In the palace of the ancient battlefield, Sonia was lying on the bed in a daze. Although the main palace was in the Sky Garden, they also built palaces in the ancient battlefield and Fenghuaxueyue. However, compared with the sky garden with birds singing and flowers blooming, the ancient battlefield and Fenghuaxueyue were indeed not habitable. Outside was either desert or sea.
The azure starlight shines through the window screen and blends into the gentle darkness in the room. Loneliness permeates the air but it is not suffocating. Instead, it can make people feel at ease and forget all their worries. The day and night system of the Kingdom of Heaven is very simple. There is a miraculous light source during the day, which is directly withdrawn at night, allowing the glow of the stars on the seventh floor of the virtual realm to shine in.
Sonia sat up slowly, the thin blanket sliding down to her thighs. She glanced at the night outside and murmured, "It's so late."
She put on her shoes and socks and got out of bed. She leaned over to the mirror and looked at herself carefully in the dim starlight. "My eyes seem a little red..."
She looked in the mirror and began to daydream again, forcing a smile, looking at the red-haired girl in the mirror and whispered, "He doesn't know I'm here."
The tip of her finger gently stroked her eye sockets to wipe away the traces of cowardice, and the heroic swordsman returned. She patted her face to adjust her mentality, left the bedroom and prepared to go back to the sky garden.
But just as she was about to leave the palace, she saw the seven-winged magician flying over from afar with a dazzling glow, like a meteor streaking through the night sky. He became even more anxious when he saw Sonia appear, and shouted from afar: "Don't run, don't run first!"
Sonia wanted to laugh when she saw him, and deliberately made a move to turn around. Ash's speed suddenly soared 100%, and he crashed into Sonia like a dump truck. The two rolled on the ground of the palace for a few rounds, and Ash hurriedly said, "Can you take a look at this gift before you leave? I've been busy all afternoon!"
"Don't worry, I won't leave."
Sonia smiled and looked at the gift that Ash carefully protected even when he was rolling. "This is..."
bouquet.
The cone-shaped cymes, with sparse branches and small, slightly glowing white-gold flowers dotted on them, looked like all the stars in the sky had been plucked. Sonia took the bouquet, looked left and right, and looked at Ash with a confused look on her face.
Ash was quite nervous: "How is it? Doesn't it look good?"
"It's nice to look at, but..." Sonia said, "I don't see anything special about it."
“It glows!”
"Besides being pretty and glowing? You just said you were busy all afternoon... preparing this bouquet?"
"Don't think it's easy. It took me a long time to grow flowers around the wishing well. This is because we moved the wishing well and the ecosystem here, so I was able to build an environment for the flowers to grow so quickly. What you are holding is the third version. I didn't like the first two versions because they were not pretty enough, so I improved them to the current version..."
"Wait," Sonia blinked and grasped the key point: "Did you make this yourself using the wishing well?"
"Yes, if you don't believe me, let's go to the wishing well!" Ash took Sonia's hand and wanted to fly out, boasting proudly, "The plains around the wishing well are full of these flowers, and the sky and the ground are full of stars. It's very beautiful. I think we can camp there, or just move the palace there-"
"It's not that I don't believe it," Sonia held him back, amused and puzzled, "It's just that if you want to give me flowers, can't you just pick them from the Sky Garden? Why do you have to grow them yourself?"
"Because the Sky Garden belongs to Vichy." Ash looked at the red-haired girl and said as a matter of course: "This bouquet of flowers is a gift I want to give you. How can you pick them from her garden?"
Sonia was startled, then her expression gradually became gentle, she lowered her eyelids and smiled softly: "You..."
"What?"
"I said I like it very much," Sonia said with a smile, holding the flowers in her hands, "but don't you think it's a bit of a waste for a Supreme Sorcery Master like you to spend an entire afternoon studying flowers? I feel like I've become a demon concubine who's trying to seduce you and distract you from your work."
"I think so too." Ash scratched his head. "I would never do this in my past. Even if I wanted to give you a gift, I would prepare something useful for you. When I passed by the wishing well, I was thinking about summoning a few rare spirits that could help you and making a beautiful and useful spirit bouquet. Isn't this more meaningful than just flowers?"
Sonia nodded repeatedly. This realist who was contrary to romance was the Ash she knew: "Then why didn't you do it?"
"How should I put it..." Ash crossed his arms and thought, "Maybe it's because I feel safe. I think we don't have to pursue meaning in everything, so... I just want to do something that is meaningless but will make you happy."
"The Shuling bouquet is beautiful and useful. This bouquet is just beautiful. But I think you would be happier receiving this bouquet."
