The reincarnated devil was blessed by the goddess
Chapter 372 Return
The morning mist floated over the manor like a veil, and the golden sunlight shone through the mist, casting a hazy halo on the entire sea of sunflowers.
As the breeze blows, the layers of flower discs sway gently, creating a golden wave that is glistening with dew.
Xiang Mingri stroked a sunflower covered with morning dew with his fingers, and his suede gloves were immediately covered with crystal water droplets.
He frowned slightly, pushed aside the flower stems in front of him, and his dark brown leather boots made a slight sound as they stepped on the soft soil.
"Do you feel..." His voice was low and gentle, as if he was talking to himself but also as if he was asking, "There are more and more flowers in our manor."
The head maid, Rebecca, always followed him at a suitable distance.
Today, she didn't wear her signature serious bun. Her chestnut curls fell softly on her shoulders, shining warmly in the morning light.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing an almost imperceptible smile.
"That's because you refused to take the gravel path nearby and insisted on going through the flower field."
Xiang Mingri looked down at the water stains on his trousers and smiled indifferently.
"It's really hard to move around... the flowers are so densely packed together."
He continued walking forward, the tall stems of sunflowers brushing against his shoulders from time to time, and some of the blooming flowers almost touched his cheeks.
Rebecca sighed softly and took out a pair of gardening shears from her small basket. "Do you want me to trim the overgrown branches?"
"No need, just leave it at that."
The morning breeze brought the unique fragrance of sunflowers, mixed with the fragrance of soil.
Rebecca looked at her master's absent-minded profile and suddenly whispered, "Didn't you plant all these flowers yourself? Ever since the young lady left, you've been planting a sunflower in the garden every day."
Her eyes swept across the brilliant sea of flowers before her, and her voice softened unconsciously.
"Haha...yeah, look at my brain. Obviously, I planted all these sunflowers."
Xiang Mingri stood quietly among the flowers.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the petals, casting mottled shadows on his handsome face.
A drop of dew slid down the petals and seeped silently into the soil.
"But it's different now. After all, my sister is back."
Xiang Mingri suddenly smiled with relief. He wondered if his letter had been read carefully, and whether he would think he was annoying.
"By the way...why is it so noisy outside today? Is there some kind of event going on?"
Xiang Mingri looked at the distant sun with some doubt.
......
"Ahh... I'm so tired... Auntie, when will we get to your house? My waist is almost broken..."
The scarred man and the fat man hunched their backs, and every step they took was extremely heavy. Their coarse cloth clothes had already been soaked with sweat and stuck to their strong backs.
The wooden boxes they were carrying made a creaking sound with their steps, which was particularly harsh on the street, and passers-by would keep a distance from them.
Theresa sat on top of the cargo with her legs crossed, playing with a strand of white hair with her slender fingers.
The morning breeze blew her windbreaker, creating a stark contrast to the two sweaty laborers underneath.
"It's almost there." She looked around casually.
"What?! I can't do it anymore, let's take a break..."
The scarred man's voice was filled with tears and his legs were shaking as if they were filled with lead.
Theresa hopped off the cargo box with ease, making a crisp sound on the cobblestone road.
"You can't lie down on the street, right? There's the central square in front of you. You can move the goods there and then lie down however you like."
The scarred man and the fat man looked at each other, then looked at the brothers behind them.
"Fuck it, no more lying down! Making money isn't shabby, get moving!"
They gritted their teeth and lifted the heavy cargo box again.
"If we had known that Rihe City had no water access...we should have found a place to sell some goods before coming here."
Theresa chuckled at the words and sat back lightly on top of the cargo box.
"Don't complain~" she wiggled on her toes. "When we get there, I'll treat you to the finest tea~"
The girl sitting on the cargo box was humming a little tune leisurely, with a group of people following behind her, as if this long transportation had nothing to do with her.
They walked through street after street, trudging forward in the direction Theresa pointed, leaving a trail of wet sweat behind them.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
Several guards in standard leather armor blocked their way.
The leading guard held the sword at his waist and scanned the men with sharp eyes.
Of course, a group of people suddenly appearing on the street will inevitably attract attention.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Seeing this, the scarred man coughed heavily and kept glancing towards Theresa.
"Alright alright."
Theresa sighed and jumped off the cargo box again.
She took off her beret and saluted.
"These are businessmen who do business with my brother. They are not suspicious people."
The captain of the guards looked at the elegant girl suspiciously.
Given Sunflower's fame in Hiyori City, it was true that everyone knew the mine owner's sister.
But... Theresa forgot one thing.
Sunflower's greatest feature is not her beautiful eyes or appearance.
But...
"Your brother?" The guard captain narrowed his eyes. "Who is your brother?"
Theresa blinked and said in surprise, "Of course it's the mine owner, Mr. Xiang Mingri."
The air suddenly froze.
The guards' expressions became strange and they exchanged glances with each other.
The guard captain stepped forward and said, "The mine owner does have a sister...but..."
He looked up and down at Theresa's flexible figure and lively expression. "That lady can neither speak nor express herself."
Theresa's smile froze on her face in an instant.
"Oops!"
I am no longer the mute and expressionless person.
No matter how much you look like a sunflower, you can never prove that you are the real sunflower.
Just when Theresa was at a loss, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
"You're back."
Theresa raised her head suddenly and saw Xiang Mingri appeared in front of her at some point.
He just stood there quietly, looking at Theresa with tenderness on his face.
Theresa had no idea what expression she should show at this moment.
She only felt a feeling of grievance surging into her heart like a tide, but it was forcibly suppressed.
It felt like a small stone thrown into a pond. Although it caused ripples, it disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Yeah... I'm back, bro."
