Pheasant? Oh...it turns out it's an animal!

The two of them gazed at the Eternal Tower, which soared into the clouds.

They couldn't help but be secretly astonished.

This Eternal Tower truly looked eternal!

It seemed to have existed since ancient times.

The tower's body was mottled, covered in the marks of time, each stone seemingly telling a distant story.

Furthermore,

ancient inscriptions and patterns were faintly visible on these stones, perhaps imprints of past civilizations, or symbols of some mysterious power.

Not only that,

a mysterious aura permeated the area around the tower, as if an invisible force was guarding it, making people afraid to approach easily.

"Can this tower be corroded by Poisonous Milk is Very Poisonous?"

A bold and strange thought suddenly formed in Li Xunle's mind.

This thought grew like wild grass.

He couldn't suppress it.

He looked sideways at the Eternal Tower with his star-like eyes, a peculiar smile appearing on his face.

He parted his lips slightly and whispered,

"Perhaps I can find an opportunity to try it out?"

At this moment,

Zhao Hao stood by, carrying half a bag of roasted suckling pig, observing.

After a moment,

he turned his head to look at Li Xunle:

"Big Brother, this tower is too damn big!"

Li Xunle clasped his hands behind his back and smiled faintly:

"What are you talking about? This World Gate passage needs to be traversed; you didn't think you could just walk through, did you?"

"Ah? It needs to be traversed? Oh my goodness..."

"Let's go, prepare for a massacre!"

After he finished speaking,

just as he was about to move,

suddenly,

his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a disheveled little girl not far away.

She was curled up in a corner.

Eleven or twelve years old, her clothes were dirty, like an abandoned child.

Her hair was messy, scattered over her thin shoulders, a stark contrast to her malnourished little face.

Her hands were clasped tightly around her frail body.

Her eyes revealed a sense of helplessness and bewilderment.

At this moment,

her hollow gaze was fixed blankly on the dust on the ground.

She seemed to be in a daze.

Li Xunle frowned slightly, looking at her thoughtfully.

The next second,

he slowly stepped forward and walked in front of her.

Then,

he bent down and looked into her eyes curiously.

Feeling Li Xunle's gaze,

the little girl's expression inexplicably panicked, and she looked a little nervous.

Her gaze shifted timidly towards Li Xunle, perhaps because she was afraid of being noticed by a stranger.

Her eyes darted around.

Li Xunle looked at her quietly:

"What's your name?"

The little girl said timidly: "A... A Li."

After she finished speaking,

her clear eyes occasionally glanced at the seemingly harmless Big Brother in front of her.

Perhaps because Li Xunle seemed kind,

A Li's expression gradually relaxed, and she wasn't as nervous.

Li Xunle tried to make his voice sound gentle:

"I see you, you seem to be hungry?"

"Mm." A Li nodded:

"But it's okay, I'm used to being hungry."

Li Xunle asked curiously: "Where are your family?"

"I don't remember. Since I can remember, I've been wandering in this Black Domain."

"An orphan?" Li Xunle's eyes flickered.

"Probably... yes."

Li Xunle pondered for a moment, then turned to Zhao Hao:

"Ri Tian, take out that half of the roasted suckling pig; carrying it is a hassle anyway."

Zhao Hao was examining the Eternal Tower in front of them.

Hearing Li Xunle's words, his gaze immediately shifted.

"Oh, alright, Big Brother!"

Zhao Hao saw the little girl in front of Li Xunle and roughly understood Li Xunle's intention.

So,

he deftly took down the remaining half of the roasted suckling pig and gently handed it to the little girl.

However,

his simple-minded appearance indeed made the little girl's expression change slightly.

At this moment,

Li Xunle said softly:

"A Li, we can't finish this remaining half of the roasted suckling pig, and carrying it is a hassle. Could you help us deal with it?"

After he finished speaking,

he took out a one-star luck crystal from his backpack and placed it in A Li's hand.

Then he said thoughtfully:

"The reason I'm only giving you one is because others won't be envious; if I gave you more, others would be envious. Take this to solve your basic needs!"

After he finished speaking,

he slowly stood up and waved to Zhao Hao:

"Ri Tian, let's go."

A glimmer of hope surged in A Li's eyes:

"Big Brother, can we meet again?"

Li Xunle turned to look at A Li:

"Perhaps when spring blossoms next year, that will be the time we meet."

After he finished speaking,

in the blink of an eye, the two disappeared into the vast crowd.

As for A Li,

she looked at the roasted suckling pig with a complex expression; it was enough for her to eat for several days.

She placed the luck crystal into her personal backpack.

Then,

she slowly ate the roasted suckling pig, bite by bite.

Her eyes were a little moist, and she inexplicably felt like crying.

This kindness from a stranger touched her deeply.

She had been... hungry for seven days... In the crowd.

"Big Brother, how do you feel?"

"How do I feel about what?"

"The feeling of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."

"Accumulating virtue? Nonsense!"

Li Xunle looked at his moral value of over negative one million, his face complex.

Accumulating virtue? What virtue could he accumulate?

His morality was already over negative one million.

The reason he helped that little girl was purely out of sympathy for a fellow orphan.

That was all.

Soon,

the two arrived at the Tower Door of the Eternal Tower.

The Tower Door was unguarded, but many Adventurers were gathered:

"Anyone looking for a team to traverse the interface passage?"

"Come one, come all! I'm leading people through the interface passage, nicknamed the 'Heavenly Proxy,' only one first-tier moonlight gem needed."

"Professional help for crossing the interface passage, our team is full of beautiful experts, only 2998 one-star luck crystals."

"Comprehensive professional nanny-level escort, just one ten-star skill book, to help you get home safely."

"..."

Li Xunle and Zhao Hao listened to the continuous shouts, unable to help but raise their eyebrows.

This is truly... wherever there are people, there areJianghu (jianghu, a world of martial artists and Adventurers), and wherever there isJianghu, there are boosters!

Ignoring them,

Li Xunle shook his head lightly, then prepared to walk directly into the Tower Door with Zhao Hao.

At this moment,

suddenly, an Adventurer saw them:

"Two handsome lads, do you need escort services? Affordable prices!"

Li Xunle: "No, thank you!"

"I called you a handsome lad, and you're not even acknowledging me?"

Li Xunle: "Didn't I say? I don't need it."

"Handsome lads, I think you need an escort. You haven't even fully matured yet; won't you turn into monster droppings if you go in?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

"I advise you two young men not to be ungrateful!"

The other party's tone suddenly intensified, sounding a bit harsh.

Li Xunle stopped, looked at the other party, and said impolitely:

"Even if you called me your biological father, I still wouldn't need it! Got it? Idiot!"

As soon as these words came out,

it was like a fuse being lit.

The next second, it was as if a bomb had completely detonated.

People nearby started laughing:

"Hahaha, idiot! That's hilarious."

"This young man's mouth is truly poisonous! Hahaha!"

"Hill Chicken, if you don't retort, you might as well not be here. You'll lose face!"

The man Li Xunle called an idiot looked very upset.

His nickname was Hill Chicken, a first-turn expert, and he had several brothers who regularly provided escort services with him.

Of course,

on the surface, it was escort, but secretly, it was murder and robbery.

At this moment,

Hill Chicken's eyes seemed to be spitting fire as he stared intently at Li Xunle.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"Young man, your poisonous mouth needs to be taught a lesson!"

Li Xunle smiled strangely: "Teach me a lesson? Who are you?"

"Hill Chicken!!!"

"Hill Chicken? Oh... so you're an animal!"
