Chapter 699: Chapter 699: The Act of Righteousness (1)_1

Dinner was resolved at a small noodle shop with a modest storefront in the county town. Since they had eaten too well at noon, while ordering in the evening, Cai Wei deliberately chose very light dishes, four bowls of pearl soup and four light side dishes. Although they were vegetarian, they tasted very refreshing, presenting a stark contrast to the greasy meat dishes consumed at noon.

However, this was only Cai Wei’s personal opinion.

Halfway through the meal, she saw Brother Ying’s pained and conflicted bird face, awkwardly swallowing the bland pearl soup in front of him, as if he was swallowing medicine.

"What’s wrong? Don’t like it?"

Cai Wei put down her chopsticks, looked at Brother Ying, then turned to Old Turtle and Chang Mei.

Old Turtle was fine, enjoying his food as usual; but Chang Mei looked like he was nobly sacrificing himself, as if he was not eating food, but consuming a deadly poison!

"Clang!"

The soup spoon was put down. Seeing Cai Wei’s inquiry, Brother Ying simply didn’t hide his distaste for vegetarian food anymore.

"Master, I want meat!"

Cai Wei massaged her brow, then suddenly reached out, grabbed his round body, squeezed a couple of times, causing Brother Ying to caw loudly in protest.

"Master, don’t pinch me, you don’t feed me meat, and you bully me..."

Cai Wei sighed, "It’s not like I’m not giving you meat, look at you, how fat have you become? You’ll turn into a meatball if you continue eating meat every meal, how will you fly then?"

Brother Ying didn’t care about his physique or whether he could fly in the future, all it knew was that it wouldn’t be happy without the food it liked!

"I want meat, I want meat..."

It rolled on the table and continued to wail.

Cai Wei, annoyed by its noise, had to compromise, "Stop making a scene. After dinner, we’ll go out and buy some snacks for you, but no more meat for anyone, especially at night!"

Seeing that Cai Wei had backed down, Brother Ying accepted the victory graciously, got up from the table in one ’flap’, and said while smiling flatteringly, "Master, you’re so good!"

Cai Wei shot him a sidelong glance, quietly finished the pearl soup in her bowl, called back several divine beasts into the Space, paid the bill, and left the noodle shop.

By this time, it was dark outside. Cai Wei roamed about in the streets, looking around, planning to find a dessert shop to buy some tasty snacks for Brother Ying!

While searching, she suddenly noticed a rag-dressed little girl by the roadside, looking timidly at her with big, black eyes.

The girl was eight or nine years old with big, black, and bright eyes. Seeing that Cai Wei’s gaze had turned towards her, she shrank a little, like a frightened rabbit, and timidly lowered her head.

"Zhao Di?"

As soon as Cai Wei saw the little girl’s face, she was surprised and said, "The girl in front of her was Zhao Di, the little daughter of Madam Yin, whom she had saved last time in Yushu County. And Gao Sanchun’s little sister Zhao Di. However, shouldn’t they have already gone to the Capital to meet their uncle, who was a chef? Why are they still here?"

Moreover, why was Zhao Di’s attire so wretched!

Hearing Cai Wei’s voice, Zhao Di looked up in surprise and said joyfully, "Saviour sister, it’s really you, I thought I was mistaken!"

Cai Wei glanced around and saw no adult near Zhao Di, and asked curiously, "Zhao Di, why are you here alone? Where are your mother and sister? How can they let you out so late alone?"

Hearing Cai Wei mention her mother and sister, Zhao Di’s eyes immediately turned red. Her lips trembled as she burst into sobs. While crying, she told Cai Wei about her family’s ordeal over the past few months.
