History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws - Chapter 443

443 The invincible skeleton army! The heart of the Queen!(New alliance master, Shan Genhe)

(Congratulations to Jian shangen for becoming the new alliance leader. Thank you.)

At that moment, Shen lang had countless question marks in his mind.

First of all, why did he have a sister? Or was he the third party leader of the skeleton party pirate Army? How many women had Emperor Jiang Li slept with in the Western world? How did he get involved with the skeleton gang again?

Secondly, didn’t the skeleton pirate Army disappear for more than a decade? They went on an adventure in the southern world. Why did they come back? Also, how did Hila find Mulan city? How did she know that Shen lang was her brother?

!!
Also, her name was not randomly given. Hila was also a character from ancient legends (Hila was the god of death in Norse mythology, but the first chapter had been modified), and only very powerful people could have such a name.

“My dear little brother, why are you so weak?” Hila pinched Shen Lang’s arm and patted his chest. She pouted and said, ” “I really didn’t expect that our powerful father would give birth to a pretty boy like you. But it’s nothing, big sister will protect you in the future.”

Then, she suddenly asked,”did you just say Helen?” Princess Helen of the Queen’s city? She’s also father’s daughter?”

How thick are your nerves to only ask now?

“Don’t you know?” Shen lang asked.

how would I know? ” Hila said. my father is a very serious person. How would I know that he would sleep with someone else? ”

Shen lang looked at her face carefully. He wanted to see if she looked similar to him. But he found that she did look like Emperor Jiang Li, especially her eyes and nose.

Moreover, she was very tall, more than 1.9 meters. She carried Shen lang up from the ground easily just now.

Hila was very beautiful, and it was a wild kind of beauty. Her entire face was inclined to the East, but her eyes were purple, and her lips were that of a Western woman, slightly thicker than an Eastern woman’s. They were somewhat similar to the mouth of Hollywood star Angelina Jolie.

“Let’s go, I have a lot of questions to ask you,” Shen lang said.

Then, Shen lang brought her into the study room.

“I hate the study the most.” After Hila entered the study, she could not sit still. Seeing a sword, she could not help but pick it up and play with it.

It was a golden sword that Shen lang had forged for fun. It weighed less than 30 pounds, which was already very heavy for Shen lang.

Hila clenched her fist tightly, and the sword suddenly emitted a bright light. Her combat energy was very strong.

Hila suddenly swung her sword.

The golden sword was bent, and the hilt was bent out of shape.

Shen lang was speechless.’This is not pure gold. It’s only 50% pure gold. How strong is your strength to bend it with just a light touch?’

I’m sorry, Momo. Hila stuck out her tongue and picked up a crystal ball on the table to play with it. She tossed it gently in her hand and then held it in her hand and carefully pinched it.

pfft pfft pfft ” the entire crystal ball was crushed by him. How could such a hard crystal ball be crushed?

I’m sorry, Yingluo. Hila clapped her hands and raised them. I promise I won’t touch anything anymore. I can’t take it anymore. No matter what it is in my hands, I want to crush it.

Instantly, Shen lang thought of an even scarier scene, and he could not help but feel terrified.

“Brother, I’m up. I’m the princess Helen you mentioned.” I’ve seen her before, ” Hila said. we even had a fight. It was more than ten years ago.

“Why did you fight?” Shen lang asked.

Hila was a little embarrassed. she’s too beautiful, and she doesn’t look like a real person. It’s rare for me to see such a beautiful woman, so I went to propose, but she rejected me. Then I used some flirtatious words, and we started fighting.

“Wait, there’s a lot of information in that.” “You proposed to her?” Shen lang asked.

I didn’t know she was my sister, ” Hila said. we don’t look like each other at all.

“But, she’s a woman. Aren’t you a woman too?” Shen lang said.

Hila asked,’what? Can’t I? My dear little brother, your way of thinking is too conservative.”

Eh? Yes, yes! You’re too beautiful and powerful, so everything you do is right. Beauty is justice.

“Hila, how old are you this year?” Shen lang asked.

Hila opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at Shen lang charmingly. “Little brother, take a guess.”

“Thirty-three?” Shen lang said.

Hila immediately clutched her chest in sadness, as if she had been shot by an arrow. “My dear brother, am I really that old in your heart?”

