"Xilin, good boy, don't worry, mother will be fine."
In the white ward, a brown-haired woman lies on the bed, her golden eyes full of doting and reluctance.
She tried her best to stretch out her pale and bony palms, covering Xilin's purple hair, and caressed her gently.
"Yeah!" Xilin nodded her head. There was a hint of worry deep in her eyes, but she didn't show it.
"Mom, Brother Aji said that the doctors here are the best in the city, and they will definitely be able to cure mom's disease! When mom gets better..."
Xilin whispered about her fantasy about the future, and the woman on the hospital bed smiled gradually, but she could not hide her sick complexion, which was as pale as paper.
"Except for you, Brother Aji, don't trust others too much in the future."
"Ah?" Xilin raised her little head, her bright golden eyes full of confusion.
Outside the ward.
Yae Ji folded his arms, leaned his back against the wall, lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly, as if he was pretending to be asleep.
He could hear clearly what the mother and daughter said in the ward.
Due to age constraints, Xilin's mother did not have much experience in life in a big city, even though she was well-known in a nearby town.
Given her status, she obviously cannot enjoy an independent ward in this hospital.
Not long after arriving in this city, Yae Ji contacted Ai Yi, and through Ai Yi he contacted Leanna. After exchanging the password, he already had the highest authority in the Tianming garrison department here.
Regardless of whether he follows the original historical development or requires convenience and stability, he prefers Siren to become the Herrscher of the Sky. Just like when he faced ‘Ji’ and became the Herrscher of Fire in The Fire Chasing Moth.
The difference is that he did not have the ability to save the Herrscher's body at that time, but now he does.
Siren became the Herrscher of the Sky and went to the moon to obtain the four powers given by God... It was rehearsed several times according to the script!
He has the strength to prevent Sirin from becoming the Herrscher of the Sky, but what next? Unable to determine the newly born Herrscher, the instability in various regions has skyrocketed, and the risks are higher.
He had discussed it with Leanna before and agreed that it would be safer to let Sirin become the Herrscher of the Sky. Then he would use his backhand to transform Sirin. The best outcome would be to transfer her from the Honkai side to the human side.
Before that, Siren must first experience pain.
"Celine..."
Yae Ji whispered softly.
Ta-ta-ta~
Rapid footsteps sounded, and a middle-aged doctor in a white coat walked quickly.
"Sir." The middle-aged doctor bowed slightly and whispered: "Everything is ready."
"Yes." Yaeji responded. Just as the doctor passed by, the door of the ward suddenly opened with a "click".
Xilin poked her little head out and said, "Brother Aji... Mom wants to talk to you."
A smile immediately appeared on Yaeji's face, and he rubbed Xilin's little head out of habit, "Okay."
Xu was reminded by her mother, so Xilin stayed outside. From time to time, a nurse would pass by pushing a medicine cart, showing a warm smile to this cute little girl.
indoor.
Xilin's mother looked even more tired. Yae Ji used his invisible mood to probe slightly and discovered the cause of the disease.
Xilin's mother's own resistance to Honkai energy is not bad, mainly due to physical problems, unlike those villagers in the village who were affected by Honkai erosion and became sick.
The cancerous lesions made her body extremely fragile, and the collapse and erosion also intensified. For this era, the condition was extremely complicated, and the doctor could only advise her to eat well, drink well, have fun, and enjoy the last days of her life.
"I, can I ask you a favor?" Xilin's mother looked directly at Yaeji, her bright golden eyes also a little dim.
Yaeji nodded.
"I know that my disease cannot be cured. I heard what the doctor said to you this morning." The woman took a breath and continued: "Don't waste your money in vain. I have a hunch that I won't live well for a few days. I...
.I don’t know if the money is enough, there is real estate, and there are some jewelry in the second secret compartment under the wardrobe... After I die, those will all be yours."
The woman tried hard to see the expression on Yaeji's face clearly, as if she wanted to see something from his face.
She was disappointed.
She took another breath and said, "Xilin...can I please help you?"
As if she was afraid that Yaeji would misunderstand, the woman hurriedly said: "Just take care of her until she is an adult. When she goes to college, she can apply for a loan. Then you don't have to worry about her anymore... Really... Please."
..”
"You believe me so much?" Yaeji raised his eyebrows and looked at the sick woman on the hospital bed.
There is no doubt that she can give birth to a very cute Siren, and the woman's appearance is not bad at all. The weak woman lying on the hospital bed has a different kind of beauty at this time.
"Believe it." The woman said firmly, but there was a look of pleading on her pretty face.
Yae Ji rolled his eyes in his heart. Are people in this era so pure? Are they really not afraid that he will sell Xilin and monopolize the family wealth? He has no legal awareness at all.
I really don’t know whether this beautiful woman is on the first floor or the third floor.
【Old Thousand Layer Cake】
Ignoring "Mobile Phone"'s routine complaints, Yaeji said: "Did you say anything to Xilin?"
Seeing Yae Ji's attitude, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, "No... I left her a letter, which is in the drawer next to her."
"Well, okay, leave Xilin to me, don't worry."
Yaeji's words seemed to have magic power. A satisfied smile appeared on the woman's face, and her consciousness became dim, "Really, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
After saying that, the woman fell asleep.
"Taking care of children... I am also good at taking care of children. I should have a skill for taking care of children on the skill panel." Yae Ji complained to himself, "I only take care of the children until they are sixteen, and you have to rely on yourself for the rest."
, who told you to be her mother? Then you two, mother and daughter, just don’t chop me with a knife."
"No, why does this sound so awkward?"
Siren's mother cannot die, and will be one of the antidotes left to Siren the Herrscher in the future.
What? A fatal disease?
Where did rc go? Where did the black abyss and white flowers go?
In a collapsing world, when you reach a certain level, it's not easy for you to live normally or even die.
...
Xilin, who saw her mother for the last time in the morgue, burst into tears.
At this time, Xilin was huddled in the passenger seat of the old pickup truck, her usually straight hair hanging down beside her.
There were still tears on her little face with a little baby fat. Under the double pressure of exhaustion and mental haggard, Xilin, who barely fell asleep, still talked about her mother from time to time.
The death of her mother was a fatal blow to Xilin, who was originally from a single-parent family and was dependent on her mother.
If Xilin wasn't still a little young now, Yaeji estimated that there was a chance that she would attract the "god's" attention this time.
Buzz~
The engine of the old pickup truck shook a few times for the last time and stopped panting. Yaeji got out of the car and opened the door from the other side.
"Ci Lin, Xi Lin, wake up, you're home."
The sleepy Xilin scratched her face and shrank back, "No, I still want to sleep a little longer..."
