The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

Chapter 55 Jiangcheng 13 It's okay if I get hurt.

After the wontons were served, Wen Li couldn't wait to take off her mask and put one in her mouth with her chopsticks.

Sure enough, every bite was full of meat, and the broth was extremely delicious.

Seeing that Wen Li was enjoying her meal, Shen Yingsi also took off his mask and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

After the old lady finished her work and saw that there weren't many customers, she sat down opposite the two of them, looking at one and then the other, praising their sparse teeth.

"Ugh, you old hag, people are having breakfast and you're just spitting your saliva out here."

Wen Li protected her bowl with a look of disgust.

The old lady ignored Wen Li and said to herself, "I never expected you two to be so good-looking! I'm almost eighty-five years old and have seen so many boys and girls, but you two are the best-looking."

Shen Yingsi politely declined, saying, "Grandma is too kind."

Wen Li, however, knew nothing of modesty. She proudly declared, "Of course! We're both the most beautiful in the world!"

The old lady stared at the two people in front of her who looked like they had stepped out of a painting, and she couldn't get enough of looking at them.

"Your child will be so beautiful! Sigh, when are you planning to have children?"

Wen Li was enjoying her meal when she choked on her words after taking a bite of wonton and a sip of soup.

"Cough cough cough..."

Shen Yingsi frowned slightly, handed over the handkerchief in his arms, watched her wipe herself clean, and then picked up the tea from the side.

He got up and walked to Wen Li's side, gently patting her back.

Wen Li bent over and coughed a few times, feeling a little better, when tea was offered to her lips.

"Have a sip of tea to calm down."

Wen Li took the drink and felt much better instantly.

Shen Yingsi's voice was gentle, but his expression was not good.

"Grandma, please don't make jokes like that when Ali is eating."

Although Shen Yingsi wore a smile, his eyes and brows exuded a terrifying pressure when he got angry.

This young man is not someone to be trifled with. But she's lived to such an old age, she's had enough of life, why should she be afraid of him?

"So you weren't a couple after all. Well, you're really wasting your good looks, you're hopeless."

The old lady sighed, and just as Wen Li was about to explain, someone arrived.

"Boss, a large bowl of wontons, please."

"coming."

The old woman shook her head as she slowly walked to cook wontons. Halfway there, she remembered something, turned back, and placed the cloth-wrapped item she was carrying on the table.

"Here you go, little girl. And young man, you need to work harder."

After saying that, he slowly walked away, leaving Wen Li and Shen Yingsi looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Ah Li, I'm sorry."

Wen Li asked in surprise, "Why are you apologizing? It's normal for us to be misunderstood when we stand together because we look so good."

"Ali, don't be angry."

Wen Li pretended to be troubled and pondered, "Being misunderstood with Zhao Sicheng might make me angry, because he's too stupid and just average-looking. But being misunderstood with you is perfectly normal. We're both so good-looking and have outstanding temperaments. It's hard not to be misunderstood."

After Wen Li finished speaking, she continued eating her wontons, unaware that someone was secretly delighted by her joke, and their eyes and brows unconsciously lit up with a smile.

After finishing a bowl of wontons, more and more people gradually arrived.

Wen Li unfolded the cloth left by the old lady and found that it contained the gold she had left behind yesterday. Wen Li didn't intend to take the money with her and wanted to leave it there, but Shen Yingsi stopped her.

"Grandma doesn't need this."

Wen Li looked at him with suspicion, then listened to what he had to say.

"This grandma says she hates working because she won't eat if she doesn't work. But actually, she works harder than anyone else. Her clothes are made of good quality fabric and have no patches, so her family is quite well-off. She sets up her stall very early in the morning, while the other vendors are almost always half an hour later. I guess what she dislikes most is facing an empty house alone, rather than setting up a stall here."

Upon hearing this, Wen Li looked at the old lady who was cooking wontons while chatting and laughing with the owner of the steamed buns next to her.

This old lady is a talkative person. When customers come, she chats with them, and when no one comes to eat, she chats with the vendors next to her.

In short, he just couldn't stop talking.

"I'm telling you, it's that pork butcher shop in the south of the city. The father-in-law and daughter-in-law were caught doing *that*!"

The old lady at the steamed bun shop next door glanced left and right, thinking she was speaking in a low voice, but her voice was actually quite loud. The customers sitting in the back could hear her clearly.

The old woman's voice grew louder: "It's all that family's fault, that son is so weak and frail, like a little wife. He's not even as useful as his father. Whether he's good in bed or not, you don't even need to guess."

The old lady next to him nodded in agreement, while the old woman selling vegetables across from him raised her eyebrows and pouted, saying with a sigh, "If you ask me, this kind of man shouldn't get a wife. Do you remember Mr. Wang who ran a cloth shop in the city? He was no good, yet he married eighteen young wives. Wasn't that just harming people?"

The old woman, still holding a spoon, pointed around and chimed in, "That's right, how could someone like that deserve to live to seventy! Although I didn't particularly like my husband, he was very skilled in that area when he was young, it's just a pity he died young!"

Seeing that the conversation was getting more and more outrageous, Wen Li turned around and saw that Shen Yingsi's cheeks were slightly flushed. She quickly left the money for the wontons and left with Shen Yingsi.

These old ladies think they're speaking so quietly that everyone on the street knows?

Wen Li pulled Shen Yingsi along and walked forward on her own, through the crowd.

The people on the street are all busy with their own lives and have their own futures to pursue.

The man carrying candied hawthorns held a child's hand, the scholar with a book fantasized about his future, and the child playing with a wooden sword dreamed of cultivating immortality.

Wen Li led Shen Yingsi toward Anle Medical Clinic. Before they even arrived, they saw many other people with illnesses who were heading to the same place.

Most of the people who went to the Anle Hall were poor.

The Anle Hall doesn't charge for medical treatment, and it's packed with people for half an hour every day.

Demons and monsters in the world harm people. Although there are demon hunters, the demons of Guigu keep escaping, and countless people die at the hands of demons every day.

Ahead, a seven or eight-year-old child was dragging a man who had lost both legs along on a wheeled plank, gritting his teeth as they ran forward.

A man, clearly corrupted by demonic energy, was being carried and dragged forward by his mother, who was over fifty years old.

There was also a beggar who smelled terrible and was so dirty that his face was unrecognizable, with blood flowing from his thigh, but he walked steadily forward.

Wen Li had seen such scenes and such people many times, but none of them had ever touched her heart.

People in the world each have their own space and boundaries. Most people are trapped in their own little world, only concerned with their own joys and sorrows, and only seeing their own gains and losses.

Wen Li has lived a lifetime, but this is the first time she has connected human suffering with her own experience.

Cultivators are supposed to shoulder the responsibility of saving all living beings and protecting the human world. In this respect, she is even inferior to Wen Mingzhu; she has been trapped in her own suffering and her own world for far too long.

Having cultivated immortality for so long, this is the first time I've truly understood why I chose to cultivate.

His usually arrogant and sharp eyes had softened at this moment.

The person behind her walked through the crowd, but his gaze never lingered on anyone else.

He once had eyes for all living beings, but now he can only see one person.

When they arrived at the entrance of Anle Medical Clinic, the patients had already surrounded the door.

Aren't you going to ask me why I brought you here?

"Ah Li, will you hurt me?"

Wen Li couldn't see Shen Yingsi's expression behind his mask, so she didn't know what he meant or how to answer him.

She has already hurt him.

"It's alright if it hurts me. I like everything that Ali gives me."

Seeing that Wen Li did not answer, Shen Yingsi answered on his own.

Wen Li stiffened; she felt she understood Shen Yingsi less and less.
