I really only stop

Nodding slightly, Miss Saintess looked at the emperor's slightly tired eyes with some concern:

"Please also pay attention to rest. For everyone in the empire, your health is the most important thing."

"..."

After a long silence, the usually unsmiling emperor suddenly laughed heartily twice. While laughing, he stretched out his broad right hand and ruthlessly messed up Miss Imperial Lady's silky long hair:

"Haha, silly girl, I was much more tired when I was an adventurer than I am now, so put your heart back in your stomach—Little Meifei, let's go!"

"Wait, wait! Father! Take me too!"

Seeing that Mephis opened the long-distance teleportation array on the spot, the undercover girl Claire also hurried in:

"It suddenly occurred to me that the devil's crown might also be useful. After all, it is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the family. In addition to the positioning function, there may be other unknown powers hidden in it!"

"Claire, please don't call that [Devil King's Crown] a family treasure, father, I will be very hurt!"

He protested to his daughter in a low voice, seeing that everyone had finished saying goodbye, the chief of the imperial capital reached out and activated the teleportation array.The next moment, their figures disappeared in the magical light.

"That, that, Lu Xi, it's time for me to go back to the bottom of the sea."

Seemingly understanding the reason for Claire's hasty departure and the atmosphere of the scene, the silly fish girl also stammered:

"The reason why I came to land this time is not so serious, not to mention that as the princess of the sea clan, I may also play a role in mobilizing the seabed...so don't bother me! Everyone must be happy !!!”

"~"

Leaving such an unclear farewell, the silly fish girl disappeared into the light of the deep sea chant as if fleeing.

One or two, what happened all of a sudden?

Scratching his head for some unknown reason, when Lu Xi looked around the scene, he was surprised to find that at some point, there were only three people beside him, Nana.

...Ah, so that's what they meant.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Xi stretched out his hand to the three girls who hadn't figured out why everyone left suddenly:

"Since the emperor asked us to take a good rest...or go home?"

Come back home?

It feels like I haven't heard this word from Lu Xi for a long time. After looking at each other, the girls' eyes lit up at the same time:

"Hmm!!!" X3

Chapter 878 The long-lost quiet time

The soft morning light cast a blurred light through the curtains, Lu Xi opened his eyes, but didn't get up from the bed immediately.

In front of him was the familiar ceiling, and what was lying under him was undoubtedly his big soft bed, everything was safe and sound, without any abnormality.

... The long-lost peaceful morning.

Expressing such emotion from the bottom of his heart, Lu Xi changed his posture and opened the curtains with a weak whirlwind.

As usual, the peaceful street scene makes it hard to imagine that there will be a war on a scale that will sweep the entire world.

Unlike the planned and purposeful aggression of the Demon Army, the horror of Calamity lies in the fact that she only wants to destroy any intellectual life equally.There is no room for compromise, and we have no choice but to fight.

Communication with major forces, information exchange and sharing, and the production of the most critical plague... In the past few days, I have almost done what I can.

Apart from [that], it takes time to prepare. Since there is nothing to do, just like the emperor said, let's enjoy a peaceful daily life——

Such endless thinking didn't last long, and the tip of Lu Xi's nose was slowly filled with a burst of warm fragrance.

Nana must be preparing breakfast.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth without him being aware of it, Lu Xi stood up and sat up on the bed, and began to put on his clothes.

----------

"Yo."

"Wow!"

The soft girl who was seriously comparing the sizes of pumpkins was taken aback by the sudden greeting behind her. When she saw Lu Xi's smiling expression, Nana patted her chest with lingering fear, and complained with some dissatisfaction:

"Don't scare me, my heart was about to jump out just now."

"No one else has the chance but me."

Glancing pointedly at the tool bag that had just been closed on the soft girl's waist, it was not difficult for Lu Xi to imagine the cruel end that would happen if someone else frightened the Lord of Strangeness:

"doing what?"

"It's the sweet pumpkin porridge that wasn't finished last time due to an accident."

Recalling the sudden kiss that Miss Saint Empress gave to Lucy, Nana subconsciously glanced at Lucy's lips, her cheeks flushed slightly:

"That time, because we were too worried about Yuxia's situation, everyone didn't have time to taste the sweet and golden-style breakfast. I want to make up for it this morning."

"learn."

Rolling up her sleeves familiarly, Lu Xi stood beside the soft girl as usual:

"let me help you."

"Ah."

Without the restraint and nervousness of helping out for the first time, Ruanmei and Lu Xi have formed a tacit understanding that does not need to be expressed in words during countless times of kitchen cooperation.

When she needs to cut vegetables, he will silently hand her the chopping board.And she was fully aware of his preference, so she deliberately added more sugar to make the pumpkin aroma more intense.

Even when he needed to taste it, he would take the initiative to lean over to the girl, and the latter would carefully blow the hot porridge just out of the pan, and then carefully send it to his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious."

Honestly expressed his thoughts, looking at the bright smile on the soft girl's face, Lu Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"Compared to the beginning, Nana's cooking skills have really improved a lot, and now she has left me far behind."

"at first?"

Blinking her eyes in confusion, Nana asked:

"When was the first time Lucy ate my cooking?"

"If you don't count you secretly cooking us breakfast under Cook's name, it should be at the end of the war to save money, when the two of us were in Sky City."

Recalling the scene at that time, Lu Xi smiled:

"At that time, you didn't even want to bother me with small things like trying to eat, but now it's much better. Not only has your craftsmanship improved a lot, but your personality is much more cheerful than before."

I?become cheerful?

Hearing this sentence, the movements of his hands couldn't help but reacted. Nana continued to make pumpkin pies, but her mind was slowly diverted from the cooking in front of her.

