Legend of Ling Tian

Chapter 25: Little Beggar

Translator: DavidT Editor: celllll

Not a sound came from the inside!

Furrowing his brow, Ling Tian repeated himself in a deeper tone.

There was still no response.

Ling Tian began to get a little impatient. Since I’ve already found you, it shouldn’t matter to you whether I’m one of your captives, but rather, the fact that you cannot escape for the time being! If that’s the case, then you should walk out happily. Did you think that by hiding inside like a turtle in its shell, you would be safe?

Taking a step forward, Ling Tian kicked.

With a “huala” sound, the grasses and the piled up snow flew to the far distance. Below them was a tiny figure huddled up. This was the same beggar that Ling Tian saw who was fleeing for his life!

Ling Tian knitted his brows; such a large movement, yet the little beggar still continued to huddle there without any movement! Approaching closer for a better look, Ling Tian suddenly gave a mocking smile; turns out that the fellow had already fainted! It was no wonder that he only heard such a weak breathing; as it turns out, the little beggar had already sunk into a coma and could just die in his sleep at any moment….

Stretching out his right hand, he felt the little beggar’s forehead. Hm, it was burning hot to the point it was frightening. It seemed like he even caught a high fever! This situation was troublesome now. Ling Tian thought of home remedies used in his previous world to treat fevers, but after running through them all at once, he realized that not one could be used in this set of circumstances.

Tapping his head, Ling Tian came to the conclusion that he had to first take drastic measures to wake that little beggar up. Grabbing a handful of snow from his side, he gripped it tightly to mold it into a block of snow, before wiping it against the beggar’s face. Under the stimulation from the cold, the little beggar involuntarily let out a moan.

Grasping the block of snow, Ling Tian’s movements got faster and faster as he used the snow to rub on the skin of the little beggar. Even his palms could feel the snow warming up!

This was a method which was beyond crude, and yet, it was clear that this sort of method was extremely effective. For patients suffering from frost bites, such a method was actually the optimal way for them to treat them. While the little beggar was not actually suffering from frost bites, he after all caught his fever from the biting chill. Thus, Ling Tian was certain that such a method would definitely bring about some help.

As it happened, after one barely perceptible groan came from the little beggar’s throat, he finally slowly opened his eyes. Upon seeing Ling Tian, he clearly jerked in shock. In such a scenario and place, he would never have dreamed of meeting a boy roughly the same age as him, with white skin that looked like it was touched up with cosmetics! It was as if he had been dreaming all along!

Seeing that he had already woken up, Ling Tian let out a breath of relief, before asking, “How do you feel now that you have woken up?”

The little beggar stared distractedly for a while before replying, “Did you save me?” After he finished, he then found out that the grass bundle in which he had squeezed himself into had been thrown to the side. His gaze became penetrating as he asked guardedly, “Who are you? Why are you here?”

Ling Tian gave a slight smile, “I was following you from inside the city. You really can run!” While his tone was light, it was full of innate arrogance as though he was a person who had lived high up in the heavens!

The little beggar got even more panic-stricken, shaking his still-befuddled brain as he strenuously asked, “You’ve been following me? What motives do you have?”

Ling Tian snorted, the tips of his feet pushing aside the dead grass on the ground, “If I hadn’t followed you, then with that illness and the cold, I’m afraid you would be so dead.”

The little beggar was struck speechless. With his intelligence, it was not difficult for him to understand. If it was not for the fact that this child who was about the same age as him had found him, he would most likely have lost his life. He originally thought of resting a bit before continuing his journey, but who knew that due to his fatigue and the fact that he was suffering from hunger, he actually fainted.

Ling Tian cut to the chase, directly asking, “Why were those pursuers going after you? What have you done?”
