After coming down from the Black Dragon Terrace, Bai Ling's illness lasted for more than a month, and he hardly ever got out of bed. And during the time when Bai Ling was sick in bed, the heavy rain in the demon world never stopped, and it continued to pour for a long time. It wasn't until a few days ago that it finally calmed down, revealing the long-awaited sun. It was only these few days that Bai Ling's health finally improved, and he was able to get out of bed and walk.
"My lord! Although today's weather is very warm and sunny, you still have to pay more attention to your health!" A young maid with delicate eyebrows, holding a precious robe, stood behind Bai Ling and said, "I see , you'd better put on this robe, lest you catch a cold and suffer more."
The little maid was enthusiastic and quick-hearted, and she was about to put on Bai Ling's clothes...
Bai Ling smiled, and didn't want to take away her kindness, so he honestly let her put it on.
It's funny to say that since Bai Ling had a servant who was specially used to serve him thirty years ago, after sleeping with Fang Ye, he never used another servant. At first, he was really frightened by that boy. Secondly, it is really because he lives here alone, and he really has nothing to be served by others. Living alone, it is still relatively clean.
Like this kind-hearted, well-behaved and lovable little maid, Hanako Sakura specially found him after he fell ill this time.
At first, Bai Ling thought that Hanako Ying was playing some tricks, so he specially sent a maid over to watch him. But later he realized that this was all because he was overthinking.
This Hanako Sakura not only gave him, but also sent such a personal servant girl to everyone in the harem. However, as to whether they will use it or reuse it, that is not something Bai Ling can worry about. Anyway, judging from his current appearance, it is quite good to have such a well-behaved and sensible maid by his side.
Even if she was really sent by Hanako Sakura to watch him, Bai Ling would not be afraid at all. Because, in some respects, Bai Ling no longer had anything that could threaten Hanako Sakura. Therefore, no matter what Hanako Ying said, she would definitely not attack Bai Ling.
Moreover, if Hanako Sakura really wanted to kill him, she would have taken advantage of his illness to kill him. That would allow him to continue recuperating and resting comfortably in this harem.
Bai Ling closed his eyes slightly, and his whole body was bathed in the warm sunlight.
I don't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that after Aoki's death, he seemed to be very indifferent to everything. What kind of love, what kind of vows, what kind of unswerving love until death. It's all just a scam...
Bai Ling slightly opened his eyes, and under the scorching sunlight, a piece of pink peach blossomed. This flower is so bright after all. Even the heavy rain a month ago couldn't shake the flowers on the peach branch in the slightest.
Bai Ling smiled slightly, just like this peach blossom, fresh and bright, attracting attention.
"Xiaoyu, accompany me to the Imperial Garden."
The little maid named Tao Yu'er immediately nodded and said, "Okay, my lord, please come this way, and I'll bring you some tea cakes and desserts~~"
"Well..." Bai Ling nodded slightly, looked at her and said, "I'll wait for you at the door..."
...
After a long rain, this elegant and luxurious imperial garden looks more radiant and full of vitality. The charming fragrance comes out one after another, refreshing the heart and lungs.
The two masters and servants strolled in the imperial garden, admiring the blooming flowers, so leisurely and comfortable.
However, what Bai Ling cares most about is the thousand-year-old peach tree that has already given birth to a spiritual realm. After all, no matter what, it was the most precious gift Fang Ye gave him before. Even if Fang Ye already has someone else in his heart now, he no longer loves him. But that peach tree is still Bai Ling's favorite thing.
Of course, liking peach blossoms and peach trees may be because Bai Ling was influenced by his mother since he was a child, so he became so fond of peach blossoms.
Back then, Bai Ling's mother, Tao Ji, was famous in the demon world for her ability to grow peach blossoms, cultivate peach trees, and brew high-quality peach blossom wine. It was precisely because of this peach blossom that Bai Ling's mother and his father formed a bond and gave birth to him and his two older brothers. Although his parents and those two older brothers were long gone, they vanished into thin air. But this temperament that loves peach blossoms is deeply engraved in his heart.
Bypassing an ordinary sea of flowers, the peach blossom tree full of aura, which gave birth to the spiritual realm, came into view...
come into view...
Um? What about the peach blossoms? What about the tree?
Bai Ling was extremely surprised. The peach tree that should have been erected by the Hulong River with its blossoming peach blossoms and luxuriant branches and leaves had disappeared. There was only a big hole left in the original place, which was obviously dug away by others.
Bai Ling's complexion was a bit unsightly, and a sense of weakness emerged spontaneously.
"Xiaoyu, help me to ask the steward of the imperial garden to find out why the thousand-year-old peach tree is missing!"
"Okay!" The little maid nodded and said, "I'll go back as soon as I go!"
Tao Yu'er put the cakes in her hands away, and ran back and forth in a hurry. The whole process can be described as extremely fast.
Panting, Tao Yu'er looked at Bai Ling and said, "My lord, the person in charge said that in the imperial garden from now on, all the peach blossoms will be replaced with cherry blossoms, and no more peach blossoms are allowed to bloom here."
Bai Ling raised her eyebrows: "Then have you asked who said this?"
