Chapter 83, the flashback, added points.

Pushing open the door.

Beggar walked into her small courtyard.

Walking a little further out, she arrived at the large courtyard where everyone had held a barbecue last night.

"People cannot eat for free."

Beggar cherished her current life very much and tried hard to demonstrate her value.

Getting up this early was also because she wanted to see what kind of work she could find to do.

Whether it was fetching water, doing laundry, or chopping wood... in any case, she couldn't just sit idle.

But then she saw that man sitting on a stone stool.

He seemed to have gotten up even earlier than her, his hands busy with something; it looked like he was carving something?

It seemed to be... a wood carving?

"Up already?"

Mu An stopped his 'handiwork' and smiled gently at Beggar.

The little girl nodded.

Immediately after, she saw the man beckon to her, signaling her to come over.

After hesitating for just a moment, Beggar chose to obey.

The other party gave her food, drink, and clothes... Compared to others, he was a truly wonderful person.

She could also clearly feel the most pure goodwill emanating from him.

Even if he asked her to offer her body the next second, she would be willing.

Or rather.

Perhaps the most valuable 'thing' she owned was this body.

It was just that she didn't know if he would look down on her, having once been so 'filthy'...

After moving a little closer, Beggar could see the wood carving in the man's hands more clearly.

Although it seemed to be just a semi-finished product, the expression of the figure on it was vivid and lifelike, just like a real person.

No, that wasn't quite right, it couldn't be said to be exactly like a real person.

Its image was different from the realism of a real person; there was a special sense of cuteness to it?

"I haven't asked for your name yet? Do you have a name?"

Mu An said.

Through the [ Enemy Detection Radar ], he knew the little girl's name as if he were cheating.

But in order to bring them closer, necessary communication was still required.

The little girl shook her head.

She had been an orphan since she was little and was picked up by an old Beggar who was blind in one eye.

When she was a little older, she went out to beg.

The old Beggar wasn't an educated person, so naturally, he wouldn't give her a name, at most calling her 'girl' or 'lass'.

Furthermore, having already been reduced to a Beggar.

To a Beggar, a name was the least valuable thing.

Even a mouthful of food snatched from a wild dog's mouth was more important than a name.

By the way.

The old Beggar died when she was five years old.

Well, he was beaten to death while fighting someone else for food.

And from that day on, Beggar became all alone.

"Since you don't have a name, how about I give you one?"

Mu An reached out and patted her head.

Hearing this, the little girl nodded without hesitation.

"How about we call you... Beggar, for now?"

This move.

Mu An was essentially 'reading from the script' while looking at the information displayed by the [ Enemy Detection Radar ].

Beggar didn't refuse and nodded again.

Still the same thing.

A name was just a form of address to her.

As long as she could eat her fill and survive, it didn't matter what she was called.

"Then... Beggar, please take care of me from now on!"

Mu An blinked at her and extended one of his large hands.

Beggar looked at the man, then at the large hand he extended.

She nervously wiped her small hand, then timidly reached it out.

The next second.

The large hand clasped the small hand.

It was as if their two fates were intertwined from this moment on.

"There are warm buns and snacks on the kitchen stove; go get whatever you want to eat.

Of course, the prerequisite is to wash up first! Uh, never mind, I'll demonstrate it for you once first..."

Considering that Beggar wasn't used to modern toiletries.

Mu An taught her hand-in-hand.

Beggar found it novel.

She had never seen the things called 'toothpaste' and 'toothbrush' before.

And after 'poking around' in her mouth with them, strange white foam appeared.

If not for the man reminding her that this stuff wasn't poisonous, but shouldn't be swallowed, she might have been scared out of her wits.

After all.

This was exactly the same symptom as 'foaming at the mouth after being poisoned'.

She recognized the towel used for washing her face afterward.

When she took a bath yesterday, the two older sisters had already taught her how to use it.

The little girl was like an obedient porcelain doll.

Allowing Mu An to handle her, she didn't cry or fuss; she was so sensible it was heartbreaking.

After washing up.

It was Beggar's favorite part: mealtime.

Not porridge, but buns and snacks with various flavors.

The variety was truly unbelievable.

"This walnut bun... this is a custard bun... this is a char siu bun..."

Mu An knew that children generally had a lot of curiosity.

He pointed to each type of bun and patiently introduced them.

And these things were naturally all brought over from the modern world by him.

Never mind Beggar, even royals accustomed to delicacies might not have eaten them.

The little girl couldn't stop eating, her eyes shining.

Occasionally squinting her eyes, it seemed as if she was eating the most delicious food in the world.

During this time.

Renée and Nina finally arrived fashionably late.

They had been quite worn out last night.

Mu An's strength was right there, majestic and inviolable.

Even taking a step back, it was they who provoked him first and started the war, so they couldn't blame anyone else...

Of course, it wasn't all bad news.

After this battle, both women's affection levels reached 100!

Nina's original affection level was 97, so reaching 100 was only a matter of time.

It was Renée, that girl, whose affection level was only 86, but it soared to 100 in one night, which truly left Mu An dumbfounded.

He had thought it would take at least a long time of getting along before her affection level would max out.

He never expected that the pure-hearted elf girl's affection would be so easy to farm!

"Hey, stinky man, I want to eat snail rice noodles!"

Renée put her hands on her hips.

After the most intimate interaction, she seemed to have gained some confidence and dared to openly call Mu An a 'stinky man'.

Mu An didn't dwell on it too much.

She could have all the confidence she wanted; he would just 'pierce through and scatter' her confidence again when the time came.

And by the way, re-establish his, Master Mu's, family rules.

The man waved his hand, and a steaming bowl of 'snail rice noodles' was conjured up.

It was naturally obtained from a lucky draw.

The taste was also many times better than what was sold on the market.

Renée went from initial disdain, hating its 'stench' and refusing to eat it to death, to later being unable to stop eating.

The only thing separating that was the 'first bite' attempt.

Heh, fickle woman!

"Nina, what do you want to eat? There are buns and snacks on the kitchen stove..."

Mu An was fair to all, naturally not forgetting to ask his own cute and thoughtful little cat-eared girl.

"Hmm, I'll just have two portions of jianbing guozi."

Nina thought for a moment and decided she still preferred jianbing guozi.

Besides it being delicious, it might also be because this was the first delicacy Mu An had treated her to, and it contained too many memories of the two of them.

That was why it added more flavor to this delicacy.

In short.

It was the memories that added extra points.
