The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 89
After a few days, Hu Niu finally managed to learn a few words. The words he spoke the most were "meat", and then "kill", and also "Ling Han". He had only managed to learn these three phrases, which brought the total vocabulary to just four words.
But, at least he now knew that "Hu Niu" was his name, and would raise his head in response when he heard it.
He still did not like to walk on two legs, but Ling Han had a great influence on him, causing him to involuntarily imitate his actions. By the time the four of them reached the imperial city, the wild little girl was finally used to walking on her feet. But when there was no one else, he would still walk on all fours. And he was extremely fast, as if he was a ferocious tiger that had finally escaped from his cage.
His dislike for wearing clothes did not change. The new clothes, after only a few days, would be torn to shreds by his hands, causing Ling Han and Liu Yu Tong to feel extremely irritated — even though Ling Zi Xuan was extremely envious of this, he said, because Hu Niu would be able to often get new clothes.
Entering the city actually required a silver coin entrance fee. Since the four of them, they had to pay four silver coins. Although this was a small sum for Ling Han, but taking into account how many travelers entered and exited this city every day, the money that came just from collecting the entrance fee would definitely be an incredible fortune.
What a good life to be Emperor. I'm building this road, so if you want to get in, you have to pay. Absolutely fair.
After the four of them entered the city, it was noon, so they decided to find a place to eat lunch first before going to report at Hu Yang Academy.
"Meats! The meat! The meat!" Hu Niu sat down solemnly, saliva had already started dripping from his mouth.
Ling Han did not look at the menu, and simply said to the waiter, "Serve anything good, but there must be plenty of meat!"
"All right!" The waiter answered before leaving.
At first there were not many customers in the restaurant, but since delicious dish after dish was served at their table, it was also soon approaching the time when the majority of people would be eating. The number of customers in the restaurant gradually increased, making the atmosphere even more lively.
Hu Niu did not bother to use any chopsticks. He would only grab and grab a whole chicken or duck, and in a few moments, he would completely devour it. He really has an incredible appetite.
"Aren't you afraid your hands are dirty!" Ling Han shook his head. She had taught him who knew how many times, yet this wild little girl continued to hate the use of chopsticks because it was too difficult to use.
Hu Niu only gave a giggle in response before continuing to devour the food in front of him.
Compared to him, Ling Zi Xuan was much more refined. He would only receive a small bite, and when he smiled, there would be no sign of his teeth. He had already learned the basic attitude of a daughter from the noble house.
"What a handsome young girl," an old voice sounded, causing Ling Han and Liu Yu Tong to turn their heads to look at the speaker.
It was an old man who seemed to be in his sixties. He was wearing a rich robe, and out of the ten fingers on his hand, there were rings on eight of them. He's obviously very rich. His eyes were focused entirely on Hu Niu and Ling Zi Xuan. His gaze was so strong that it was as if light could only be seen from his eyes.
"Are you two the parents of these two little girls?" The old man asked as he walked, but he immediately introduced himself afterwards, "I am Chen Yun Xiang, the shopkeeper at the Four Seas Business. I'm quite famous."
Liu Yu Tong shook his head, while Ling Han glanced at Chen Yun Xiang for a moment, and said, "We are not their parents, only their brothers."
Liu Yu Tong shook his head, while Ling Han glanced at Chen Yun Xiang for a moment, and said, "We are not their parents, only their brothers."
Ling Zi Xuan obediently smiled at the old man, and addressed him as Grandfather, while Hu Niu just kept thinking about eating. In his eyes, there was nothing more important than eating meat.
Chen Yun Xiang looked very fond of these two little girls. He continued to babble, causing Ling Zi Xuan to laugh continuously, while Hu Niu acted as if she had not heard him speak at all.
At first, Ling Han only thought that this old man liked children so much, so did not think too much about it. But the old man's gaze became increasingly strange, as if he was a wolf focusing its eyes on two sheep. His eyes were so green that they almost lit up, and Ling Han finally realized that they had met an old lecher, and the favorite targets of this old lecher were the little girls. [ED/N: Somehow his eyes are green, but that's what it says raw. .may refer to how the wolf's eyes should glow green in the dark]
"Come, let Grandpa see the palm line of your hand!" Chen Yun Xiang could not help but reach out to catch Ling Zi Xuan's small hand, revealing his true color of depraved persecutors.
