I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 432 The Traveling Merchant Snow

"Excuse me, may I interrupt you two for a moment..."

"You're the stall owner in the morning."

Seeing that the two recognized him, Snow smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes, you still remember me, that's great."

“I am Snow, a member of the Kunling tribe.”

Hearing his self-introduction, Lezhi's eyebrows twitched slightly. Their next destination was the Kunling Clan. Was Snow's appearance a coincidence, or...?

Seemingly noticing the fleeting question in Lezhi's eyes, Snow was not annoyed. He simply raised his hand and touched his nose. As he raised his hand, the vine on his wrist was exposed without any cover, and everyone instantly understood what was going on.

They smiled at each other, and Snow didn't hide anything. "I can't stay still. A while ago, when there was nothing to do after the war, I went to the Spirit Feather Clan and the Windwalker Clan to buy goods. On the way back, I received a message from the clan chief, asking me to take a detour to the Valley Clan and wait for someone in the next couple of days. He didn't tell me who I was waiting for, he just said that I would know when you arrived."

As the three walked, Snow recounted the whole story, and Lezhi realized that Snow had known who they were when they went shopping that morning.

Noticing Lezhi's surprise, Snow seemed even more surprised. "Lezhi, you have no idea how well-known you are in Jormungand."

Is his fame due to the inspirational story of the disabled boy growing wings? Or is it because he can heal the shadows that he is so well-known? Lezhi was a little confused. Before being kidnapped by birds and beasts and venturing into the Endless Abyss alone, his life had always been peaceful, so he didn't really understand Snow's words.

Impressed by the peaceful environment the Spirit Feather Clan had created for Lezhi's growth, Snow smiled and said, "In short, you are very well-known among the Tree Spirit Clan, extremely well-known. So well-known that even if someone has never met you, everyone who sees you will recognize you immediately. Please don't have any doubts about that."

Snow's words were so certain that Lezhi couldn't help but take them seriously. "Is it really that exaggerated? You're making it sound like I'd be recognized walking down the street. How would they..."

To prove that Snow had exaggerated, Lezhi immediately chose a passerby to make eye contact with, trying to prove that they did not know each other at all and that the other person would definitely just glance at them and walk past.

But when the passerby he randomly chose to make eye contact with smiled shyly and waved to him, Lezhi fell silent.

This is the feeling of a fan chasing after their idol.

She gave a stiff wave in return, and after moving a distance away, Lezhi clearly heard suppressed cheers coming from behind her. The smile on her face vanished instantly, like melting snow.

No, what's wrong with this?

"So, they all actually know me, Lei Xiu, you knew all along, didn't you?"

Once he noticed something was wrong, he felt that everything was wrong. Lezhi, who never paid much attention to the outside world, suddenly realized that everyone was watching him, like watching a monkey in a zoo, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Snow and Lei Xiu worked together to speed up Le Zhi's pace. Lei Xiu even took a moment to explain, "I know, but Zhi Zhi, it's okay. Just be the same as before. They're just curious and don't mean any harm. You don't need to take it too seriously."

He knew that Lezhi didn't like being the center of attention, so he had discussed with Chief Lechu from the beginning to try not to disturb Lezhi. However, he didn't expect that Snow would point this out here, and Lezhi's reaction was bigger than he had imagined.

Snow realized he might have made a mistake and tried to make amends, saying, "Yeah, Lezhi, so what if they know you? It won't affect you. They won't bother you."

That's true. If Snow hadn't said it today, given Lezhi's tendency to not look where he's going, he probably wouldn't have noticed. It shows how well everyone did.

As they got closer to their lodgings, they encountered fewer and fewer people along the way. Lezhi threw herself onto her bedroom bed and silently isolated herself for a while. The panic she had just felt at being noticed gradually subsided.

He shut the two men out and didn't want to speak to either of them until he recovered.

"Uh, should I not have said these things in front of Lezhi?" Snow scratched his head, somewhat at a loss.

