The sun was shining brightly, but most of it was blocked by the wildly growing trees. The breeze blew from time to time, and the only sound in the quiet forest was the rustling of leaves.

Bai Ji did not wake up naturally this morning. She lay on the floor of the alchemy room, tilting her head to watch the ants crawling on the floor.

Maybe because last night's dessert fell on the floor? Oh, no, she can't make dessert at all.

There was a buzz in his head, like a hangover, and there was a pain that penetrated into his bones. Baiji's face kept twitching, and he couldn't control his facial muscles.

The alchemy room was very messy, with books and blankets scattered everywhere, as well as bottles and jars placed randomly. Bai Ji didn't know what position she was in now, but she waved her hand and knocked down the medicine bottle, and the crisp sound amplified her irritability.

She should buy a slave from humans. If humans still sell slaves, the slave she buys can at least help herself up at this moment.

——As for now, let’s solve the immediate problem, how to get the things out of the brain without damaging the brain.

Ah, yes. Awakening from a state of not knowing what was going on, Baiji immediately sensed something strange in her mind before she even made any move...

-

The boy stumbled and ran deep into the forest. The six adult men who captured him hesitated for a moment when they saw the boy still running in.

"Boss, over there..."

"Tsk, this brat really knows how to choose a place to run."

"Are we still chasing?"

The boys were arguing in confusion, and some were already scared and wanted to leave.

The leading scarred man was also a little scared, but he was not very willing. When he bought that brat, considering his good appearance, he spent 20,000. Now I haven't earned a penny, and if I don't get it back, all the money will be wasted.

"We wait here for a while and surround everyone here. When he comes out, we will take him away. If he doesn't come out, bah! Go back to the old woman and get the money back!"

"Yes!"

-

The boy in the forest was lucky. There were no accidents along the way. He fell next to the swamp and the wounds on his body burst.

The boy was not willing to stop there. He tried hard to grab the weeds in front of him with both hands, and then dragged his body forward with great effort. A clear blood trail stretched out from under his body.

He heard the howling of unknown beasts in the forest, but for some reason, they didn't rush out to eat him.

"I seem to hear the voice of desire."

At the end of his realization, a woman dressed in black appeared in his hazy vision.

-

"Go to hell! You scourge!"

"Why did I give birth to you? You are a monster! Stay away from me!"

"Come, come here, mom will take you to clean up."

"Ten thousand, no, twenty thousand, the price is twenty thousand. This is his contract of sale. You can do whatever you want to him in the future."

"Which rich lady will you sell this appearance to?"

"Would you like to enjoy it first? This kind of thing is not often seen."

"Don't do it. The boss said you can't touch him. He's injured now and needs to be recuperated before he can be sold."

"You brat! Don't run!"

"You can't run away!"

!

The boy woke up from his dream. He sat up in a cold sweat. He thought the wound on his back would hurt, but there was an indescribable feeling of relief on his back. No, not just on my back, my whole body feels comfortable.

"you're awake?"

The boy turned his head suddenly and saw the woman before she fell into coma.

She was dressed in black, a bit like those who practice religion, but her clothes were very simple. There were some complicated patterns on her clothes, which made her look very mysterious.

The woman's hair was as long as ink, slightly curly, and her bangs were straight, but they were cut into diagonal lines by a pair of scissors, which looked strange. He is good-looking, but compared to those with outstanding looks, this face is really too ordinary. The only thing that stands out is his eyes, which are obviously very dark, but reflect a dark golden light under the light.

Being stared at by those eyes, the boy's whole body stiffened and he didn't even dare to breathe.

"Are you awake? Just wake up and you can...hiss." The woman looked impatient. She opened her mouth to chase people away, but for some reason she stopped talking.

Raising his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, and then pressing his forehead, Bai Ji suppressed the curse words on his lips and changed his words: "Since you've woken up and have nowhere to go, just stay here with me, little gu...child."

The boy was at a loss. He stood up in a hurry, spread the quilt quickly, and sat on the side submissively. The expression on his face was still a bit defensive, but mostly it was fear. He grasped the hem of his clothes with both hands.

The clothes on his body were a bit too big and had a greenish smell of herbs. They were not the clothes he wore at the beginning. During the time he was unconscious, the woman cleaned his body, applied wound medicine, and put on new clothes.

I don’t know if the woman’s actions were out of good intentions, but the woman’s mention that she could stay did make the boy’s tight body relax slightly.

But he still can't trust women wholeheartedly, after all, he knows nothing about women.

"Huh? Picking a name? Are you kidding me?" The woman seemed to be talking to someone. Her tone was full of displeasure, but the boy was sure that there were only two of them in the room. "It's not my job to pick names. I don't like giving names." Someone else takes the name.”

"What was your original name?" Bai Ji looked at the boy. A name is a kind of expectation and the establishment of a relationship. It is already good for her to keep a boy who is not simple at first glance and is full of desires, let alone want to go. Build a relationship with him.

Baiji attaches great importance to these.

"I, I don't have a name." The boy was a little embarrassed, "They all call me monster."

"Ah, okay, then you can call him a monster from now on." Baiji didn't care, regardless of whether it would hurt the boy, "He has a name, and a monster can also have a name."

Bai Ji never cared about what others thought, as long as others didn't focus on her. Too much gaze would make her uncomfortable, and she didn't like it very much.

Baiji is a very picky woman.

"Hello, monster. My name is Bai Ji. I am the owner of this room and your future guardian. I will take care of you until you are an adult. Do you know that you are an adult? That is until you are eighteen years old. As for after that, you Just get out of here and go wherever you like." After saying that, Bai Ji ignored the angry things in his head, stretched out his hand to the "monster" and said: "Shake hands, even if the contract between us is established. ."

To be honest, the boy doesn't like people calling him a monster. He can feel that those who call him a monster are full of malice towards him, including his biological mother. They loathed and despised him, but they feared him.

The woman Baiji has no such ill intentions, and the word monster has no meaning to her. She just wants to find a name to call herself.

It didn't matter, he was used to being called a monster anyway. The boy thought to himself, comforting himself and soothing the disappointment deep in his heart. He sorted out all his emotions and held the woman's hand with both hands.

This warmth made him feel unreal. He subconsciously wanted to hold it tight, but Bai Ji had already withdrawn his hand.

"Okay, okay, that's it. This is your room. You can rest here first. I'll show you the way after a while." Bai Ji took back her hand and subconsciously wiped it on the hem of her skirt. He didn't pay attention to the boy's lowered eyelashes, "Oh yes, there's one more thing, your contract of betrayal."
