Chapter 2772: A Stinky Beggar
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Xuanyuan Mo Ze asked; it seemed he had not seen Gray Wolf since last night. And because Feng Jiu came back last night and then left in a huff, he was not in the mood to care if Gray Wolf was there or not. After he sat down, he started to notice that Gray Wolf, who was constantly talking and hovering around him, was missing.
Shadow One paused before responding, “When Ghost Doctor arrived last night, she instructed the dark guard to knock Gray Wolf unconscious and toss him into the city to beg for a few days.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze was surprised. Upon reflection, he recalled that Gray Wolf appeared to make inappropriate remarks when they encountered Feng Jiu yesterday. So he nodded. “I see, you can leave!”
“Yes.” Shadow One replied and then left.
Back in the city, Gray Wolf, who had been beaten black and blue, had his spirit energy breath sealed. He wore a tattered garment and sat on a street corner, his face forlorn.
What on earth had happened? He was knocked out and woke up here as a beggar. His spirit energy breath had been sealed. He wanted to go back, but people were still watching him in the dark and telling him that he would have to beg here for a few days.
And what’s so appealing about being a beggar? All day long, getting dirty looks and being looked down upon by others. He absolutely detested being a beggar.
However, everything on him was confiscated. He had no money and no food. His stomach was already growling with hunger just half a day later.
“Look at this beggar. Even though he is tall and strong and has good hands and feet, he is begging here.” A woman pa.s.sing by scoffed at Gray Wolf sitting in the corner and scolded him.
“There are a lot of people with good hands and feet who don’t work these days. They have no choice but to beg,” said another woman who accompanied her.
“This kind of person should not be given alms.”
“Exactly.”
Gray Wolf kept his head down and covered his face with his hands; as if he was afraid that someone he knew would recognise him. He muttered when the two women were far away.
“It wasn’t me who wanted to beg here. I also have no choice. Argh!”
The dark guards could only watch and grin in silence. Master’s order to bring Gray Wolf to beg for a few days caused much excitement among them. Several of them jumped at the chance to beat Gray Wolf up. When they saw him squatting here in a ragged beggar’s outfit, they wondered how on earth Gray Wolf had managed to anger their master.
“Hey, I’m starving.”
With his stomach growling, Gray Wolf got up and walked down the street with a broken bowl. He stopped at a place that sold piping hot steamed buns. As he watched, he licked his lips and gulped. When he was about to say something, the peddler grabbed a broom and dashed over.
“Stinky beggar! Are you trying to disrupt my business? Leave. I’ll be rude to you if you don’t leave!” The peddler threatened while waving his broom and staring menacingly at the stinky, filthy Gray Wolf.
Gray Wolf’s mouth was still open, but he hadn’t said anything! Even though he had been driven away, he couldn’t give up. He gulped and said, “Boss, I’m hungry. I’ll tell you what! Give me some meat buns first, and I’ll give you twice as much money in a few days! What about it, double?”
“You stinky beggar! So, you’re not leaving? I’ll beat you until you leave!” The peddler struck Gray Wolf with his broom and exclaimed, “Huh, double! Who are you trying to cheat!”
