"Brother Li, are you still out so late?"

"Brother Cyril, why are you so late getting off work today?"

"Ugh, don't even mention it, I'm working overtime again. But I have some good news for you: the application for the paternity test has been approved, and the test is scheduled. We should have the results in a few days."

"That's really good news. By the way, Brother Cyril, aren't you Brother Elon's bodyguard? Why are you working overtime?"

"Because the young master is working overtime! We have to escort him back to his residence before we can go home."

"Oh, you guys must be working really hard, practically with no time for yourselves at all."

"Who can argue with that! My son has complained about me so many times, saying that I've never taken him out to play. But if I didn't do this job, how would he go to school? Without this job, I wouldn't be able to send him to school at Wangting."

Li Ming gently comforted him, "Brother Cyril, it's alright. The child will understand when he grows up."

Cyril sighed: "Ah—sometimes I envy you humans. Your children are adults at 18, unlike my son, who is over 60 and still doesn't understand anything."

"This..." Li Ming suddenly didn't know what to say. Cyril's son was old enough to be his grandfather.

"By the way, speaking of which, my son entered the Royal Academy today. If he works a little harder, our family might produce a legend in the future."

Congratulations!

Hehehe~

It's clear that Cyril was still very happy despite working overtime today.

"Would you like another bottle of [purifying potion] today?"

"want!"

Li Ming took a bottle of [purification potion] from the stall and handed it to Cyril.

The two chatted briefly for a while, mainly Li Ming asking Cyril if there had been any big news recently.

After a while, Cyril said goodbye and left, and Li Ming also packed up his things at the stall, preparing to return to the hotel to rest.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

A ragged little elf came to the stall.

Li Ming frowned as he looked at the little elf. Having stayed in the royal court for so long, he had never seen an elf dressed in such tattered clothes, let alone an underage elf.

He crouched down and stroked the little elf's messy, dry hair: "Little one, what's your name? Where are your parents?"

The elf was probably older than his grandfather, but he still couldn't help calling him that.

Because the little elf in front of us was really in a sorry state.

The oversized, ill-fitting clothes were clearly not his own; they must have been discarded by someone else.

Even so, the ill-fitting clothes were already worn out.

"Sir, my name is Carlyle. There are no adults in my family; it's just my younger brother and me."

This answer was exactly what Li Ming expected. If there were adults, they wouldn't be dressed like this. However, confirming it still made him feel a little sad.

"Carlisle, what brings you here?"

"Sir, may I be your sales assistant?"

"A sales assistant? Why would you think I need a sales assistant?" Li Ming looked at Carlisle in surprise. He thought the little elf was looking for him for money, but he didn't expect her to be looking for a job.

Carlyle replied timidly, "Sir, I've noticed you've been setting up your stall very early and closing very late these past few days. You must be really eager to sell your goods. I can have my companions help you attract customers, as long as you give us a small commission."

"But why should I believe you?"

"Sir, you don't need to believe me. Just give me a small commission for every person you bring."

"If you tricked the customer into coming here, and he finds out later and can't find you, he'll only come after me!"

"No, sir, I don't need to lie. I know what those adult elves want to do with your [purification potion]. I just need to tell the elves who need it, and they will come naturally."

Li Mingqi asked, "Oh? Tell me, why would they want to buy my [purification potion]?"

He asked many customers who bought the medicine, but no one answered him.

"Sir, as you know, men of all races have a need for sustained sexual activity."

"The [Purification Potion] you sell can continuously restore the body when an outbreak is about to occur, thus greatly increasing its durability."

"Holy crap!!!" Li Ming exclaimed in shock, "It has this function? How did you know?"

"A friend of mine saw an elf use it."

"Are you really going to tell me that? Aren't you afraid I'll refuse to hire you after hearing it?"

"Sir, I believe you are a good person. Even if you lied to me, I haven't lost anything, and I have nothing to lose."

Li Ming was silent for a moment. After that, he sighed, stood up, and patted the little elf's head. "Come over tomorrow morning. Give it a try. I want to see your abilities."

"Thank you, sir!"

......

The next day, Li Ming ate breakfast as usual and went outside the hotel.

Carlisle was already waiting for him outside the door; it seemed he had made quite a few preparations the night before.

Although the clothes were still old and black, and didn't fit properly, they were still clean and had no holes.

His hair was cut short and combed, unlike the messy hair he had last night, though it was still uneven, perhaps because he cut it himself.

"Carlisle, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Sir, I've already eaten!" Despite saying that, Li Ming noticed that Carlisle's gaze kept drifting towards the restaurant on the side, and he was also making swallowing motions.

He took out the prepared breadfruit and honey and handed it to Carlisle, saying, "This breakfast is for you, consider it a snack."

"Thank you, sir." Carlisle took the breadfruit and honey and put them in his pocket.

"have eaten!"

"gentlemen......"

"Eat if you want to work."

Carlisle was almost in tears as she choked back sobs as she ate the breadfruit and drank the honey in small bites.

"Take this and give it to your younger brother first, then come back later."

Carlisle looked up and saw that Li Ming had taken out another breakfast and handed it to him.

He paused for a moment, wiped his eyes, and then a happy smile spread across his face. "Sir, thank you! You're a good person!"

Watching Carlisle grab breakfast and run into an alley, Li Ming smiled and continued tidying up his stall.

Before the stall was even set up, a small hand reached out. "Sir, let me help you."

"Why are you back so soon?" Li Ming asked without looking up, taking a small step to the side.

"Sir, my brother has already given the breakfast to me. He asked me to thank you."

"You're welcome!"

The stall was quickly set up, and Li Ming placed the echo ball in front of it, then sat on a recliner and waited for customers to come in.

"Carlisle, whether business is good or not today depends on you."

"No problem, leave it to me, sir."

Carlisle skipped away and soon returned with a new guest.

"I heard you have that kind of medicine?" The customer looked around and asked in a low voice.

"Guest, I have all kinds of medicine, but we're currently promoting this [Purifying Potion]. It can restore energy, as well as physical strength and relieve fatigue. It works very well."

The customer's eyes lit up. "Yes, this is it [purifying potion]. Give me a bottle, I want to try it."

"A Moon Spring Crystal for your kind consideration."

"Tsk~" The customer reluctantly took out a Moon Spring Crystal. "Let me tell you, if it doesn't work, don't blame me for making trouble for you!"

"Please rest assured, I will be staying at Wangting for a while longer. If you have any after-sales issues, please feel free to contact me."
