Doomsday Code

Chapter 745 Child Labor

Chen Cheng reached out and hit Xiaoxue on the head with a chestnut. Xiaoxue, in pain, reached out and hit her head. The evil smile on her face disappeared, leaving only a crying expression.

"Stop pretending to be evil. No matter how strong the cold poison is, you're still here. Next time the cold poison strikes, you can remove the poison for me like you did today."

"Of course, I won't bully you because you're a little girl. Every time you help me remove the poison, I'll provide you with food and drink. How about that? I guarantee that you'll have that magic crystal every meal."

As he spoke, another magic crystal appeared in Chen Cheng's hand and he waved it in front of the little snow girl.

When the little snow girl saw the magic crystal, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue to lick her lips. Then she looked at Chen Cheng with shining eyes and said:

"Really? You can't lie to such a cute little girl, or you'll be struck by lightning."

As he said this, he made a cute expression towards Chen Cheng.

Sometimes Chen Cheng really doesn’t know whether this little Loli is really naive. He always feels that she is cunning and not pure at all.

"Okay, I'll give this to you as a deposit. How about it? Now you should believe it, right?"

But now Chen Cheng no longer has the mind to think about whether this little Loli is pure or not. He doesn't want to experience the pain of the cold poison attack again.

That feeling is more terrifying than death. It is like slowing down the entire process of a person's death, making people feel what death is little by little, and then the cold poison disappears without killing people.

Only Chen Cheng, who had experienced death, was slightly immune. If it were someone else, they might be driven crazy by that feeling for the first time.

At this time, Chen Cheng also admired the lich. He could actually make such a vicious potion, and this was the best of all his potions. He didn't know what kind of pain and fear the rest would cause to those who took them.

After cleaning up the room without leaving any trace, Chen Cheng looked at the sun outside and began to estimate the time.

The hunger in his stomach told him that it was definitely past lunch time.

Chen Cheng looked at the Snow Girl and said:

"Change back into a ball and stay in my pocket until we leave town."

But the Snow Girl hesitated slightly, and Chen Cheng said:

"Don't worry about your brothers and sisters. When you leave town, I'll give you a bunch of magic crystals. You can take them back to them. When I return from the north, you can take the remaining commission and go back to your brothers and sisters.

By then, you will have enough magic crystals to survive, and you won’t need to venture out of the mountains.”

Xiaoxue Nu was still a little hesitant. Finally, she looked at Chen Cheng and said:

"I don't believe you. Don't you humans have an empire? Unless you go with me to the officials of that empire and sign a contract, I won't leave with you."

Chen Cheng still remembered what the Snow Girl said about their origins. It seemed that her parents believed that the area inside the Northern Wall was still the era of the Thorn Flower Empire, and wanted them to migrate to the empire to survive.

It seems that this little snow girl doesn't know that the empire is gone.

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng took out a parchment of the contract and handed it to Xiaoxue Nv, saying:

"Do you know how to read? Take a look at the terms here. If they are acceptable, then we can sign the contract. Don't worry, this contract was obtained from the imperial official you mentioned."

Chen Cheng thought that what he said was correct. The empire was not returned, but he, Chen, was the real emperor of the empire, so if he said that it was a contract produced by the empire, then it was.

But Chen Cheng thought again, this little Lolita looked like a minor, and if he did this in his previous life, would it be considered as employing child labor?

Perhaps it was because Chen Cheng had generously given her the magic crystal that she relaxed her guard. After she confirmed that the contract was correct, she stamped her mark on it.

At this time, Chen Cheng finally understood why the snowflakes falling from her body were said to be her heart's blood.

Because the mark she stamped was a white heart.

"So your original form really is a heart."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng also signed his name.

The contract came into effect and immediately affected the souls of the two.

"Okay, now it can become a snowball."

With a bang, the white-haired loli that was so big just now turned into a snowball in an instant.

Picking up the snowball and putting it in his pocket, Chen Cheng stretched and said:

"Come on, let's go out and see if there's any food left."

When Chen Cheng and his servant pushed the door open and went out, the five Meizhe brothers had just woken up from hunger.

Although they ate a lot in the morning, they were all practitioners, so naturally they got hungry quickly.

When Chen Cheng saw that they had all stood up, he bowed and said:

"I would like to thank my uncles for their help. My illness is now under control."

When Mei Zhe heard that Chen Cheng's illness had really taken a turn for the better, he was happy for Chen Cheng from the bottom of his heart.

"Congratulations, nephew."

Then he sighed again:

"It's just that we may have to leave here soon."

Chen Cheng frowned and said:

"Aren't you uncles going to catch the Snow Girl?"

Meizhe sighed again and said:

"Nephew, you don't know that this Snow Girl is a snow spirit. If she attacks, she will alert the enemy.

Then she would have fled thousands of miles away overnight. Where would we find this Snow Girl in this vast snowy plain?

When Chen Cheng heard this, his expression became strange, but fortunately Mei Zhe didn't look at his expression.

"Where are those uncles planning to go?"

"Where else can we go? We are ready to return to our hometown."

Chen Cheng couldn't bear to see Meizhe's dejected look, and then he said:

"If I hadn't met you uncles, I might have died of illness here. Since you uncles saved my life, I should repay you.

It's hard to tell you about my nephew's family background, but I have some friendship with the current Crown Prince. Now that His Royal Highness is in need of talents like my uncles, I might be able to write a letter to recommend them."

When Sheli, who was beside him, heard this, he wanted to speak up to stop him.

Now the two of them can be said to be fugitives. They should have been extremely careful. How could they write a letter of recommendation that would expose their whereabouts?

But Chen Cheng thought that Mei Zhe and the others were quite manly. If it weren't for them, how could he have gotten the Snow Girl's heart blood to make the medicine.

There is also the Snow Girl in his pocket. If Sheli hadn't intercepted her, she might have been the step for their promotion.

So in order to feel relieved, Chen Cheng finally wrote a letter of recommendation.

However, when he handed the letter to Mei Zhe, he reminded her again and again:

"I hope you uncles will understand. Don't tell them that you saw your nephew here. If anyone asks, just say that you saw your nephew on the road to the north.

Because you saw my nephew lying in the snow and saved his life, I wrote you this letter of recommendation."

Although this reason is far-fetched and the content is very simple.

However, the more complicated the reason, the more loopholes it has. Although this simple reason seems to be full of loopholes, as long as the smart ones think about it carefully, they will think that this is the truth.

Mei Zhe and his companions were also men of character. Now that they were recommended by Chen Cheng, they naturally agreed to Chen Cheng's words again and again.

When things turned around, Chen Cheng prepared a farewell banquet for them, and then the two sides parted ways at the entrance of the town.
