The second day of February.
Allen's martial arts school officially opened.
There are at least hundreds of martial arts schools on Silver Moon Island.
Martial arts schools have nice names, but they are actually mostly violent gangs.
It is not easy for immigrants to gain a foothold on Silver Moon Island.
Violent groups are particularly prone to causing grudges and disputes.
The world of martial arts cannot rely solely on fighting and killing, but also requires the use of human relationships and worldly wisdom.
Allen knew that he was too young and lacked prestige.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of opening a martial arts school, he invited friends and guests, showed off his connections, and deterred those with bad intentions.
Sora and Anqi, mother and daughter, invited many of their relatives.
When Allen's family first settled on Silvermoon Island, they received a lot of care from the Case family.
Although Madam Keith's status was not impressive enough, she was still seated in the VIP seat.
The truly important guests all come from the Silver Moon Monastery.
The most important one among them is incredible...
Height: less than 1.4 meters!
The weight is as much as 70 kilograms!
This important guest is Alan’s master.
The head of the Cat Academy is Master Shiva, the "White Tiger Martial Lord".
Master Shiva was arrogant and aloof by nature and seldom participated in social events. He could not resist Alan's constant persuasion and finally made an exception and agreed to attend the banquet.
However, she also had a condition.
Come to the feast in human form and keep a low profile.
"I'm only here to drink, and I won't reveal my identity to save trouble."
"You don't need to introduce your relatives, friends, and guests to me."
"If anyone asks, just say, I am your..."
Master Shiva was still pondering, but Alan had already thought of an excuse for her.
"Your human form looks like a little girl of eight or nine years old."
"Even if I say you are my master, outsiders won't believe it."
"Why not just go with the flow and announce to the public that you are my goddaughter? No one will get suspicious. What do you think?"
" ...I think you are itching for trouble!" Loli Wu Zun angrily scolded his unworthy disciple: "I am your teacher, and you actually want to be my father?!"
"Teacher, this is just a temporary solution, don't take it seriously!" Alan hurriedly comforted Baihu Wu Zun to avoid being beaten.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the banquet arrived, and Master Shiva kept his promise and arrived.
The person came, but his mind was not very clear.
She had already started drinking on the airship.
After getting off the airship, the silver-haired loli was drunk and drowsy, and she was staggering.
Renee had no choice but to carry her into the banquet hall.
Tigress Leni is tall-framed and broad-boned.
Her devilishly sexy body is comparable to the so-called "meat bombshell" in the fashion magazines in Allen's previous life.
She is obviously a 19-year-old girl, but against the backdrop of the petite Shiva, she looks like a beautiful young woman carrying her daughter on her back.
If Alan hadn't recognized them, he would probably have mistaken them for a mother and daughter!
"Teacher Shiva is particularly fond of Junior Sister Renee."
Maria broke the news to Alan in a low voice.
"I thought the teacher appreciated Renee's simplicity and kindness."
"Later I found out that it was because she was chosen because she was hard-working, diligent and obedient, and therefore suitable to be her nanny!"
In addition to the three sworn brothers and sisters, two senior brothers, Baker and Hogg, whom Allen met when picking herbs before, also came to show their support.
While chatting, Baker and Hogg also revealed a piece of news.
The Silver Moon Monastery is about to open a secret realm of time. All disciples of the three academies, regardless of whether they are from the inner or outer sect, can enter the secret realm and practice for two years as long as their contribution to the sect meets the standards.
The speed of time flow in the Silver Moon Secret Realm is the same as that in the South Island Warlock Academy Secret Realm, four times the time rate.
Two years in the secret realm is only equivalent to half a year in the outside world.
After attending the banquet, Baker and Hogg planned to cross the ocean, sneak into Red Moon Island, and assassinate an elder of the Beast Cult.
If one can successfully complete the task, the reward for contribution to the sect will be enough to obtain a place in the secret realm for cultivation.
"Junior Brother Allen, do you have enough points?" Hogg asked.
"There's still a long way to go." Alan said truthfully.
Most of the contributions to the sect obtained by submitting the tofu formula were used to exchange for various awakening agent formulas, and the remaining ones were not enough to redeem the places for secret realm training.
"Then you have to hurry up!" Baker took over the conversation, "Do you want to team up with us and go to Red Moon Island to carry out the mission together?"