Shen lang said, ” no, you look like you’re 25 years old. However, your temperament and charm are that of a 28-year-old. However, Princess Helen is already 33 years old. You can’t be younger than her. ”

“My dear brother, you’re so sweet. I like you.” as for my sister’s real age, it’s a secret, ” Hila said. how old are you, brother? ”

“I’m almost 25,” Shen lang said.

then I’ll be 25 years old, ” Hila said. I’ll always be just a month older than you. I’ll just keep my position as your sister.

Shen lang knew that Hila was definitely older than Princess Helen.

“Oh right, Hila, who won the fight between you and Helen?” Shen lang asked.

“I don’t want to talk about this.” Hila turned her face away.

Uh, Shen lang was shocked! Was Princess Helen really that strong? she was only seventeen years old at that time, and Hila should be much older than her. Now that Hila was already this strong, wouldn’t Helen be even stronger?

Shen lang said,”Hila, how did you find me?” How do you know that I’m Jiang Li’s son?”

it’s a long story, ” Princess Hila said. I returned to the xilun dynasty to attend a grand festival. It’s the reproduction ceremony of the Amazon Empire. When I got to the island, I found an unparalleled beauty, and I was completely mesmerized.

Wait, wait a little longer! Shen Lang’s scalp turned numb. The purpose of the reproduction ritual was to give birth to offspring. What was a woman like her doing there?

“What’s wrong? I can’t?” you guys are too utilitarian, ” Hila said. the ritual of reproduction is not just for bearing offspring. Finding love is the most important thing, isn’t it? ”

Ugh! Fine, you have your reasons no matter what you say. You’re beautiful and you’re right.

in the end, that woman was Queen Aida. I immediately pursued her even more fervently, but she was always very cold. I thought she disliked my poor background, so I told her that although I was a pirate, my father’s identity was very noble. He was a King in the eastern world. in the end, ” Hila said, ” the Queen asked me who my father was. I wasn’t supposed to say it, but she was simply too beautiful and charming. I couldn’t help but say my father’s name. In the end, she was really excited. I thought he was moved, but I didn’t expect her to tell me that I have a younger brother in this Blue Tide Peninsula.”

Shen lang looked at Hila in disbelief. He initially thought that Hila had found the Black Pearl and that it was the Black Pearl who told her. After all, the Black Pearl was the descendant of the skeleton gang. He did not expect her to have found out from Queen Aida. This was too bizarre.

Hila, how did father get involved with the skeleton gang? ” Shen lang asked.

Hila was stunned and asked,’what do you mean by related? My father was the first-generation leader of the skeleton party’s pirate Army.”

Shen lang was stunned again. After a long while, he asked, ” wasn’t the name of the first leader of the skeleton gang Rocky? ”

Shen lang still remembered it very clearly because this name was the evil god in Norse mythology.

Hila laughed and said, ” father, can’t you use a Western name? And this name was given to him by my mother.”

“Who is your mother?” Shen lang asked.

a powerful female pirate named Ahn ‘qiraj, ” Hila said. she’s eight years older than our Father, but she was still tricked into becoming his lifelong admirer.

“What about your mother?” Shen lang asked.

he’s already dead, ” Hila said. her skeleton pirate gang was originally rampant in the Western world, but I heard that her father died suddenly in the eastern world. So she led the skeleton Corps to the South, to go to the lost Country to find top secret weapons to kill her way back to the eastern world to avenge her father. But she failed and died!”

Shen lang fell into silence. He did not expect this to be the truth. Initially, he was very curious. Such a powerful skeleton army had dominated the seas in the Western world, but they had to go to the South for no reason. Now, the truth was finally revealed. It turned out that Shen lang was not the only one who wanted to avenge his father, but his woman in the Western world as well.

“I’m very regretful.” Shen lang sighed.

it’s nothing. Pirates commit crimes and can die every day, right? ” that’s why we all have to enjoy ourselves while we can, ” Hila said, shrugging. ”

“Then, what is The Lost Country?” Shen lang asked.

“I don’t really want to talk about this.” it’s a forbidden zone in the Western world, ” Hila said. legend has it that thousands of years ago, there was a powerful empire in the southern sea of the New World. For some reason, it was destroyed overnight. However, this lost country had a powerful secret weapon that had the power to destroy the world. It was even rumored that the tomb of the sea god was in the ruins of The Lost Country, so countless pirates had gone south to explore The Lost Country, but all of them had failed. After my mother heard the news of Jiang Li’s father’s death, she wanted to explore The Lost Country to find this secret weapon and return to the eastern world.”

