You are already in another world and will only return to reality in two days,
"Why?" Fox's Assistance didn't understand at all.
Reiko lowered her eyes,
Her fingers gently moved the cherry blossom cake in the box, "His body is still very weak,
He's not suitable for missions. "
"Just because of this? His body is weak only because he lacks spiritual power. As long as you sign a contract with him, his body will naturally recover.
His body will naturally recover to its peak. Even if he is injured, as long as you put your hand in for him.
He'll recover very quickly! "
"No need." Reiko still insisted, "That child probably doesn't want to go with me now!"
"Why?" Fox's Assistance didn't understand. He saw the two of them protecting each other just now. They were clearly very harmonious,
What exactly...?!!!!
Suddenly..,
The fact that the Five Tigers Retreat had been waiting for Lord Sumino's return flashed through Fox's Assistance's mind,
Even though he had already guessed it..,
He still confirmed with Reiko again, "Lord,
Haven't you told me that the former God Inquisitor of the Five Tigers Retreat is dead,
He won't be coming back anymore, is this matter? "
He had shown her the information back then..,
But it was precisely to make the Fu Mourning God, who still had some expectations, give up and quickly assimilate This Pill..,
Who knew that she didn't say anything at all..,
Then it was no wonder that the Five Tigers Retreat refused to sign a contract with her.
"He doesn't need to know about this... and..." she thought of something,
Reiko paused.
"And what?"
"Nothing!" Reiko raised her head and glanced at him. She shouted in a low voice, "You're not allowed to say it either! Otherwise, see how I'll deal with...?!!!! "
Before Reiko could finish her threat, her expression suddenly changed. She quickly got up and opened the paper door.
With a "Hua" sound, in the corridor next to the room, the youth half-kneeling and leaning against the wall appeared in her line of sight.
The youth's face was pale, and his large golden eyes were bloodshot. He stared blankly ahead, and large drops of tears rolled down Yuanyuan's eyes as he cried silently.
"Little Retreat!!" Reiko's heart clenched and she rushed over. Just as she was about to help him up, her hands were slapped away. The Five Tigers Retreat looked up at her with misty eyes and said word by word, "Don't. Touch. Me!"
His voice was extremely cold, like an icicle under the eaves of a house in the depths of winter, cold and piercing. For a moment, Reiko's entire body turned cold, and she actually froze on the spot.
The manager of the Five Tigers Retreat tilted his head slightly and looked at the panicked Fox's Assistance who came out right after Reiko. Because his legs were weak, he could only stagger up by supporting himself against the wall. Then, he avoided Reiko's outstretched hand and staggered two steps toward Fox's Assistance. "Mr. Fox's Assistance, you're lying, aren't you? My Lord is only leaving temporarily. He will return! She didn't … she didn't … "
He couldn't say the word "die" no matter how hard he tried. The manager of the Five Tigers Retreat was already sobbing and fell to the ground again.
Fox's Assistance knew that he had caused trouble, but he didn't know how to explain. He looked at the manager's pained expression and then looked at Reiko's extremely worried expression. He gritted his teeth and decided to put on a serious expression. He said word by word, "I'm not lying. This is the truth. Lord Sumino is dead. She died the day she left This Pill and returned to the modern world."
"No! I don't believe it! You're lying to me! You're lying to me! "The manager of the Five Tigers Retreat roared, breaking down.
Sensing their master's emotional fluctuations, the little tigers ran from the end to his side and howled anxiously. However, the manager of the Five Tigers Retreat didn't respond to them. Instead, he stared at Fox's Assistance with tears in his eyes. "Speak clearly!"
The atmosphere instantly froze. Fox's Assistance opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to respond. He could reveal some things, but there were some things that he couldn't say … Or rather, he absolutely couldn't say them out loud.
Therefore, another person in the room spoke up.
"Little Retreat, your Lord Sumino is indeed dead."
"No! I don't … "The manager of the Five Tigers Retreat turned his head abruptly and stared at Reiko, who had been treating him gently, as if he couldn't believe it. However, the determination and certainty in her amber eyes collided heavily with the protective shell that he erected.
His heart trembled. The Five Tigers Retreat lowered his head in panic. It was as if he was in the middle of winter and his entire body was cold.
