Chapter 216: Chapter 189 The Concentration of Bad Women and Bad Men Chapter 216: Chapter 189 The Concentration of Bad Women and Bad Men Ash stared blankly at the little girl hugging his leg, his eyes lost as he responded to everyone.
“Hey, she’s calling you daddy, so are you the hero that’s going to rescue her?”
Harvey actually remembered the joke Ash had used to fool them earlier.
It was Igula who vaguely caught on and immediately mocked, “Ash, I didn’t expect you to have such a grown child… But this isn’t the Kingdom of Blood Moon, so I can sincerely congratulate you two on your reunion.”
“It’s not like that!” Ash protested, “Look at me with black hair and her with white hair, how could we possibly be related?”
“That only means your genetic material was defeated,” Igula said leisurely.
The little girl was crying so hard that snot was coming out, stickily clinging to his pants as she looked up pitifully at Ash: “Daddy, don’t you want me anymore?”
“I’m not your daddy!”
“No, you are my daddy! Waaaah, daddy doesn’t want me anymore!”
Had it been his nephew back home, Ash would have long served up the punishment of steamed pork with rattan. But looking at this crying mess of a face still looking adorably distraught, his hardening fist couldn’t help but soften again.
If I had been this cute when I was little, I probably wouldn’t have been beaten by my parents even if I stole money. During spring outings, everyone would have battled to be in my team. Girls would have tried to get my attention by pulling down my pants…
Ash looked towards Hanna and noticed she was eyeing the ‘father and daughter’ duo with an amused gaze.
“Since Heath, you are now my vassal, if she agrees to become your vassal, naturally she’d also be mine,” Hanna commanded, “Shake hands with her.”
“From now on, please address me as Ash.”
After correcting her, Ash looked down at Liss, stretching out his hand, “Alright, be good. Life is , always getting bullied by bad women for no reason.”
This time, Liss did not resist and gripped Ash’s index and middle fingers with her palm.
Hanna pulled out a purple hand cannon from her embrace, aiming it at the spot where their hands were clasped.
“Ash, make two demands of her. First, she must obediently listen to you for 101 days; second, she may not leave you for 101 days,” she looked at Liss, “Liss, you can also make two demands of him, anything goes. That’s how a contract is formed.”
Reluctantly, Ash could only honestly say, “For 101 days, you’ll have to listen to me obediently.”
Liss’s eyes gleamed with cunning, “But daddy, you have to listen to me too.”
Hanna fired a purple streak of light that turned into chains binding their hands tightly, with purple engravings spreading all the way to their hearts.
This is terrible, you’re listening to me, and I’m listening to you, won’t this turn into an infinite recursive loop?
Ash continued, “For 101 days, you must not leave me.”
“I won’t leave daddy,” Liss burst into a tearful smile, “but daddy, you have to protect me well!”
The purple gun bullet burst forth once more, engraving a second oath on the backs of Liss and Ash’s hands.
“Very well,” Hanna looked at Cleos beside her, “Now all the people from the Exotic Realm are under my control, no more problems now, right?”
“There’s no more indebtedness between you and me,” Cleos, with her hands crossed over her chest, attempted seriousness, but the swollen eyes undermined her dignity, “Please go now, we still need to take photos.”
“By the name of Doran, I will not fail your trust,” Hanna laughed with her hands on her hips, “I hope you achieve a desirable ranking at the Weaving Festival.”
Housekeeper Banjee snapped his fingers lightly, and a staircase of frost extending to the ceiling quietly formed. Hanna looked at them and said, “From now on, you are no longer people from the Exotic Realm, but temporary operators for the Funeral Service Office.”
“Come on up, I’ve already prepared clothes and food for you.”
Liss suddenly rubbed her nose and tears all over Ash’s clothes, then dashed over and took Hanna’s hand, following behind the young lady like a little shadow. Ash, chin nearly dropping, watched the little drama queen stick to his boss, “She, she was quite afraid…”
Harvey patted him on the shoulder, “When the contract was signed, why didn’t you let her speak first? If she had made an unreasonable demand, you could have refused to accept it. Now look at you, with those two oaths, you might really end up dedicating your life to her.”
Igula passed by him, heaving a heavy sigh, “Even a little girl we barely know can tell at a glance that you’re the easiest one among us to deal with.”
Meanwhile, Liss leading Hanna by the hand turned her head back, lips curving in a slight smile, her big eyes narrowing into a cunning arc, beckoning Ash, “Daddy, come quickly!”
There was no doubt that her earlier pitiful demeanor was all a ruse, just to lower Ash’s guard!
“First there’s ‘Eternal Damnation’ whose luck defies logic, followed by an elf archer who cries and shoots at the same time, then there’s the leader of the black evil organization Purple Moth whom we sold and then snatched back, and now even a little girl is trying to extract my residual value…”
Ash couldn’t help but hold his forehead, “The concentration of bad women tonight is a bit too high, isn’t it?”
In the Kingdom of Blood Moon, on the outskirts of Kaimon City.
By now, Freyja had already dressed herself and was changing Selena into clean clothes, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at the thin doll-like girl. A choker of Blood Moon’s light tightly encircled Selena’s neck, a declaration of her status as an outsider.