“Then, Jian Jia, did you guys find this lost country?” Shen lang asked.

Hila nodded. I’ve been searching for five years. Countless people have died. I’ve finally found it.

“And then?” Shen lang asked.

however, ” Hila said, ” that lost country has already been occupied.

“Who?” Shen lang asked.

I don’t know, ” Hila replied. a very mysterious and powerful force.

“So you guys started a war with that force?” Shen lang asked.

“No, I didn’t,” it’s a very arrogant and mysterious force, ” Hila said. although they have occupied The Lost Country, they did not stop us from landing or stopping us from exploring. Even in The Lost Country, we have never met them. We can feel their existence, but we have never seen them. They are like reclusive people who are high above, looking down on all living beings.”

“And then?” Shen lang asked.

then, ” Hila said, ” we explored The Lost Country, looking for the powerful secret weapon of legend. We’ve found many, many things, some of which are even very magical, but we’ve never found the secret weapon that can destroy the world. Perhaps those secret weapons had already been taken away by that mysterious hidden force. The Lost Nation was a desolate wasteland, a hell of despair.”

From the looks of it, The Lost Empire was not an ancient civilization, but a civilization of this world that existed thousands of years ago. They had also discovered traces of the ancient civilization by chance, so they had become powerful in an instant.

But why did they perish? This was unknown. Shen lang did not even know about the existence of this Lost Empire. He had not seen any records of this Empire in dybosa’s library.

“And then?” Shen lang asked.

and then, ” Hila said, ” we were trapped in The Lost Country.

“What do you mean?” Shen lang asked.

it’s a very strange and unpredictable world, ” Hila said. the direction there changes all the time. When you wake up, the East will no longer be the East, and the West will no longer be the West. After leaving The Lost Country, our fleet kept sailing on the sea. We thought we had traveled tens of thousands of miles, but we were always in the same place, as if it was a Devil’s Whirlpool, and we could never escape. Moreover, there are countless sea beasts in the sea. We are fighting crazily every day, and there are countless deaths and injuries. In the end, we had no choice but to return to the lost Country. We were trapped in that strange country of ruins, and we tried to get out countless times but failed.”

What was going on? The direction of the ocean would keep changing? He could look at the sun and the planets.

we’ve worked hard for ten years, but we’ve never been able to escape those waters. We’re always trying to escape. No matter which direction we go, we’ll always return to the starting point. Once the fleet goes into the sea, we’ll be attacked by crazy sea beasts. We’re the most powerful Pirates in the West. We’re not afraid of any monster. We keep fighting, fighting, and fighting.” so, ” Hila said, ” over the years, our pirate Army of the skeleton party has become stronger and stronger, but it’s as if we’re cursed. We can’t leave.

“And then?” Shen lang asked.

after my father passed away, ” Hila said, ” my mother, Angela, became the leader of the skeleton gang. However, after being trapped in The Lost Country for so many years, many things have changed.”

Shen lang said,”is there a rebellion?”

my mother’s right-hand man, Marshal chalonbass of the skeleton gang, ” Hila said. he said that the skeleton gang was in such a desperate situation because they angered Poseidon, the god of the sea.

Of course, Shen lang knew about Poseidon. In the ancient legends of the Western world, he was also an ancient God. However, what did that have to do with Poseidon?

it’s always been said that there’s the tomb of the sea god in The Lost Country, ” Hila said. it’s the final destination for us Pirates.

“And then?” Shen lang asked.

Chalon bass, the general of the skeleton gang, has been spreading the news that mother Angela has angered the sea god, ” Hila said. that’s why we’re trapped in the ruins of The Lost Country and can’t leave. So, we have to let mother be buried in the sea to worship the sea god Poseidon. Then we can leave this sea.

“Then, your mother was buried at sea?” Shen lang asked.

at that time, countless people were in despair, ” Hila said. although there was no lack of food in The Lost Country’s sea, there was nothing else. Countless people wanted to return to their homeland and return to the sea battlefield, not be trapped in a tomb ruins that has been around for thousands of years. These rumors moved many people. Countless people thought that it was because of mother that our skeleton party fleet was cursed. That’s why mother defeated chalonbass, the skeleton gang, and completely expelled him.”

