Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 559: Chapter 558 Cute Little Girl

Feeling bored, Su Yang loitered near the doorway for a moment when suddenly, a small ball bounced to his feet.

Su Yang picked up the ball and saw a little girl around five or six years old looking at him shyly. The ball must have been her toy.

The little girl was quite cute, with her hair tied in two little pigtails, round cheeks, and an appearance that was endearing. However, there was a hint of dullness in her eyes which made Su Yang frown, suggesting the little girl might not be in good health.

Seeing Su Yang not speaking, the little girl said in a low voice, ”Big brother, can you give me back my ball...”

”Hehe...” Su Yang chuckled and casually tossed the toy ball to the little girl: ”Catch!”

The little girl stretched out her chubby little hands, caught the ball, and started playing with it excitedly nearby. After a while, the ball rolled over to Su Yang again.

Su Yang tossed it back casually, and the little girl played even more joyfully, sometimes deliberately tossing the ball to Su Yang, as if she was playing with him.

Su Yang was also tireless and started to play catch with the little girl. In the end, they simply tossed the ball back and forth, with the little girl laughing merrily, extremely happy.

”Niuniu, what are you doing?” Suddenly, a voice came from the side.

Su Yang turned his head and saw a woman in her twenties walking out of a house.

When the little girl saw her, she hurryingly threw herself into the woman’s arms: ”Auntie, you’re back!”

”Mm!” The woman was affectionate toward the little girl, carefully wiping the sweat from her forehead: ”Niuniu, hasn’t Grandpa told you not to sweat so much? Why don’t you listen to Grandpa?”

”I didn’t, I’m just hot.” The little girl pouted.

”Still saying you didn’t, how did this ball come out! And, how could you disturb big brother?” The woman gave Su Yang an apologetic smile.

”It’s nothing!” Su Yang smiled back.

”I didn’t disturb big brother, the ball rolled out on its own, and I ran out to see...” The little girl, hugging the woman’s neck, coaxed: ”Auntie, please don’t tell Grandpa, okay? If worse comes to worst, tonight I can share some of my candy with you...”

”You little glutton, your own candy isn’t even enough for you, and you still want to give me some!” The woman laughed and tapped the little girl’s nose: ”Alright, I won’t tell Grandpa, but you need to eat more dinner later, okay?”

”Mm...” The little girl pouted, obviously reluctant. But, in the end, she nodded her head. Then she suddenly turned to Su Yang: ”Then I want to invite big brother to have dinner with us, okay?”

”Ah?” The woman was taken aback: ”How could that be possible? Big brother has his own things to be busy with...”

”I don’t want that, I don’t want that, I want big brother to have dinner with us!” The little girl started to throw a tantrum in the woman’s arms.

Feeling helpless, the woman looked at Su Yang and mustered up the courage: ”This big brother, are you... are you also with Young Master Zhao in entering the mountains?”

”Yes!” Su Yang nodded.

”Oh, that’s great!” The woman smiled: ”My name is Lin Qing, and we are also with Young Master Zhao who entered the mountains.”

”My surname is Su, from Hu Martial Arts School!” Su Yang said offhandedly.

Lin Qing clearly had never heard of Hu Martial Arts School, but she still happily said, ”So it’s Young Master Su, well... have you had lunch yet? We just ordered some food, why don’t you come and join us at the table?”

Su Yang didn’t mind at all; the little girl was quite adorable, and he had no problem sharing a table with her.

Upon receiving Su Yang’s approval, the little girl was overjoyed and ran over to hug Su Yang’s legs, ”Big brother, after we eat, will you play ball with me, please?”

”Niuniu, that’s impolite!” Lin Qing scolded, and with an apologetic face, said, ”Young Master Su, I’m sorry, Niuniu is a bit clingy, please don’t take it to heart.”

”It’s fine, Niuniu is quite cute,” Su Yang said with a faint smile. He had already used the Soul Searching Technique and took a glance, realizing that Lin Qing and the others had come specifically to seek medicine, all to save this little girl.

Lin Qing’s father was a cultivator and quite an expert in his own right. However, upon arriving in Zifeng City, he seemed rather inconspicuous. This time, he was recruited by Zhao Wunian.

Compared to the other recruits Zhao Wunian had gathered, Lin Qing and her family were of a particularly innocent mind, which was quite rare.

It wasn’t long before Lin Qing’s father returned as well. He was an elder in his sixties named Lin Zhenshan, tall and imposing with bright and spirited eyes. Beside him was a young man in his twenties, his disciple named Wang Qian, who had a somewhat arrogant look on his face.

Seeing the little girl Lin Qing sitting with Su Yang, Lin Zhenshan was very surprised.

However, after Lin Qing explained Su Yang’s identity and Niuniu’s situation, Lin Zhenshan was no longer surprised and said with a smile, ”Niuniu is just being a playful child, Young Master Su, please don’t mind her.”

”No problem!” Su Yang said with a light smile. Lin Zhenshan seemed rather amiable, no wonder he had raised a daughter like Lin Qing.

At this moment, Wang Qian approached Niuniu and, patting her head, said, ”Niuniu, Uncle has taught you before, don’t talk to strangers, remember?”

”I remember!” Niuniu said, blinking her eyes.

”Then what’s wrong today?” Wang Qian glanced at Su Yang. ”You don’t even know if he’s a good person or a bad person, yet you invite him back for a meal?”

”Wang Qian!” Lin Zhenshan frowned; his disciple was speaking out of turn.

Niuniu: ”Big brother is a good person, ah! He played ball with me; he’s not a stranger!”

Wang Qian, noticing Lin Zhenshan’s anger, didn’t dare to speak anymore but coldly glared at Su Yang before taking a chair and sat between Su Yang and Lin Qing, as if worried Su Yang might have designs on Lin Qing.

Su Yang, however, remained calm and didn’t even glance at Wang Qian. He had come to eat mainly because of Niuniu. The little girl was adorable, and Su Yang couldn’t bear to reject her. As for everyone else, he didn’t really care.

During the meal, Su Yang noticed that Niuniu seemed to struggle with every bite. Each time she swallowed, it appeared as though she was using all her strength, which was very difficult.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhenshan and Lin Qing were primarily focused on her. Every bite Niuniu took caused their hearts to jump with concern; they knew all too well the pain she suffered. Yet, she couldn’t not eat!

After a few bites, Niuniu reached out her little hand to cover her neck, as if in great pain, and began to cough violently.

”Niuniu, Niuniu, are you alright...” Lin Qing panicked, quickly patting Niuniu’s back, but it didn’t relieve even a bit of discomfort.

Lin Zhenshan’s eyes reddened as he watched his granddaughter with a heart full of pain, his mood heavy.

Su Yang watched for a while before stepping forward and softly said, ”Niuniu, how about big brother feeds you?”
