The group returned to the castle belonging to Ives on the top of the snow-capped mountains.
The reason why he didn't return to the territory at the foot of the mountain was that on the one hand it was a long way, and on the other hand the territory must be full of dead people now.
Evelin was exhausted physically and mentally and needed to think about the future, so she didn't want to go back and face that bad scene for the time being.
Compared to the young Dinah, Evelin knew the importance of family better, and many people who had a close relationship with her also died. Ed, Teresa, Daniel... these subordinates who had followed her for many years all died. At the hands of Ives, she was quite sad.
The group of people settled in the castle. Xu Cheng wanted to enjoy the reunion with Akimiya Yue, but she was occupied by the blind woman Ito Rika.
The two have been separated for nearly a year, and so many things have happened during this year that there is indeed endless things to talk about.
Xu Cheng had no interest in competing with a light bulb for favor, so he could only give Qiu Gongyue to her.
Since Dinah came back, she has been teasing the Snow Wolf God who came back with her, like a naughty child who got his favorite toy, and she didn't even care about her favorite nephew Archer.
Xu Cheng found that he had nothing to do and could only accompany Evelin to receive the inheritance belonging to Joelsa and Ives.
This pair of inhumane grandparents indeed left a lot of legacy to future generations, including property, books, valuables, etc.
These didn't mean anything to Evelin, who had inherited the assassin's heritage. Fortunately, she finally found something useful.
Joelsa left behind many secrets, including how to sign a contract with the beast, and the most important thing is to seize the body.
In front of Xu Cheng, Evelin burned the secret technique of seizing the body with fire.
She is not a messenger of justice, but she also has her own moral bottom line. With her two ancestors, Joelsa and Ives, as role models, the secret technique of seizing a body is really too uncomfortable in her eyes.
In fact, Evelin did hesitate when burning this secret technique.
In her mind, she tried to find reasons for herself. For example, if Xu Cheng or her sister were seriously injured in the future, she might be able to use the secret technique of seizing bodies to help them survive.
This reason almost convinced Evelin, but in the end she still firmly believed in destroying the secret technique.
Because she was afraid that she would not be able to resist the temptation of extending her life in the future and become the same person as Joelsa. The brave dragon slayer would eventually turn into an evil dragon. There were too many such facts, and human nature could not stand the test.
Xu Cheng fully agreed with Evelin's actions. If it were him, he would not take the lives of innocent people when he was about to die.
What if it's an enemy who seizes the body? It doesn't feel unacceptable, but this kind of thing only happens zero times or countless times. Once the bottom line is breached, it is no longer possible to maintain it.
The arrangement of the inheritance continued until nightfall. After dinner, Xu Cheng took a hot bath and walked directly to Qiu Gongyue's room.
After pushing the door open, he saw Qiu Gongyue, who had also just taken a shower, sitting on the bed in her pajamas, blow-drying her hair.
There was also Rika Ito who was blow-drying her hair.
Xu Cheng felt unhappy all of a sudden. His job of helping Qiu Gongyue blow dry her hair was actually taken away by a light bulb.
"Sorry."
Ito Rika showed an insincere smile: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we have to talk all night long. Just wait until next time."
Xu Cheng did not give in this time: "You will have plenty of time in the future. There is no need to rush. I will go back in two days. Time is tight. Miss Ito, you should go back to your room to sleep tonight."
Ito Rika showed a surprised expression: "You are a couple and will definitely be together in the future. How can I compare with you? You will have a lot of time in the future. There is no need to compete with me now, right?"
She put her hands on her hips and half-smiled: "Or are you saying that you have too many women and you have too little time for Ah Yue?"
This woman...
Xu Cheng's fist suddenly became hard. If Akimiya Yue were not present, he would definitely let Ito Rika see what Jinfu Jinfu means, and the whole audience cheered.
Qiugong Yue seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said nothing.
I finally reunited with my boyfriend, only to find that there was another old sweetheart around him, and they hooked up in front of her, which made me sick to death.
As long as she could endure it, another woman would have kicked this couple to death.
This is something Ito Rika has never understood, why she didn't kick her boyfriend when he cheated on her.
After she finished drying her hair, she threw away the hair dryer, hugged Qiu Gongyue and got into the bed, covering the two of them, and then said with a smile: "Please help us close the door when you go out."
Seeing that the referee no longer supported him, Xu Cheng immediately changed his strategy and joined in if he couldn't beat him.
"It's okay. You want to talk all night, right? Add me. I also want to talk to you all night. I promise not to disturb you."
As he spoke, he opened the quilt, looked down and saw four long legs, and immediately lowered his head and got inside.
boom!
A cold wind blew.
Xu Cheng stood in the deserted corridor, looked back at the closed door, and silently wrote down their actions in the small notebook in his mind.
Huh, if you ignore me now, you will be out of reach in the future.