Eh? It seemed that her father’s girlfriend was not a good person either.

after banishing chalonbass, ” Hila continued, ” mother chose to be buried at sea. Then she died.

Although Hila’s tone was very calm, Shen lang could hear that she was full of sorrow. He could not help but Pat her back gently.

Hila hugged Shen lang and greedily sniffed the scent of her family on him.

of course, my mother Angela sacrificed herself for the sea god Poseidon, but she still couldn’t save the skeleton Corps. Hila sighed. the day my mother was buried in the sea, it was like the god of the sea had appeared. You can’t imagine that scene. A shocking wave that was more than a hundred meters tall appeared. An extremely huge octopus had swallowed the mother. The octopus was as big as a Castle. Besides, the other octopuses don’t have teeth, but that one’s mouth is filled with teeth.”

Shen lang was shocked. An octopus the size of a Castle? The key was what kind of castle was it?

at that time, we all thought that the sea god had appeared, so we immediately led the skeleton party fleet out of The Lost Country. the result is the same, ” Hila said sarcastically. we sailed for a few days and nights, and we still returned to the starting point. We were still cursed, and we were still unable to leave that sea. My dear brother, you can’t imagine it at all. That Sea area is obviously very peaceful, without any hidden reefs or dangerous beaches. It’s just a boundless sea, as if you can leave it easily. But we’ve tried countless times, we’ve sailed for hundreds of thousands of miles, but we’ve never been able to leave.”

“And then?” Shen lang asked.

after my mother was buried in the sea, ” Hila said, ” my heart was in great pain. The entire skeleton gang was in great pain. They were filled with guilt. I know a lot of people want to apologize to me, but I don’t need it. I can’t stay there any longer, so I chose to leave. I took a sailboat and left.”

but, you shouldn’t be able to leave either, ” Shen lang said. you’re trapped there too.

that’s right, ” Hila said. I can’t leave either. I’m trapped. However, I would rather die than return to the ruins of that lost country. My brother, you will never understand that kind of despair.”

Shen lang could not understand, but he could imagine. There was nothing in the ruins of The Lost Country. There was almost no sign of human life. The only mysterious force was still completely hidden, and their figure could never be found. Anyone would go crazy in these empty ruins.

“It’s not just that.” that lost country is really a cursed ruin, ” Hila said. it’s always shrouded in darkness and despair. Anyone who stepped onto that piece of land would feel their entire spiritual world turn dark and desolate, even though the sun was shining brightly. Their hearts would become extremely painful. Over the years, there has been an unknown number of people who committed suicide. There are people committing suicide every day, and the number is increasing.”

Shen Lang’s scalp tingled. This land seemed to have been cursed. Anyone who landed would experience depression. The skeleton army was already extremely strong. They had been trapped and tortured for more than ten years, but they had not committed suicide.

just like that, my ship kept drifting on the sea for more than a month, ” Hila said. I returned to the starting point countless times, but I never set foot on the Land of the Lost Country again. I planned to die in this cursed sea.

“Then how did you escape?” Shen lang asked.

one day, there seemed to be an earthquake at the bottom of the sea, ” Hila said. I saw a ball of fire burst out of the sea not far away and rushed hundreds of meters into the sky. The entire sea was boiling, and the air around me seemed to be burning. I soon suffocated. I thought I was going to die, but it was good to die like that. I welcomed death. I didn’t expect that when I woke up again, I would have already left the cursed waters. My ship floated back to the waters of the xilun dynasty, and I came back alive.”

“There was an earthquake at the bottom of the ocean. When was it?” Shen lang asked.

I don’t know how long I was unconscious, ” Hila said. but it should have been less than two months since the earthquake.

It was indeed that day. The ancient energy ball at the nightmare mountains in the North lost its effect and could no longer suppress the great volcano. The earth-shaking volcanic eruption caused a great earthquake at the bottom of the sea, which almost led to the destruction of the Amazon Empire.

He didn’t expect a chain reaction to happen in The Lost Country’s cursed sea.

The reason why Hila had escaped was clearly related to the eruption of the volcano of nightmares.

However, the cursed waters were still too strange. It could actually trap the entire fleet and make it impossible to leave. It was beyond anyone’s imagination that it could completely overturn the North, South, East, and West.

