An felt the body of the puppy in her arms visibly stiffen after the word "Xiao Hei".

"Don't you like it?"

An mistakenly thought it was because she was dissatisfied with the name she gave her.

After all, it does sound too simple.

"Well, then I'll give you another one. How about calling it Xiao Hui? Xiao Brown? Xiao..."

An showed an embarrassed expression and started to name names constantly, but her "no culture" was still vividly reflected. They all started with "little something" and then added a single word.

After the little wolf cub recovered from the complicated emotions of "Xiao Hei", he quickly stopped An. No matter in which sense, the name Xiao Hei is irreplaceable.

Ann seemed to feel the same way about this.

"Hmm, I also think it's best to call him Xiao Hei! Hey...cough...cough..."

Seeing that the puppy seemed very satisfied with her name, Ann put a smile on her face again. For some reason, within just a few minutes of meeting this stray puppy, she felt inexplicably comfortable. Everything in my heart seemed to disappear for a short time.

However, the psychological one disappeared, but the physical one did not. On the contrary, it seemed more like it, but it still had to pop out at this time to break the rare warmth and let An return to reality.

"Cough...cough..." An's laughter turned into a serious coughing sound within a few moments.

She quickly put the little wolf cub in her arms aside, quickly turned her back and covered her mouth with her hand.

When she found that the little wolf cub actually ran over to her and looked at her with worried eyes, An used her other hand to swing her hand repeatedly to stop the little wolf cub from approaching.

After a long while, An's coughing eased up and became less severe.

Through the faint light coming from the ceiling, the cub could see that the bandages on An's hands on the ground were stained with a few touches of dark red liquid.

"No...it's okay, I'm used to it."

Seeing the anxious look on the little wolf cub, An forced a smile of no concern on her face, but she could tell just from her voice that she was obviously much weaker.

She leaned against the corner, and then, as if some memories were brought back, An murmured to herself in a very small voice:

"This is the price I should repay and bear..."

Under the simple cuffs, An's bandaged hands were clenched a little tighter.

Fragments of memories flashed through her mind, and An would never forget that it was Liz who sacrificed herself to allow her and Alina to escape from the clutches of "that organization", and it was Alina who sacrificed herself again, Only then could she rise from the ashes.

It's a pity that only the legendary phoenix can be reborn from the ashes, safe and sound, and she, she is not a noble phoenix, how could she be.

Bathing in the fire did bring her great strength, but it also made her lose more, whether it was the burning scars on her body that could only be covered up with bandages, or the internal organs that burned several times a day, and...

The friendship, life and future she had finally had were all reduced to ashes. Not only was she unable to avenge her friends, but she became a scapegoat, burdened with infamy. For that illusory chance, she left her home and went to Thousand Islands to find the water god.

But soon.

Perhaps it was because this time when the burning occurred, she was no longer alone in a dark corner. This time when she was eroded by painful memories, there was a wolf cub beside her.

An suddenly felt that her hand, which was clenched into a fist, was pressed by something furry.

Her attention was diverted for an instant. An looked down and saw the concerned gaze from the little wolf cub, and the plush touch was naturally the little wolf cub's head.

"Thank you, Xiao Hei." With such a simple action, An seemed to be healed instantly.

The pain in my chest that was burning like fire seemed to have subsided a lot.

She opened her hands, clenched them into fists, and touched the little wolf cub's head again to signal that she was okay. Then, An stood up from the corner, and then took the little wolf cub for a few steps. , came to her floor.

Yes, floor.

Beds were too luxurious for the coolies on the ground floor.

On the cold floor, they spread it on the ground with tattered blankets that looked like they were picked up from an unknown garbage dump. This was the place where they would rest and sleep for the whole time they were on the ship.

An quickly found a rusty kettle from this small area that belonged to her. After opening the lid, she was about to take a sip, but when the movement stopped in mid-air, An quickly removed the kettle. Put it down.

After rummaging left and right, An finally found another broken small bowl. After that, An poured out more than half of the already pitiful water in the kettle.

