arena.

"Where's Liu Ping?" Lilith asked.

"I don't know, I was still here just now." Andrea said.

"That booklet - there won't be any problem." Lilith worried.

Andrea became nervous when she was told, and said, "Probably not, that booklet has been with me for many years, and I always remember that it is used to help me, and it will not cause any harm..."

next moment.

Liu Ping suddenly appeared.

"You're back!" the two women said in unison.

"Yeah," Liu Ping said with a smile, "I went to make a friend—Andrea, wait for me to deal with something—"

With a random draw, he threw out a card.

Bang!
Libertas showed his figure.

"Hey? Why did you call me out? I'm sleeping." He rubbed his eyes.

"Look around." Liu Ping said.

Libertas turned around in a circle, and said in surprise: "What place is this? Why is there a two-headed monkey lying on the ground? It ate your overlord's meal?"

"This is the Battle of Gods, Libertas." Liu Ping said.

"Ascension to the Gods?"

"Correct."

Liu Ping told the story exactly, and then looked at Libertas quietly.

Libertas turned his gaze to the void.

"——It said that I discovered a battlefield of Ascension to the Gods through exploration, so the experience points are enough to upgrade."

Libertas murmured.

"Then upgrade." Liu Ping said.

Libertas nodded, his eyes suddenly froze.

He stared at the void, and said in a voiceless voice: "You just learned new skills after leveling up? Sure enough, you should have left the 'Fool' sequence world a long time ago."

Liu Ping looked at his absent-minded appearance, and simply ignored him, stretched out his hand and pulled out another card and threw it out.

Bang!
The pastoral dog Huofang appeared.

Liu Ping squatted down and sighed: "Huo Ya, thanks to you a while ago, we were able to enter that devil's city, and even entered the palace to find Lilith."

A test tube filled with boiling blood appeared in Liu Ping's hand.

He uncorked the bottle and handed it to Huo Ya.

"Woof?" Huo Ya asked suspiciously.

Liu Pingdao: "This is the magic blood potion I got from a friend. It is suitable for dogs to replace their blood vessels. It will be very painful after drinking it. If you—"

Before he finished speaking, Huoya bit the test tube fiercely, and raised his neck high.

Gumbling--

It drank all the magic blood potion in the test tube in one go.

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

Huoya barked bitterly.

Liu Ping comforted: "Yes, I know that you have a big psychological gap from a flesh-and-blood hunting dog to a pastoral dog, but don't worry, this potion is formulated by a top expert, and it will definitely help you replace your blood—it is said This is a very strong magic dog blood."

Huoya suddenly fell to the ground, rolled over non-stop, and let out a painful howl.

——The bloodline change has begun!

Liu Ping took a look, stood up and said, "Persevere, you will gradually become stronger."

He waved to Andrea.

Andrea understood and followed him to the other side of the arena.

"Show me the Dragon Cutting Knife again," Liu Ping said.

"Here." Andrea said.

Liu Ping took a look at the knife and said in a low voice, "This knife won't work."

"Huh? But when I was conscious, I remembered that this knife was a dragon-slicing knife." Andrea said.

"Look, there are several special runes on this knife. I talked with my friends, and we agreed that there might be problems with this knife at some point." Liu Ping said.

Without waiting for Andrea to speak, he said again: "The "Anatomy and Reconstruction Manual (Sentients Edition)" in your hand is also problematic - it is stolen goods. Fortunately, I can still talk to the owner of the book." , explained things clearly."

Andrea froze, with despair gradually appearing on her face.

"Liu Ping," she whispered, "When I was conscious—about two years old, I was already in Evernight, and I don't remember what happened before."

Liu Ping nodded silently.

"Do I have any sins? Why don't I even have the memory of being alive?" Andrea asked.

Liu Ping reached out and touched her head, and said in relief:

"Don't think about it, you have arrived in Yongye at such a young age, how could you have sinned?"

