Chapter 868: The Past That Lanqi and Talia Want to Bring into the Tombstone

Late December.

In the early morning on the streets of Paria, two pairs of men and women were walking on the old-fashioned streets on the north bank of Paria. Miaia and Ifatia were walking in front, while Ranchi and Talia were walking behind with their cats.

"Today is the first day you arrive at Pariel, the flower capital of the Persian Kingdom. It is also the last day of December, meow."

"Early in the morning, you and Tata were ready for a date..."

On the streets of District 2 on the North Shore of Pariel, the Flower City, the cat boss had just spoken halfway when Lanqi and Talia covered his mouth at the same time.

The familiar city of Parieux was divided into north and south banks by the Selina River.

The north bank is traditionally regarded as the center of academia and art, while the south bank is more commercial. The Royal Palace of Huadu and the Senate are both located in the south. The north and south are almost symmetrical in terms of area code division. The closer to the river, the smaller the area number, and the closer to the edge, the larger the area number. The hotel in District 2 that they have just checked into when they arrived in Huadu can be said to be very close to the city center and is an extremely prosperous area.

"Meow meow."

The little black cat shrank its head and turned back into a quiet piece of pure black sugar-free whole wheat bread in Lanqi's hand.

"Don't bully my little black bread."

Ifatia took the cat boss from Lanqi's hand, covered it with her back, then turned around and said to her brother and sister in a wronged manner.

“We didn’t bully it.”

“Normally it’s broadcast every day.”

Lanci and Talia explained to Ifatia.

"Then let it finish. It's not wrong."

Ifatia said.

"What do you mean, that's right, it's lending us a date!"

They walked slowly and chatted as they walked, as if the whole city was playing a leisurely tune for them.

The streetside cafes exude the same coffee aroma no matter what season it is, while the lychee roses, chocolate chrysanthemums, and turquoise irises in the brown brick flower shop sparkle with dew on their bright petals in the early morning.

Lanqi was still wearing a warm gray coat today, but he tied a scarf around it.

He and Talia were casually looking at the morning bouquets on the street, and they seemed to think it was normal to go out with each other.

The last time they came to Huadu, in order to successfully record Kaliela's shadow weaving into a card, they followed Professor Bolaio's method of improving their tacit understanding and tried to go on more dates, regardless of whether they would succeed or not.

It turns out that it does seem to be of some use.

Now that they have mastered collaborative card making, they don't need to make appointments deliberately.

"We just arrived in Huadu and Boss Cat wants to choreograph us."

Talia shook her head and sighed.

As always, she looked exceptionally beautiful without any make-up or dressing up. She wore a light white long skirt with a jacket over it. Her long gray hair was occasionally gently blown by the morning breeze in the neighborhood, and she looked as dignified as usual.

"It's okay, sister. You look so beautiful in this outfit. You can start your date anytime."

Ifatia smiled and preached to her sister.

"I'm not dressing up for a date."

Talia refuted Ifatia with reason.

The sisters walked and talked.

They traveled for several days and arrived at the flower city of Parië before dawn today.

I had already rested well on the train, so when I arrived at the hotel in Huadu, I put down my luggage and went out.

The place they chose to stay was the same as the last time Ranchitata came to the Kingdom of Persian, a manor-style hotel located in the Parieux 2 district, with an excellent location, just a short walk from the Persian Palace and the Art Bridge.

"The hotel Rosalinda arranged for us was really good. Now that I think about it, she is really reliable."

Lanci looked back at the place where they would be staying in Parriere for the next two days.

One of the special features of this hotel is that breakfast can be enjoyed in a space similar to a "cave", and they are served breakfast as soon as they arrive. In addition, the hotel also provides 24-hour reception service to ensure the comfort and convenience of guests.

Coming to Huadu feels just like coming home.

Overall, the Bojinson Palace Manor Hotel perfectly combines traditional Bojinson living experience with modern comfort facilities, making it an ideal accommodation choice when visiting Parieux.

"Since it was Professor Bo Laao who recommended you and Tata to come to the Flower City, then Rosalinda must have taken care of you as her junior brothers and sisters. With her enthusiastic personality, she will definitely help you get everything done."

Miaiya recalled that she missed Rosalinda a lot.

Whenever I came to Pariel, the city of flowers, I would work with Rosalinda, and Rosalinda always did things in a very steady manner.

But he didn't know why Rosalinda would sometimes look at him and inexplicably take a sip of wine, then say nothing with tears in her eyes.

But this drinking habit did not affect his feeling that Rosalinda was a particularly good friend.

"By the way, I heard that the last Platinum Card Creator Examination was held by the Southern Continent Card Creator Association. Thank you for your hard work, my dear, invigilating for me. How did it feel? Did a guy named Loggins give you any trouble?"

