Chapter 25 The Devil and the Girl (2)

At this moment, perhaps it was because the girl was suddenly transported from sleep to an unfamiliar environment. Thus, she was filled with tension and fear.

Thinking about what the other party had experienced over the years, Fang Ze could not help but sigh inwardly.

This girl had lived a difficult life.

Although he was emotional, he still had to act.

Therefore, Fang Ze, who was behind the fog, composed himself and deliberately smiled. “Why are you crying?”

The girl looked at Fang Ze with tears in her eyes and said in a trembling voice, “Sir, I… I’m afraid…”

Fang Ze said cunningly, “What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you?”

Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, the girl trembled and tears began to fall…

Seeing this, Fang Ze laughed wildly. “Hahaha. Don’t worry, little girl. I’m not interested in eating people. I’m a devil, not a demon.”

“Violence is the most boring thing in the world.”

“We devils don’t like violence. We only like to trade.”

There were clearly no legends of demons or devils in this world.

Therefore, the girl’s innocent face could not help but reveal a confused expression.

However, she immediately remembered that no matter who this figure was, they were not something she could provoke. Therefore, she hurriedly lowered her head and knelt there. She said softly, “But… I don’t have anything to trade.”

Fang Ze put his hand on the throne and rested his cheek on it. He looked down at her and said bossily, “You do.”

“Your friendship, love, kinship, and lifespan can all be traded.”

“In fact… You can even trade your soul…”

At the words of the “devil” before her, like a frightened rabbit, the girl was startled again. She was tempted to refuse, but didn’t dare to.

Then, as if reading her mind, the “devil” said, “Don’t be in such a hurry to say no. You only heard what you can give. Don’t you want to know what you can get?”

The girl looked up at the “devil” with her big eyes and blinked slightly.

The “devil” spread his arms and said in an infectious voice, “You can receive endless life, obtain supreme rights, and enjoy endless wealth…”

The girl’s eyes darkened, clearly not interested.

The “devil” looked down at her, and his high voice lowered. “Of course, all the things you’re upset about and the people you want to save can also be traded for…”

The girl looked up sharply at the “devil’s” words.

The “devil” in front of her was shrouded in fog. It was at least two meters tall, with two goat horns on its head. Its entire body was black, as if it had been burned by charcoal. It was filled with an ominous feeling.

In particular, those eyes that looked through the fog were mysterious, powerful, and devilish. They seemed to have the ability to see through people’s hearts.

The girl was trembling with fear, but because the “devil’s” words had given her too many illusions, she finally mustered her courage and asked weakly, “Then please, may I ask… Can you help me save someone?”

The “devil” looked at her and said, “Sure. But what are you going to trade in return?”

There was a lot of hesitation in the girl’s eyes at first when she heard the “devil.”

After a moment, she said, “Is love okay?” “I… I don’t need that. It’s too extravagant-“

At this, she lowered her head and whispered, “If it’s not enough, kinship is fine… However I don’t have parents anymore. I wonder if this is worth anything…”

“Or…”

“Or…”

Then, she looked up and said, “Would my lifespan do? I could give a few years, or even a dozen, in exchange for his peace.” The devil didn’t answer immediately. He sat back on his throne and looked at the girl, his eyes amused. “Is he that important to you?”

The girl shook her head at first, then nodded.

Perhaps because she was certain that she wanted to trade with the “devil” in front of her, she gradually opened up.

She said weakly, “It’s not him. It’s his mother…”

She lowered her head and whispered, “His mother was kind to me. When she left this world, I promised her I would take good care of him.”

The “devil” smiled. “Interesting, interesting… If you could save him once, could you save him twice?”

“If you saved him twice, could you save him thrice?”

“Are you sure that you can always save him?”

The girl’s eyes were blank.

She looked confused for a moment, then slowly shook her head. “I don’t know.”

“However, if he can be saved, then so be it.”

“My life isn’t worth much anyway.”

“Without his mother, maybe… I wouldn’t be alive now.”

“That’s what I owe her in the first place.”

At the girl’s words, the “devil” suddenly seemed angry.

He slammed the throne, then cursed. “How ridiculous!”

As he cursed, the volcano in the distance suddenly erupted, and the surrounding flames suddenly rose!

The girl curled into a ball and stared at the scene in front of her in horror.

She had no idea what was happening or why the “devil” in front of her was so angry.

At that moment, she heard the “devil” snort and say, “Repaying a favor is an excellent quality. However, there are limits to repaying a favor.”

“You should repay his mother for her kindness to you.”

“Even if his mother died, you still want to repay the favor to him.”

“However, that doesn’t mean you have to repay the favor without a bottom line!”

“Especially…”

At that, the “devil” sat back on his throne, looked at her, and said, “Although his mother did you a favor, he didn’t treat you well, did he?”

“He beats and scolds you from time to time and doesn’t appreciate it.”

At the “devil’s” words, the girl bowed her head, her face pale.

The “devil” was silent for a moment. His mood calmed down.

Then, he said hoarsely, “I can help you.”

The girl looked up in surprise.

Then, she heard the “devil” say, “However… There are additional conditions.”

The girl asked meekly, “What additional conditions?”

The devil said, “That man is in deep trouble. Without my help, he would be dead.”

“By helping him this time, it will be giving a life for a life.”

“You can be considered to have repaid the favor.”

“After that, his business has nothing to do with you.”

“You have to start your own real life.”

Surprise filled the girl’s watery eyes at the “devil’s” words.

Probably no one had ever told her she could do this, but at that moment, she did feel her vision brighten a little.

For a moment, she nodded, laughing and crying at the same time. “Yes,” said the girl in a choked voice. “I understand, Mr. Devil.”

The moment she agreed, the girl suddenly felt extremely relaxed…

When she agreed, the “devil” yawned, then said carelessly, “Don’t get too excited. What I just said was a side condition, not the price of a deal.”

“Do you really think the devil does charity?”

At the devil’s words, the girl remembered that the man before her was a devil who traded souls.

She said, “Oh.” Then, she sank to her knees again, waiting patiently for the devil’s price…
