Chapter 331: Chapter 329: Reunion with the Little Beggar Siblings_1

Translator: 549690339

After nearly three years of absence, both Little Beggar and his sister Niuniu, and Su Qingluo had undergone great transformations. Upon their sudden reunion, they were all visibly taken aback, sizing each other up in detail.

Little Beggar was tall and lean, with long limbs reminiscent of a bamboo pole because he only grew taller, not heavier.

In stark contrast was his sister Niuniu, with her large eyes and rosy cheeks. When she smiles, dimples form at the corner of her mouth, making her endearingly charming.

Su Qingluo stood tall and graceful just like three years ago, Yuxue was smart as ever, looking like a fairy out of a New Year painting with her twinkling, large black eyes, cheerfully surveying the sudden arrival of the siblings.

“Little Fairy, is that really you?”

After the brief shock, Little Beggar was overcome with intense emotions, his eyes reddening for a split second.

“Hello, Little Fairy Sister.”

Niuniu, grabbing the sleeve of her brother’s cloth nervously, followed her brother’s lead and politely greeted her.

“Yin’er told me that someone was bullying you two. It seems that these three years have not been kind to you.”

Su Qingluo glanced at the bruise near Little Beggar’s eye, squatting down to retrieve a piece of toffee from her Storage Ring and popped it into Niuniu’s mouth.

“Thank you, sister.”

Niuniu’s eyes gleamed with excitement as she savored the toffee.

The toffee was both sweet and soft, incredibly delicious.

“Not to hide it from you, these past three years, my sister and I have been wandering and living in distress, following the people of the Beggar Gang. We really suffered a lot.”

Little Beggar’s eyes dimmed, the pent-up grievances finally burst forth, and he couldn’t hold back the tears anymore.

“How did you get involved with the Beggar Gang again?”

Su Qingluo’s heart fluttered, her exquisite eyebrows furrowed, “Did you join the Beggar Gang?”

“Yes.”

Little Beggar wiped away his tears and nodded dejectedly.

“After our foster father died, my sister and I were left alone with no one to turn to, often bullied. I heard a fellow beggar say that the Beggar Gang is the largest faction in the world, and if you join them, those hooligans would dare not bully you.”

“Just for that reason, you joined the Beggar Gang?”

Wang Meng’s surprised voice drifted in from outside the living room. He lived in the front courtyard and came out to investigate upon hearing the noise, just in time to hear Little Beggar’s lament.

“You were only seven at that time, the Beggar Gang accepted you?”

Su Qingluo also felt something was off, “What do they want with such a little child?”

“The Beggar Gang, known as the largest gang in the world, relies on having numerous members. A child can also perform many tasks such as spying and sending messages. There is plenty of shady business going on inside.”

Little Beggar’s voice was filled with bitterness, “Bag Elder in the gang doesn’t care about the most lowly members at all, let alone the old, weak, sick, and disabled. When you get hurt or sick, he would turn a blind eye and leave you to fend for yourself.”

“Knowing all this, why did you still choose to stay with them?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Meng was furious, his voice jumped several octaves, “Isn’t this just making life hard for yourself?”

“The Beggar Gang has strict rankings. Once you join, you are not allowed to leave. Whoever dares to defy this rule will be put in a sack and beaten to death, then thrown into the river.”

Little Beggar cried softly, “All of us are rootless people, drifting around. If we die, the government won’t care.”

“Damn, this is even worse than actual begging.”

Wang Meng’s face changed drastically, and he spat out in disgust.

“Did the Beggar Gang members bully you guys just now?”

Su Qingluo’s pretty face turned solemn, a flash of coldness in her eyes.

“Yes.”

Little Beggar’s fists clenched suddenly, his eyes turned red, filled with resentment.

“The Beggar Gang is a mixed bag, full of wicked and evil people. I could bear their exploitation, but I never thought they would extend their greedy hands to my sister.”
