Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower

The two of them waited and waited, making sure there were no more Underworld Soldiers bubbling in the vicinity, and then gently threw a small flame into that mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

Shortly after, the sound of crackling and burning corpses echoed in the alley.

From beginning to end, they remained on the rooftop, never descending.

They watched solemnly and attentively as the flames soared into the sky. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Just as they were carefully observing, they suddenly heard soft footsteps behind them.

Bai Junjun turned his head keenly and saw a child’s silhouette swiftly darting away, disappearing at the end of the alley in no time.

Both of them were stunned, as they could still tell the difference between living people and Underworld Soldiers. That child was clearly human!

Could it be there are still living people in the Imperial Capital?

Upon discovering this, the two of them were both surprised and delighted. They did not hesitate and immediately flew up in pursuit.

However, the child was very cunning, familiar with every corner of the Imperial Capital, darting through the alleys like a fish, even able to crawl through dog holes!

If Bai Junjun and Li Wenli didn’t have the Special Ability, they would surely have lost the boy.

Even so, it took all their effort to finally catch up to the child.

They saw him leaning against a door, gasping for breath.

The child thought he had escaped, taking a good rest before preparing to leave.

But just as he wanted to straighten up and walk away, a mocking voice came from behind him.

"Kid, I’m tired, and you’re not tired from running yet?"

Hearing this voice had an effect on the child no less than hearing the voice of the Messenger of Death; he shivered, cold sweat instantly breaking out.

Turning around, the terrifying person who had been madly killing Underworld Soldiers on the rooftop was right behind him!

"You... what do you want to do?"

The fear in the child’s eyes couldn’t be faked, he was trembling with fear.

His face was almost cramping.

Li Wenli laughed: "You’re the one who should tell us what you want; we’re not Underworld Soldiers. Why did you run when you saw us?"

"I... I have no money!" The child’s eyes flashed with anger: "Even if you catch me, it’s useless! And... and I was just passing by, you didn’t save me. If you want to extort me, I will never agree!"

Bai Junjun raised an eyebrow: "Life or death situation, why would we extort money from you? Did you mistake us for someone else?"

"?" The child looked at them trembling: "You... you’re not from Dongsheng Tavern?"

"Oh?" Bai Junjun raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, the Dongsheng Tavern in the Imperial Capital is still there, and it seems... they’ve made quite a bit of money?

"Kid, tell us what’s going on, and I’ll give you some candy."

Li Wenli showed a gentle face, pulling out a piece of golden honey candy.

Seeing the honey candy, the child swallowed unconsciously.

However, he resisted internally and ultimately did not nod, just said: "I don’t take food given in contempt, I don’t want your candy."

"This kid is pretty tough; aren’t you afraid of death?"

"I... I’m of course afraid of death, so I can make a deal with you. I’ll trade information about the Imperial Capital for my life. Is that okay?"

Li Wenli couldn’t help but laugh; what a straightforward child.

He doesn’t want candy, only wants to save his life... clearly, he could choose to save his life and take the candy too, but ends up negotiating foolishly, selling himself and counting money for others.

Li Wenli smiled helplessly, nodding: "Alright, and I assure you, I never lie to children!"

"I can testify." Bai Junjun crossed his arms and nodded along.
