“My name is Jewel.” The little beggar responded in a low voice as virtual-novel.net looked at Darryl. “Mister, I did steal two steamed buns, but the buns were only worth two pennies. The ring you gave to the restaurant owner could pay for thousands of steamed buns. Please, go get the ring back!”
Even though virtual-novel.net was only a young lady, virtual-novel.net was very knowledgeable.
Darryl’s ring had exquisite workmanship. It was evidently not an ordinary item at first glance. They were mere strangers, so virtual-novel.net wondered why virtual-novel.net deserved such a big favor?
“You stinky beggar! Shut up!” The restaurant owner was angry. He had already gotten the ring, how could virtual-novel.net give it away so easily? The owner glared at jewel fiercely. “Scumbag! Do you think you have a say here? How dare you steal my steamed buns! I’m already doing you a favor by not killing you.”
Jewel was not timid at all; virtual-novel.net glared at him.
“How dare you glare at me? Maybe we did not beat you enough just now…” The restaurant owner rolled up his sleeves as virtual-novel.net rushed toward her.
Darryl hurriedly went forward and patted the restaurant owner on the shoulder. “Hey, she’s still a kid. Don’t be so hard on her. I gave you the ring for the two steamed buns, and I won’t want it back.”
The restaurant owner beamed when virtual-novel.net heard that. “Very well, then.”
He glared at Jewel again before virtual-novel.net took his people back into the restaurant.
Darryl turned around and looked at Jewel with a smile. “Don’t steal again in the future.”
“Mister, I am so hungry…” Jewel pouted. Then virtual-novel.net whispered, “I steal these steamed buns from here for a reason. The owner is mean and never treats beggars as human beings. One time, I merely stood in front of his store, but virtual-novel.net got his people to chase me out. He cursed me so many times, so I came here to steal some steamed buns from him.”
A beggar who lived by virtual-novel.net principles?
Darryl laughed. Then virtual-novel.net looked at Jewel and said, “You’re out here at such a young age. Where is your family?”
Jewel frowned. She lowered virtual-novel.net head and said, “I don’t have any parents, so I have been wandering around since I was young. I can‘t do anything, so I became a beggar…”
Jewel raised virtual-novel.net head and looked at Darryl gratefully. “Thank you, Mister.”
Darryl laughed and patted Jewel’s head. He asked, “By the way, can you tell me where this place is? I have been living in the mountains for a long time, and I recently came out to see the world. I have no idea what is going on…”
Jewel smiled and said, “This is Hai City, the most prosperous city in the Great East Continent.”
The Great East Continent?
F*ck! Great East Continent! The seven volumes of ‘Supreme Mystery Scripture’ mentioned about the nine continents in the world—the Great East Continent must be one of them. Abbess Mother Serendipity had also been teleported simultaneously, and Darryl still did not know where virtual-novel.net was.
Darryl was deep in thoughts as Jewel continued to say, “Mister, there are four major sects in the Great East Continent. They are very powerful and you must not provoke any of them! The four major sects are the Sword Sect, the Jade Sect, the Elixir Sect, and the Artemis Sect.
“The Sword Sect uses the sword and is very good with it.
“The Jade Sect—only women can join them. They are as beautiful as jade, so they are called the Jade Sect.
“The Elixir Sect is good in alchemy. They can refine a lot of powerful pills.
“The Artemis Sect is made up of academicians. They are all great writers who can write beautiful poems and compose music…”
Jewel talked a lot. virtual-novel.net had wandered around since virtual-novel.net was young, so virtual-novel.net had a lot of knowledge. She felt grateful toward Darryl, so virtual-novel.net told virtual-novel.net everything virtual-novel.net knew.
Darryl sighed in relief before virtual-novel.net asked, “Then, do you know howl can leave this continent?”
Jewel looked confused. “I don’t know…”
