Without a doubt, the two who chose “yes” must be Lis and Asho.
So everyone was shocked—after all, it’s one thing for Lis to be naive, she’s still young, but Asho, how can you be so naive at your age?
Annan and Pancake were fine, as they didn’t know much about Asho and the others’ past, but Igura and Harvey felt the strongest about it—Asho knows their past.
One of them is a necromancer who has killed countless people and played with corpses, and the other is a fraudster who sells wishes and collects intelligence taxes. Without the constraints of a contract, Asho actually wants to sincerely cooperate with them?
No wonder Yongjie always refuses to admit that you are colleagues, and the Four Pillar God Sect is afraid of having someone like you, they might be uprooted by the head priest… Oh no, they’ve already been uprooted.
The Four Pillar God Sect really picked up a bad egg with you.
Igura looked at Asho with a mocking and admiring look in his eyes, as well as some inexplicable emotions. Harvey looked at Asho and then closed his eyes, holding the catnip in his mouth, lost in thought.
“…The three questions are over, Lis gets 2 points, and Asho and I each get 1 point,” Annan clapped and said, “which means that except for Lis being able to fulfill her wish for free, everyone else has to work for their reward.”
“If it weren’t for Asho’s unexpectedness, then Lis would have been completely right,” Igura’s tone was somewhat intriguing.
“The luck of children is always better than that of adults, and the luck of cute little girls is even more natural than ours.”
This sentence didn’t sound like a problem at first.
But the problem is that it was said by Harvey.
Asho, who is bound by a contract to protect his daughter, hugged Lis directly, while Annan and Pancake also looked at the necromancer vigilantly, and even Igura kept his distance from him.
Harvey was a little helpless, “I’m not praising what I covet, and my hunting range for humans is from 18 to 88 years old, and Lis isn’t qualified yet.”
“88 years old!?” Everyone moved further away from him.
“You don’t understand the wonderful decay and deathly aura that exudes from the elderly… Time rusts every gear, and the sound of aging plays the rhythm of death. The elderly are like the final curtain between us and death, and I can easily lift the veil of the Grim Reaper… It’s certainly stunningly beautiful to freeze the vitality of young people in a moment, but it’s also worth savoring the art of imprisoning death in the elderly.”
Before, everyone thought it wasn’t good for Harvey to smoke, after all, catnip has a significant impact on lifespan and sanity, but now they thought—just go ahead and smoke.
“I’ll fulfill my promise first. Pancake, prepare a gift for Lis,” Annan looked at Igura and the others, “So, are you willing to complete my tasks to get your reward?”
“As long as you don’t damage our credit,” Igura said indifferently, “I’m fine with it.”
“If not doing it yourself won’t damage your credit, then I can accept a larger task,” Harvey said, “after all, most of the time, work is a rare form of entertainment for me.”
“In that case, can I transfer my work to Harvey after you’ve completed your tasks?” Asho raised his hand, “As the saying goes, the capable should do more…”
“After you’ve completed your tasks, I’ll fulfill your requests,” Annan took the box handed to her by Pancake and took out a pink bracelet to give to Lis, “Waterproof and temperature-proof, once worn, it’s bound, others can’t use it, it can be directly connected to the curtain, there’s already a balance of 10,000 copper coins in the account, although the speaking function is restricted, Lis can still use it for shopping. Well, it can also be used to open the ‘Gospel.’”
Watching Lis happily put on the bracelet, Igura touched his own ring and asked thoughtfully, “Our rings… have had most of their functions neutered?”
Their rings could only be used to open the “Gospel,” with no other functions such as connecting to the curtain, let alone shopping.
“I haven’t shortchanged you, your rings are expensive luxury items,” Annan glanced at him askance, “this should be the same in all countries, the more expensive the luxury item, the more single its function. On the other hand, the cheap items used by the common people have very complete functions.”
“Indeed, only the rich would buy sports cars that can’t adapt to most road conditions, while the cars purchased by ordinary people are fuel-efficient, durable, spacious, and have strong crash resistance,” Igura nodded, “it’s despicable shackles to let us, who live in the mud, use meaningless sports cars.”
“I actually prefer to call it an employee benefit,” Annan showed a sly smile, “Well then, I’ll take my leave, and I wish you all a happy life.”
After Annan left, Asho immediately grabbed Lis by the neck, “Lis, you don’t need to spend so much money on clothes, why not give it to me first, I’ll help you save it, and give it back to you when you get married in the future…”
Lis didn’t refuse this dirty adult, just tilted her head and said, “But Daddy, you don’t even have an account now, how can I transfer it to you?”
“Oh right,” Asho looked a little dejected, but quickly perked up, “then, Lis, would you like to buy a gift for Daddy?”
“Of course,” Lis said under Asho’s expectant gaze, “as long as Daddy finds Mommy, I’ll give you a gift!”
“Hmph, if you don’t want to, then don’t.”
Asho beckoned to Harvey, who was preparing to leave, “Harvey, give me a box of catnip.”
Igura immediately asked, “Are you tired of living too long?”
“No, it’s rare that I have time lately, and I want to test the resistance of my stand-in to poison. And since I need to use the stand-in more to master it, using it for housework seems to have reached the limit of proficiency, so I need to study more deeply how to use the stand-in…”Poisoning a substitute can enhance the control over a Sorcery Spirit?
Is this some wild practice method from the Four Pillar God cult?
Igura shook his head, nonchalantly following Lis, who was just about to enter the library.
Lis, noticing the con artist trailing behind, instantly became vigilant, guarding her bracelet: “The bracelet is already bound to me, it’s useless even if you snatch it, and I’ll call my daddy to come beat you up!”
“If you wish, I wouldn’t mind you calling Asho over.”
Igura pushed Lis into the library and then closed the door, like an evil queen plotting against a little princess.
“Lis, it’s time to settle accounts.”
Seeing this, Lis immediately retreated in fear, hiding behind a desk, and stammered, “I-I’m sorry, I won’t call you Auntie Bokin anymore…”
“Hmm, that is indeed a big problem, but that’s not what I’m here to talk to you about today.”
“I’m not even here for you.”
Igura crouched down, looking Lis in the eye, face to face.
“The one I’m looking for is the other person hiding inside you.”