Alan shook his head and declined.
The martial arts school had just opened, and he had a lot of things to do, so he really couldn't spare the time to accompany the two of them on the mission.
…
Bang!
When the atmosphere of the banquet was getting lively, the door was suddenly kicked open.
Alan, who was toasting, turned calmly and looked towards the door.
His eyes fell on the uninvited guest who broke into the room, and he was startled.
"Hehehe...the person who should have come didn't come. Are you surprised, Master?"
A red-haired young man in a black robe walked in with a sneer.
The robe was embroidered with a red moon pattern and the holy emblem of a bat hung on the chest.
"My name is Andrew, and I'm from Red Moon Island."
Under the vigilant gaze of the guests, the red-haired young man began to introduce himself.
"Mr. Andrew, I don't think I invited you to the party." Alan said coldly.
"It's true that the owner didn't invite me, but that's not important."
Andrew smiled with a forced smile.
"My Lord Charon, you have sent down divine revelation and guided me here. In addition to congratulating the owner, I have one more thing to do."
"I have a good-for-nothing brother named Charles, who disappeared in your town some time ago."
"It is said that the owner is the most powerful person in town, so he must be well-informed."
"Can you tell me where Charles is?"
When Maria heard the name Charles, her face darkened and she tried to stand up and take over the conversation.
Alan quickly winked at her, indicating that he would take care of everything.
Maria hesitated for a moment, but finally sat back silently.
Andrew noticed the eye contact between the two, sneered, and returned his gaze to Alan.
"I have specially prepared a gift for today's event. I believe it will be a pleasant surprise for the owner of the museum."
As he spoke, he took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from his storage bag and placed it on the table with a smile.
As soon as you open the lid, a pungent smell of blood wafts out!
Inside the box was a bloody head.
The deceased had a blue face and a moustache.
His eyes were wide open, with fear lingering in his pupils.
People around him, including Alan, recognized him.
The deceased was the pirate Captain Crabbe!
Crabbe, a late-stage third-order crab warlock, has a group of fierce pirates under his command.
Neither personal strength nor the power under control should be underestimated.
At the beginning, Alan had to borrow the power of Silver Moon Monastery to subdue Crabbe with great difficulty.
The pirate captain was beheaded!
How strong is this Andrew?
In the blood-filled hall, guests were talking in low voices.
"Hehe... Sorry for scaring everyone."
Andrew, who came to provoke, was still smiling and graceful.
"You may wonder why I would send you such a depressing gift."
"To be frank, I'm helping the owner solve his problem!"
There was a lot of noise in the hall, and people's eyes were filled with confusion.
Andrew looked around at everyone and whetted their appetite before revealing the answer.
"I heard that someone secretly bribed Crabbe to pretend to come and challenge him."
"According to the script, after Crabbe's provocation, he challenged the gym owner in front of all the distinguished guests."
"Our master, after enduring so much, finally couldn't help but teach this ungrateful fellow a lesson."
"After a fierce fight, the gym owner defeated Crabbe beautifully."
"Crabbe accepted his defeat wholeheartedly. In front of everyone, he confessed his ignorance and begged for forgiveness from the owner."
"The magnanimous Master will certainly forgive him."
"After all, that's what the script says!"
"Through this pre-rehearsed kick-out, the owner of the martial arts school established his authority in public and also gave the martial arts school a great advertisement."
"Those ignorant fools who don't know the inside story, seeing the master's strength and the martial arts school's foundation with their own eyes, won't they praise him highly?"
Andrew smiled faintly, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"I killed the actor who challenged the club in advance. Does the club owner like this gift?"
"Oh! Look at your face. Could it be that my good intentions have caused more trouble than good?"
"Master, maybe I misunderstood your script?"
"If I said something wrong or lied, could you point it out to me in person?"
"I'll change it, isn't that okay?"
Alan said nothing.
Silence is tantamount to consent.
Admit that he and Crabbe did plan a "kick-out" drama in advance.
He planned to use this eye-catching performance to build a reputation for the newly opened martial arts school.
This approach is a good idea from a business perspective.
But it would be a bit embarrassing once it was exposed in public!
Allen could deny it.
However, since Andrew came to provoke and expose the matter, he might have a backup plan.
If he denies it here, and Andrew presents hard evidence, it will prove that he lied in public and his reputation will be ruined.
