<h4>Chapter 2520: Hand It Over</h4>


    “F*ck! Who hit me!?”


    Ning Shu clutched her nose and looked toward the people who stood in front of her.


    She was surrounded by a group of little children. Some of them were as old as eleven years old, but the younger ones still walked with some clumsiness in their steps.


    They were dressed in tattered clothes. Their pale faces were covered with dust and had turned dark from it. In conclusion, they were very, very dirty.


    Ning Shu realized that these children and her were looking at each other at the same eye level, and had a bad premonition. She stretched out her hand, which was stained with blood from her nosebleed. The hand she saw was tiny, and it was obviously a child’s hand.


    At this moment, she and the children were standing next to a towering garbage dump. Flies the size of fingers were flying and buzzing around their ears.


    One of the children stretched out his dirty hand toward Ning Shu. “Hand it over.”


    “Scram. You have the nerve to try and steal from me?” Ning Shu coldly replied. The voice that came out of her mouth was that of a young girl.


    So she’d be a little girl this time.


    Ning Shu knew when to cut her losses. She also knew that she was outnumbered by a lot, so she decided that she must first make her escape.


    Although she didn’t know what these children wanted from her, she decided to just run off first.


    Ning Shu took a deep breath and immediately coughed. She felt that she had inhaled a lot of dust, and also smelled some strange odors.


    Not even the smell of blood from her nosebleed could overwhelm the pungent stench of the garbage around her.


    Ning Shu turned around and ran away. However, she was just an ordinary person now, and as such, couldn’t run very quickly. After she ran for a while, her lungs began to burn.


    And she was dizzy, too. Not only that, her legs were aching, her stomach was gurgling, and the group of little pests was still chasing after her.


    Oh, the body of an ordinary human! It was making Ning Shu really distressed.


    She had never been in such a pickle!


    Soon, the children caught up with Ning Shu. Someone grabbed her by the cor.


    Several children then held her down by her hands and feet.


    One of the children raised his dirty fist and viciously said to Ning Shu, “Do you want to get beaten up even more?”


    Two other children searched Ning Shu’s body and found half a piece of bread from the small cloth bag on her body.


    This was clearly a half-eaten bread that had been thrown away. The bread was very dirty, and even had mold spots on its surface.


    Ning Shu was a little baffled. All that just for half a piece of moldy bread?


    When they saw the bread, the eyes of these children lit up. They stared at the bread with covetous eyes.


    One boy raised his fist toward Ning Shu. “Don’t you dare run again in the future! You think you can find something and keep it to yourself?”


    Then, the children dispersed.


    Ning Shu touched her bloody nose. It wouldn’t start bleeding again, hopefully.


    Those kids went so far just for a piece of moldy bread, so there must be a shortage of food in this ce.


    She really couldn’t afford to lose any more blood, since she wouldn’t be able to regenerate it here.


    Ning Shu looked at the trash mountains around her. With much struggle, she climbed to the top of one of them. What she saw up there stunned her.


    What the hell was this ce?


    As far as she looked, she saw nothing but heaps upon heaps of garbage.


    Dust floated in the air. As she looked into the distance, Ning Shu’s sight was tinted with a faint yellow hue.


    She couldn’t see any trees. Indeed, she couldn’t even see the sky. All that she could see was garbage, no matter where she looked.


    The gas that was released by these dposing heaps of garbage was very harmful to people. Indeed, it was even more dangerous than smog.


    Ning Shu came down from the garbage mountain. Initially, she wanted to find a proper ce to receive the storyline in.


    However, every ce seemed the same.


    Ning Shu felt weak. She didn’t know if it was because she had lost too much blood, or because she was too hungry and felt dizzy because of it.


    She decided to cultivate first.


    Ning Shu sat cross-legged on… well, trash. She was ready to start cultivating.


    A bunch of little pests managed to bully her! She couldn’t ept that.


    Ning Shu cultivated for a long time. However, by the end, she opened her eyes in surprise.


    F*ck. There was no spiritual energy in this ce. None at all!
