Alice's cries were blown by the night wind and drifted far and wide across the vast grassland.
Gradually, the setting sun completely disappeared below the horizon and the dreamy orange light was swallowed up by the dark blue night. In an instant, only Alice's mournful cries remained in the grassland.
The more a person forced a smile, the more unforgettable the grief in their heart.
Lu Ze reached out his hand, wanting to pat Alice's head on his shoulder and comfort her.
In the end, his hand stopped in mid-air and didn't come down.
He slowly withdrew his hand and looked at the dark blue night sky, listening to Alice's cries in silence.
A moment later, Alice seemed to be tired from crying and her voice gradually became weaker.
She had just suffered a backlash from the Origin Flame yesterday and hadn't fully recovered yet. Crying like this made her feel tired again.
As Alice's cries completely stopped, the atmosphere became silent.
A moment later, she suddenly raised her head and wiped her tears. She stuck her tongue out at Lu Ze and giggled. "Hehe, thank you for your shoulder, senior. I've been holding it in for too long. I feel much better now!"
"It's all senior's fault. We had too much fun today and I blurted it out. Senior, don't tell Ali, okay? She'll definitely feel terrible. "
Hearing Alice's words, Lu Ze was speechless and smiled. Lu Li had been worried since last night, okay?
However, he still didn't plan on telling Alice about this.
Lu Ze smiled and said, "Alice, you said that you need energy to awaken the Origin Flame, right?"
"That's right. The energy level requirement is quite high. If it's just normal energy, we humans can still find it."
Alice was wrapped in a blanket, only revealing her small head. She fell to the ground and looked up at the night sky.
Lu Ze reached out his hand and a faint red orb of light appeared in his hand. It emitted a gentle red glow under the night sky.
He looked at Alice and said, "Alice, can you take a look at this?"
The energy level of the little ball of light shouldn't be low. After all, it could help him complete his Body Refinement Realm. If the quality of the energy wasn't high, it wouldn't be able to do this.
This girl was a little chef. She had made so many delicious dishes for him. He had to repay her.
Moreover, Lu Li was also worried about her. After all, he was Lu Li's brother. If he could help, of course he would help her.
Moreover, he was her senior. It was only right for him to give her some help.
… Alright, all of the above was bullshit.
In the end, he still didn't want Alice to suffer a backlash.
Such a girl should just smile foolishly.
Crying doesn't suit her.
The moment Lu Ze took out the small Light Orb, Alice, who was originally lying on the ground, suddenly sat up like a cat with its hair standing on end.
Her eyes widened as she stared at the faint red orb of light in Lu Ze's hand. The blue flames in her eyes flickered slightly.
Then, she looked at Lu Ze with some surprise and said, "Senior, this is useful!"
When Lu Ze heard this, he let out a sigh of relief.
It was good that it was useful. If it wasn't, then he wouldn't be able to help.
He grinned and handed the orb of light to Alice. "Then you can use it."
Alice glanced at Lu Ze with some hesitation. In the end, she bit her lower lip and accepted it. "Senior … … Even though this isn't an Origin Substance and I don't know what kind of energy it is, the energy that can awaken an Origin Substance flame is very precious … … Are you really going to give it to me?"
Even though she didn't know how Lu Ze had obtained this kind of energy, Lu Ze had actually given it to her without any hesitation. Her emotions were extremely complicated. Her heart was beating like the morning bell, and her chest hurt a little. At the same time, she felt a sense of sourness surround her.
Lu Zewei smiled as he looked at her. "Alice, you've made so much delicious food for me. As your senior, you can't shamelessly eat it and not pay for it, right?"
Alice looked at Lu Ze, and the corners of her mouth curled upwards as she laughed.
Even though Lu Ze's reason was very far-fetched, she chose to accept it.
She reached out and took the faint red orb of light. She sat down cross-legged, opened her small red mouth, and swallowed the orb of light.