“Hila, how many people are left in the skeleton fleet?” Shen lang asked.

“More than half.” but there are people committing suicide every day, ” Hila said. especially after their mother’s sea burial, they felt extremely guilty, but they also felt even more despair. Perhaps it won’t be long before this skeleton party fleet is completely destroyed.

“But they are still very strong,” Shen lang said.

of course, ” Hila said. it’s even stronger than the skeleton party’s fleet from more than a decade ago, because we’ve fought countless sea beasts.

Shen lang closed his eyes. If he could help the skeleton fleet get out of trouble, would he be able to obtain the loyalty of this unrivalled fleet?

After all, he was the son of Jiang Li, and Jiang Li was the first-generation leader of the skeleton party. Hila was also his sister. Angela had committed suicide to save the fleet, and although she had failed, the entire skeleton gang was filled with guilt.

Hila, ” Shen lang said, ” have you ever thought about going back to the ruins of The Lost Country and saving the skeleton fleet? ”

“No, I didn’t,” after I returned to the xilun dynasty, I had nothing to live for, ” Hila said directly. I didn’t expect to find you, my brother. Then I’m not alone in this world. From now on, I’ll live with you and protect you forever. Of course, it’ll be even better if we can find Helen. The three of us can only depend on each other.”

Hila clenched her fists and put her arms around Shen Lang’s neck. “My dear brother, you can’t imagine how excited I was when I found out about your existence. My heart was originally completely shrouded in darkness, but suddenly, a hole was torn open, and sunlight shone in. You will never understand the depression, loneliness, and pain in The Lost Country. Especially after my mother was buried at sea, I really can’t find a reason to live in this world.”

Shen lang could understand. When a person had nothing, knowing that there were family members in the world was like having the entire world.

Even though Hila had never met Shen lang before and did not know of his existence, as long as he was her family, he would be her spiritual Savior.

“Big sister is very powerful.” Hila grinned, revealing her white teeth, and said, ” “I will crush anyone who wants to hurt you.”

“My sister, do you know what happened to me?” Shen lang asked.

“I don’t know,” I haven’t talked to anyone since I came to your small city, ” Hila said. I’ve been either sleeping or practicing every day. I don’t want to talk to anyone other than you.

Shen lang said, ” I have a small fleet under me. It’s the Black Pearl Pirates. She is also a child of the skeleton gang.

“Black Pearl?” Hila thought for a long time. there seems to be such a person, ” she said. but I don’t want to think about anything related to the skeleton gang anymore.

Shen lang could understand. Because of her mother’s death, it was hard for her to forgive everyone in the skeleton gang.

Shen lang said,”sister, after my identity in the eastern world was exposed, I was hunted down by the great Yan Empire.” My wife and children have escaped to the great devil triangle, and countless people in the eastern world have died for me. Countless people are waiting for me, so I need to kill my way back to the eastern world.”

Hila looked at Shen lang for a long time and said,’are you also doing this for the so-called Emperor? Just like my father, he left my mother and the skeleton fleet for his so-called Emperor’s power?”

“No, I have no interest in the so-called hegemony of the Emperor.” I want to kill my way back, ” Shen lang said. I want to kill all my enemies. There will be no grudges between us.

Hila’s eyes lit up, and she said, ” “I love you, my dear little brother. You’re much better than our Father in this regard. Although your body is weak, you have a strong soul. What Bullsh * t Emperor’s hegemony, we just want to live a happy life, kill happily, and have a happy day.”

That’s why you went to the Amazon’s reproduction ceremony? You’re born in the wrong place. You should be a man, not a woman.

but, ” Hila said. I will never let you risk your life in The Lost Country. It’s a cursed place. If he went, he would never be able to leave again. Even the gods can’t save the skeleton Corps, so you can’t either. Let them be destroyed and sent to hell.”

my dear brother, I will not go to the lost Country, and I will not allow you to go. you need a fleet, ” Hila said. do you? ” I’m the most powerful pirate. I’ll train a fleet for you, and I’ll go to the sea to catch people for you. You can have as many Pirates as you want, and I’ll be your best Navy Commander.”

Shen lang laughed bitterly in his heart. Of course, he believed that Hila had the ability, but he did not have the time. Moreover, a trained pirate fleet could not compare to the skeleton Corps, which was an invincible fleet.

