"Okay, next one!"
Luo Qixi's lazy voice came through.
Luo Ya couldn't help but smile, recalling the impression Luo Qixi had given him when they first met.
A sullen-eyed little girl.
It seems that she is still the same person.
There were a few other people standing next to Luo Qixi, but they were all familiar faces.
It was familiar, but I no longer knew its name.
Intending to surprise the girl, Luo Ya quietly circled around behind Luo Qixi and reached out to hug her waist.
Suddenly embraced, Luo Qixi jolted awake. Her previously lazy expression turned serious, and her right hand unconsciously gripped her staff, preparing to unleash a fireball spell on the person behind her.
The surrounding guards shuddered and hurriedly drew their longswords.
Being able to sneak up behind someone silently at this distance without being detected would be extremely troublesome if the other party were an enemy.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
However, when they saw Roya's face, the expressions of the three knights beside them became somewhat strange.
"Lord Roya, playing pranks is not a good habit."
"Seconded."
The two knights sighed and sheathed their swords.
Luo Qixi, who was just about to teach the guy behind her a lesson, was also slightly taken aback. Then, the serious expression on her face vanished, and she broke free from Luo Ya's hand with surprise, turning around to look at the person behind her.
Behind him was that face he knew all too well, an unbelievably handsome young man, smiling at him.
After the initial surprise and delight, Luo Qixi asked again, somewhat annoyed, "How come it's so fast? It's only been a little over a month. Have you finished dealing with your business?"
"It's all taken care of, but this time I'm preparing to return to the Kingdom of Asura. I just wanted to say hello to you."
Roya said this.
Luo Qixi's expression became forced, and her smile became somewhat stiff.
However, Roya changed the subject, saying, "Well, I can spend a day with you."
Luo Qixi's face finally broke into a smile.
A day is not much; in Luo Qixi's life, it's not even short.
But everything is relative.
Clearly, even a day is precious to Luo Qixi.
Seeing the two of them being all lovey-dovey, the knight at the front of the group next to Loki gave her a wink, coughed lightly, and said to them, "Anyway, we're here. If you have anything to do, you can ask for a day off. Come to think of it, Lady Loki hasn't asked for a day off before. I'm sure even if the captain finds out, she won't say anything."
Luo Qixi hesitated; her conscience prevented her from engaging in such a scheme as taking paid leave.
The knight patted his good brother beside him, a meaningful expression on his face as he teased, "Go on, go on, don't keep your boyfriend waiting too long. If we have to spend our only day with you, then we'll all feel bad, right? Or does Lady Loki want to spend the day at the training ground with her boyfriend?"
The knight's teasing made Luo Qixi blush. She coughed awkwardly a few times, still feeling a little embarrassed by being stared at by so many eyes.
However, she eventually agreed.
Logically speaking, a month shouldn't be considered a long time for Luo Qixi. The days that used to pass in the blink of an eye have become incredibly long since she met Luo Ya again.
Whenever Luo Qixi returned to her room, she would always think of Luo Ya's face, and memories of the past would flow through her mind like a stream.
I recall our first meeting, the first time I was taught magic, and the first time I held those soft little hands.
Who could have imagined that the guy who looked more like a girl than a girl would grow up to be so handsome?
Even back then, she couldn't have imagined that one day she would be able to marry Luo Ya.
That's how time is; the less you pay attention to it, the more easily it slips away.
But when you really care about something, it can become an extremely long process.
However, being able to see Roya's face again made Luo Qixi feel that none of this mattered.
After obtaining a leave slip, Luo Ya took Luo Qixi for a stroll.
The two walked through the streets and alleys of the Kingdom of Xilong like a normal couple.
Besides its intricate labyrinths, the Kingdom of Silon also boasts other beautiful scenery.
For example, the lake over there, or the mountains beside the lake; standing on them and looking up, you can see the lake merging with the sky.
The shimmering lake surface will intertwine with white clouds, though the clouds may resemble the sunset and not necessarily be entirely white.
This place is always most beautiful at sunset or sunrise.
The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color.
Although there are no lone wild geese here, this imagery still lingers.
The two sat on the mountaintop, gazing down at the lake below.
The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the entire forest.
Luo Qixi looked at the distant sunrise, her eyes unusually bright.
Neither of them spoke, as if whoever spoke first would ruin everything.
After staring in silence for a while, Luo Qixi said with a sigh, "You know what? Luo Ya, I once fantasized that I would encounter danger in a maze, and at that moment a prince on a white horse would appear. He would ride a handsome white horse, use a magnificent longsword to cut down all the dangers in front of him, and then walk straight up to me and say, 'Are you alright, madam?'"
Roya didn't speak. The story wasn't finished. Interrupting someone's speech is extremely impolite. Roya waited for what was to come.
