After 15 minutes, Elizabeth's excitement finally calmed down. She chose a few relatively low-key clothes from Catherine's wardrobe and changed into them. Then she returned to a relatively hidden private room in the underground bar and sat down.

The female bartender with thick smoky makeup went to the bar to mix three low-alcohol cocktails, and sat silently beside her.

Judging from the calm expression on her face, she didn't seem to care too much about the assault she suffered just now. While drinking the wine in the glass, she looked at Zhang Cheng with curious eyes.

This silent atmosphere lasted for about two or three minutes, and Elizabeth finally couldn't help but asked, "Is my grandmother really dead as the rumors say?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Cheng didn't try to hide it, and nodded slightly.

"I see... no wonder they dare to treat me like this." The girl subconsciously clenched her fists, as if thinking of something bad.

"What do you mean? Who are they referring to? What happened to you?"

Although Zhang Cheng can use psychic powers to directly read the other party's thoughts and memories, he does not intend to do so.

If he uses psionic powers in similar situations, it won't take long for him to become a complete pervert, just like the mind flayer in the world of Faerun, who regards creatures other than himself as slaves and food.

Elizabeth obviously didn't know that she had just escaped, and explained with a wry smile: "It's about the troubles of custody and inheritance.

First of all, my grandmother wrote a will some time ago, and I am the sole heir to this will.

Although she is dead now, from a legal point of view, she can only be said to be missing, and it takes seven years to be considered dead.

So now not only can I not get a penny, but I also have no pocket money that I could get every month, and I can't live at all.

Second, I lost my legal guardian due to the sudden disappearance of my grandmother, and child protection wanted to send me back to my original foster family.

What's even more frightening is that many people made crooked ideas after knowing that I was the heir to a large fortune.

Both the so-called "parents" and Ball wanted a lot of money from me.

There was even a mob boss who threatened to make me a street girl if I didn't hand over $500 million in cash within a month. "

"So you're pretending to be my woman, trying to deter those plotters?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He never expected that the accident that happened in the Fragmented World would bring such a terrible disaster to the girl in front of him, let alone that the other party would come first and use such a despicable method.

Not to mention that all kinds of weird superpowers emerge in endlessly in the underground world, even ordinary people with a little brain will not easily believe it.

"I can't help it. I don't know much about the underground world. I only know you as a big shot who can make my grandmother take it seriously. But unfortunately, I still couldn't fool those bastards in the end. Besides, I am now cornered. No matter what you plan to I don't care how you deal with me. Anyway, falling into your hands will always be much better than falling into the hands of those scumbags."

After all, Elizabeth wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled.

Looking into the girl's dark blue eyes, Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then quickly said with a smile: "Tell me, do you want to integrate into the underground world and become a member of it, or do you want to return to the life of ordinary people? "

"What's the difference?" Elizabeth asked, shrugging.

Zhang Cheng unhurriedly stretched out two fingers: "The difference lies in two completely different lives! If you choose the latter, I will help you get Catherine's inheritance, but I will also delete it from your mind. Information about the underground world. If you choose the former, you must first find a way to awaken the blood of the witch and become a superpower. Tell me now, what is your choice?"

"I choose the first one!"

Elizabeth gave the answer straightforwardly without any hesitation.

She had seen the terrifying power unintentionally released by Catherine, the Witch of Desire, and she was tired of being weak and powerless. In her heart, she longed to become stronger and control her own destiny.

"Oh? Do you know how a witch's blood is awakened?" Zhang Cheng had a playful expression on his face.

You must know that witches are not real wizards who master magic power through learning and training, they are more like warlocks in Faerun.

According to legend, the earliest witches were born as hybrid baby girls who had intercourse with demons from hell, and then gradually blended into the human world as they reproduced from generation to generation.

For this reason, the Holy See, which was controlled by heaven in the Middle Ages, also launched a witch hunting campaign, and many ordinary women were implicated innocently.

"I know! Grandma told me that if a witch wants to awaken her own power, she needs to find a real male wizard first, then have sex with him, and activate herself by absorbing magic power." Elizabeth bit her lower lip, repeating what Catherine said at the beginning If you pass.

Sensing the shyness in the girl's eyes, Zhang Cheng couldn't help teasing with a half-smile: "So you found your target?"

"Yes! I found it!"

The voice just fell!

Elizabeth rushed over without warning, put her arms around Zhang Cheng's neck and kissed him fiercely.

Her movements are so wild, completely unlike the gentle and ladylike image she usually shows.

After a full minute, the two slowly separated...

"You are my target!" the girl announced loudly, licking her numb lips.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to bid farewell to my happy single life." Zhang Cheng took out a tissue and wiped the red lip marks left by the passionate kiss just now.

After all, Catherine is dead, he no longer has to worry about his emotions and desires being used by the other party, and plans to take the opportunity to enjoy the emotional life of a normal person.

In fact, apart from a very small number of members of the Supreme Council and the monsters created by the gods to guard the seal, there is nothing in this world that can pose a real threat to him. It is time to release the long-suppressed nature.

"You admit that I'm your girlfriend?" Elizabeth covered her mouth in surprise.

"Why not? We've had an extra crush on each other since we first met, and it's good to try to get along for a while. As for the inheritance and custody issues, don't worry, I will send someone to resolve them." He said, Zhang Cheng took out his phone and dialed one of the numbers.

But before the other side got connected, Elizabeth rushed over and hugged him tightly, complaining to herself, "Damn it! I knew you were just pretending to be indifferent!"

"To be precise, it's a kind of self-protection. You have to understand that Ms. Catherine is not what you imagined. She is an out-and-out dangerous person..."

5 Chapter Forty to Solve Trouble

"Dangerous person?"

Elizabeth obviously didn't know the true face of her grandmother, her eyes widened in surprise.

"That's right! Do you know how old she is? Do you know how she maintains her young and beautiful appearance?" Zhang Cheng asked several questions in succession with a half-smile.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then quickly shook her head: "I don't know."

In her eyes, her grandmother has always been full of mystery, and she rarely talks about the underground world and her responsibilities.

"As far as I know, Catherine is 270 years old. Through a terrible magic ritual, she forcibly occupied the body of her offspring to ensure that she would never age and die." Zhang Cheng explained meaningfully.

"Occupy the body?!" Elizabeth seemed to understand something, and her whole body shivered suddenly. "Could I be..."

Zhang Cheng nodded lightly: "That's right! You are the new body she chose. Otherwise, why would you think that a selfish person like her would suddenly choose to adopt you and make a will to give you all the property?" Inheritance? Although the truth is a bit cruel, you better understand that the underground world is not as safe as the world of ordinary people, it is full of danger and darkness."

"my Lord!"

The girl was obviously terrified, her whole body was shaking non-stop, and at the same time, her two hands hugged her tightly.

Just when Zhang Cheng was about to say something, Polman's panting voice finally came from the other side of the phone: "Hold... sorry! My lord! I didn't hear the phone ring just now! What is your order?"
