The reincarnated devil was blessed by the goddess

"Then I really want to thank you very much!"

Xiao Tao said this coquettishly, and gently put down Strelitzia's hand that was pinching her cheek.

"Sunflower, do you think it's a wise decision for us to attack the border area?"

"What... degree..." Theresa said after thinking for a moment.

It is almost an impossible task to completely develop that area, otherwise Strelitzia would have succeeded that time long ago.

After all, she had said before that if there were no traces of Burning Man in a certain area, the land there would naturally recover over time.

Perhaps it would be wise to put some pressure and attack on those crazy people.

The premise is that you should not get too involved in it, and it is more appropriate to adopt a relatively conservative strategy.

Maybe this way, I can live a stable life for a few more years.

"How far? If this is truly a large-scale guild, then they should at least advance halfway to the border."

Strelitzia completely ignored Xiaotao's inner feelings and continued to shake her petite body, while chattering to Theresa about her thoughts and opinions.

"You don't seem to be avoiding it. I guess you think the answer you're looking for is out there, right?"

"And Ergou!"

"Yeah, of course."

Strelitzia nodded in understanding, then agreed with a smile, "However...whether this commission will be accepted or not depends on our boss's decision."

"It's very dangerous." Xiao Tao frowned and said softly in silence, "You will die."

For the predecessor of Dakong Office, Dakong Guild, it was a painful past that was hard to look back on.

Not everyone can be as strong as Xiaohe, possessing the strength and courage to survive in desperate situations.

On the scarlet soil of the border, countless people who cherished the dream of freedom fell on the road ahead.

"Little blind man, when did you become so hesitant? If they were afraid, why would they bring it up? The consequences of being calm are obvious. I think they're already prepared for it. Right, little stutterer?"

Strelitzia curled the corners of her mouth and winked playfully at Theresa.

"Maybe..."

Theresa frowned slightly, with a hint of hesitation in her tone. Even she herself was not sure whether attacking the border area was a wise choice.

But given the current situation, it seems this is the only way out.

After experiencing such an incident, people lived in fear every day, always on guard against the sudden attack of the Burning Man.

Rather than living in such agony, it is better to fight vigorously. Even if you die on the battlefield in the end, it is like turning into a burning man.

For adventurers who dream of freedom, this may be the most suitable destination for their souls.

They never want to be bound by anyone. The anger and unwillingness accumulated in their hearts have long been like a surging tide, longing for an outlet to vent it completely.

Because they really want that piece of free sky, they let Strelitzia lead them.

This is the only chance, and everyone in the guild wants to win.

"Then just go! Why are you asking me why?"

With a "bang", Xiaotao threw the chopsticks in her hand heavily onto the table, then turned around and ran away angrily, her back full of resentment and grievance.

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly froze, and on the empty table, only Theresa and Strelitzia were left looking at each other.

"I'll go and comfort you."

Theresa came to her senses and quickly jumped off the chair, her tone filled with a hint of urgency.

"Sunflower, we are serious this time. We must take action at the border."

Just as Theresa was about to go upstairs, Strelitzia suddenly called her.

"When the sky is covered by layers of dark clouds, most people choose to hide indoors, fearing a downpour outside at any moment. But if no one takes that first step, how can we know whether behind these seemingly dark clouds, there is a clearing sun brewing?"

"We need it even if it's sunny for a while."

A temporary sunny day?

Of course, Theresa understood what Strelitzia meant.

If we choose to reject them at this critical moment, perhaps no one will have the courage to stand up again after so many years.

Strelitzia reginae sets its sights far into the future.

"Xiao Tao?"

Theresa stood in front of Xiaotao's door, raised her hand and knocked gently, her voice gentle and with a hint of concern.

Not hearing a response, she frowned slightly, pushed the door open and walked in.

The quilt on the bed was bulging high, and it was obvious that Xiaotao was hiding inside the quilt.

Alas, only at this time does he act like a child.

Black Hand, go tease her.

The black hand first slowly stretched out from behind Theresa, quietly approached the bed, and drilled into the quilt.

Xiaotao, who was hiding in the quilt, seemed to notice something strange. Her body trembled slightly and she wrapped the quilt tighter.

But the black hand did not stop and continued to grope in the quilt.

Then......

"Ah~ Is this how you usually teach it?"

Xiao Tao screamed in shock. She suddenly threw off the quilt, quickly reached into her clothes, and pulled the black hand out with force. Tears of grievance still hung in the corners of her eyes.

"I don't know."

Theresa spread her hands with an innocent look on her face, shrugged her shoulders, and slowly walked to Xiaotao's bed and sat down.

Suddenly, a ray of light as bright and dazzling as the sun appeared in her palm, and the light gradually gathered into the shape of a lifelike sunflower.

"Look! Sunflowers~"

"Are you stupid? I can't see."

Just as Xiaotao finished speaking, the black hand first approached the sunflower and slowly wrapped it along the light.

"now what?"

To be honest, this scene is a bit weird.

Forget it, as long as Xiaotao can see it.

"What is this? A red spider lily? Take it away."

Theresa did not take her hands away as Xiaotao said. Instead, she swung her hands and hugged Xiaotao directly.

"Don't be angry~"

There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, trying to soothe Xiaotao's emotions.

At first, Xiaotao kept pushing Theresa with her hands, but after hearing Theresa's gentle words, her resisting hands gradually stopped and her movements gradually calmed down.

She lowered her head slightly, her voice choking with sobs. "How can I not be angry? Why can you say these things so lightly? You might not be able to come back."

In the past few days, everyone has been living a stable and peaceful life. There have been some accidents occasionally, but no one has been hurt.

But Ergou's sudden departure was like a bolt from the blue, breaking this peace.

When a person has lived in peace and stability for too long, the first time they face such a blow is often the most severe. The pain is deeply engraved in her heart and is difficult to erase.

"For tomorrow." Theresa rubbed Xiaotao gently.

"We strive... expect... hope... hope..."
