"He can't stay here!"

"Mom, just think of it as renting a room to him, even the basement. He's pitiful, framed and has nowhere to go."

"How much resources did they give you to buy your dirty soul! You actually brought a stranger home!"

"A lot, I must admit, but that's not the point... The point is his uncle is in charge of logistics near Upper City. Those in charge of logistics are not small figures. As long as the younger siblings can build a good relationship with him, even if they develop in Mid City in the future, someone will take care of them. This is a trade, Mom!"

"They don't need to go to Mid City! Mid City is a prison that obliterates human nature! You've changed! Hua! You've changed!"

In the study on the first floor of the small wooden building.

'Old Goat' Thomas was arguing fiercely with the kind landlady.

Outside the wooden door with several cracks, several children were pressing their ears to listen to the movement inside the study.

Wang Jixuan stood in the corner of this living room cum dining room, waiting for his 'fate' with his hands behind his back.

He seemed a little lost in thought as he rapidly pondered in his heart.

Qi;

Qi is the origin of all things;

Qi does not lie;

Wang Jixuan wouldn't mistake that ball of Qi within Wen Heisen's body.

This old woman, Thomas's adoptive mother, had a trace of Wen Heisen's Qi on her hands, they had been in contact recently. This wisp of Qi was slowly dissipating. If he had arrived here tomorrow, he would have missed this crucial information.

But, this is the heartland of the Wanlijin Gang's 'Emerald Manor'.

The Wanlijin and Blackfire gangs are still sporadically fighting, and he even heard bean-popping gunshots when he and Thomas drove past the boundary between the two gangs' territories.

Although the actual distance between the two gangs is not too far, there are large continuous dark areas.

But this old woman's body has begun to decline, she has no Qi in her body, she is just an ordinary person, it is unlikely that she could cross those ditches, barbed wire, and landmines.

A sentence from Thomas echoed in Wang Jixuan's heart:

'They can continuously expand their territory downwards, digging tunnels.'

Digging tunnels?

Wang Jixuan looked down at his feet, closed his eyes and sensed, and ten meters below his feet, a two-meter-high arched tunnel gradually revealed its presence.

There really is a tunnel…

"Hello! My name is Yezi!"

A slender hand, too pale due to long-term lack of light, entered Wang Jixuan's sight.

Wang Jixuan raised his eyes and saw a delicate, clean face with a smile.

Thomas had introduced her earlier, her name is Yezi, she is the leader of this group of orphans, thirteen years old this year, and she is already quite tall as she enters puberty.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Tian."

Wang Jixuan shook his head with a smile: "Men and women should keep their distance."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Yezi blinked and looked Wang Jixuan up and down, asking softly:

"Are you really from Mid City?"

"Yes," Wang Jixuan responded softly.

"Is Mid City full of lights everywhere? Can you see light everywhere?"

"Almost," Wang Jixuan nodded in response, trying to make himself appear more talkative, "But in many places the lights are also at the lowest brightness, and they look a bit dim."

"That's much better than here, many places have no light... Does Mid City also regularly receive anti-darkness drugs and vitamins?"

"Anti-darkness drugs are received regularly, vitamins have to be bought with quotas," Wang Jixuan explained, "And vitamins are classified as food quotas."

Yezi made a few inexplicable sounds of admiration.

Then, wanting to warm up the atmosphere, she couldn't find a suitable topic.

After a while, Yezi asked again: "Do you want to sit down and rest?"

"It's okay."

"Why did you come down here? Isn't Mid City great?"

"I was framed and offended the powerful," Wang Jixuan still remembered the script Thomas had given him.

Yezi whispered: "Wow, just like offending those gangs here... I really hope you can stay."

Wang Jixuan was a little puzzled: "Why?"

"That way you can help me with the work!"

Yezi said softly:

"I have to learn so many things every day, learn arithmetic, learn world geography, and also clean the first and second floors, and help Mom take care of the younger ones. Bathing them is the most tiring."

"As soon as I open my eyes, I have to be busy with all kinds of things, and I can't go out to play."

She lowered her head and complained, her ponytail swaying gently.

Wang Jixuan noticed that there was a barcode tattoo on the back of Yezi's neck that had been mostly worn away.

He asked: "Can you introduce your adoptive mother?"

"Of course! Mom is everyone's mom, she has lived here for a long time, before the Wanlijin Gang was even established, and has helped more than three hundred children in total! More than three hundred!"

When Yezi spoke of these things, there was a gleam in her eyes, and she emphasized the number.

"Although she looks like she has a bad temper, she is actually very gentle at heart. She will stay by our side all night when we are sick."

"Before I was five or six years old, I was on the Blackfire Gang's side, treated like livestock, as an organ reserve for the officials and nobles in Upper City. If those old people's organs failed, I might have my organs removed."

"Later, during a gang conflict, people from Wanlijin rescued me... Many of us were rescued."

"Look at me here, the barcode here is proof of Blackfire Gang material. When I was a child, Mom used a lot of effort to rub it off for me when I took a bath."

"Then, Mom raised me, taught me to read, and told me a lot about how to be a good person. Mom often says that even if we are in the dark, we cannot give up hope. As long as we keep holding hands, even if we are just weak individuals, we can change the world step by step."

Wang Jixuan nodded and raised his eyebrows: "Very reasonable."

He glanced at the study, his gaze slightly complicated.

