72 Dream

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, look at that girl, how pitiful. She is being sold to the brothel by her own big sisters… her eyes look so dead... Let's buy her?"

"I don't care. If you want a helper, just buy her." He replied, feeling his heartache at the girl's expression as she was being examined by a bunch of brutes with lustful gazes.

"It might get rowdy though… she is really beautiful."

"Look at you girl, why are you so dead-eyed?" Han Li asked with a face filled with irritation.

"He is right, Ruo, you should try to be a bit more lively. We are not like those people, nobody wants to hurt you here. And even though this kid looks mean with his red eyes, he is my son. He is actually kinder than me." Yue Li said as she petted the girl's white hair.

She looked at them with a blank gaze. She was like a child even though she was already an adult. But a child who had been deeply scarred.
