Chapter 123 Unrealistic Wishes

"Oh my... a cheap commission."

"Let's settle our grudges ourselves," Shi Yuchuanqi calmly carried the girl's body away, "and pay ten times the damage."

Qianqiao Shenshu on the side also restrained the smile on his face, "My friend, we are all gangsters, even if we want to destroy the place, there is no need to be so fast, right?"

Feeling the undisguised malice in the other party, he let out a threatening growl, and his hair stood on end.

"No, that's not what I meant." Ling waved his hand, picked up the kitten with its fur standing up, and smoothed its fur. "You said before that it was a big fish you picked up, right? Can you tell me the details?"

Qianqiao Shenshu raised his eyebrows, and the hostility around him suddenly decreased, "Brother, your behavior is not wise."

"Like you said, we are all out to make a living, there is no need to make things difficult for each other," Ling laughed softly, carefully putting the half of the small sentence into his arms, "and if it weren't for you, she would have been picked up by someone else. The one who changed her fate was the one who forced her to be picked up as a commodity."

“Oh, you’re surprisingly easy to talk to, little brother!” Qianqiao Shenshu laughed loudly, but his eyes remained calm. “Well, it doesn’t matter if you tell me. Many people have seen it anyway. Just consider it a favor to you, little brother.”

"I'd better pay the reward," Ling put the bag of money he got from Dongyun yesterday on the table, "After all, it's hard to repay a favor."

"Eh... so cold and sophisticated." Although he said so, Qianqiao Shenshu took the purse without hesitation, weighed it for a few times and said, "I found the child at the waste disposal area on Huajie. His limbs were broken, and his body was rotten. He was thrown into the waste disposal area naked. If his face was not intact, I probably wouldn't have picked up this fish - well, that's all I know."

Ling tilted his head slightly, "About what time today?"

"Hmm - probably around sunset? Because it's at the top, it should have been abandoned not long ago." Qianqiao Shenshu supported his chin with one hand and swung his purse with the other hand. "By the way, today's sunset is a bright red, it's really beautiful."

"I see..." Ling stood up, smiled and nodded to the Thousand Bridges Divine Tree, "Thank you for the hospitality."

Just as he reached the door, he heard a slightly dull sound of breaking air behind him. Ling caught it with his backhand, and it turned out to be the purse that he had just thrown to the Qianqiao Divine Tree.

Ling was a little confused. He turned around and raised his purse towards the bar. Qianqiao Shenshu's voice came, "I can tell you're inexperienced. A man goes to a red-light district without money. He'll be looked down upon."

Ling paused, a hint of doubt in his voice, "This is a loss-making business where you can't pay back the money."

Qianqiao Shenshu looked at Ling, sneered and picked up the wine glass, "Although I think it's extremely stupid, I respect people who can keep such stupidity and kindness... Goodbye, little brother."

"That's really grateful," Ling laughed, put the purse on his waist, pushed the door open and walked out, leaving only his voice, "Please remember to reserve a room for me, boss. I don't want to sleep on the street after a busy day."

When Yu Chuanqi came back after dealing with the goods, he just raised his eyelids. Seeing that the door was closed tightly, he sat back on his small stool, picked up the newspaper, and continued reading from the part he had not finished just now.

But someone didn't want him to be alone. The voice of Qianqiao Shenshu sounded again, "Hey, Boss Shiyu, do you think I have a chance to kidnap that cold and naive kid? He is definitely a top-notch item."

Shi Yuchuanqi raised his eyelids again, and did not think there was anything wrong with this kind of question where they were helping each other one second and calculating the value the next. He just said calmly, "Then I will accept the money you deposited here as funeral expenses."

"Too much! My funeral expenses are not enough to cover that much..."

Shi Yuchuanqi lowered his eyes to read the newspaper again, but his voice was very low, "Your eyes are wasted, can't you see the round fan pattern on the inside of that boy's collar? You dare to touch any goods without fear of getting into trouble."

Qianqiao Shenshu's expression suddenly became dull. After a while, he lowered his voice and said, "Hiss - although the quality is indeed good, this doesn't look like those crazy guys. Don't bluff me after all these years of friendship."

"Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, get out of here."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so cold."

……

After walking a distance from the inn, Youlu, who was lying on Ling's head, stretched out his paw and patted Ling's forehead, "You seem to like to meddle in other people's business, kid."

"Well, it's not wrong to say that I'm nosy..." Ling's voice was still gentle, but there was no smile on his face, "But sometimes I can't help it."

“Why do you care about this?” Youlv wagged his tail, and the beads tied to the end of his tail swung back and forth. “Although I hate the malice of those people, I also know that for you humans, this kind of behavior of standing up for others for no reason is simply stupid to a certain extent... You don’t seem like that kind of guy.”

Ling was silent for a moment before speaking, "Xiao You should have said that, right? Humans are hypocritical creatures, and I am no exception...

I can obviously slaughter the weak for my own benefit, without caring whether the other party has a family, has any difficulties, or is innocent.

But I just can't stand people bullying the weak just for fun, so every time I encounter such a situation, I will feel angry involuntarily, and even do something inappropriate to my status under certain circumstances..."

Youlu thought of the half-ball that bounced over and jumped from Ling's head to his shoulder, "It's really hard not to think too much..."

Ling smiled and rubbed Youlv's chin with his fingers, "In my opinion, whether it is fighting with the strong or taking away the right to survive of the weak, as long as this matter involves life, it must be taken seriously and not be taken lightly.

So I cannot understand or accept the wanton taking of other creatures’ lives just for fun.”

Youlv paused for a moment, "Other creatures? Should it be other people?"

"No, it's just other creatures." Ling shook his head, "Humans are not much more noble than other creatures. They are all creatures that rely on deprivation to survive.

For an executioner like me who can take the lives of others without feeling the slightest bit of guilt, it is only natural that I die at the hands of someone else one day."

Youlu could feel that Ling's words were completely sincere, and because of this, it couldn't help but fall silent.

Although it likes humans, its power is too strong. People who approach it either want to obtain its power, or simply want to hunt exotic beasts and become famous. After the old man, it has not even met anyone who has no ill will towards it.

As a result, every time it trusted humans, it would not end well - there were even a few times when it was forced to be reborn.

Therefore, in its long life, it has committed many acts of intentional destruction of towns and massacres, first in revenge against those who caused it to be reborn, and later simply for fun.

It's just like how many humans abuse cats and dogs simply for fun - no one cares how creatures that are much weaker than themselves feel when they are abused.

"Very hypocritical, isn't it?" Ling's voice brought Youlv back to his senses. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, but he still spoke in a gentle voice, "You are obviously a madman among madmen who loves fighting and can take other people's lives without a care, but you just hope that someone can come and control this world that can deprive people of their lives at will..."

Youlu was silent for a long time before speaking, "It's really an unrealistic wish."
