Shengshuiyuan

After dinner, everyone sat in the courtyard.

Lantiere took a sip of tea and looked at the huge cherry tree in the courtyard with a happy smile on his face.

The beautiful petals of the cherry tree are floating down.Like pink snowflakes.

Everyone who was playing happily suddenly felt the huge cherry blossom tree shaking violently in the middle of the courtyard.

In the astonishment of everyone, there was a pink brilliance in the middle of the cherry blossom tree, a lovely girl in a pink skirt.Looking at the crowd with playful smiles

"Hehe, what a beautiful day today! There are so many interesting guests here!"

Looking at the playful girl in the pink dress that suddenly appeared, Lantiere, who was the first to slow down, greeted politely

"Looking at your clothes and appearing from this huge cherry blossom tree, you should be a cherry blossom demon, right?"

Turning his head and smiling sweetly, he looked at Lantiere Cherry Blossom Demon and said

"Hey, this kid is very interesting, and his whole body exudes the aura of energy that I like."

Saying that, the cherry blossom demon danced around the entire courtyard, everywhere the fragrance of cherry blossoms wafted.

Stopping the figure, the cherry blossom demon stayed on the eaves, looked around everyone with a satisfied face and said

"It's been a long time since I saw such interesting people as you. I usually don't bother to take a look at those guys."

As he said that, when he mentioned the guests who usually come, the cherry blossom demon curled his lips and rolled his eyes.

As if remembering something, the cherry blossom demon looked at everyone and said

"That's right, that's right, that's right! Have you ever drank cherry blossom wine? It's very delicious!"

Speaking of which, the cherry blossom demon spread her hands lightly, and suddenly a wine glass appeared in everyone's hands. The pink translucent liquid in the wine glass exuded a faint floral fragrance.

The cherry blossom demon swayed her legs, narrowed her eyes and said with a smile

"Try it, it tastes delicious!"

Everyone raised their glasses and tasted the cherry blossom wine in the glasses, and they were all infected by the fresh and sweet wine in the glasses.

Watching everyone drink up the sweet wine in the wine glasses, the cherry blossom demon looked at Lantiere with a faint smile and asked

"How is it, kid? How does it taste?"

Lantiere pursed his lips lightly, admiring the sweet cherry blossom wine with eyes full of admiration

"Very delicious and mellow wine, not strong wine, with a touch of floral and sweet taste, very good to drink."

Hearing the satisfied praise, the cherry blossom monster tilted her head slightly, and asked Li Muyan, who looked at the white-haired beast-eared Li Muyan next to Lantier with doubtful eyes.

"You look very young, don't you? You actually have the spiritual power of a thousand years, and there is an aura that I am familiar with?"

Then the Cherry Blossom Demon suddenly asked Li Muyan with serious eyes, as if she wanted to confirm.

"What's your relationship with the nine-tailed celestial fox Qingmei?"

Seeing the sweet cherry blossom demon who was smiling innocently, suddenly looked at him seriously, Li Muyan replied respectfully.

"Nine-tailed celestial fox Qingmei is my mother."

Suddenly hearing that her good sister whom she hadn't seen for a long time actually had a son, Sakura Yao lightly frowned and asked anxiously

"Where is Qingmei? Where did Qingmei go?"

When asked about his mother, Li Muyan frowned slightly, and suddenly said sadly:

"My mother... died to protect me more than ten years ago..."

Eyes full of shock to hear that her good sister had passed away, the cherry blossom demon bit her lip lightly, trying to hold back the tears that flowed out.Looked at Li Muyan and asked with hatred in his eyes

"Say! Who killed her!"

Following the sakura demon's anger, the entire courtyard shook violently.

Sighing lightly, Li Muyan told how his mother was known in Jinxiu Villa, forced out of her original form by the demon, framed by a vicious concubine, and how she was killed.I was framed by the treatment I had since I was a child, and I told the Sakura Demon all about it in a cold manner.

After listening to Li Muyan's memories, Sakura Demon couldn't contain her anger and clenched her hands tightly.Because of the sakura demon's anger, all the decorations and decorations in the surrounding room exploded instantly like an explosion.

