…

When the carriage drove into the eastern urban area, the houses on both sides of the road were obviously dilapidated. Single-family or townhouse villas became increasingly rare. Correspondingly, there were low-rent apartments one after another.

Every city has a huge number of poor people, and big cities are no exception.

As the largest slum in the Winton Kingdom, there are countless people at the bottom of society living here. They have no savings or very little. They can only obtain daily food by doing some manual labor. The environment here is also extremely harsh and the roads are broken.

, muddy, dirty air, and sewage running rampant.

Meili is no stranger to these things. After all, she has grown up here since she was a child. She is well aware of hunger and poverty, and has witnessed the darkness and deceitfulness of the world early on.

However, after enjoying the luxury of the upper class and setting foot here again, some subtle psychological changes occurred.

This feeling reached its climax when Meili got off the carriage, walked through the stinking ditch-like alley, and arrived at a very dilapidated and old apartment.

"Meili? Isn't it just Tuesday today? Why are you back?" When she opened the door, her mother, who was immersed in washing the dishes, asked in surprise.

Yes, Meili's home is here.

"Come back and see you."

Meili said calmly, her eyes sweeping across the dark apartment.

The family was as poor and cold as ever. It was only as big as a palm, but it was crowded with a whole family.

At this moment, hearing his voice, a hunchbacked middle-aged man poked his head out, his face full of numbness:

"How much money did you bring back?"

Meili felt an inexplicable feeling of nausea in her heart, but she still threw the savings she had accumulated in anger, with some force, almost hitting her.

However, the man named father didn't care and finally showed a smile.

"Where's Joan? Where is she?" Mellie asked.

"I went to the public restroom. When I got out, I was only a little big and had a lot to eat." The man muttered dissatisfiedly.

"I'll go find her." Meili said coldly, then turned around and glanced at her timid mother holding a rag beside her. Her tone finally softened, "I'll come back later."

After saying that, she went straight downstairs and walked through the cold and cramped corridor. Her eyes lit up and she saw a skinny girl about eight or nine years old walking back slowly.

Seeing Meili, the little girl named Qiong's eyes lit up: "Sister! You are back!"

After saying that, she ran over, and a real smile finally appeared on Meili's face. She squatted down, hugged her sister, and said, "Well, I'm back, and I brought a gift to Qiong."

"A gift? Is it food?" Feeling her sister's question, Qiong raised her head, her eyes that were extraordinarily large due to her thinness were full of longing.

"No," Meili gave it a try and smiled before her sister showed disappointment, "It's just something that's countless times better than food."

"What is it?"

"Come, let's find a secluded place, and my sister will show it to you." Meili stood up, took her sister's hand, looked around cautiously, then took the latter and hid in a corner of the apartment.

She remembered that the house in this area was not rented out and was relatively quiet.

At this moment, the last ray of the setting sun has completely disappeared, and Winton Metropolis has entered night.

Yes, Meili was going to give tonight's wish to her sister. As for the news that might be leaked, since she wanted her family to live a good life, it was inevitable and she had also thought of an excuse.

After entering the corridor and confirming that there was no one around, Meili took her sister and sat on the cold steps, and then carefully took out the "prayer candle" and a matchbox from her arms.

"Qiong, my sister has just learned magic and can conjure up what you want. Do you want to see it?" Mei Li asked gently.

Qiong blinked and nodded vigorously, no doubt that he was there.

"The magic is very simple. Wait for my sister to light this candle, and then you can make a wish for it. Just say whatever you want."

Seeing her sister nodding, Mei Li took out a match, struck it, and opened it.

Immediately, the half of the candle that seemed to never burn out became brighter.

"Come on, make a wish." Meili urged.

"Is anything okay?"

"Of course, anything is fine."

Qiong swallowed her saliva and looked awkwardly at the flames in front of her. Her hands seemed to be pulled by some force, and she clasped her hands in front of her body.

Feeling the temperature of the nearby candle and the dryness of her stomach, she thought for a while, her eyes briefly confused, and a voice gradually amplified in her heart:

"I make a wish...I want a cake, no, two, no...I want a lot of cakes...even if I eat them for a hundred or ten thousand years, I won't be able to finish them all..."

In the quiet corridor, the dim light of the candle illuminated the two sisters. The flame trembled slightly, and then spread out a circle of light.

The halo is getting bigger and bigger.

It penetrated the walls, apartments, streets... quietly rolled through the entire East District, and continued to spread.

…

…

North District, inside Count Ander's Mansion.

The handsome and tall second son of the earl was sitting on the sofa with his eyes blankly staring at the empty coffee table. His ears were echoing with the words of the church personnel who came to "investigate" with the police department during the day.

Yes, as the second son of an earl, he has some understanding of the so-called supernatural power. He knows that that power does still exist. It is hidden in the churches in every city and secretly maintains the order of the kingdom.

"But...how is it possible...that beautiful lady...why doesn't she exist?"

He muttered to himself, scratching his hair in pain, his eyes full of pain.

Suddenly, something appeared out of thin air in his field of vision.

He was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and found a cake on the coffee table in front of him. It was about the size of a basin, three stories high, filled with cream, and large, bright red strawberries on the top.

"Who brought it? I'm not in the mood to eat right now!" he yelled somewhat depressedly.

The servants who heard the sound looked at each other in shock. A maid hesitated for a moment and said in a trembling voice, "Master, we didn't put it there, it just... appeared suddenly."

"Suddenly? Ha? Are you making fun of me?" The young man laughed, and was about to say something more. Suddenly, he was horrified to see two more cakes on the coffee table.

…

In the laundry.

After nightfall, the female workers dispersed and went home, and the shop became quiet.

The mean-looking Mrs. Slim returned to her room with a sullen face.

He took off his coat, turned on the gas light switch, and was stunned to see a large cake that was four levels high on the table.

"Holy Spirit!" She whispered, and then she was a little surprised. Although she didn't know the origin, she walked over quickly, pinched a strawberry and stuffed it into her mouth... and then she squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

But when she opened her eyes again, she was shocked to find that the cakes in front of her had become five.

…

Thorn Flower Street.

"Miss, it's not safe to go out so late."

In a certain mansion, an elderly maid couldn't help but said.

However, Miss Daisy, who was obviously in a bad mood, was too lazy to pay attention to her and just said: "The housekeeper will stay with me, I just went out to relax."

At the same time, he opened the door and walked out.

"It's better to wait until the master comes back..."

"ah!"

The next second, the elderly maid standing in the corridor heard a horrified cry from the young lady outside the door.

She hurriedly ran out, and then she was shocked to find that cakes appeared on the street and in the buildings without knowing when. They were so densely packed that there were probably thousands of them.

It’s still increasing rapidly!

Even the yard is full of piles, making it almost impossible to stay.

Further away, the carriages driving on the street were also forced to stop.

Citizens were astonished to avoid the delicious cakes that appeared out of thin air one after another, and some were even drowned by the tall cream falling from the chimney.

"No!"

"damn it!"

"How is this going?"

It's a mess.

…

Metropolitan, church headquarters.

The lights are bright.

"Grand Priest! An extraordinary supernatural event has occurred!!" When a church extraordinary person ran and anxiously pushed open Anne Hathaway's room.

Just then, he saw Hathaway, who was wearing a crimson robe and a crown of pure white flowers, holding a small cake with a frosty face.

In the bedroom next to her, new cakes appeared out of thin air every second.
