Frightened, Xiaoyu pushed open the door of the house, walked through the courtyard full of fallen leaves, and shouted loudly as she ran: "Dad, Dad, I'm Xiaoyu, I'm back, where are you..."

The huge mansion echoed Xiao Yu's empty shouts, and soon the cries were accompanied by crying. Zhang Lie stood at the door and sniffled slightly, then stepped in and carefully closed the door of the house.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu's shouting stopped, as if she had discovered something. Zhang Lie walked over to that side, and soon saw Xiaoyu standing at the door of a side room behind him in a daze, looking at the room and crying.

In the room, the Xie family member, who was pale and so thin that he only had a handful of bones left, lay quietly on the bed, motionless. The room was covered in dust, apparently uncleaned in a long time, and a brazier was placed next to the bed, with yellow runes that had not yet been burned.

Just one glance at Zhang Lie already understood what was happening, the plague caused the servants in this house to either die or run, leaving only Xie Yuan alone. He was also infected with the plague, and because he could not be effectively cured, he was afraid that he had died. Looking at the appearance of the house, it seems that there are still people taking care of it during the day, but the other party obviously does not dare to stay in this empty mansion at night, so there is no other figure at all now.

"Dad...", Xiao Yu threw herself into the room.

Zhang Lie also walked in, and when he came to the bedside, he was about to say comfort, when suddenly his heart moved, and he hurriedly put two fingers on the outside of Xie Yuan's lips. Although it was faint, Zhang Lie did clearly feel that there was a faint breath spewing out of Xie Yuan's outer nose.

"Don't cry, your dad is still alive." Zhang Lie pulled Xiao Yu up.

Surprised and delighted, Xiaoyu couldn't help crying: "Really, is my father really alive?" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Lie nodded: "If we come one day late, he will really die." ”

"Great." Xiaoyu wiped away her tears and cheered and took Zhang Lie's hand: "Brother Zhang Lie, save my father, I know you must have a way." ”

"But... I've already consumed a lot of mana in my fight against the plague, I'm afraid..."

Not knowing it, Xiaoyu begged anxiously: "Brother Zhang Lie, please, he is my father..."

"Okay then." After deliberately hesitating for a moment, Zhang Lie nodded: "But you have to promise me one condition." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I will cure your father, and from now on, you will be with me forever and never separate."

Looking at Zhang Lie's serious face in surprise, Xiaoyu's face turned red, and she said timidly: "Brother Zhang Lie, you, why did you suddenly say this..."

"Will you promise?" Zhang Lie said.

Xiaoyu obviously made a mistake, she lowered her head shyly, and nodded lightly after a while: "Anyway, the son of Liu County Ling is dead, if you save my father and propose again, he, he will definitely agree to take me... Marry me to you... Ah, I don't know how to say it, Brother Zhang Lie, you understand. ”

Zhang Lie didn't care about this, looking at Xiao Yu, who was blushing with shame, he suddenly smiled strangely: "Very good, this is what you promised yourself..."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and put his hand over Xie Yuan's forehead, and began to mumble a string of incantations from his mouth. For a moment, Zhang Lie's eyes lit up, and he shouted in a low voice: "Ghost method. Sperm Worm Summons! ”

Large white grains instantly rose from his palm, covering Xie Yuanwai's entire body. These sperm accumulators from hell are like activated charcoal that purifies water, sucking out the epidemic poison from Xie Yuan's external body little by little. After a while, with a soft pop, a cloud of black smoke was completely extracted, and then it was swallowed up by the sperm accumulation worm.

Xie Yuanwai's pale face floated a little rosy, and his breathing gradually smoothed out, obviously much better. Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised to see the changes in her father, and couldn't help but lose her voice in pain.

Secretly said that the little girl was really troublesome, crying and crying at every turn, Zhang Lie took Xiaoyu's hand and walked out: "Okay, your father's epidemic virus has just gone, and he needs to recuperate." Tomorrow he will wake up. ”

"Great, Brother Zhang Lie, thank you, you are so good." Xiaoyu was so happy that she was incoherent.

"Don't forget what you promised me." Zhang Lie said indifferently.

Saying that, the two of them had come to the wide hall, and Xiao Yu stared at him with some disgust: "I hate it, you still say it." When my father is ready, you propose to him, won't we be together forever and forever..."

"No, I can't help but have a lot of dreams at night, so let's do it now." Zhang Lie shook his head suddenly.

"Do, do what?" Xiao Yu asked in surprise.

"Be with me forever..."Zhang Lie grinned, and a white flame erupted from outside his body.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Xiaoyu took two steps back in surprise: "Brother Zhang Lie, what are you doing?" ”

"If we don't eat you, how can we be together forever..."Zhang Lie approached Xiao Yu, and the steaming white flames reflected the light in the hall on and off, showing his gloom even more.

"Brother Zhang Lie, don't scare Xiaoyu, okay?" Xiao Yu was so frightened that she shrank back again and again.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu's eyes widened violently, revealing an incomparably frightened look, and then, a scream containing incomparable fear pierced the peace of the house.

What appeared in front of Xiao Yu was a huge white tiger that occupied the entire space of the wide lobby room. It lay silently on the ground, its whole body was full of white flames, and a pair of huge tiger eyes stared at Xiao Yu who was trembling, although there was no trace of hideous and terrifying meaning, but the natural tiger power had frightened Xiao Yu's brain.

