Chapter 720: Our Family Is Rich(1/2)

Huntian Fairy City, Huanghua Street.

"Boss, we're here."

Li Dian turned his head with a smile on his face and happened to see Su Fan's strange expression.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? Are you not used to it? In fact, I have already told you that this place is not suitable for you..."

"I'm fine."

Su Fan shook his head, his voice was a little weird. It was obvious that he was breathing completely through his mouth.

I originally thought that in Huntian Fairy City, no matter how dilapidated the place was, it would not be too dilapidated. After all, this is the fairy world.

However, this Huanghua Street completely subverted Su Fan's thinking.

Huanghua Street can be said to be a complete slum, even worse than Xianzhou in Xianting.

Although Xianzhou is simple and crude, it can be accommodated at least, and the air is very fresh, but the immortal power is thin.

But what about Huanghua Street?

Su Fan can only be described as dirty and messy.

If it's too much, it can be said to be a garbage dump.

There are rows of low earthen houses on both sides of the street. They look like they are in a state of disrepair, but they are still in good condition.

Because at least it is a house where you can stay.

The streets of Huanghua Street are full of beggars sleeping on the street, in groups every few meters.

The separated space was covered with traces of dried excrement, and there was no place to stay.

Moreover, these beggars were lying next to them. Their clothes were in tatters and their hair was unkempt. There were only a few of them with straw mats spread on the ground. Most of them were huddled against the wall, snoring.

The entire Huanghua Street is filled with a strange mixed smell, the smell of sweat, stench, rancidity, and other five flavors.

Most of these people were in the Foundation Establishment stage. The only beggar who was in the Golden Core stage occupied a corner position that could protect him from the wind. He not only had a straw mat, but also a futon as a pillow, which was considered luxurious.

"Are these people living on the street? Why don't they go find work if they have hands and feet?"

Su Fan frowned, looking at the beggars who had fallen asleep, feeling a little angry in his heart.

I feel sad for his misfortune and angry for his inability to fight.

"Shh, boss, please keep your voice down, don't wake them up, otherwise your clothes will be dirty and you'll be in trouble."

Li Dian made a gesture of silence, and then knocked on the wooden door rhythmically.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

While tapping repeatedly, Li Dian answered in a low voice.

"Huanghua Street has been like this since ancient times. Those people can't afford the rent and can only eat a bite of steamed buns sent by the immortal officials every day."

After hearing this, Su Fan felt very puzzled. For these people who are rotten to the core, how can the immortal officials still take care of the food?

Seemingly sensing Su Fan's doubts, Li Dian began to explain.

"Because they paid the tribute money, they had food to eat. Those who didn't pay the tribute money have been expelled from the fairy city."

"Where did their fairy crystal come from?"

"You are a beggar. It is not easy for a person without two brushes to find a job. There are too many people. Boss, you must understand."

"..."

When Li Dian said this, Su Fan immediately understood the disadvantages of longevity.

Not to mention those immortals, people in the Foundation Establishment stage alone can live nearly two hundred years, let alone beyond the Foundation Establishment stage.

The jobs in Fairy City are fixed, but the number of people is always increasing. No wonder there are so many beggars.

Looking at these beggars with numb faces, perhaps begging to survive in the safe fairy city is their greatest happiness.

Seeing that Su Fan stopped talking, Li Dian on the side kept knocking on the door in the same rhythm as before. After a while, there was finally a sound from the other side of the door.

With a "squeak" sound, a gap appeared in the dusty wooden door. Under the moonlight, a somewhat wary young face appeared in front of Su Fan and Li Dian.

"Brother? Is that you?"

"Rong Rong, it's me, brother is back."

Li Dian chuckled, and the child named Rongrong took out the oil lamp behind him.

With the light of the oil lamp, Su Fan finally saw Rongrong's whole face clearly.

She has short hair, an oval face, big eyes, and sleepy eyes. She is a very cute girl, but she is extremely thin.

His complexion turned yellow, which was clearly caused by long-term malnutrition.

Wearing a light yellow cloth, the color has been washed and turned white, and the size is already too small. It does not fit Rongrong at all, and her wrists and ankles are already exposed.

"Brother, you are finally back."

Seeing Li Dian back, Rongrong immediately smiled, regained her energy, and was a little excited.

"Shh, let's go into the house and talk."

The door opened, and Rongrong finally saw Su Fan standing behind Li Dian. She was slightly startled, a little wary, and took a step back.

"Why are you hiding? This is the benefactor of our family. Call me quickly."

"Well, benefactor..."

Rongrong still trusted Li Dian. After listening to his words, Rongrong glanced at Su Fan timidly, still a little shy.

"What kind of benefactor, my surname is Lin, please call me Brother Lin."

Su Fan couldn't bear to hear such words, so he pushed Li Dian into the house and then closed the door.

"Okay, okay, Brother Lin."

The air in the room was quite fresh, and Su Fan could finally breathe through his nose.

But soon, Su Fan discovered something was wrong.

Because Rongrong, who was holding an oil lamp, kept staring at him.

"Your name is Rongrong, right? Why do you keep looking at me?"

Hearing Su Fan's question, Rongrong was a little hesitant. She glanced at Li Dian, hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to speak.

"Brother Lin, you are so beautiful."

Su Fan: "..."

Although he was indeed handsome, Su Fan was a little embarrassed to be said so by a child.

Li Dian smiled awkwardly, but what Rongrong said next made him petrified immediately.

"Brother, he has always said that he is very handsome. Everyone outside looks similar to him, but...it seems different."

Li Dian: "..."

Su Fan glared at Li Dian fiercely and cursed in a low voice.

"It's okay to lie to even children."

Li Dian didn't know what to say for a while. Tong Rong was so naive that he couldn't blame Rongrong, so he could only change the topic.

"What's for dinner? Where's Xiao Lun?"

"I drank some porridge at night, and Xiao Lun fell asleep."

Li Dian nodded, took out a piece of wrapped oil paper and handed it to Rongrong.

"Go and wake up Xiao Lun and let's eat together."

"Thank you, brother! What is this?"

"You'll find out later when you open it yourself?"

Li Dian smiled and rubbed Rongrong's head.

Rongrong immediately took the paper bag excitedly and ran into the bedroom.

Su Fan only has four words to describe the Li Dian family.

That is - a family with four walls.

There was a small hall measuring two meters by two meters, next to the bedroom. If it weren't for the two benches in the small hall, Su Fan would have sat directly on the floor.

There were no windows in the house, and it was a little damp. The wall coverings had long since peeled off and the walls were uneven. There was only a low table in the small hall, and you could see the bedroom if you poked your head.

After just one glance, Su Fan withdrew his head.

Because it was so shabby, the simple wooden bed was covered with tattered mattresses. In one corner of the room was the stove, and in the other corner was a tall wooden barrel, sealed with a wooden cover.

No need to guess, Su Fan knew what it was, and he couldn't accept it.

"Xiao Lun, get up quickly."

"Hmm...? Sister, didn't you say you weren't hungry when you fell asleep? Why did you wake me up again?"
To be continued...