"Come on, Xiao Hei, you must have not drank water for a long time. Drink it quickly."

An carefully pushed the small bowl of water in front of the little wolf cub, for fear of spilling it.

The fresh water that can be found everywhere on the mainland is listed as a scarce resource on ships sailing on the ocean. For the lowly coolies, it is even more so and very precious.

"What's wrong? Don't worry, this is not sea water. It's drinkable. It's very clean." An saw that the little wolf cub made no move towards the water bowl. While explaining in words, An pushed the water bowl towards the little wolf cub.

But what Ling An didn't expect was...

The other party's little paw pushed the water bowl back to her again!

And An always seemed to be able to understand the meaning of the cub's eyes as he stared at her.

I'm not thirsty, you drink.

An felt warm in her heart. An didn't know how long she hadn't felt this since she started to escape. She never thought that this feeling would appear again, from a stray puppy.

"Okay, then I'll drink half and you drink half. That's okay."

After An finished speaking, he took the lead in picking up the small bowl with one hand, and with the other hand, he skillfully untied the bandage wrapped around the lower part of his face.

Only then could the little wolf cub truly see An's face hidden under the bandage.

Although An drank water very quickly, it only took a few seconds, and only her chin and lips were exposed.

But even if it was just half of the scene that flashed by, the little wolf cub felt an indescribable... blockage in his heart.

Liao Zixuan stayed with Vivian almost every day, and it could be said that the little girl's appearance was imprinted in his mind.

So when An took off the bandage, Liao Zixuan recognized it at a glance. This face belonged to... Vivian.

But it is precisely because of this that the damage caused by the subsequent scenes to Liao Zixuan will be even greater.

Because the cute chin that was originally supposed to be small and exquisite, with smooth and white skin that made people couldn't help but pinch it in their hands and play with it, was completely unrecognizable at this moment.

The skin was scorched by the flames, and the blood vessels were exposed and turned out, just like the roots of an old tree, ugly and ferocious.

After the passage of time, although most of the wounds have turned into scabs, they are still shocking and look very scary at first glance. No wonder An Hui has been wrapping them with bandages to cover up, otherwise it would not be too much to be regarded as a monster.

"Okay, look, I've already drank it, so you should drink it too!"

The voice from An brought the little wolf cub back from his complicated mood.

Seeing that there was more than half a bowl of water left, even though his body was instinctively dry, but after seeing the scene under the bandage, the little wolf cub was still in the mood to drink water.

"What's wrong! Xiao Hei, since we have agreed upon something, we must complete it well. Drink it quickly!" Seeing that the little wolf cub still didn't move and just stared at the water bowl in a daze, An's tone couldn't help but become a little more serious.

She couldn't stand it anymore, so she grabbed the little wolf cub by the back of its neck, then held the water bowl with her other hand and began to enforce it.

Obviously, Ann is not Vivian, because the little girl would not do such a thing. Different experiences have caused differences in their personalities.

But perhaps, no matter how his personality changes, at least in the current An, there is still a certain original human quality that is highly consistent with the little girl.

"Open your mouth, ah..." An opened the little wolf cub's mouth, and then drank the water.

This also means that she has consumed most of today's water, and she will have no water to drink even if her illness relapses or she does hard labor.

the other side.

Gudu Gudu...

The fresh water flowed down the throat, moisturizing the dry body and bringing a cool feeling, which was very comfortable. However, the expression on the little wolf cub was completely opposite to the feeling coming from the body.

That little brow was so wrinkled that the word "reluctant" was written on it.

Liao Zixuan started to think now.

If he took out the water and various foods he purchased from Yanyu from the backpack space and brought them to An, how should he explain it?

The answer is, there is no explanation, you can’t just rely on cuteness to get by, right?

Even though An seemed to be very kind to him now, this was probably due to the "karma" buff. In fact, Liao Zixuan could feel that An still maintained a vague sense of vigilance.

This was not directed at the little wolf cub, but apparently came from An's experience, which forced her to develop this self-defense habit of being extremely insecure.

