Legends of Runeterra

"Uh... Although this may sound like chasing people away, Yang Ling, why are you..."

"Awoo~! Hehe~! Li En, "He" is thinking about how to ask you for payment!"

"remuneration?"

"Yes, although this amount of consumption is almost nothing for us, according to the rules of 'Mother', we must get the same 'remuneration'."

Yang Ling's voice came from under the mask, with a hint of helplessness and embarrassment.

"Uh, yes, of course! By the way, what exactly do you mean by 'reward'?"

"It's just a little bit of soul essence. Every time we guide a soul to the afterlife, the spirit will automatically leave a little bit behind.

Don't worry, this little bit of consumption is like losing a hair for you."

"'Soul Essence'? No problem, then how do I do it?"

"Li En, relax and just stand still,"

"Ok."

"Hoo~!"

After Li En finished speaking, a white mist rose and Li En's figure disappeared from the sight of Gregory standing beside him.

Without the slightest bit of nervousness, Li En opened his dark and bright eyes and looked at Yang Ling curiously, as if waiting for the other party to perform.

"Um... Li En, please close your eyes!"

"Ah? Okay..."

After seeing Li En close his eyes, Yang Ling placed his soft right hand on the mask and gently took it off.

A face that was well-behaved and somewhat cute, and completely inconsistent with the legendary god of death, was revealed.

With the mask resting on his chin, Yang Ling blinked his violet eyes and carefully confirmed that Li En did not try to open his eyes. Only then did he hang the mask around his waist with confidence.

"Hoo~!"

With a slight sigh of relief, Yang Ling took a step forward and walked in front of Li En, the two were less than a fist away from each other.

Standing on tiptoe, Yang Ling's cute face came in front of Li En.

"Suck~!"

As Yang Ling inhaled gently, a slight pulling sensation came.

With Li En's active cooperation, a dreamy smoke sparkling with colorful starlight rose from his body and floated towards Yang Ling.

This extremely special 'soul essence' fell on Yang Ling and merged into him, causing Yang Ling's entire body to tremble slightly involuntarily.

"Woo~!"

Yang Ling couldn't help but narrow her eyes, and a blush appeared on her fair face.

The 'soul essence' continued to merge into Yang Ling's body, and the feeling of intoxication became stronger and stronger.

"Plop~!"

Finally, Yang Ling's legs went weak and she fell directly into Li En's arms.

"Yang Ling, are you okay...Huh!?"

Li En looked at the dizzy girl in his arms, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"Woo~!"

The undisguised gaze fell on his face, instantly bringing Yang Ling back to reality. He let out a lovely whine and quickly raised his hands to cover his little face.

"Li... Li En, didn't you agree to close your eyes!?"

"Uh...you fell into my arms. Am I worried about you?"

"Yeah~!"

Yang Ling quickly left Li En's arms, turned his back, and quickly put on the mask.

Li En watched this scene quietly without provoking the other party any further.

After finishing everything, Yang Ling turned around and spoke calmly.

"Ahem~! Li En, now that this is over, I'll take my leave!"

"Oh! Okay, thank you both for this time!"

"It's just a piece of cake, Wolf Spirit, get up now!"

The sheep spirit kicked the wolf spirit who was lying on the ground with his tongue sticking out and a look of intoxication on his face.

"Awoo! It's so delicious. Come on, give me some more!"

"Bang~!"

"Ah~! Who? Who is it? How dare you sneak attack Master Wolf?"

The wolf spirit, who had been kicked, suddenly floated up and circled around the two of them until it noticed the unfriendly gaze of the sheep spirit.

"Hey~! Little Lamb, why are you like this? Who made you angry?"

"Hurry up, there are still many souls waiting for us to pick them up!"

"Oh well!"

After Yang Ling finished speaking, she stepped directly into the bright white smoke.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Li En, see you next time~!"

"Well, see you next time!"

Li En waved his hands, feeling something was a little strange.

After all, it was a bit weird to make an appointment with the god of death to meet next time.

But considering that we are in Runeland, this is nothing.

"But... there seems to be a deeper connection between the Eternal Hunter Twins~!"

Recalling the scene just now, Li En thought silently in his heart.

"Hoo~!"

With the departure of the Eternal Hunters, the white smoke also dissipated, and the living room appeared in front of Li En again.

"Lord Li En!"

"Brother Li En~!"

Excited shouts rang out, and Li En looked back. Gregory, Anne, and Amorine in soul state all looked at him with gratitude.

"Haha~! It seems that I just missed a very touching scene~!"

As Li En was speaking, he saw that Gregory was about to kneel down again, so he waved his hand lightly, and the invisible energy directly supported the other party.

"No need to be polite, Mr. Gregory!"

"Lord Li En, I..."

"Amorine Maxime, thank you Lord Li En for your kindness!"

"Brother Li En is a good man~!"

...

Outside Gregory's cabin, Li En was holding Annie's hand, and Annie was holding Tibers with purple stripes in her arms.

"Mr. Gregory, I will take Anne with me."

"Okay, Master Li En!"

Gregory nodded, then looked at Anne.

"Annie, let daddy hold you again!"

"Dad~!"

"Be good! Eat well and eat less candy... Listen to Brother Li En on the way, okay?"

"Yeah! Annie knows!"

"Very good, Annie is so good~!"

Rubbing Anne's little head, Gregory's eyes fell on the jade pendant worn on Anne's chest, which was the residence of Amorine's soul.

"Amorine..."

"Gregory, take care of yourself, Lianna and Daisy!"

"Okay... OK, I got it..."

Gregory nodded.

Li En watched the two of them talking silently without saying a word. Amorine accompanied Annie. This was a decision they made together, and he would not interfere.

"Squeak~!"

The wooden door was gently opened, and everyone looked over to see Lianna holding Daisy's hand and slowly walking out of the door.

"Dear...Lianna, how are you..."

“Gregory, Anne is…also my daughter and Daisy’s sister.

So...I thought I'd come out and say goodbye."

"Annie~!"

"Daisy~!"

The two sisters held hands, and Daisy looked at Anne with reluctance.

"Annie, can you please not leave~! There will be no one to play with me after you leave"

"Don't worry, Daisy. I'm just studying with Brother Li En. I will definitely come back after the holidays!"

"Really?"

"real!"

"Then we have a deal!"

"Ok!"

After the two sisters finished speaking, Lianna slowly came to Anne.

"Annie..."

"Lianna...Auntie..."

Hearing Anne's address, a trace of shame appeared on Lianna's face.

The barrier that Li En had set up before did not block out the sound, so Lianna could hear everything that happened in the living room.

After all these years of misunderstandings were revealed, Lianna was left with only guilt and heartache towards Anna.

"I'm sorry, Annie, I..."

"Aunt Lianna!"

Anne showed a little face.

"Annie has caused you trouble over the years, you don't need to apologize~!

Also, thank you for your company. Since you came to my dad, he smiles more often~!"

"Annie, I..."

Lianna covered her eyes and threw herself into Gregory's arms.

"Annie..."

Gregory looked at Anne with tears in his eyes.

"Okay, everyone, this brief separation is only for the purpose of reuniting again, please don't let your tears blur each other's faces!"

Li En took Annie's little hand.

"Mr. Gregory, Mrs. Andes, and little Daisy, see you next time~!"
