Chapter 255 Why is it called the Dark Empire?

Yan Li and the others came to the streets of the Dark Empire.

When they went out onto the street, Yan Li and the others were a little stunned.

Because they found that the situation on this street was not as prosperous as they had imagined, but rather seemed very depressed.

Especially the clothes worn by those people on the street, which do not match the wealth of the Dark Empire at all.

The streets of the entire Dark Empire gave Yan Li and his friends the feeling that they had walked into an extremely poor country.

"Is this the Dark Empire? Or have we accidentally walked into another dimension?" Yan Li's face was full of disbelief.

"This is the most prosperous street in the Dark Empire." Xiao Lingze looked at Yan Li with amusement.

It seems that Li'er doesn't know that the rich people in this dark empire are the royal family, not the common people.

If you look at the people of the Dark Empire, this place can be considered a slum.

"Girl, girl, please be kind, please be kind, let me have a steamed bun, my grandson is starving to death." A skinny and dark hand stretched out in front of Yan Li.

Yan Li looked towards the man and saw that he was an old man in his twilight years.

Seeing this, Yan Li took out a plate of meat buns from her space and handed it to him.

"Thank you, thank you." The old man was so excited when he saw the meat buns that he kept wiping away tears.

"Old man, please eat quickly." Yan Li looked at the old man with sympathy.

The old man hesitated for a long time before he reached out his hand and picked up a meat bun and started to eat it.

"You are such a coward, you have five hungry children at home, and you ate such a delicious food." Just as the old man took a bite, a burly woman ran over and snatched the meat bun from his hand.

Even the one in his hand was no exception.

"Chun'er, I just haven't tasted meat buns for a long time. I want to have a bite, so that I won't have any regrets even if I die." The old man said.

"You old bastard, you won't live much longer. It would be a waste to give you a bite." The woman said harshly, her face full of viciousness.

Seeing this, Yan Li's face showed a hint of anger.

She snatched the meat bun from the woman's hand and kicked her to the ground.

"This meat bun is given to the old man by me. You don't deserve to eat it." Yan Li looked at the woman coldly.

"It's so unfair. I'm doing this for my five children. How can you, a group of people, bully a woman like me?" Who would have thought that the woman would actually sit on the ground and wail.

As the woman wailed, more and more people gathered around, and they all started pointing fingers at Yan Li and the others.

After all, they are all poor people, and subconsciously they sympathize with people who are in the same situation as them.

"Please don't misunderstand. This girl gave me meat buns out of pity for me, and Chun'er snatched the buns away, which made the girl angry." When the old man saw that everyone was blaming Yan Li, he quickly stepped forward to explain.

It can be seen that this is a very kind old man.

Everyone understood after hearing this.

"He is so old, such delicious meat buns should be left for his grandson, but he greedily took a bite of it." The woman named Chun'er rolled on the ground.

Everyone:...

After hearing the cause and details of the incident, I wanted to slap Chun'er.

The meat buns were originally meant for the elderly, but she threatened to die after taking just one bite.

This is just her being unreasonable.

"Alas... I just wanted to take a bite to taste the meat bun. I couldn't bear to eat the whole bun." The old man sighed.

"Then go and get the meat buns back. Your five grandchildren are still hungry." The woman Chun'er looked at the plate of meat buns in Yan Li's hand with envy.

"The meat buns belong to the girl. It's her freedom to give them to her or not. We can't force her." The old man shook his head when he heard this.

Upon hearing this, the woman Chun'er started rolling on the ground again.

"Old man, come here." Yan Li waved to the old man.

The old man came over.

"Girl, I'm so sorry for causing you trouble." The old man's eyes were full of apology.

"How about this, you come and eat the meat buns until you can't eat anymore, and I'll give you two more plates, how about that?" Yan Li looked at the old man.

"Can't eat anymore?" The old man swallowed when he heard that.

I wonder how long it has been since I last had meat buns, and I can’t even eat any more.

"That's right. This is the condition that I give you two more plates of meat buns." Yan Li nodded.

"Okay." The old man knew that Yan Li felt sorry for him and wanted him to have a full meal, so he proposed this condition.

What a kind-hearted girl.

So he picked up the meat bun that he had taken a bite of before and started eating it.

When the onlookers saw the old man eating the meat buns with gusto, they all swallowed hard.

The old man ate the meat buns one after another, and when the plate was empty, he still felt only half full.

So Yan Li took out another plate of meat buns and placed it in front of him. The old man picked up the meat buns and continued eating.

"You old man, take it easy and don't eat too much. It's a waste. Leave more for your grandson." The woman Chun'er said from the side.

Upon hearing this, the old man paused eating the bun in his hand.

"Old man, I am an alchemist. I can tell at a glance whether you are full or not. If not, I won't give you my meat buns." Yan Li looked at the old man.

"Don't worry, girl. I will make sure I'm full." Hearing that, the old man continued eating.

Everyone watched the old man eat one meat bun after another. When the third plate of meat buns was finished, they finally saw him burp.

"Girl, I really can't eat anymore." The old man raised his head and looked at Yan Li.

"I can see that these are the two plates of meat buns promised to you." Yan Li handed the two plates of meat buns to the old man.

"Thank you, young lady. Thank you, young lady." The old man took the meat bun with gratitude in his eyes.

The woman named Chun'er was delighted when she saw this and was about to reach out to grab it, but the old man took the initiative to hand it to her.

After all, there are five children waiting at home.

I am old and weak, and I can't even keep the two plates of meat buns in front of everyone.

Chun'er is famous for her toughness on this street, and few people dare to snatch things from her.

The woman Chun'er carried two plates of meat buns and ran towards her home regardless of anything.

"Don't blame me, young girl. There are five hungry children at home, and Chun'er is doing this for the children." The old man looked at Yan Li embarrassedly.

"It's okay." Yan Li shook her head.

Judging from the small, the people of this dark empire live a very hard life.

Yan Li and the others continued to move forward...

"Senior Brother, I finally understand why this place is called the Dark Empire." Yan Li sighed.

"Why?" Seeing the conflicted look on Yan Li's face, King Zhan asked with amusement.

"Because the royal family of this dark empire is so dark. They have treasures piled up like mountains, and the people are really living in dire straits." Yan Li complained.
