【At the same time, you also want to touch Otto's head again. 】
[Ever since you realized that Otto had grown into a big boy, you have been restraining yourself and rarely touch his head.]
[But if I don’t touch it now, it seems like I will never have the chance to touch it again. ]
"...I won't get married unless..." Karen blushed and broke away from Lu Mian's arms, stammering.
Her voice was soft, but not inaudible.
But Lu Mian didn't hear it clearly and even raised his voice in doubt.
Kallen sighed imperceptibly, then became serious again, "Nothing, I say we should go find Otto."
"Oh." Lu Mian responded, turned around and left.
Karin looked back and took a deep look at this basement that she wanted to forget, engraved it deeply in her mind, and then left without looking back.
-----------------
Otto lay in front of the desk looking at the pot of green lilies for an unknown period of time when he suddenly heard familiar footsteps behind him.
"Karen should know what Tianming has done." He said without turning his head.
Lu Mian confirmed Otto's guess, then walked behind him and gently smoothed his incredibly smooth golden hair.
Feeling the tenderness and warmth coming from his hair, Otto stood up and faced Lu Mian, "So, she plans to take the 'black box' away, and you will go with her?"
"Yeah," Lu Mian replied, but his hands didn't stop moving, as if he was afraid that his palms would no longer be able to hold anything, "Want to join us?"
Chapter 5 Win! Everyone can win! (5/)
Faced with Lu Mian's invitation to flee Europe, Otto hesitated.
If Lu Mian was the only one traveling with him, he would probably agree.
But Lu Mian already has Kallen by his side, so wouldn’t it be redundant for him to follow her?
Otto had to think so.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" He finally did not answer, but said this instead.
Lu Mian did not feel any special emotion about this and continued to gently stroke Otto's head.
After a while, he reluctantly let go of her hand and said, "I really need your help with something."
What on earth is going on? I can do anything!
Otto stared at Lu Mian solemnly, his eyes firm and full of conviction.
"You have to eat well even if you are alone. I don't know if it's because you don't have enough nutrition, but you are too thin and unhealthy.
"Before I come back, try to turn yourself into a 'double-door refrigerator', okay?" After making this unexpectedly homely request, Lu Mian raised the corners of his mouth slightly and revealed a faint smile.
Otto looked at the extremely dazzling smile in front of him and took a deep breath, but he could no longer find his previous firmness and sense of conviction.
They all rubbed together and turned into a smile on his face, "I can live well on my own, but forget about turning me into a muscular man."
I'm not actually thin, it's just that the flesh grows in the right places.
Just because you haven't seen them yourself doesn't mean they don't exist...
As he thought of this, a blush quietly spread from Otto's fair neck to his cheeks.
Seeing this, Lu Mian just thought that he was physiologically unable to accept the size of a "double-door refrigerator".
He didn't think much about it.
"If there is something you can't handle, just hold it tightly in your hands. Even if we are thousands of miles apart, I can sense it and come back to you." As he said this, Lu Mian pinched golden light into a lily out of thin air and showed it to Otto.
He originally wanted to hand the lily to Otto after he saw the lily clearly, but when he saw Otto in his platinum bishop's robe, he had a new idea.
The next second, he placed the lily in his hand as a plaque on Otto's left chest, looked him up and down, and nodded with satisfaction.
At this point, Lu Mian, who had given all the instructions, patted Otto's not-so-broad shoulder lightly, then turned and left.
"......" Otto looked at Lu Mian's departing back until that back completely disappeared from his sight before he looked away.
He looked down at the golden lily adorning his platinum bishop's robe and felt his heart warm.
No, I’m not going anywhere.
Even if you are alone at home, you should eat well and live well~
[People admire Bishop Immaculate, but no one knows why he always wears the same platinum bishop's robe no matter what occasion he attends, and no one knows what the lily on the chest of the platinum bishop's robe represents.]
[Many brave and enthusiastic Valkyries have mustered up the courage to ask Bishop Wuxia about the meaning of the platinum bishop's robe and the golden lily.]
[In the end, it will only be exchanged for an extremely loving smile. ]
【...】
[In 1476, you and Kallen took the purple box containing "Erosion" away from Tianming and decided to seal it.]
[Karen mentioned that the Red Kite Immortal of Shenzhou is very powerful and has longevity, and he will definitely be able to take good care of this power that should not be controlled by humans.]
[So the two of you have a clear goal: to reach Shenzhou. ]
[In the same year, you took Kallen all the way east, traveled around and casually dealt with the pursuers sent by destiny.]
【You take Kallen on a trip, Sharkman. 】
【travel.】
【Sharkman.】
[This cycle continued for a full year.]
[It was not until the following year that you arrived in Shenzhou and found Taixu Mountain, the residence of the immortals.]
[However, the current condition of Taixu Mountain is not very good...]
Shenzhou, Taixu Mountain.
