Ash looked dumbfounded at the little girl hugging his thighs and responded to everyone with a blank look.

"Hey, she calls you daddy, so you're the hero who will save her?"

Harvey actually still remembered the joke that Ash had just played on them.

It was Igula who vaguely realized what was happening, and immediately sneered, "Ash, I didn't expect you to have such a big child... But this is not a blood moon, so I can sincerely congratulate you two on your reunion."

"No way!" Ash: "Look, I have black hair and she has white hair, how can we be related by blood?"

"That only means that your genetic material has been defeated." Igula said leisurely.

The little girl cried so hard that her snot came out, and the snot stuck to his pants. She looked up at Ash pitifully and said, "Daddy, don't you want me anymore?"

"I'm not your father!"

"No, you are my dad! Oh, daddy doesn't want me anymore!"

If it was his nephew from home, Ash would have used the cane-braised pork punishment to punish the naughty child. But looking at this face that was still so cute even when crying, his hardened fist couldn't help but soften again.

If I had been this cute when I was a kid, I wouldn’t have been beaten by my parents even if I had stolen money. When we were forming teams for the spring outing, everyone started a class war just to be in the same team with me. Girls even took off my pants on purpose to get my attention…

"That's fine too."

Ash looked at An Nan and found that An Nan was looking at them, the father and daughter, with a playful look.

"Sis, you are my vassal now. If she is willing to be your vassal, she will naturally be my vassal as well." An Nan ordered, "Shake hands with her."

"Please call me Ash from now on."

After correcting the address, Ash looked down at Liz and stretched out his palm to her, "Oh, be obedient, life is like this, you will always be bullied by bad women for no reason."

This time, Liz finally did not resist and grasped Ash's index and middle fingers with her hands.

An Nan pulled out a purple pistol from his arms and aimed at the position where they were holding.

"Ash, make two requests to her. First, she must obey you within 101 days; second, she must not leave you within 101 days." She looked at Liz: "Liz, you can also make two requests to her, anything is fine, so that the contract can be established."

Ash could only say honestly: "In the next 101 days, you must listen to me."

Liz's big, crystal eyes flashed with a hint of cunning: "But you have to listen to me, Dad."

call out!

An Nan shot out a stream of purple light, which turned into a chain that tightly bound the hands of the two men. The purple chain marks spread all the way to the heart area.

It’s amazing. You listen to me and I listen to you. Wouldn’t this become an infinite iterative dead loop?

Ash continued, "You are not allowed to leave me for 101 days."

"I won't leave Dad," Liz smiled through her tears, "but Dad, you have to protect me well!"

Purple bullets gushed out again, leaving a second oath mark on the backs of Liz and Ash's hands.

"Very good," An Nan looked at Cleos beside him, "Now all the foreigners are under my control. Is this all right?"

"There is no more default between you and me." Cleos put her hands on her chest. Even though her tone was harsh, her red and swollen eyes destroyed her dignity. "You guys should leave quickly. We still have to take pictures."

"I will not betray your trust if I bet on Duolan's name." An Nan smiled and put his hands on his hips, "I wish you can get an ideal ranking in the weaving festival."

Butler Banji flicked his fingers lightly, and a frost staircase extending to the outside of the ceiling quietly formed. An Nan looked at them and said, "From now on, you are no longer foreigners, but temporary staff of the funeral office."

"Come on, I have prepared clothes and food for you."

"yes!"

Liz rubbed her nose and tears on Ash's clothes, then rushed over and took An Nan's hand, following behind the young lady like a little follower. Ash was so shocked that his jaw dropped, looking at the little drama queen clinging to his boss, "She, she's not very scared..."

Harvey patted his shoulder and said, "When we signed the contract just now, why didn't you let her speak first? That way, even if she made unreasonable demands, you could refuse to accept them. Now, based on those two vows just now, you may really have to devote your whole life to her."

Igula walked past him and sighed heavily: "Even the little girl who I just met for a short time can see at a glance that you are the easiest one to deal with among us."

At this time, Liz, who was holding An Nan's little hand in front of her, turned her head to look back, her mouth slightly upturned, her cute big eyes narrowed into a cunning arc, she blinked at Ash, waved and said, "Daddy, come here quickly!"

There was no doubt that her pitiful flattery just now was all a disguise, just to lower Ash's vigilance!

