Capítulo 1397: Chapter 185: Arriving in Droves
“Fortunately, today is New Year’s Eve; she must be at ho by now.”
“At this point, it’s ti to go ho and have a al.”
“Hmm, I can’t let them find out I ate outside…”
Xu Shu thought to himself, summoned Ji Yu, and used the “Purification” ability to clear the lingering sll of oil on his clothes.
He glanced at the blind girl playing guitar under the overpass.
She was thin and small, wearing a gray-white blindfold and an old, washed-out pink cotton jacket, with a few bills exposed in the pencil box in front of her.
Xu Shu felt a slight pause in his breath; although she was performing, not begging, it reminded him of his childhood days of wandering and begging.
The last pitiful little girl he saw was Little Ya at the welfare school.
Back then, she was so innocent, weak, pitiful, and helpless, yet sweet-mouthed and lovable.
Turns out she was sneaky and cunning behind it, truly disappointing!
Ah…
Comparing the two, Xu Shu couldn’t help but feel compassion. He pulled out a handful of bills, but after a little hesitation, chose the smallest denominations to put in.
The girl’s playing stopped, and she squeezed out a smile and said very earnestly, “Thank you, brother!”
Xu Shu affectionately patted the blind girl’s hair, thinking that the quiet child looked sowhat familiar. Upon reflection, he recalled.
It was on his first day in Penglai when he t this mother and daughter at the ticket office of Jin Baoshan’s train station; back then, they seed quite financially well-off.
So… did the family go bankrupt, so she’s performing?
How did she beco blind…
Ah, misfortune befalls the unfortunate…
I rember, didn’t her mother seem to mock back then?
As his mory of that brief encounter was not so clear, Xu Shu was montarily at a loss for words.
Without saying a word, he turned and left, not feeling the satisfaction of seeing soone who had looked down on him now suffering, but rather filled with a sense of frustration with nowhere to vent.
Yet after walking just two steps, he suddenly stopped.
Wait, I didn’t speak, how did she know I’m a man…
Xu Shu was slightly stunned, subconsciously turned back, and caught a glimpse of the girl’s furtive and timid look under her blindfold.
“…”
Well, well, truly pretending to be blind!
Damn, these pink-clad girls are all black-hearted inside, aren’t they?
Xu Shu almost choked.
But then he thought, well, let her pretend to be blind!

At least it shows the girl is physically healthy and clever enough to use people’s sympathy to survive.
It’s not easy~
Xu Shu chuckled, letting go of his concerns.
Before long, he quietly returned to the “temporary” residence in the Judgent Departnt family courtyard, briefly reunited with his family, and had New Year’s Eve dinner together.
Though it was called a temporary residence, under Xiao Ya’s arrangent, his adoptive parents were already settled here.
Given the enhanced patrols by the Judgent Departnt, there is truly no safer place than here. The last step is Xu Shu officially joining the Penglai District Judgent Departnt.
Only he’s been delaying Xiao Ya, under the guise of needing more observation before making a decision.
After a satisfying al.
Xu Shu watched his happy family and couldn’t help but smile.
anwhile, he had a guess in his mind.
That is, according to the notion that every extraordinary profession’s Curse Seal carries a hidden influence, could the “Divine Child” seal bring “unmatched super confidence” to the transcendent?
Watching Zhou Shiyu, the first-rank Great Power, boastfully declaring that she would protect her brother from now on, Xu Shu’s suspicions grew stronger.
Happy tis are always so brief.
Especially now in Bai Yujing amidst the storm.
Realizing even on New Year’s Eve, many colleagues from the Judgent Departnt were still pressuring and capturing Lower District’s gray forces, Xu Shu couldn’t entirely relax.
So, tonight he chose to head to the Moon Cos and Goes Hotel to cultivate and keep watch.
While training, Xu Shu didn’t forget to log into the Ascension Network to check the latest global news.
Browsing the world channel casually, he saw the Eastern Extre Zone’s battle remained fierce.
They’ve been fighting for almost half a month; the quantity and persistence of the deep-sea varieties in the Sea of Death are astonishing, seemingly endless.
Even with several Fifth Realm Great Powers of the Human Clan joining forces to explore, there is still no concrete news.
“The unknown super-sized relic in East Pole Sea Region” is becoming a new unsolved mystery of the Post-Apocalypse Era—one of them.
After engaging with the “Tailed Ksitigarbha,” Xu Shu managed to learn a bit about the situation.
Despite the ‘Gods and Buddhas’ speaking in riddles, it didn’t stop Xu Shu from showing off.
No, it’s not showing off!
To be precise, he intends to pass so information to more people, to the high-ups of Human Clan, to let those Great Powers know the matter is eerily dangerous, best left ignored if possible.
After all, humanity’s current situation isn’t great, and losing a few Fifth Realm Great Powers on the Heavenly List in such a scenario isn’t sothing Xu Shu wants to happen long-term.
As for showing off? Proving himself?
It’s just a coincidence!
The main goal is to contribute to the Human Clan.
