The girl held the knife tightly in both hands, which was her only source of security. The dark green wide pants that were too big and even dragged on the ground were fluttering because of her trembling legs. She was obviously a robber. But the uneasiness and fear made her look more like a tortured victim, which seemed to have no deterrent power. "Stop... give me the bread!" The girl realized her shortcomings. She tried to put on a fierce look, pointed the sharp tip of the knife at Xu Xi, like a young animal with new teeth, and shouted loudly, hysterically asking Xu Xi to stop approaching her. Her eyes were full of desire, firmly locked on the half-bitten white bread in Xu Xi's hand with teeth marks. She couldn't help it. Her throat had been dry and dry for a long time. She swallowed hard.
To be honest, the atmosphere at the scene was very weird, even dramatic and ridiculous. In the early morning, the large steam engine in Allenson City was roaring. The majestic water vapor covered the dome in a miraculous manner, and from time to time, a wizard flew through it. In a remote alley that no one noticed, a half-demon girl of human and demon blood, holding a ridiculous knife, tried to rob the famous man in Allenson City. Xu Xi, who claimed to be a formal wizard, was actually an elite wizard. Such a thing. It was even more illogical than the mythological epic sung by the wandering poet. Even if Xu Xi's identity as a wizard was put aside, the physical fitness of an adult male alone could easily subdue this fragile demon girl. But Xu Xi did not do so. "Are you hungry?" Without casting a spell to punish the demon girl who was disrespectful to him, nor did he make a harsh rebuke, Xu Xi just looked at her calmly and asked. The girl paused and nodded slightly. "Here." Xu Xi tore off the bitten part of the top layer and handed the remaining bread to the girl. The girl did not take it immediately, but looked at Xu Xi vigilantly from a distance. There was a flash of confusion in her eyes. She seemed to have never thought that she would get food so easily. One step. Two steps. The girl moved her feet carefully, holding a knife in one hand and grabbing the bread with the other, approaching Xu Xi little by little with an extremely cautious attitude. After grabbing the bread, she quickly fled back to the depths of the alley. She sat on the rotten wooden box in the corner of the alley.
Her feet stepped on the yellow mud puddle. Under Xu Xi's gaze, he first tasted it in small sips, and after confirming that there was no problem, he immediately swallowed it in big gulps. ... "I heard that the organs of the real pure-blooded demons are extremely strong and can endure hunger for up to a year. In this year, they can survive normally with magic power alone." "According to this, the half-demon race, who are a mixture of human and demon, should also inherit some of the ability to endure hunger." Looking at the girl who was eating voraciously. Xu Xi shook his head. He couldn't imagine how long this girl had been in exile and what kind of experience she had to become so dirty and miserable with scars all over her body. After a while, the demon girl finished the white bread in her hand. She looked at Xu Xi again, or more accurately, with her empty eyes, staring at the bread crumbs that Xu Xi had just torn off and stained with Xu Xi's bite marks. Only at this time. When she saw the food, a little desire would appear in her eyes. "Can... can you... give... me..." Perhaps it was because Xu Xi gave her food that she had a better impression of him. This time, the girl did not threaten him with a knife, but asked him with a stutter. Unconsciously. With a hint of flattery and begging. The skinny body stood up from the rotten wooden box, and with bare feet stepping on mud and sand, he staggered towards Xu Xi. He wanted to grab the bread crumbs in Xu Xi's hand. However—— Xu Xi ignored the girl and threw the bread crumbs into his mouth. Then, he left the alley without looking back, leaving the girl with a distant back. "Why... why..." The girl was stunned. The eyes that had originally been shining a little became dull and dim again. He lost balance and fell to the ground, falling on the slippery and smelly alley. The pain came, and bright red blood flowed from his forehead. The girl did not wail, because she was used to it. She did not stand up, but remained in the posture of falling, lost in the mud. "Mom... did I do something wrong again..." "Mom..."
"Why is this happening... I'm so hungry... I'm so hungry, Mom..." The feeling of hunger came again, and the fatal twitching of the twisted abdomen was far more severe than the pain of bleeding forehead, makingThe girl wailed all of a sudden. She curled up, holding her abdomen tightly with both hands, and kept turning over and over in the mud. As if doing so could reduce the pain. She wanted to cry, but that emotion had long been lost, completely destroyed in despair again and again. In the end, she could only lie in the mud with a broken look, with lifeless eyes, staring at the sky, quietly waiting for death to come. If you die, you won't be hungry... Such a simple thought flashed through her mind. But at this moment, a sound of footsteps came from not far away, getting closer and closer, until it came to the demon girl. The warm and powerful big hand pulled the girl up, and she saw that the owner of the hand was the young man from before. He not only came back, but also brought back new bread. "Eat it." "The bread before was not clean because I bit it. You eat these newly bought ones." Xu Xi said. He didn't care about the stench on the girl and the mud dripping all over her body. He stretched out his palm and released the Level 5 Life Magic, using the huge Life Magic to heal the girl's wound. Then he helped the girl up from the ground. Let her sit in a cleaner place to eat bread. "..." The girl was confused throughout the whole process, and seemed unable to understand the development of the situation. Until Xu Xi handed the bread to her. She reacted and mechanically bit the bread one bite after another. A bag of bread was quickly finished. Xu Xi used water magic again and summoned a large water ball to replenish the girl's water and clean the dirt on her body. Finally. Xu Xi half-knelt down and made his eyes level with the girl. Try to show a gentle look. In the stinking alley full of dirt and chaos, where even rats don't want to live, he stretched out his palm to the girl who was also flesh and blood and really existed. She made such a simple invitation: "Come with me."
The girl, who had been as quiet as a puppet, looked at Xu Xi with lifeless eyes, like a puppet being manipulated by others, without a trace of self on her face. She still didn't understand what happened, but there was an impulse in her heart that drove her to tell her. So she did it. She slowly held the palm of the man in front of her with both hands. "Okay..." Her voice trembled.