Miaiya asked Lanqi.

He remembered that when he first started to invigilate, Logins, a platinum-level card maker in the Western Hub, had served as an inspector. He was very annoying, but it was not until he became an eighth-level card maker that Logins dared not to mess with him again.

"Wait, Duke, you really don't have to be so polite to me. You are a Magic Crystal-level card maker, and I am only a Platinum-level one. I replaced you because there was no one else in the Eastern Region. If we really talk about card making, without Tata's help, I would really be at the bottom of the Platinum-level. It's normal for Loggins to make things difficult for me."

Lanqi waved his hands repeatedly.

He felt something was wrong because Mi Gaiya naturally treated him as her brother-in-law.

Mi Gaiya seemed to enjoy observing his reaction, with the corners of her mouth occasionally curled up slightly. It might be that Mi Gaiya was born to love laughing, or it might be that Mi Gaiya was trying hard to purse her lips.

"Look, next time if Loggins dares to talk to you like that, I will call you brother-in-law to prove that you are also a member of our Alansar family. Let's see if he dares to be arrogant to you again."

Mi Gaiya planned proudly.

"do not."

Lanqi was about to veto when he felt Talia's cold gaze.

It seemed that she would not allow Lanqi to deny the title of brother-in-law.

"Then I'll tell Loggins that you're my son-in-law, and he probably won't dare to mess with you."

Mi Gaiya said this with understanding, and looked forward to Lanqi's answer.

"..."

Lanqi glanced at Migaiya, then looked at Talia.

He felt that Mi Gaiya had sent him to a dead end with just a few words.

The cat boss's head was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly realized that Miaiya was playing with Lanqi like a bad woman.

Miaiya now allows Lanqi and Hyperion to get married, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If he admitted it now, Talia would not accept it. If he denied it now, Miaiya, as a parent, might not agree to the marriage between Ranchi and Hyperion in the future.

The Duke might be testing Lanci, his future son-in-law or brother-in-law, or he might just like playing tricks on people, or he might simply like watching the Shura scene.

"Why can't he be both son-in-law and brother-in-law?"

Ifatia raised her hand when she didn't understand.

The other three people and the cat looked at her and fell into silence.

"Talia, call me mom, and you and Hyperion will be sisters from now on. That way everyone will be happy."

Ifatia turned to Talia, coughed lightly, and made a suggestion in the manner of an elder.

"Ifatia, you are rebelling!" Taliyah's brain first froze, and then she wanted to grab Ifatia to teach her rebellious sister a lesson.

"Wow, sister, don't hit me!"

Ifatia ran away with the cat in her arms.

"Meow! Ifatia, don't run so fast, meow!"

Boss Cat felt like he was on a roller coaster, being taken around the old neighborhood of Huadu by Ifatia.

"Ugh."

Lanqi looked at the demon princess sisters running farther and farther away, and felt that the demon tribe was really finished.

It doesn’t really matter whether the country is restored or not.

"Anyway, whether you are my brother-in-law or my son-in-law, we are all family. The Alansar family depends on you, and we are reunited now thanks to you. Although strictly speaking you are my biggest supporter now, if you want the Duke's family to be your supporter, I would also be happy to do so."

Mi Gaiya smiled and continued walking forward.

In fact, the more he looked at Lanqi, the more he admired her, but sometimes he couldn't help but teasing Lanqi.

Since the hotel was not too far from Nigel's office on the South Bank, Lanci and Tata did not plan to go there in a hurry.

Originally, Nigel was going to meet Ranchitata immediately, but they also knew that Nigel was currently very busy with official duties, and coming to see them would definitely delay a lot of urgent work at hand, so they made another appointment with Nigel for a later time.

Anyway, Lanqi and Talia are on vacation now, and they will stay in the Flower City for two days, so there is no need to rush.

After going out today, I followed Miaiya and Ifatiya, two frequent visitors to the Flower City, to take a walk to the downtown area on the north shore.

As a meeting point of diverse cultures, the Flower City of Parië has traditional arts and cuisines of the Kingdom of Persen that are difficult to fully explore in both the downtown areas of the south and north banks, and is influenced by the Persen Demon Realm and all over the world.

The theaters, art galleries, museums and concert halls in the city are witnesses to this cultural integration. Among them, there are many cafes and bookstores that often appear as literary scenes in dramas. They were once the workplaces of famous writers and thinkers in Persian. Lanqi and Talia were not able to visit all the most famous places when they came to Parië last time.

"Duke Migaiya, where are you going today?"

Lanqi and Miaiya were strolling leisurely in the back.

They could no longer see where the noisy sisters had gone.

But they will come back naturally after a while.

"We are going to give Etienne a surprise. She definitely didn't expect us to come back."

Migaiya preached to Lanqi.

On the train, Ifatia and he made a plan to visit the Flower City after many years. The first thing they had to do was to go to Area 9 of the Bosen Demon Realm to find Aitiou.

"You are really like a teacher and a sister to her. When she chats with us, she always mentions you two."

Lanci thought about Etienne, who got along well with Rosalinda and Talia.

When he went to Count Baptiste's house, the three of them were having a girls' meeting.

"You and Talia have no plan for today at all?"

As Miaiya and Lanqi walked, the architectural scenery around them kept changing.

Lanci just shook his head.

"You two are really not dating?"

Ifatia suddenly appeared from behind and patted Lanqi and Migaiya on the back, scaring them so much that they both staggered forward.

When they looked back, they realized that the sister had already run a full circle around the block and was actually running behind them.

"No, we each have our own plans today."

Lanqi and the returning Talia both rejected it tacitly.

To say that they had not discussed how to spend the day in Huadu would be a lie.

They just didn't want to tell Ifatia that they had actually already dated in Huadu, and whenever they recalled the ridiculous incident of the day when they hugged and fed each other for the entire afternoon, they felt so embarrassed that they couldn't sit still!

We agreed that we should take this matter to the cemetery, so no one should mention anything related to the date today.

"Meow, everyone should be busy with their own things. It's better to be busy."

As soon as the cat boss' heart calmed down, he quickly flew out of Ifatia's arms and returned to Lanqi's head.

It is the classic car Lanqi that makes it feel most at ease.

"I'm going to go find Countess Rosalinda."

Talia spoke first, she always thought about this good friend.

As a platinum-level card maker, Countess Rosalinda and she had a lot to talk about.

When they first arrived in Parië, the capital of flowers, it was Countess Rosalinda who received and took care of them.

The snacks at the Earl's are also quite delicious.

"I might go to Count Baptiste's house. I was taken care of by them in the Flower City, Pariel. I wonder if you, Duke Ifatia and Duke Migaia, know the Baptiste family."

Lanqi also told her about her schedule, proving that she would not be with Talia today.

"Count Baptiste, I've met him a few times, but we're not very familiar with each other. His family is very rich. Their main businesses are finance and winemaking, so they don't have much overlap with my work in Huadu. Count Baptiste may have wanted to get to know me before, but he didn't have much intention of flattering me, so we didn't have any more contact later."

Mi Gaiya recalled.

"So that's it."

Lanqi remembered that when Miaiya was active as a card maker in the Person Kingdom, Christina, the eldest daughter of Count Baptiste, was still a little girl and did not show any talent.

Later, Christina showed some talent in magic and went to the Royal Academy of Alolan. At this time, Count Baptiste's family might need a high-level card maker to befriend.

"The Flower City is a great place for a date."

Ifatia grumbled in disappointment.

She didn't care at all about what Lanqi and Miaiya were talking about, she just wanted her sister to date Lanqi.

"We can't date in Huadu."

Lanci and Talia reiterated in unison.

They can date on the ocean, on the train, on the floating castle or the empty yacht, on the beach, on the street and in the theater, but they will never date in the Flower City!

Just seeing the iconic sights of the Flower City would bring back memories of the cat's meowing during their oolong date on the day of the Fireworks Festival, when they held the cat in their arms and fed it for the entire afternoon. Thinking back on it now, they were too embarrassed to bear it.

"That's a shame. I would also like to recommend you to go to the Coron Zhiriqiao Inn Restaurant. That restaurant was opened fifty years ago by the famous chef Bro Pagus of the Persian Kingdom. He is known as the Pope of the Persian Kingdom's culinary world and has been awarded the Royal Gold Fork Medal. That restaurant is also one of the food icons of the Flower City Pariel and even the entire Persian Kingdom. Most importantly, the afternoon tea-style meals there are very suitable for couples to slowly enjoy the entire afternoon."

Mi Gaiya spread his hands and told the suggestion he had originally planned.

If he were to recommend the best place for a date lunch, he would definitely recommend that place.

"I remember the last time we went there was more than ten years ago. At that time, we held hands and fed each other."

Ifatia immediately found the restaurant from her memory and spoke to Migaiya with shining eyes.

The restaurant was on the banks of the Salina River, about four or five kilometers away from North Shore District 2 where they were now. The exterior of the restaurant was plain, but the interior was extremely luxurious, showing master-level taste everywhere.

"Thank you, thank you for the recommendation, but we really won't go today..."

The cat boss was so scared that he didn't dare to lie on Lanqi's head anymore.

Ifatia and Migaia were almost blushing just from talking so much.
