Chapter 91 - Begged On The Streets
The three-year young girl was wearing a pink crop top that she had taken out of her wardrobe. The crop top appeared more like a long nightgown but surprisingly it fits the young girl.
That top was so large that six to seven girls like Mia would be fitted inside but the fox had some magic tricks up her sleeve using through which she managed to transform the outlook of the casual pink top.
Her thigh-long silver hair was tied in a thick braid, falling in front of her shoulder. Despite being in the human form, the small red lotus mark on her forehead remained on her forehead.
What a beautiful sight!
"Why are you looking at me like that?" The little girl tilted her head to the side and smiled.
Looking at the charming smile on her face, she once again realized that this girl was a vixen indeed.
Yu Mei walked towards her before sitting on the bed, "Mia, listen to the big sister here. You can't smile so randomly if we go out okay?" She carefully considered it before continuing, "If young boys started hovering around this mansion….given the previous owner's debauchery, Zixuan will think that I did not even spare kids. That'd be very embarrassing."
"I'm older than you. You should call me big sister," Mia twirled the tip of her braid in her finger.
Yu Mei was awestruck. Was it a crime to think that this 3-year old girl looked sexy while doing such things? A vixen is a vixen, big or small! "Wait…Did you just say you're older than me?" The little girl nodded and Yu Mei looked at her from top to bottom studying her teeny tiny body, "From which angle?"
Mia scoffed, "I am like this because of you. You don't have an ounce of spiritual power in your body but you managed to contract me back then. My powers have all be reduced to 1% of my original; powers."
Yu Mei was speechless. This 1% of her powers were enough to kill her within a second then won't the 100% will be capable of destroying the city or the country…possibly the world?
"When did I contract you exactly?" Why didn't she remember signing a contract with her? Was she drunk or did she have amnesia?
Realizing the direction of her thoughts, Mia explained "You were 3 years old at that time. It was a blood contract."
When she was 3, Jian Yu was 9 years old. Thinking about that time, it was a chaotic year for them. They had some accident that year and when he woke up, they were in an underground sewer of Amaranthine.
"You don't know anything," Mia remarked.
"When will you stop peeking in my thoughts?"
"Maybe in the future?"
Yu Mei sighed, "Anyways, what were you talking about? What do I not know?"
"Han Jian Yu was in a half-dead condition when he woke up while you were protected in his arms," The little girl recalled the incident from the past.
Yu Mei frowned, "He never told me about it…"
"I treated him out of pity or else he would have died," Mia said, "Later, he wandered on the streets begging around for money so that he can feed you."
Yu Mei's lowered her head. Jian Yu is such a prideful man. He…begged on the streets for her? She blinked rapidly in an attempt to dissolve the tears forming in the corner of her eyes.
"Later, Jian Yu found an orphanage which could be our shelter," Yu Mei said, recalling what she was told by her brother.
Mia nodded, "He did find such a place. But those people told him that one of you could be adopted anytime and he did not like that. He wandered on the streets aimlessly while carrying you with him. Nobody paid attention to you both since you looked like beggars until he bumped into Shi Luo's mother who offered him some money," The young girl looked at the woman sitting in front of her, as she replayed the memories from years ago in her mind, ''Han Jian Yu rejected it. He made a…."
"What?" Yu Mei frowned when Mia stopped talking, "He made what?"
"Whatever that was which you made with Old Man Xiang. Put conditions and then…"
"You mean deal?"
Mia nodded, "He made a deal with her and asked her to give you both shelter. In return, he will pay her back with a lot more than she gave which he did years later. But Shi Luo's mother was not a greedy person, she never took advantage of him neither did she take you in because of your brother's enticing offer."
"And how'd you know that?"
"I had read her mind at that time. She is a soft-hearted woman and was sympathetic to you both. After taking you in, she loved you both like her own kids."
Yu Mei remained silent. Of course, she knew all this but she was never informed about the details.
In fact, she also knew that Jian Yu lost his memories of the past but he had a jade bracelet with him which had 'Han' imprinted on it hence their names Han Jian Yu and Han Mei like he named her.
"Amidst all this, when and how did I contract you? I was just a baby at that time."
"It was when you were still in Han Family," Mia answered, a solemn expression appearing on her cute little face.
Yu Mei glanced at her with a raised eyebrow, "You know about them? Tell me more."
"No."
"Why?"
A smile appeared on Mia's face, a typical vixen smile that can charm people of any age, "Because you are impulsive. You will be inviting your own death if I give you the accounts of their heinous deeds. Wait for the right time."
"But…"
"If you have nothing else, you can leave."
This fox was only gentle and obedient when she was hungry. She was back to being a tyrant now.
"Hey, this is my room," She sighed, ''Zixuan is inviting me to visit his mom. Can you revert back to a fox so that I can take you with me?"
"I've lost control over my powers for being contracted with a weak human for decades. For the time being, I will stay with like this. You can go. I'll be cultivating here."
Yu Mei blankly glanced at the little girl. Weak human? Why is everyone trying to trample over her female ego lately?
