Three days later. Tang Ling finally came.
"Disgusting smell." Silver light shone in the room, and the next moment, a silver light shield blocked the smell of the outside world.
Tang Ling looked at Audrey, who had lost her human form, with disgust and covered his nose.
He looked at me again. I smell the same as Audrey.
"Have you thought about it?" He asked me coldly without even looking at Hepburn in the next cell.
I nodded with difficulty, yes, I have thought about it.
"Do you agree to be my servant?" Tang Ling looked at me with burning eyes.
My eyes were already a little dull, and I nodded again. Yes, I have no other choice. I want to live. Only by living can I take revenge. He even agreed to kill that man, the beast who made me lose everything.
Tang Ling was very satisfied with my answer and put down the hand covering his nose: "Very good, you are indeed smart. Then, I will take you away now."
"Uuuuuu"
Tang Ling looked at me and frowned: "Do you want to talk?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you. Killing him is nothing, he is already dead. Only if he dies can Ina inherit the throne and marry Augustine. Wait until I get mine. After helping to extend my life, becoming a true god is my goal."
"Uuuuuuu" I made another sound.
Tang Ling said hesitantly: "Do you have to talk? It's okay. I'll take you to sign a contract first." As he said that, he released the power of space.
"Wooosss"
I turned around and saw Hepburn.
She heard Tang Ling's words, she looked at me and shook her head at me vigorously. She didn't cry even though her bones were broken by the beast, but now she was crying. She must have guessed something.
I looked at her, my eyes should be very gentle, I couldn't signal her, but my lips moved, I believe she could understand.
I said to her: I'm fine, don't worry, I will be strong.
Even though she always bullied me, I still loved her like I loved Audrey, and I loved her like a sister.
Yes, I love her, I don't know when it started. I don't know what kind of love it is, but I just love her.
For her, I want to survive, and I want her to live well.
Tang Ling also saw it and frowned, seeming to understand something.
"After you make a contract with me, I will help you cure her. She should be your only hope. As long as you listen to me carefully, she will live well in the future."
I turned to look at Tang Ling. At this moment, I have truly accepted my fate. As long as I can kill that beast, as long as Hepburn can survive well, and Audrey can stay with me even if she becomes a dead soul, I will accept my fate.
For them, I can no longer be the great Austin Griffin, I can be a slave. Tang Ling seemed to feel the change in my mood, and he nodded in satisfaction. Silver light also enveloped Hepburn's body. In a flash of silver light, we arrived in the wilderness again.
The moment I stepped out of the silver light door, the restriction on my spiritual sea was released. Tang Ling was very interested. He looked at me and smiled: "You can show your true form and slowly recover your body. When you recover your body, I will make a contract with you."
"Your blood is magical. I have tested it. There is a very special energy in your blood. This energy is very strong and full of powerful destructive power. Although I do not know where your attributes come from, but I am absolutely certain that this kind of energy is something I have never heard of, and even makes me feel the possibility of reaching another level for the first time. This is very good, very strong. Before you make a contract with me, I will fulfill my promise to you first. What I, the guardian of the spatial order, say must be kept. You wait here."
A silver light door opened next to Tang Ling. He waved at me, then turned and walked into the light door.
In the vast wilderness of nowhere, only Hepburn and I were left. And there was no longer a cage door between us.
I did not transform because Hepburn was right next to me. If I transformed, my huge body would probably crush her when my limbs were unable to exert strength.
Hepburn supported her body with one hand and crawled towards me little by little. Her other arm and two legs were swollen beyond recognition. If it weren’t for the supplement’s support, she would have died long ago.
She cried as she crawled towards me.
How could I make things difficult for her? Although my limbs couldn’t move, my body could still move. I was like a worm, wriggling little by little, getting closer to her.
We were so close to each other with great difficulty. When our bodies finally touched each other again, one of her movements made me cry.
She raised her only moving arm, brought her palm to my cheek, and squeezed it gently. She was crying, but her eyes were so gentle.
She came closer, and so did I. We just lay on the ground, barely facing each other.
So close, we were no longer the same as before. In just a few days, she had been tortured beyond recognition. But in my eyes, she was still so beautiful.
Her long eyelashes. Her tears flowed. Her lips moved, silently telling me.
I knew she was saying: Don’t make a contract with her, don’t become her slave.
I shook my head at her. There must be sadness in my eyes. I didn’t want her to suffer anymore.
Hepburn also shook her head at me, she said: If you become that woman's slave, you will never be happy again and you will not be yourself again.
But, I can't help it, I really have no choice. For Hepburn, I can only compromise.
She said: Do you know what love is?
I'm a bit slow, I really don't know. I just heard Osei and Audrey often say this word before, they said it to each other, and more often to me.
Hepburn looked at me gently, and her eyes at this moment seemed to melt me.
She said: Love is selfless dedication, love is giving. Little Austin, if Osei and Audrey were still alive, they would not give up on you even if they knew the end result. They definitely want you to always have love in your heart.
Because this was lip reading, she spoke very slowly, and I understood every word. Is this human love? However, I can no longer get their love.
Hepburn hugged me gently, only with her hands. She didn't mind that I was dirty, she just stuck to me. Feeling her breath and warmth, for the first time in days, my heart felt more at ease.
Lucky to have her, lucky to still have her by my side.
She said: Austin, you said that if you break through the last seal, you will become the most powerful being in the world, right?
I nodded. There is no doubt that if I can break through the seal planted on me by creation, then there will be no more power in this world that can stop or compete with me.
Hepburn nodded slightly, then kissed my cheek gently. My face has only been kissed by two women in my entire life, one is Audrey and the other is Hepburn.
Everything will be fine, everything will be fine. I said: Hepburn, thank you.
I leaned forward and kissed her cheek. Although her cheeks no longer have the fragrance of the past, and although we are in chaos now, this is the first time in my life that I have kissed someone, and it will definitely be the only one.
Hepburn smiled, her smile warm and relieved. She gently hugged my head and moved her lips, as if she was saying something, but because my head was held by her, I couldn't see what her lips were saying clearly.
The beauty with pain will also pass quickly.
The silver light flashed, and two figures came out of the silver light, it was Tang Ling and the beast.
The moment the beast appeared, whether it was me or Hepburn, our eyes froze.
