Chapter 26: One Thousand Little Match Girls

The world is unfair and cruel. Mary knew this from the moment her father broke her leg.

Her father would smoke something. When Mary was a child, she didn't know what it was. She only knew that whenever her father got excited, he would pick up the thing and hit her.

Sometimes it's a wooden stick, sometimes it's a clothes drying rack, and sometimes it's a baseball bat.

Mary forgot how much pain it was, because under the protection of her master, she had not felt pain for a long time.

Even when she has menstrual cramps, her master will clean it up for her.

Mary remembers that when she was a child, she was most afraid of two things. The most important was hunger, and the second was being beaten by her father.

One time, she saw a dog eating fried chicken and wanted to snatch the food from the dog, but ended up being bitten by the dog.

At that time, in the middle of winter, Mary limped home and was locked out by her father because she lost her shoes.

Mary hid in a trash can and became increasingly cold, until she met an "angel", although the angel said he was a devil.

"Haha! What a pitiful little girl, homeless, physically disabled, and even hungry.

A demon like me would love nothing more than to devour miserable little kids like you!"

That terrifying face with white and black colors was indeed scary. Mary was actually very scared at the time, but she was so hungry that she had no strength left, so she remained calm.

"What? You're not afraid of me?"

"Before you eat me, can you take me to KFC?"

Mary made the most innocent request, and at that time, he just laughed, and laughed happily.

"Of course, no problem, but from now on you have to promise me that your soul, your past, your future, and your present will all be mine. This is a deal with the devil. Do you agree?"

Mary felt that the prices the other party mentioned were not prices at all.

Moreover, if she could leave this world, maybe she could go to heaven, so Mary agreed directly.

"it is good."

This girl, who looked like a broken doll thrown into a trash can, was covered by the symbiote.

Then, Mary felt a warmth she had never felt before.

The coldness in her body was dispelled, and her broken leg was miraculously restored.

Also, her dirty body was cleaned up, and her messy hair was combed into smooth princess braids with a cute blue bow on them.

She was wearing a blue and white winter princess dress, and the furry warmth at the collar clip was something she had never experienced before.

The shoes and tights on her feet were also warm, so she no longer felt cold.

At this moment, Meili really felt like a princess.

There were still a lot of US dollars in her small bag. She took the money and went to the store to buy her favorite KFC.

After having a delicious meal, she sat quietly on the bench, waiting to be eaten.

"Um, Mr. Devil, why haven't you eaten me yet?"

"I have already eaten it. Didn't I say I wanted your soul and your past, present, and future? They all belong to me now."

"But why do I feel like nothing has changed? In fact, I feel like you are helping me."

"Oh, I'm already parasitic on you. You have to provide me with nutrients from now on. You are my host, understand?"

Although she didn't quite understand what parasitism meant, Mary felt that since Mr. Devil had helped her so much, she should give something back.

"Well, okay, I'll be the best host!"

She said it so confidently at the time, but now it seems so difficult to be the best host.

Because she was the 999th, and before her, there were nearly 998 more powerful sisters.

The little winter princess was about to leave when she was stopped by two adults with ill intentions. "Hey, little sister, where is your home? Let me take you home."

"Little sister, go out and play with your uncle!"

Mary forgot what the two men looked like at the time. She only remembered that she was a little scared. When the two men approached, Mary instinctively reached out and pushed them away, trying to resist.

The next moment, the two men were pushed five or six meters away by her little hands and fell to the ground.

The two men ran away as if they had seen a ghost.

At that time, Mary realized that she had more power than an adult male.

And from that day on, Mary never returned to her home. It should not be called a home, but rather hell.

At that time, the owner asked curiously: "Why don't you go home?"

"Home should be a warm place, right? As long as Mr. Devil is here, I feel warm everywhere."

The girl's words silenced the devil.

After a few minutes, he responded, "Yeah, that's right. Where I am is home. You have hundreds of sisters."

"Are they like me?"

"Same."

"Well, then their father should be different from my father."

“Almost the same, maybe some are even more extreme, and some don’t have fathers.

Some of them lost their eyes, some were bullied in orphanages, some ran away from home because they couldn’t stand the pressure, and some, well, were abandoned because of illness.”

"Mr. Devil is so gentle, you are an angel."

"I am a demon. When you grow up, I will eat you."

Looking at Ye Ming's grinning devilish appearance, at this moment, Mary did not feel any fear, and even felt that he was very cute.

She happily kissed Ye Ming on the cheek and said, "Hmm~"

While growing up, Mary was not completely happy, for example, when it came to studying.

"Well, I've already left home, why should I go to school?"

“You need to have your own social circle and find your friends.”

"But I have Mr. Devil, that's all."

“That’s no reason for you not to study.”

"Woohoo! Mr. Devil is a bad guy!"

"A demon that watches you study 24 hours a day. Are you scared now?"

Thinking back to the past, Mary became happier and happier.

In her life, Ye Ming plays the roles of father, boyfriend, teacher, doctor, bodyguard, and god.

But when Meili grew up, she knew another thing, that is, they, the children protected by Ye Ming, could eventually marry Ye Ming.

Becoming a lover of a god is more real than idol worship, but there are some limitations, that is, Ye Ming needs to wait until they grow up before taking the initiative to mention it.

Although she has watched many romantic movies, Mary, who has never been in love, is still a little shy.

Meili is very beautiful. With Ye Ming's careful training, she is no less beautiful than any movie star.

However, Mary has no experience in love, because for Mary, no man in the world can compare to her master.
