Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The building had several families residing in it and one of them was dimly lit. It looked like that was the only place he could spend the night at. Lin Fan was exhausted from driving for the entire day.

*Knock knock*

“Is there anyone in there?” Lin Fan knocked and shouted.

After a rather long wait, it was as if the person inside had mustered his courage to speak. He looked at Lin Fan who was standing in a distance away and spoke softly, “Who are you?”

Although it was pretty dark, he realized that he was actually speaking to a kid. Furthermore, he looked like he was only eleven or twelve years of age.

“Hey little boy, I drove for the entire day today. Are your parents home?” Lin Fan asked.

Lin Fan realized that the child was a little defensive. However, it was logical for him to be acting that way since it was late at night and he was speaking to a stranger.

However, Lin Fan felt that the kid probably thought that he was trying to con him.

“It’s just that I would like to spend the night here. I drove for the entire day and I’m exhausted. I can pay you for it. Don’t worry, I’m not a baddie,” Lin Fan tried to speak nicely.

The boy hesitated for a moment after hearing what he said. Then, he asked softly, “How much can you pay?”

“How about $200?” Lin Fan was really helpless. It looked like this kid loved money. However, he felt thankful to have found a place to stay at. He wasn’t really bothered by the cost.

The boy was ecstatic after hearing what he said. He immediately rushed to the door. However, just before he opened the door, he asked, “You’re not a bad guy, right?”

Lin Fan didn’t want to talk too much. “Little boy, if I was a bad guy, do you think this wooden door can withstand my kick?”

The boy thought about it for a moment and felt that what he said was true. Then, he opened the door, “Alright. I’m alone at home. You can come in.”

Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. He finally managed to convince this kid. Although he was young, he was pretty vigilant.

“Little boy, what is your name?” Lin Fan smiled and asked.

The little boy looked at Lin Fan, “I am Yang Yuan, what about you?”

Lin Fan smiled, “You can just call me Uncle Lin.”

“Okay,” Yang Yuan nodded. “Uncle Lin, my parents aren’t home. You can take this room.”

“Alright,” Lin Fan nodded. He looked around the simple environment. It didn’t look like he was from a rich family. He felt a little hungry and took out $300. “I’ll pay you $200 for the room and $100 to use your appliance to cook something.”

Yang Yuan looked at the red dollar bills and was a little stunned. It was as if he was thinking if he should accept it. Then, he immediately grabbed the $300. “Uncle Lin, wait. I’ll cook something for you. I only have noodles at home. Are you okay with that?”

Lin Fan smiled, “Sure.”

He didn’t expect this kid to know how to cook.

When Yang Yuan went to the kitchen, he just sat on the stool and waited patiently.

He looked at the family portrait on the wall.

There were five people in the picture. This kid was the middle child.

However, he was puzzled as the kid was alone at home.

After a short while, Yang Yuan held a bowl of egg noodles and walked over.

“Uncle Lin, I am done. You can eat now,” Yang Yuan said.

Lin Fan looked at the noodles and smiled, “It looks good.”

Yang Yuan lowered his head and said humbly, “Thank you, Uncle Lin, for your compliment.”

After Lin Fan finished the bowl of noodles, Yang Yuan immediately washed the cutlery and bowl.

After driving for the entire day, he was really exhausted.

The next day!

*knock, knock*

“Uncle Lin, it’s time for breakfast!” Yang Yuan knocked on the door at 6 am in the morning.

Lin Fan opened his eyes and looked at his phone. He didn’t expect it to be 6 am already. He wore his clothes and went out of the room. Yang Yuan had prepared breakfast for him. There were porridge, pickled vegetables and two eggs on the table.

Lin Fan felt that his $300 was really well spent. Then, he sat down and started eating.

“Why aren’t you eating?” Lin Fan looked at Yang Yuan and asked.

“Wait, I have to keep the eggs,” Yang Yuan said.

After a while, Lin Fan saw that Yang Yuan was carrying a few eggs in his hands. He walked over carefully and opened the cupboard to place the eggs in a basket.

There were quite a lot of eggs in the basket. However, Lin Fan realized that some of them were rotten. He became even more curious.

“Where are your parents?” Lin Fan asked.

It was bizarre for a kid like him to be living alone.

Yang Yuan closed the cupboard and said, “My parents took my brother to the city to treat his illness. I’m the only one at home.”

“Why are there so many eggs?” Lin Fan asked.

Yang Yuan replied, “I’m planning to bring these eggs for my brother when I visit him. My mom said that we have no money. I think my brother must be starving and I’d like him to have these eggs.”

Lin Fan was stunned. He didn’t expect it at all. Then, he asked, “What illness does he have?”

Yang Yuan thought about it for a moment and replied, “I don’t really know. It has something to do with some white blood...”

“Anemia,” Lin Fan said.

After eating, Lin Fan packed up and was prepared to leave. Meanwhile, Yang Yuan packed his bag and was prepared to go to school.

Outside the house.

Yang Yuan was prepared to go to school while Lin Fan was going to continue his journey.

“Lil’ Yang, do you know who am I?” Lin Fan smiled and asked.

“Nope,” Yang Yuan shook his head.

Lin Fan said, “I’ll tell you a secret but you can’t tell anyone about it. I am actually a deity. Do you believe me?”

“Uncle Lin, you’re a liar. My teacher said that there aren’t any deities in this world,” Yang Yuan said.

“Hey, looks like I have to show you some skills for you to believe me.” Then, Lin Fan opened his palm.

Yang Yuan looked at Lin Fan palms and didn’t know what he was going to do.

However, Yang Yuan’s mouth widened in shock.

The air on his palm suddenly turned into ice.

With Lin Fan’s Wuxia major classification knowledge, this was an easy task.

He condensed the water vapor in the air and formed ice in his hand.

Yang Yuan’s mouth opened even wider in disbelief.

Lin Fan smiled and touched the icicles floating which broke the icicles. “Do you believe me now?”

Yang Yuan nodded immediately, “Uncle Lin, are you really a deity?”

“Of course, why would I lie to you? Didn’t you say that your brother is sick? I have an elixir for you. You can help your brother become healthy again. However, you have to promise me one thing,” Lin Fan said.

Yang Yuan immediately nodded after hearing that his brother could be cured. “Uncle Lin, I will definitely promise you.”

“Alright. Don’t tell anyone that I am a deity. Okay?” Lin Fan gently touched his head and said.

“Okay, I won’t tell anyone about it,” Yang Yuan nodded seriously.

“Okay. I believe you. You can have this elixir. Please keep it and do not lose it. Okay?” Lin Fan said.

Yang Yuan nodded, “Yeah, I won’t lose it.”

After that, Lin Fan waved to Yang Yuan and drove off.

It was just a simple incident to Lin Fan.

To Lin Fan, this was a small matter. However, to others, this was something major as he just saved someone’s life.
