Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Even so, Chen Tong still reached out her hand.

Clang!

Chen Tong grabbed Jill's right cheek and pulled it outward forcefully.

"It hurts..."

Jill immediately screamed.

She retreated far away in fear, and breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that Chen Tong had no intention of taking it any further.

"Is this really Chen Tong?"

An Ran nodded: "I already said yes, there's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."

“No, no,” Jill explained, “It’s not that I don’t believe it, it’s just that it’s too… too strange. Yes, it’s strange. The wicked woman I remember isn’t like this at all. Not only has her demeanor changed, but even her appearance is a bit different.”

"She's just a little pale. If she hadn't been injured, you would have been hanging up and beaten by now," An Ran said.

"Are you injured?"

Jill suddenly realized.

She stared at Chen Tong for a long time.

"No wonder I felt her temperament had changed so much; she's much gentler now. But, she's injured, hahaha, doesn't that mean I can get my revenge now!"

Jill laughed loudly.

An Ran must have coerced Chen Tong into rescuing her.

what.

With An Ran as their backer, Chen Tong is nothing to fear.

She had already started thinking about how to get revenge on Chen Tong.

“Alright,” An Ran said. “Even if you do nothing now, she will still die in five months.”

"Ok?"

Jill paused for a moment.

"You're going to kill her?"

An Ran shook her head: "It's not that I want to kill her, it's that her injuries are too severe, there's no saving her, at least neither I nor Ciqiya can do anything about it."

"How could it have turned out like this?"

As soon as she asked the question, a strange emotion welled up inside Jill.

Although she wanted to take revenge on Chen Tong, she did not intend to kill him.

To be honest, her feelings for Chen Tong were very complicated.

It is far more complex than the "dependence" on Enron.

Chen Tong kidnapped her, but managed to save her in that treacherous environment.

Although Chen Tong had left her hungry for a while, she later gave her a lot of food.

Although Chen Tong restricted her movements, he also helped her regulate the elements in her body.

Now she can finally control the elemental power within her body smoothly. She will not die from the rampage of the elements, nor will she accidentally harm others because of the rampage of the elements.

If we had met Chen Tong back then, my master wouldn't have been driven to the brink of death by her.

She actually understood.

Because of this injury, Master's strength declined significantly, which led to him being injured repeatedly in subsequent missions, eventually turning him into a cold corpse.

"Are you OK?"

Looking at Jill who had suddenly fallen silent, Anran asked in confusion.

She rarely saw that expression on Jill's face.

That kind of sadness is anything but bright.

Jill patted her cheeks, then looked up, her expression now a slightly stiff smile, her eyes crinkling. Jill "smiled" and said, "I'm fine, Lady Anran. You still haven't told me why Chen Tong turned out this way."

Anran explained it to Jill.

“Bridges did it,” Jill murmured.

But Bridges was already dead.

Jill looked at Chen Tong, whose face was calm.

For a moment, I felt empty inside.

She could only watch, unable to do anything.

Are we just going to watch Chen Tong's life slowly fade away like this?

With every passing second, Chen Tong is getting closer to death.

Jill knew this was a pointless statement.

But if you know the timeframe for death, this seemingly pointless statement becomes all the more weighty.

Most importantly, why was Chen Tong able to remain so calm?

Jill couldn't understand.

Chen Tong suddenly asked, "Is there nothing more for me to do here?"

An Ran nodded: "That's right."

She hasn't figured out what to do with Chen Tong yet, because the level difference is just too big—9 levels. Even if she kills Chen Tong, she won't get anything.

Because they saved Jill, it seems possible to recruit Chen Tong, but the problem is that Chen Tong is about to die.

Five months of life is far too short in the vast universe.

So short that it's over in a long-haul flight on a spaceship.

So be it.

It seems that Jill doesn't want Chen Tong to die either.

Chen Tong turned and left the cockpit.

Only then did Jill realize that Tsykia's gaze had been fixed on her ever since.

Ella, the panda, and Tsykya.

Standing before her were three little girls of similar height. Jill touched her chin.

there is only one truth!

That means An Ran is a lolicon.

it's a pity.

If she were also a natural-born loli, then she wouldn't have needed to sign that indenture with An Ran.

it's a pity.

If she had known An Ran was a lolicon, she should have pretended to be a loli from the beginning.

It's too late now.

Jill sighed and pointed at Tsykia, asking, "So, where did you find this new little girl, Lady Anran?"

Red hair makes him stand out.

An Ran introduced, "This is the number two person in Silent City, Tsycia."

"Is her name Tsykia?" Jill nodded repeatedly. "The number two person in Silent City, seems quite powerful. Silent City, hmm, that name sounds familiar, where have I heard it before?"

Jill began to ponder.

Silent City... Silent... Silent Land.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she realized something.

"Isn't that Virginia's territory?"

Emmm...

So that's how it is.

As the number two figure in Silent City, isn't Tsykia much more powerful than Anran?

Jill's eyes bulged as she stared at Tsykia in astonishment.

"Hello."

Tsyja greeted Gil.

"Hello...you are nice."

After figuring it out, Jill started to stutter.

This is the person the Star Domain Ruler trusts most.

Tsykia is becoming more and more satisfied with Gil.

As expected of someone with all-elemental aptitude, even standing still, their strength is slowly increasing. The favor of heaven is truly terrifying.

“Although she doesn’t seem to be very bright…” Tsykia said to Anran, “Please be sure to hand her over to me. Although I am a craftsman, I am also a master of fire elements. If you hand her over to me, I can help her grow stronger faster. It will definitely be better than leaving her in the transdimensional space.”

Ciqiya looked at Anran earnestly.

If An Ran were to come over, she would definitely give her a big hug.

But if Anran is unwilling to come, then having Jill is fine too.

"and many more."

Jill, unaware of the situation, looked at Anran and then at Tsyja.

She thought she would receive the large sum of money An Ran would pay her after she got out, but now it seems like An Ran is going to sell her out.

Jill needs to sort out her thoughts.

That's true.
