Xie Yue and Hu Liena got into the carriage.
The driver drove the carriage toward the heaven duo empire. He knows not to play tricks against soul masters... Even if it's just a small kid.
Many people died because of their thinking; they thought they were smart and died without a burial place by trying to trick the noble soul master.
So he obediently drove towards the destination. He just hoped that after reaching their destination, these devil children would spare his life.

Inside the carriage_
"Brother~ where is mother?" Huliena asked.
"I knocked her unconscious and left her behind," Xie Yue said calmly.
"Why, brother?" Her eyes are full of curiosity.
"Because she is a bad woman," Xie Yue said.
"Why is she bad?" Huliena asked again. There is no concern in her voice. She doesn't care about her mother that much. Since nothing happened to her brother, that's enough for her. She is asking these things just so she could clear her little doubts. Nothing more, nothing less.
"She knows about orphanage bullying. But she didn't protect us. You say, Is she a good womann?" Xie Yue asked her back.
"Ahh~ but then why is she good to us?""
"That's her acting. Now she is trying to sell us to slave traders. Thats why we escaped from her," Xie Yue explained to her patiently.
" Ahh. I understand, brother~ you are really mighty!! " She shook her hands as she felt proud of her brother.
"And little Nana~ don't ask questions like this again, ok? "Xie Yue hugged her and told her.
"Mmm~ Nana understood her mistakes. She won't ask questions if brother doesn't like it," she hugged her brother back and said in a sweet voice.
Hearing their conversation, that driver also understood a little bit.
'What a smart child. So this is what happened. Bad woman indeed.'
He also drove faster to escape from that woman. What if she caught up with them?
"Driver, uncle, will there be any bandits in the route we are going now?" Xie Yue asked
"Yes, young lord, but if we take the common commercial rute. The chances of that will decrease; there will be guards patrolling and protecting the safety of their goods. Even if we meet some bandits, we can seek help from the guards if they are near," the driver said.
"Oh, okay, then you go through the commercial route. And how long will it take to reach our destination?" Xie thought about something and asked him again.
"Nearly 7 days, young lord!"" The driver replied without knowing his bad luck.

8 days later_
This day, two children came near the tall city gate of the Great Heaven Dou Empire border. It is also the location of the Barak kingdom (south of the Heaven Duo empire).
They wore a black cloak, covering their whole body from being seen by others.
After they came near the gate guards, they were stopped by them.
After removing their hoods and giving the entry fee that is needed to go in to the city, they continued their walking after putting their hoods.
"After 8 days of traveling, we are finally here," Xie Yue thought about his journey.
On the sixth day, he killed that carriage driver and disposed of him. Since there are no more people near them, he can't take another carriage.
So he tried to control that carriage horse. Only then did he learn that it's pretty easy to control the horse with his physique. After all, he is a level 9 soul scholar. So they got on the horse and came in the direction of the empire. Because of the lack of care, the horse lost its energy some hours ago and died. So they came here by walking for nearly 5 hours. They had enough water and food, so it's not that straining on their bodies. They bought it from the supply points on their way.
Even when killing that driver, he didn't let Nana learn about that. He did it meticulously and told her the same reason as Bai's' matter. 'I knocked out that driver.'
Now Nana is not at the age to know about killing. And how can he explain if she knows about his killing? Xie Yue is also just a kid. There is also no justifiable reason that can fool her.
If she saw him killing others, it would be hard for her to accept that her brother is a killer. And it will leave a psychological shadow. Only after age 10 or so will the people of the Douluo continent mature in their thinking. At that time he can kill openly.
He also thought about killing Hu Liena more than once. But he decided against it after thinking about her usefulness. It's not worth it to kill his obedient puppy just so he doesn't need to work a little harder. If he wants a good sword and a puppy, he also needs to be patient.
"Nana, let's go and search for a hotel to stay." He took her hand and went for a search.
"Hmm~ okay, brother," she followed obediently.
After that, they rented a room and settled in.
"Nana, let's wash up and go to bed. We haven't had a bath in the past few days. Let's bathe together."
When bathing, he removed all his dress and sat in the bathtub. Nana bathed with her underwear on. When bathing, she also did her duty by putting soap for him. But the difference today is... He also told her to wash his little member.
She also did it with curiosity: 'Why does brother have something like this between his legs? Hmm~ it looks like a little rat'
After they took a bath, they ate their lunch and went to sleep. After all, traveling is very tiring.
Xie Yue also needs a good rest. So he hugged her in his arm and slept without thinking about anything.
__________
Time passed by, and the morning came. They slept for nearly 16 hours.
After taking a bath and having breakfast... Xie Yue talked with Nana.
"Nana~ you stay here. Brother will go and buy some dresses for you. "
"Brother, can't I come with you?" Nana asked him.
"No, Nana~ it's a new place for us. So it is best if I go and learn about this new place alone. You stay here. Brother will come back before noon." Xie Yue patted her head and said.
"Ahh~~ ok, brother. I'll listen to you. Be careful when you are outside." Nana nodded her head while enjoying his patting.
Xie Yue put on his little cloak before leaving...
