"Your daughter?"

Shen Wen was puzzled. Although they couldn't leave this place while on this platform, even though it was essentially a real world.

However, there are restrictions; they cannot leave the platform they arrived at.

Just like in Ghost Town before, the area they could move around in was only Ghost Town; the outside looked like a wasteland.

But it's impossible to say that there's only one small town in the entire wilderness; the outside world may appear different to them and to the locals.

However, we can also learn from Xu Jiucheng's words, plus Bai Chen's strength.

He knew that, at least within this empire, the Bai family was a powerful force, and Bai Chen was a Silver-level expert; he had already witnessed the destructive power of a Silver-level expert.

It can be described as a weapon of man.

So Bai Chen's daughter is not in any danger here, and could even live a good life. Why did Bai Chen suddenly want his daughter to become an exorcist?

If you don't know, then forget it.

Bai Chen knew the consequences of becoming a spirit exorcist: first, he didn't know if he could come back, and second, he would encounter danger.

Could it be that this empire is facing a crisis that even a Silver-level being cannot handle?

Shen Wen didn't respond, waiting for Bai Chen to continue.

"Shuiyao...her mother passed away early, and I raised her single-handedly."

His voice was not as steady as before, but more tired. "She loved to laugh when she was little and liked to pester me to practice shooting."

I asked her why a girl would practice with guns, and she said she wanted to protect me.

Bai Chen paused, his lips twitched slightly, as if he were smiling, but also as if he wasn't.

"Later she fell ill."

"It didn't happen suddenly; it happened gradually."

First my palms got hot, then my whole body got hot.

At first, they thought it was just a minor injury from practicing martial arts, so they consulted the imperial physician, who said that a special power was growing within his body.

"The fire didn't burn anyone else, it burned her."

"The imperial physician said that her body temperature would continue to rise. Now, her surface temperature is close to 100 degrees Celsius, and it is even higher inside."

"She's only alive now because of her bronze-level physique. But as you know, a physique can only hold out for a while, not forever."

"The imperial physician said she wouldn't live past twenty."

Shen Wen frowned slightly.

twenty.

Bai Shuiyao is eighteen years old this year.

That means there are only two years left.

Bai Chen raised his head and looked at Shen Wen. Those eyes that were sharp as knives on the battlefield just now looked like two dry wells.

"I have searched the entire empire for renowned doctors, sorcerers, and magicians, but none of them can cure me."

"So I can only place my hopes on you exorcists."

Shen Wen's fingers stopped on the handrail.

Bai Chen's voice deepened: "You can travel between different worlds, see things that the Empire cannot see, and obtain things that the Empire cannot obtain."

Perhaps... perhaps in some other world, there is something that can cure her.

The tent was quiet for a few seconds, then the candlelight flickered, casting swaying shadows on the two people's faces.

Shen Wen didn't answer immediately; several questions were running through his mind.

No one can guarantee that a cure will be found within two years.

However, Bai Shuiyao is currently at the Bronze level, so getting on the train won't make the platform too difficult.

Moreover, Bai Chen just mentioned the Domain of the God of Slaughter, which is a closely guarded secret of the Bai family.

Shen Wen raised his head and looked at Bai Chen: "What did Lord Bai mean by the 'deal' you just mentioned?"

Bai Chen took a thin booklet out of his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Shen Wen.

The booklet cover was dark blue, without any words, and the corners were worn, as if it had been flipped through many times.

"Our Bai family has been a butcher lineage for generations."

This booklet records the Domain of the God of Slaughter, as well as the application of various abilities that complement the Butcher Sequence.

He paused, looking into Shen Wen's eyes, "As long as you agree to take Shui Yao away, this thing is yours."

Shen Wen didn't rush to take the booklet. He leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and said, "Let's not talk about whether I agree or not yet."

"If I really take her away, Lord Bai may never see your daughter again in his lifetime."

Bai Chen paused for a moment, and a faint glimmer of moisture flashed in his usually calm eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

He took a deep breath, his voice a little softer than before, but every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

"I just want her to live."

The tent fell silent.

Shen Wen stared at the dark blue booklet on the table, remained silent for a few seconds, then reached out, picked it up, and turned to the first page.

next moment.

A notification was sent.

[Ability Book - Butcher's True Understanding (Silver): After use, you will gain a series of Butcher-related abilities...]

Shen Wen looked at the series of abilities. Apart from the Domain of the God of Slaughter, there were six offensive abilities and three defensive abilities.

Aside from the God of Slaughter Domain, there is one Silver-level ability in both the offensive and defensive categories.

The former is called "Echoes of Blood", and the latter is called "True Form of Blood Armor".

"Sure! But there are a few things I need to tell you beforehand."

"you say."

"The train is not a safe house. Once she's on board, she has to follow our rules, contribute what she needs to, and fight when necessary."

"She won't hold us back." Bai Chen said confidently. "Although Shui Yao has a special physique, her strength ranks among the top in the Bronze level."

Shen Wen's expression suddenly turned awkward. "You should have told your daughter beforehand that because of my talent..." (Exclusive! A special interview on the vicissitudes of life and behind-the-scenes stories of "Train Survival: Getting a Treasure Chest by Sticking to My Goddess," available only.)

