Chapter 267 "Fireworks"
"elder brother?"
With wet hair, Hanabi walked out of the bathroom naked, her calves trembling slightly from the cold water.
"Feel sorry."
An Ming then realized that the girl might never have used the shower in the bathroom, and many things that were common sense to ordinary people were new to Hua Huo.
In the past, even when taking a bath, I would just carry a small wooden bucket, hide in a corner and wipe the stains on my arms with a towel.
She never washes her face. This is Hanabi's unique way of survival. Only by making herself so dirty that no one wants to touch her and people feel disgusted just by looking at her can she protect her final innocence.
Of course, this alone is not enough, the most important thing is that fireworks have "value".
She is the last descendant of the puppet clan. Even in the slave market, the law of scarcity prevails. Who knows, one day a boss might take a fancy to her identity and buy her home to make her an expensive toy.
Hanabi hated that kind of look, as if it could penetrate her mask and peel off all her flesh and blood, greedily as if it wanted to drink her blood and eat her flesh.
Some people want to use her identity to exchange for more money, some people want to use her body to satisfy their desires...but An Ming doesn't want any of this.
It was the first time that Hanabi saw such a look.
Can a liar be so gentle?
An Ming covered Hua Huo's head with a thick towel, rubbed her head and said, "From now on, don't show your body to others casually."
"Don't you like it, brother?"
There was a hint of loss in Hua Huo's voice, and her peach-red eyes, like fireworks, were full of confusion.
Since she was a child, she has been best at analyzing other people's psychology and thoughts in order to protect herself.
But from the first moment she saw An Ming, Hua Huo couldn't see anything.
Just as An Ming said, he is a liar, a professional liar who only makes others see what he wants them to see.
"You are young."
An Ming thought for a long time and gave this answer. After all, he is not a lolita complex.
Hua Huo raised her little face, her eyes clear and sincere, "Then when Hua Huo grows up, will brother like Hua Huo?"
"Do you want to hear my answer, or the liar's answer?"
"Then... I don't want to listen."
Hanabi said quietly.
After An Ming adjusted the shower to the appropriate temperature, he pushed Hua Huo into the bathroom and closed the door. Only a blurry little figure could be seen behind the frosted door.
It took Hanabi a long time to finish washing. The girl walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel with rosy cheeks and two dimples when she smiled.
"Brother, I'm done."
Hua Huo sat on the small chair with a well-behaved look on her face, letting An Ming blow-dry her hair. She swung her little feet happily.
The god of luck seemed to really favor her.
"Do you know this planet?"
An Ming braided Hanabi's hair into two ponytails, while Hanabi tilted her head with a thoughtful expression.
"Edo Planet is a planet discovered in the latest section of the company's star map. It has never been discovered before," Hanabi heard a lot of information about Edo Planet in the transport ship.
People see this planet as an untapped land of wealth, seemingly filled with opportunities and wonders.
"Yeah, you're right," after An Ming combed Hua Huo's hair, he found that the girl's cheeks were extremely attractive. He thought that she would be a top beauty when she grew up.
Of course, Hanabi knows best that beauty is a sin to her, which is why she always appears in a dirty appearance when meeting people.
"Brother, why did you come to Edo Planet?"
"for you."
"My brother is a big liar."
The best liar, Hanabi just felt it was amazing, the blank mask had witnessed a lot of greed, desire and malice, those men in luxurious clothes said the most gentle and sweet words, but on the masks appeared evil beasts with bared fangs and claws.
An Ming calls himself a liar, but his mask actually reflects an honest face.
Huahuo is not stupid, she is even smarter than many of her peers, otherwise she would not be alive today.
"There is a flower hidden on the Edo star. The potion extracted from it can control the human spirit, achieve perfect control, and lead it to the end of the spiritual world."
An Ming took out a small transparent test tube, in which were swaying blood-red petals that were brighter than the eyes of fireworks. They looked like blood, but were far more crazy than blood.
The universe is full of wonders, and every planet hides its own unique secrets. The soul cherry blossoms of Edo are a precious resource that has only recently been discovered.
Unlike ordinary cherry blossoms, soul cherry blossoms contain a strong spirit. If one can utilize the petals of these petals, one can explore the ultimate spiritual realm.
The town of Tavi came into being. In this desolate and uninhabited land, the people gathered together to form the first town. Where there are people, there is trade, so this place naturally became the "initial town" for development.
Slave traders, merchants, restaurants, assassins, rangers, those with ambitions are attracted to the same place with the same goals.
Everyone has his or her own purpose, but An Ming just wants to find an answer.
"It's getting late, go and get some rest."
Just as An Ming was about to get up and leave, he was grabbed by his arms by small hands. Hua Huo blinked her bright eyes and said, "You promised to teach me magic."
"It's that magic trick where you chop his head off with a whoosh!"
Xiao Hanabi's face was full of excitement and anticipation. When she thought of the blood splashing on her cheeks at that time, her whole body trembled with excitement, and she felt a pleasure from the bottom of her soul.
I like it very much, it’s very interesting and fun!
An Ming raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Have you ever heard of a liar among liars?"
"Um...big liar?"
"People generally call that kind of person a 'swindler'."
An Ming had a familiar peach blossom poker card in his palm. The light in his eyes was called pride. "You have the potential to become a fraudster."
"Would my brother like me becoming a fraudster?"
"Before that, you still need to find yourself," An Ming's words were meaningful. As he said at the beginning, he appeared in the slave market in order to take advantage of Hanabi.
A natural outcome? It is just the inevitable result of careful calculation.
He understood the puppet clan, and in order to achieve the ultimate goal, the existence of fireworks was indispensable.
An Ming told Hua Huo very honestly that he was a liar, and whether to believe it or not was up to Hua Huo to decide for herself.
"Own...?"
Hanabi held the mask with a bright red background. What is "herself"? She never knew.
She tried her best just to survive, and she could be anyone in order to survive.
But it's not myself.
"Hanabi" is just a name, she is not Hanabi.
"You don't have to give an answer right now," An Ming placed the poker card in Hua Huo's palm, "We still have a lot of time."
Hanabi looked at the peach blossom card in her palm and remained silent.
