Chapter 453: Chapter 453 Yunlai Inn Chapter 453: Chapter 453 Yunlai Inn “What are you still doing standing there? Go find someone quickly.”
Chided by the Master, Long Yi quickly stood up, taking a few of his men with him, and dashed out of the Small Bamboo Forest as if his butt was on fire, mounting a fast horse and quickly disappearing.
As the lanterns were just lit, an unconscious girl lay on the bed in a room of an inn.
At the bedside, a small round table was occupied by a sinister-looking dwarf who comfortably sat on a stool, leisurely drinking tea.
He was completely unaware that beside him stood a little ghost girl, four or five years old, ceaselessly licking the tea from his cup with her tongue.
The moment Xuexue fainted, Xiao Taohong had noticed but was at a critical juncture in her training and couldn’t come out until she had just finished and floated out from the space to protect Xuexue.
It was just that the dwarf, with his mortal eyes, couldn’t see her and thought he had carried out his actions undetected, feeling quite pleased with himself.
Xuexue came to from her groggy state and opened her eyes, a moment of confusion flickering across her vision.
“Master.” Xiao Taohong immediately floated over to her side.
“Don’t talk, there are other people in the room! Just listen to me, that dwarf drugged you and brought you to the County Town, now you are in a room on the second floor of Yunlai Inn.”
Xuexue’s consciousness began to clear, and she remembered that she had been drinking tea and eating a pancake by the roadside when suddenly she felt the world spin and then knew nothing more–she had been drugged by this bastard.
Lying on the bed, Xuexue turned her head slightly and saw the dwarf not far away, sitting on a stool drinking tea. With her previous experience, although she still harbored a surging hatred, she controlled herself very well this time, showing no expression on her face.
The dwarf was highly skilled in martial arts, and his composure wasn’t lacking either; he had sensed her waking up the moment it happened.
“Miss, you’re finally awake?”
With a teacup in hand, the dwarf, dragging his malformed legs, came to the bedside, his face displaying a sinister and terrifying smile.
Xuexue looked at the dwarf and calmly asked.
Her composure was as if she were chatting with an ordinary person, greatly surprising the dwarf. Usually, everyone who saw him either screamed in panic or ran away as if they’d seen a ghost–no one talked to him calmly like she did.
The dwarf’s eyes, small like mung beans, stared at Xuexue with a chilling gaze: “Aren’t you afraid of me?”
“Why should I be afraid of you?”
Having been taken aback at the surprise of seeing him last time, filled with loathing she couldn’t control herself. After returning, she resolved to not let such a thing happen again; if she couldn’t learn to endure, how would she face even greater enemies in the future, and talk about revenge?
The dwarf was born deformed, abandoned by his parents at birth due to his hideous appearance. Growing up among beggars, he endured ridicule and hunger; often, while other beggars received food, he was left empty-handed.
Why? Because of his hideous appearance! People who saw his ghostly face either cursed and beat him, chasing him away, or were frightened away by him–no one would give him food.
Over time, one day, overwhelmed by hunger, he fainted on the street and was picked up by his Master, who took him back to the mountain and began teaching him martial arts.
The dwarf worked hard, practicing his martial arts diligently until he mastered a formidable set of skills.
Perhaps due to past grievances, he harbored deep resentment. Since descending from the mountain, anyone who dared provoke him was shown no mercy, and his attacks were lethal.