Reiko looked at the way he was trying to escape. How could she not understand what was going on? Her guess was confirmed at this moment.
Actually, she didn't care if the Five Tigers Retreat accepted her or not. However, she couldn't bear to see such a cute and kind child restrict his freedom.
He deserved to be loved. No matter if it was her or Cheng Ye, they both thought so.
Therefore, no matter how cruel the process was, she had to do it.
Hearing her footsteps getting closer and closer, the manager of the Five Tigers Retreat seemed to have sensed something. He hugged his trembling body and subconsciously shrank back.
Reiko knelt on one knee in front of him and called out softly, "Little Retreat …"
"No, don't come over …" The Five Tigers Retreat pleaded with a sobbing voice.
"Little Retreat, you know about this, right?"
"No … I don't know anything! Please, don't say anything else! "
"Lord Xia Mu?" Fox's Assistance seemed to have sensed that something was wrong.
Reiko knew that this was cruel, but since she had already started, she could only choose to continue.
"Little Retreat, you've been running away for long enough …" Reiko's warm palm gently rubbed his white hair. Then, she slid down and lifted his lowered head. Looking at the little face that was already covered in tears, she said the cruelest part.
"Your Lord Sumino is dead … You knew about this a long time ago, didn't you?"
"W-what?!" Fox's Assistance's eyes instantly widened.
"I-I … don't know … anything … Ugh … Wah …"
The illusion that he had created for himself for a long time was instantly exposed and shattered into pieces. His anger and grief gathered together and turned into a broken cry that resounded throughout This Pill.
"Little Retreat … It's time for you to accept reality."
…
The Five Tigers Retreat didn't know how he left that place. When he returned to his small room, he locked himself in and hugged his knees as he sat in the corner. Fox's Assistance and Reiko's words kept echoing in his mind.
"Lord Sumino is dead."
"He died the day he returned to the modern world."
"You should have known about this a long time ago, right?"
"It's time for you to accept reality."
Tears flowed down along the dried tear stains again.
Yes, he actually knew that Lord Sumino was dead a long time ago. He had been lying to himself all this time.
Lord Sumino had been in charge of This Pill for a total of ten years. As the first knife of This Pill, he had always been very favored. Even the first knife couldn't compare to the first knife, Jia Zhou Palace. He was often the one who accompanied Lord Sumino as his personal attendant. So three years ago, when Lord Sumino's body had problems, he was the first to notice.
Because she had always been careless, they didn't notice when she fell on flat ground more often. It wasn't until he noticed that she seemed to be unable to control her limbs occasionally. Afraid that others would be worried, Lord Sumino told him not to tell the other Fu Mourning God. She also told him to return to the modern world to see a doctor as soon as possible.
That time, Lord Sumino returned from the modern world after almost a month. She told him that she was indeed sick, but she had been cured by the doctor.
He was relieved. He never thought that Lord Sumino, who never lied, would lie to him. He didn't know how she did it. She didn't show any symptoms of being sick, but slowly, she stopped eating with them. She used the excuse of having family matters in the modern world as an excuse to return home more and more often. The time she spent in This Pill became shorter and shorter. In the last year, she only came back once a week. Every time she came, she hurriedly arranged things and left.
Because they never thought that she would lie, everyone felt guilty and blamed themselves for not being able to help her share the burden in the modern world. However, they didn't realize that she was sick. A very serious illness.
Until the day she left This Pill forever. That night, his little tiger seemed to have felt something and secretly ran out. When he went out to look for it, he happened to see her leaving under the cover of the night.
He realized that something was wrong and ran over to ask. In the end, he was knocked unconscious by her spiritual power. However, probably because she was already at the end of her rope, she didn't use much strength, so he quickly regained consciousness … In a daze, he felt her warm hand caressing his head again and again. He heard her crying and apologizing, saying that she was sick and was about to die, so she couldn't stay any longer.
He wanted to wake up, but he couldn't open his eyes. When he woke up again, she had already left.
