Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

Not long ago, the land shook, causing people in the empire to panic, especially those who had experienced the earthquake twenty years ago. The royal family was even worried that the curse that should have disappeared twenty years ago would strike again. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the shaking to stop, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But this is only temporary. This incident gave them a warning that earthquakes may strike again.

Especially the conservatives who originally did not advocate searching for the Philosopher's Stone again, their morale has soared, and they have reason to stop the radicals from trying to mine the Philosopher's Stone again.

The king did not express his opinion, but the royal family and ministers all knew that the king was in a bad mood. After enjoying the glory of being the greatest king on the continent, in the past twenty years when the empire was declining, he definitely wanted to regain its glory the most. That person.

Almost everyone in the empire is discussing this possible disaster.

Su Xixi was also infected by this tense atmosphere. During this period, she did not dare to do experiments. As for the magic stone she finally found, it also lost its power during the earthquake and became the most ordinary stone.

Following her was a tall man. He was handsome, well-dressed, and had a defiant and arrogant air. He was very eye-catching when he walked on the road.

The loose robe also covered the horrific wound on one of his arms.

In his right hand, all the flesh and blood disappeared, leaving only dense white bones, and these bones did not look like human beings, which was horrifying and terrifying.

Glancing at Su Xixi's anxious expression, he sneered, "What's there to be afraid of? Human beings are so timid. The slightest sign of trouble is like a mouse eager to get into a hole."

Su Xixi: "Then why can't you figure it out that you actually want to sign a contract with a human like a mouse?"

There was a lump in the man's throat and he couldn't reply.

If he could, of course he would not choose a weak human to sign the contract, but at that time his wounds were constantly being corroded, and he had to find a way to save himself, and Su Xixi happened to appear here.

Signed a contract with humans, and since then their lives have been linked, and his wounds have stopped spreading.

Su Xixi saw a bunch of people gathered in front of her. She stood on tiptoes and couldn't see what was going on inside. Her curiosity was piqued, "What is for sale inside?"

The man glanced at it and said, "The Philosopher's Stone."

Su Xixi was surprised, "What!?"

Not long after the earthquake, there were rumors about magic stones being sold on the black market. Slowly, the rumors became bigger and bigger. Finally, some people were blatantly selling such rare things in the market, and some people flocked to them. , naturally attracted the attention of the royal family.

A knight walked out of the crowd. He arrived in front of a carriage and respectfully reported the information to the people inside, "The man said there are still a lot of goods, but he doesn't do unreliable business. If you want a big deal, If you want to buy goods, you need to go to the trading location he gave."

The person inside asked: "Where?"

The knight replied: "The Forest of Silence."

On the other side of the street, the busiest market was bustling with people, and the sounds of hawking were endless.

The blond man was wearing a clean white shirt, a bright red robe, black trousers and short boots that showed his height and long legs.

The man has broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a tall figure. He has a good figure that makes passers-by take a second look. In addition, he is decorated with so many bright colors. Under the sun, he is an unexpected sight the moment he passes by.

But people who see him will immediately feel pity, just because his left sleeve is empty.

Gerald was not used to the attention of so many people, and he never knew that he would be so noticed based on his appearance.

That was all thanks to Bai Yao's willingness to buy him new clothes and dress him up in all kinds of sunny and cheerful ways. She dared to use any exaggerated and eye-catching colors on him.

While Gerald was staying uneasily in the twilight of everyone, the girl squatting on the ground finally picked a bouquet of flowers that she was satisfied with from the florist. She paid the money and happily stuffed the big bouquet. Into his arms.

Gerald was caught off guard and his entire face was flooded with bright yellow flowers. After a while, he hugged the flowers and saved his sight from being swallowed up. Then he saw the girl in front of him smiling happily.

Sometimes she was really bad, and would deliberately appreciate his embarrassed look. Seeing him scurrying about, she would laugh non-stop in a good mood, but this had absolutely nothing to do with teasing, but real joy.

Because often at this time, she couldn't help but rush over and hug him.

as it is now.

Bai Yao rushed over too suddenly. She hugged him across the bouquet of brilliant flowers, "Gerald, you are so cute!"

The tips of Gerald's ears turned red. He was obviously ashamed to hear her talk about him in front of so many people. However, there were couples more bold than them on this lively street. Passers-by saw the young couple's faces. The interaction was just a smile.

Bai Yao raised her face, her eyes were smiling and shining brightly, but what her eyes caught was not the sunshine, but the blond man in front of her, "What do you want to eat today? I'll do it."

Gerald lowered his head in embarrassment, "I...want to eat strawberry cake."

Bai Yao took his arm holding the flowers and walked back with him, "Dad's business partner just sent a basket of fresh strawberries. Then we will pick the best ones to make strawberry cake."

Gerald pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay."

Not long ago, Bai Yao took Gerald back home. Regarding her disappearance, she could only say that she had an accident and lost part of her memory, so she didn't remember having a home at all. Fortunately, Gerald was there. De stayed with her and protected her, and finally she remembered to go home.

Standing in front of Bai Yao's parents, the blond young man was very nervous. He subconsciously tried to cover his mutilated side. He didn't know how to place his only hand, "Hello, I, I am Gerald ."

But soon Bai Yao hugged his arm next to him, relieving him from being at a loss.

She leaned on him and said in a showy tone, "Mom and Dad, this is the person I like! He is the great hero who saved me!"

The dark-haired middle-aged couple's expressions were unpredictable, and they didn't give any reaction for a long time.

After a while, Bai's father remembered something. He didn't dare to look at Gerald directly. The next moment, Bai's mother also recalled the young man who saved her child during the earthquake, and her expression changed. Change.

This is a magical world where incredible things always happen unexpectedly.
