"Ling?

That's a good name. "The World Trembled paused for a moment before returning to its original state.

Although the name Ling Teng Shiro sounded too similar to his younger brother,

How could the Fu Mourning God be so full of demonic energy?

Even the fallen Komusubi had the 'divinity' of the Fu Mourning God.

"Uncle, you're so strange.

Ling is a surname.

Don't Japanese people put their surname first and their given name last?

Although the name Teng Shiro is very vulgar, it was given to me by my parents … "Ling, who was lying on Tianxia's back, was restless, and his little mouth could not stop talking.

"I think I'm good-looking. Why don't you call me brother? It feels weird to keep calling me uncle."

"Tsk.

Onii-chan, I don't want to call someone like you who I've only met once. "

Ling's house was not too far away.

The two of them chatted as they walked on the way back.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at a somewhat remote district after a few twists and turns.

It was already the wee hours of the morning.

The end of the sky was white like a fish belly. The neighborhood where Ling lived was a little shabby. The walls of the four-story building were half peeled off, and there were no lights in the corridor. It was so dark that they could not see the road clearly.

"The corridor is a little dark. Ask your parents to come down and take you back … I won't go up." In fact, Tianxia felt that if she carried Ling in, it was very likely that she would miss and cause secondary damage.

"… I live here alone." Ling's hands grasped Tianxia's clothes tightly.

His head was also buried in the other's back. His voice was very soft, so soft that only a vague outline could be heard.

"My parents died when I was very young … because they were ordinary people and did not have 'personality,' the government's subsidies were only enough for me to live until I was thirteen … I lived alone from a very early age."

The shabby building was filled with garbage. The surroundings were not empty, but it was exceptionally quiet. Occasionally, a few stray cats would run by and look for leftover food.

After saying this, Ling wanted to get down from The World Trembled.

However, this warm feeling made him reluctant to leave.

"Hold on tight.

It's too dark inside. I can't see the road clearly. "

The World Trembled pushed Ling, who had been sliding down her back, and walked into the dark corridor.

There was no light in this old neighborhood. Tianxia held on to Ling with one hand and held the wall with the other hand, and groped step by step to the end of the fourth floor... It was a small single room. Ling slid down from Tianxia's back, and took the key from the rope hanging hanging on his chest... Tianxia opened the door, and gestured Tianxia to go in with him.. Tianxia. Tianxia.. Tianxia was released....

It was a place of less than 20 square meters. There was only one room. Half of it was filled with kitchenware, a stove, and a small refrigerator. The other half was filled with cupboards and a foldable table. In the corner, there were all kinds of books and magazines. There were also clippings of job applications. There were only two windows in the room. One was next to the door where the kitchenware was placed, and the other was next to the bedding.

It was really a hot place in summer and cold in winter.

"There's nothing to entertain. Just have some water."

The two of them sat opposite each other. There were two glasses of water on the folding table in front of them. Looking at such a living environment, World was already very worried for Ling, but he could not say anything. After all, he still had other things to do. World, who did not plan to stay, did not want to stay to drink water.

"Since you're home safely, I won't stay here. I'll leave first."

"Wait a minute!

I remember the iron plate you asked me for. I do have an iron plate, but if you want it, you have to exchange it with me. "

Rise's words successfully stopped World Under Heaven in his tracks. He looked at Rise and asked him to continue, to tell him what he wanted in exchange for his conditions.

"It's the last thing my parents left me, so it's very precious … I want to use it to exchange for a chance to change my life. I want to have a family, I want to live in a big house, I don't want to work, I want to eat good food every day … and I want to go to school."

After saying this, Ling took out a piece of crumpled paper. The paper looked like it had been crumpled several times. On it was written 'Xiong Ying High School'.

"I was admitted to Xiong Ying High School last year, but because I didn't have enough money for the school fees, the government's subsidies weren't enough, and on top of that, I chose to give up. You don't look like an ordinary person, and the clothes you wear are made of material that only the rich can afford. I want you to help me go to school …" Ling lowered his head and handed the admission notice to The World Trembled. In his opinion, these requirements were too harsh. Although he knew where the iron plate Tianxia was talking about was, he couldn't take it out.

"Is that all?" Tianxia looked at Ling, whose head was almost under the table, and finally asked.

"Huh?"

"Is that all you want?"

Under the Heavens folded the acceptance letter in his hand and put it in his pocket. He looked at Ling with eyes that did not contain a trace of disgust towards greedy people. There was only helplessness and pity in his eyes.

"… I … Of course, you don't have to force yourself. Although I know where the iron plate is, it's very difficult to take it out. You can refuse me. After all, people like me have no one to rely on to survive …"

"I promise you."

"Huh?"

"I agree to your request, so it's late now. You should go to bed. I'll come and pick you up tomorrow."

While Ling was still in a daze, The World Trembled had already walked out of the house. In fact, Tianxia didn't know why she agreed to the child's request. The compass kept flashing, so the iron plate must be on the child. In this house, as long as she searched, she would definitely find it. There was no need for her to agree to such trivial matters.

She just thought that the child had the same size, appearance, and name as her younger brother. Such a child was sitting there with his head lowered. He was at an age where he could enjoy school life and the love of his family without any worries. He lived there alone, worrying about food and clothing every day. Even though he had good grades, he couldn't go to school due to financial problems. Such a child … was really heartbreaking.

Tianxia, who had forgotten to ask about the demon aura, rubbed her chest that felt suffocating from the moment she saw Ling. She began to think about how to fulfill Ling's request. The first thing she had to do was to solve the problem of money.
