Chapter 4: Black Moon

  "We're leaving." Yang Jue took a step forward and grabbed the little girl's hand, who was almost killed by Chris' guard, and smiled at her.

  The little girl was also frightened by what had just happened and let Yang Jue pull her hand, leading her to push through the crowd and walk towards the other end of the street.

  It wasn't until then that Chris reacted, suddenly shouting like a slaughtered pig: "Murder! Murder! Killer! You can't escape! Everyone has seen what you look like! You can't get away!" Chris stupidly shouted while chasing after Yang Jue.

  Who would have thought that Yang Jue would suddenly stop in his tracks, turn around and smile at him, saying: "Idiot! Who said I wanted to run away?"

  "You... you... you..." Chris saw him stop, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. "Murderer! You... you dare to say what your name is, where do you live?" Chris shouted.

  "Why not? I'm still the same person, my surname hasn't changed. As for where I live, to be honest with you, the horses in your household are all fed by my father." Yang Jue said with a smile.

  "You're saying......" Chris's eyes widened.

  Yang Jue had already pulled the little girl's hand and left before he could ask again.

  "Good kid! So your parents are servants in my household! Just you wait and see! You killed one of my guards, no matter what kind of magician you are, you won't escape death!" Chris thought to himself as he gazed at the receding figure of Yang Jue.

  ……

  As she walked along the road, the little girl kept her head tilted and stared at Yang Jue without blinking. Yang Jue felt uneasy under her gaze and asked her what she was looking at.

  "Wow, little brother, you're so amazing! Are you a magician? What kind of magic did you just use? You actually killed that person with one hit!" The little girl's face was full of admiration.

  "Thunderbolt technique, a third-level lightning system magic." Yang Jue smiled and replied.

  "Oh." The little girl nodded and then asked again: "Little brother, I just heard you tell that person, your name is Yang... Jue, right?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Yang Jue, what a strange name! Brother Yang Jue, you're not from around here, are you?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Yang Juege, where are you from? And why did you save me?" The little girl was eager to get answers to many questions.

  "I saved you because I admire you. As for where I'm from, it's not clear at the moment." Yang Jue said with a smile.

  "Admire me? Admire what about me?" The little girl asked in puzzlement.

  "I admire that you were caught, but still stubborn and refused to bow your head easily. This shows that you have backbone. I also admire that in order to bite Chris, you pretended to surrender, then took advantage of the guard's carelessness, pounced on Chris, and bit him fiercely. This shows that you are very clever, knowing how to deceive others for a purpose, and acting decisively, with accurate and ruthless moves." Yang Jue said slowly.

  This remark was somewhat difficult to distinguish between praise and blame. The little girl listened, and a complex expression flashed across her face, then she fell silent.

  "Tell me, little sister, what's your name?" Yang Jue asked.

  "My name is Hei Yue."

  ……

  Through inquiry, Yang Jue learned that Hei Yue was trafficked by human traffickers about half a year ago and escaped about ten days ago when the trafficker was not paying attention. However, after she escaped, she couldn't remember where her home was or who her parents were, so she had no choice but to wander the streets and beg for a living, just like an orphan.

  At just six years old, she was able to escape from bad people, which is enough to show that Hei Yue is an extremely clever girl.

  "Yang Jue brother, where are you taking me?" Hei Yue asked as he saw Yang Jue leading him out of the city.

  "Take you home. I want my parents to take you in and make you my sister." said Yang Jue.

  “……”

  "Want me to be your little sister?" Hei Yue's mouth was agape, and she couldn't say a word. However, at this moment, her hand was being held by Yang Jue, and the warmth transmitted from his hand made her feel safe. Also, because of the fear of that homeless and helpless feeling, she grasped Yang Jue's hand tightly, making her feel like grabbing onto a lifesaving straw, so no matter what, she didn't want to let go, allowing Yang Jue to lead her home.

  Back in the district where people lived below Nuremberg, entering the house, only to see parents Joseph and Mary had already prepared a dinner table.

  "Dad, Mom, this is Hei Yue." Yang Jue first introduced Hei Yue to his parents. "Hei Yue, these are my dad and mom," he said again to Hei Yue.

  "Little Jue, what is this?" Joseph and Maria looked at the dirty little beggar brought back by Yang Jue and asked in confusion.

  "Dad, Mom, I saw Hei Yue all alone on the streets, without a father or mother, so pitiful and helpless. Luckily, I saw her being bullied by bad people, so I brought her back. I want to ask you to take her in, let her be your daughter, and my little sister." Yang Jue said seriously.

  "Ah……” Joseph and Maria simultaneously opened their mouths, shocked into speechlessness. However, they quickly regained their composure, exchanged a glance, nodded at each other, and then Joseph loudly declared: "No problem! Let's listen to Xiao Jue. Black Moon, from today on, you're a member of our family! I'm your dad, Maria is your mom! Please be assured, we'll treat you just like our own biological daughter! As long as we have food to eat, you'll have food to eat too, and we won't mistreat you at all! And, Maria and I have always dreamed of having a daughter, but unfortunately, we're both a bit old now, so it's not possible... Who would have thought that Xiao Jue would bring us a daughter today? It's really wonderful! Heaven is treating us too well! Maria, why don't you quickly take your precious daughter to wash up and then eat?"

  "Okay, okay! Hei Yue, come with Mommy, we'll go wash our hands and then have dinner. Don't worry, from now on, consider this place your home..." Maria said affectionately as she led Hei Yue to the bathroom by the hand.

  Hei Yue turned her head and glanced at Yang Jue, seeing that Yang Jue nodded to her, she obediently followed Maria away.

  After seeing them leave, Yang Jue said: "Dad, thank you for agreeing to take in Hei Yue."

  "What are you talking about, kid? You're the pride of Mom and Dad. Although you're only six years old, Mom and Dad both know that you're a little genius and you're completely different from other kids, thinking very maturely! So whatever decision you make must have your own reasons, how could Mom and Dad possibly object?" Joseph said with a smile.

  Yang Jue was deeply moved by these words.

  Since his rebirth in this world, his parents have always been very good to him. Not only did they take care of him meticulously, but everything was also centered around him. No matter what he said, they would not oppose it. Today's acceptance of Hei Yue is a perfect example.

  "Dad and Mom, you're too good to me! One day in the future I will definitely repay your kindness." Yang Jue said solemnly.

  "Alright, we'll wait for that day."