"First, there was Yongjie Changzai, who had incredible luck. Then there was the Elf Archer, who cried and shot at us. Then there was the Purple Moth, the leader of the evil organization, who sold us out and snatched us back. Now, even a little girl is trying to squeeze my surplus value..."

Ash couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand: "Isn't the concentration of bad women a bit too high tonight?"

…

In the Blood Moon Kingdom, on the outskirts of Kaimon City.

At this time, Freya had already put on her clothes. She changed Selina into clean clothes. She looked at this thin doll girl with eyes full of pity. A circle of blood-forged shackles was tightly wrapped around Selina's neck, declaring her identity as an outsider.

"Are you still feeling cold? Do you want to put on another layer of clothes?"

"Thank you, sister." Serena showed a flattering smile: "I'm much better now, no need to trouble you, sister."

"It's no trouble at all..."

"Freya, come out for a moment." Adela's voice came from outside.

Freya looked at Serena, only to find that the doll girl's eyes were moist with mist, and her eyes showed fear and desire. But her crystal lips trembled slightly, but she didn't say a word.

The Veela's heart almost melted. She adjusted the position of the light and put Serena in a more comfortable position. "I'll be out for a while. I'll be outside. Don't worry."

"Yes." The doll girl nodded heavily: "I'll wait for you."

Freya left the tent and walked with Adela to the river farther away and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Isn't it time to inform the church?" Adela folded her hands and said, "You also saw the blood collar. She is from a foreign land, just like the foreign invaders who caused the 422 incident. She is the source of the disaster!"

"She is just a poor person who fell into the void passage while escaping!" Freya said fiercely, "She can't be a spy from another country. Who would send a girl with no hands or feet who even needs help to move to explore a foreign land?"

"Who knows whether what she said is true or not..."

"But her body cannot be faked, as you have seen. There must be a barbaric and ignorant country in this world that worships a girl who has lost her limbs as sacred and treats puppets that can be manipulated at will as statues... She managed to escape from that hell with great difficulty, how can we just send her back to hell like this?"

"The church might send her to an orphanage—"

"Adela, have you ever seen even one physically or mentally handicapped child in the orphanage?"

Adela remained silent. In the Blood Moon Kingdom, babies born with disabilities had no right to breathe. Children with acquired disabilities could recover their limbs with the help of medical staff, but the wounds on Serena's limbs had become round and smooth like jade, which was beyond the scope of what medical staff could solve.

"So what are you going to do? Give her a crash with a robotic prosthesis?"

"Not yet. She's too young. Installing a mechanical prosthesis will greatly restrict her growth..."

"What do you mean?"

Adela grabbed Freya's shoulders fiercely: "You don't want to raise her, do you?"

Freya avoided her gaze: "But she needs care..."

"That's a human being, a minor at that, not a cat or a dog!" Adela gritted her teeth and said, "It's fine if we don't report the foreigners we met. Citizens don't have the obligation to hunt down foreigners. But raising minors is different. Even raising minors from foreign countries will violate the Bloodline Prohibition Law. Only the orphanages under the jurisdiction of the church have the right to raise minors!"

"And have you taken the custody certificate exam? Have you ever interned in a custody home? Ordinary people who want to work in a custody home have to go through a series of training and exams before they can get a certificate. Not everyone can raise a child! How can you raise a minor when you don't even know how to raise yourself!"

"I will learn."

"Why don't you make sense?" Adela was going crazy: "You are a veela, you only do it to men, how come I don't know that veela can also do it to girls?!"

“It’s fate.”

Adela was startled.

Freya said seriously: "It just so happens that we met her. It just so happens that Serena is a foreigner who must be taken care of. It just so happens that most people in the Blood Moon Kingdom are unfriendly to her... I'm not being kind, but in the Blood Moon, only I can save her."

"If I do nothing, she will die." The Veela whispered, "My heart is too fragile to bear even the slightest guilt."

Adela sighed. She felt that she had sighed more in recent days than in the past ten years.

"But if someone reports you, you're breaking the law."

"What are you afraid of? This isn't the first time I've broken the law—"

"I can't ignore that, young ladies."

A vicissitudes of life voice suddenly came from the side. They trembled and slowly turned their heads.

The blood moon was dim at this time, and they could only see a tall man wearing a blood-mad hunter uniform appearing on the other side of the river.

