So, when encountering a pitiful person, a kind-hearted individual is willing to help a little.
However, someone who is inherently destructive and engages in wrongdoing, in his eyes, is nothing more than a pile of trash, not even worth the effort to remove, let alone deserving of any compassion.
One could say that such a person does not even qualify as human in his view.
When Cheng Yi saw Shorty trying to run away, he initially intended to call out to him. However, upon realizing that consuming such things would turn him into someone like Shorty, he refrained from doing so.
Poppy refers to Opium, which is an addictive substance. The regulation of such psychoactive items by the state is quite strict.
Yet some people still cannot forget it.
In the past, due to ignorance, many even treated it as fruit or medicine.
It can cure colds, relieve pain, and provide comfort; when added to food, it makes dishes exceptionally delicious and hard to resist.
In reality, all of this is just an illusion, merely a deception of the nerves by that substance.
If such things are not regulated, they can indeed bring disaster to the country and its people; the Opium Wars of the past are a prime example.
However, hospitals do keep some similar substances on hand for use when patients are severely injured or ill to alleviate pain.
Using such substances excessively is indeed harmful; it can make humanoids look haggard, but it won't make them short and ugly as Ye Mingshang suggested.
Such words are merely meant to scare Cheng Yi and prevent him from forgetting that taste.
With his body modified through Natural Way techniques, he could forget such cravings in just a few days or even less. However, if he were to indulge in it long-term, even his body would not be able to completely filter it out.
He certainly does not want his little nephew to accompany him on this trip only to become an addict.
"Alright, it's getting late. It's time to go back and sleep."
The three of them held hands and disappeared into the moonlight of the night.
Not long after they left, someone discovered the crowd screaming in the yard and quickly took the injured person to the hospital.
Back at the hotel, Ye Mingshang let Cheng Yi stay in a room by himself while he and Mengyu shared a room.
"Why can't I stay with you? I want to sleep with you," Cheng Yi said, puzzled.
"Cheng Yi has grown up and needs to learn to sleep alone," Ye Mingshang said, patting Cheng Yi's little head.
"But why are Uncle Ye and Mengyu Aunty sharing a room? You are both adults," Cheng Yi pointed out, clearly unconvinced by the idea of growing up. He expressed his confusion.
Mengyu blushed a little; she certainly understood what it meant for Ye Mingshang to share a room with her. If it weren't for Cheng Yi's innocent curiosity, she might have kept quiet about it. However, his curiosity pushed him to ask more questions.
Ye Mingshang squatted down, placing his hands on Cheng Yi's shoulders, and said seriously, "Uncle and your Mengyu Aunty have important things to do together. It's tough work, so kids should just sleep well and not worry about it."
"Oh~ I understand. You are going to practice martial arts, right?" Cheng Yi nodded as if he understood.
"Practice martial arts?" Ye Mingshang was taken aback, unsure why he came up with that term.
"Yes, when Dad and Mom share a room, they leave me alone because they say they need to practice martial arts. It's very hard work," Cheng Yi said earnestly.
Ye Mingshang couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of such a scene.
Then he straightened up and said seriously, "That's right. Uncle is going to practice martial arts with Aunty, just like your dad and mom do."
"Oh, I get it now."
"Alright, go back to sleep. I'll take you out for something delicious tomorrow."
"Okay."
"Remember, practicing later will be tough, and there might be some screams. Don't mind it," Ye Mingshang called out to Cheng Yi again.
"Oh, okay."
Cheng Yi returned to her room, and Ye Mingshang smiled happily, as if he had accomplished something significant.
Turning around, he saw Mengyu. Her delicate face was already as red as a ripe apple, vibrant and alluring.
"Mm!"
Seeing her like this suddenly triggered something in Ye Mingshang, making a certain part of his body slowly swell, as if trying to break free from its restraints.
"Don't look at me like that," Mengyu said, feeling her body heat up under his intense gaze, and she couldn't help but shoot him a glare.
That glance made Ye Mingshang even more excited.
With blood rushing through him, his desire intensified, and he picked Li Mengyu up in one swift motion.
"What are you doing?!" Li Mengyu exclaimed, both shy and startled, burying her head deep into Ye Mingshang's embrace.
Once inside the room, he placed Li Mengyu on the bed.
Looking at her shyly flushed face and her heated body, Ye Mingshang suppressed his impulses and gently kissed Mengyu on the lips.
"Ying!~"
On the hospital bed, a scruffy young man suddenly woke up.
"Boss, how are you?"
With the room lights turned on, he was finally able to see his surroundings.
"Where am I?"
"Boss, you're in City Hospital. You and the Brothers are both seriously injured."
In his mind, a young man's smile gradually became clear; he smiled brightly, but behind him was indeed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Boss, Boss?"
"Ah!"
Woken up by Younger Brother's voice, he startled Younger Brother as well.
"Boss, according to the other brothers, a young man injured our brothers, and there was also a Child, who seems to be his nephew. Additionally, a Dwarf named Zhang Taidi stole a box of our money."
"Boss, should I send someone to deal with them?" He made a downward cutting motion with his hand.
"Get me a glass of water." Without answering the question, he first asked for a glass of water, sweating profusely and feeling extremely thirsty.
He gulped down a glass of warm water and felt somewhat better.
"What did you just say? What was that Shorty’s name?"
"Boss, it's Zhang Taidi."
"Teddy... Hehe..."
"Don't worry about others, just teach this guy Zhang Taidi a good lesson and get the money back to share with Brothers."
"Got it, Boss."
"Go on."
As he walked out the door, he didn't understand why the boss seemed so restless, but the thought of fifty thousand to share made him feel good.
With a generous reward, brave men would emerge. Driven by money, Younger Brother immediately went down to make arrangements.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Stubbled Youth was still shaken.
"I hope I never see you again."
The smile of a young man appeared in his mind, causing his heart to tighten involuntarily.
There is a saying in China: anger from embarrassment.
He now felt a bit of that as he realized how afraid he was of one person.
(To be continued.)
