Li Youmi said, "Your relationship with the God is so close, yet you always treat me like an outsider. I want to be just as close to the God as you are."

Ji Xian was shocked; this was actually a slave collar!

He was so frightened that he almost threw what he was holding away.

This thing is said to be able to emit high-voltage current, instantly killing disobedient slaves.

Li Youmi gave this to Ji Xian so that he could control her life and death, so that he could treat her as one of his own without any reservations.

However, Li Youmi's direction was clearly wrong.

Ji Xian said earnestly, "I don't treat you as an outsider. The reason I'm close to Xia Luoxue is because... well, you're just a child, you don't understand yet. You'll understand when you grow up."

“I’m an adult now, okay?” Li Youmi puffed out her chest, which was as flat as Nezha’s.

Ji Xian smiled but didn't answer. He said, "You don't need this collar. It's dangerous. I'll go throw it away."

"No!" Li Youmi shouted hurriedly.

"Listen to me, don't make trouble," Ji Xian said.

"No, no, waaaah..." Li Youmi suddenly burst into tears.

Ji Xian was at a loss for words: "Why are you crying?"

“I have no family anymore, but you are my family now. I want this feeling of home,” Li Youmi cried out.

Ji Xian was stunned for a moment. He felt sorry for her, but he still wouldn't put the slave collar around Li Youmi's neck.

At this inopportune moment, Xia Luoxue asked, "Where are your original family members?"

Li Youmi stopped crying.

She hadn't expected Xia Luoxue to ask her this at this time.

This is something she has always been unwilling to recall.

Or rather, it's something she's always wanted to escape.

She could not forget her mother's tragic death.

At first, he also thought about revenge.

But when she was captured and sold off cheaply, she realized that there was nothing she could do.

She is too small, too insignificant.

Revenge was just a momentary impulse on her part.

The hope Ji Xian gave her when she was in a daze, and the warmth he gave her when she woke up—all of these made it impossible for her to let go.

She knew that avenging her mother's death was almost impossible.

Therefore, she cowardly wanted to escape even more, and wanted to grasp at the straw in front of her.

Li Youmi briefly lost her composure and revealed her background of living with her mother.

Ji Xian sighed, unsure of what words to use to comfort him.

Xia Luoxue had already hugged Li Youmi.

Li Youmi suddenly exclaimed in shock, "Why are you hugging me?"

Xia Luoxue said, "Can't I hug the poor little thing?"

Li Youmi stammered, "But I, but I, I want to take the God away from you."

Xia Luoxue laughed: "Heh, so you knew you were trying to steal someone, huh?"
