Seeing that it was over, the crowd dispersed .
However, they didn't notice that the white-robed monk and the huge dog that had made their way through the crowd followed after the girl .
"Master, why do you think that child is carrying that bag of vegetable leaves?" Lone Wolf asked, puzzled .
Fangzheng shook his head and said, "No idea . We'll know if we follow her . "
"Master, why don't you try getting hired? You might actually succeed . You can settle down below the mountain, get a wife and child . Wouldn't that be nice?" Lone Wolf chuckled .
Fangzheng rolled his eyes . "Forget it . I still prefer to research and develop myself now rather than having children . But if it's just a hire…"
"Master, are you really going to answer the hiring notice?" Lone Wolf looked at Fangzheng as he exclaimed .

Fangzheng pricked up his brows and retorted . "Why not? Can't I?"
Lone Wolf hurriedly shook his head and said, "You can, you definitely can . Does that mean that we will be heading to that young patron's place, uh—that's not right . We will be heading to your place to eat and we won't need to worry about starving?"
Fangzheng slapped him immediately . This darn dog had spent too much time with Squirrel, and now all he knew was to eat .
Seeing the little girl walk into an old district, Fangzheng sped up his pace and chased up to the girl, saying, "Amitabha . Little Patron, are you hiring a father?"
The girl was stunned as she looked at Fangzheng in astonishment . When she saw that Fangzheng was a bald monk with a genial smile, with him not looking like a bad person at all, she nodded slightly . She said apprehensively, "Yes, but I can't give you a salary . "
Fangzheng was instantly amused as he asked with a smile, "Then, can This Penniless Monk ask why you are hiring a father?"
The little girl looked down at her toes and said softly, "I… I wish to have someone take care of Mommy . I'm too young, and I can't take care of her . "
Fangzheng was taken aback . He had thought of many possible reasons, thinking that it could be a prank or that the little girl had been reprimanded by her father and was trying to vent her anger by doing something like this . Little did he expect that this would be her reason! Seeing her big, helpless eyes, and thinking back to what she said, Fangzheng's heart winced . He rubbed his nose and said, "Then… Do you think This Penniless Monk can be your father?"

"You?" The girl was stunned . She wasn't sure what the difference between a monk and ordinary person was, but the monk in front of her was too young, so young that he couldn't look like her father . Yet, he looked so gentle that she felt extremely warmed by his presence . He was the warmest person she had interacted with in the past few days . Hence the girl nodded and said, "Yes, yes you can . After you become my daddy, you have to take care of Mommy . "
"Of course . Then, shall we go to your place?"
"Alright . " The girl nodded before looking at Lone Wolf who kept rolling his eyes at how his master was cheating a young lady . She asked curiously, "Is that your dog?"
Fangzheng ruffled Lone Wolf's huge head and said, "Yes, this is This Penniless… This is my dog . Don't worry about his size . He's gentle . "
"Then does he have a huge appetite? There's nothing to eat at home . " The girl didn't seem to care about Lone Wolf's gentleness but his appetite .
The moment that was said, Fangzheng and Lone Wolf felt their hearts wince . Children her age would usually look at Lone Wolf with curiosity, wondering if he was fun or if he would bite . Yet this little child before them had already learned to have the mindset of an adult . She was considering her food inventory and if her family could tide through whatever problems it was facing . To live on, she had already learned to give up her childlike innocence and had been forced to grow up quickly . It had to be said that it was quite a plightful matter for a child to lose its childhood years .
With this in mind, Lone Wolf went forward, sprawled on the ground and nudged the little girl, indicating that he was gentle and didn't have much of an appetite .

Fangzheng said, "Don't worry . Since I'm going to be your father, I'll naturally be in charge of handling the food at home . Besides, this guy is only big in size . He doesn't have much of an appetite . "
"Really?" The girl's eyes lit up when she heard that Fangzheng would be responsible for food . A smile appeared on her worried face as a look of hope appeared in her big eyes .
Fangzheng smiled . "Of course, let's go and take a look at your home . As your father, I have the right to see how our family is, right? By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Fang Ke . Everyone calls me Keke," Fang Ke said happily .
Fangzheng was surprised as he subconsciously looked towards the sky . Was this fated? Keke was actually surnamed Fang .
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and said, "It looks like we are fated . My name is Fangzheng . "
"Fangzheng? Wow, I'm Fang Ke, and you are called Fangzheng? Wow!" Fang Ke covered her smiling face as she cried out in astonishment and delight . Perhaps, she also felt that it was a fateful meeting arranged by the heavens .
Fangzheng could sense that his relationship with Fang Ke grew significantly and that Fang Ke was especially happy . "Let's go . I'll bring you to see Mommy . Mommy will definitely be happy…"
With that said, Fang Ke skipped forward . Only at this moment did she possess the innocence of a girl .
Lone Wolf came close to Fangzheng's side and said, "Master, such a Fang Ke is really adorable . I felt so sad and uncomfortable seeing her in her earlier state . "
Fangzheng ruffled Lone Wolf's head and said, "She's a pitiful child who's worthy of respect . Let's go see what her house is like . "
Fangzheng and Lone Wolf followed after her .
Fang Ke's place was on the third floor . She was extremely fast and climbed up the stairs like a monkey . She rushed up the stairs as Lone Wolf followed behind her to prevent her from accidentally falling .
When they arrived at the third floor, Fang Ke took out a red rope which had a key hanging from it . She tiptoed to open the door before happily running in . As she ran, she shouted . "Mommy, I found Daddy! Mommy, I found Daddy…" As she ran into the room, there was the sound of a woman coughing . She said with a stern, worried tone that had a tinge of horror to it, "What Daddy? Cough… Keke, what are you talking about?"
Lone Wolf, who wanted to rush in, had his tail pulled by Fangzheng . Although Keke had acknowledged them, she was still a child . There was an adult at home, and they were ultimately uninvited guests . If it were any ordinary person, their first impression would be to treat them as bad people . At the very least, they would be wary . After all, hiring a father was ridiculous in any situation, even if a woman in her prime with a child might not be able to find a suitable male partner, much less if she was ill .
Fangzheng wasn't in a rush to enter . Instead, he gave the woman inside sufficient time to take in the news . As for him, he carefully sized up everything in the house . It wasn't big . It had two bedrooms and a living room . The living room was spacious and from the decorations, the renovations must have originally been done pretty well . This family had once been wealthy .