Rococo and Lige, who were frightened by the sudden explosion, hid behind Lantiere and Li Muyan in fear.She looked at the still furious Sakura Demon with a look of fear.

Trembling slightly with an overly angry figure, the Sakura Demon exhaled softly, and said with a sad face

"I have advised her a long time ago, don't believe the sweet words of human beings. She just doesn't listen... We were obviously very happy in the forest before. If it wasn't for that cunning man, she would not have left. But then it became like that... .”

Pursing her lips lightly, she raised her head to look at Li Muyan, who was somewhat similar to Qingmei.The Cherry Blossom Demon lightly flew in front of Li Muyan, her eyes full of affection, she hugged her into her arms and said,

"Poor child, just hearing you talk about what happened to Qing Mei after she passed away, already makes people feel distressed. If Qing Mei is still alive, how heartbroken it would be. How did you survive these years?"

Caressing the cherry blossom demon who was hugging him, Li Muyan said with eyes full of relief.

"Don't worry, although I have been in hell for more than ten years. But now, I have these friends who are sincere and sincere to me, and I am very satisfied."

Nodding slightly, the Cherry Blossom Demon recovered her calm expression, caressed Li Muyan's cheek, and said with relief

"Good boy, Qingmei must be very pleased to have such an outstanding and resolute child like you."

Instead, the cherry blossom demon turned her head and looked at Ranthiel, who comforted Rococo softly.

"Little friend, this child will be entrusted to you in the future."

Rantier said solemnly

"Don't worry, Mu Yan and I will be the best confidantes forever."

The cherry blossom demon lightly waved her hand to restore the damaged building because of her anger.After that, I relieved my overly sad mood, and chatted and laughed with everyone.

In the dark night, Lu Nuo, who had been playing with everyone all day, turned his head happily and said to everyone

"Tomorrow night there will be fireworks in front of the hot spring hotel! Do you want to watch it?"

Hearing that there are beautiful fireworks to watch, Rococo, who was sleepy and drowsy, suddenly regained his energy, and held Lantiere's wrist with excitement and said

"Fireworks! I really want to go!"

Instead, Rococo looked at the crowd and said

"You want to go too, don't you!"

Natsu and Carter, who like to play the most, were the first to nod vigorously.

Lovingly stroking Rococo's hair top with a pampering face, Lantierre said with a light smile

"Okay, let's go together tomorrow night."

While speaking, Lantiere looked at the dark sky and said

"It's getting late, everyone go to bed first."

Yawning and stretching, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep with tired faces.

Just as Lantiere and Li Muyan were about to leave their room and go back to sleep, they were stopped by the cherry blossom demon.

The cherry blossom demon looked at Rantiyer with a serious face and said

"Little friend, you have to be careful in a year or two. Your fate is about to come."

Looking at the stern-faced Sakura Demon, Rantiyer and Li Muyan were all shocked and turned pale.

Rantier frowned lightly.

"Casualty?"

Cherry Blossom Demon nodded solemnly and said

"Yes, if you fail to survive this catastrophe, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

Pursing his lips lightly, Lantiere asked

"Can you tell me what my catastrophe is?"

Sakura sighed softly.

"I don't know what it is, but you'd better be more careful about the people around you."

Saying that, the cherry blossom demon disappeared into the cherry tree.

Lantiere looked thoughtful.

"The people around you..."

Li Muyan patted Rantiyer on the shoulder to comfort him

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

Rantiyer's eyes were full of relief, he narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly and thanked

"Thank you."

The next day was sunny, and several people finished their morning bath.On the wide grassland, Lantiere saw several people playing and playing, not only became happy, but also became happy.

Rococo, who was a little tired from playing around, suddenly stopped and looked at Daniel, the only one with the ability to control ice and snow among all the people, and said excitedly

"Brother Daniel, can you make some ice and snow, let's play together?"

Daniel narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"it is good."

The next moment, Daniel waved his hand, condensing the magic power of ice and snow.Amidst everyone's admiration, a winding crystal clear ice and snow slide and a swing made of huge chunks of ice appeared in front of everyone, hundreds of meters long.

Seeing such an interesting ice and snow scene, Rococo was as happy as a child. He was the first to run and jump towards the ice and snow slide. In the next moment, Rococo was left happily on the long and tortuous slide due to the inertia of sliding down the slide. Laughter.