Alan pondered in silence, thinking about how to break the dilemma.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall became increasingly tense.
Everyone in the Silver Moon Monastery remained calm.
After all, Maria and other three chief disciples are present, and they are there to hold up the sky if it falls.
As for the loli-form White Tiger Martial Lord, only Allen, Renee and Maria knew her identity, and others just treated her as a child brought by their parents to a feast.
Not everyone can keep calm.
Allen's relatives and friends in the town, especially the visitors from the Case family, were furious.
They all stood up, rubbing their hands, ready to drive away Andrew, the unlucky star!
"Hey hey! Are you guys going to use force?"
Andrew pretended to be scared and clapped his hands three times.
Bang bang bang!
The crisp applause suppressed the crowd's angry rebukes.
A strong wave of magical power was set off in the hall, and a circle of glowing magic appeared on the ground.
Nine figures teleported over collectively and appeared side by side behind Andrew.
All nine of them wore black robes with red moons and wore the emblem of the god of death.
Andrew stopped pretending and spread out his hands with a smile.
"Please allow me to introduce my fellow apprentices."
"Six of them are not very skilled in their craft and are in the late third stage of their cultivation."
"There are three others who are as useless as me, in the early stage of the fourth stage."
"I'm sorry to make you all laugh."
In the hall, the angry shouts suddenly stopped, and for a moment it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
At the Case family table, the guests who had originally stood up and slammed the table with anger on their faces quietly sat back and pretended that it had nothing to do with them.
"What exactly do you want to do by gathering here to cause trouble?" Alan asked in a deep voice.
Andrew smiled and said slowly:
"You wrote a good script. It would be a shame if you didn't perform it."
"People like Crabbe are not qualified to be the villain. Why don't we brothers take Crabbe's place and perform in this good show for free?"
"The owner of the hall might as well select ten of his favorite disciples and give us a good beating."
"You beat us so hard that we had to tumble and crawl away in disgrace. This not only entertains the guests, but also shows off your majesty. Isn't that a good thing?"
"Come on, owner! The actors are already in place, let's begin!"
Andrew's provocation intensified the tension in the hall.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Allen, with different expressions.
Some people expect him to resolve the crisis, while others gloat over his misfortune.
Under the watchful eyes of the public and at the center of the storm, Allen suddenly smiled faintly and said to Andrew:
"It doesn't take ten people to deal with a bunch of scum like you."
"The youngest female disciple in my martial arts school can easily defeat all of you."
"Really? I don't believe it!"
Andrew crossed his arms over his chest, smiling.
"Master, you are the one who said it, please bring out that female disciple who can beat ten of us!"
"Well... I don't think it's necessary." Alan hesitated. "It's a happy day, fighting and killing will spoil the fun. Why don't we each take a step back -"
“That won’t do!!”
Andrew interrupted him and laughed even more wildly.
"You've blown your own trumpet, and you're still trying to find a way out?"
"There is no such a good deal in the world!"
Andrew's fellow junior students also sneered and joined in mocking Alan.
"At this point, you can no longer be a coward!"
"Hurry up and invite out your female disciple who is fighting ten people alone!"
"We have no other intentions, we just want to broaden our horizons!"
You speak, I speak, every word is sharp and merciless.
Alan sighed, as if accepting his fate.
"You asked for this, you can't blame me."
He turned around and walked up to the little loli who was yawning while holding a wine bottle.
Reach out and ruffle the little loli's silky silver hair.
"My dear, wake up! Someone is here to mess things up!"
"Hurry up and teach those ignorant guests a lesson for your godfather!"
The little silver-haired loli rolled her eyes.
He slapped his hand away and stood up with the bottle of wine.
Staggering and drunk, he walked towards Andrew and others.
"A good beating, huh?"
"Crawling and rolling, huh?"
"This is the first time I've heard of such a request from you."
The little Loli burped and suddenly disappeared on the spot!
The next moment, he appeared in front of Andrew and others.
The petite and exquisite figure flashed and teleported continuously!
The speed is so fast that it exceeds the limits of human vision!
It seemed to split into ten identical figures, rushing towards Andrew and others at the same time.
Andrew and his nine fellow apprentices were all shocked!
The little girl was so fast that they had no time to dodge or even blink!
The fifth-level martial arts of the Silver Moon School—the Hundred-Splitting Kick!