Xu Cheng cursed and returned to his room, got into the warm bed, and picked up the watch on the bedside table.
The door was unlocked. According to his premonition, someone would attack him at night. It would depend on who was bolder.
In an environment with more boys and fewer girls, women will generally become timid and timid. On the other hand, in an environment with more boys and girls, women's courage will skyrocket, and they will become fearful of others.
This phenomenon is also called Schrödinger's courage, or bullying.
Xu Cheng waited expectantly. As a result, he waited until late at night and looked through everything in his hands. The person who was expected to attack at night still did not appear.
"It seems that the prediction was wrong... No, maybe everyone is too tired today."
After giving them a reason, Xu Cheng threw it away, stretched out, and was about to get into bed when there was a knock on the door.
"Hey, I just said there was no expected error."
Xu Cheng jumped out of bed and opened the door happily.
As soon as the door opened, Evelin was seen standing outside the door wearing pajamas, with her hands behind her back. This posture made her already proud bust even more prominent.
Xu Cheng smiled like an experienced driver.
He was obviously used to seeing Evelin's body in the underground world, but at this time he still felt it was difficult to take his eyes away.
Evelin asked calmly: "Is Dinah here with you?"
Xu Cheng's smile froze slightly: "No!"
"Then I'll go back to sleep. If she sneaks up to you, remember to let her go back to sleep."
"oh!"
Seeing Xu Cheng showing a constipated expression and about to close the door, Evelin finally couldn't stand it anymore and burst out laughing.
As the head of the family, she rarely smiles in order to maintain her dignity, and even when she smiles, it is a very small smile.
It's the first time I've seen her smiling so tremblingly and rippling like this now. She has a different kind of charm from the usual cold beauty.
"I'm kidding you, Dinah has already gone to bed. I supervised it myself."
After laughing, Evelin took out a bottle of red wine and two glasses with her hands from behind her back: "Have a drink with me."
Xu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, almost thinking that there was something wrong with his masculine charm.
Let me just say, if a handsome guy is alone in an empty room, how can there be no one to attack him?
Evelin walked in with a gust of fragrance, and Xu Cheng noticed that she had just finished taking a shower, sprayed perfume on her body, and put on light makeup.
A man will die for his bosom friend, and a woman will look good for her who pleases her. The words of our ancestors will never lie.
Xu Cheng locked the door behind him and turned around to find that Evelin had gotten under the covers. He also got under the covers and the two of them sat side by side.
From this position, you can not only see Evelin's snow-white neck, delicate and beautiful collarbones, but also the towering peaks and bottomless valleys that hold up the front of her pajamas.
He couldn't help lowering his head, burying himself in her neck, and took a deep breath. His nose was filled with the intoxicating sweet fragrance.
Evelin did not reject Xu Cheng's closeness, but instead felt a sincere sense of security.
The two had been conjoined twins in the underground world for a month, and had long developed the habit of close contact.
Evelin now has to hold something in her arms to sleep peacefully at night. She didn't have this bad habit before.
But tonight she didn’t just come to Xu Cheng to relive old dreams. Evelin poured a glass of wine and handed it to Xu Cheng.
But he lay on her shoulder and couldn't get up: "Feed me."
"Don't you have any hands of your own?"
Although she said that, she still raised the wine glass to Xu Cheng's mouth, gently fed him a sip, and then raised her head to drink the rest.
Xu Cheng already knew Evelin very well, and knew that with her personality, she would not bring wine to flirt with him in the middle of the night. It would be possible if it were Hoshizaki Yukina.
"What do you want from me?"
"I want to ask your opinion."
Evelin let out a long breath: "What should I do next? Where should I go to find the whereabouts of the goddess or the goddess' heir?"
The contract signed by Joelsa means that if you want to use the assassin to inherit this power, you have to find the goddess or the goddess's successor and obtain the other party's forgiveness for her.
But to be honest, because she had always focused on the internal affairs of the family, Evelin didn't know much about the outside world. She knew about the Death Giver, but this was the first time the Shadow Goddess had heard of it.
Coupled with the current chaos in the world, she really doesn't know what to do in the future.
After thinking for a long time in her room, she decided to ask Xu Cheng. He at least had a much better understanding of the outside world than she did.
Xu Cheng raised his head, thought for a while, and said, "I'd better tell you about the current complicated situation between the Shadow Goddess, the Goddess Cult, and the Granted Dead, so that you won't be confused in the future. "
Evelin nodded, showing an expression of listening attentively, and then she felt Xu Cheng's two hands reach in from the hem of her pajamas, one going up and the other going down.
She glanced at Xu Cheng and snorted: "Just talk, what are you doing?"
She sounded like an aunt, but even though she said this, her body did not stop her. Instead, she changed into a position that allowed Xu Cheng to move his hands easily.
