Golden Heavenly Mandate!
Currently, other than Ice Chunk, he has encountered the highest Heavenly Mandate!
He glanced at the data displayed by the Divine Eye of Destiny.
Then he looked at the little beggar lying there, barely breathing.
The contrast between these two situations was just too huge.
Confirming that he wasn’t seeing things, Li Mo stood there like he had been struck by lightning.
The little princess of the Imperial Family!
The Sword Embryo of the Heavens!
Little Li murmured these two descriptors in his heart, still a bit dazed.
Although Jiang Chulong had a golden Heavenly Mandate, she couldn’t compare to Ice Chunk, but the shock she brought him was still quite significant.
He didn’t know how many powerful figures were in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
But when it came to identity and status, who could compare to the One Above All?
No wonder.
Jiang Chulong had fallen to such a state, yet still maintained a golden Heavenly Mandate.
For others, just not being dead would be considered good fortune.
“She… must be the person Ice Chunk is looking for!”
Li Mo firmly concluded in his heart.
Then it dawned on him that when Ice Chunk said she would start searching, it wasn’t about lost family.
It was because she had seen Jiang Chulong at some point and knew her extraordinary nature, which led her to come searching.
“Brother Li, what’s wrong with you?”
Meng Can looked up, puzzled.
The other little beggars also looked over, some curious, some hopeful, some fearful.
“Ice Chunk, if you’re here, I swear I’ll give you a kiss…”
Li Mo reigned in his burning gaze.
It made more sense to think that someone of extraordinary caliber would appear around a girl with Heavenly Mandate.
“Brother Li, is the stuttering sister very sick?”
Meng Can thought Li Mo was taken aback by the stuttering sister’s condition, his little face filled with concern.
“I’ll take a look first.”
Li Mo suppressed the rising excitement in his heart and walked into the dilapidated house.
He placed his hand on Jiang Chulong’s delicate wrist and closed his eyes to sense her condition.
Her vitality was weak… internal organs were deteriorating… severe wind-cold… wound infection… chronic hunger leading to severe malnutrition…
At that moment, Jiang Chulong resembled a tattered doll, ready to fall apart at any moment.
If it were anyone else, they might have died long ago.
But Jiang Chulong’s situation was strange; every time her life force flickered like a candle in the wind, about to go out, there was an inexplicable force pulling her back.
“What sickness does the stuttering sister have?”
A careful voice inquired nearby.
Li Mo also softened his tone, warmly saying, “Her condition is quite complicated.”
“But, it can be treated.”
A golden Heavenly Mandate didn’t depict the foreboding black signs of d*ath.
Even if he didn’t take action, Jiang Chulong wouldn’t d*e; she just needed to undergo a long struggle.
After pondering for a moment, Li Mo took out the Fire Phoenix Feather pouch from around his neck, pried open her five fingers, and stuffed it inside.
“She can’t endure the extra nourishment from medicine right now.”
“This pouch will warm her body, and only when she is feeling better can we start with the treatment.”
Strangely enough, as soon as the Fire Phoenix Feather pouch was inside, Jiang Chulong’s breathing became slightly stronger.
She wasn’t sweating cold like before anymore.
Suddenly, Li Mo heard the system’s feedback prompt.
[Congratulations, Host, for investing in ‘Jiang Chulong’ with a ‘Fire Phoenix Feather’.]
[Investment Feedback: Spirit Milk from the Earth Vein.]
[Do you wish to claim it?]
“No.”
Li Mo silently thought, then looked to the side.
“The stuttering sister is saved!”
“Brother Li, your medical skills are amazing!”
“Abba Abba.”
The little beans all displayed surprised expressions, as if they had regained hope.
After exchanging glances, the oldest little beggar rushed outside.
When he returned, he was holding a chunk of yellow salt and nearly buried his head into his chest.
“Brother Li, we don’t have any money…”
“So you all planned to treat me to a meal?”
Li Mo couldn’t help but chuckle.
Looking at the well-dressed, handsome young man who looked like he had descended from the clouds, and then glancing at the cracked earthenware pot simmering with watery vegetable soup, the little beggars became increasingly flustered.
—
Meng Can had seen the most powerful figures, the ones patrolling the streets with their weapons, yet he had just witnessed a mighty officer trembling, unable to look the Brother Li in the eye, utterly humbled.
The food they usually ate was so bad that even wild dogs would refuse it, how could they serve it to Brother Li…
“This wild vegetable is a good thing, all-natural and unpolluted.”
“I usually don’t even get to eat this.”
With that, Ke Mo stepped up to the pot.
He poured some rice into the pot, and somehow, a piece of meat appeared in his hand, which he lightly flicked, turning it into meat soup.
“I haven’t cooked in two days, I’m not used to this at all.”
The little beggars were all stunned.
They never expected this big brother would shift gears like this and get so down-to-earth.
He was really at ease, cooking like it was nothing.
“Brother Ke, you’re from the Qingyuan Sect, do you often cook yourself?”
“Yeah, the food in the cafeteria is terrible.”
“Brother Ke, what are you making? It smells so good…”
“It’s wild vegetable and lean meat porridge, just kidding; my cooking skills are better than my medical skills by far.”
Ke Mo chuckled.
Just a moment ago, he had secretly added a Five Elements Purple Spirit Pill into the pot.
It’s a rare treasure that replenishes the body’s deficiencies, and its effects are mild enough for ordinary people who haven’t been tempered to take.
An ordinary one could be sold for five thousand silver in the market.
Not to mention, this one was a six-patterned one.
Of course, for these little beggars, this was not anything particularly rare.
—
Before long, the dilapidated yard was filled with the smoke from cooking.
“I’ve never eaten anything this good in my life.”
“Abba Abba!”
“I’m so full!”
“Wah wah wah, I miss my mommy…”
Ke Mo watched from a distance, a smile on his face, silently observing them drink their porridge.
[Name: Dazhu]
[Age: 8]
[Root Bone: None.]
[Realm: None.]
[Heavenly Mandate: Gray]
[Evaluation: Like wild grass, life is as light as a feather.]
[Recent Experience: With the help of Jiang Chulong, escaped the clutches of a tooth fairy, no longer living by stealing.]
This investment didn’t yield any substantial rewards.
After all, these little beggars had similar destinies as Dazhu.
But Ke Mo was in a good mood.
Suddenly—
He heard footsteps behind him.
Ke Mo turned his head.
There stood a blind beggar, leaning against the doorframe.
Though her eyes were covered with cloth, she could certainly sense the wary energy radiating from her.
“You… it’s you…”
“Hmm, the food is made by me, and the pouch is from me.”
Ke Mo quickly answered.
“What…?”
Gurgle——
Before Jiang Chulong could finish her sentence, her legs softened, and she almost fainted.
“Go eat first.”
“If your stomach isn’t full, there’s no point in worrying about anything else.”
Ke Mo couldn’t help but chuckle at the situation.
He could understand Jiang Chulong’s wariness.
She had been on the run, pursued by the Skywatch guards; anyone in her position would be on edge.
“Th-thank you…”
Jiang Chulong bit her lip, finally nodding.
Moments later, she appeared back, holding a bowl of porridge, the last remaining bowl from the pot.
“You… you eat first…”
Her stuttering voice was so lovely, it tugged at the heartstrings.
Ke Mo: “….”
This little beggar was making him a bit puzzled.
I mean, you’re so hungry you can’t even stand properly.
And yet you’re worried I haven’t eaten?
What on earth was this princess thinking…