"You... You're not Brother Zhang Lie, you're a monster, you're a monster! Suddenly, Xiao Yu screamed.

The white tiger slowly stood up, and saw the huge size of his body, and after a moment of silence, the white tiger spoke: "I am Zhang Lie, Zhang Lie is a monster." Although majestic and low, this is indeed Zhang Lie's voice.

The horror in my heart deepened, especially since the person I had always trusted turned out to be a monster, and this blow was undoubtedly heavy. Xiao Yu's whole body trembled, and she shook her head and retreated: "No, you lie to me, you are not Brother Zhang Lie." Brother Zhang Lie is a good person, a mage with high mana, he is not a monster..."

With a sigh, Zhang Lie slowly took two steps, and his huge head was in front of Xiao Yu: "When did I say that I was a mage?" It's all wishful thinking. ”

Meeting in the barren mountains, the white tiger that eats the evil beast, and eating the monster raw for food... Suddenly, all kinds of incredible things that had happened to Zhang Lie before flashed through Xiaoyu's mind.

"You... Are you really a monster...," Tama asked, stammering.

Zhang Lie didn't answer, just looked at her calmly. This kind of calm and bottomless gaze Xiao Yu is very familiar, and this is indeed what he often sees in Zhang Lie's eyes.

So, everything in his heart completely collapsed in an instant, and Xiaoyu leaned against the door like a fool and slowly sat down on the ground: "You, what are you going to do?" ”

"You have a rare spiritual quality, and I need your soul, so I will eat you." Zhang Lie said unabashedly.

"So, that's why you've always protected me, and that's what you planned to do when we met?"

"Yes."

The last bit of expectation in her heart was also shattered, and Xiao Yu's eyes instantly became extremely empty, and there was no trace of brilliance. Zhang Lie gradually approached, and at this moment, the instinct to survive suddenly woke Xiaoyu up.

She burst into tears and cried with deep sorrow: "Don't, you're not Brother Zhang Lie, you're the most hateful monster, you lied to me, I don't want to be eaten by you..."

As he spoke, out of nowhere, Xiao Yu turned around and ran out of the door.

Quietly watching Xiaoyu run into the hospital, Zhang Lie suddenly shrugged and pounced, and had broken through the roof and rushed into the hospital. The white tiger's huge body jumped in front of Xiao Yu and fell to the ground, and when he saw the ground shake, Xiao Yu who had escaped had been shaken to the ground.

No longer had the strength to get up, Xiaoyu collapsed to the ground and kept crying: "Brother Zhang Lie, I'm Xiaoyu, please let me go, don't eat me, I'm afraid... Daddy, help me, Daddy..."

Turning around and silently looking at Xiao Yu, who couldn't stop crying, Zhang Lie sighed: "Heaven and earth are copper furnaces, yin and yang are carbon, and everything in the world is just suffering in this furnace." Born in troubled times, whether it is a human or a demon, life is like a mustard, maybe one day you and I will die, to blame, blame this world of the weak and the strong, you and I have no choice. Maybe it's not a good thing for you to be eaten by me..."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth violently, and the huge tiger body pressed towards Xiao Yu...

The crying stopped, and the courtyard became extremely silent for a moment. The white tiger remained motionless and maintained a biting posture, and its body full of strength froze and remained still, like a most beautiful sculpture.

Suddenly, the white tiger raised its head and let out a tiger roar that shook the night sky.

A large number of white flames rose outside the body, and at the same time, the white tiger had changed back to Zhang Lie's appearance. He raised his right palm and silently looked at the palm of his palm, where a faint shadow like smoke rose, and if he looked closely, it was Xiao Yu's soul.

"Why don't you still want to be one with me..."Zhang Lie sighed and said to the soul.

Xiaoyu, who has become a soul, still cried, she reluctantly looked at the wing room outside Xie Yuan, and kept whispering: "Dad, Dad..."

"Are you still worried?"

Zhang Lie suddenly shouted: "In your father's heart, you are already dead!" ”

The soul's face was suddenly startled, and Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Lie in disbelief.

Striding into the hall, Zhang Lie casually threw out a fireball, then pointed to the wall on the other side of the door and said, "Idiot, look at what this is!" ”

Xiaoyu slowly turned her head, and on the table, a tablet came into view: the position of her beloved daughter Xie Xiaoyu.

His eyes gradually widened, and the last trace of the soul's bond was ruthlessly shattered by this tablet. Let out a miserable scream, the soul body that gathered into Xiaoyu has suddenly exploded.

"Why bother..."Zhang Lie muttered and sucked in with his mouth open.

As a result, Xiaoyu's scattered soul was sucked into Zhang Lie's abdomen.

Slowly touching the position of his heart, Zhang Lie muttered: "Three years, in three years, you will be able to turn into my ghost." The days to come will be endless, I hope you can forget the sad events of today sooner, otherwise..."

With that, he strode into the hospital.

"This time, your daughter is really dead. But the other Xie Xiaoyu will stay with me forever..."muttered something to the wing room outside Xie Yuan, Zhang Lie stepped into the shadow under him and disappeared without a trace.

Swish... The night wind blew, and the fallen leaves in the courtyard rose with the wind, and with a snap, the tablet of Xiaoyu in the hall was blown to the ground, falling to the ground and shattering.

Four hundred years ago, a month and fifteen days after Zhang Lie and Xiaoyu met, Zhang Lie devoured her. Since then, the ghost Xiaoyu has been accompanied by the tiger demon for a long time......