After staring at the closed bedroom door for a while and not hearing any unusual sounds from inside, Lei Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Le Zhi's mood was not as bad as he had expected.

Having been with Lezhi for so long, inseparable from him, he could naturally sense that Lezhi's emotions had become unstable since their trip to the Endless Abyss. Compared to when Lezhi was a cub, he was now like an explosive flower ready to erupt at any moment, and who knew when his emotions would build up to a full-blown explosion.

Other children didn't grow up like Lezhi, and Lei Xiu is currently taking it one step at a time.

“Even if you don’t tell me today, Zhizhi will find out sooner or later. It’s just a matter of when it will come out. I’m going to prepare some food. You can find a place to sit, or if you have something to do, you can leave first. We might be here for a while.”

"It's alright, it's alright. I can take care of myself. I came to the Yougu Clan mainly to pick you up. I have nothing else to do. I'm sorry to have bothered you."

Hearing that Lei Xiu was suggesting he leave, Snow quickly waved his hand, jokingly saying that the mission the clan leader had given him was right in front of him, so why would he leave? He would rather sleep on the floor than leave.

However, simply refusing to comply would be too shameless. With a sudden inspiration, Snow had a brilliant idea.

"You said you wanted to prepare food, so I have some semi-finished buns that I bought from the Spirit Feather Clan, as well as bread from the Windwalker Clan. I don't know if Lezhi will like them. If so, please accept them as an apology for bothering me today."

As he spoke, Snow relentlessly pulled out a huge pile of food from his spatial storage, so much so that it couldn't all fit on the table. Even with Lezhi's current appetite, it would take several meals to finish it.

Lei Xiu nodded inwardly, thinking that he was being sensible. Seeing Snow's initiative, he didn't refuse, thinking that eating a familiar taste might improve his mood.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Please make yourself at home. I'll get back to work." With a wave of his hand, Lei Xiu put the food into his spatial storage, left the cola in the living room to entertain the guest, and turned to walk into the kitchen.

Only Snow and Cola remained in the living room, staring at each other. Facing the expressionless Cola, Snow wasn't intimidated. Instead, he reached for a piece of jerky and asked, "Want some?"

…………

In the bedroom, Lezhi, who had unknowingly fallen asleep, was awakened by the vine in her hand. Still sleepy, she activated the vine and greeted it with a voice full of drowsiness, "Who is it?"

"Lezhi, did you just wake up?"

"Le Chu." The familiar voice immediately brought Le Zhi back to her senses. "Why did you suddenly contact me?"

After saying hello, Lezhi snuggled back into bed. He hadn't had enough sleep and didn't want to hang up, so he chose to talk while lying down.

"Lei Xiu and Mu Ling asked me for help; they're worried about you."

Upon hearing Le Chu's words, her half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and her somewhat drowsy mind finally cleared, recalling what had happened before she went to sleep.

Just now, because Snow was there, Lezhi held back her temper and eventually fell asleep. Now that Lechu is here, Lezhi can finally speak freely and vent her dissatisfaction to him.

Dissatisfied with being treated as a spectacle, he was also unaware that "...made me feel like a fool."

Le Chu remained silent, simply listening attentively. He knew that Le Zhi could figure things out on her own, but needed to vent her emotions in the process.

Sure enough, after Lezhi finished rambling on, her frustration dissipated and her rationality finally returned. "But they didn't bother me, which is commendable. Otherwise, I would definitely feel even more uncomfortable. As for everything else, everyone has done a great job."

"Figured out."

"Ah."

"You don't blame me for not telling you beforehand?"

"…………" The clan leader was asking a question he already knew the answer to. Lezhi pouted and gave a muffled "hmm".

"Hehe, alright, since everything's alright, let's hurry up and go out for dinner. Lei Xiu has already prepared a table full of dishes and is just waiting for you. Mu Ling should be there too. He said you want to leave as soon as possible, so just do it at your own pace and don't worry about anything else."

"We've always been here." If you miss home, you can come back anytime.
