This female leader is a little bit stronger

Ning Ye jumped off its back.

I glanced at the crowd in front of me and suddenly thought of what happened last night and just now.

People's hearts are not enough.

It is indeed a bit eye-catching to parade around town with Yoyo, this cash cow.

It would be nice if we could change it up.

Ning Ye thought of the new skill [Calling a Stag a Horse].

Deer... should be considered a thing...

Ning Ye pinched her chin and looked at Youyou. Youyou looked at her, and for some reason, she felt that this girl was holding her fart.

"You're a cockatiel! You're a cockatiel! You're a cockatiel!"

Ning Ye suddenly pointed at Youyou and shouted three times.

Yoyo was startled, and before she could react, a white mist suddenly emerged from under her feet, blocking her vision.

When the white mist dissipated, the little man Ning Ye in its eyes suddenly turned into the giant Ning Ye!

"YoYo!"

It was startled, its limbs trembled, and with the sound of a palm-leaf fan, it spiraled into the sky!

"Wow!" Ning Ye clapped his hands and watched it darting around in the air. He couldn't help but praise it: "I'm so awesome~"

……

It took a long time for Youyou to adapt to her new identity, and she squatted dejectedly on Ning Ye's shoulder.

Ning Ye turned his face to the side, stroked its head with his hand, and poked its round pink "blush", feeling extremely satisfied.

……

During the severe drought, Qiyuan Town was closed and no one was allowed to enter for free.

Mortals have to pay silver when entering, while cultivators have to pay spirit crystals.

"Please let me in to beg for food. My whole family is starving..."

"Get out! If you don't have money, get out now!"

"..."

On the side of the team, there were many mortals who had no money to enter the town.

They were dressed in rags, with protruding cheeks, and were fleeing from disaster.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters cannot be eliminated no matter what era.

Ning Ye kept looking straight ahead, following the team indifferently. When she arrived, she gave the gatekeeper one or two spirit crystals in exchange for smooth entry.

The town is quite prosperous.

There are many shops and vendors on both sides of the street, and people coming and going.

Monks and mortals live together here.

In the resource-poor Qiyuan Town, most cultivators are actually about as strong as ordinary warriors, and have just started to condense their Qi. Even if they walk around in a swagger, they are not much respected by mortals.

Before Ning Ye came into Qiyuan Town, his cultivation level was disguised as the entry level of Qi Condensation.

After walking around, I didn't find any powerful monks.

"No wonder the Seven Yuan Five Tigers with such cultivation levels can become local tyrants." Ning Ye thought to himself.

Suddenly sensing someone looking at him from behind, Ning Ye calmly walked to a vendor's stall and glanced back while picking out items.

Behind her, a thin and cunning man looked at her for a long time with ill intentions, then went into an alley and disappeared.

Ning Ye frowned, "Why am I being targeted again?"

"Little girl, why are you going out alone?"

The person who spoke was the hawker owner.

Ning Ye looked at his stall for a long time but showed no intention of buying anything. Instead of getting angry, the vendor kindly reminded him, "The streets are not safe. Go home quickly."

Hmm??? Unsafe?

Ning Ye tilted his head, realizing that this was a good time to inquire about the news.

Blinking, he revealed the innocence and clarity that befitted his twelve-year-old age. "With so many people on the street, how could it be unsafe?"

"Hey! ... Go home quickly."

Seeing someone coming quickly, the vendor didn't dare to say anything. He quickly packed up his stall and moved away.

Ning Ye was about to turn around when someone suddenly grabbed his arm.

The other party was a strange woman, who started to howl: "Girl, how can you be so ignorant? You ran away from home after I scolded you. You are tearing out your mother's heart!"

Ning Ye’s inner thoughts:???

This familiar routine...

Suddenly I understood.

Ning Ye got into the role in a second, and showed a panicked look like a deer, "You, you are not my mother!"

"You little bitch, when you get so willful, you don't even recognize your parents!"

At this time, another big man rushed forward, raised his hand and slapped Ning Ye in the face.

Ning Ye dodged in shock and actually managed to avoid it.

Yoyo, who had been squatting on Ning Ye's shoulder, seemed to be frightened and flew away with a flap of its wings.

"My parrot!" Ning Ye put on a full show and wanted to chase it anxiously.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly hugged her tightly with her arms and shouted at the big man: "Hit, hit, hit! All you know is hitting your daughter. How many times have you scared your daughter away? Don't be afraid, come home with me. I won't let your father hit you!"

As he spoke, he covered the wound with the handkerchief in his hand.

Smelling the pungent smell of medicine on the handkerchief, Ning Ye not only did not hide, but also pretended to be knocked unconscious and leaned softly in the woman's arms.

None of the passersby nearby felt anything was wrong and they all thought they were a family.

Ning Ye was taken to a yard by them. When the door of the woodshed was opened, the woman threw her in without any courtesy.

"Damn girl, this is so heavy!"

Clapping her hands in disgust, the woman slammed the door shut and locked it.

Turning around, the woman scolded, "You stinking lazy bastard! You didn't even help me carry it all the way here! You've exhausted me to death!"

The big man chuckled, "I'm not saying you have to make this trip. How much can such an ugly girl be sold for?"

"You know shit! This girl has practiced cultivation, even though she's just at the beginning. But do you know what that means? Spiritual roots! She has spiritual roots! That's what's valuable!"

"No way? Such an ugly girl actually has spiritual roots?"

The big man was a little skeptical, after all, he didn't have it.

The woman scolded him again.

At this time, the two human traffickers had already entered the house, the sound was no longer clear, and Ning Ye stopped eavesdropping.

She got up from the ground and looked around.

She was not the only one in the woodshed.

There were also a few children with snotty noses and tears, sitting together sobbing, crying and looking at her, the newcomer.

A slightly older child sat alone in another corner, with his legs bent and his arms clasped on his knees. His face was dirty, but he had a pair of unbelievably beautiful eyes, which revealed a deep and cold expression that was out of place in the situation.

Ning Ye raised his eyebrows.

Hey~~Isn’t this a little beggar!

The little deceitful beggar who was sitting on the roadside yesterday and deliberately pointed him in the wrong direction!

After grinding my teeth, I wondered if I should teach him a lesson?

The little beggar stayed alone quietly all the time, ignoring the outside world and ignoring anyone.

He didn't even look at Ning Ye when he was thrown in.

Of course, maybe even if he saw her, he wouldn't recognize her.

Yesterday he hadn't even looked up at the man who asked for directions. Of course, he remembered the voice.

Ning Ye said nothing, dusted off his body, and with the expectant eyes of the little slugs, he left them and was alone and quiet.

When there are no adults around, younger children tend to rely on older children.

But Ning Ye doesn't like to coax children.

She was checking the tasks again.
