At that moment, Vivian seemed worried that I might ask for a lot. But honestly, taking her son’s soul is like taking his life. I’ve already taken a life, so why would I care about their money? You can’t have everything in life.
I shook my head and quickly said, “Auntie, marrying Evan is my blessing. I don’t want a dowry!”
Vivian sighed with relief. But her expression changed soon after. She relaxed a bit, leaned back on the sofa, and began praising her son.
“This child! He’s been smart since he was young, got into a top university, worked at a foreign company—all thanks to his hard work. And as you said, marrying Evan is indeed a blessing. Many young women wanted to marry him, but I didn’t agree. Let’s go with your suggestion: no dowry, but the bride’s family will provide a villa.”
So it was settled. Next up was discussing the wedding details. I brought my mom to meet his parents, and both families had to agree on the wedding date. My mom’s eyes lit up, but since I can only see a bit of the malicious black lines on people, I could tell there was something off.
What she saw were dense black lines on the faces of Evan’s parents. Excitedly, she grabbed Vivian and said, “Vivian, they are a great match. I feel a strange sense of familiarity with you.”
I couldn’t stop laughing. It was so obvious how malicious they were. This was like the thrill of a hunter spotting their prey.
My mom whispered to me, “This couple must have killed people. They’re extremely evil. It’s rare to find such evil among a hundred thousand people. Today, I encountered two of them. What a stroke of luck for you. Let me investigate them thoroughly.”
Our clan members can’t just take other people’s souls without proper agreements, especially during the first consumption. It requires signing a contract.
In other words, on the day of the wedding, as long as Evan signs the demon agreement, my life can be extended.
Standing in front of the dressing mirror, I looked at the top of my head. We can see our own lifespan with a countdown of one year.
I hope the wedding goes smoothly. We’ve got everything covered—wedding planning, the car, the emcee, the makeup artist, and the hotel manager are all our relatives, so it’s a breeze to handle.
