Xiuxian: Beautiful Women Like Clouds

Chapter 617 Brother

"I want to see my mother!" Qing'er's thin body trembled, and her only little hand wiped her tears as she cried and begged him. Her sad cry made people feel pity.

"Let your mother rest in peace!" Lu Hao let out a sigh, his words full of helplessness. He knew that if the little girl saw the horrifying scene in front of her, she would probably never be able to get out of the shadow.

After getting the little girl's consent, Lu Hao waved his hand, and the raging flames roared like a fire dragon, engulfing the simple bamboo house in flames. Soon, it turned into ashes.

The little girl looked at the home where she once lived, and all the happy and warm memories with her mother came to her mind. She seemed to see her mother's gentle smile and the scene of her mother calling her to eat. She couldn't help but burst into tears, as if the whole world had lost its color. Her little body kept shaking. At this moment, she was so helpless and lonely.

At this moment, a warm hand wiped away the tears from her face. Lu Hao squatted down and said gently, "If your mother knew, she wouldn't want you to cry so sadly."

He turned the remaining bodies into ashes and buried them. At the same time, he erected a tombstone for Li Hu and Qing'er's mother and placed some beautiful wild flowers on it. These flowers swayed in the breeze, as if sending the last blessing to the deceased.

"Do you have any other living relatives?" Lu Hao asked after a slight hesitation.

"Qing'er will be alone from now on!" Qing'er said while wiping away her tears.

"Then you must remember what the person who killed your mother looked like. If your uncle meets him, he can avenge you!" Lu Hao touched the little girl's head.

"I... I didn't see the devil's appearance clearly!" She lowered her head and sobbed softly. At this moment, she chose to lie. She knew that Zhao Xuan was very powerful, and even Uncle Zhang Hu was implicated and died. She didn't want the kind-hearted uncle in front of her to die tragically for helping her.

Hearing this, Lu Hao nodded without thinking too much, and then flew her back to Black Stone City on his sword.

"I have some spirit stones here. Take them and live a good life in the future!" He took out the remaining spirit stones from the storage bag.

"Uncle, I'm already very grateful that you helped me bury my mother. How can I accept your spirit stones again?" Qing'er pushed it away with her little hands and shook her head.

"Take it and live a good life in the future!" Lu Hao smiled slightly and gave the spirit stone to Qing'er. Then, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped.

"Uncle, can I go with you? Qing'er is very well behaved! She eats very little and can help you with washing clothes and cooking." Qing'er lowered her head and whispered timidly, her little hands nervously pinching the corners of her clothes, her heart pounding for fear of being rejected.

"I can't take you with me!" Lu Hao looked at Qing'er's expectant eyes and shook his head slightly. Not only was he wanted everywhere, but he also had the physique of a jinx. People with weak fate would easily die tragically if they were with him.

For example, the mutated dragon-scale horse has lived for more than two hundred years and has experienced thousands of battles, big and small, and has gone through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and countless difficulties and dangers in its life.

As a result, before Lu Hao had even been recognized as his master for a day, his body was torn into pieces and his head was tragically split in half.

Only Ergouzi is an exception. He has a strong character and chose to separate from Lu Hao at the critical moment. That is why he is able to live a happy life now. Otherwise, the grass on his grave would be several feet high.

There is indeed a type of person in this world of immortal cultivation who specializes in killing others but not themselves. Lu Hao is undoubtedly the best among them.

"Okay, then take care of yourself uncle. Qing'er will miss you in the future..." Qing'er's eyes were dim and she tried hard not to cry. But the moment she turned around, her delicate little face wrinkled and tears dripped down, wetting the ground. Her thin figure looked so lonely in the crowd.

The two walked towards each other in the crowd.

Lu Hao took a few steps forward and suddenly turned around in the crowd. Looking at the thin girl with only one small hand left, his heart was deeply touched. He could no longer control his heart and chased after her.

"Uncle!" Qing'er's big eyes were filled with tears. She also turned around and looked at the figure, shouted loudly, and then ran over.

"Come with me!" Lu Hao squatted down, hugged Qing'er who was rushing towards him, and showed a sunny smile.

"Yeah." Qing'er cried with joy, tears of excitement flashing in her eyes, and she kept nodding desperately.

Lu Hao smiled, he stretched out his big hand, held Qing'er's small hand tightly and walked forward.

"Delicious candied haws, they'll make you feel refreshed all day long!" An old man shouted to the passers-by.

"Boss, are your candied haws good?" Lu Hao couldn't help asking. He couldn't understand why eating a candied haws could make him feel happy all day long.

"Don't worry, we make these candied haws seriously!" The old man laughed.

"Boss, buy me two strings of candied haws. Only sweet ones are allowed, no sour ones!" Lu Hao took two steps forward and chuckled.

"Young man, you really know how to make demands!" The old man rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily.

"Hehe!" Qing'er was amused by Lu Hao's question, and her crisp laughter echoed like a silver bell.

Qing'er sat on his shoulders and ate sweet candied haws. Although this uncle looked a little ugly, he gave her an indescribable sense of security.

"Can I call you brother from now on?" Qing'er blinked her big eyes like black gemstones and looked at him expectantly.

"Why do you call me brother? Is it because I'm so handsome?" Lu Hao blew his bangs with a little pride.

"Because uncle looks very young, more like an older brother. As for being handsome, it doesn't seem to suit you. But in Qing'er's heart, you are the most handsome!" After saying that, Qing'er took the initiative to hug his neck and kissed him on the cheek.

Lu Hao touched the place where he was kissed and smiled bitterly. He was actually not handsome at all, but this little girl was quite good at comforting people.

"Brother!" Qing'er couldn't help but shout in a clear voice, with a happy smile on her little face.

"Hmm~" Lu Hao responded with a smile when he heard the call.

What Qing'er didn't know was that from the moment she called Lu Hao brother, her life had quietly undergone a major reversal.

Lu Hao carried Qing'er on his back and walked towards the distance, telling all kinds of lively and interesting jokes along the way. His funny actions made Qing'er laugh like a silver bell, which diluted a lot of her inner sadness.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, two figures, one big and one small, were elongated, and the scattered light seemed to be inlaid with gold edges on them, outlining a beautiful picture.
