except him.

hope Nian once had a bold conjecture, but it was just a conjecture. That conjecture was enough to make his heart race, and even he couldn't believe it.

The gothic woman responded, "If you feel you owe me something, then pay the price."

"What price?"

hope Nian couldn't imagine any price that could be comparable to his two lives.

However, he still readily and firmly said, "Sister, what do you want? I'll give it to you right now."

Even death?

"Yes, even death."

"Then go on a date with me."

"OK?!"

Xinian was caught off guard, his mouth agape.

Beneath an exquisite black parasol, the gothic woman raised her joyful eyes, her dark red lips curving upwards in a smile:

Didn't you say before that you would show me the world you live in?

"Then let's go on a date, little brother."

Chapter 488, The Price, A Date with Death

early morning.

A villa outside Washington, D.C.

As the light of dawn falls on the windows, the sky-blue curtains inside are drawn, brightening the dim room.

Inside the room, in front of the mirror on the wardrobe.

He combed his black hair to a neat and tidy style, put on a well-fitting long white shirt, straightened the collar and cuffs, put on smooth, wrinkle-free black trousers, polished his adult leather shoes to a shine, and finally put on a solid-color winter coat.

The handsome, dark-haired youth exhaled a puff of hot air, looked at himself in the mirror, and earnestly asked the silver-haired girl dressed as a maid beside him, "Alice, how do I look?"

"Master, you look absolutely perfect. If I were the woman, my heart would definitely race."

The maid Alice blinked, gave a melodious and confident reply, and floated slightly up to tie the cashmere scarf around the young man's neck.

"Then I'll head out now," hope Nian said, taking a deep breath and sounding somewhat hurried.

"Master." Alice landed back on the floor, raised her sapphire-like eyes, and asked with undisguised worry, "Are you really alright?"

"You currently have no temporary abilities, and such a terrible incident happened yesterday. Is it really okay for you to go out alone today?"

"It's alright." hope Nian smiled calmly. "I'm not alone. As long as she's there, I'll definitely be fine."

Or rather, today was his safest day.

"I will let you know immediately if anything happens."

Xinian waved his hand and went out excitedly.

"Raven, be good at home with Alice, okay? Wait for me to come back!"

As Xinian passed through the main hall on the first floor, he didn't forget to say something to the little girl in the black hoodie who had just finished breakfast and was sitting on the sofa.

Before the little girl could respond, Xinian had already opened the door and left the villa.

The villa suddenly became deserted.

"What is that?"

Raven, now back in her human loli form, raised her eyes and glanced disapprovingly at the closed villa door: "I'm not a child anymore, what's with all the 'be good' stuff? They said they'd wait for me to come back, but they clearly just didn't want me to come out with them!"

Alice came down the stairs from the second floor and said happily in a soft voice, "However, I have rarely seen Master so excited since four years ago."

"That's right. He wasn't this excited when he met me!"

The raven felt a melancholy of being alone in an empty building, which is why it spoke much more today.

"No, meeting me... is clearly a sign of disdain."

The raven's muttered complaints sounded like those of a little crow.

I have to say, she was definitely jealous!

……

Light snow fell from the slightly gloomy sky, the neon lights were still on, and the modern streets were bustling with traffic.

When hope Nian arrived at the entrance of Washington Park, he glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost 9 a.m., the agreed time.

The only problem is that I haven't met the person I was supposed to meet yet.

hope Nian felt inexplicably nervous; he couldn't even remember the last time he felt nervous.

The closer it gets to the appointed time, the more intense the tension becomes, and the heart races uncontrollably.

Time passed second by second.

Finally, it was nine o'clock.

Standing in front of the park, Xinian looked around at the street. There were many people holding black umbrellas, but he did not see the familiar female figure among them.

However, it's normal if it doesn't appear.

hope Nian didn't know whether to feel disappointed or relieved.

But at this moment...

tread.

A light footstep sounded from the park behind me, and at that moment, the falling snowflakes seemed to freeze.

"You didn't think I wasn't coming, did you?"

A light and pleasant female voice then rang out from behind.

Xinian turned around and saw a woman dressed in gothic style walking over, holding her usual small black parasol.

The woman with short black hair slightly raised her small black parasol, revealing her elegant and bright dark eyes, and gently parted her dark lips: "Death never breaks its word."

Actually, what I was thinking was, it would have been better if you hadn't come.

hope Nian blurted out, then quickly waved his hand, "Of course I'm hoping you can come. But for some reason, I don't really want you to come here."

The gothic woman's beautiful eyes widened slightly in surprise.

hope Nian knew that her words were full of contradictions, and couldn't help but ask, "Sister, are you really sure it's okay for you to be here if it weren't for the death observation?"

The gothic woman chuckled softly:

"What are you thinking? You're making it sound like I can only operate according to the laws of the universe. You think I can do anything I want."

She paused, then said, "In this world, the only thing that can influence or kill me is myself."

Xinian knew that the world his sister was talking about was not limited to his current universe, but included the entire multiverse!

"That's great."

Xinian breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the woman in front of him, and his eyes lit up: "Sister, you look very beautiful today."

"So, the date has already started?" the goth woman asked curiously. "I've heard that complimenting your female companion is one of the essential dating etiquettes here."

hope Nian said sincerely, "I don't know how others do it. But I mean it all."

at this time.

Instead of her usual tank top and jeans, my sister wore a long, voluminous black dress that hugged her body, highlighting her beautiful curves and revealing her delicate collarbone adorned with a cross. The skin of her slender arms beneath the sleeves had a pale, beautiful quality.

Beneath her short, ear-length black hair, the black eyeliner at the corner of her right eye curved into a strange musical note, and her beautiful and spirited face was pale.

She stood on the street where a light snow was falling, like a beauty in a sketch, rendered in only the basic tones of black and white. She possessed an approachable charm, yet also an untouchable mystique.

The Death Sister looks stunning today; the gothic dress adds to her charm and allure.

Meeting Xinian's burning gaze, the gothic woman wasn't shy at all, letting him admire her as she murmured to herself, "The date...it felt pretty good..."

"The formal date hasn't even started yet!"

hope Nian smiled and extended her hand: "Let's go, sister."

The gothic woman followed his lead and placed her right hand on his outstretched palm.

Xinian took the other person's hand in his. It was a hand that was a little cold but soft enough, with slender and even fingers, as perfect as a work of art.

Although I had been frequently embraced by this hand for three years, five years ago.

But it was, after all, a soul residing in the teddy bear, and it had no tactile sensation whatsoever.

And now, this is Xinian's second physical encounter with death; the first was eight years ago, the day before Xinian died.

The entrance to Washington Park, the meeting point, is also where Xinian first encountered death.

not to mention.

This is a date, a real hand-holding, a date with death!

The implications are completely different!

Chapter 489, Because I Love You, I Will Die

then.

On the streets of Washington, D.C., as Christmas approaches and a light snow is falling.

The projection screens all over the streets are playing news reports about yesterday's resurrection of the dead villain.

As former Avengers and Justice League superheroes contemplate how to face the darkest night to come.

As one of the protagonists of the extraordinary event, Xinian and Death, who embodies the rules of the multiverse, are starting a date as ordinary people.

They were just like a perfectly normal, well-matched couple.

hope Nian took Death for a walk on a pedestrian street in Washington, D.C., and they went to a five-star hotel for a delicious steak lunch. They even made a point of passing by the gate of his high school.

"Sister. Look, that's where I used to study."
