Comic conventions are held in big cities and small counties...actually, they are quite common nowadays, the only difference is the number of people and the size. Some are sponsored by nationally renowned animation brands, while others are just small animation brands in the next village.

Yuan Yuanyuan is very interested in comic conventions, whether it is spending dozens of dollars to buy a lucky bag that costs four or five dollars, or buying a Sprite to exchange for a coloring drink... The life of ordinary people is too boring, and being able to go to a place where everyone is wearing "strange costumes" is a kind of spice in life.

However, as time goes by... Yuan Yuanyuan's interest in comic conventions is getting less and less. It's not because of anything else, she can wear strange clothes all day long even if she doesn't go to comic conventions, it just depends on whether she has this interest.

Yuan Yuanyuan turned off the chattering of the penguins discussing the comic convention and muted the sound to prevent their cell phones from disrupting the negotiations.

She had a headache in her head. Although she had come here and was ready to sign something, she didn't say that to the other party... She acted very reserved, as if she was hesitating.

After all...it's a rather sensitive identity now, anyway, I was quite vague in the message.

The woman in white only asked her to write a reply. She would reply if she agreed or not. She came here like this, without saying yes or no, so she came here like this.

Just act on the situation... What if that woman gets the upper hand? Give her a three-night stay...

In ancient times, Zen masters would practice it three times to show their support. If he agreed the third time, he wouldn’t look too anxious.

This was Yuanyuan's plan. She just wanted to see if the woman in white understood what she meant... To be honest, she didn't want to be targeted by the monsters outside. If this place could give her a place to hide her identity, she thought it would be great.

A few years ago, she was fearless and thought she didn’t have to worry about anything. Maybe she wouldn’t have signed this document then. However, after so many years, she has become quite experienced in this world... Over the years, her biggest feeling is that working alone will never be as good as working in a group.

Don’t you see that I was also wandering alone outside before, and was as miserable as my grandson for many years? But after coming to City C, my life became much better.

After sending the message to the other party, Yuan Yuanyuan waited for less than two minutes before she saw a woman in white walking over there. This speed was so fast that she even suspected that this woman had been waiting for her here for the past two days.

"Have you made up your mind? Are you ready to sign your name?" said the woman in white.

She didn't come alone, there were two little monsters following her, each with a small bun on their hair.

The time is now 4:30 in the morning. The sun has not risen yet and it is dark here. Yuan Yuanyuan was standing alone in the dark, leaning quietly against a street lamp that had long been broken due to age.

However, when this woman arrived, the place suddenly became bright.

There were two little monsters behind her, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the left was holding a small plate, and the one on the right was holding a lamp. The light from the lamp was azure blue, and in the dark night, it looked very strange and had an indescribable beauty.

The woman had very delicate makeup on her face, which did not look like modern makeup but rather like the ancient makeup in ancient scrolls. Combined with everything around her, she could only be described as a "midnight ghost".

Yuan Yuanyuan was so choked by her words that she almost forgot what she wanted to say.

Damn... Do you have to be so direct, sister? Isn't it normal to say a few words to ease the atmosphere first? Don't you realize that the atmosphere is very stiff?

She was wearing all black, standing under the dark street lights, and looked like a gangster. If she had a cigarette in her mouth, she would look even more like one...

Yuan Yuanyuan was thinking about how to turn this around. While she was thinking, the woman opposite her spoke again. She continued her first sentence with, "...or are you saying that, sir, you are not prepared to accept this condition?"

…

"Why do you think I would accept this condition?" said a man in black under the broken street light.

He was dressed entirely in black. The only color on his face was his face. Under the blue firelight surrounding him, it looked like transparent jelly.

Seeing the man in black looking at her, the woman in white took a deep breath and said to the back, "Bring it up."

The little monster holding the tray behind him immediately took the tray in his hand and the woman in white took it and presented it with both hands, "Please take a look."

The man in black who had always been called "Yuan" looked up and picked up the things on the tray. His brows wrinkled slightly, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on the white skin under his eyes.

"This is... the current contract for City C." The woman in white took a deep breath and said, "We don't know which category you should be classified into. Generally speaking, registration is to register your name under the name of a great monster, but we think that is not appropriate for you."

"So, we brought another contract over." The woman said, "It contains the names of all the local families in City C. All the families that have not been incorporated into the name of the great monster have a separate contract. We hope you will sign your name on this one."

Yuan took the contract, which looked very old. It was actually written on a piece of silk cloth. There were many names of noble families written on it.

Although C City is a mess, there are still some local families, just like in all other cities. Because C City has not always been so chaotic, the source of its chaos can be traced back to decades ago.

Some of these families are powerful, some are not so powerful. In order to protect these local monster families, they have their own contract. Their contract is different from that of the small monsters. They are not paying tribute to the big monsters. What they have to do is to protect the stability of City C.

