Chapter 475 - 314: Flower of the Slums (Part 3)

Then go to the Church Court and rob them!

After all!

In this city, the Church Court controls the vast majority of resources!

...

Just as Lin Lang was lost in thought.

A seductive voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Sir, you seem a bit lost, do you need help?"

Lin Lang turned around.

He saw a very sexy foreign woman standing in front of him:

[Sofia]

[Appearance: 6.5 points]

[Recharge: 999+]

[Loyalty: 20%]

[Return Multiplier: 10]

[Combat Power: E--]

[Superpower: Fragrant Scent (Level 1)]

"It’s very cheap! Only a hundred Gold Coins for a night!"

She said, throwing a flirtatious wink at Lin Lang!

Damn!

This is a sharp-beaked creature!

Lin Lang instinctively took a few steps back:

"Forget it, let foreigners handle foreign hens!"

He quickly turned around and hurriedly left the place of trouble.

...

Along the way.

Lin Lang looked at his somewhat ragged attire.

In this bustling yet indifferent city!

He couldn’t find a place to spend the night comfortably!

Lin Lang even felt a bit downcast himself!

...

And just at this moment!

"Hey! Do you have nowhere to go?"

A clear voice called out to him!

Lin Lang turned to look:

[Audrey]

[Appearance: 9.8 points]

[Recharge: 0 times]

[Loyalty: 10%]

[Return Multiplier: 300]

[Combat Power: E+]

[Superpower: Thorns (Level 2)]

These ten young girls!

She had beautiful golden long hair, now casually tied with a faded ribbon, with strands of hair messily falling beside her cheeks.

The dress she wore had clearly been worn for a long time, with multiple patches, but was washed clean.

"I’ve been watching you for a while! Couldn’t pay for the room, got kicked out by the hotel clerk; couldn’t even afford the cheapest street girl, and ran away in fright..."

Audrey blinked her bright blue eyes, carefully sizing up Lin Lang—

This Eastern man, though plainly dressed, had a somewhat distinctive aura.

Yet he seemed just as helpless in this city.

Audrey continued to speak:

"Hmm, seems like you’re having some financial difficulties. Don’t worry, I was once just as destitute as you."

She habitually pursed her lips, saying her usual catchphrase.

"Everything will get better! If you don’t mind, I can take you in for a while. My name is Audrey!"

Lin Lang was slightly stunned, not expecting that in this unfamiliar city, a girl would reach out to him like this.

He looked at Audrey, and from her sincere eyes, he saw no hint of deceit, feeling a warm sensation rising in his heart.

He was also filled with curiosity about this girl—

In this Phantom Star City, ruled by the Church Court and obsessed with "gold," she was still so kind and optimistic!

It’s like a lotus blooming unstained from the mud!

After pondering for a moment, Lin Lang smiled and replied:

"Thank you so much. My name is Lin Lang, new here, and indeed have encountered many problems."

Hearing Lin Lang’s response, Audrey’s face broke into a bright smile.

As if helping others, brings her immense joy as well,

"Then come with me! Although my place is also very simple, at least it gives you a place to stay instead of sleeping on the streets!"

Lin Lang fixed his gaze on Audrey—

Seeing her clear blue eyes, like pristine lakes, shimmering with lively light, her long eyelashes resembling butterfly wings, each blink carrying a hint of playfulness.

Under her tall and delicate nose, her slightly upturned mouth appeared, revealing neat white teeth when she smiled.

The charm Audrey exuded in her every move made Lin Lang’s heart race!

An indescribable feeling quietly spread in his heart.

"Then I’ll trouble you, Audrey."

Lin Lang tried to keep his tone calm, but his slightly gleaming eyes betrayed the waves in his heart.

...

Audrey walked lightly in front, with Lin Lang closely following behind.

Along the way, the scenery of the city gradually changed.

The bustling streets and skyscrapers slowly receded behind!

Replaced by dilapidated houses, narrow alleys and a damp, musty odor pervading the air.

Lin Lang couldn’t help but feel a tinge of doubt.

But thinking of Audrey beside him, he suppressed his questions and continued to follow her forward.

Soon, they arrived in an area.

This is the slum of Phantom Star City!

Looking around, makeshift shacks were densely packed, the houses built with various broken materials teetering on the brink.

The ground was muddy, sewage flowing, and garbage casually discarded in every corner.

Children wearing clothes patched up, even tattered to the point of barely covering their bodies, ran and played in the narrow passages, their faces still brimming with innocent smiles.

Most adults appeared haggard, with eyes that held exhaustion and helplessness, either sitting at the door mending tattered clothes, or gathered in small groups having whispered conversations about livelihood.

"Audrey, you’re back?"

"Yes!"

"Did you bring someone back? Oh, this time it’s an Eastern person!"

"Yes!"

Audrey greeted people all along the way.

All the while leading Lin Lang into one of the shacks.

The space inside was small, with only a dilapidated bed, a table missing a corner, and a few simple stools.

The walls had several holes, with sunlight streaming through them onto the dusty floor, forming bright beams where countless dust particles danced freely.

"This is my home, you can sleep here tonight!"

Though the environment was simple!

Audrey didn’t feel embarrassed, instead, she spoke with a trace of pride!

Her eyes still glimmering with optimistic light.

"Tomorrow, I’ll take you to find work! Don’t worry, everything will get better!"
