Chapter 55 Chapter 36 The Strongest Smuggler in Human History_3
Despite this little foodie being relatively weak now, the destruction and threat she could cause outside of the mining area far exceed those within it.
After all, humans in reality don't have supernatural powers.
Observing over the past few days, Tang Xian had not noticed a trace of bestial nature in Tang Xiaojiu, only the innocence and gluttony of a child.
Moreover, Tang Xiaojiu was very obedient to him.
Tang Xian also felt an inexplicable closeness to Tang Xiaojiu. He became increasingly certain that this girl had saved him once during his first seven days when he nearly died due to the mysterious rules.
"Your little belly is all round after eating so much today. Stay in this room and rest, and tomorrow I'll make you something even tastier than fish soup."
"Ah... there's something even tastier than fish soup? Tang Xian, don't wait until tomorrow."
"Alright, go to sleep. You can sleep on the bed."
After settling Tang Xiaojiu, Tang Xian prepared to go out and make a phone call.
There were quite a few people he needed to contact, including Shang Lu, who needed some vegetable seeds.
He also had to ask Dong Ran about the progress on her dance practice.

Furthermore, he had to trouble an old classmate again today.
Arriving at the phone booth, Tang Xian frowned.
He was not sure if calling this number now would cause problems for the owner of the number, especially since six years had passed, and Tang Xian was uncertain whether the other party still remembered their old school friendship.
After all, this person was different from academic enthusiasts like Shang Lu.
One person living peacefully for six years, and another being wanted for six years, would result in completely different personality changes.
Still, Tang Xian made the call.
It took about ten seconds before the call went through.
"Who is it?" The voice on the other end was low and hoarse.
Deliberately lowering his voice, Tang Xian revealed a smile. It was the person he was looking for.
"It's me, Tang Xian."
There was nearly ten seconds of silence before the other end responded with a voice trembling from excitement:
"Tch, six years without contact, and suddenly you call late at night. You motherfucker, after all these years, why are you still the same? Don't you know my situation? Damn it, Tang Xian. I almost thought you were dead."
Yu Xiaozhe swore profusely, his heart surging with excitement. He had never expected to receive a call from an old friend on what was, otherwise, an ordinary night. Most of the friends from back then had cut ties with him. Of course, they also never knew his contact information.
"Get to the point. I'm swamped with shit. It better be something important. If you're calling to catch up, just fuck off. I don't want to get caught, so contact me as little as possible!"

Tang Xian did not know why the shy boy from back then had changed so much, but he could understand.
In these six years, being one of Huaxia's most wanted fugitives, it was impossible to maintain the innocence of youth.
Even through the phone, he could feel some of the emotion in Yu Xiaozhe's words.
"That shy boy who could draw two kinds of currency with both hands is now talking like a gangster. I don't know how you've been all these years. I've heard a bit about your situation. I'm not here to reminisce, but I need a favor. I want to get a fake ID for a kid, just with basic rights, under six years old. The name is Tang Xiaojiu, a girl."
With a name like Yu Xiaozhe that didn't sound fierce, but now speaking like an uncouth veteran, Tang Xian could not help but imagine the experiences behind it, and felt a touch of warmth in his heart.
Time had changed a lot about this man, but it hadn't changed the softest part of him that Tang Xian remembered.
"Tang Xiaojiu, six years old? Sure thing. You've got some nerve. Did you knock someone up in our graduation year? This is big news, and back then we were so close. You never told me?
Not even when you got married? You dog, you're such a bastard. I need three days, I'll meet you in the mining area to give it to you."
Cursing aside, an old friend's request still had to be honored. After all, having spent six years with Tang Xian, Yu Xiaozhe had never seen Tang Xian ask for help.
But he hadn't expected that Tang Xian was now in such a bad spot that even his daughter couldn't be registered under a household.
Obviously, Yu Xiaozhe had misunderstood something. Tang Xian thought it over. After all, his own parents had been gone for many years; it would be illogical to suddenly have a younger sister.
"Who's the kid's mom? It can't possibly be Li Xiaoyu, that lunatic, right? She was only twelve back then!"
