Spirit City.
On the bustling breakfast street, hawkers' cries echoed from both sides, and the air was filled with the aroma of various delicacies.
People were coming and going everywhere, an endless stream.
Since he was already living outside, he could no longer eat at the orphanage.
Gu Han could only set off from his home and make his way here.
"Uncle, give me two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk."
Arriving at a steamed bun stall, Gu Han pulled a few bronze coins from his pocket and reluctantly handed them to the owner uncle.
He planned to buy two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk, then go home.
It wasn't that he didn't want to eat better.
The main reason was he had no money!
Although he was an orphan.
When he was at the orphanage, the orphanage would often assign various tasks, like cleaning.
As a reward, they would give some bronze coins.
But after all these years, Gu Han hadn't actually saved much money, only a dozen silver coins.
A dozen silver coins wasn't a small amount.
At least it was enough to eat a bowl of beef noodles or something similar.
But spending it like that felt a bit too luxurious for Gu Han.
After acknowledging Bibi Dong as his Teacher, Gu Han intended to find a way to get some pocket money from Teacher Bibi Dong later to improve his life.
However, before he got the money, Gu Han still felt it was better to be cautious.
But at that moment, on the breakfast street.
A young woman, tall and slender with graceful curves, wearing a long white gilded dress, possessing fair, jade-like skin, long golden hair, and exquisite features that were both pure and charming, also walked over.
She intended to find a place to eat breakfast on this breakfast street.
And after walking over, Hu Liena almost immediately noticed Gu Han in the crowd.
After the Heavenly Evolution System compensated for his physical flaws.
Gu Han's physique had now become a perfect physique.
Whether it was the handsomeness of his appearance or the exquisiteness and harmony of his features, it was flawless.
This instantly captured the attention of Hu Liena, who was a fan of good looks.
"Oh, what a lovely younger brother!"
Hu Liena's heart fluttered, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at Gu Han.
As Xie Yue's sibling.
With Xie Yue as her older brother, what Hu Liena most longed for was to also have a younger brother.
And as someone who appreciated good looks, Hu Liena most hoped to have an incredibly delicate, beautiful, and adorable little boy as her younger brother.
Unfortunately, after spending over a decade in Spirit City, Hu Liena had never seen anyone who met her expectations.
But upon seeing Gu Han, Hu Liena's instincts screamed: It's him! It's him!
And watching Gu Han, dressed in blue, reluctantly hand a few bronze coins to the steamed bun stall owner, take two steamed buns, and a cup of soy milk, Hu Liena felt a pang of sympathy.
This little younger brother is too pitiful!
He can't even afford breakfast.
Just as Gu Han took the steamed buns and soy milk and was about to turn and leave, Hu Liena suddenly blocked his way, extended her jade hand to wave, and said with a charming smile on her pretty face.
"Hello, little younger brother! My name is Hu Liena, what's your name?"
Hu Liena?!
After carefully observing Hu Liena for a few moments, Gu Han's heart tightened, and he quickly retreated several steps.
After leaving his home, he had heard many people on the way discussing him, the lucky good-for-nothing adopted by Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, and their attitudes were not friendly at all.
In Gu Han's estimation, Hu Liena's attitude should be similar.
What exactly is this seductive senior sister up to?
Does she truly not recognize him?
Or does she want to play a trick on him?
"Little younger brother, don't be nervous. Big sister just thinks you're cute and wants to treat you to breakfast."
"You're still growing, eating only steamed buns and drinking soy milk isn't enough, you know!"
Noticing that Gu Han seemed a bit wary, Hu Liena explained gently, saying.
She really didn't recognize me?
Realizing that Hu Liena seemed to genuinely not recognize him, Gu Han also lowered his guard.
However, he was still a bit puzzled about Hu Liena wanting to treat him to breakfast, and couldn't help but ask.
"Sister, why do you want to treat me to breakfast?"
"Because you're cute!"
Hu Liena said very matter-of-factly.
"Alright! Alright! Come with me, big sister, I'll take you to eat some delicious food. Look how thin you are."
"This is Spirit City, so you don't need to be afraid. I won't abduct you and sell you!"
Her beautiful eyes gazed sympathetically at Gu Han's not-so-sturdy physique, Hu Liena took Gu Han's hand, intending to take him to eat something good.
And after thinking it over, Gu Han ultimately did not refuse.
"Oh, by the way, little younger brother, I still don't know your name?"
"Uh, my name is, Han Xiaogu."
An hour later.
Under the guidance of the little rich woman Hu Liena, on this breakfast street, Gu Han tried many delicacies he had never eaten before.
Things like crab roe buns, rainbow puddings, small cakes, and so on.
Although Gu Han had eaten these in his previous life.
But after transmigrating to Douluo Continent, after so many years, Gu Han had never tasted these again, not even beef noodles, and he still felt very nostalgic.
"Sister, thank you!"
Having been treated to so much by Hu Liena, although he still didn't quite understand Hu Liena's intentions, Gu Han still sincerely thanked her.
"Thank me for what! From now on, you're my, Hu Liena's, younger brother. Where do you live? From now on, big sister will take you to eat!"
Hu Liena couldn't help but pinch Gu Han's cheek, her charming and beautiful face full of smiles, saying.
"I live in Green Shade District."
Thinking that he could freeload meals and eat delicious food every day from now on, Gu Han's heart fluttered, and his address slipped out unconsciously.
"Oh!"
Hu Liena was slightly stunned, very surprised.
"What a coincidence! Xiaogu, I happen to be going there too. Let's go together. I'll see where your house is."
And so, Gu Han and Hu Liena walked together.
"Oh, by the way! Xiaogu, do you know what I'm going to Green Shade District for?"
On the way, Hu Liena asked Gu Han with a smile.
"What for?"
Gu Han very timely played along.
"Hehe."
Hu Liena smiled: "Xiaogu, did you go see yesterday's Spirit Awakening Ceremony?"
"I heard that at this Spirit Awakening Ceremony, there was actually a little good-for-nothing with only 0.25 innate spirit power who was taken as a disciple by His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff."
"Now, everyone in Spirit City is talking about this. I just happen to know where he lives, and I'm preparing to go and see what about this little good-for-nothing attracted His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff so much that he could be taken as a disciple by His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff."
As she spoke, Hu Liena even gripped her delicate fist in indignation and waved it in the air.
Little good-for-nothing...
Gu Han's mouth twitched.
Now, he was truly certain that Hu Liena probably didn't know his identity.
"How about it, Xiaogu, do you think this little good-for-nothing deserves to be taken as a disciple by His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff?"
"Well, I think that's not for us to say."
As they walked and chatted, Gu Han and Hu Liena arrived at Green Shade District, in front of a detached courtyard.
The house number on it read: Eight.
"Xiaogu, I've arrived at my destination, it's here. Where's your house? Where is your house?"
Hu Liena asked curiously.
"Actually, my house is right here."
Gu Han couldn't keep up the act anymore. After a moment of silence, he pointed to the courtyard in front of them and said.
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's pretty face instantly stiffened, and she let out a dry laugh.
"Xiaogu, you're joking, right!"
"This is clearly where Gu Han, that little good-for-nothing, lives. How could it be you? Your name isn't Gu Han!"
Wait!
Suddenly, Hu Liena's beautiful eyes widened.
Han Xiaogu... Han Xiaogu, Gu Han?!
