In the lonely castle, Anke hugged her knees and sat in the corner of the room. Darkness swept around her and she merged into the darkness. She felt really comfortable.
She didn't dare to sleep. Once she did, a giant abyss would sweep over and trap her in such that she wouldn't be able to break free.
The abyss was like the mouth of a giant beast. It was really terrifying and Anke was afraid.
This dream was born when her father said that she was a stranger.
On that day, Anke suffered a huge blow. Along with the painful memories from when she was young, all of them exploded out.
No one knew what Anke had gone through that day.
She knew, but she sealed that memory with her own hands.
Anke, who had no cultivation at all, was weak in the eyes of others. It was just that she had a Celestial King Realm father and was reborn well.
But she could easily control her own soul and lock it up. She locked up a memory that she didn't want to remember.
An ordinary person, locked in a terrifying memory, silently waiting for death.
If the Bank of the Universe's watch didn't come, she wouldn't have any hope in her life.
Her death was approaching day by day, and death was approaching her day by day.
Each day, she would see it take a step closer.
Now, they were just a dozen steps away.
These dozen steps were her last bit of time in Anke's eyes.
She didn't panic and she wasn't afraid. She just looked on calmly.
"You aren't as scary as the abyss and you aren't as scary as my memory. You are here to save me, to save me from this bitter ocean." Anke's green eyes changed and were dyed red. Her black pupils turned into a six-pointed star that was mixed with green.
Her understanding of death was really special.
Death wasn't here to end her but to save her.
"Unfortunately, I don't want anyone to save me. I want to continue walking through this bitter ocean." Anke used her six-pointed star eyes to look at death that others couldn't see and said calmly.
Rumble!
At that moment, the Bank of the Universe's welcoming team arrived.
Four of them wore black robes and a mask with a word written on it.
God! Earth! Money! Bank!
The words on the masks of the four black-clothed men added together formed the complete Bank of the Universe.
Four black-clothed men carried a red palanquin that was extremely eye-catching. In the darkness, it exuded a demonic aura. They came to Anke's room and stopped. They opened the palanquin door and waited for Anke.
Anker stood up and waved her hand at death. She said softly, "All these years, I can see you every day. I'm very happy to be friends with you. As a friend, although you want to save me, I don't want to die yet. We will meet again if fate wills it."
All these years, An Ke had been curled up in a corner. Her only friend was death, who had come to take her life.
If word of this got out, others would definitely think that Anker had gone crazy. How could he be able to see his death? They even became friends?
Even a Celestial King would not be able to do that.
But An Ke did it. Her only friend was death.
She suffered every day, sinking into this world. Death wanted to save her, wanted to take her away to a new world and obtain eternal life.
But An Ke didn't agree and still boarded the Bank of the Universe's carriage.
The red curtains were pulled down and the four black-clothed men lifted the carriage. They stepped on the clouds and disappeared from the room.
At that moment, the darkness in the room retreated. Moonlight shone in and the room was really bright.
Death was gone.
….
Bank of the Universe, Trading Hall. Li Xiandao was still waiting.
He had no idea what kind of guest he was receiving. Even Seven didn't know much about An Ke's matter.
No one knew about being friends with death.
Seven, who was treated as a stranger by her father, didn't know either. As An Ke didn't see Li Xiandao, Seven's investigation of her was just on the surface.
When the four black-clothed men carried An Ke over, Li Xiandao asked Seven, "Where did you find these four black-clothed men?"
"It was the Bank of the Universe's welcoming team but it was pawned. I used top grade Celestial Crystals to redeem it and didn't inform you. The main thing is to send those five guests back and I can't just send them away. I don't have the ability to just wave my sleeves and turn them into dust and disappear from the Bank of the Universe." Seven said.
He waved his sleeves and the guest returned to his original spot. Only Li Xiandao knew how to do this. This was the ability of the Bank of the Universe's Master.
Li Xiandao was satisfied, "You have to redeem them sooner or later. You have done well. We will work hard to redeem more things."
Seven smiled and her eyes turned into the shape of a moon.
At that moment, the black-clothed men carried An Ke to the Trading Hall and waited for her to come down.
When An Ke came down, the black-clothed men carried the carriage and disappeared.
An Ke looked at them and didn't say a word. She just walked into the Trading Hall.
This time, she met Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao also met An Ke. This brat who wanted to extract her bloodline, be it from her father or mother, she didn't want it.
This was the first time Li Xiandao had seen a beauty with pointy ears.
Anker deserved to be called a beauty.
She gave off a weak aura and her face was ashen white. Her skin was really white, like a person who lacked blood and didn't see sunlight for a long time.
This was originally a weakness.
But in the contrast of her face, it became a strength.
With that face, all weaknesses would become strengths.
"Greetings, Bank Master!" An Ke said carefully. She hadn't spoken much to strangers before. She wasn't good at conversing and was introverted. But she knew that she had to greet Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao looked at An Ke and said, "Welcome guest, what do you want to trade?"
An Ke lowered his head and said, "Take away my bloodline."
"Be it from my father or mother, I don't want any of it." An Ke added.
Speaking of her father or mother, An Ke didn't hate anyone.
Would she hate a stranger?
He was cold to his father, indifferent to the extreme, as if they were strangers.
Hate? That was overestimating An Ke's reliance on her parents.
Like what her father told her brother, don't talk to strangers.
An Ke wouldn't be angry at strangers and wouldn't hate strangers.
"No problem, but what price can you pay?" Li Xiandao asked curiously.
"I can do three things for you." An Ke thought about it and said seriously.
Li Xiandao looked at An Ke and didn't know what to say. Was that even possible?
You're just a girl who doesn't even have the strength to truss a chicken, and you want to do three things for me?
That was a little funny.
If not for her being so weak, he would have chased her out right away.
Li Xiandao wanted to rage but Seven's expression changed. She pulled Li Xiandao and told him what she saw.
The last time An Ke came, Li Xiandao wasn't here. Seven did a simple investigation on her and didn't know much.
Just now, An Ke came in and talked to Li Xiandao. Seven was bored and started to investigate An Ke.
This investigation shocked Seven and she told Li Xiandao right away.
Li Xiandao looked at An Ke solemnly.
This brat was really unexpected. Li Xiandao suddenly felt that the three things she said weren't nonsense.
Li Xiandao was the one who took advantage of her.