Even those small families have been passed down for who knows how many years... Their contributions to City C are indelible. They may not be very powerful, but they are deeply rooted, and some of City C's daily life cannot be separated from them.

The woman in white discussed with many people for a long time yesterday before deciding to take this out today. She felt that the things on the contract were enough to move the big monster in front of her who had lived for who knows how many years.

Yuan read it bit by bit. There was no telling how many noble families in City C were recorded on the page. He flipped to the end and suddenly paused.

The woman in white suddenly sounded the alarm.

He saw it.

After a while, she heard Yuan on the other side say calmly, "What does this mean?"

There was no emotion in his voice, it was still very calm. The woman in white had no intention of seeing anything useful from his expression. After all, she knew that the big monster in front of her was an unparalleled spy.

His voice was very pleasant, even though it was so light. It was particularly magnetic and low. The woman in white had read a little about his biography in an unknown book on witchcraft.

It was vaguely mentioned that his voice was particularly pleasant and he could imitate a woman's voice perfectly and seamlessly, especially when he was singing a minor tune. Even the best singer at the time could not sing as well as he did.

With his good voice and wearing red clothes, he sneaked into the Taoist priest's place.

"As you can see." The woman bowed slowly. "We are going to record your name on this contract. It will not belong to any monster. We will open up a place just for you. From now on, you will be a noble family of City C."

When she spoke, she looked down and did not dare to look up.

In fact, she was also very panicked in her heart. She didn't know what the other person's attitude was towards the past, so this action was very risky.

I don’t know how long the silence lasted. The woman felt that it was too long, so long that she even found it difficult to breathe.

"...Okay, I'll sign."

The woman raised her head suddenly and looked at the man in front of her. His voice was very gentle.

…

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the roll of cloth and was stunned for a second.

The reason why she was stunned was simple...she saw a familiar name on it.

The appearance of this name was a bit unexpected, and it gave her goosebumps all over her body.

——Li Siqun.

...Four groups of children?

Wait... Is Siqun'er's surname Li? Isn't this focus wrong...

Yuan Yuanyuan saw it completely by accident. She herself did not expect to see this name, and the hair on her arms has not yet gone down.

That name was under a branch of the "Li" family and was very conspicuous... Why was it so conspicuous? Because in that Li family, only this name was crossed out with a pen.

Yuan Yuanyuan appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.

And they crossed out the name... What the hell, are you guys always pure Black? This isn't Harry Potter.

And what on earth did the cute Siqun do to cross out his name... This kid is the most listless person she has ever seen in her life, and he doesn't look like someone who likes to cause trouble at all.

She glanced at it and didn't see the name "Pear", so she quickly skipped it, fearing that the woman opposite her would notice something, although she seemed to be so frightened by Yuan Yuanyuan's sudden shock that she didn't dare to look up again.

Yuan Yuanyuan flipped all the way to the end before she saw the last line, which was the line the woman in white wanted her to see.

There was a newly opened branch, empty.

【Blood Jade Demon Army】

…

These four words are particularly eye-catching when placed next to other aristocratic families, and look like a joke.

Because there's nothing down there - nothing.

Compared with other noble families whose stories are at most one or two pages, or at least half a page... this page looks particularly shabby.

Even with the addition of a name - [Yuan], it still looks particularly shabby.

When she got home, Yuan Yuanyuan lay on the bed and thought for a long time. In the end, only one sentence popped into her mind.

A family that only has one person.

Why did it become like this... Actually, Yuan Yuanyuan is not a true Yiqi person. When she saw the board, her heart was blocked for a moment.

The emptiness is indescribable, especially when compared with the family trees that are almost full...

If this is really Yiqi, then it's really...tsk tsk.

This feeling was even more miserable. She agreed to sign because she thought this was already miserable enough. She couldn't think of a worse situation.

I wonder how other families feel after seeing the addition of such a noble family.

Yuan Yuanyuan rolled around on the bed and suddenly thought of something - Oh, by the way, I heard that the noble families will divide the land and have to bear part of the responsibility for City C. I wonder what that is.

There are four more groups... four groups... and their surname is Li?

Li Siqun? This name is... so rustic and cute.

What’s rustic is the name itself…what’s cute is the person himself.

If you haven't seen the real person... this name is just like Liu Cuihua and Niu Wanxia, ​​and now people can even praise it as rustic and cute...

Still has a good face.

Yuan Yuanyuan turned over and fell asleep.

Forget it... why bother asking about other people's affairs when you have nothing to do? Maybe they will say something that they can't even say out loud.

The sun rises outside, and it is a new day. The latest issue of "Dream Man" comes into the newspaper stand, and the man in white is glowing in the sun.

A female student passed by, glanced there casually, suddenly froze, and then slipped to the newspaper stand.

"Hey? My idol is used as the cover of today's comic?" The girl picked up the comic and took a look. "Did Mr. Ji Qiu finally give my idol a name?"