"What other crimes have you committed?" the hunter asked kindly. "If you confess now, the Hunting Bureau will offer a discount. If you are detained for 30 days, 15 days will be deducted."

"Does it count if I... downloaded pirated videos?" Freya said as she backed away, then rushed into the tent and picked up Selena, but when she came out, she saw the hunter standing in front of the tent.

Under the dim moonlight, he seemed like the king who ruled the night, the demon who controlled life. His pair of scarlet eyes became the brightest light. A strong sense of oppression came over him. Freya could still resist, but Adela was so scared that she collapsed on the river pebble road.

"I received a notice from the church saying that someone from a foreign land has come to the Blood Moon through the virtual passage..." The hunter looked at the doll girl wearing a Blood Moon collar in the arms of the Veela: "She looks so pitiful..."

"She is not a spy from a foreign land!" Freya's voice trembled as she protected Selina tightly: "You don't have to--"

"Of course not."

The hunter laughed and said, "Just now, the virtual realm passage upstream has dissipated. Even if she has a backup plan set up by the foreign magician, it is now completely useless."

Freya's eyes lit up: "Then——"

"But according to the law, all foreigners must die."

The hunter put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and his voice suddenly turned cold. Selina seemed to sense the cold murderous intent, and she arched her back in Freya's arms in fear.

Freya wanted to run away, but her legs were too weak to move, and not kneeling was already wasting the courage that a certain cult leader had left in her.

"Is this blood moon really... so barbaric and cruel?" Freya closed her eyes: "Perhaps I should have gone with them..."

"Interesting." The hunter laughed, "Even if I didn't kill her, she wouldn't be able to survive. The foster home won't accept foreigners without a chip implanted. It's illegal for ordinary people to raise minors. She doesn't have any ability to live independently. Although the Blood Moon Kingdom is big, there is no place for her."

"I'll take care of her."

"Even if I don't arrest you, can you guarantee that you will hide her well? Will your neighbors and landlord not find out anything? Your kindness is commendable, but your act of kindness was just impulsive."

"Then are we just going to watch her die?"

"There is another way."

The hunter suddenly reached out and snatched the puppet girl from the Veela's hands.

"Then I will raise her."

Freya was stunned. She and Adela looked at each other. These two knowledgeable female college students had the same idea - copper smelting!

"Don't get me wrong." The hunter seemed to know what they were thinking. "I'm busy with work and I'm basically not at home. I'll probably hire someone to take care of her. If you want, you can come and take care of her, and by the way, supervise me to see if I'm abusing her."

"Aren't you afraid of being reported?"

"No worries." The hunter smiled, "Because I'm a blood-crazed hunter, not a powerless college student."

The Veela was about to say something when her friend called out softly, "Freya."

Freya looked at Adela and saw fear and pleading in her eyes. She was shocked and knew that she could no longer be willful. She could not drag Adela into the whirlpool because of her stubbornness.

Freya sighed and asked, "But I still don't understand. You are not only a blood-crazy hunter, but also a blood saint, right? Adopting foreign minors has violated many laws... Why did you do this?"

The Blood Saints were the most law-abiding, and the Moon Shadows were the most kindhearted. This was common knowledge among the people of the Blood Moon Kingdom. However, the Blood Crazy Hunter who appeared in front of Freya completely broke this perception - he actually dared to actively trample on the rules set by the Blood Moon Lord.

"Yeah, why do you do this... I'm also looking for the answer."

The hunter's tone was a little vague: "Perhaps it's because I know that the Blood Saints have their limits, so I need to surpass them. Or maybe... I was also bewitched by that man."

He looked at the puppet girl he was leading and said, "Little boy, I will be your guardian from now on. Why don't you introduce yourself?"

Serena looked very unhappy. She had finally bewitched that stupid woman. After settling down, it would not be difficult to manipulate her to re-establish the Four Pillars Sect here. But this man was much more difficult to deal with. Moreover, Serena had a vague feeling that although this man was looking at her, his eyes were chasing after a phantom that she did not know.

Damn it, first I met Ash Hiss, and then I met this hunter. Isn’t the concentration of bad guys tonight too high?

"Serena Bright," she said, trembling.

At this time, the blood moon broke through the dark clouds, and the scarlet moonlight illuminated the hunter's weathered face and his gray hair.

"I'm Gerald Westminster, Hunter number 307791." The hunter said, "It's nice to meet you, Serena. I have a feeling we'll get along well."