Tao Yu'er nodded: "I asked, but the person in charge said that this is an order from Master Ying!"
"Master Sakura?"
Bai Ling pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about who this Master Ying was.
Seeing this, Tao Yu'er couldn't help reminding Bai Ling: "My lord, have you forgotten? Master Ying is the demon queen! It's just that the master doesn't like being called the demon queen, so he changed his name to Master Ying."
Only then did Bai Ling wake up... It turned out that the person was Hanako Ying.
Bai Ling didn't speak in silence, just stood there very silently, his whole expression seemed to be sad, but also seemed to be worthless for himself.
Fang Ye! Fang Ye!
Is it really so unimportant that I, Bai Ling, are in your heart? He Hanako Sakura gave an order to destroy the best memory between me and you at will. Even so, do you still ignore it
Back then, it took you a lot of effort to get that peach tree to be given to you by the Antarctic Fairy willingly. Now, in order to win the smile of his beauty, Hanako Sakura, you just throw her aside casually and don't care about it.
Fang Ye, you are so cruel...
Looking at the empty peach tree pit, Bai Ling didn't know what it was like. That bitter feeling made Bai Ling's heart ache, but also helpless.
At this time, he truly understood Aoki's mood at that time.
A person who doesn't even care about the most important token of love between you, is this kind of person really worthy of my continued love
Bai Ling couldn't help but ask herself like this...
A heart-warming fragrance of flowers hit the surroundings, with a breath of spring sunshine, lingering in Bai Ling's heart. Looking at the other blooming flowers around, Bai Ling had a bold decision slowly brewing in his heart.
And standing beside him, Tao Yu'er, who has been silently accompanying him, seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and said to Bai Ling: "That's right! My lord, I suddenly remembered! I know why Master Ying likes cherry blossoms so much." , and don't like peach blossoms."
Bai Ling glanced at her indifferently, and asked, "Why?"
Tao Yu'er said innocently and romantically: "Because at that time, when Mr. Ying was selecting us maids, he accidentally said these words to Tao Hua. That scene, that picture, I still dare not forget..."
"Oh?" After saying that, Bai Ling became interested.
"How did he say it, why don't you tell me in detail??"
Tao Yu'er nodded with a smile, "Okay sir, no problem!"
As she said that, Tao Yu'er began to recall what she had seen before.
That day, Hanako Sakura was alone in a courtyard with peach blossoms. The fingertips gently brushed the dead branches of the peach tree, with a look of pity and disgust.
"Peach blossoms, peach blossoms! Why do you bloom so gorgeously? So gorgeous, the world can't help but ignore the cherry blossoms that bloomed at the same time as you." Hanako Sakura looked at the peach blossoms in front of her, with a very sad expression on her face. But under his hand, he gently caressed the peach branch, and then suddenly folded it, destroying the incomparably bright peach blossom with ruthless hands.
Such a fierce and ruthless appearance is completely different from what everyone sees in normal times.
And Tao Yu'er, who was hiding in the dark and happened to bump into this scene, was naturally extremely frightened and dared not stay any longer.
... ... ..
Listening to Tao Yu'er's description, Bai Ling felt another change in his mind. Even through Tao Yu'er's simple description, he can understand that Hanako Sakura hates Tao Hua deeply.
Presumably there must be some deeper connection between him and this peach blossom. It's just that Bai Ling at this moment has no intention of getting to know him more deeply.
Bai Ling clapped his hands, smiled at Tao Yu'er, "That's right, I probably already know how much he hates Tao Hua."
Facing Bai Ling's smile, Tao Yu'er also smiled a little embarrassedly...
"Hey, at the beginning, it was also because there was a peach in my name, so I was not particularly attracted to Master Ying. When the manager told me that I was going to be sent to serve other people, I was still a little worried and scared. I was afraid of Sakura. Will the adults deliberately assign me to those masters who are particularly difficult to serve because they don't like me. But now it seems... "
Speaking of this, Tao Yu'er actually blushed a little...
"But now it seems... Sakura-sama treats me better than others..."
Tao Yu'er blushed, not daring to look at Bai Ling who was bathing in the sun.
Bai Ling remained expressionless, and said calmly, "No, he really hates you from the bottom of his heart! Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent you to me."
Tao Yu'er was a little taken aback by Bai Ling's words, but she didn't realize it for a while.
"What? What did you say, my lord...why do I not understand?" Tao Yu'er patted her head, feeling a little dazed.
Bai Ling smiled: "It's nothing... just follow me to a place..."
Bai Ling stretched out his hand to hold Tao Yu'er, and walked straight out of the imperial garden.
Tao Yu'er suddenly had intimate contact with Bai Ling, and her whole body instantly turned red, even the roots of her ears were red. The whole person's expression was a little dazed.
Although she knew that Bai Ling was the male favorite of the Demon King, and he was the kind who was crushed under him. But that unexplainable liking just occupied her brain and her young heart for no reason. Before she knew it, she had completely fallen in love with the adult he served.
Tao Yu'er's voice was a little soft, and compared to her previous appearance, she looked like a completely different person.
"My... my lord... where are we going?"
Bai Ling didn't turn his head back and said, "You'll know when you go..."
