"I can grant you a small wish."
Until the next day, when the morning light dawned, both Nongying and Ding Shiliu were unable to fall asleep because of Lingchu's short words.
When Lingchu saw Nong Ying and Ding Shiliu again before leaving, they had a look of tiredness on their originally fair faces, but when they looked at Lingchu, the light in their eyes was... Very bright.
The first one to speak was Nongying. She seemed to be impatient. As soon as she saw Lingchu, she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, can you remove my status as a slave for me?"
Nongying was originally from the demon clan, and even had a high status since birth. Now that she was reduced to a slave due to some involvement, she was naturally unwilling to accept it. Now that she had the opportunity, she would definitely give it a try.
Yesterday, when she heard a small wish that Lingchu casually promised, she could no longer suppress the thoughts in her heart.
Lingchu glanced at Nongying, nodded simply, reached out and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and sketched a few strokes on it, then handed it to Nongying, "Take this and go find Sanhuang." Well, he will take care of it."
"In addition, there is some magic crystal here, which can be regarded as your reward for these days."
Nongying carefully took the flimsy piece of paper. After seeing the purse on the table, a look of surprise could not be concealed on his face. Then he took the purse solemnly and looked at Lingchu, "I wonder if I can tell you my name, sir? Although I can’t repay you for the time being, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you!"
Lingchu looked at Nong Ying carefully and smiled softly, "You can call me Miss Yu."
Miss Yu.
Not only Nong Ying, but also Ding Shiliu on the side took note of this title seriously.
"You can go look for Sanhuang first while I'm still here." Lingchu smiled slightly and sent Nong Ying away, then slowly looked at Ding Shiliu.
Speaking of which, this was the first time in so many days that Lingchu looked at this human girl so carefully.
However, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is very thin and looks much smaller than he actually is. His appearance is very beautiful, but his demeanor is a bit shrinking and he does not dare to make eye contact with others. When he speaks, he is like a frightened animal. rabbit.
Now, only Lingchu and Ding Shiliu were left in the cave.
Under the cover of the skirt, a formation quietly covered this small world, making it difficult for outsiders to explore the situation here.
"What about you? What else do you wish for?"
Ding Shiliu nervously tugged at the hem of her clothes with both hands. When she heard Lingchu's question, she hesitated a little. She also wanted to regain her freedom, but she was not stupid and knew that she and Nongying were different.
Nongying is a demon. After regaining his freedom, he can come and go as he pleases. But he is different. His human race will only move from one cave to another after leaving the shelter.
What Ding Shiliu hopes most is to continue to serve the woman in front of him, but the envoy does not need slaves.
Different from Nong Ying's excitement, Ding Shiliu stayed up all night because she was confused. She didn't know what else she wished for.
No. Ding Shiliu was suddenly stunned for a moment. She might still have a wish. She wanted a name, a name of her own.
"Your Majesty, I...I want one."
"Have you thought about it?"
Before Ding Shiliu could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lingchu. She raised her head blankly and met a pair of calm and clear eyes. The sun, moon and stars seemed to be reflected in those eyes. Mountains, rivers and lakes.
Ding Shiliu's eyes were suddenly in a trance, and her mind seemed to be disconnected. Her mouth opened and closed, closed and opened again, but no sound came out.
"Do you want to become stronger?"
"Do you want to take control of your life?"
"Do you want those who have bullied you to kneel before you?"
"Do you want to live like a human being?"
Every word was like a giant hammer knocking on Ding Shiliu's heart, and the soft voice was like the temptation of a succubus, making Ding Shiliu's mind shaken and his figure crumbling.
She was very scared, afraid that this was a way for the demons to play with people's hearts. Her legs were weak from fear, and her mind went blank, as if she would collapse to the ground in the next second.
But there was a strong unwillingness in her heart, and every word was like a hook, firmly digging out the thoughts buried deep in her heart little by little, making her always stubborn and unwilling to fall.
Ding Shiliu lived for eighteen years. For the first fifteen years, she grew up in a human cave, where it was dark and dark, and people were inferior to animals. For the next three years, she was traded, picked on, and chosen like a commodity. The choice was never in her hands.
Her edges have been smoothed away, but she still has edges in her heart!
This human girl, who was barely eighteen years old, raised her head suddenly. Her full forehead was covered with beads of sweat, her face was as pale as snow, her lower lip was bitten red, and her mind was filled with thoughts that never stopped for a moment. , but she still spoke word by word, "I, I want! I want to live like a human being!"
Big tears rolled down Ding Shiliu's eyes. She once heard from the older generation in the cave that the human race was the primacy of all things. A long time ago, the human race had immortals, a country, dignity and freedom. .
Even if the demon woman in front of him is playing with her heart or setting her up as a trap, Ding Shiliu still wants to give it a try and risk his life.
With tears in his eyes, Ding Shiliu seemed to see a smile on the face of the extremely beautiful woman above him. The smile disappeared in a flash, but it made Ding Shiliu feel as bright as the flowers suddenly blooming all over the mountains and plains.
She blinked and forced away the hazy mist in her eyes. The smile that seemed to be just an illusion had disappeared, but the woman's eyes became much softer.
Lingchu could see the stubbornness and unwillingness in Ding Shiliu's eyes, and from her answers, he could hear the arrogance that still remained in her bones.
Even if you are trapped in jail and turned into mud, you still have the courage to climb up.
Standing up and taking steps, Lingchu walked step by step in front of Ding Shiliu, looking down at the human girl who was half-supporting the table and chair because of her weak legs, with blue light flowing in her eyes.
"I have a method called "The Sixteen Methods of Tiangang Disha". I am now passing on the method to Ding Shiliu of the human race. If Ding Shiliu receives this method, he must swear by his inner demons and will not agree to it. He will not reveal who, where, or when he got the method. , If you violate your oath, you will be haunted by inner demons, your body will die, your path will disappear, and you will never be reincarnated."
There was also a faint blue light in Ding Shiliu's eyes. She spoke in a daze, and swore in Lingchu's voice, "I, Ding Shiliu of the human race, would like to swear by the demon in my heart that I will not agree to it and will never reveal the secret of obtaining the law." If you violate your oath, you will be haunted by inner demons, your body will die, your mind will disappear, and you will never recover!"
There was a vague aura flowing between heaven and earth, dissipating from Ding Shiliu's body, and the blue light in Lingchu's eyes also slowly dissipated.
When Ding Shiliu came back to his senses, Lingchu's figure was no longer in front of him. In the huge space, there were only a bag of magic crystals on the table and a thin piece of paper.
Ding Shiliu endured the pain in his mind caused by the sudden addition of many messages, and looked around blankly at the empty surroundings. Then he quickly stepped forward and picked up the paper. There were only a few lines of words on it.
