It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Xiaoya followed Xiao Huai's gaze and frowned instantly.

She came to Xiao Huai and whispered, "You'd better not choose that person. He is the most unacceptable person here."

Xiaoya's tone was no longer as cold as before, but contained a hint of advice.

"Or, let's go. Maybe there's no one suitable for you here." Xiaoya added, as if trying her best to prevent Xiao Huai from getting close to the white-haired man.

However, Xiao Huai ignored her advice, and his eyes never left the white-haired man in the corner.

At that moment, he had already made a decision in his heart.

The steps were firm and steady, from slow at first to faster and faster.

In this mixed smell, he caught a hint of a familiar smell that was almost negligible.

Like a mark engraved deep in the soul.

His heartbeat began to quicken.

When he walked in front of the man, his pupils shrank slightly.

Xiao Huai clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

The white-haired man felt someone approaching and slowly raised his head. His dark eyes looked straight at Xiao Huai from his sunken eye sockets.

The moment his eyes met his, Xiao Huai felt as if something hit his heart.

Although the surroundings were extremely dark, those eyes appeared so bright and clear in this dim space, like a ray of light in the endless darkness.

Even though his body was extremely thin and bony, and he was unrecognizable, Xiao Huai would not make a mistake.

He won't admit his mistake again.

That was Lu Yuanshi.

Xiao Huai stood in front of him, his eyes softened in an instant, and his previous indifference and hardness turned into a trace of uncontrollable heartache at this moment.

His Adam's apple slid up and down, as if he was suppressing the waves in his heart.

Lu Yuanshi was wearing a silver-gray collar around his neck. The collar looked old and gray, as if it had been forced on many years ago and had never been taken off.

In addition to the worn, grayish silver-gray collar, he also wore a bite device.

The bite guard covered his lower jaw, tightly binding his mouth and constantly warning outsiders that he was a dangerous presence.

The heavy restraints made him look particularly different, like a suppressed beast.

He was very clean. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, there was not a trace of blood on his clothes.

Every inch of this place was stained with blood and rotting flesh, and Lu Yuanshi's flawless appearance seemed extremely unusual.

There is only one reason——

No one dared to approach him.

Even though he's wearing a bite control device...

Just then, Xiaoya's footsteps sounded hurriedly, and she followed and stood beside Xiao Huai with a slightly anxious look.

She was obviously surprised to see Xiao Huai walking so fast.

Her eyes held a hint of warning as she whispered, "You really shouldn't have chosen this person."

She took a deep breath, as if trying to organize her words, and then continued, "He has no name or surname. He has been locked up here since he was a child. No one knows where he came from."

She lowered her voice, as if discussing a taboo, "Several people chose him before, but he bit them all to death within a day."

If mad dogs have a level, then he must be at the top level.

There was an unconcealable shadow in her tone as she spoke, "We know those people must have used a collar, but even so, they still couldn't kill him."

"This man is a monster."

Xiaoya's eyes were filled with a hint of fear and apprehension. She continued in a low voice, "We considered killing him directly before, but... the Mirror Spirit issued an oracle, forbidding us to let him die in our hands."

If I have to die, I have to die in the game.

Xiao Huai's gaze was still on Lu Yuanshi. He raised his hand and gently reached out towards Lu Yuanshi's cheek. His fingers stopped at the moment they were about to touch the skin. He tilted his head and looked at each other, crossing thousands of time and space.

"Or, you can follow me from now on." The voice was low and gentle, as if making a promise that would never change.

Seeing this, Xiaoya's face changed and she said anxiously again: "You really... you don't know how dangerous he is." She paused for a moment and emphasized a fact in Xiao Huai's ear.

"Besides, he's mute."

Being mute is a disability that is even more of a minus point.

This means that he is very likely unable to speak or understand human language.

When Xiao Huai heard this, his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Xiaoya's words "He is a mute" did not cause any fluctuation in his expression. Instead, an unspeakable emotion was revealed in his eyes, a complex and indescribable emotion.

He slowly stood up, with his back to Xiaoya, but did not look back.

His voice was low and firm: "I want him. From now on, he must follow me."

At that moment, the air seemed to become particularly heavy. Xiao Huai's tone did not show any hesitation, and even carried a certain resolute power, as if this decision was an unchangeable fact.

Xiaoya stood behind him, her eyes revealing a hint of surprise and confusion.

She had never seen anyone with such an expression, and the emotions hidden beneath the coldness made her feel a little oppressed.

Xiaoya was shocked by Xiao Huai's eyes and felt scared.

She knew that it was pointless to continue persuading her.

Finally, he sighed helplessly, took out the bracelet from his pocket, and handed it to Xiao Huai, his tone still a little tough: "Since you insist on having him, then you must use this. Remember, if you don't obey, you will be punished."

Xiao Huai didn't even give him a glance, and said indifferently: "No need."

Xiaoya was stunned, the shock on her face was obvious.

She obviously didn't expect Xiao Huai to refuse this necessary safety measure. "You don't understand how difficult he is to control."

"He doesn't need to be controlled." Xiao Huai turned around and looked at Lu Yuan behind him. "He came with me and doesn't need any constraints."

The moment the words fell, time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Xiaoya was stunned for a moment. This sentence made her feel inexplicably shocked.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded silently, then took out a small key from her pocket and said, "This is the key to the bite stopper."

Under her gaze, Xiao Huai slowly squatted down and came in front of Lu Yuanshi.

His movements were gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing Lu Yuanshi.

He leaned down, his body very close to him.

When the key was inserted into the lock of the bite stopper and turned, accompanied by a crisp "click" sound, the bite stopper finally released its restraint.

But at that moment, the air froze.

With the sound of the bite stopper falling to the ground, Lu Yuanshi pounced on him like a beast out of control. Before Xiao Huai could react, he was heavily pressed to the ground by Lu Yuanshi.

"boom!"
