Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo) novel Chapter 1682

Chapter 1682, Extra Story: First Encounter.

Snow was falling heavily, obscuring the view of the source of the snow. Several tents stood tall in the distance, with fires burning inside. Occasionally, sounds of men's laughter and angry shouts could be heard from within.

In a tent on the side, a young boy was tied to a wooden stake with his back against it. Despite wearing only a thin black shirt in below-freezing temperatures and being covered in snow, he remained motionless as if frozen.

A small creature scurried out from another tent and made its way towards him. It struggled to untie the rope around his wrist but failed due to its weak strength. Exhausted, it collapsed onto him while gasping for air.

The boy opened his eyes upon feeling movement and revealed ghostly-colored pupils that shone like black gems reflecting light. Though only eleven or twelve years old, he already possessed an otherworldly aura that hinted at future greatness.

His gaze fell upon the small creature nestled in his arms that had used him as a makeshift bed while he rested. "What are you doing?" His voice sounded cold and distant due to the weather conditions making it difficult for anyone to approach him easily.

Startled by his tone, the little creature quickly scrambled up onto its feet before answering timidly with an innocent voice that sounded like baby talk through all of its milk teeth: "I-I'm trying t-to help you."

Its face was pitch-black except for two striking eyes colored pure baby blue which shone brightly even amidst such darkness; they were almost too big for its face giving off an impression of naivety despite their clarity indicating intelligence beyond their years.

Standing before him now with all four limbs straightened out as much as possible attempting to look more imposing than it actually was; Its sweet voice carried over through howling winds into his ears:

"I'm letting you go, but you have to listen to me, understand?!" The boy looked skeptically at "him," wondering if he would actually release him. A gust of snow nearly engulfed the two of them, causing the little guy to sneeze.

The boy gazed into those tear-filled eyes for a few seconds before speaking in a cold voice that still retained the clear tone of youth. "Go find the guard over there and tell him I'm about to freeze to death." These ruthless mercenaries had captured children with extraordinary backgrounds, and losing even one was not worth it.

The little guy stared at the boy for a moment before turning towards the largest tent and disappearing into the blizzard. Soon after, a man walked over grumbling under his breath.

He looked down at the unconscious boy buried in snow with stiff limbs, cut off his bindings with his knife and picked him up without much thought before tossing him into an adjacent tent. Shortly thereafter, a black-and-white puppy snuck inside from outside.

The little guy climbed onto the boy's body and patted his face while calling out urgently: "Wake up! The bad guys are gone!" The boy opened his eyes and lifted up what turned out to be just another puppy.

Perhaps because it was so small that it posed no threat whatsoever; those people let "him" run around freely. The boy placed him on ground level then flexed his stiff wrist muscles while wiping away tears from both bags under its eyes as he asked: "What do you want?"

"I freed you; now you have to listen to me!" cried out this tiny creature anxiously as its big red-rimmed eyes stared back pleadingly at him.

Little one said, 'I'm hungry and cold, you need to figure something out quickly.' The young man remained silent for a moment before standing up. 'Wait here for a little while,' he said.

The little one grabbed onto his clothes tightly with big round eyes and asked, 'Where are you going? When will you be back?'

The young man hesitated as he looked down at the small creature that had just reached his knee. He lifted his hand to pat "his" head and said, 'I'm going to find some food for you. I'll be back soon.'

After speaking, the young man lifted the curtain and walked into the snowstorm.