“I’m warning you seriously, I won’t allow you to go.” Hila held Shen Lang’s face. if you dare to go, I will strangle you to death first. Then, I will strangle myself to death. I will not allow you to go to that cursed hell.

Shen lang looked into Hila’s eyes. He realized that although her eyes looked wild, they were filled with despair, loneliness, and even fear.

Being trapped in the ruins of The Lost Country for more than a decade had brought great damage to her spirit and soul, especially her mother’s death.

“Alright, I promise you.” Shen lang said.

“Be good!” Hila pinched Shen Lang’s nose and said, ” you’re exactly like the little brother I imagined you to be. In fact, you’re even more perfect. Let’s go, I’ll take you to a place.

After that, Hila held Shen Lang’s hand and walked out.

“Where are we going?” Shen lang said.

go to the reproduction Island, ” Hila said. someone is still waiting for you up there. Didn’t I say that we should live happily in this world? I promised Queen Aida that I would bring you to her. ”

Shen lang did have an appointment with the Amazon Queen, but too many things had happened recently, and he missed most of them.

“The reproduction ceremony is about to end.” Shen lang said.

but the Queen will always wait for you, ” Hila said. you don’t understand a woman’s promise. Do you think you’re as much of a bastard as you men? just like our dogshit heroic father who left without a word, leaving my mother to wait for him for a lifetime. That’s why I’ve never believed in love. I don’t like men, I only love women. Of course, you’re an exception. I still love you very much, my little brother, even though you may be a bastard as well.”

Queen Aida is practically the most beautiful and most powerful woman in the entire West. She simply mesmerized my soul and dazed me. it’s not just me, ” Hila said. she’s the dream woman of all men in the Western world. If you weren’t my most beloved little brother, I would have definitely dueled with you for her favor.”

Just like that, Hila grabbed Shen Lang’s hand and pulled him toward the dock.

Zhang Chunhua, the Black Pearl, LAN Feng, Princess Dora, and the others had caught up.

“Your Majesty!”

Your Highness! general LAN-Feng could also see that Hila and Jiang Li did look alike.

Your Highness Hila, ” the Black Pearl said timidly, ” can I go with you? ”

Black Pearl also knew Hila, but she was too young and had never seen Jiang Li before. She didn’t even know that Jiang Li was the first leader of the skeleton gang. She kept saying that the first leader was Loki, but she didn’t even say that he was an Asian.

Although Jiang Li was the first leader of the skeleton gang, it was the Pirate Queen Angela who made it stronger. She was the master of the skeleton gang. It was too early for Jiang Li to leave this fleet.

In the eyes of the Black Pearl, Hila was an absolute idol-level character, shining with boundless radiance.

no, I don’t want to have any more entanglements with the skeleton gang. Hila rejected him directly, her attitude very cold.

Then, she boarded a sailboat and brought Shen lang to the island of seeds to complete the reproduction ceremony with Queen Aida.

………………

On the island of borrowing seeds.

The ceremony of reproduction had ended, and all the Amazons had left, but Queen Aida was still there. Her tent was set up alone on the island.

She had been waiting for Shen lang for more than half a month. Men were all liars. They promised that they would come, but they did not.

Although the deadline had passed by a few days, Queen Aida would continue to wait, even though she had already missed her reproduction cycle. However, some things were not entirely for reproduction.

She was the most powerful woman in the entire Western world, and also the woman he had dreamed of the most.

She looked to the East and waited for Shen Lang’s boat to appear.

But at this moment, something flashed in front of Youyou’s eyes.

A ship appeared, and a man with white hair and a beard stood on the bow. It was the mysterious and strange Adolf, the powerful man who appeared with the snowdrift boat from the White capital. He was the man full of strange power who appeared when the Amazon Kingdom was destroyed.

Queen Aida, kneel down and pledge your allegiance to me. Adolf said slowly,”you are waiting for that Eastern man, Shen lang?” No, no, he’s not worthy of being your man. ”

I’ll give you two choices. Either you kneel down and pledge your loyalty to me and become my woman, or you die!

………………

[ note: the last day of the monthly votes was overturned, and your face was full of tears! ] Brothers, it’ll be April in three hours. You must give me your monthly ticket. I’m really begging you, don’t make me cry until I’m dry.
