People are in the alliance, but the Taiwan server system

"..." This time it was Kasha's turn to be stunned.

Her eyes showed a look of doubt almost instinctively, and her head tilted slightly to one side unconsciously.

"What did you just... call me?"

"Miss Kasha, is this title too presumptuous?" Chen Ce scratched his head, "Then...Ms. Kasha? Or just call her Kasha?"

"..." Kasha paused again and pursed her lips. "To be honest, you are the first to call me that."

"Isn't this normal? If not, what would you call it?"

"They all call me a monster..."

"I have never seen such a beautiful monster, Miss Kasha."

"Beautiful...?" Kasha was stunned again.

She looked down at her body wrapped in the void symbiote.

It was pitch black...there were some weird purple lights on it, and living creatures were constantly surging...from head to toe, they were complete monsters.

Everyone who sees her curses a monster and runs away screaming.

Even passers-by who are rescued by her often show extreme fear in their eyes - they don't shout about the monster, maybe they are just afraid of annoying the monster and being killed.

Why would someone call a monster "Miss"...

And you said...beautiful?It’s been a long time since I heard this word... The last time I was praised by my mother was when I was a child...

Kasha didn't feel shy, she just felt strange - to be honest, she didn't believe what the other party said.

The acupuncture sensation in his skin became stronger, as if in response to this extremely correct idea.

"You can't survive in this desert with smooth talk." Kai'Sa shook her head, "Praising a monster for being beautiful or something... This is really hypocritical. Instead of thinking about these useless things, it's better to think about how you are going to get through this place. A vast desert."

"I'm telling the truth." Chen Ce showed a kind smile and his tone was very sincere - he was indeed telling the truth.

The girl in front of her definitely deserves the word "beautiful".

Those who called her a monster and ugly were just frightened by the void creature symbiote in her body - people transferred their fear and hatred of the void creatures to Kai'Sa, so they naturally found her disgusting and ugly.

But if you put aside your prejudices, how many people in Runeterra can be more beautiful than her in terms of facial features?

"Miss Kasha, please don't care about other people's opinions. At least in my opinion... you are beautiful."

"..." Kasha was silent for a moment and did not answer the question. "Stop discussing such meaningless topics. Have you figured out how to cross the desert?"

"Is there any good plan to leave as soon as dawn?" Chen Ce asked with a smile.

"It seems that you haven't seen the horror of those monsters... Did you pick up those corpses? You have no idea how terrifying they are."

"Really? I don't think it's anything."

"Hey... Okay, what about food? A piece of candy might just be enough to get you through tonight. There's also a need for water."

"Don't worry." Chen Ce turned half sideways and showed the other party several large wooden barrels behind him. "Look, I have several barrels of fine wine and pure water."

"That's it...that's okay." Seeing this, Kasha didn't say anything more. "Then be careful. I'm leaving - there shouldn't be any other monsters in this area. Just leave as soon as dawn tomorrow."

After saying that, she immediately turned to leave.

However, Chen Ce would not let go of this "treasure box" so easily.

"Wait, Miss Kasha..."

"What's wrong?" Kasha tilted her head half-way, as if she wanted to leave - it wasn't that she had anything to do, she just didn't want to stay with strangers anymore.

She was afraid... that her monster appearance would scare others.

"Tonight...why don't you stay?" Chen Ce pointed to the barrel behind him with a smile, "At least drink some water before leaving."

"..." Kasha was silent for a while, and then said coldly: "No need, I'm not thirsty."

"Then would you like something to eat?"

"You yourself are so poor that you want to eat monster meat."

"Hey, I can still afford a meal."

"No, I'm not hungry."

"But that piece of candy just now is your last ration, right?"

"..." Kasha, who was not good at words and couldn't tell lies, fell silent again.

After a while, her stomach growled unsatisfactorily—but at this time...

"I knew that a kind-hearted person like Miss Kasha would not give me just one candy if she had other food." Chen Ce smiled and swept a rock next to him, indicating that the other party could sit down.

This time Kasha did not insist on her opinion and sat beside her without saying a word.

"If you still have extra food... just exchange it for equal value. Give me some food that is equivalent to candy."

"How can that be enough?" Chen Ce flipped through his backpack.

"One thing for another, I won't take advantage of you..."

"Then you can exchange labor for food."

"labor force?"

"Isn't it fair that you stay here to protect me tonight and I give you food?"

"...You mean you're going to hire me for one night?"

"If Miss Kasha is willing, I can hire you tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... in the future."

"I'm afraid you don't have so much food." Kasha pretended to look to the other side, but she kept glancing at the dark cloth bag from the corner of her eye.

In fact, she was really hungry.

Very hungry very hungry.

Also very thirsty.

"I think my food should be enough." Chen Ce smiled and handed over a large piece of dried meat - he had brought some dry food with him before, and today he got "reward" from the caravan, food and water for a short time There will definitely be no shortage of content.

If that doesn't work, go find void creatures to eat.

Eat eat eat eat eat eat.