BANG!!
The dull sound of impact echoed in the hall.
Andrew and his nine fellow apprentices have disappeared without a trace.
Shiva kicked them all out of the door one by one!
Master Shiva kicked out ten times in a flash, and ten sonic booms exploded almost at the same time, eventually superimposing into a roar that echoed endlessly.
The whole audience was silent.
Is this fierce little silver-haired girl really the female disciple of Panthers Martial Arts School and the goddaughter of the owner Allen?
People's hearts were filled with suspicion and shock!
Alan thanked Baihu Wuzun with his eyes and strode out the door.
Six bodies were lying in the courtyard.
None of the six third-stage death sorcerers could withstand Wu Zun's kick and they died on the spot!
Andrew and three early fourth-level warriors were seriously injured and dying. They struggled to cast a teleportation spell and managed to save their lives.
In fact, this was all thanks to Master Shiva being half drunk.
In loli form, her physique is weak and her fighting power is far inferior to that of tiger man form.
Not to mention compared with the peak form of "Tiger Head Sky"!
In that move of "A Hundred Kicks in the Air" just now, he had only used less than 50% of his strength.
Alan looked at the corpse in the yard and was deeply shocked.
It seems that I still have a lot to learn from my "goddaughter".
…
After stretching his fists and feet a little, Master Shiva sobered up.
Thinking of that stupid and useless apprentice who actually took advantage of me in public.
Not only does he stroke the teacher's noble head like a cat, but he also treats her like his daughter. How outrageous!
So disrespectful! So disrespectful!
The White Tiger Martial Master became angrier the more he thought about it.
Under the pretext of teaching Alan martial arts, he locked Allen into the training room of the martial arts gym and locked the door.
A pair of pink fists were clenched with a crackling sound.
A sinister smile appeared on the pretty little face.
…
After a beating, Master Shiva felt relieved.
Sit cross-legged on the cushion and enjoy the massage service from the disciples.
Alan was beaten black and blue by her, but he still had to massage the teacher's shoulders and back and serve her diligently without daring to complain.
Master Shiva yawned loudly, revealing his white fangs.
"Alan, there is something I need to remind you. The people of Red Moon Island will not let you go."
"The bunch of stinky bats I chased away today will still cause trouble for you in the future."
"I can't always stay by your side as a babysitter. What are you going to do?"
"Disciple has no other choice but to study hard and improve his strength as quickly as possible," Alan replied with a wry smile.
Master Shiva frowned, pondered, and shook his head slightly.
"A high-level warlock of the Beast Cult, who has spent most of his life training madly in secret realms."
"If you want to protect yourself and improve your strength as quickly as possible, you must also rely on the secret realm."
"On the first day of April, the Silver Moon Secret Realm will be open."
"If you want to get a place to enter the secret realm for training, you need to accumulate enough contributions to the sect."
"Think of a solution yourself, don't delay your practice."
Alan nodded and took note of his master's warning, but deep down, he still had a slight resistance to the Secret Realm of Time.
Should I strive for a spot in the secret realm for cultivation?
It depends on the person.
As an ordinary disciple with mediocre talent, he has already faced the reality.
Knowing that no matter how hard he tried, he could never beat the genius, he simply gave up fighting for a place in the secret realm and became indifferent to fame and fortune.
Alan also wanted to be indifferent, but unfortunately he couldn't.
Firstly, he has too many enemies, and in order to protect his family, he has no time to lie down and do nothing.
Secondly, his talent has attracted the attention of the three abbots of Silver Moon Monastery.
The future of the monastery lies in talents, and Alan is a key target for cultivation.
Even if he wanted to lie down, Master Shiva would not allow him to waste his youth and talent.
"Be obedient, from today on, you are my personal disciple."
"If you don't listen and make me angry, I'll beat you up the next time I see you!"
"Two roads, choose for yourself!"
The cute and fierce silver-haired loli uses threats and inducements at the same time.
Allen couldn't resist and had to bite the bullet and join the army of involution.
…
It's late at night.
Master Shiva yawned and went back to the guest room to take a bath.
Renee acted like a nanny, accompanying Master Shiva in bathing, scrubbing her back and combing her hair.
After being busy for a while and helping his master fall asleep, he took some time to come find Alan.
"Junior brother, I heard that you haven't got a place to practice in the secret realm yet?"