Andrea said in a shy voice: "But I was replaced by a dragon's spine, and I was carrying a knife and a manual that I thought could bring about a change in fate, but who knew that they were used to urge death, and I didn't even know that my relatives Who, and no one cares about me—”

"The first scene I saw when I opened my eyes was the world of eternal darkness."

"Why is that?"

Liu Ping wiped away the tears flowing from her face, and said softly: "I am by your side, Andrea, I have always cared about you."

Andrea raised her head, puzzled and said, "Even though I didn't do anything, there are still people who want my life. Why——they want me to never turn over?"

"Listen to me," Liu Ping grinned and said with a gentle smile, "Actually, I am similar to you. When I was born, I was thrown into the river and nearly drowned."

"Why?" Andrea asked.

"Because I have some flaws, they don't want me." Liu Ping said.

"This world...why is it so bitter..." Andrea buried her head, tears falling on the ground.

Liu Ping squatted down, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "But you see, I am in front of you now, I can care about you, and you can care about me, together we got rid of the dark drama, and got rid of the fool." Sequence, nothing can bind our destiny in the future—this is the most important thing.”

Andrea leaned her head on his shoulder and said in a low voice, "You mean—"

Liu Pingdao: "A person's heart is like a fish swimming in the abyss, and he is in the abyss; so don't worry about the past, don't think about it, from now on, I will always be by your side."

Andrea wiped her tears with her hand, and said hoarsely, "Don't...don't abandon me."

"En." Liu Ping said.

"you promise."

"I promise."

Liu Ping drew another card casually, and threw it out.

Bang!
A long tool box appeared at the feet beside the two.

At the same time, a long platform exuding a chilly aura appeared in front of the two of them.

"What is this?" Andrea asked after being distracted.

"The operating table and surgical tools, I have already learned how to replace the dragon's spine for you. Starting today, you can improve your own strength, and everything will be different in the future." Liu Ping said.

Andrea looked at the whole set of knives and equipment, and asked, "Will it hurt?"

She shook her head suddenly and said, "I'm not afraid of pain at all, come on."

Liu Ping took out a small bottle of medicine, handed it to her and said:

"Drink it."

Andrea took the bottle, uncorked it, and drank the potion in one go.

next moment.

She closed her eyes, her body softened, and she fell to the ground.

Liu Ping quickly caught her, picked her up, and gently placed her on the operating table.

"Okay, I'm going to start, Lilith, remember to leave a soul fire for Andrea, and tell the guys over there that they are absolutely not allowed to come and disturb me." Liu Ping said.

"Oh! I'm going!"

Lilith's eyes were red, and she hurried to the other side.

Liu Ping took out everything in the tool box and placed them on the operating table.

He closed his eyes and carefully recalled what he had learned before.

"For the dragon clan whose soul has not been extinguished, the operation is very difficult, and it must be a person who is truly proficient in anatomy to be successful."

"Of course, if you are a healer, your chances of winning are slightly higher, but you still shouldn't be careless."

The voice of the black figure echoed in his ears again.

Liu Ping recalled everything that the black figure had taught him several times, and he didn't feel relieved until he confirmed that there would be no problems.

"Okay, let's start."

He held the scalpel and held it flat above Andrea's back, hovering a few centimeters away.

Waited for a few breaths.

The knife did not go down.

Liu Ping's voice sounded:

"Andrea, you shouldn't wither in the eternal night... In the future, if I have a chance, I will take you to purgatory, see the world beyond the darkness, and see what happened back then."

"If we have grudges, we will take revenge, if we have grievances, we will take revenge."

"This is the oath I, Liu Ping, made."

The voice fell.

His hands are off.

I saw that the scalpel was like a soft feather, and like the spring breeze of Hexi, blowing away the snow-colored skin, as if calling for the long-sleeping flower bone.

At the same time, he stretched out his other hand and pulled it lightly from the void.

The "flawless dragon spine" was drawn out by him.

At this moment, everything was silent, even Libertas and Huoya held their breath.

in nothingness.

It was as if something had started to change.