"I have a bit of a relationship with those girls on the train. Will your daughter mind? Of course, I can't force her, but I want to avoid everyone disliking each other."

After saying this, Shen Wen's face showed a rare hint of embarrassment.

It seems a bit strange to talk about this kind of thing in front of someone else's father.

Bai Chen was puzzled.

Since they were both men, Shen Wen didn't hesitate and talked about his two talents.

Bai Chen didn't react much, waving his hand and saying casually, "As long as you don't use force, I don't care."

Shen Wen nodded.

This is the right attitude for trading.

Bai Shuiyao's joining the train is mutually beneficial; it's not a case of one person depending on the other.

The system just adds passengers to his fleet; who knows what kind of people will be added? Rather than passively accepting, he might as well choose for himself.

Besides, he didn't lose out on this deal.

With three silver abilities, even one silver ability would be enough for him to stand firmly in the upper-middle tier of bronze, and with three stacked together, he would be almost invincible in the bronze tier.

Once you master all these abilities, as long as it's not a long battle, even someone just starting out in Silver rank should be able to get a chance.

Of course, if the attributes aren't keeping up, that's another matter.

Bai Chen stood up and picked up the spear from the table: "I'll have her come to see you later."

Shen Wen nodded, lifted the curtain, and went out.

The light outside the tent was much brighter than inside, and he squinted.

All four women stood outside.

Upon seeing him emerge, the four women moved simultaneously.

Jiang Youchu was the first to come up to him, looking him up and down to make sure there was nothing wrong before asking, "What did you talk about? It took so long."

Shen Wen repeated what Bai Chen had said.

When Bai Shuiyao was mentioned, Jiang Youchu raised an eyebrow and a meaningful smile curved her lips: "Another girl got on the bus."

She paused, tilted her head to look at Shen Wen, and said with a hint of teasing, "You only agreed because it's a daughter, not a son, right?"

Shen Wen coughed lightly.

"This is only a small part of the considerations."

Su Mu raised his hand and gently patted Jiang Youchu on the back of the head. "Shen Wen is the train conductor. He has the authority to let people board the train."

Jiang Youchu rubbed the back of her head and pouted, "You just spoil him!"

Shen Wendao said, "The main value lies in these abilities. If we were to encounter that bishop from the Aurora Society, we would at least have a fighting chance."

Su Qingxuan leaned against the wall, tapping her fingers on the edge of the storage box, lost in thought: "If she's only at the Bronze level, getting on the train wouldn't really matter. She's stronger than all of us!"

Jiang Youchu asked curiously, "Is that Bai Shui... good-looking?"

Shen Wen shook his head: "I haven't seen him yet."

He paused, then added, "But judging from Bai Chen's appearance, he should be quite good-looking too."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than footsteps came from the direction of the camp.

Shen Wen turned his head.

A girl emerged from behind the tent.

She wore a plain white training uniform with dark silver embroidery on the cuffs and collar. Her long hair was casually tied back with a wooden hairpin, with a few strands falling beside her ears.

His facial features are somewhat similar to Bai Chen's, with a heroic air between his eyebrows and eyes, and a high nose bridge, but his jawline is much softer, making him look less aggressive.

Her temperament was similar to Su Mu's, but Su Mu seemed to have social anxiety, while this girl was more aloof.

just.

Her cheeks were flushed with an unnatural redness, not the blush of shyness, but more like a persistent fever.

She walked up to Shen Wen, stopped, paused for a moment on his face, and then extended her hand generously.

"Bai Shuiyao".

Shen Wen reached out and grasped it.

hot.

It wasn't warm, it was scalding hot.

The temperature emanating from his palm was at least seventy degrees Celsius, but of course, that was nothing to Shen Wen.

"Shen Wen."

"Father told me to go with you."

Shen Wen nodded: "Is there anything you want to ask?"

Bai Shuiyao thought for a moment: "Is food provided on the train?"

Shen Wen's lips twitched slightly: "Mind your own business."

Bai Shuiyao then asked, "Can I take a shower?"

"able."

"Okay then."

Shen Wen looked at her: "Don't you want to ask anything else?"

Bai Shuiyao shook her head, her tone frank: "Father said you can help me find a cure, so I'll go with you. Nothing else matters."

It's not that she's aloof.

He's an idiot.

Bai Chen walked over with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "Shui Yao has lived with me since she was a child, and she has a rather straightforward personality... If she has offended me in any way, please forgive her."

He clearly heard what his daughter said as well.

Shen Wen looked at Bai Chen again, "Have you thought it through? If your daughter comes with us, she may never come back."

At this moment, both Bai Shuiyao and Bai Chen fell silent.

Shen Wen didn't urge him. Bai Shuiyao wasn't like Lydia, who was all alone and helpless in the Griffin Kingdom, with all her teammates dead.

Bai Shuiyao has a father, and even a family.

Bai Chen took a deep breath. "Yes. I just want Xiao Yao to live!"

Shen Wen could only say that he didn't understand a father's thoughts, but he still comforted him, "Actually, it's not necessarily true. There are still some ways to get back, it just depends on the opportunity."

After all, this might not lack a kingdom medal like the Griffin Kingdom.