"Thank you... thank you..." Kasha couldn't remember how long it had been since she said this word, and she felt a little stiff for a moment.

She took the dried meat offered by the other party, and was first shocked by the size, and then was deeply attracted by the alluring fragrance.

"You obviously still have food, why did you eat void creatures before? Are you curious? Those things are poisonous, so you can't eat them randomly."

Tasting the aroma of meat for the first time in a long time, Kasha felt much better and started talking more.

She tore the dried meat bit by bit, chewing every bit for a long time, as if she was reluctant to finish it all at once... She had really been hungry for a long time.

"Haha, maybe." Chen Ce did not answer directly, but just asked with a smile: "Miss Kasha, can you stay and protect me tonight? And tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow?"

"No problem tonight, from now on..." Kasha pursed her lips and said in a threatening tone: "If you want to hire me, I will charge a very high salary."

"How tall is it?"

"Just...um..."

The girl thought for a long time, and finally came up with a price that should be considered very high in her poor imagination:

"With such a big piece of dried meat, I can protect you for two days at most."

After saying that, she turned her head to the other side, as if she was sure that the other party would be scared off by her offer.

But Chen Ce just silently looked at a wooden barrel behind him.

Inside...it's all dried meat...

It’s hard to find something as small as the one in Kasa’s hand…

"Okay, let's try protecting him for two days first."

"..." Kasha was silent, eating dried meat.

The temperature difference in the desert is huge, and you can definitely feel the cold in the second half of the night.

Chen Ce lit up the bonfire again, and the bright firelight shone on Kasha's calm face.

Really beautiful.

And this girl is really kind.

She was deprived of her home by the void since she was a child, and she was also parasitized by void creatures in the abyss... After going through many hardships, she escaped from the void alive, but what greeted her was not the cheers and applause of people.

Instead, there were curses, looks of fear and disgust.

People couldn't understand her, and regarded her and her second skin as monsters, driving her away with stones and mud... She could not live like a normal person in the towns of Shurima, and could only wander in the desert. Hard to survive.

In fact, she could leave this desert, but she...

She was unwilling to leave in order to protect humanity.

She didn't want to see anyone take away their loved ones and home by the void like her, so she guarded this desert day and night...

Even if she is not understood by others, even if she is burdened with the most filthy infamy...she will protect everyone in Shurima without hesitation.

Her kindness shines brighter than the stars of Shurima.

Chen Ce is naturally very fond of her.

"Miss Kasha, where did that piece of candy come from?" Chen Ce casually chatted.

But Kasha was obviously stunned for a moment - obviously, she did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to talk to her - or she had never been actively talked to by others.

This made her a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Well... I saved a little girl before and she gave it to me... What happened?"

"No, I just think that candy is delicious." Chen Ce smiled, "Have you ever eaten it?"

"Candy... I must have eaten it when I was a kid... I don't really remember."

"So... do you want to eat?"

"It doesn't matter if you want it or not? I only have one candy and I don't have any more."

"Then I'm really sorry that I ate your only candy." Chen Ce handed over another large piece of dried meat.

Kasha accepted it hesitantly and added: "With this piece... I can protect you for three more days."

"Can I trouble you then?"

"Um……"

The two sat in silence for a while.

After that, it was Kasha's turn to take the initiative to talk - well, she had never tried to take the initiative to talk to her, and she was also not used to it.

"Your name is... Chen Ce? Are you from Ionia? If I remember correctly... what kind of place is Ionia? Are there many monsters there?"

"If you are talking about those monsters that jump out of the ground to eat people... No, there is no such thing in Ionia." Chen Ce said, "But there are also many strange creatures in Ionia, like what's the upper body? There are human deers, foxes with nine tails, humans with animal ears... there are many of them."

"Oh... it sounds so magical." Kasha showed a longing look, and then suddenly thought of something.

"Is it because you have seen many strange creatures that you are not afraid of me? Have you seen many monsters like me?"

"No, no, no..." Chen Ce waved his hand, "I'm not used to it, I don't think you are a monster, Miss Kasha."

"...I don't understand. I don't understand the fact that you added a suffix to my name either."

"I think you are very beautiful and you are about the same age as me. Of course you are called Miss Kasha. Isn't this easy to understand?"

"No...it's hard to understand, because I'm not beautiful at all..." Kasha lowered her eyes, looking very unconfident - since she coexisted with the void, everyone who saw her would call her " Ugly monster” or “damn monster”.

Beautiful or something...impossible...

"Why can't you believe me?" Chen Ce shrugged and moved half a distance towards the girl.

Then, he stared straight into the girl's beautiful purple eyes.

"You have a pair of beautiful eyes... Purple is the color of violets, and black is the deep black of the stars."

"..." The sudden compliment made Kasha feel a little overwhelmed - if she simply praised her, she would just think that the other person was flattering her, but if it was specific to a certain part... even if she didn't believe it, she would I feel embarrassed.

The second layer of skin on her body shrank again, and the feeling of needle pricks made her itch from body to heart.
