Before the subscription reaches 70%, you are already in a different world.
You will only return to reality in two days.
"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 to its peak. Even if he is injured, as long as you put your hand in for him,
He will recover very quickly! "
"No need." Reiko still insisted. "That child probably doesn't want to go with me now!"
"Why?" Fox's Assistance was puzzled.
He had just seen the way the two of them protected each other.
They were clearly very harmonious.
What on earth...?!!!!
Suddenly, the fact that the Five Tigers Retreat had been waiting for Lord Sumino's return flashed through Fox's Assistance's mind.
Although he had guessed correctly, he still confirmed with Reiko.
"Sir, haven't you told the Five Tigers Retreat that the former God's Inquisitor is dead and will never return?"
He had shown her the information back then.
But it was precisely because he wanted to use her to make the zombies who still had some expectations give up.
This Pill quickly. Who knew that she didn't say anything at all? No wonder the Five Tigers Retreat refused to sign a contract with her.
"He doesn't need to know about this... and..." Reiko paused as she thought of something.
"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 whoosh, the youth who was half-kneeling and leaning against the wall in the corridor next to the room appeared in her line of sight.
The youth's face was pale, and his large golden eyes were bloodshot. He stared blankly ahead. Large 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. He died the day he 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 in despair.
Sensing their master's emotional fluctuations, the cubs 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. "Explain it 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 how he was trying to escape. How could she not understand what was going on? What she had always guessed 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 himself so tightly.
He deserved to be loved. Whether it was her or Cheng Ye, they both thought so.
Therefore, even if the process was cruel, she still 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 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 already 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. Anger and sorrow 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 already dead."
"He was already dead on 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 already dead. 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 by Lord Sumino's side as a 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, even if the frequency of her falling on flat ground increased, they didn't notice. 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 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 illness usually, 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 would hurriedly arrange things and leave.
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, very sick.
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 and didn't say goodbye because she was in a hurry. He also hoped that was the case. However, his hope was shattered the next day. Fox's Assistance came over 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 his remaining spiritual power into him. That was why he could hold on until the end.
However, how could a person persevere without hope? Therefore, he kept lying to himself. What he heard that night was a dream. My Lord was only unable to take care of This Pill because of the Modern World. Once she was done, she would definitely come back …
However, the lies he weaved were like bubbles. With a "pop" sound, he was ruthlessly punctured by her.
Seeing Fox's Assistance's pitiful appearance, the Five Tigers Retreat couldn't bear to see him like this. They observed Reiko's expression and carefully picked up a piece of chicken breast and handed it to Fox's Assistance.
Hu Zhizhu's eyes lit up. He said thank you in a small voice, and then he swallowed the meat and bones into his stomach with a crunching sound.
During this time, Reiko didn't say anything. The Five Tigers Retreat continued to pick up a few more pieces. Seeing that he didn't eat much himself and gave all of it to Fox's Assistance's little stomach, Reiko helplessly blocked his chopsticks and said in a low voice, "Eat more yourself. You eat so little. Even the little tiger eats more than you. No wonder people think that I'm abusing you!"
The Five Tigers Retreat was stunned.
Fox's Assistance immediately realized that she was talking about him. He flattered, "Aiya, Lord Xia Mu, I already said that the inquisitor framed you. No one would say that." Then, he looked at the Five Tigers Retreat with a serious expression. "The Lord Xia Mu is right. Five Tigers Retreat, you're too thin. You should eat more to nourish yourself."
"…" The Five Tigers Retreat opened their mouths. They didn't know what to say to the thick-skinned Fox's Assistance. They could only nod and say in a barely audible voice, "I understand."
Seeing that he was eating obediently, Reiko picked up some more meat for him. Then, she put down her chopsticks and looked at Fox's Assistance, who was smacking his lips in envy. "Let's go."
"Huh?"
"Don't you have something to say?" As she spoke, Lingzi bent down to pick him up and hold him in her arms. She looked at Wu Hutui, who was in a daze, and said, "Go and have a rest after eating. I'll clean up the dishes later."
"Mm, okay." The Five Tigers Retreat responded. However, the moment she turned around, he said, "Wait! Mr. Fox's Assistance … "
Fox's Assistance froze. Was he still going to ask? What should he do? Was he going to say something if he asked? Had the Lord Xia Mu mentioned it in front of the Five Tigers Retreat?
"I …" The Five Tigers Retreat's leader opened his mouth, but he happened to meet Reiko's gentle and bright eyes. He immediately swallowed the words he wanted to say. "No, nothing. I'll make tea for you!"
Fox Protector immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Lingzi glanced at him doubtfully and ordered, "Don't worry. You can do it after you finish the meal!"
"Mm …"