Watching Rococo happily playing on the ice slide.Naz and Carter, who like to have fun, also came to the ice slide, lay down very excitedly, and slid down to play.On the long ice slide, Natsu and Carter's happy shouts can be heard from a distance

"Wow! It's so exciting!"

Lantiere watched the crowd quietly from the side, playing on the ice slide and ice swing one after another, not only smiling happily.

While Lantier was watching the crowd playing, he was suddenly hit on the cheek by a palm-sized snowball without warning.The next moment, he realized that it was the "naughty" behavior of Fran and Daniel.Lantiere squinted his eyes lightly, with a smirk on his face, watching the stepping on his feet, and Daniel created snow that was as thick as his knees. Lantierre bent down and made a snowball with both hands, and raised his eyebrows slightly. Join a few people in a snowball fight.

Seeing that everyone was having fun with snowball fights, and hadn’t slowed down from the long and winding ice slides and ice swings, they were also happily running and jumping over

"Wow! Snowball fights! I want to play too!"

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Babur made a huge snowball in the snow with a silly smile and held it up high.When everyone realized what Babur was going to do next, they had already been hit by a giant snowball dropped by Babur and buried in the thick snow.

Two hours later, everyone finally lay down on the grass exhausted and laughing.

Unknowingly, the night was approaching, and the few people who were tired from playing around.After dinner, before coming to the hot spring hotel, I waited for the beautiful fireworks that Lu Nuo mentioned was about to open yesterday.

Everyone sat on the stone benches in front of the hot spring hotel, eating delicious snacks unique to the hot spring hotel, and waiting with anticipation for the gorgeous fireworks.

In the next moment, in the astonishment of everyone, the fireworks, like beautifully shaped and plump flowers, shone with beautiful brilliance, illuminating the silent night.

When everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, a terrible conspiracy, like a poisonous snake lurking in the darkness, approached everyone silently.

Saying goodbye to the kind-hearted Lu Nuo mother and son, Lantiere and the others took off their bathrobes and put on their own clothes.He was in a happy mood and prepared to leave and return to Fordu City.

Before leaving, Lantiere was stopped by the proprietress of the hot spring hotel. The hotel proprietress was very enthusiastic and insisted that Lantierre bring back some delicious food from the hot spring hotel.

Lantiere signaled everyone to leave first. In front of the gate of the hot spring hotel, the proprietress held Lantiere's hand and said softly.

"Thank you very much for your help to Fore. Next time you come again, I will treat you with great hospitality."

Seeing such a hospitable proprietress, Rantiyer was a little embarrassed and said,

"In the past two days in the hot spring hotel, we have been taken care of by the proprietress in many ways. We are already very embarrassed. How can we bother you again?"

Lu Nuo, who hid behind the proprietress with an innocent and lovely face, poked his head out, looked at Lantiere with narrowed eyes and smiled, and then said sadly:

"You must come! I will miss you!"

While Lantiere was happily chatting with Lu Nuo and his mother, in the woods not far away, Li Muyan and everyone suddenly heard a strong explosion like an earthquake.

Turning his head and looking at the smoky forest with a shocked face, Lantiere's expression became tense in an instant.Frowning tightly, he quickly left the forest near everyone.

Lantierre comforted the terrified Rococo softly, and sent him to the hot spring hotel by magic.

Lantiere frowned, watching Wall and Carter, who were scattered in different places in deep pits, lying in a pool of blood, unconscious, and Naz, who was slapped into the boulder by a heavy blow.Leaning against the big tree with cracks in it, tightly covering his bleeding abdomen, frowning tightly because of the pain, Li Muyan, who had already shown the state of a nine-tailed fox, and the seriously injured people scattered around.Lantierre couldn't help biting his lips tightly.

Lantiere looked not far away, four people with different shapes and appearances, with proud faces and sinister faces as if they were playing around.The frowning brows and the originally plain expression suddenly seemed to form a layer of ice, the fingers slowly tightened, the nails were embedded in the flesh, and bleeding came from the pinch.