"This is none of your business." Allen said calmly, "I can find a place myself. You don't need to worry about it. Go to bed early."
But Leni was always nosy, and said excitedly:
"Junior brother, you probably don't know that the quota can actually be transferred!"
"For the past six months, I have been working in the kitchen and selling tofu recipes. I have saved all the contribution points I earned and was reluctant to spend them. Now it is just enough to exchange for a spot to enter the secret realm!"
"...So what?" Alan suddenly had an ominous premonition.
This silly girl, could it be that she wants to... ?
"Junior brother! I'll give you the spot so you don't have to waste your energy on the mission!" Leni said proudly.
"I've already told you, don't worry about it!"
Alan avoided her sincere gaze and felt a flutter in his heart.
Compared to a naive girl like Renee, he is not a good guy, but he is not selfish enough to suck Renee's blood with a clear conscience.
Renee was not surprised by his cold attitude, and patiently persuaded him to accept the gift, as if she was coaxing a willful baby.
"Junior brother, I did this not to make you owe me a favor, but to get rid of a trouble."
"Even if it's for me, you have to accept this place. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to my family!"
"What happened? Tell me in detail!"
Alan heard that there was something wrong and immediately became interested.
…
Renee's troubles are related to her family and a failed engagement.
The Cochise family, to which Renee was born, had seen its bloodline decline, and was forced to switch to business, specializing in candy and snack shops, and their business was booming.
Renee is the eldest granddaughter of the third generation of the family. She has mediocre qualifications as a warlock and has not shown a shrewd mind for business, so naturally she is not valued by her elders.
In recent years, he had a chance encounter and, with inexplicable luck, successfully entered the Silver Moon Monastery, and was even accepted as an inner-court disciple by Master Shiva.
In a letter to her family, Renee boasted about her good luck and planned to enter the Silver Moon Secret Realm to practice, and would not be able to go home to visit her family for some time.
As a result, this quota attracted the covetousness of some people...
Renee once had a fiancé named Phoebus.
Six years ago, Phoebus was just a street kid.
He was found to have superior dragon vein talent and was adopted by the Cochise family, who regarded him as a promising talent.
The hungry and cold street life shaped his unscrupulous character.
Phoebus knows that this opportunity is rare, so he must climb up at all costs!
In order to change his fate and obtain resources for cultivation, he pursued Renee madly.
He chose Renee as his target because he could see that she was the most innocent and simple among all the young ladies of the Cochise family, and the easiest to pursue.
That's his street experience.
Not long after, Phoebus became Renee's fiancé as he wished.
At that time, he was just a son-in-law with no status at all.
Renee never discriminated against her fiancé who came from the lower class of society.
Apart from refusing to have sex with him before marriage, she would grant his every request for money.
He even gave all the cultivation resources allocated to him by the family to Phoebus.
Through Renee, Phoebus obtained a large amount of magic stones and a letter of recommendation for further study at the North Island Warlock Academy.
The North Island Warlock Academy is the base camp of the Dragon Vein Warlocks, and is perfect for Phoebus to study.
After entering the academy, Phoebus quickly found his place in the society.
At first, he corresponded with Renee, but later he met a new love in college, a girl from a wealthy family who was richer than Renee.
Naturally, he became fickle and became increasingly indifferent to Renee.
Two years ago, Phoebus sent Renee his last letter, clearly expressing his intention to break off the engagement.
Renee wrote back overnight, trying to win back her fiancé's heart.
However, from then on, Phoebus stopped replying to her letters and cut off all contact with her.
Maybe it's just that evil will be punished by evil.
Phoebes' girlfriend at North Island College, whose father lost power in the power struggle and was forced to offer his daughter to a big boss from the rival faction in order to survive.
Phoebus was so angry that he proposed to elope with his girlfriend.
He never expected that his girlfriend was more realistic than him.
Decisively abandon him and throw yourself into the arms of the big boss.
Phoebus offended a big boss and was suppressed in the academy, with no hope for his future.
He returned to his hometown in disgrace, crying bitterly, and kneeling down to beg for forgiveness from Renee's grandfather.
After all, Phoebus is a talented and promising young man.
The current patriarch of the Cochise family and Renee's grandfather is unwilling to be a candy merchant and dreams of restoring his family's former glory.
In order to revitalize the family, genius is indispensable!