Sonia narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth in a dangerous arc: "You mean to say that I'm the kind of vulgar, vain, stupid country girl who only cares about appearance and wants to waste your time to ask for your love?"
At this moment, Ash completely understood that he could not beat this woman - I just said that you should be happier, how could you understand it to this extent! ? Even if it is not taken out of context, it is at least a distortion of right and wrong, and it is forcing me to be a pig!
"Do you understand what to do?" Sonia said slowly.
"Understood," Ash said depressedly, "I'll make up for the bouquet of magic spirits tomorrow."
"good."
Sonia turned and left. Ash looked at her nervously, but she just took out a vase, put the bouquet in it, poured some water to maintain it, and placed it in the center of the palace for appreciation.
"Don't you like it?"
"Who said I don't like it?" Sonia rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Does this flower have a name?"
"This is what I bred through the wishing well, and it was mainly mixed with the law of the wish spirit," Ash thought for a while, "Let's call it the wish flower!"
"Yes." Sonia said with disdain: "Even if you can pick the baby's breath, I will consider that you have tried your best. Can you please be more careful?"
"Then why don't you pick a name?" Ash was dissatisfied.
"It's related to the Wish Spirit. It looks like a sky full of stars..." Sonia pondered for a moment and blinked at Ash:
"It's better to call it "I wish to win the heart of one person." "
A few kilometers away, the fields around the wishing pool were full of glittering platinum flowers, which merged with the bright sea of stars, creating a dreamlike, tranquil and beautiful scene. In the palace of the ancient battlefield, Ash rushed over and hugged Sonia into his arms, but he didn't dare to use too much force, and could even be called cautious, as if the person in his arms was a bubble that could burst at any time.
"Don't do this next time we quarrel, okay?" Ash said softly, "I'm really afraid that you'll suddenly disappear and leave me."
"Are you qualified to say such things?" Sonia put her arms around his waist, rested her chin on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "It's you who likes to disappear suddenly."
"So you won't break up?" Ash asked nervously, "Let me make it clear first. Even if you want to break up, I will stick with you. I can't bear to leave you."
Looking at this pitiful dog man, Sonia chuckled, stretched out her hand and tugged at Ash's face fiercely, with a charming look flowing down her eyebrows, and said softly: "I can't bear to part with him either."
Ash held her hand and walked into the palace, looking left and right, not knowing what he was looking for. As soon as the fat tail of the Labrador wagged, Sonia knew what he was thinking, and pointed to the front and said, "That's the bedroom."
Ash blinked. "Huh? I just want to find a place to sit down and chat. Nothing else!"
Sonia glanced at the chairs in the hall, pouted, and pulled Ash into the bedroom, pushed him onto the bed, and reached directly into the belt. Ash grabbed her hand and asked nervously, "Do you want to smoke?"
"No." Sonia shook her head and said in a light voice: "You don't like the smell of smoke."
She hugged Ash and kissed him, but Ash put a finger between their lips. They stared at each other almost face to face, and the room fell into silence for a while. The dim starlight could not dispel the darkness of the room, but it was enough to illuminate the emotions surging in their eyes.
"… Can't we just skip the process and make peace right away?" Sonia took the initiative to break the silence and asked softly, "Can't we just finish it and go back happily together as if nothing happened?"
Ash blinked and suddenly burst out laughing. Sonia was slightly embarrassed and angry: "You laughed at me!?"
"No, I was just thinking that we are a perfect match made in heaven. We even came up with the same strategy." Ash hugged her and said with a smile, "I want to use the honey trap to make you let down your guard and open up, and you also want to use the honey trap to get you over there. This is a win-win for both parties!"
"Bullshit!" Sonia snorted and laughed, "Your beauty trap is just a food trap at best!"
Ash looked at her, lowered his head and kissed her, surging, stirring, and lingering. When the two of them were entangled in dishevelled clothes, Ash suddenly stopped, looked at her seriously and asked, "Can you really bear to make me sad?"
Sonia bit her lower lip lightly, breathing shallowly and quickly, and subconsciously looked away: "... You are breaking the rules by doing this."
"But I really can't guess what you're thinking this time." Ash said sincerely, "Let's take an open-book exam together this time, okay?"
Sonia rolled her eyes at him helplessly, buried herself in his arms and remained silent for a moment, then uttered a muffled voice: "I want to help you."
"I will accept whoever you like in the future. I will accompany you no matter how you play. I will help you manage the team and the kingdom of heaven. I will never let you worry or be sad again."
"No matter what you do, I will support you. No matter what happens, I will stand by your side." She raised her head and looked at Ash with hope: "I am willing to be your partner who supports you unconditionally. You just need to rely on me as much as you can... Okay?"