Looking at Rantiyer, who was obviously exuding a fearful hostility, the four people on the opposite side showed no trace of fear.The red-haired man in red, who was the leader among them, attacked Lantiere quickly with a lightning-fast speed and a vicious look on his face.

Just when the red-haired man in red was extremely fast and was about to approach Lantiere.Lantierre narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised his hand fiercely with eyes full of eyes. Facing the red-haired man in red, his outstretched palm suddenly clenched into a fist.He raised his eyebrows lightly, pursed his lips with contempt and said

"Get lost, chop suey."

In the shock of everyone, the red-haired man's chest suddenly sunken deeply as if it had been punched hard.The next moment, the red-haired man in red spit out a mouthful of blood, and was thrown a hundred meters away by Lantiere.

Looking at the red-haired man who was seriously injured and passed out, Lantiere turned his lips up and smiled evilly, squinting, squinting and staring at the other three who were clearly showing fear and trembling with fear, and walked slowly close to the road

"How? Do you still want to continue fighting?"

The three of them backed away instinctively with pale faces, looking at Rantiyer who was approaching them, the man with the green-haired animal face bit his lips tightly and ordered

"retreat!"

Together with the red-haired man who passed out not far away, the next moment, the four of them disappeared into the black mist.

Exhale lightly, and put away the powerful power that has leaked out and made people frightened.Lantiere closed his eyes lightly to restore his previous expression, turned around and looked at the people who were seriously injured and asked with concern

"How are you? Are you okay?"

Li Muyan swallowed lightly, recovering from the shock of the sudden incident just now.Sitting up straight, Li Muyan forced out a breath because of the pain in the wound, shook his head lightly and said

"I'm fine, you'd better see how the others are doing. They are more seriously injured than me."

With serious eyes, Lantiere frowned, and used healing magic to help Li Muyan heal the deep and long bleeding wound on his abdomen, bit his lips lightly, and said with regret

"It's all my fault for not arriving in time, otherwise you wouldn't have suffered such serious injuries."

Not far away, because of the heavy blow, it fell into a bush.Daniel, who was fainted by the fire magic attack and woke up leisurely, said with anger in his eyes

"As soon as we walked out of the forest, those people suddenly appeared and attacked us without any explanation. The shots were very ruthless."

Rantier, who helped Li Muyan heal his wound, frowned, looked at Fran who had finally broken free from the metal chain and asked

"Did they say anything after that?"

Gently wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Fran said

"They didn't say anything special, they just said it was a little gift from their master."

After listening to the descriptions of several people, Rantiyer couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Their master...?"

Due to excessive blood loss, Li Muyan swayed and supported the tree to stand up slowly.

"Perhaps their master may be a terrible enemy that we don't know."

Helping Daniel up, Lantiere looked stern and sighed softly.

"The last time the enemy didn't know the identity, but this time there was another enemy, and he came directly to a surprise attack."

As if remembering something, Li Muyan looked at Lantiere with worried eyes and asked

"What about Rococo? The sudden attack just now frightened her a lot."

Slow down, Lantiyer said with a light smile

"Don't worry, I just arrived, I have already sent her to the hot spring hotel."

With a soft breath, Li Muyan said

"That's good."

As he spoke, Li Muyan finally lost his strength and passed out.

Quickly approaching and catching the fainted Li Muyan, thinking of the enemy lurking at any moment, Lantier fell into deep thought.

Because everyone was seriously injured, they stayed in the hot spring hotel for nearly five days before leaving.

Going back to Fore's trip to the hot spring where he was in a good mood, he ended up being attacked, and everyone was naturally in a bad mood.

A few days later, everyone in Lantiere settled their emotions, looked at the people who sent them to the border of Fore and said with a smile

"Seven days later, it will be my 17th birthday. Everyone remember to come this time."

Squinting his eyes slightly, Mooney smiled lightly and said

"Okay, see you in seven days."

As he spoke, Mooney stretched out his hand to shake hands with Rantiyer.

Instead, Lantiere looked at Fran and Daniel and said

"At that time, you must come too."

Fran said softly

"At that time, Daniel and I will definitely go."

Under the reluctant gazes of everyone in Fore, everyone in Lantiyer was preparing to return to the capital and prepare for the birthday banquet in seven days.
