Turning around suddenly, Phaethon, who was freed from the pressure of national subjugation, suddenly thought of the content of her conversation with Shangluo at the beginning.
"Which sentence?"
"That's what I said before! My father's heart is in your hands!"
"Yes, I said it from the beginning. I said that people in the Ming Dynasty will not do secret things, and I have made it clear to you. You didn't believe it at first."
"Father God! This is true! You are not kidding me!"
Shangluo once again gave a clear answer: "No."
Bang bang bang bang, she rushed back with a few steps and pushed Shangluo down on the sofa: "Give my father's heart back! That's not within the scope of our agreement! It's me who violated the contract, not him! Give me back my father's heart!" Father’s heart is back!”
"Hey, calm down. Don't hit people when you ask questions. Have you forgotten the consequences of your last 'outburst of anger'?"
"I don't care! Give my father's heart back! His practice, his vision, and the efforts of countless people are all on that golden elixir! You can't hand it over just because of a mere Phaeton. Get out! Father, what on earth is he thinking! Why did he agree to you!"
"Anyway"
"Anyway, only one of us can get out of this door today!"
"Then see you in the next life!" Shangluo turned over, grabbed Phaethon's throat, and used the momentum to push her into the sofa. The cushions of the sofa were compressed to the limit, and the pocket springs inside broke apart one by one, and Phaethon was also pressed into it:
"I'm telling you, you can't beat me now. Because I am a celestial being and you are just a mortal. My patience has its limits! If you don't calm down now, you will really be sorry for your father!"
"." Phaethon was choked, and his whole face turned red.
"Do you understand? Just blink if you understand!"
She used to blink, but now she doesn't blink at all. She stared at Shangluo with bloodshot eyes.
But Phaethon, a mortal, quickly realized the difficulty of mortals - if a person is pinched, he will die. If a person does not blink, he will shed tears.
Tears flowed, but not just from physical discomfort. The few tears left seemed to open a valve:
"Awww!!!!!!"
A flood of tears flowed out. Phaethon cried.
[Tsk, she cried. 】
"She has a temper as stubborn as a donkey. I received a gift from his father, so I have to educate his daughter for him."
Like a newborn's first cry, this was Phaethon's first cry as a mortal. Curling up on the sofa, she cried with tears streaming down her face: "Dad, I'm sorry for you!"
The first thing she thought of was that she felt sorry for her father. The debt between her and Shangluo has been settled, but the debt between her and her father cannot be settled.
Like a swaddled baby, she curled up on the sofa and couldn't cry enough.
"Alas." Shangluo sighed. He picked up the kettle and poured Phaethon a cup of tea. When she gets tired of crying, this cup of tea can help her soothe her throat.
After a long time, the crying stopped suddenly.
She slowly sat up and saw the hot tea.
After taking a sip, she also took the tissue thrown by Shangluo and wiped the tears on her face with the tissue.
"Why don't you stop crying?"
"I just realized that if I kept crying, no father would come to help me. He could only help me so far."
"That's not the case. Your father seems to have retained a considerable degree of divine power."
"It's useless. That golden elixir is the source of his strength. He is now like a fish out of water, and he has to carry heavy objects over mountains and ridges. He can't hold on for long. The lighthouse project is not over yet, and he will put himself It was put in for the sacrifice."
"But I have no choice. That power helped me a lot. Now both of our futures have to be projected into the 'infinite universe in a nutshell'. My responsibility is also very important. That star you call The object called the 'golden elixir' is mine, but it is not just mine. I also carry countless people's wishes on my body, and I cannot just take it off."
"I know, I know. Then..." She looked at Shangluo: "Is it possible that at some point in the future, you can return it to my father?"
"You understand, it's not repayment, it belongs to me now. But if I no longer need it in the future, I can use it to make a deal with you - yes, I can only make a deal, because I didn't give it away for no reason. It’s necessary for you. Don’t you like trading very much? Then let’s trade. What chips do you have now?”
"I" she looked at the tea cup. Her face and her hair were reflected in the cup. The demigod's blond hair, like the Mediterranean sun, had disappeared along with the power itself. To be precise, it was transferred to Shangluo. Using divine power as a furnace, Shangluo obtained the power of heaven and man, as well as the accompanying gorgeous hair (and red pupils).
She herself had only the hair of an ordinary Roman. Black, but slightly curly and a bit messy.
She has nothing left.
"I don't have it now. But I will in the future. I will work hard to get chips, and I will definitely make an equal transaction with you."
"That's what people say. I think your father will be happy to see you like you are now. Say goodbye to your life as a demigod, take a good look at the world with your own eyes, and rebuild it with your hands. Feel her. If you feel sorry for your father, then use your own actions to repay it. I can't help you repay it, but I can give you the opportunity to repay it. Do you understand? Just blink if you understand."
Phaethon blinked.
"Drink tea to moisten your throat."
Phaethon drank tea.
"Very good. The first lesson you have to learn is - don't lose your temper! Whether it's a god, a demigod, or a mortal, this world has its own rules and they won't waver with your anger. No. You can't get what belongs to you by losing your temper. If you want it, just rely on your own hands to get it: whether you get it with hard work or snatch it back with force, in short, just calm down and don't be angry. When you come up, you don’t care about anything. You don’t have to care about yourself, there are others who care about you, you know? So this is not for yourself, but also for your father. Just blink when you understand.”
Phaethon blinked.
"Then I will assume that you have listened. Daozu sent you to me, and I will give you this opportunity. I happen to be short of manpower here. I will assume that you are willing to work: as an employee, you can propose Requirements as an employee. Do you have any requirements now?"
"I'm hungry." After crying, she was indeed hungry.
"There is a mail order book in the mailbox outside the door. There should be a takeout order on it."
"."
"Why are you looking at me? Go get it! At the door, turn left when you go out and reach the mailbox. I'll treat you to dinner, can't you go get a menu?"
"Oh!!! I'm going, I'm going."
