Cedric curled his lips and looked at him with a faint smile, "Sometimes, immortality becomes a kind of shackle."

Behind any extraordinary ability, there is an unknown price.

As a follower of darkness, Cedric seems to have a glorious life, but in fact he does not even have the right to decide his own life.

He can only be loyal to darkness and will never betray it.

The word "eternal life" is too abstract. Everyone is equal in the face of life and death. Fanta and Colin just think it is an exaggerated description.

Colin laughed, "You beast kings definitely don't care! After all, you've experienced everything you should have seen and enjoyed, so you definitely have no regrets. People like us haven't seen this world properly yet, so we have many regrets."

Although he said it with a smile, there was a sense of endless loneliness in his words.

Soon, Irene came out with another plate of food. When she saw Cedric for the first time, she almost dropped the plate, and her astonishment was evident on her face.

"You...you are...the Peacock King?"

Not to mention in the City of Light, even among the entire foreign race, Cedric's appearance is unique and the most recognizable.

Cedric greeted her with a smile: "Just call me Cedric. Colin and I are old friends."

Yilin took a long time to recover from her surprise. She brought the dishes to the table and kicked Colin.

This guy often boasted in front of her, saying that he knew the Peacock King and was a brother of the Peacock King. Yilin just thought he was drunk and mad. What kind of person is the Peacock King? Would he be so close to a guy like you who was hiding in the black market?

Today, the Peacock King really appeared in their house and came to visit them.

This is just like a dream!

Yilin kicked her foot and looked at Colin blankly, "Does it hurt?"

Colin shook his head, "It doesn't hurt."

Yilin slapped her head and started walking towards the room. That must be because I haven’t woken up yet and am dreaming.

Colin grabbed her, pressed her into the chair, and patted her shoulder.

"What are you talking about! I told you that I know the Peacock King, but you didn't believe me. Now he's in front of you, and you think you're dreaming." Colin bared his teeth. "Look, what's the difference between this Peacock King and us? Doesn't he still need to eat? He has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth?"

Yilin looked at Cedric's face, and her lifeless eyes regained some spirit. She was middle-aged and had a girlish heart. "There is a difference. He has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. How come he looks so good? Unlike you, you look like a piece of low-quality porcelain from a stove!"

Fanta was drinking water. When he heard this, he quickly turned his head and sprayed it out.

"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!" He was choked and coughed repeatedly. Cedric took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him. Fanta took it and thanked him.

Colin did not feel embarrassed at all because of his partner's words. How many ordinary people would not feel inferior when facing Cedric's face?

But he still looked at Yilin aggrievedly, holding her arm and rubbing against her, "So, will love change?"

He also pounded Yilin's chest coquettishly.

Yilin was a little annoyed by him and pushed him away, "The guests are watching us, you better pay attention!"

Colin, who originally wanted to move closer, met those angry eyes and immediately sat back in his chair. He straightened his body, but before he could hold it for three breaths, he could no longer hold on and put his legs up on the chair.

"Eat, eat, don't be polite! Come on, kid, let uncle serve you some food!"

Cedric is a mysophobe, and Colin doesn't dare to clip it for him.

Colin's excessive enthusiasm made Fanta a little overwhelmed.

Beast World's bowl was originally too big, and the vegetables in his bowl were now sticking out, but Colin was still putting meat into his bowl.

"Enough, enough, uncle...uncle." Fanta was still a little uncomfortable with this title.

"Oh, that's impossible. You're still growing, so you should eat more!"

Long body?

Fanta is this size, what will happen if he grows any bigger?

Cedric attacked mercilessly: "He is already the Beast King, what else does he have to grow? Do you think they are all like you, not striving for progress?"

"Hey, how can you say that? It hurts my heart, brother!" Colin pretended to be sad and wiped away his non-existent tears.

Cedric couldn't hide his smile. He hadn't enjoyed such a warm moment like today for a long time.

Chris took Su Tang out of the villa as promised. At first, Su Tang thought that the black market was just a market, but he didn't expect it to be an underground city.

The streets are paved with blue bricks, and the dim street lights illuminate the entire street, which is neat and orderly and has green vegetation.

The shrubs are dark in color, and the flowers planted on the roadside are all fluorescent. This is a night city, and also a city that never sleeps.

Su Tang couldn't help but admire the orcs' hands-on ability. The Homo sapiens' ability to accept and innovate new things was indeed a gifted talent.

Su Tang walked curiously on the street, Chris followed closely behind her, and Daniel and Drew were a few meters behind her.

Drew's dark circles had faded a lot, and his eyes no longer had the fatigue he saw last time. Daniel stared at the two of them with his hands crossed the whole time. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't understand what kind of magic Su Tang had that allowed Chris to perform such a magical transformation.

"Do you think Chris will be controlled by her? This is too abnormal!"

Drew glanced at him with a blank expression, "I see you haven't woken up yet. Isn't Chris always so moody?"

"Have you ever seen him treat any female like this? He hasn't even made this expression to his brother, right?" Looking at Chris, who was paying the bill behind Su Tang, with a sweet smile like a good baby, Daniel was so scared that he got goose bumps all over his body and quickly wiped his arms.

"Eh! That's disgusting!"

"Isn't this good? He doesn't make a fuss. He has to torment you for ten days or half a month before he feels comfortable, right?" Drew made a bold guess. "I think he seems to be in love. Aren't all males in the courtship period so flamboyant?"

"By the way, where did you find the female? This is the first time I've seen you find such a reliable one."

Daniel was startled and ran to a stall hesitantly, "What do you think of this thing? I'll buy it for you."

He held up an ugly wooden sculpture, and Drew shook his head in disdain, "It's so ugly, you should buy this thing for yourself! It suits you very well!"

Finally the topic was changed and Daniel breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't say that he kidnapped Cedric's people just to repay a favor, right?

He hasn't figured out how to explain this to his superiors. Plus, Chris treats Su Tang so specially, so he'd better keep it a secret for a while. He will only explain it when his superiors ask about it and there's really no other way.

Drew didn't think much about it and followed the two people who were distancing themselves from each other.
