"Please!" Kane pushed open the bedroom door with Lillian on her back, making a rare gesture of please, "Let's talk?"

The shadow slid into the room like a cloud of smoke, found a seat, and sat down unceremoniously.

The fire in the hearth had been extinguished, and the chill of the Plateau of Suffering had broken into the house, and Lilian shivered slightly.

"It's cold, don't catch a cold!" the shadow was as considerate as the most competent butler, and his tone was full of concern.

Smack-

With a crisp snap of fingers, the wooden door of the bedroom closed in response, and a few sparks jumped out of the cold hearth. Three jujube wood flew into the air and pierced into the fire like a sword.

The shadow stretched out its pale and sickly palm, its fingers slightly open and swaying slightly.

Mars seemed to be alive, following the beat of its fingers, jumping happily on the jujube fruit tree, burning a few black spots.

The Shadow snapped his five fingers and turned his palm into a fist.

Boom -

Like a naughty child, the spark seemed to be poured into a barrel of fire oil, and instantly turned into a small flame giant and burned the fruit tree to ashes.

The explosive heat wave turned the cool bedroom into a warm greenhouse in an instant.

Smelling the fresh fruity aroma, the shadow seemed to be unwilling to withdraw his palm.

"Alas, the years are unforgiving. Old, if it was ten years ago, the old man's eyes would have revived the ashes, and the dry wood would have burned. The Shadow's tone was full of regret for the passage of time.

Kane was silent, bent down, picked up a few pieces of wood, and added them to the hearth, baring his teeth at Lillian, who was a little playful.

At this moment, Kane, who is ruthless, behaves like a normal child.

The fire is no longer tyrannical, and it is gentle and steady.

"Are you a holy relic?" asked the Shadow bluntly, not going around the bend.

"I'm human. Kane sat on the edge of the bed, tucked the quilt for Lilian, and replied calmly.

"Have you seen a god and been bathed in light?" Shadow was noncommittal to Kane's answer, but did not hesitate to ask the next question, and his tone was a little hurried.

"Yes. Kane's answer was still simple and straightforward.

The shadow rubbed himself up from his seat and floated in front of Kane, leaning forward slightly, revealing a bloodless white face, his black and white eyes full of surprise and anticipation.

"Come with me!" the shadow swept away its previous calm appearance, and the illusory figure trembled slightly.

"If—" Kane's little hand holding the quilt paused slightly, and replied thoughtfully, "I said no." ”

"You, you're going to die. The Shadow's expression was extremely serious, as if he was expounding on something natural and inevitable.

As the Shadow's words fell, Kane visibly noticed that Lilian beside him was trembling slightly.

Lilian, who has struggled with life and death since she was a child, and was almost burned at the stake last night, is more afraid of death than anyone else. Perhaps only those who have seen the face of death cherish life more.

Kane patted Lillian lightly to soothe the fear in her heart, and looked calmly at the shadow, without the slightest emotion in her eyes.

Kane didn't feel that Shadow's words were a threat, and with Shadow's strength and heart, as long as he wanted to, the poor siblings would never have the slightest chance of life.

"What if you say yes?" Kane pulled up the quilt in his hand and pressed it for Lilian, as if he were just discussing a trivial bargaining chip.

With your life as a bargaining chip, you naturally have to ask for a good price.

"You may die, you may not!" Shadow's tone softened slightly, but the serious answer still sounded harsh, "but your dear Sister Lillian will have a good life and go through this life healthy and happy." ”

Kane didn't say a word, just sat quietly, looking at the shadow seriously, as if admiring a famous flower.

Seeing Kane's appearance, the shadow was not angry, but hid his pale cheeks into the illusion of flickering light and darkness.

"Over the years, you and Lillian have lived together, suffered humiliation, and tasted the pain of the world. Especially your sister, I'm afraid I've suffered a lot of dark injuries in order to protect you!" the shadow retreated to the chair and sat down, humming comfortably to the sound of a creaking rattan chair.

"The most serious of them was the three-inch scar on the umbilicus, which was obviously caused by a blunt instrument, which injured the internal organs, and I was surprised that the organs had been so damaged, how could they still survive until now. The Shadow's words brought Kane's mind back to a winter day three years earlier.

That night, nine-year-old little Kane was so hungry that he slipped out to steal a few meat buns from Zhang's butcher's shop while Lillian was out begging.

As you can imagine, the fat woman of the Zhang butcher rushed out and beat Kane violently, and happened to be seen by Lilian, who was about to come back from a bowl of gluttonous rice.

Seeing that Kane was beaten, Lilian rushed forward desperately, shielded Kane with her body, and blocked most of the beatings.

", two pigs and dogs are not as good as bed bugs. "Along with the last scolding of the wicked woman came a pair of sturdy cowhide boots. The sharp shoe, whether intentionally or unintentionally, kicked Lillian's softest abdomen.

Blood foamed from Lilian's mouth, dripping onto Kane's immature back, and dripping into the deepest recesses of his memory.

"If you don't heal, your sister won't live to be twenty years old. The Shadow's conclusion pulled Kane out of the painful memories.

A pink deer velvet box appeared in front of Kane's eyes, and a faint medicinal fragrance emerged from the crack in the box and wafted into Kane's nose.

"This body regeneration pill is based on 30 years of snow top cold ginseng and 10 years of blood toad essence and blood, and is made by the Sanpin Divine Medicine Master, which has the miraculous effect of white bones and raw flesh and warm organs. The Shadow's tone was still so steady, but it was tempting for Kane.

"This pill is worth three thousand gold coins on the market, and it has no price. Holding the tail finger of the medicine box, he gently picked it up, and the lid of the box was opened, and the rich fragrance came to his face, completely overshadowing the fragrance of the red jujube fruit tree in the air.

The mere smell of the leak had already quickened Kane's blood, and the heat flowed from his lower abdomen to his limbs, giving birth to countless qi out of thin air.

"Kane, it smells so good—" Lillian couldn't help but say this, as if she realized something, and quickly shut her mouth, her eyes full of trepidation and unease.

Gold coins are the hard currency of the entire Divine Punishment Continent.

The official exchange rate for a gold coin is 100 silver coins or 10,000 copper plates.

And one copper plate is enough to exchange for 2 meat buns that Kane stole at the beginning.

Three thousand gold coins are enough to buy the entire town of Trist, including the lives of everyone in the town.

"Of course, compared to the well-being of this noble young lady, this small pill of three thousand gold coins is nothing. There was a hint of disdain in the shadow's tone, as if the three thousand gold coins were not worth much more than the three copper plates, "In the capital of the principality, the lord has prepared a mansion and servants worth a total of 30,000 gold coins for this noble lady. ”

"Who are you?" Kane looked away from the box and stared at the shadow's eyes without fear.

"Oh, what a faux pas, I forgot to introduce myself. The shadow calmly stood up from his seat, bowed slightly, and made the most standard aristocratic etiquette" Below, the commander of the Second Legion of the Blood Lion, the fourteenth-level demon general, and the lieutenant general of the Principality of Orrick, Selo. ”