"Pa!"
Chen Yun Xiang was not a martial artist, and as he was gripped by Ling Han's hand, he suddenly wailed due to the pain of such a tight grip. He only stopped when Ling Han threw it, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground. Raising his hand to take a look, there surprisingly appeared four finger marks on his wrist. The colors are so green that it looks like they will soon become bruised.
His expression also darkened as he gained a new fear in his heart for Ling Han, yet he was unwilling to give up on the two beautiful and cute little girls. So, she said, "They're not your daughter, why don't you just mention the price?"
Sparks of killing intent flashed across Ling Han's face, and he said, "Old servant, if you dare to say a word, I will kill you!"
Chen Yun Xiang was going to continue increasing his bid and try to convince Ling Han, but when he saw the killing intent on Ling Han's face, he couldn't help his heart tremble; he no longer dared to continue to make trouble. He quickly turned in the opposite direction and fled.
However, he would not give up so easily when he thought, 'Heng, you don't know what's good for you. Then I will just ask the help of the people from the Earth and Water Faction and take these two little girls from you! '
The old man staggered as he left, instantly causing the other customers in the restaurant to burst into laughter.
"Brother, that old man is a famous lecher, and his main target is the little girls. Were it not for him always using money to get what he wanted, who knew how many times he had been beaten to death, "one of the customers who recognized the old lecher said by shaking his head.
Ling Han did not take it too seriously. The old man was not a martial artist, so his social circle could only include ordinary people; his abilities were naturally limited. If Chen Yun Xiang continued to persist, not knowing what was good for him, Ling Han would definitely not be merciful.
Hu Niu very quickly ate his flesh, as if he was afraid that someone would quarrel with him. By the time Ling Han and the others had already eaten their fill, he was still eating, and his speed had not slowed down in the least.
Seeing this scene caused the customers in the restaurant to be very amazed. They could not understand how this little girl's tiny stomach was able to hold so much food.
Finally, a little more than two hours, the little girl finally patted her stomach a few times in satisfaction. He wriggled into Ling Han's embrace, and immediately began to snore.
He can eat a lot and sleep a lot.
Ling Han stood up to pay the bill. Over a thousand silver coins had been spent on this one meal — at least ninety percent of it was in Hu Niu's stomach, proving just how much expenditure this little girl was spending. Thankfully, since Ling Han had killed Hang Zhan, Ma Lang, and the others before, there was no shortage of money in his pocket.
The four of them exited the restaurant and continued their journey to Hu Yang Academy.

"There are two people following us," Liu Yu Tong said to Ling Han, after they walked for a while.
Ling Han nodded, and said, "I noticed. But I don't know if their target is our money ... or ours!"
If their target was them. . . .. ferocious light flashed in his eyes. Without a doubt, it was truly the lecherous antics of that old man, Chen Yun Xiang. . if that is indeed true, then don't blame him for being merciless.
"They're coming!" Liu Yu Tong said softly. Right now, the two of them had just walked into a small, secluded alley, with no one else around them. This was of course what Ling Han intentionally did.
Two strong men quickly ran towards them. When they reached Ling Han, one of them tried to bring Ling Zi Xuan along, while the other reached out towards Ling Han, intending to snatch Hu Niu who was still sleeping in his arms.
These two sturdy men were not martial artists. They were only slightly stronger than normal people. After all, out of every ten people, there would only be one who possessed Spirit Base, so martial artists were not really common.
Ling Han smiled. Not only did he not fight back, he even raised his hand slightly, allowing the man to easily snatch Hu Niu from his grasp.
The man could not help but be stunned for a moment. That kind of reaction was something he never even thought would happen.
Meanwhile, due to that movement, Hu Niu woke up. He was like a ferocious beast, and had a very wary nature. When he discovered that he was being held by an unknown man, a ferocious light immediately shone in his eyes.
