Chapter 1809: Why Do You Want to Help Me?

"That's settled then. I promise you, the day I find him, I will definitely kill him, take the hot blood from his heart, and let you recover into a normal person," Chen Yu said with a cheerful smile.

"Really? You... why are you helping me?" Eve raised her head and looked at Chen Yu, somewhat unable to believe it.

"Nothing more than fate," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "I feel that the two of us are fated."

"Fate, what is that?" Eve asked.

"Something indescribably wonderful. Do you want to go out for a walk now and see the world outside? It just so happens that this is my first time in Yizhou; would you be my guide?" Chen Yu asked.

"I can, but... my father won't agree, because if I go out, there might be many unknown dangers waiting for me." A glimmer of spirit flashed through Eve's eyes, but then her pupils dimmed again.

Yes, she could not go out now; if she were to go out, she might invite a lot of unnecessary trouble.

And some trouble would very likely bring a devastating disaster to her family; these consequences were something no one could afford to bear.

"He will agree," Chen Yu said, "because you are going out with me."

"Alright then," Eve thought for a moment, "but I cannot go out during the day, only at night. At this time, there is no movement outside anymore."

"I naturally have a way to let you appear under the sunlight," Chen Yu said. "We will set off as soon as the day breaks."

"Really? That's good." Eve was delighted; her heart was somewhat uneasy, yet also somewhat expectant.

Because she truly had not seen sunlight for far, far too long, so now that Chen Yu said he would take her out, her heart was extremely joyful.

But while joyful, she was also vaguely worried; after all, she was very afraid of the blinding light.

"It's a deal," Chen Yu smiled. "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Eve happily high-fived Chen Yu, then left this place.

The next morning, early, the butler Mo Bo hurried to the dining room and found An'er: "Sir, it's bad. That Mr. Chen has taken the young lady out."

"What?" An'er's expression changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly.

"Can the young lady see the sunlight? Did you bring the veil customized for her?" An'er was somewhat panicked; after all, he loved his daughter very much.

Since Chen Yu had taken Eve out, it meant that Chen Yu already knew Eve's true identity, which made him somewhat nervous.

"He didn't. I tried to stop him, but a single look from Chen Yu left me unable to move on the spot," Mo Bo said, still feeling lingering fear when mentioning this.

He had never known that a person's gaze could actually be so cold.

Mo Bo was the butler and had been by An'er's side for twenty years; An'er had also been a man who killed without blinking an eye in the past.

Originally, he thought that since he felt no pressure being with An'er, who had such heavy blood debts, there should be no one in this world who could make him feel pressure.

But he had not expected that a single look from Chen Yu would actually make him retreat three steps; this was something he had not anticipated.

"His every move is enough to cause someone's death," An'er gritted his teeth. "Where did they go?"

"They went near Milan Avenue. Sir An'er, should I send people to follow them? I'm afraid that if something..." Mo Bo said.

"No, don't," An'er hesitated for a moment, then sat back down. "Since Chen Yu has taken her out, it means he has the confidence to protect Eve well."

"You also know that ever since that incident happened, Eve has deliberately avoided everyone; she is unwilling to get close to anyone except me."

"Now that she is willing to get close to Mr. Chen, this might not be a bad thing, so let her be."

"Alright then, but Miss Eve... is afraid of sunlight," Mo Bo said with some anxiety.

"No need to worry. What kind of person is Mr. Chen?" An'er smiled slightly. "He is someone who can even cure cancer; letting Eve live under the sunlight is absolutely no problem."

"That's good then." Mo Bo finally set his mind at ease.

"How amazing, the yellow paper you just stuck on me actually has such a magical effect; I'm actually not afraid of the sunlight."

Eve was in a white dress, excitedly bathing in the sunlight, her face full of smiles.

Truly, she had never thought that she would have such a day. She had originally thought that she might never see the sunlight again, but she had not expected that one day she could still live openly and honestly under the sunlight.

And the reason for all this was because Chen Yu had stuck a strange thing on her; this yellow paper seemed to possess some kind of magic, preventing her body from being eroded by the sunlight.

"This paper is called a Talisman, a type of thing from our East, similar to the Pope's Magic Scroll, also injected with runic Magic, possessing special abilities."

Chen Yu explained to her casually: "This Talisman is called a Light-Avoiding Talisman; it can absorb most of the sunlight. As long as the talisman's power is hidden within your body, you will be able to live under the sunlight."

"How long does it last?" Eve asked.

"About 8 hours of effect, after which it will expire, and you can only use one within three days, so this cannot let you return to a completely normal life."

Chen Yu said: "So we still need to find that Prince of the Blood Clan, kill him, and take the blood from his heart to let you regain your freedom."

"It's already enough." Eve looked at Chen Yu gratefully. "Really, before you arrived, I never thought I would have such a day."

"I smell the long-lost scent of sunlight. I can appear among the crowd, I can go shopping like I did before the incident; for me, these are already enough."

"Rest assured, I will still return a normal life to you," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Where are you taking me?"

"Milan Avenue, it's full of your Huaxia people. I think you should be able to find the feeling of home there."

As they spoke, the two arrived inside Chinatown.

It was still early, but people were already coming and going inside.

Most of the people here were yellow-skinned, and there were breakfast shops open on both sides of the street.

Very characteristic Huaxia-style breakfast shops; Chen Yu could see familiar snacks here.

Of course, those who could eat here were all Huaxia people; those so-called public accounts saying foreigners like Huaxia food were all writing nonsense to earn traffic.

Soup dumplings, Deep-fried Dough Sticks, millet porridge, small steamed buns; Chen Yu could even see Hu-la Soup, that anti-human breakfast, here.

"Not bad, not bad, the taste is quite authentic." At Li Ji Breakfast Shop, Chen Yu ate a breakfast with a flavor close to Huaxia's.

The owner of this shop was originally from Shandong and was very hospitable and enthusiastic. Moreover, the things in his shop were authentic Huaxia breakfasts, unlike other places' catering that used the banner of Chinese food but had actually messed up the Chinese-style breakfast to cater to the tastes of foreigners.
