I used the space to empty the pirates' private vault.

Chapter 212 Just Call Me Xiaoxi

But unexpectedly, the ape-man seemed to have a little surprise for her.

Although his ability to express himself verbally was very limited and he spoke haltingly, he was at least able to put together a few simple words.

Perhaps it was because of the lack of communication with others for a long time that his articulation became a little rusty.

"After I... I... I came down the mountain, I've been... staying here... around here, waiting... waiting... waiting for you to show up. It really... really... made me... I... I finally waited for you." The ape stuttered.

"Then what are you waiting for me here for?" Jiang Yimo looked at the ape in front of her speechlessly.

"I...I...I was alone, in...in...in the mountain...so...so bored!" the ape-man continued to answer haltingly, "So...so I wanted to...I wanted to find someone to talk to. And...and I heard from other animals that there were a lot of fun things at the foot of the mountain, and I...I wanted to go and see them too. But...but I didn't know the way, so...that day I followed...you...you guys down the mountain, but...but I...I couldn't get into the city, and...others would be scared when they saw me, so I had to wait here. Luckily...luckily I...I waited until you showed up!"

The ape-man couldn't speak fluently, he stammered and spoke incoherently, and it took him a long time to express a simple and clear sentence. Fortunately, Jiang Yimo was very patient and finally understood what he meant.

"If you don't meet me today, will you wait for me to show up near the imperial city?" Jiang Yimo asked after the ape man finished speaking.

Hearing this, the ape-man first nodded in affirmation, then shook his head as if he wanted to explain something, but due to his limited language ability, he could only utter a few meaningless growls in the end.

Seeing this, Jiang Yimo couldn't help but feel a little confused, so she continued to ask: "Then why are you following me?"

While asking, Jiang Yimo carefully looked at the ape-man in front of her.

The ape-man looked to be about ten years old, a young man with a thin body, dark skin, and bare feet covered with mud and dirt. He left a series of conspicuous large footprints and mud marks on the floor of her clean and tidy room.

However, it is worth mentioning that compared to the first time they met in the mountains, the ape-man now has a pair of loose and baggy pants around his waist to cover his private parts - at that time he only used a thin rope to casually tie together two palm-wide leaves into a string and hung it around his waist!

"I...I...don't know either!" the ape man stuttered again.

"Oh..." She sighed helplessly, thinking: It's useless to ask.

However, when I took a closer look at the ape-man in front of me, I found that his facial features were actually quite good-looking. His eyes were big, bright and clean, his nose was as straight as a mountain peak, and his mouth was angular. If it weren't for the layer of long, pitch-black hair on his body, he would have looked quite good overall.

Since he followed me all the way here and doesn't look like a bad guy, I might as well take him back to the Evil King's Palace so that he can keep Xiao Kai company.

"Do you want to go into the city with me?" Jiang Yimo suddenly asked.

The ape-man was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously to show his agreement.

"If you want to go into the city, I can take you in, but after entering the city, you must obey my arrangements, otherwise I will not care about you..." Jiang Yimo deliberately dragged out the tone, wanting to see how the ape man would react.

The ape-man nodded his head quickly and promised solemnly: "Don't...don't worry, I...I will definitely not make any trouble!"

His voice was a little stammering due to nervousness, but his eyes revealed determination and sincerity.

"Well, in that case, I'll go out and find some people to help you sort it out. I'll take you into the city tomorrow." Jiang Yimo looked at the ape man, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she finally decided to trust him once.

Jiang Yimo turned and walked out of the room. After a while, she found two waiters.

When they entered the room and saw the ape-man, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they involuntarily took a few steps back.

However, Jiang Yimo quickly explained to them what had happened and handed each of them a silver ingot as a reward.

Seeing that there was profit to be made, the two waiters calmed down a little and expressed their willingness to help him clean up.

Although there was still some fear in his heart, he still tried his best to complete the task for the sake of the money.

So they took the ape man to another room, and one of the waiters came back to clean Jiang Yimo's room and mopped up the muddy footprints on the floor before leaving.

Now he could rest assured and help the ape man wash and dress up with another waiter, and then shave the hair on his face and hands, revealing a clean and handsome face.

During the entire process, the apes appeared to be very well-behaved and cooperative, without any resistance or disruption.

He sat quietly by the side, curiously observing everything happening around him, as if he was full of novelty and desire to explore this unfamiliar environment.

About an hour and a half later, Jiang Yimo, who was sleeping, vaguely heard a slight knock on the door.

She tried hard to open her sleepy eyes, rubbed her temples, and then slowly got up from the bed. Still a little dazed, Jiang Yimo walked towards the door, and she guessed in her heart who was knocking on her door.

When she opened the door, she was somewhat surprised by the sight before her.

A handsome young man was standing outside the door. His facial features were clear and three-dimensional, his eyes were bright and clear, his nose was straight and tall, and his lips were thin and sexy.

He was tall and thin, wearing a light grey waistcoat, which made him look taller. His long black hair was tied up with a simple wooden hairpin, and he exuded a unique temperament.

Compared with before, the boy now seemed to have been reborn, becoming exceptionally sunny and handsome.

He looked at Jiang Yimo with a smile, and that smile was as warm as a spring breeze.

Jiang Yimo couldn't help but be a little absent-minded, and forgot to speak for a moment.

She was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and said, "After some cleaning, he really is a handsome guy!"

Finally, she continued, "Do you know what your name is? How old are you?"

The young man shook his head.

"Since you don't know your name, I'll give you a name."

After saying that, Jiang Yimo pondered for a moment.

"Just call me, I'll call you Xiaoxi."

The boy nodded happily after hearing this, mumbling to himself, "Xiao...Xiao Xi, it's so...so...so nice to hear."
