Cafe on the clouds.

Li Minghui sat alone against the counter, looking at the washing table in front of him.

The pipes were open, and the icy water was flowing out.

Li Minghui picked up a photo of a soaking in the pool.

It was a photo that had been half destroyed by fire.

"Looks like my brother has been here too." Li Minghui muttered to himself.

As if agreeing with what Li Minghui said, the water pipe suddenly closed by itself.

Then, the sound of dripping rain came from outside.

Li Minghui picked up the coffee that was still scattered on the side, walked to the bed alone, and stroked the dusty floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the window, the clouds surged, and a human face appeared on the window.

"Have you forgiven me?"

Li Minghui said in a low voice, his hand touching the glass trembled slightly.

It was this hand, holding the scythe...

Ding——

The sound sounded as if something had fallen on the surface of the lake, and the place where Li Minghui touched rippled in circles, and then, the glass melted.

The rain flowed into a stream of water through the small hole and surrounded Li Minghui.

“... ...”

Li Minghui's lips twitched, and he couldn't hear what he said.

A few runes lit up on the ribbon of water, gathering behind him to form an elemental portal.

Li Minghui opened his eyes and woke up from the depths of the spiritual world.

"I thought you were going to die."

Ella's voice rang in his ears, and Li Minghui tried to blink his eyes, and it took a moment to get used to the blurred tone of black and white in front of him.

"Encore didn't say that the second line of awakening would have such a big reaction."

With Ella's support, Li Minghui sat up from the bed, and he shook his head, remembering the pain of the Void Energy impacting the Sublimation Elemental Gate before awakening.

“... Maybe it's because I'm different? ”

Li Minghui smiled, his face suddenly stiffened.

Almost twisted my neck.

Ella curled the corners of her mouth, undisguised from the smile in her eyes.

"Sister Ella, you seem to be very happy to see me being tortured by pain."

“Yeah”

Ella raised an eyebrow, got up and walked out the door.

Looking at Ella's figure disappearing at the door, Li Minghui only felt very relaxed in his heart.

"See, Mom."

"That's Ella, my new family, she's a lot like my sister, but with a few differences."

"She also has a younger sister named Lisa, who is also very cute."

"This time I have the ability to protect myself and my family."

"So this time I'm going to hold on to them, and no one will ever take them away again, I swear with my life."

After putting her things away, Ella went back to her room and picked up a random book and walked towards Li Minghui's room.

She is not a brainless person, although at the beginning she was angry with him for a while because Li Minghui used Lisa's affairs, but she also knew in her heart that it was Li Minghui's decisiveness that gave her a chance to continue to live.

Pushing open the door, he found that Ann had arrived at some point.

"Oh my God, have you gotten this far?"

Ann's dishonest gaze swept over Li Minghui and Ella, not caring how embarrassing her words made the two of them.

"You misunderstood, she's here to return the book." Li Minghui blackened his face, sat up from the bed and took the book from Ella's hand.

Sheep fat balls? Well, he didn't have the book at all, let alone read it!

"Roar~"

Ann whistled, and easily saw through the embarrassing acting skills of the teenager to hide his shy feelings.

After a brief period of contact with Li Minghui, he found that the boy was not such a ruthless person as he appeared, in fact, Li Minghui's pure feelings often made him feel ashamed of his drift.

And after this short time of getting along, An and Li Minghui have become a pair of good friends.

"That's enough, did I let you bring the stuff?"

"Of course."

Ann stopped teasing the two of them and took out a palm-sized brocade box from her pocket.

"What is this?"

Ella asked curiously.

"Water Method."

An opened the brocade box, and inside were three water system Dharma Sect orbs.

"The strength of the apostle-level can't use high-level methods, so I picked three magic orbs with good power and high plasticity, and you can use them first." Li Minghui took the orb handed by An, nodded, and entered a meditative state again.

Unexpectedly, it should be a little difficult to absorb intermediate methods with the strength of Li Minghui's apostle-level strength, but it only took less than a minute to absorb three intermediate methods in succession.

"Genius, really a rare genius."

Feeling the overflowing water energy on Li Minghui's body, An couldn't help but praise.

"How?"

Li Minghui opened his eyes and glanced at Ella.

A water snake sprang out of Li Minghui's fingers and slashed across Ella's cheek, wiping the dust off her.

Ann chose to turn a blind eye to this ration.

"Most people don't have the spiritual power to hold a Dharma until they are twelve years old, so almost everyone's awakening time is at the age of twelve, Hui, if I'm not mistaken, you're only over thirteen."

Li Minghui nodded.

"Thirteen-year-old apostles, even in the inner city, can't find a few."

Li Minghui rolled his eyes: "You know where my strength comes from. ”

His strength is all transformed from blood, and during this time, in order to integrate the underground forces in Area Z, Li Minghui doesn't remember how much blood he sucked.

Whenever someone dies around him, Lotus will absorb the flesh of that person for him and transform it into his own power.

Even Lian said that as long as he wanted to, he could quickly break through to the level of a magic master by sucking out all the blood of the entire Z area.

Of course, Li Minghui refused with righteous words, in fact, he didn't even want to accept the blood of those who died in his hands.

"Ann, you go and arrange the time, call those two for a meeting in the next few days, now we can be said to be the leader of the Z area, how to develop in the future, and your experiments, we need to plan well."

Ann's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, the stability of the magic circle that I used that hammer for the experiment last time was good, and I just need a batch of test products."

"The candidates for the test specimen still have to be carefully screened, and I don't want some innocent people to become your test subjects."

"Hui!" Ann whispered with some dissatisfaction.

It would waste a lot of his time.

"It's not negotiable, but you can contact Xiao to see who has more case records, and directly use it for experiments." Li Minghui said righteously, with a slight element of command in his tone.

Ann suddenly felt a tingling pain in her brain.

"Okay, okay! I understand! Ann roared, and the tingling in her mind disappeared only after she knew that she would obey Li Minghui's arrangement.

"Then I won't disturb the two of you for a good time, bye!"

Ann pushed the door a little impatiently and left, his relationship with Li Minghui was not bad, but whenever the topic turned around to new magic experiments, they would break up unhappily.

Both support experimentation with new magic, but they always disagree over the choice of test specimens.

There were only two people left in the room, Li Minghui and Ella, and with the effect of Ann's words before leaving, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"I'll trouble you after that."

Li Minghui said in a low voice, taking the lead in breaking the embarrassment.

Ella nodded, opened the cabinet next to her, and pulled out a piece of rope.

"Lie down."

Li Minghui lay down on the bed and chose a more comfortable position.

Ella picked up the rope, pinned Li Minghui to the bed, and put a forbidden collar on him.

She only did this to prevent Lee Minghui from using magic again unconsciously because of some nightmare, causing the room to overflow with darkness.
