Finally, they were safe. Linnai found a place where there were no Darkspirits. It was on a cliff, and there was an inconspicuous crevice. Linnai and the girl built a temporary camp there.
The bonfire did not emit any smoke, because Reina made a stove with stones and used magic to squeeze the water out of the wood. At this time, she realized how important the black stone was. It did not emit any smoke or smell when it was on fire, but wood could not.
The little girl sat hugging her knees, curling up beside the bonfire, with her back against the rock. Under her messy hair, her restless eyes drifted. She glanced at Reina from time to time, and then looked at the bonfire. To be precise, the meat skewers on the bonfire were sizzling and emitting a tempting smell.
"No, it's not cooked yet."
Just when the little girl could not help but reach out her hand, Reina suddenly said. She immediately withdrew her hand, because if she did not do so, she would hear a slap in the next second, and a burning pain would come from the back of her hand. Her emotions were reflected in her feet that were standing on the sand, and her white toes were tightly contracted.
She had no shoes or clothes. Reina had lent her a jacket, but she couldn't do anything about shoes.
Reina did not have extra shoes, and she was reluctant to give her black boots to the little girl. She could only use her rough needlework skills to make a pair of animal skin cloth shoes, but things were far more difficult than she thought. In order to prevent her fingers from being pricked by needles, she used magic to strengthen her fingers, but accidentally bent the needles.
Not knowing when, the little girl seemed to have calmed down. She liked such a small environment, and now she was staring at Reina.
"I've seen you."
She suddenly said.
Hearing this, Reina stopped what she was doing and looked up at her.
"When?"
The little girl did not answer this question. Perhaps she wanted to maintain a sense of mystery, but her expression betrayed her. She pretended to be calm, but her head could not help but nod up and down.
"You're lying. You haven't seen me. You don't even know my name."
"I'm not lying. I've seen you before, and you're very afraid of me. You'd better let me go."
Reina chuckled.
"Really? What if I don't? "
The little girl's eyes glistened with tears, but she still pretended to be tough. She pouted and said, "You'll regret it."
Hearing this, Reina stopped what she was doing. She realized that she could not complete such a task at all. After thinking about it, she decided to forget about it. If she wore shoes, she might run away. It was better not to wear them.
At this moment, she saw the little girl swallowing her saliva and glancing at the meat skewers from time to time.
This was the only cooking method that Reina was good at, and she was quite confident in it. Under the roasting of the fire, the skin of the meat skewers became crispy. If it was cooked any longer, it would become dry and hard.
"What's your name?"
Reina asked as she picked up the skewer and placed it on a plate made of ice.
The little girl was silent and did not say anything. Her eyes were fixed on the food on the plate. Linnai thought of a way to make her speak. Linnai picked up a skewer of meat and waved it in front of her. In an instant, the little girl actually took a bite, but Linnai's actions were faster.
"If you want to eat, then answer my question."
She said as she pushed the plate away.
The little girl glared at her angrily. Her expression and expression were very similar to a mother queen. Reina's back couldn't help but shiver. She hoped that this girl would not become like that in the future.
However, she did not take any further action and only stared at Reina. Reina shook the skewer and teased her.
"What? Aren't you hungry? "
She took a bite and realized that it was a bit overcooked, but she still pretended to be delicious.
The little girl was silent the entire time. At this moment, a dark cloud floated across the sky, covering the moon. A shadow covered her face, and her yellow eyes actually emitted a green light in the dark night.
She was a dangerous person, and Reina did not dare to be careless. Suddenly, she sensed something and immediately looked down. She only saw a white thread reflecting the light. Reina frowned and an arc of electricity appeared on her forehead. The electricity spread out in all directions, and after a few crackling sounds, the white spider silk floated down like snow.
This spider silk was extremely strong and was even sharper than a knife. If Reina had not noticed it, she might have attacked and cut her into several pieces. This girl looked like a harmless child, but in reality, she was much more dangerous than a scourge.
Suddenly, Linnai stabbed the wooden skewer with the meat in her hand into the little girl's mouth. The little girl's mouth was wide open as she straightened her back and looked at Linnai in shock.
"If you think I won't kill you, then you are gravely mistaken. You still don't understand your situation, so let me tell you. You are in my hands, and I can decide your life and death. If you don't want to die, then obediently do as I say. Do you understand?"
Ling Nai coldly asked. The little girl nodded her head. She had a frightened look on her face. Coupled with her disappointing saliva, she looked very pitiful.
"Answer my first question. What is your name?"
"Mu … Empress, my name is Empress Empress."
She finally answered the question, although Reina did not like the answer.
"Eat, this is your reward, but this is not your name. This is not a name, it is a title, just like a king or a hero. Do you understand?"
Reina let go of her hand. Although she was scared, her appetite overcame her fear, and the little girl immediately grabbed the skewer and gnawed on it.
Looking at this little girl, Reina was sure that she had a close relationship with the dangerous girl who called herself Empress Empress.
"Don't you have any other name? What do the others call you? "
Reina looked at her and asked. The burnt meat did not survive for more than two seconds in the little girl's mouth before it disappeared. Reina took another skewer.
"Empress Empress."
She answered again, but Reina was a little dissatisfied. But in order to reward her for answering the question, she still rewarded the little girl with the food in her hand.
"Then I will pretend that you don't have any other name. Perhaps your race does not have the concept of names at all."
Lena had encountered such a demon before, a frog race. Their names were all 'croak'. Outsiders simply couldn't tell who was who from their voices, but they were able to tell who was calling out to them from their croaks.
Perhaps she was the same.
But Reina could not. She could not keep calling the little girl 'hey', so she had to give her a name that was easier to pronounce.
"Then I will call you Bai Ling. From today onwards, when I call you Bai Ling, you have to respond. Do you understand?"
Although unwilling, the little girl nodded reluctantly under the pressure of the other party's fists and food.
"Very good, Bai Ling. I still have a lot of things to ask you. If you want to eat more, then answer honestly."
As Reina spoke, she seemed to remember something from the past. She seemed to have been treated like this before.