The small temple of the Cochise family cannot support a great god, so Phoebus is the only seedling worth cultivating.
The patriarch believes that he is taking the overall situation into consideration and does not care about personal honor or disgrace. All his decisions are for the purpose of reviving the family!
Therefore, he thought he had reason to ask his granddaughter to put aside the past grudges and continue to play the role of a tool to win over Phoebus.
Upon learning that Renee was appreciated by Master Shiva and accepted as an inner court disciple, he wanted to use her connections to recommend Phoebus to join the Silver Moon Monastery.
Even...grandfather asked Renee to give the opportunity to enter the secret realm for training to Phoebus!
Objectively speaking, Phoebus's talent is much stronger than Renee's.
For the long-term sake of family rejuvenation, it is necessary to spend precious resources wisely.
Renee is a member of the Cochise family.
In her grandfather’s eyes, she and her place in the secret realm were also “resources” that the family could control.
Renee was unwilling to give up everything she had fought so hard for.
She was unwilling to accept the unfaithful man and let him eat her "old grass".
She is kind, but not stupid!
She is gentle, but not cowardly!
Renee was very unhappy with her family's decision, but it was difficult for her to directly reject her grandfather's arrangement, so she came up with a compromise.
"Instead of giving the spot to a heartless man, I'd rather give it to you, Junior Brother Allen!" Renee said angrily.
"Leni, I really don't understand your way of thinking."
Alan turned around and flicked her on the forehead.
"It's true that unfaithful men are hateful, but I didn't treat you well either, and even called you a 'silly girl'. Why would you repay evil with kindness?"
"Brother Allen, you are different from Phoebus!"
Renee hesitated to speak.
What is the difference between the ex-boyfriend and Allen?
Her intuition told her that her ex-boyfriend was trying to disguise his selfish nature with sweet words, while Alan, on the contrary, had been using cold words to cover up his inner enthusiasm.
Unfortunately, she is not good at speaking and cannot express what is in her mind accurately in words.
"Silly girl, what do you think?" Alan asked Renee casually while lying on the bed with his arms under his head.
"I don't want to get back together with Phoebus. This is my bottom line. However, I don't dare to contradict my grandfather directly..."
"so what?"
"So, I want you to accompany me home and refuse grandfather's request for me."
Renee knelt beside the bed and said confidently.
Alan was stunned!
What kind of thing is it to eat melon and end up eating yourself? !
"Leni, please think carefully. This has nothing to do with me. Why should I stand up for you?"
As soon as Allen's anger rose, Renee put it out in an incredible way...
This silly girl, with her deer-like eyes , said seriously:
"Of course it's your business!"
"I'm your dog!"
"You have to look at the owner before you can beat a dog! If you don't help me, who else can I rely on?"
"No! Wait a minute!" Allen felt confused. "Let's start from the beginning... When did I accept you as my dog?"
"I told you I wanted to be your licker, and you didn't refuse!" Leni said confidently, "If you didn't refuse, you agreed!"
"…Is it too late for me to refuse now?"
Leni held onto the edge of the bed and shook her head firmly.
Alan held his forehead and sighed.
He was very busy right now, and it wasn't worth it for him to go all the way to the Cochise family for such a trivial matter.
Since Renee is so shameless that she insists on being his dog, let Renee write directly to her grandfather:
"I voluntarily sold myself to Master Shiva's disciple, and I am now the owner of the Panthers Martial Arts School. From now on, I will cut all ties with the Cochise family. Anyone who dares to disobey can come and find her master to argue!"
“That’s a great idea!”
Renee was very happy and immediately took out the stationery and letter paper.
She also took the initiative to draft a contract of sale, put her fingerprint on it, and then asked Allen to sign it to take over her personal property.
"I just made up an excuse to help you fool your family. Why did you take it seriously?" Alan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Leni rolled her eyes at him and gave her stupid master a serious and earnest advice:
"My grandfather is not stupid, and neither is Phoebus! How can I deceive them with just words?"
Renee handed him a pen and paper, and coaxed him with a smile.
"If you're going to act, you have to do it in its entirety!"
"Come on, sign your name and seal your name!"
"When we're done, I'll make you a delicious midnight snack, wash your feet, and warm your bed!"
Alan felt strange when he saw her impatient look.
"…Why do you make it seem like I'm selling my body?!"
