In the wildly blooming rose garden, a teenager is lazily lying on the marble sculpture in the middle of the garden. His long golden hair is so pure that even the sun pales in color, his green eyes are half-closed, and he looks drowsy. charm.

Blues stretched, and slowly closed the book.It was a thick book with a black cover. On the cover, the word "Bible" was looming, as if to indicate a truth hidden in the world.

The man stood on the balcony on the second floor, looking at the young man lying lazily in the garden, with a gentle smile on his lips.There is a girl standing behind him. The girl has light golden curly hair, and the blue eyes are full of innocence, like some kind of beautiful wild chrysanthemum; the pink skirt just reaches the knee, revealing the thin and small legs that seem to be malnourished .

The girl smiled slightly, and hugged Xiu's waist from behind. The waist looked slender and easy to break, but it carried incredible strength. She said softly: "I saw the garden when I came here. That person betrayed you, right?" , why is he still planting his favorite rose?"

"Salome, get off the main hall." Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, his golden eyes carried an unstoppable aura, as sharp as a sharp sword drawn out of its sheath, his voice was very gentle, and he even had With a touch of pity, he said: "Also, you talk too much."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Seemingly deterred by this aura, and it seemed that she simply didn't want to provoke this man, the girl let go of her hand, and stepped back two steps wisely, but continued to speak: "Hehe, I forgot about that man It's your taboo."

Xiu ignored the woman, turned his head to look at Lantiao in the garden, and there was some tenderness in his golden eyes.In the blink of an eye, there was no man on the terrace.

He was wearing a white robe with mysterious patterns on his wide sleeves, which fluttered in the wind; he stood quietly in the garden, descending from the sky, like a god descending from the earth; In response to his arrival.He glanced at the book on the side, and said softly: "If Xiao Tiaoer is really so leisurely, it's better to practice magic."

Blues looked up at him, pointed to the "Bible", and asked flatly, "Is that story true?"

"Yes." Blues didn't specify which story it was, and no one could understand what he said, except Xiu.Xiu's sleeves fluttered, and the thick book seemed to be torn apart by countless knives in an instant, leaving only tiny pieces of paper flying in the wind. He said, "That woman is called Salome."

"I mean, is the content of this story true? Just because of the mother's request, so she killed the man?" Blues frowned slightly.

"Maybe, you can check it out." Xiu Yi stretched out his hand and pulled Lantiao up from the stone, hugged him into his arms, looked at Lantiao with a half-smile, his bright golden eyes were full of jokes, he leaned into Lantiao's ear and whispered: " But this hall feels that you need to practice magic more now, what do you think, newborn chick?"

"How do you know?" In that secret room, Hong called Lan Tuo a newborn chick, but Lan Tuo didn't think it was just Xiu and Hong's tacit understanding at all.

"You might as well guess." Xiu Xie smiled charmingly, and continued, "But before that, it's more practical to go to the study to read some books. What do you think of Xiao Tiaoer?"

"Actually, you don't need to ask my opinion at all, my lord father." Lan Tuo flattened his mouth, and followed Xiu with some grievances.