Almost instantly, a faint blue light began to slowly swim around her body. No flames seeped out, but the temperature in the air began to rise by a few degrees, and the air began to heat up.
After a few minutes, Alice opened her eyes. Her originally pale face was now a bit rosy.
Lu Ze looked at Alice and asked, "How is it?"
Alice smiled faintly. "It's effective … but the energy is too little. I awakened a little more, and the backlash time was pushed back a little … I'm sorry, senior … it's rare to have such a precious …"
Alice was somewhat disappointed as she apologized to Lu Ze. Before she could finish, her eyes widened, and she looked at Lu Ze in disbelief as another orb of light appeared in his hand.
Lu Ze smiled as he looked at Alice, whose eyes were wide open and her small mouth agape. "Let's continue."
Since it was effective, then he must save this junior!
Alice's eyes flickered, and she looked at Lu Ze with a complicated expression. Seeing his resolute gaze, she didn't say anything. She just smiled at him, took the orb of light, and swallowed it again.
A few minutes later.
"Continue!"
A few more minutes passed.
"Again!"
… …
A few hours later, the originally dark blue night sky became like a dark black curtain. The stars seemed to decorate the curtain, sprinkling silver light.
Alice had already used nearly fifty orbs of light.
However, Lu Ze had thousands of these orbs of light. After all, they were only dropped by the large white rabbit, so there was no need for him to not have them.
After opening her eyes again, Alice looked at Lu Ze with a smile. "Senior, it's about time for today."
Lu Ze blinked. "So fast? The Theurgy has already awakened? "
When Alice heard this, her smile froze, and she shook her head. "How can it be so fast? The awakening of the Origin Flame also needs to be done step by step. Originally, this was the energy I used when I was five years old. The Theurgy has just begun to awaken."
Then, she looked at Lu Ze with a smile. "However, even if it's like this, my backlash can be delayed for at least a year."
When Lu Ze heard Alice's words, he rubbed his chin. "In other words, you need to use around fifty of them every day? No problem, you'll have more every day. "
When Alice heard this, her body trembled, and she looked at Lu Ze with wide eyes. "Senior, you have more?"
Lu Zewei smiled. "This is the first Innate Skill I awakened. I can produce some of this energy every day. Right now, it should be enough for you to use for a while."
When Alice heard this, she bit her lower lip and lowered her head slightly, tears flashing in her eyes. "… Senior, I'm a bottomless pit. I'll drag you down …"
Senior, why are you so good to me?
This isn't fair …
Father too …
Mother too …
Ancestor too …
It was the same for the experts of the human race.
This isn't fair.
Lu Ze looked at Alice, who had her head lowered and her heart heavy. He smiled and said, "Alice, look into my eyes and tell me: Do you want it? Do you want to live? "
When Alice heard this, she was slightly taken aback and lowered her head in silence.
After a moment, she raised her head and looked straight into Lu Ze's eyes. Her eyes flashed with determination. "I want it!"
Lu Ze grinned. "That's good. Leave the rest to me."
The silver light of the stars poured down in torrents. When Alice saw Lu Ze's smile, a radiant smile slowly appeared on her face again.
She stood up and walked lightly over to Lu Ze. She giggled and said, "Senior, my name is Alice, Alice Hephaestus. I'm seventeen years old this year. My hobbies are cooking and playing the piano. I hate bitter tastes. I'm afraid of pain, afraid of the dark, and afraid of being alone. The thing I'm best at is smiling ~ My biggest dream is to live happily with my family and repay everyone's kindness …"
Under the starlight, on the grassland, Alice looked at Lu Ze with a smile and told him everything about herself.
In the end, she looked straight into Lu Ze's eyes.
"… This way, I, Alice Hephaestos, won't have any secrets left for you, senior schoolmate."
Lu Ze opened his mouth. The starlight sprinkled on Alice, coating her with a layer of silver light. When the night wind blew, the faint fragrance of her body mixed with the smell of grass flowed into his nose. He was a little stunned and didn't know what to say at this time.
