Chapter 339 First, settle the people in.

Even at night, the imperial city remains dazzlingly prosperous.

Lu You walked along the road, a warm breeze gently caressing her, carrying a touch of tenderness.

A thoughtful look appeared in her eyes. If she could recruit Yan Jiu and use him properly, he would definitely be of great help to her in the future.

She stopped at the entrance of the alley, her fox-like eyes, glistening with moisture, looking around.

"Strange, this seems to be the place described in the book, but why..."

She had heard her friend mention it, but she was on a mission at the time, so she didn't listen carefully and only vaguely heard a few keywords.

However, after searching around the alley entrance for a long time, no one was seen.

There wasn't a single human figure, not even a trace of an animal.

Lu You frowned slightly, her long, slender fingers lightly rubbing her chin.

Could it be... that someone beat them to it?

"666, is there any way to locate Yan Jiu's position?"

It's possible, but the energy cost...

"buckle."

[Beep—Location activated, energy level -20.]

As soon as the notification sound ended, a blue map made of data appeared in front of Lu You, visible only to her.

The map shows a small, moving green dot; its location is—the restaurant.

As soon as the location appeared, Lu You rushed over without stopping. The distance to her destination was neither too close nor too far.

It is indeed the place my friend mentioned, but...

She went too far.

When Lu You arrived, she saw the boy being kicked out of the restaurant.

"Pah! He looks all respectable, but he's a pickpocket. Why would a perfectly good person like him learn to steal?"

The manager spat on the ground and then closed the seemingly magnificent door.

The boy silently got up from the ground, his hands trembling slightly as he picked up the black baseball cap that had fallen to the ground, dusted it off, and put it back on his head.

His handsome, delicate face was bruised, clearly from recent violence. He walked silently from the restaurant entrance to a corner of an alley, sat down, and looked somewhat lonely.

My stomach gave me the timely signal of hunger.

He touched the pocket of his faded clothes and pulled out only a few coins, which seemed out of place in the entire capital city.

"..."

Seeing these things from afar, Lu Youmin pursed her lips, her fox-like eyes filled with a hint of complexity.

I knew that Yan Jiu had a miserable childhood, but I never imagined that he was so miserable that he couldn't even afford a meal.

Even poorer than her!

Yan Jiu lowered her eyes and took out a small bag of leftover bread from her pocket.

Just as he was about to take a bite, a slender hand snatched it away.

A clear, melodious voice with a hint of allure came from above.

"This kind of food, which has no nutritional value, is not suitable for dinner."

The girl's lips curved slightly, and her red dress made her look like a bewitching fairy in the dark night, backlit by the light.

Yan Jiu paused for a few seconds, then silently raised her eyes.

Before I could even see the person in front of me clearly, my vision blurred and I was plunged into darkness.

Lu You: ? ? ?
He looked at the boy who had been caught by him just a second before he fainted.

She lowered her eyelids, inwardly cursing, "Damn it?!" She'd already fainted?
[Host, why did he faint?]

"He probably fainted from hunger."

Eating this all day long, it's no wonder they'd faint from hunger.

What about the people?

"..."

Lu You easily lifted the unconscious person up, her strength was almost superhuman.

She said indifferently, "Let's settle him in first, and we'll talk about the rest when he wakes up."
