A crisp and loud slap sounded, and the slap landed heavily on Akzhan's handsome face, stunning him for a moment.

Time seemed to freeze, the whole scene became unusually quiet, with only the echo of the slap lingering in the air.

Akzhan's face was filled with shock and confusion. He had no idea what was happening. The sword he was holding tightly in his hand slipped down involuntarily and fell to the ground with a clang.

His hands were trembling slightly. The slap just now seemed to have shattered all his courage and confidence.

"Don't I have the upper hand? Slapping you? Why are you acting like a little girl? Are you angry?"

Akzan slowly raised his hand and gently stroked the left side of his face that had been slapped, feeling the burning pain.

Yes, the slap was indeed delivered, and it was quite forceful.

"You stepped on me and it hurt...did you feel any pain?"

Akzhan looked down at her feet. It turned out that she was about to write on the ground...

He saw Theresa start writing on the ground again, so he squatted down and looked carefully.

Theresa wrote, stroke by stroke, "You are such a disgusting person!"

When Akzhan saw this, his eyes widened.

"I'm annoying? Are you kidding me? I'm here to take your life, okay? Why don't you say anything while you're making such a fuss with me? Are you mute?"

Akzan thought about it and still felt a little strange.

"No way? You can actually write!"

Akzan couldn't help but blurt out, his face full of disbelief.

Theresa did not respond to his surprise, but continued to write on the ground with concentration.

"I ate the goddess amulet you mentioned."

After Theresa finished writing, she placed both hands on her heart and made a gesture.

"You ate it? Are you serious? Why didn't you die instantly? If I remember correctly, that thing has the highest concentration of the goddess' aura, but even the Demon King can control it for a while."

Is this really a control... Why do I feel like I was the one who pushed the Demon King's account down, but this fire makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Can you please stop the fire? It's so hot."

"Just hot? Well, maybe you're special."

Akzan let the flames around him subside, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled white smoke.

The food fell to the ground. Akzan wanted to bend down to pick it up, but found that Theresa was staring at him.

He tried to move the food left and right, and the little girl stared at it intently.

"Hey, take it. It's a Hiyori City specialty, the Astra Sun Cake. Try to earn your courage, okay? Stop being a child."

Akzan threw the cake over and found that Theresa was still looking at him.

"Why are you looking at me? Eat. Then tell me your name."

Tsk, it makes me want to eat the same thing, but this cake smells really good.

Theresa glanced at Akzhan, and seeing that he didn't react, she took a bite of the pancake.

Mmm~ delicious! It’s filled with meat, although it’s a little cold.

Theresa wolfed down the sun cake. Akzan smiled. This little girl was quite interesting.

"Can you tell me your name now?" Akzan asked as he took a step closer.

Theresa pointed to her throat and shook her head, indicating that she was unable to speak.

Akzhan scratched his head and said, "Then I will call you the little mute girl."

Theresa didn't seem to like the name. She frowned and continued writing on the ground: "I have a name."

"Then write it down."

Theresa wrote her name, stroke by stroke: "Theresa."

"Theresa, that's a nice name," Akzan repeated. "Do you have any other family members?"

Other family members? Why are you asking me this?

Theresa couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She shook her head and wrote "No" on the ground.

He also knew that he didn’t want to bring trouble to ordinary people, so Akzhan thought about it and decided to spare her life.

You are obviously just a monster. How many people have died in the past few years in the attempt to defeat you? Why do you pretend to be a human being and live happily here?

Because Akzhan knew the nature of these monsters, he wanted to spare her life. She should go back and have a good talk with the bishop.

"But just in case."

Akzhan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and then he stretched out his finger and gently touched Theresa's forehead.

This seemingly random point actually has a profound meaning. As long as Theresa tries to use her abilities, she will be restricted.

"As for the goddess amulet in your body, I think... I will naturally have the answer when I come next time."

Akcan's tone was calm and confident, but there seemed to be something unsettling hidden in it.

Hearing this, Theresa's heart tightened and she unconsciously took a few steps back.

A terrible thought suddenly popped up in her mind. Is he going to conduct some dangerous experiment on me?

Or... would he really do something heartbreaking to her as she worried?

"I have another question, why are you so good-looking...look?"

He used his foot to wipe off the words he had just written on the ground. Just as he raised his head, a dazzling light suddenly exploded.

"Ah! My eyes! I can't see!"

Akzan covered his eyes in pain, his body swayed a few times and he almost fell to the ground.

People should gradually adapt to the surrounding light intensity in the dark, but the sudden strong light at this moment caused his eyes to have a strong discomfort reaction.

"This little mute girl..."

Akzhan muttered to himself and opened his eyes, but the little mute girl had already run away without a trace.

"That's really stupid... maybe I can actually run home later."

He looked at the direction where the little mute girl was going. This little girl's intelligence seemed to be no different from that of a newborn baby. If she really ate the amulet as she said, she might have some special and wonderful reaction. If she could get the right guidance...

He suddenly realized that he was overthinking things. He laughed at himself and said, "I'm just a wandering swordsman. Why should I bother with such trivial matters? I should go back and talk to them and see what they have planned."

Akzhan stood up, dusted himself off, and slowly left the forest.

Run, run. Theresa ran quickly through the woods.

What should I do? What should I do? Where should I go next? Maybe the swordsman already knows where I live. He won't attack Oleg and the others, right? They are just ordinary villagers.

What if there is a crime of harboring...