Liao Zixuan was afraid that if he did something beyond his non-threatening status as a "stray puppy", An's attitude towards him would change instantly.

When the time comes, let alone being as close as this...

In the first two experiences, An did not hesitate to kill decisively, which left a deep impression on Liao Zixuan.

so...

Why are you like this, always putting others first and not caring more about yourself? Damn it! !

Before Liao Zixuan had finished being angry, An's finger poked the little wolf cub's nose.

at the same time.

An inexplicably familiar snort sounded, followed closely by a dissatisfied grunt from An.

"Huh, what do you mean, Xiao Hei, I don't dislike you, but you actually dislike me! Didn't you just drink the rest of my water? As for showing such a reluctant expression, really, don't look at me like this, but Me, I'm actually very clean..."

this...

The point is completely wrong, okay? !

Such a relaxing and happy time is very expensive and short-lived for An. The remaining energy from the illness emerged, and she returned to the corner and wrapped the blanket around herself.

"Xiao Hei, I'm a little sleepy. Let's sleep for a while. You... remember not to run around, especially not to the place where you started. Do you... understand?"

An's upper and lower eyelids were already fighting, but she still suppressed her tiredness and warned the little wolf cub. After seeing the little wolf cub nod, she closed her eyes with relief.

After a while, An fell into a very light sleep. It could be seen from the wrinkled micro-expressions on her face that An was using sleep to relieve the sting caused by the illness.

Although the little wolf cub feels distressed about this, since he has come into contact with An as a "stray puppy", he can only play this role well first.

Speaking of which, I don’t know if it was a trick of fate.

In the past three days, he had been guarding against An, so he stayed at Vivian's door day and night, but now, he was beside An in her sleep, guarding this girl who had experienced too many things.

in addition...

While An was sleeping, Liao Zixuan could sort out the information he got from An.

The first thing is...

Liao Zixuan looked at the screenshot of the black pancake that An had given him before. Yes, Liao Zixuan, who was cautious at the time, how could he not use the player's detection skills before eating the food An gave him.

But after watching it, it was too strange and I didn’t have time to take a closer look at it, so I saved the screenshot.

【Vivian's Oatmeal Cake】

[Quality: Rare]

[Description: This is something that passed through Vivian's hands and received a negative curse from "Prayer"]

[Effect: Very unpalatable]

You may not be able to tell it by looking at this alone, but if combined with another panel message...

As the cub's and An's affection for each other increased, Liao Zixuan discovered that many of An's unknown messages that showed "???" in her second experience could now be detected.

For example...

What Liao Zixuan cares most about is the special ability that "An" awakened after becoming a witch.

【Prayer】

[Type: Witch Specialty]

[Quality: unique]

[Skill description: Three wishes and a curse, using the method of sacrifice, to obtain powerful power that can reverse everything. The more difficult the wish is to come true, the more serious the random curse will be. On the contrary, the more difficult the wish will be, the more serious the random curse will be.

[Number of prayers made so far: 3]

[Currently acquired curse list:]

[1. Make all food cooked by your hands become extremely unpalatable or contain negative effects. The strength of the negative effects depends on your cooking time]

Little wolf cub: "..."

Once the two are combined, you can understand why that piece of dough looks like that.

We can also understand where the sudden burst of doubling momentum came from when Anzai faced him for the second time.

It can better explain where An got the poison from in his first experience with the way he looked now.

only...

The little wolf cub stepped lightly and got a little closer to the sleeping An.

Even if it was such a slight movement, An's subconscious seemed to be aware of it, but maybe after feeling Xiao Hei's breath, he relaxed again, and even instinctively hugged the furry wolf cub like a pillow. It is attached to a comfortable position on the body.

The little wolf cub took the opportunity to observe An Lai from a closer distance.

after all.

Liao Zixuan remembers it very clearly.

No matter how it is prepared, the food is extremely unpalatable and contains negative effects.

In this case, before Liao Zixuan met An, there was already another person who also had this extremely rare trait.

By the way, it seems that An's weapon is also...

Black sickle?