Indeed, after meeting Lu Xi and everyone, more and more people said that I "became cheerful".

Whether it's working hard to greet others, having the courage to speak out your thoughts in front of everyone, or even being able to face your true strength and completely accept the true identity of the dolls—unknowingly, I have made so many changes.

However, if we talk about the [biggest change]——

"...These are all thanks to Lu Xi."

"Eh?"

Gathering up the courage to look directly into the eyes of my sweetheart, the voice of the soft girl who has always been very shy in my impression is particularly clear:

"I was able to take so many steps forward, all because I watched Lucy's back. It is really difficult to make a change. When I encounter difficulties, I even feel that the world around me is dark. But, no matter how sad it is In such a situation, as long as I lift my head up a little, I can find the star that belongs to Lu Xi in front of my eyes. It is not far away at all, as if I can reach it with my hand. Encouraged by you, I am always hiding behind you. I started running voluntarily."

When she said these words, the girl's eyes were so serious and so clear.Her gaze never left the person in front of her for a moment, as if the stars in the sky were reflected in her eyes.

"—!"

Unexpectedly, Ruanmei would hit a series of straight balls at this moment, Lu Xi froze in place.

Is this, is this my soft girl who blushes even when she hears other people's love stories?

Logically speaking, this should be an excellent time to stop and calm down when it is turned on, but considering that the [one-month period] given by Lacey Levi also includes the time for time-stop, Lu Xi's habitual [Secret Technique: Time-stop to calm down and prevent shyness] The art] was sealed abruptly.

Is it such a blushing thing to receive a straight ball head-on when there is no need to stop? !

Perhaps it was the first time that Master Lu's cheeks became redder and redder under the gaze of a close girl, and finally even reached the point where he felt his cheeks were burning hot.

"Puchi~"

A chuckle broke the silence at the scene, and for some reason, the soft girl who became more confident looked at Lu Xi with a smile:

"Why is Lu Xi's face so low today? Could it be that the timidity I left behind went to your side?"

"No, no!"

Unable to use time stop to hide his inner wavering, Lu Xi's expression at this time is exactly the same as that of Tsundere Rika who appeared sporadically:

"It's not that the timing of your saying these words is too sudden, I don't have any reaction time..."

It turns out that he also has such a cute side~

Slightly understanding the reason why Yuxia occasionally turned on the princess mode to talk to Lu Xi, the soft girl smiled sweetly, and handed the pumpkin pie in her hand to Lu Xi:

"Don't be awkward, come and try the taste of this pumpkin pie~"

For the extremely rare teasing of the soft girl, Lu Xi's face turned even redder:

"I, I didn't make a fuss!!"

——Looking at the current scene alone, I thought the two of them had switched personalities too.

Chapter 879 Celica's Dream

“Delicious!”

Swallowing a pumpkin pie the size of a palm into her belly, Celica didn't even bother to wipe the corners of her mouth, so she excitedly gave Nana a thumbs up with her oily hands:

"What a culinary skill beyond cognition! In terms of this sweet taste alone, I would like to call Nana the God of Cooking!"

"Y-It's not that good..."

At this time, Nana has already exited the '3-minute strong mode', and after noticing the ambiguity between herself and Lu Xi just now, her face even became thinner than before:

"It's all thanks to Lu Xi's help. If I was the only one, I probably wouldn't be able to prepare such a rich breakfast in time."

"Oh~Weak Weak Xi~"

The raised thumbs retracted in an instant, and Celica glanced at Lu Xi quietly, and the emotion in her tone fell back to the level of "jumping face":

"Oh~ In fact, Ruoweixi's culinary skills are just like that. The real one is Nana—don't even think about it! My defense!"

"?"

Looking puzzled at Zorika's movement of covering her mouth vigorously immediately after jumping her face, Miss Saint asked:

"Selica, what's wrong with you?"

"(Covering mouth) Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!"

"...Who can understand Ulu Ulu like you."

Seeing that Miss Saintess and Nana really couldn't interpret the confusing behavior that confused Lika, Mr. Lu, the crown translator, sighed helplessly:

"Don't worry, [secret technique - the technique of a little sour plum suddenly appearing in your mouth] is temporarily sealed by me now, you are safe."

Currently, the one-month deadline set by Lacey Liwei is still there, even if it stops for a minute or a second, it may have an impact on the emperor's uncle's war preparations.If it wasn't necessary, Lu Xi had no intention of using time-stop on such boring things.

"Pfft!!"

Only then did she put her hand down with lingering fear, because the oxygen-deprived Zanlika took a big breath of fresh air because she was covered too tightly just now:

"If that's the case, let's say it earlier! I was really worried that there would be sour plums in my mouth just now. You know, I just ate sweet pumpkin pie. If I got caught in the cunning trick of Ruoweixi after that, my mouth would definitely drool. It will come patter!"

A vein appeared on Lu Xi's forehead:

"In that case, don't jump in the face."

"Then~ can't do~"

Deliberately elongating the tone, Celica leaned in front of Lu Xi and swayed from side to side:

"When you say 'good morning' every day, jumping in the face is the foundation. What's more, Ruoweixi can't use that difficult secret skill now, this is a good opportunity for me to avenge my usual revenge! Hehehe~ Without the sour plum technique, Ruoyouxi is just a C-rank adventurer that can be seen everywhere, you should tremble under the majesty of Lord Zarika, wow!!!!"

Relying on her strength advantage, she pressed Miss True Weak Magician onto the sofa with one hand, and Lu Xi looked at her like she was looking at a fool:

"Secret technique modification: Forcibly stuffing a sour plum into Sarika's mouth."
