Alaya, who took care of Lid to sleep, did not realize the seriousness of the problem at this time.
At the young master's insistence, she had no choice but to take off the armor on her body, and was hugged by her young master to sleep all night.
It was still snowing heavily outside, but it was warm inside the house with the fire. It was completely different from the time when she was alone some time ago. At that time, Alaiya would feel cold every midnight, and no matter how thick the quilt seemed, it couldn't stop the severe cold outside. But it's different now. When she was with the young master, Alaya quickly felt that she became warmer, and even her body was slightly hot.
She didn't want to fall asleep so soon, she would look at the young master's sleeping face every once in a while, and stretch out her hand to try the young master's hand lightly, to see if he felt cold.
It wasn't until the middle of the night, thinking that she had to get up early to prepare breakfast for the young master, that Alaiya closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. That night, she dreamed that she and the young master were both old. The young master was sitting on the deck chair, yawning and slowly peeling the oranges. She stood behind the young master and fanned him. It was a sunny day, the courtyard was lush with vegetation, and the breeze carried the fragrance of flowers. Everything was so beautiful.
So the next day, Alaiya wrapped herself in a warm quilt and didn't wake up in time.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Lide in the kitchen adding pepper to the fried rice in the pot, and at the same time said to the woman in plain clothes wearing a cloak:
"Let's eat fried rice with eggs. It must be served with freshly ground black pepper. This taste is authentic. Note that the selection of vegetables must be good. Potatoes and cabbage are an absolute minefield. You can put some carrots and celery in a low-key manner. It reveals a bit of luxury, and our Yuxi City likes this one."
The woman in plain clothes looked a little chilly, she still used a wooden shovel to stir fry the rice in the pot evenly, and said in her mouth:
"I like to eat or not."
Aleya rubbed her sleepy eyes, always felt that she had seen that woman somewhere before, but she was a little strange. But seeing that she is very close to the young master, maybe she is someone the young master knows, so I have to get up early to say hello.
As soon as Alaya straightened up, she heard her young master say:
"Speaking of which, do you owe me something?"
The woman in plain clothes said without raising her head:
"What?"
Lide clapped his hands again and again, gesticulating in the air:
"Giants! I am such a big group of giants. They were still here just now. How can they be gone?"
The woman in plain clothes took out the rice from the pot and said:
"Three hundred low giants, plus one high giant, no more."
Lied said angrily:
"You're robbing? At least give me half of it. I'm in the north, lonely, weak and helpless, but I still have to cheer up and make my own contribution to the development of mankind. What kind of spirit is this? This is our Yuxi City Selfless devotion. Look at yourself again, sitting at home and enjoying more than half of it when you reach out, it’s too selfish, too narrow, and too shameless! Let’s talk about it, and we can get half of the property in divorce.”
The woman in plain clothes threw the spatula into the pot, brought the fried rice to the dining table, glanced at Alaiya who had woken up, and turned to Lid and said:
"You think you can bring these people back to Yuxi City on your own? In the history of Eternal Heaven Kingdom, there have been almost no giant slaves, and the territories passing by will not believe your one-sided words. Or find a reason to hold them back It's normal to take it as your own, or simply hunt down all of you."
Leed folded his arms, leaned against the cabinet, and said:
"Is this an excuse for you to carve up?"
The woman in plain clothes returned to the kitchen, and while soaking the spatula in the water, said flatly:
"Lingwu took most of it, but at least I can guarantee that you can take the rest back to Yuxi City intact."
"You also know that you took most of it! Sure enough, it is difficult to guard against house thieves by day and night..."
"One more word, and I will also detain the remaining giants in Lingwu."
"How dare you! To tell you the truth, this is not the territory of Lingwu. If you don't accept it, you can try a fight, and you will be rewarded!"
"Sooner or later, the Lonely Night territory will be mine. And you may not be able to beat me."
"I got fucking help. Alayah—"
Alaya sat on the bed blankly, watching the scene in front of her.
The moment she looked at the woman in plain clothes, she recognized her identity. Although this person changed into clothes that didn't match his temperament at all, and he didn't put on the majestic makeup like before, and even took off the veil on his face, Alayya could still recognize him.
Because in her memory, she has never seen a girl who is more beautiful than the person in front of her.
In Yuxi City, Heyue and Doris are also very good-looking, and the white porcelain doll she has seen before is also very good-looking. But they all have more or less obvious regrets, such as He Yue's confusing gender, Doris's long ears and exotic dress, and Huang Yan has almost no color except for her pupils.
But the person in front of him is different. She is the kind of beauty that you can't pick out any obvious flaws after looking at her for ten minutes, and she is the ultimate beauty in the attribute of queen. Such a person can only have one identity, that is, the master of the Lingwu territory, the high and mighty Lingwu lord in the past—
That woman that Alaiya had practiced countless times how to kill in the past.
Master... Do you have a good relationship with her
Or is it a bad relationship? Although I have been arguing, it always feels like it is not that simple.
Alaya opened her mouth, suddenly feeling that this was not the question she should ask.
She came back to her senses, remembering that the young master called her name just now, without saying a word, she took the long sword under the pillow in her hand, turned over and sat up quickly. Before he had time to change into the familiar armor, he flashed to the young master in pajamas with a sword, separating the young master from this woman who didn't look like a good person.
Lord Lingwu glanced at her and frowned slightly.
Lied stared at Lord Lingwu, and at the same time reached out and touched Alaya's head, saying:
"I didn't expect that, Zhao Zhao, this is my ambush—"
The atmosphere was suddenly tense. Although Alaya knew that she might not be able to defeat the Lord of Lingwu, but since the young master was behind her, no matter who was standing in front of her, she would treat him equally.
Alayya didn't show any timidity, and looked at Lord Lingwu expressionlessly. The sword in her hand was out of its sheath, reflecting a sharp cold light.
However, at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew from the window, and the cry of the baby broke the quiet atmosphere in the house.
Li De and Lord Lingwu immediately retracted their posture and looked at the baby girl on the chair at the same time. Chocolate's sixteen tentacles waved wildly, and its two little hands kept grabbing in the air.
Lord Lingwu said to Lide coldly:
"You're too loud."
After finishing speaking, he walked towards Chocolate first, and carefully hugged her in his arms and coaxed her.
Lide scratched his head, and his momentum weakened a bit. Who made him the last one to speak just now
Lide said helplessly as he walked over:
"Blame me, blame me. How about this, you can give as much as you say, and we will use the rest as money for the baby's milk powder..."
Chocolat lay in the arms of Lord Lingwu and kept crying, but soon turned around and noticed that Lide was making a face at her, and immediately smiled through tears, stretched out his hand to Lide, and said with joy:
"Papa~hug~"
Lid reached Chocolate's armpits with both hands, hugged her, and coaxed her in a low voice:
"Okay, okay, when Dad is away, you have to listen to Mom, you know?"
Chocolate nodded obediently.
The three of them gathered together to form a happy scene.
Only Alaiya still stood there quietly with the long sword out of its sheath. The wind blew away her pale golden hair, and the fine snowflakes melted on her face. At that moment, Alaiya suddenly remembered the song that the young master would sing in the yard every winter:
snowflakes~
The north wind blows~
Heaven and earth~ a piece of~ boundless—
At that moment, Alaiya suddenly opened her eyes wide, and both Feng Zhongqingyun and Galberd seemed to be beckoning to her.
She stared at the phantoms of the seniors who would surely leave a rich and colorful history in the history of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, and suddenly realized that maybe sword practitioners don't need to have other emotions at all. Alaiya took a step forward, red and white sword aura surged around her body, the wind and snow all over the sky stagnated abruptly in mid-air, and a ray of sunlight broke through heavy dark clouds and fell on the world.
The Spring Festival is over and spring is here.
The sword energy spread, and the heavy snow outside the hotel seemed to fly upside down into the sky, although in the end it was only lifted outwards, which relieved the burden of the dark soil below. There are already many plants that are slowly breaking through the ground. The tenacious life is not afraid of the severe cold, and it is slowly sprouting in the sun.
This world is full of vitality and green.
