I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 57 At Least Let My Mother Go

Zhang Lingyun nodded:

"Fine. I'll take forty years of your lifespan first, then transfer it to your mother. Have you thought about what price you're willing to pay?"

Ding Shuangshuang gritted her teeth.

She didn't sleep well all night, constantly thinking about this.

Now, she said firmly:

"I am willing to serve you for forty years. I will do whatever you ask."

Zhang Lingyun looked at her calmly.

Ding Shuangshuang instinctively shrank back.

But she quickly mustered her courage and puffed out her chest slightly.

I dressed up carefully today.

It's obvious that she has a great figure, having completely inherited her mother's excellent genes.

But Zhang Lingyun gently shook his head:

"not enough."

Ding Shuangshuang hurriedly asked:

"So what do you want me to do?"

Zhang Lingyun said:

"I want you to serve me for the rest of my life."

Ding Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment:

"this……"

She had some hesitation.

A witch has a very long lifespan, a lifetime that seems endless.

Does this mean she has to obey this person for the rest of her long life?

Zhang Lingyun began to explain:

"Forty years is too short. What if you betray me after forty years?"

Ding Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment.

Upon closer reflection, what the other person said was indeed correct.

If she stays by Zhang Lingyun's side for the next forty years.

We'll definitely uncover more and more of his secrets.

If they betray us forty years from now, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhang Lingyun continued:

"I can assure you that you will live a very comfortable life, and I will not force you to do anything against your conscience. Compared to someone like Huang Ku, I'm already a great person, aren't I?"

Ding Shuangshuang lowered her head and pondered for a moment.

I think Zhang Lingyun's words make a lot of sense.

Having been enemies for so long, she understood Zhang Lingyun quite well.

Aside from being a bit lecherous, this person doesn't have any major bad habits.

Ding Shuangshuang glanced at her unconscious mother again.

The mother had an oxygen tube in her nose and was breathing with great difficulty.

She seems to be having a nightmare.

Her beautiful, delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her body twitched occasionally.

Every extra glance made Ding Shuangshuang's heart clench.

Ding Shuangshuang finally made up her mind and said:

"I understand. I accept the deal."

Zhang Lingyun nodded:

"Very good. Then, your mother will also have to pay the corresponding price."

Ding Shuangshuang's eyes widened instantly:

"Wait, what did you say? My mother will also pay the price?"

Zhang Lingyun nodded slightly.

This was something he and Xia Youran had discussed in advance last night.

Ding Shuangshuang's mother must also be included in the contractual obligations.

Otherwise, if Ding Shuangshuang were to risk everything in the future, they would have no way to restrain her.

Zhang Lingyun said:

"Think about it carefully. This involves two [lifetime transactions], so naturally, you have to pay two prices."

Ding Shuangshuang gritted her teeth:

"Then I will pay the full price for my mother."

Zhang Lingyun directly refused:

"No. You're completely mine now. What else do you have to offer?"

Ding Shuangshuang suddenly felt a headache.

She then realized that she had been tricked.

I never expected that this person, who seemed so cheerful on the surface, was actually so treacherous.

She said urgently:

"I'm all yours now, at least let my mother go."

Zhang Lingyun's tone was indifferent:

"No. Make a choice right now."

Ding Shuangshuang's pretty face scrunched up in a frown.

Although Zhang Lingyun verbally gave her a choice.

But she knew in her heart that she had no choice at all.

If you want to save your mother, you have no choice but to follow all the arrangements.

She could also directly fight back.

If it were a one-on-one fight, she might be able to win.

But she couldn't rest easy about Xia Youran outside the door.

She always felt that this girl was not simple, and that she must be hiding some mysterious magic, and maybe she was even at the same level as Zhang Lingyun.

At the same time, she was also wary of Miss Nine-Headed Bird.

Even if the opponent is only at the third ring level, killing him would be a piece of cake.

With nowhere else to turn, Ding Shuangshuang was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.

Zhang Lingyun reached out and wiped away her tears, offering words of comfort:

"Don't worry. I'm doing this for safety reasons. I assure you and your daughter that you will both be treated well."

Ding Shuangshuang finally gave in; she had no other choice.

She said softly:

"I agree. I only ask that you be gentle with my mother in the future. She is gentle and weak, unlike me who is so resilient."

Zhang Lingyun paused, feeling that she had been misunderstood again.

However, he was too lazy to explain, and instead said:

"Then wake your mother up. She must personally agree to the contract."

Ding Shuangshuang raised her hand and cast a [Clarity Spell], temporarily waking up the unconscious Ding Wanrou.

She then briefly recounted the whole incident.

Ding Wanrou had just woken up, and her mind was still foggy.

When they saw a strange young man visiting them in the hospital, they assumed he was their daughter's boyfriend.

But after listening for a while, his expression turned a little off.

Ding Wanrou asked in surprise:

"What? I have to do it too?"

Zhang Lingyun quickly explained:

"Auntie, please don't misunderstand. I did this simply to ensure safety."

Ding Wanrou pondered in silence.

She felt a pang of reluctance.

To save her ailing father, her daughter was willing to sacrifice her entire life—the price was simply too high.

Ding Shuangshuang hugged her while crying, saying that all she wanted was for her to live.

"If you, Mom, were to pass away, I would lose the will to live."

The mother and daughter embraced and wept.

Zhang Lingyun stood to the side, inexplicably feeling like a villain.

He took out two bottles of [Holy Spirit Medicine] and said:

"If you drink the potion, it means you agree to this contract. If you refuse, I will take away your memories and return you to your previous state."

The mother and daughter did not hesitate at all.

We've relied on each other for so many years, we're inseparable now.

Even if hell lies ahead, they will support each other as they walk through it.

The mother and daughter drank the [Holy Spirit Medicine], and the contract was formed in an instant.

Throughout the entire process, Zhang Lingyun did not gain any benefit, only feeling slightly tired.

Ding Shuangshuang suddenly felt a blank in her mind, as if something was missing.

But she was very excited.

This means that the "Lifetime Trade" has taken effect.

Ding Wanrou's complexion improved significantly instantly.

Even the pain and ailments in my body disappeared completely.

She pulled out the oxygen tube, breathed in the fresh air, and a gentle smile spread across her face.

With the addition of melatonin in the medicine, she quickly fell into a peaceful sleep.

Ding Shuangshuang gazed at her mother's peaceful sleeping face and gently smoothed the stray hairs on her forehead.

Then, she walked out of the ward with a faint smile.

There is a disinfection room separating the intensive care unit from the outside corridor.

Zhang Lingyun stopped and instructed:

"All my secrets must never be told to outsiders. If you break the contract, the lifespan transferred to your mother will immediately disappear."