Chapter 236 Return to the Kingdom of Asura (4k)
With a nostalgic look, Luo Qixi recounted her childhood fantasies.
"I yearn for adventure, hoping to meet 'the one,' and then develop feelings for each other through adventures, until finally, we embrace and say 'I love you.'"
Luo Qixi paused, her gaze fixed on the young man before her, and smiled, "When I saw you, I thought, maybe you might be my Prince Charming."
Upon hearing this, even the most thick-skinned person like Luo Ya couldn't help but feel hot.
Looking into those clear eyes, Luo Ya felt a little guilty.
Luo Qixi said to herself, "There may be a lot of trouble in the future, and there may be arguments, but there will be more sweet happiness. Those hardships will only be decorations sprinkled on the pastry, just as food cannot be without seasonings. It will all be worth it."
"Our feelings will grow stronger, and our days will become longer. Everything will keep changing. We will have a lovely daughter or a naughty son. This is the fruit of our love."
"What I hope for is that at the last moment of my life, there will be two figures leaning on each other in a small courtyard, sitting quietly in the courtyard, enjoying the beauty of the years, picking up fragments of memories. Everything will be just like in the beginning, with the sunlight being tranquil and the trees rustling. The only change is that the youthful figure in the crowd has somehow come through the throng to my side, accompanied me through hardships, through wedding dresses, through shared pillows, and through a lifetime."
Luo Ya was truly moved this time. Luo Qixi's innocent and flawless face was right in front of him. He never expected that Luo Qixi could say such words.
And this is the girl's truest thought, and the thing she has always dreamed of.
Things are beautiful, but reality is always cruel. When Luo Ya thinks about the beautiful women surrounding him, he feels a little sorry for Luo Qixi.
Luo Qixi withdrew her gaze from Luo Ya. At this moment, a faint blush appeared on Luo Qixi's face. The blush on her cheeks was like a rosy dawn, making Luo Qixi look exceptionally alluring.
Looking at the girl, Luo Ya's Adam's apple bobbed. He reached out and grabbed Luo Qixi's hand, saying sincerely, "I will definitely make you happy."
This is also what Roya really thinks.
Although he was, in a sense, juggling multiple relationships, Luo Ya's desire to make the girls happy was also his wish.
Reaching out to stroke Luo Qixi's hair, the smooth, azure strands flowed through Luo Ya's fingers. Luo Qixi's hair was very long, and getting close, he could smell the scent emanating from her. It wasn't all fragrance; there was a faint smell of sweat. But in a way, this was a novel experience.
Reaching out, he lifted the girl's chin, and a blush quickly spread across her cheeks. Roya gently kissed her.
Upon tasting Luo Qixi's lips once more, Luo Ya felt a surge of desire, and his physical instincts began to stir again.
Young people are always full of youthful vigor, especially a young person like him.
But after glancing at the sky, Luo Ya decided to stop there.
Luo Qixi stared into those beautiful eyes, which were slightly dazed. At this moment, Luo Qixi was looking at Luo Ya with a shy expression. The girl's face was flushed, and her clothes were slightly disheveled.
Without a doubt, this was the work of the villain in front of us.
Feeling a little embarrassed by Luo Qixi's gaze, Luo Ya coughed and tried to change the subject, saying, "Well, what would Master Luo Qixi like to eat?"
"You still remember I'm your master?" Luo Qixi glared at Luo Ya in annoyance, but didn't continue to dwell on what had happened above.
After pondering for a moment, Luo Qixi excitedly pulled Luo Ya out of the mountain and ran downhill.
Having lived in this country for so long, Luo Qixi knew the surrounding area inside and out, if not by name.
For example, Luo Qixi knew exactly where the best restaurants were, where the most expensive food was, where the cheapest food was, and even where prostitution was common.
After a day of leisurely strolling, night had already fallen.
Nighttime is always exciting, often the most active time for mercenaries. Noble lords also light banquet lanterns, their dazzling flames illuminating the entire city. The dim yet bright lights bloom in every inch of the streets and alleys.
Of course, Loki didn't want Roya to have much contact with the world at night. After dinner, she hurriedly pulled Roya back to the palace.
Perhaps in Luo Qixi's mind, Luo Ya is still that innocent and kind-hearted boy from her childhood.
As an adventurer, Loki knew all too well how open this world was. Here, almost anyone could buy a romantic encounter for a night if they wanted to, and with just a few silver coins.
Although Luo Qixi still had confidence in Luo Ya, she couldn't resist those pretentious guys who came up to her directly.
To prevent Luo Ya from being tempted by other women, Luo Qixi dragged Luo Ya away and sternly warned him not to be with those casual women outside, and to firmly refuse any girls he encountered.