The fairy mountain "Taixu" that people have passed down from generation to generation is still shrouded in clouds and mist, ethereal and out of reach.
But the fairy spirit is gone.
You want to ask why?
The Cangshan Mountain has been dyed in ink, and it is about to be transformed from a famous tourist attraction in China into the territory of Africa.
Fairy air? Dead air!
The peaks do not look green at all, but are covered with an old and worn "coat" made of dust and coke.
Even if you don't go and see it, you can still guess what happened here.
It was nothing more than a huge fire that destroyed all life beyond all recognition, leaving only a lifeless scorched earth.
Kallen stared blankly at everything in front of her, her red lips slightly parted, but she really didn't know what to say, and only uttered a few broken breaths.
The fairy mountain is famous but the fairy spirit is gone, let alone looking for any immortals.
No, maybe, maybe, I can collect some "immortals" by digging around in the dust covering the ground?
Faced with this sad and cruel fact, the girl lowered her eyes and looked at the purple box wrapped in golden chains in her hands.
What should we do next?
Thinking of this, Kallen subconsciously raised her head and looked at the man beside her - he was still laughing softly, as if nothing in the world was worth his emotion.
Somehow, when Karin saw this smile, she just felt so relieved.
Just like the day her father miraculously came back to life many years ago.
Lu Mian was indeed smiling, but the smile he showed at this moment might have been a "little bit" different from Kallen's interpretation.
They were all elders, and when Lu Mian thought about how the Chiyuan Immortal had taught seven good disciples and finally let them team up to send her away happily, he couldn't hold back.
It's not that I'm gloating, it's just this kind of comparison that is really interesting.
You see, Otto and Kallen would never do such a thing.
Even if the two of them really want to do this kind of thing one day, they probably won't have the chance.
win!
Everyone can win!
The more Lu Mian thought about it, the happier he became. He didn't know if it was because of excessive happiness or a curse from the immortals, but he was choked by the dust in the air, "Cough, cough, cough, cough..."
Seeing this scene, Karin's eyes flickered and she was stunned for a moment, then she hurriedly patted Lu Mian's back to help him calm down.
After a while, Lu Mian finally recovered. He wiped away the tears from his eyes, cleared his throat a little awkwardly, and said:
"The environment in Taixu Mountain is really not very good right now."
After saying this, there was no response.
Lu Mian glanced at Karin and was surprised to see that she was just staring at him blankly without saying anything.
"Kallen? Kallen? What are you thinking about?" He waved his hand gently in front of the girl's eyes.
"...Ah," Kallen came back to her senses, but only smiled very reluctantly, "I was thinking about the purple box."
[You did not doubt Karen's words. In your eyes, she was still that silly girl without any ulterior motives.]
[Tell her not to worry. Even if there is no immortal here, you can still seal the purple box here.]
【After all, you can do anything. 】
【When climbing a mountain, you walk in front. 】
[You didn't notice the expression on Karen's face behind you, or the wrinkled corner of her clothes that she accidentally kneaded.]
Chapter 24: Sudden Realization
Facing the midday sun, Lu Mian led Kallen to the top of Taixu Mountain.
He panted heavily and glanced at the collapsed houses in front of him, then raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
At this moment, Karin casually dropped the purple box and moved lightly to his side.
But she held the handkerchief in her bare hands and carefully and cautiously wiped away all the sweat for him.
It really feels like repairing a priceless antique.
Lu Mian sniffed the unique fragrance of his own daughter lingering around his nose and was distracted for a moment.
He looked at Karen's serious expression and smiled brightly, "Grown up, grown up. Our Karen can take care of others now."
Facing Lu Mian's teasing compliment, Karin surprisingly did not show much emotion. She just said "hmm" softly and then put away the handkerchief.
[It was such a long time, so long that Otto and Kallen have grown up to the point where they seem to be able to take on some responsibilities.]
[It’s such a short time, so short that you haven’t even had a good look at their growth. ]
【You are very pleased. 】
【You are very reluctant. 】
【Therefore, you are more determined! 】
[Use these hands that will no longer be able to hold anything, to open a bright path for Otto and Kallen. ]
[Use these shoulders that will no longer be able to bear anything to support an ideal sky for Otto and Kallen. 】
This is what you have to do.
This is what you can do.
[You have already realized it. ]
“How about we just bury the purple box here, bury it deeper, and no one will find it without sealing it, okay?” Karin gently pinched the corner of Lu Mian’s sleeve and pleaded.
Hearing this, Lu Mian blinked, and immediately raised his unrestricted hand to capture a ray of golden light, which enveloped the purple box on the ground.
"We've come all the way here, wouldn't it be a shame if we changed our minds? Besides, this purple box is not an ordinary thing, so it still needs to be handled properly." He explained to Karin only after the purple box completely turned into a golden box.
After that, he added:
