Weapon Master

Chapter 165 - Picking up a Little Sister!

The night was dark and there was a bonfire lit in a forest cave not far from the peak of the Blood Flame Mountain.

Above the bonfire, a skinned wolf had been roasted until it was golden. Oil kept seeping out and dripping into the fire, making sizzling sounds. Unknowingly, the fragrance had filled the entire space inside the cave and was spreading outside.

Beside the bonfire, Tang Huan was seated cross legged.

After staying in the Phoenix Lair for such a long time, he had not eaten anything, nor did he feel hungry. However, not long after he left the Phoenix Lair, Tang Huan’s stomach immediately rumbled. When he walked out of the cave, it was already late at night. The first thing Tang Huan did was to kill a wild wolf, turning it into its current state.

On the other side, Mu Yan was sitting with his arms around his knees. From time to time, he would glance at Tang Huan with eyes that contained unconcealable rage.

Not far away, Xiao Budian was not interested in the meat that was almost cooked at all. He chattered non-stop as his chubby body expanded and contracted at times.

Xiao Budian was obviously very pleased with its reaction.

As a result, Xiao Budian would occasionally extend his little pair of wings and flutter about in the air. He even signaled the Rainbow Spirit Mouse to climb on his back and play with him.

Seeing the two little fellows’s appearances, Tang Huan couldn’t help but laugh and move the roasted wild wolves away from the bonfire.

”Catch!”

Tang Huan did not care about the heat, and directly tore off one of the wolf leg and threw it towards Mu Yan, but just as Tang Huan tore off the other leg, and was about to devour it, he suddenly frowned, and in a blink of an eye he looked towards the hole a few metres away, and a puzzled look surfaced on his face.

Mu Yan who had just caught the wolf leg also sensed something and also looked towards the cave entrance.

”Come out!”

Tang Huan, who was having fun, and the Rainbow Spirit Mouse were shocked at the same time, and their four eyes started rolling towards them.

A few moments later, a familiar sound could be heard from outside the cave, followed by a small figure emerging from the thick grass.

Tang Huan was shocked, it turned out to be a young child who was only one or two years old.

His smooth and small body was covered in dirt and sand, and his face was similarly grayish. Although he couldn’t see it clearly, the outline of his facial features was extremely exquisite, especially his pair of black eyes.

”How can there be such a small child here?”

Tang Huan was extremely shocked, this was already the deepest part of Feng Ming Mountain, so this child definitely would not be able to run in by himself, it was highly likely that his parents brought him here.

In this area, anything could happen. Perhaps his parents were killed by their enemies, or perhaps his parents met with some unexpected accident, causing them to be unable to leave in time. As a result, he was left alone … In a split-second, Tang Huan had already imagined many different scenarios.

Mu Yan also opened her red lips slightly, her face filled with surprise. In the depths of Feng Ming Mountain, the chances of seeing such a child was no less than that of a sow climbing a tree.

”Yiya?” ”Squeak squeak?”

Xiao Budian and the Rainbow Spirit Mouse tilted their heads as they looked at each other, seemingly extremely curious.

The toddler also seemed to have smelled the fragrance that drifted out from the cave as he gulped down saliva. He looked pitifully at Tang Huan and then at the wolf leg in his hand that was roasted golden.

”Come here.”

The young child’s eyes, which were mixed with desire and fear, made Tang Huan’s heartstrings twitch uncontrollably. He subconsciously revealed a kind smile, waved at the young child outside the cave, and then waved the fragrant wolf leg in his hand. Perhaps it was because of the death of his little sister in his previous life, but Tang Huan did not have much resistance towards a child like this. Since he had met her, it was impossible for him to ignore her.

Due to the temptation of the food and the urge of hunger, the child finally began to stagger forward. However, his eyes still showed caution and wariness. His situation was not right, and he immediately slipped away.

His appearance was somewhat comical.

Since a young child who had just learned his language had been discovered, if someone truly wanted to harm him, what was the use of him being on guard? However, not only did Tang Huan not laugh, he felt even more pity. This little fellow had probably lived alone in the forest for quite some time and also encountered many dangers before it finally became like this.

After entering the cave, the child’s footsteps uncontrollably sped up, only slowing down when he was close to Tang Huan.

Tang Huan tore a small piece of meat from the wolf leg and handed it over.

Just as his fingers were about to touch the meat, he suddenly accelerated, snatched the meat, and ran out of the cave. He accidentally somersaulted, but got up and continued to run until he was out of the cave, observing the situation inside while wolfing down his food. Not long later, the child had finished eating and looked towards Tang Huan again.

Tang Huan felt a little sour in his nose. With his strength, he could easily catch the child and fill him up in one go. However, in the end, Tang Huan did not choose to do so. He only lured him in again and again with the meat strips, so that he could gradually let his guard down.

After nearly fifteen minutes, the child finally had complete trust in Tang Huan, and entered the cave, sitting down beside him. Another fifteen minutes later, the child with a round belly, wrapped up in Tang Huan’s clothes, fell into a deep sleep beside the bonfire.

Xiao Budian and the Rainbow Spirit Mouse were squatting beside the baby.

The Rainbow Spirit Mouse was still alright, it followed beside Mu Yan. It seemed that Xiao Budian had seen many of these children, but he had totally become a country bumpkin, rolling his eyes and sizing up the entire place. This sudden appearance of a child, had obviously made it feel a sense of novelty.

”Father!”

In his sleep, the toddler smacked his small mouth and let out a baby-voice and a muffled cry. ”Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo …”

Hearing this word, Tang Huan was stunned, then laughed: ”Looks like my luck today wasn’t that bad. First I had a strong follower, then I picked up such a cute daughter.” He had already discovered that the child was a girl, not a boy.

”Humph!”

Mu Yan snorted coldly, then closed his eyes.

Tang Huan also did not mind, he only laughed, and in the blink of an eye, he looked at the little girl who was sleeping soundly. After a long while, Xiao Budian also opened his stomach, sprawled out next to the bonfire, and the Rainbow Spirit Mouse was curled up into a ball, lying on its stomach.

The cave quieted down completely, and the only sound that could be heard was the crackling of the sparks.

After a long while, the sleeping girl rolled over, her eyes quietly opening a small crack, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over the wooden chest beside Mu Yan, a crafty look in her black eyes.
