After a while——

Sitting opposite each other in the pavilion with the Six Paths of Thousand Flowers Enchanting Spirit Formation, Lu Lingqiu and Yan Ye were quietly sipping fragrant tea.

The warm and warm light slanted down on the table, reflecting the girl's unconcealable smile.

Although the master had just shown his reckless side again, he actually appeared after his wish! Moreover, he even drank tea with him and enjoyed the pleasant afternoon despite his busy schedule. This experience was really too great.

Too rare.

His mood was no longer as flustered as before. Yan Ye replaced the slightly cold honey grapefruit tea leaves, brewed a pot of "fried flowers and falling snow" with his own Suzaku fire, and served it to the owner himself.

Lu Lingqiu smiled and took the unique "Xiaoye's tea" in the world, and took a sip under the expectant eyes of the girl——

Then he toasted it like a cow.

"!"

“Delicious.”

He half-held the exquisite Firebird tea cup, looked at her more delicate face, and said seriously.

"Really...really?!"

"Well, it tastes better than what I brewed myself." Lu Lingqiu smiled slightly.

"Eh?!"

His mood that had calmed down once again stirred up waves with his few words. The girl blushed and even wanted to take out a fox mask and put it on immediately...

"Haha, Xiaoye, you are still so cute."

Lu Lingqiu knew that among the second-generation spirit envoys, Yan Ye was the most sensitive. Even if she was reborn, her character would not change. However, this was also the reason why she would be perfect in whatever tasks she performed.

.

"Master is really..."

The girl turned her head, not daring to look at him anymore. After all, only she knew that once she saw her master's face too much, she would have very dangerous impulses in her heart.

That is very bad and wrong.

"By the way, does the new spirit uniform still fit?"

Lu Lingqiu put down the teacup in his hand and asked warmly.

The girl at this moment was wearing the latest style of "Red Lotus Fire" haori, which glowed bright red under the warm sunshine of dusk.

This extremely gorgeous coat was rushed out by Lan Yurou overnight according to his design before leaving. Sure enough, after Yan Ye put it on, it was paired with a black dress with a feather lining and her white legs exposed.

, which perfectly brings out her hazy, inaccessible and lonely temperament to the extreme.

"Ah... it fits very well! I like it very much."

Hearing Lu Lingqiu's question, the girl stood up with a smile, walked to the side of the stone table, slightly raised her arms and turned towards him, so that the master could appreciate her clothes more closely.

What it looks like during "Red Lotus Fire".

"It's so beautiful."

Lu Lingqiu said in a daze.

"Really?!"

"Um."

He nodded.

I just don’t know whether the phrase “beautiful” refers to the clothes or the person in front of me.

But even if he didn't say it, the sensitive Xiaoye could still feel the master's feelings for her beyond "appreciation" from the atmosphere in the air.

He couldn't help but think about it with his face turning even pinker:

"Master... maybe... he also likes me a little bit... right...?"

This idea had just sprouted, and before it could ferment, it was suppressed by my own rationality——

"No, I can't be greedy anymore. The master has obviously come to accompany me, so I can't push myself too far. As long as...as long as I can watch him from a distance and remove the demonic obstacles for him."

Just when she was confused, embarrassed and nervous, she suddenly felt a light touch under her feet...

"What...what's going on?!"

When she came back to her senses again, the girl was shocked to find that she was actually held directly on his lap by her master like a princess.

"Ahhhhhhh——?!! Master...Master?!!"

"Keep your voice down, Xiaoye, this is your reward for completing the mission."

"Cocoa is..."

She was completely unprepared and before she could say anything, she once again enjoyed the wonderful feeling of being stroked by her master's warm hands on her hair.

"Ah... no way... is my idea going to be realized again?! I am not really going to become a demon god! It must be like this!!!"

Her heart was extremely messy, and her face was full of disbelief.

Lu Lingqiu hugged her and said softly:

"Xiaoye, I have something to say to you."

"...Master, you tell me."

She raised her head and looked at his face nervously, completely at a loss.

"Actually, I've been wondering for a long time whether it restricts your freedom too much."

Lu Lingqiu said in a deep voice:

"The promise I made to you and Shuilian can never be fulfilled in a true sense. It was the same when I asked Jin Yu to stay here. It was only after so long that I realized that it was not a holiday, but a torment."

"Eh?! Master..."

Yan Ye quickly understood what he meant. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head slightly and said:

"It's okay with me."

"As long as it is the master's task, no matter how long it takes, I can complete it to the end."

"Whether it's loneliness or loneliness, these are all experiences in missions and something that cannot be avoided in life. I am satisfied if I can occasionally see the master's face like this."

She looked directly into his eyes, her eyes full of seriousness and infatuation.

"well."

But he saw Lu Lingqiu caressing the girl's cheek, pushing her loose hair behind her ears, and sighed softly:

"It is precisely because I know that you will accept all unreasonable tasks for me that I want to change this situation and find a way for you to truly enjoy the holiday."

"Huh?" Yan Ye blinked, somewhat confused as to what the "real holiday" he meant was.

In her opinion, compared to wandering around the Nanli Abyss forever, she is very happy to join the Jinghua Palace to work for the master; and sitting here is more leisurely than when she went out to do the "Thousand Eyes Illusion" task.

I have learned a lot and am not so tired.

Just listen to Lu Lingqiu continue to say:

"So, I plan to wait for Asuka to come back and thoroughly formulate the 'New Rules for the Jinghua Palace Mission', so that each of you can enjoy your own time.

At that time, I will find a way to temporarily replace Xiaoye's current boring work through puppetry or spirit control, so that you can gain free time."

This idea came to him on the way here, and it is very suitable for Mu Qing to do. Once the little deer can control the tree spirits and talk to flowers and plants, once the breakthrough is successful, it is obvious that he can use the top-level wood attribute skills to make some

By then, the task of guarding the Six Paths and Ten Thousand Flowers Formation can be perfectly replaced by the intelligent plant and tree spirits.

This plan has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can save the time of the spirit envoys sitting here. The disadvantage is that the intelligence and cultivation of the summoned or psychic objects will not be as high as that of the real spirit envoys, so the defense level will be lowered.

Quite a few...but that's not a big problem. After all, the interior of Jinghua Palace has never been raided by outsiders since ancient times.

"Eh?!"

After hearing the master's words, Yan Ye's first reaction was not happiness, but surprise, and he asked in a panic:

"Nana...Master, what should I do then?"

"At that time, Xiaoye could do whatever she wanted." Lu Lingqiu replied with a smile.

"Is this so? But I still want to do something for the master..."

The girl muttered in a tangled voice. For her, not working means having nothing to do, and doing nothing means not paying for the master and failing to reflect her own value; and if she cannot reflect her own value, she has no meaning of existence...

Lu Lingqiu knew her very well, and of course he understood what she was thinking at the moment, so——

He suddenly lowered his head and quickly moved closer to the girl's blank face, so that the distance between them was only half an inch:

"How about going to bed?"

"Why?!!!"
