Chapter 1119 "Bandit Di Cang (9)"


“Isn"t it just a chicken? I"ll help pay for it so let him go." Rummaging through his clothes, Bai Xiachen tosses over a piece of silver to act as payment to the man. Coming before the old beggar: "Are you alright Grandpa?"


“I’m hungry, I’m so hungry.” Maybe its due to hunger or something else entirely, but the senior didn"t pay any heed to the little steambun"s inquiry and instead continued to gnaw away at the chicken.


Normally one would be quite irritated at being ignored, but in this case, Bai Xiachen only felt an uncomfortable sadness circulating from within.


“Eat slowly Grandfather, no one will steal it from you."


It"s then the crazy old man paused in his gnawing and turned to look up at the boy"s face. "Did you see my Bai Bai? I"m looking for my little Bai Bai."


Taken aback by the question, the boy"s lovely brow furrowed up: "Grandpa, who is Bai Bai? If you tell me I will help you look for that person."


“Bai Bai is Bai Bai, she is my good granddaughter. Let me secretly tell something, I actually s.n.a.t.c.hed Bai Bai off of my old friend"s hands. Her talent is very good so me and my old friend both wanted to accept her as our granddaughter. In order to win, I used a sneaky scheme to s.n.a.t.c.h her over." With that said, the crazy old man then bursts into tears and even tossed the chicken to the ground as he sobbed away.


“I should"ve given her to him. He could"ve taken her to a secluded place where no one can hurt her. Bai Bai must hate me to death, woohoohoo….."


To the senior"s credit, his words were clear and credible, totally unlike his crazy appearance. Unfortunately, that glimmer of clarity only lasted for a brief moment before he returned to his usual erratic state with that silly dumb smile.



“Have you seen Bai Bai? If you see her, can you tell my Bai Bai that I miss her….."


Against this partially unstable old man, Bai Xiachen just didn"t know how to handle him. Nevertheless, his heart told him he couldn"t leave this person behind. "Old Grandpa, get up first and tell me how your Bai Bai looks. This way I can help keep an eye out for her."


“Boy.” The middle-aged man over there had a better att.i.tude after taking the little steambun"s money, but that changed again into a sneer after hearing the old man"s words. "Don"t blame me for not warning you. This old beggar is a liar. He"s been here for a few days already and has done nothing but freeload off others. Don"t be fooled by him."


Naturally Bai Xiachen wouldn"t be swayed by a simple comment from some stranger, especially when they have shown such harshness against an old senior. Still showing concerned eyes, he helps the crazy old coot up.


“My Bai Bai is all pearly and white, oh yes, she"s also extremely talented, and…." Patting his chicken coop of a hair, the old man"s gaze suddenly turned dull in the eye like he"s lost in memory, "I can"t remember, I can"t remember anymore, I think Bai Bai has been gone for a long time…."


“Highness.” Giving the boy a gentle tug on the sleeve, Dragony offers up a suggestion: "Why don"t we bring him to Mother for help? This old grandpa is too pitiful, I feel so sorry for him."


Nodding after a moment of thought: "Alright, let"s do that. Although it can be dangerous if he follows us around, but I can"t see how its better than letting him stay here in this place. Perhaps we will encounter someone that knows him along our travel."


“That’s right!” From out of the blue, the crazy old coot suddenly slaps his thigh and then obsessively stared at the little steambun"s face. "Your eyes, your eyes are just like Bai Bai"s….. you"re both very bright in there."
