Being watched by Ye Ying, the woman lowered her head.

"Chief...I..."

"I know your efforts. You have been doing things diligently over the years. I see everything you do. Those failures are not your fault. In fact, I have never blamed you.

mean,

In the entire fraternity, you are the only one I can completely trust."

As Ye Ying spoke, the shadows around him dispersed, and a ray of moonlight hit his face, revealing the face of a handsome and stern middle-aged man.

Xuemei bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes were a little sour. She thought she had forgotten the last time she saw Ye Ying's true appearance, but now she remembered that it was when she grew from a girl to a woman, and the man in front of her was like a shadow.

Suddenly appeared in front of her, taking away her body and her heart.

After that, she followed the life path set for her by the man like a man possessed. She grew from a girl who picked herbs to a top shadow assassin who kills without blinking an eye. Only she knows how much she has paid.

.

"Come over here and let me hug you again."

The man opened his arms, his coldness faded away, his face softened, and his tone was as seductive and decadent as the most caring lover.

Standing up, Xuemei hugged the man and buried her head in her chest, trying to find the warmth deep in her memory from the man's body. However, after carefully feeling it, Xuemei could only feel the coldness and stiffness.

Xuemei raised her head blankly, only to see that at some point the man's face turned into a hideous skull made of shadows. The skull opened its mouth and let out a cold and sharp mocking sound.

"Jie Jie Jie, it's such a touching scene, I'm a little reluctant to destroy it."

Xuemei, whose spine felt chilly, began to struggle, but was completely restrained in the man's arms by the power of shadow, unable to exert any strength at all.

"Who are you! Where is Lord Yeying? What did you do to him?!"

"He is very good, better than you imagine. He received the power I gave him, broke away from the mortal body, and became an immortal son of shadow."

Hearing this, Xuemei breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that he should be worried about himself the most.

"In this case, why don't you let me go quickly?"

The skull smiled grimly.

"It's a pity that I can't let you go, because you are the price for him to become the son of shadow. He promised to dedicate his favorite thing to me... Although this is just a lie, it is enough for me.

"

The woman shook her head in disbelief and was about to say something when she saw black lines spreading out from the eye holes of the skull and flowing into the woman's orifices.

The skull let go of the woman, and soon the woman was wrapped in a cocoon of shadow.

The skull dispersed and returned to Ye Ying's stern face, caressing the cocoon of shadow, Ye Ying's voice was as affectionate as ever.
