huge pressure on men. How many emperors have not died on the battlefield, but died on the bellies of women?"

The old beggar's eyes were shining as he looked at Li Xiang. He said eloquently as if he was a half-immortal who knew everything.

"Of course, even so, there's no need to be afraid. I have my ways. Take a look!"
