Chapter 233 Let me make it clear first, this will cost extra.

Ai Wanxin was just considering taking the dagger away when she heard Sheng Xiuming continue, "Where is he? After he got the things back yesterday, he disappeared. Where did he go?"

The tip of her ears twitched slightly. Was it the person who took away the remains of the Frozen Nebula yesterday?

"We don't know each other, why are you asking me?" the woman shrugged and said.

"Then let me ask you, when can you do what you promised me?"

"Ah~" The woman seemed to be suddenly interested, "If you are willing to dedicate yourself to me, I can not only make you stand up, but also grant you eternal life."

"Becoming a monster that is neither human nor ghost?" Sheng Xiuming sneered, "You don't think I'm as foolish and gullible as those idiots who cling to the dead, do you?"

"How can you say that~?" The woman raised her slender hand, whose flesh was constantly festering and regenerating, and stared at it carefully. "Isn't it because humans find it difficult to give up family, friendship, and love, these illusory and useless things, that they are weak but inexplicably charming?"

"They are so charming, yet you still treat them as food?" Sheng Xiuming said mercilessly.

"That's of course because you indulge me, Lord City Lord~" The woman smiled softly with her hands covering her lips.

"Stop talking nonsense. My patience has reached its limit. If you don't fulfill your promise and let me stand up again, I will stick that dagger into your brain."

"It should be useful. After all, it can summon you out of the land of evil spirits, cut off the curse on your body, and even make you unable to hurt me." Sheng Xiuming's eyes were like ice, coldly nailing on the woman's face through his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Witch, Lilith."

?

WTF?

Ai Wanxin pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what they were saying, but suddenly her waist felt tight and she was hugged by Jing's long and strong arms.

Her eyes went dark, and when she could see clearly again, she was in a messy and dim room.

The smell of moldy wood and damp soil rushed into Ai Wanxin's nose. She couldn't help but sneeze. Her body swayed slightly and bumped into Jing's strong and tight arms.

She struggled and said helplessly: "Why did you leave? I still have things to do, and I haven't finished listening to you. You are so worried about me."

Jing let go of her hand and let her stand up, and said pitifully: "Sister, it was because my energy field fluctuated abnormally just now, and I was afraid of being exposed, so I brought you out in a hurry..."

"Forget it, I have something to do. You can play by yourself." Ai Wanxin wrapped the towel around her again, looked around the room which looked like a basement, and began to look around for an exit.

Jing followed her closely, like a dog following her footsteps: "Sister, there is martial law outside now. You can't go far if you go out like this."

Ai Wanxin then remembered what Xiao Pu said, that the old city was under martial law because the resurrection ceremony was about to be held.

If you want to get around without being seen, it's best to be invisible...

Jing looked at Ai Wanxin with a smile and then fixed his gaze on his face again.

"Sister, I can go wherever you want to go with you." He took Ai Wanxin's hand and held it in his palm again, "But after this is over, can you please not abandon me and let me go with you?"

Why does this sound so familiar?

"Why? Don't you have your own things to do?" Ai Wanxin asked curiously.

"Sister, to be honest with you, when we first met, I was on a mission, but I failed."

"After my companions rescued me, the team leader asked me to take full responsibility for the failure of this mission."

"And the punishment for mission failure is annihilation." Jing said aggrievedly, lowering his beautiful emerald eyes.

"I have completed so many dangerous missions and never fought for any credit, but he seems to be never satisfied and always takes on the most difficult and tiring tasks and throws them to me."

“Like this mission, which was rated as extremely dangerous by the organization and the recommended measure was a strong attack, but he took it and asked me to complete it alone.

"I was tortured by Kang Baibo. If I hadn't met you, not only would my face be ruined, but I wouldn't have been able to return alive."

"After escaping death with great difficulty, he still wanted to kill me."

"I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I left the organization and escaped. If you leave the organization without permission, you will be put on their strangulation list."

"Sister, you don't know that their organization is very powerful. I'm on their stranglehold list, so I basically have no place to stand in Yan Country."

"I haven't slept for the past two days. I've been running around all the time. After thinking about it, I feel that you are the only safe person in the world. So, sister, can you take me in? I don't have any other relatives..."

Ai Wanxin had reasonable doubts. Given Jing's ability, his claim that he couldn't sleep for two days because of being chased was pure fabrication.

But Jing's words made her vaguely recall the past three years of exhaustion and helplessness. Putting herself in his shoes, she realized that Jing had indeed been wronged.

but......

"I stole your mission, don't you hate me?"

Jing shook her head: "Sister, my mission failed before you showed up. If it weren't for you, I would have died there silently. How could I hate you?"

"Okay." Ai Wanxin accepted his words, "Then tell me, what is the organization you are talking about, and what is the mission?"

"It's a mercenary organization called the Blue Fox Corps. They can do anything as long as the price is high enough." Jing answered obediently, "And my mission is to take away something from Kang Baibo that can restrain the Sentinel's superpowers, sister."

"If I take you in, wouldn't that mean I'm making an enemy of the entire mercenary group? They're in the dark and I'm in the light, how much trouble will I have to get myself into?" Ai Wan said unhappily.

Jing's heart tightened, and her mind raced, trying to find a reason that she couldn't refuse, and then she heard Ai Wanxin say decisively: "Let me make it clear first, this will cost extra."

Jing blinked his eyes and said, "Sister, our family has a thousand-year-old heritage, and it was all left to me. I can give it all to you as long as you let me stay with you."

Ai Wanxin's face wrinkled slightly, she was so envious...

"Okay." She agreed reluctantly.

After all, the stealth skill can still be used.

"Bang bang bang-"

"Bang bang bang-"

"Open the door! Open the door quickly!!"

There was a rapid and heavy knock on the door overhead. The two stopped talking and looked up to listen to the noise coming from upstairs.

"Who...who?" came a trembling voice.

"The city lord has ordered that all women gather in front of the Resurrection Hall on the top of the mountain. Quick, all women, come out."

“Ah—Mom—”

"I won't go. We don't want to revive anyone. I won't go—"

There was a lot of noise upstairs. Ai Wanxin frowned deeply. She looked around, found the hidden stairs in the basement, and walked up quickly.
