He let out a cold snort and finally changed his posture, using the free hand to pass through from behind her calf, and carried her horizontally in front of his chest.
Finally got the desired posture, and her neck was also liberated. Cynthia let out a long sigh, and her tight back relaxed in his arms.
"Could you... take me to the town of Talmoria?" she asked tentatively, clutching the pouch at her waist, "I can pay you."
Kairos was walking towards his residence, looking at her with a cold expression, "Money?"
She was valuable to him only as Luka's sister and that faint kindness had touched him.
"Ah, okay." Cynthia smoothed out the strands of hair stuck to her face and picked up the pouch at her waist, looking a bit embarrassed as she said: "This is what my brother prepared for me, gold coins that have been blessed with holy water and prayers."
"Although I want to give it to you, but..." She carefully raised her eyes and found that Kael was looking at her, then blushed and lowered her head again. "But you shouldn't use...it will hurt you, so I'll go to the town to exchange for other money for you."
"This is all I have left..." Cynthia looked at his chest, seeing that he had no intention of speaking, her voice getting lower and lower, tears welling up again. "Can't you take a little less?"
Caius suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes narrowing, "Injured? Me?"
Cynthia nodded vaguely.
Caius corrected her very sternly, "This kind of thing will not happen to me."
Divine Light Progress: 5%
Cynthia: ...? ? ? Are you sure?
If it was just a coincidence once or twice, this time she had enough reason to suspect that the young man in front of her was hiding the Spirit of Light.
Otherwise, why is the progress bar growing around him!?
But why is it that the young man who was cursed by darkness has an unbreakable relationship with the God of Light?!
Cynthia felt a severe headache and clearly understood that she absolutely could not leave him.
It's really too dangerous for one person to be alone in Tamriel.
Caius remained where he was, waiting for Cynthia's answer.
Just as he was about to lose his patience, she cooperatively said: "I understand."
"Can you give me a discount?"
Caius was extremely puzzled as to why he had given her the wrong impression that he was poor, and suddenly said in a violent tone, "I want it all."
Cynthia: ...
This person is really strange.
"Oh." She lowered her head and sniffled dejectedly.
That's perfect, she has a legitimate reason to stick herself by his side.
No matter what kind of intricate connection he has with the God of Light, as long as the progress bar is rising, there's no problem.
But after a while, Cynthia started shaking again.
The temperature in the forest at night was really frighteningly low, and she didn't know if Kayrus was intentionally torturing her. Although he was strolling along, he could flash far away in just a few steps. The strong wind hit her body, plus her wet clothes, she was really going to freeze to death.
"Mr. Kayus." Cynthia strained to get closer to his chest, her voice shaking all over, "Can we stop for a bit? It's really cold."
She's really annoying.
Caius frowned and looked at her with great displeasure.
"I need a bonfire." Cynthia said, rubbing her scalp: "I'm really freezing stiff."
The wound hurts like hell! Has he never been in contact with a woman before? Why is there such a rude person?!
Cynthia really wanted to scold him, but her face still had to wear a wronged expression.
This extreme contrast makes her feel like she can win another Best Actress award again.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a warm current flowing from head to toe.
The damp hair was instantly dried, the sticky clothes had all the steam run out of them, and even some torn mouths scratched by branches were repaired.
This was Cynthia's first close encounter with such a mysterious divine technique.
She didn't dare raise her head to look at Kael's face, afraid that he would notice something was off due to the novelty in her eyes.
"Thank you." Cynthia grasped his shirtfront, her expression serious as she thanked him.
Before dawn broke, she was taken to a city-state in Tamriel.
Cynthia stifled a yawn, mustering up her spirits as they arrived in this chaotic vassal state. She clutched the pouch of gold coins tightly, "Should I go exchange them for you now?"
Before Kael could respond, she continued, "Can't you really leave me some? I have nowhere to live."
Caius still ignored her, Cynthia continued, "Or... can you take me in for a while? My brother will definitely come back to pick me up."
He suddenly put the person down, "We're here."
Cynthia was taken aback.
He didn't plan on abandoning her anyway.
Was it because her sad story worked?
She gazed at the stairs in front of her, which led directly to the second floor.
Kairos went up first, trampling the wooden stairs with a creaking sound. He was already thinking about when Luo Jia would come to pick her up and couldn't wait to smash people's skulls.
Cynthia followed Kael up the stairs and into a simply decorated room.
It was still dark outside and inside it was too dark. Cynthia kicked against the corner of the table and let out a cry of surprise.
A lamp suddenly lit up, and Kael placed the kerosene lamp on the table. The dim light softened his facial features, making him look less icy and intimidating.
"Is this your home?"
Xin Si Ya suddenly looked at Kai Er Si with a pitiful gaze, this decoration is simply described as "home is better than nothing".
The bedroom has only one bed, a wardrobe and a table. Even the bathroom door is broken with a hole in it.
Suddenly understanding the meaning in her eyes, Kael's face sank, and a layer of frost almost formed in his eyes.
" Warehouse." He explained with some gritted teeth.
Cynthia put on an understanding expression and comforted him instead, "It's all right, Mr. Kaelus, it's reasonable for you to ask me for so many gold coins, you're so good, you should have a better family environment."
She untied the gold coins from her waist and placed them on the table, smiling at him, "Tomorrow morning I'll exchange the gold coins and send them to you, just hope you let me live here for a few more days."
"I can do laundry and cook." Cynthia added another sentence for herself, being very considerate.
Of course she could be certain he would never actually let her do it.
"Whatever." Caius felt himself getting angrier, he turned around intending to disappear in front of her immediately, but Cynthia added another sentence that made him put his foot down.
"You're a good man, Mr. Kayus."
Cynthia sat down at the table, pinching her hem pitifully and said: "You can stay and sleep, I won't take up too much space, don't go sleep in the corridor, it's not safe outside."
