Chapter 317: Old Habit
Zhao Xiaozhou narrowed his eyes as he looked at the group leaving his sight. Although he was curious about her and wanted to know more, he knew that now was not a suitable ti.
Even so, he was quite confused about her sudden arrival, and the whole situation that had occurred. This young woman did not seem like a rash or arrogant person, but she also did not seem to have the sa kind of moral barriers that normal people would usually have.
Her eagerness to witness the drama and rob the corpses seed to be an ingrained habit that she was unable to let go. It was clear that she had advanced towards them with the intention of getting so benefits, but most people would never act like this, as they would disdain to rob corpses.
Zhao Xiaozhou did not know about Bai Rouyun's background. Under usual circumstances, she would also have left the battle behind and stayed at a safe distance, but after arriving in this unfamiliar area, her old habits had resurfaced.
Back when Bai Rouyun was an orphan wandering the streets, she would not care about what was right or wrong, as long as it could help her survive. To increase her strength, she did not care about the dignity of a dead person, and would gladly take their items without any ntal burden.
As she had been reborn into this new body, Bai Rouyun was no longer a starved and poor young woman, but had lived a life where materialistic resources had never lacked. As such, this strange habit had been buried deep within her mind.
Even so, after arriving at the Wushi Continent, she had returned to those days of her childhood. She was in a foreign land, and everything she encountered here was dangerous and could threaten her survival.
She might have been a powerhouse in the Prison Continent, but here, she was rely another person from the younger generation, not even able to stand out among the others.
As such, she needed to urgently increase her abilities and ensure that she could not only save her own life, but also protect her dear children, so when she heard the battle, she was eager to see if she could reap the benefits of a fisherman.
Unfortunately, she still had very little understanding of the Wushi Continent, and upon witnessing the true circumstances of the battle, she quickly regained her senses. It was not a good idea to try and interfere.
After getting such a rude wake-up call, she wanted to leave hurriedly, but she also understood that if she did not handle it well, she was likely to end up in a conflict with that Young Master Zhao, and that was sothing she was not willing to see.
That was why, when she noticed that he seed fairly reasonable and unwilling to make matters worse, she quickly grabbed the chance and left after introducing herself.
The many children and beasts that followed alongside Bai Rouyun did not show any disagreents or confusion after seeing that she was changing her mind that quickly and simply followed her away.
It was not before they had gone a long distance that Bai Rouyun finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, I was too influenced by my past and the greed got the better of ." Although Bai Rouyun had placed herself as the mother of this varied group of children, she never considered herself to be always right.
Even if she was their mother, she was still a human being. As any other human, she could make mistakes and she was able to do things based on her emotions and knowledge, which others could find wrong.
She never claid to be correct in everything, and she knew that it was important to respect and accept others, as long as they did not try to force their own thoughts onto her.
To Bai Rouyun, it was important that when soone made a mistake, they had to confess and make up for it. Although she was claiming to be an elder of these adorable children, her decision had also caused them to follow her into danger, and thus she owed them a sincere apology.
To her, there was nothing wrong with apologizing to soone younger than her, and she also wished that her children could grow up to have their own opinions, thoughts, and views. She did not see the need to force her own decisions onto them.
However, such a sincere apology caused the children to be taken aback. Although they had not had much interaction with most human beings, they had still seen many things during the ti they had cultivated back in the lower continent.
Filial piety had often beco a chain to hold down a younger generation, and no matter what consequences the decisions of the older generation were, the youngsters had no way of going against them. The knowledge they had grown up learning was that their parents were right, even if their decisions were wrong.
Fortunately, Bai Rouyun had never grown up in a family. She did not know what these blood-ties were that could make even a genius swallow his own voice and agree to his parents.
She had, after eting Yun Mingshen, found the joy of having a family mber, but they were both from the sa generation, so there was also no need to respect him as a parent.
"Don't worry. Even if we were to fight and kill these people for the sake of their treasures, we would not necessarily lose." Xiao Bao could not help but smirk maliciously, making his adorable child-like face turn sinister.
Although Xiao Bao often carried himself as an arrogant young master with no care for the world, only he himself knew how much he adored Bai Rouyun, and after knowing that she was the reincarnation of his creator, all the barriers around his frozen heart had lted. He would follow her to the ends of the world, let alone kill a few people to rob their corpses.