A person's pupils cannot lie, Yezi's eyes are pure, kind, and without any murderous aura.

The elderly woman inside, Kong Lianmei, who is '69 years old' and has Wen Heisen's aura, also has no murderous aura.

What is murderous aura?

In short, there will be murderous aura after killing someone. The malice emanating from within oneself and the resentment of the killed creatures intertwine with each other, and murderous aura will be born.

Many demonic techniques specifically cultivate murderous aura, and also use murderous aura to refine some vicious magic weapons such as the Myriad Souls Banner.

He must be full of murderous aura now, but... it seems that only he can sense this thing.

— Wang Daoren's exclusive interpretation rights.

So, what is going on? Who exactly is this old woman?

"What kind of work did you do in Mid City before?" Yezi asked softly.

Wang Jixuan casually replied: "Assembly line worker."

"Then I'll call you Brother Tian," Yezi muttered, "I really hope Brother Hua can convince Mom, I really need a household helper."

"Then you might not get your wish," Wang Jixuan smiled, "I might have to go out to work and earn some gang coins."

"Don't! Please!"

"I have to support myself."

The study door suddenly opened, and several eavesdropping children immediately fell over each other.

The latest and most popular novels are available on 69shuba!

Thomas winked at Wang Jixuan: "Done! You can live here! Later my mom will arrange a job for you, she has a wide network of local contacts, but two-thirds of the resources you earn will be used to buy food for the children, okay?"

Wang Jixuan nodded immediately: "Okay, this place is very good, and... very interesting."

Very good refers to the surrounding spiritual energy environment.

Interesting refers to the tunnel under his feet.

"Yay!"

Yezi cheered and jumped up.

Although most of the children didn't understand what was happening, the eldest sister had already started jumping, so they also jumped up.

"Mission accomplished! Bang bang bang bang!"

Thomas cheered, pointed two index fingers at Wang Jixuan, and then swayed his sexy big butt towards the dining table, his body constantly swaying with the rhythm of his mouth.

It can be seen that he is really relaxed here.

"Yezi, go fry me some donuts! I'm leaving after I eat them!"

Yezi grabbed Wang Jixuan's arm and dragged him to the kitchen next door: "Go help me! The rule in the kitchen is that those who work can sneak three bites!"

Wang Jixuan smiled wryly.

She is really lively.

This was the first time Wang Jixuan had eaten pure flour donuts since coming to this world.

Yezi's skills were very good.

Thomas hurriedly left after eating two donuts. Something happened at his shop in the Freak Zone of Joy City. It seemed that someone was making trouble.

Thomas also had to put on that enchanting makeup on the way back.

While Wang Daoren was tasting the fried pastries, the diligent little Yezi had already brought several eight or nine-year-old younger siblings to clean his room in the corner of the second floor.

His room was across from the girls' rooms, and there would inevitably be some noise on weekdays.

But fortunately, Wang Jixuan was not picky about this, he usually meditated instead of sleeping.

He was now very interested in the hostess here, the 'elderly' Kong Lianmei, who was sixty-nine years old.

The underground passage;

A kind old grandmother who has lived here and constantly rescues orphans;

The third leader of the Blackfire Gang, the aura of that hidden psychic Wen Heisen.

What kind of connection is hidden behind this?

His new room was not very big, only two meters long and wide. The roof sloped down from left to right, and he couldn't stand up straight near the outer wall. A narrow single bed plus a desk next to the bed had already filled two-thirds of the space here.

Several text posters were hung on the wall, with the big letters 'T.E.R' written on them.

Wang Ji Xuan didn't know what those three letters meant.

From Yezi's incessantly chattering mouth, he learned about the original owner of this room: a young man of twenty-four, who had left this big family three years ago to work for the Silver Party gang on the forty-sixth floor. The last time he came back was half a year ago, bringing them some soon-to-expire cosmetics and such.

Clean, old bedsheets were spread on the bed, and the weak light on the desk flickered feebly.

Wang Ji Xuan sat down, intending to meditate and experience the speed of cultivation.

Before going to Thomas's tavern, he had already sent his luggage to the forty-ninth floor, hiding it in an abandoned hut near the border of the Black Fire Gang's territory.

He planned to go over there later to retrieve some small items that wouldn't attract attention.

Knock, knock!

A sound came from the drafty door, and a pair of bright, sparkling eyes peered through the crack.

Wang Ji Xuan said, "Please come in."

Squeak—

Yezi, carrying a few loose cotton and linen clothes, skipped in, placing the clothes and two pairs of patched cloth shoes on the bed.

"I saw you didn't have any luggage, so I helped you find some of my brothers' old clothes and shoes. They should be about your size. If they're too small, I'll go exchange them! There are plenty in the basement."

Yezi instructed:

"But you have to cherish them. After you leave, I still have to wash them clean and put them away."

Wang Ji Xuan smiled knowingly, "Thank you."

"Hehe, then you rest. I'm going to give the little ones a bath now."

Yezi waved her hand, her ponytail swaying slightly, and quickly left.

'Quite the lovely little girl.'

Wang Ji Xuan thought simply. It was truly rare to see such a maiden with undiminished spirit in this place.

He just didn't know how long Little Yezi's vibrancy could be preserved.

Knock, knock.

The sound of knocking on the wall came from the doorway.

He felt it again… that wisp of aura that was about to dissipate completely.
