Chapter 1399: Lucky Child
Little did she notice, but a certain white-haired man was looking at her from not far away with his Divine Sense. By his side, an identical man with black hair instead seemed quite annoyed. "Why the hell are you following her?"
Rean smiled in response, saying, "We have been traveling and getting into dangerous situations nonstop during the last few years. We're always on edge, aren't we? We might as well take this chance to rest a little."
Roan narrowed his eyes after hearing that. "Rest is indeed essential for one's progress. Especially since our cultivations went up an entire realm in just a few days. However, that doesn't explain why you decided to follow that girl. Is this your idea of resting? I wonder what Qia would think about it."
Rean shook his head, though. "I'm not following Falangia because I have an interest in her as a woman. It's just that when she said she wasn't any better than the bandits outside, I felt like that wasn't the entire truth. You know how I am. I like to help people. That's my way of resting."
Roan shrugged his shoulders when he heard that. "That's nothing more than indulging in your own desires."
The girl felt a chill on her back, and any thoughts of killing immediately disappeared. Soon after, she took their spatial rings and ran away. Then again, Rean said that she just couldn't kill. He didn't say she couldn't rob the guys. Seeing that scene made Rean's mouth twitch a little. 'Even though she knew I'm much stronger, she still risked taking their belongings. I guess everyone here is always risking their lives.' Rean didn't do anything to the girl, though. 'Let's just say that's the payment for their actions... I guess? Sigh... I feel like a hypocrite.'
In any case, Rean did intervene a few more times on his way, especially if kids were involved. It's just that he never killed anyone.
Dry Sky City wasn't as big as the cities Rean had been before, but it also didn't have the infrastructures. That being said, there were no teleport formations to send people around the city. If they wanted to go somewhere, they had to walk there. The good thing was that cultivators were much faster than common people, so Falangia still arrived at her destination in just thirty minutes or so.
With that, Rean understood something. 'No wonder she said maybe 'we' could leave the Treavin Continent one day. She has a child.'
Falangia entered a rundown house that had a very simple concealing formation inside. The good thing about it was that the scarce Divine Energy in the air was barely enough to keep the formation running. Her child seemed to be around eight years old, which showed that Falangia was impregnated when she was around ten or eleven years old.
Along the way here, Rean had seen plenty of pregnant women, especially women who had low cultivation, like those at the Body Transformation and Energy Gathering Realm. Many were below eighteen for sure, so Rean couldn't even feel surprised with that scene.
What surprised Rean was the fact that Falangia didn't abandon her child. Now, that's a rare thing in a place like this. 'Seems like I wasn't wrong. She isn't as bad as she portrayed herself. As far as I've seen, most of the kids in this city don't seem to have any parents to take care of them.. Falangia's daughter could be said to be a very lucky one already.'