Everyone thought that she just went home. Because she was in a hurry, she didn't have time to say goodbye. He also hoped that was the case. However, his hope was shattered the next day. Fox's Assistance came to tell them that Lord Sumino had resigned from his job as the God's Inquisitor. The Government of the Hour would find a new God's Inquisitor as soon as possible.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't understand why the girl who smiled at them yesterday suddenly left. When they asked Fox's Assistance, Fox's Assistance only said that it was because of Lord Sumino's personal reasons.
There were many times when he wanted to open his mouth and tell everyone what he heard that night. However, when he saw that his brothers were still confident that she was only delayed by something and would come back sooner or later, he didn't dare to say it. He didn't dare to say that she was about to die or that she might have already died.
Later, Fox's Assistance said that the new God's Inquisitor who would take over This Pill never came, and My Lord didn't come back either. His companions and the various Highnesses couldn't maintain their human forms because of the exhaustion of their spiritual power. They gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Unknowingly, only he and his little tiger were left. He knew that before Lord Sumino left, he had instilled all of his remaining spiritual power into him. That was why he could hold on until the end.
But how could a person persevere without hope? So he kept lying to himself. What he heard that night was a dream. My Lord couldn't take care of This Pill because of matters in the Modern World. Once she was done, she would definitely come back …
However, the lie he weaved was like a bubble. With a "pa" sound, she fiercely burst it.
Reiko replied with a bright and proud smile. The Five Tigers Retreat was so angry that Jin Doudou almost fainted from anger.
Since the Five Tigers Retreat and the little tiger's body were still recovering, Reiko went to the small storage room in the cellar to find a chicken and some medicinal herbs to stew together.
When she smelled the rich aroma of the medicinal herbs and chicken, Reiko was momentarily absent-minded. A memory flashed through her mind. It seemed that she had once stewed this kind of food for someone who wasn't in good health … Who was that person?
Before she could think about it, the little tiger beside her smelled the aroma of the meat and started howling. Reiko turned around and saw the little tiger drooling at the pot. She couldn't help but laugh. The trace of sadness from before was thrown to the back of her mind.
Stroking the little tiger's furry head, Reiko smiled and said, "Okay, wait a little longer. I'll give you special treatment later, but you have to leave the chicken drumstick for your master."
Yes, children should like to eat chicken drumsticks …
She didn't know if the little tiger understood, but it kept rubbing against her like a well-behaved kitten. Reiko couldn't stop laughing.
When Reiko went to call people to eat, the Five Tigers Retreat had just finished washing the clothes that she disliked and was drying them. She got up early in the morning to set up the drying pole in the courtyard. It was just right for her, but a little too tall for the Five Tigers Retreat.
Reiko chuckled silently as she watched him tip-toe to reach the pole with difficulty. She walked behind him and gently lifted the clothes in his hands and put them on the pole. The startled Five Tigers Retreat instantly trembled. They retreated in a panic and bumped into her arms.
The Five Tigers Retreat stiffened when he felt the soft touch on his back and smelled the rich fragrance of plants on his nose. His face suddenly turned red and quickly spread to his ears.
Reiko looked down and saw his furry head. She instinctively reached out to rub it and said gently, "Let's go eat first. We'll cook the rest later!"
"Pa!" Wu Hu retreated and covered his head as he jumped several feet away. He even almost flipped the clothes on the drying pole over. His face and neck were red as he stared at her. "I, I don't want to eat!"
Tsk, here we go again.
Reiko retracted her reddened hand and looked at him meaningfully. "It's fine if you don't want to eat … Little tigers, come!" She waved at the four little tigers on the ground. The four little tigers immediately abandoned their master and walked to her feet.
"Xiaohu!" The Five Tigers Retreat shouted anxiously, but they didn't dare to go forward. The little tigers looked at him strangely, then turned their heads and intimately rubbed against Reiko's calf. She smelled so good. It smelled like meat.
"Good boys. Let's go and eat meat with Big Sister!" Reiko smiled. She didn't feel like a fake teenage girl taking advantage of the little tigers at all. She narrowed her eyes and looked back at the Five Tigers Retreat. The Five Tigers Retreat, who were about to rush over, froze again in fear. "If you don't listen to me, hmm …"
Her unfinished words were full of threats. The pink on the Five Tigers Retreat's face disappeared instantly. Looking at her back, they finally stomped their feet with tears in their eyes and chased after her.
