Five days later, Z Port, late at night.

The bonfires illuminated the outline of the port town. The returned fishermen were tied to the shore. They carried the harvest all day long and poured some hot wine with their old friends. They sat down around the bonfire at the entrance of the tavern. The boss who was familiar with them quickly brought the hot fish soup to the table. The few people were talking and laughing, but they started chewing the bread that was so hard that it hurts.

During this period, several people naturally talked about the "news" they heard as usual.

"This morning, I heard the merchants passing by say that the plague seemed to have spread to City W. The guy was scared very much and kept saying that the whole City W is now full of monsters, but in my opinion, it was probably what he made up to scare people."

"That's not necessarily the case. When I went to the Demon Hunter Guild before, I had a conversation with several Demon Hunters. They seemed to say that an elite team had lost their news in City W. Now, the Demon Hunter Guild, which is closer to City W, are gathering people."

"Then the plague will not spread to us, right?"

"It's hard to say, but it's better to be careful."

...

Marian sat opposite Gu Yun, listening absent-mindedly to the conversation between the townsmen outside the tavern. The table was filled with all the delicious dishes in the tavern, but compared with the delicious food I tasted when I first met Gu Yun, this table of dishes could only be described as tasteless.

She chewed the bread carefully, then unconsciously pulled the hard bread into a floe and let it scatter on the plate.

In the past few days, they left the crisis in W City and came to the simple and simple port of Z. One afternoon after arriving here, Gu Yun helped her choose a suitable house, and then took care of the room for her, neatly hanging the exquisite clothes brought from W City in the closet.

Two bulging wallets were stuffed into the storage box under the bed. The coins inside were exchanged for Gu Yun's exchange for monsters all the way from the Demon Hunter Guild. These coins were enough for her to live alone in Z Port for a long time.

Without the crisis-ridden environment, there is no need to use the white flowers and snow in the courtyard to satisfy one's hunger and thirst. For her, this should have been the beginning of a new life.

But Marianne was not happy at all at this moment because she knew very well what it meant when these trivial matters were resolved.

Gu Yun seemed to have not noticed Marian's depressed mood at all, and asked himself, "You have good comprehension ability. You have already mastered the knowledge of the elemental part. It should not be a problem to use it for self-defense. But if you try not to use it every time you are in a critical moment, otherwise the witch hunter will notice you."

"I know without you saying it."

Marian said angrily, even though she herself didn't know why.

Gu Yun didn't care. He knew that this was the age when a little girl was most likely to get angry. "Protect yourself, and don't forget to practice."

"knew."

"So……"

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing Gu Yunjing get up and his decisive style was as usual, Marian finally couldn't help but call him and reached out to grab the corner of Gu Yun's clothes.

"how?"

“When will it be the next time we meet?”

The beautiful amber pupils stared at Gu Yun for a moment, as if they were a little careless, and the other party was about to disappear.

Gu Yun answered her in a relaxed tone, "After more than ten years? If you are not lucky, it may be hundreds of years later."

Marian's lips moved, trying to say something, but the words to her mouth were finally pressed back to her heart. She knew that Gu Yun was tight at this moment, and knew that for him, he could see himself again in just a blink of an eye, but for her, the past ten years or even hundreds of years was an extremely long span.

It was so long that it had exceeded her imagination.

The hand that grabbed Gu Yun's corner of his body loosened.

"Go away."

Marian subconsciously followed Gu Yun out of the tavern. She stood in the tavern for a long time, watching Gu Yun out of the town, and finally disappeared into the depths of the darkness.

"Little girl, little girl?"

After a while, the call from the tavern owner brought Marian back to his senses. The honest uncle stood at the door at some point. He kindly reminded Marian, "It's very cold, and if you don't eat it, the food will be cold."

Marian did not answer and returned to the table.

She saw the chili powder used for seasoning on the table, and gritted her teeth and poured a whole small plate of chili powder on the skewers of the grilled fish that had not been touched a few bites. She ignored the surprised eyes of the tavern owner, and before the latter made a sound to stop it, she bit her viciously.

Almost as soon as I entered my mouth, tears burst out, and the spicy taste on my taste buds was like tear gas, so my vision became blurred.

This grilled fish is so spicy!

So hot that tears came out!

If you can't roast, you can't roast it!

Marian had a straight eyebrows and glared at the boss watching the fun. She was so hot that she couldn't speak, and could only use her eyes to convey her dissatisfaction with the grilled fish.

The boss was amused by Marian's behavior. As a bystander who witnessed the entire conversation between Marian and Gu Yun, he could understand Marian's mood at this moment. In this era, separation is really a common thing.

He grinned and handed a hot drink to Marian, "Haha, little girl, welcome to Port Z."

21 Time, City X.

The bright moon is in the sky, and warm orange lights illuminate the luxurious suite.

Lanca and Marian sat face to face. The takeaway she packed not long ago was placed on the table between them. She didn't know why the mistress suddenly became interested in the dishes here, nor why the mistress suddenly had the interest in invite her to dinner.

Lanka had no joy in her heart for dinner with her mistress, she only felt Alexander now.

She felt that the expression of the mistress today was too rich. Maybe the mistress herself hadn't noticed that the change in her expression just now could almost produce an emoticon.

Lanka wanted to record these beautiful pictures and spread them widely in the small group of the Witch Association's top leaders, but for her own life, she quickly dispelled this dangerous idea.

The food I packed was almost cold, but the mistress was still immersed in her own world.

At this moment, Marian's cheeks were flushed. She subconsciously raised her right hand to cover half of her face. Her beautiful eyebrows were tightly frowned, as if she was recalling the embarrassing things in the past.

Then, Lanka watched the fork in the mistress's hand avoid the tempting fat cow and put a pepper into her mouth. After chewing it for a few times, the blush on the mistress's face became even more obvious.

“Lanka.”

Just when Lanca was completely stunned by this scene, Marian's eyes were already on her.

Lanka, who heard his name, was shocked.

Miss Mother...

Could it be that I want to silence you?

"Why is this sour soup fat beef so spicy?"

Marian's eyebrows were straight, but his eyes were so obvious that they were trying to cover up.

Miss Mother, that's because you stuttered with chili peppers.

Lanka wanted to answer this, but her intuition told her that this might be a question, so she immediately coughed lightly and pretended to be indignant, "That's right, what kind of chef is this? How dare you put peppers in the sour soup and fat beef to plot against the mistress! Miss Mother, don't be angry, I'll settle the score with him now!"

"return."
