Rui explained, “Uhh, umm, to tell you the truth, the Village Chief and the rest have asked people to come here several times. However, they lost their lives outside, and they did not manage to reach this place.”
“Is that so…” After hearing that people have died to save them, Kris evidently became a little depressed.
“They must have all turned into demons!” Kris wore a dejected expression, and her pair of bright pupils were covered with a layer of grey.
“…” Rui, who was an Assassin, did not know how to comfort someone else. His face reddened from suppressing himself, before he managed to utter a single sentence. “They’ll be fine. By my hands, they managed to obtain salvation. They will no longer be tortured.”
“Pfft…” After seeing Rui’s distressed expression, Kris could not help but smile. She sincerely looked at him in the eye, and said, “Thank you, I feel a lot better!”
“Umm, that’s good to hear.” Rui scratched his head, and said. “That will be all for today. I need to leave, but I will definitely resolve everything tomorrow.”
“Yes, I believe in you!” From Rui’s assuring look, Kris revealed a brilliant smile.
“Then, I will see you tomorrow.”
After waving goodbye to her, with the system counting down the last 10 seconds, he disconnected.

He took off his gaming headgear, opened his eyes, and stared at the ceiling above. It has been a while since he last got up. Although he did not know why, he was constantly thinking of the moment when Kris first appeared in his mind. She shockingly fell from the sky; she was emitting a powerful aura and was surrounded by a holy atmosphere. It allowed someone like him, who recently returned from the darkness for the first time, to feel an unusual warmth.
After lying down quietly for a long while, Rui touched his sticky body and felt unbearable. He then got out of his bed and went for a shower. He could not afford to get a heat stroke from this hot and sunny day.
After bathing in the ruthlessly cold water for a long while, Rui finally emerged out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.
He threw his dirty clothes into the washing machine and turned it on. He then changed into a set of new clothes before heading out to eat.
After eating Big Sis Qin’s specialty dishes, he decided to eat dinner there every night, and it was something like a habit he was trying to cultivate.
When he arrived at Big Sis Qin’s food stall, it was already opened, and there were even several people there.
Even though Big Sis Qin was busy, her brow revealed an indelible sadness. She was very sure that with Brother Kun’s personality, after being humiliated the day before, he would definitely hold a grudge.
However, she could not simply abandon this place. If she did, how would she make a living for both her daughter and herself? The only thing she could do was to pray that damn trash would leave this place for good after such a harsh lesson and never come back!
