When que finally came back to her senses, she realized that she was still in the ruined temple. There was a little girl in ragged clothes by her side.


    "This girl..."


    que could see with her keen eyes that this little girl was not ordinary. Well, her fate was not. The little girl had the Death Omen. Her life was probably tormented with misery.


    At this time, the little girl opened her eyes. A smile appeared on her lips as she asked timidly, "G-Granny, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"


    que gave her a kind smile and said, "I''m okay. Why are you here alone?" "I... I..." The girl''s face turned slightly red.


    que knew the little girl had experienced hardships in life, but perhaps out of shame, she did not want to reveal to que what had happened to her.


    Enid quickly shook her head and shed a bright and exaggerated smile at her. She said, "It''s nothing. I''m just exploring the ce. Uh, my parents wille to pick me upter..."


    "Really?"


    "Yes." Enid nodded vigorously, but suddenly, her stomach gave her away and growled loudly.


    She blushed instantly and stammered, "Ah, I''ll be home for dinner soon... I..."


    At this moment, que suddenly pulled out an apple and handed it to Enid and said, "Here, eat this."


    Enid''s eyes lit up when she saw the apple. She stared nkly at the huge apple. It would taste absolutely tender and juicy.


    Just when her hand was about to touch the apple, she hesitated.


    "What about you?"


    "Me?" que was a little surprised.


    Enid pushed the apple away again and said, "M-My mother will take me home soon. She''ll cook plenty of food for dinner, so it''s okay. I won''t eat the apple. Granny, you fainted just now, so you should eat it."


    Then, Enid turned her head away and closed her eyes.


    que smiled. This was the first time she saw such an innocent, pure-hearted child. Then, she conjured another apple from her hand, which was smaller than the first apple because she did not have much power left.


    She handed the huge apple to Enid again and said, "Here, this is for you. Look, I still have another apple for myself."


    Enid took the smaller apple instead and said, "I''ll just eat this."


    "Huh? This bigger one is very sweet. Don''t you like it?"


    "I like it, but it''s yours. The small apple is enough for me. Soon, my mother... wille... And take me home... for dinner..."


    Enid''s eyes turned extremely red as she fought hard not to cry.


    que had a newfound admiration for this little girl. She was also very grateful to Enid for starting a small fire to keep her warm. Without the natural true energy provided by the fire, her soul would have dissipated for sure.


    que held little Enid in her arms.


    The little girl kept strong and stopped herself from crying. After an unknown amount of time, she fell asleep in que''s warm embrace.


    In order to repay the girl and for her own safety, que lodged her soul in Enid''s body. This was the reason why Enid had the power of the Mother of Immortals in her.


    que wanted to protect Enid because she knew very well that Enid''s parents would note to take her home.


    What awaited Enid was endless torture.


    At least, que could protect Enid''s innocence.
