Chapter 61
**Chapter 56: Investing in the Strange Princess Jiang Chulong**
Golden destiny!
So far, aside from the Ice Block, this was the highest destiny he had encountered!
Li Mo glanced at the data displayed by the Destiny Eye.
Then he looked at the frail little beggar lying there, barely breathing.
The contrast between the two was staggering.
Confirming that he wasn’t seeing things, Li Mo stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.
The little daughter of the Emperor of the Great Yu!
A natural sword embryo!
Li Mo murmured these two descriptors in his heart, still somewhat dazed.
Although Jiang Chulong had a golden destiny, it didn’t quite match the Ice Block, but the shock it brought him was no less significant.
He had no idea how many powerful beings existed in the world.
But when it came to status, who could rival the supreme ruler?
No wonder.
Jiang Chulong had fallen to such a state yet still retained her golden destiny.
For anyone else, just surviving would be considered good fortune.
“She... must be the one Ice Block is looking for!”
Li Mo was almost certain.
He also realized that Ice Block wasn’t searching for lost relatives.
Instead, it was because he had encountered Jiang Chulong at some point and recognized her extraordinary nature that he had come to find her.
“Li Ge, what’s wrong?”
Meng Can looked up, puzzled.
The other little beggars also glanced over, some with curiosity, some with hope, and others with fear.
“Ice Block, if you’re here, I’ll definitely give you a kiss…”
Li Mo withdrew his intense gaze.
It made sense that someone extraordinary would appear around the daughter of destiny.
“Li Ge, is the stuttering sister very sick?”
Meng Can thought Li Mo was shocked by the stuttering sister’s condition, his little face full of concern.
“I’ll take a look first.”
Li Mo suppressed the surging emotions within him 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 vital energy was weak... her organs were failing... severe wind-cold... wound infection... serious malnutrition from prolonged hunger...
At that moment, Jiang Chulong resembled a tattered doll, ready to fall apart at the slightest touch.
If it were anyone else, they would have likely died long ago.
But Jiang Chulong’s situation was strange; every time her life force flickered like a candle in the wind, a mysterious power would pull her back from the brink.
“What illness does the stuttering sister have?”
A cautious voice inquired nearby.
Li Mo softened his tone and replied gently, “Her condition is quite complex.”
“But it can be treated.”
The golden destiny did not show signs of impending death.
Even if he didn’t intervene, Jiang Chulong wouldn’t die; she would just have to endure a long struggle.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Mo took the fire sparrow feather pouch from around his neck, pried open her fingers, and placed it inside.
“She can’t handle medicinal supplements right now.”
“This pouch will nourish her body; once she’s a bit better, we can proceed with the treatment.”
Strangely enough, as soon as the fire sparrow feather pouch was in her possession, Jiang Chulong’s breathing became slightly stronger.
She no longer sweated coldly as she had before.
At the same time, a notification from the system echoed in Li Mo’s ears.
【Congratulations, host, you have invested in ‘Jiang Chulong’ with a ‘Fire Sparrow Feather’.】
【Investment feedback: Earth Vein Spirit Milk.】
【Would you like to claim it?】
“No.”
Li Mo silently thought, then looked to the side.
“The stuttering sister is saved!”
“Li Ge, your medical skills are amazing!”
“Abba abba.”
The little ones all showed expressions of delight, as if they had regained their sense of security.
After exchanging glances, the oldest little beggar ran outside.
When he returned, he held a piece of yellow salt, his head nearly buried in his chest.
“Li Ge, we don’t have any money…”
“So you’re planning to treat me to a meal?”
Li Mo couldn’t help but smile.
He looked at the well-dressed, handsome youth, as if he had descended from the clouds, then glanced at the broken pot outside, simmering a thin soup of wild vegetables. The little beggars were increasingly at a loss.
Meng Can had only ever seen the most formidable figures as the street patrollers with knives, yet just now, he had witnessed the imposing patroller not even daring to meet Li Ge’s gaze, utterly humbled.
The food they usually ate was something even wild dogs would disdain; how could they serve it to Li Ge…
“This wild vegetable is a good thing, all-natural and pollution-free.”
“I can’t usually get any.”
Saying this, Li Mo walked over to the pot.
He added a suitable amount of rice, and somehow, a piece of meat appeared in his hand, which he gently transformed into diced meat.
“I haven’t cooked in two days; I’m really not used to it.”
The little beggars were all stunned.
They never expected this big brother to change his demeanor so dramatically, so down-to-earth.
He really seemed to be cooking with ease.
“Li Ge, do you often cook at Qingyuan Sect?”
“Yeah, the cafeteria food is terrible.”
“Li Ge, what are you making? It smells so good…”
“Wild vegetable and lean meat porridge. Just kidding, my cooking skills are way better than my medical skills.”
Li Mo chuckled.
He had just secretly added a Five Elements Purple Spirit Pill to the pot.
It was a precious item for replenishing the body’s deficiencies, and its effects were gentle enough for ordinary people who hadn’t undergone refinement to consume.
A single ordinary one could sell for five thousand taels of silver in the market.
And this one was a six-patterned pill.
Of course, for Li Mo, this wasn’t anything extraordinary.
...
Before long, smoke began to rise from the dilapidated courtyard.
“I’ve never eaten anything this good in my life.”
“Abba abba!”
“I’m so full!”
“Wuwuwu, I miss my mother…”
Li Mo stood not far away, a smile on his lips, silently watching them drink their porridge.
【Name: Da Zhu】
【Age: 8】
【Root Bone: None.】
【Realm: None.】
【Destiny: Gray】
【Evaluation: As fragile as wild grass, as light as a feather.】
【Recent Encounter: Escaped the clutches of the toothy beast with Jiang Chulong’s help, no longer living by theft.】
This investment didn’t yield any substantial returns.
After all, these little beggars had destinies similar to Da Zhu’s.
But Li Mo was in a good mood.
Suddenly—
A sound of footsteps came from behind him.
Li Mo turned around.
He saw a beggar girl, her eyes covered with a cloth, leaning against the doorframe.
Though he couldn’t see her eyes, he could clearly sense her wariness.
“You… it’s you…”
“Yeah, I made the food, and the pouch is from me.”
Li Mo answered quickly.
“Why…”
Gululu—
Before Jiang Chulong could finish her sentence, her legs buckled, and she nearly fainted.
“Just eat first.”
“If your stomach isn’t full, what else matters?”
Li Mo chuckled softly.
He could understand Jiang Chulong’s caution.
After fleeing and being pursued by the Sky Patrol, anyone would be on edge.
“Th... thank you…”
Jiang Chulong bit her lip and finally nodded.
A moment later, she returned, holding a bowl of porridge, the last remaining bowl from the pot.
“You… you eat first…”
Her stuttering voice was quite pleasant, evoking a sense of pity.
Li Mo: “…”
This left Li Mo a bit bewildered.
Wait, you can barely stand from hunger.
And you’re worried I haven’t eaten?
What on earth is this princess thinking…
**Chapter 57: Cross-Server Dialogue and the Terrifying Effect of Earth Vein Spirit Milk**
A quarter of an hour later.
Not far away, Jiang Chulong held the broken bowl, licking the bottom like a little cat, her dirty face finally relaxing a bit.
