Don't confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 872 The mysterious black-haired woman Lan Qi met

The afternoon sun became soft and lazy, making the air on the window side of the restaurant feel a little more lingering.

"ah."

Lanci cut off a piece of sautéed veal with his fork, dipped it in the sauce, and brought it to Thalia's mouth.

Thalia opened her mouth shyly, and soon a spoon fed the sliced ​​pieces into her mouth, and Lanqi's hand caught the spoon to prevent the food from falling on her.

“Did we skip a lot of steps and get right to the point?”

Thalia asked Lanchi as she chewed and swallowed.

As delicious food was presented one after another, the two of them started feeding and receiving food regardless of the food today.

After they started eating like this, they realized that in the past they would have dragged on for a long time. At this time, the willing feeding started too smoothly, which actually made her feel a little ashamed like she had never felt before.

"Or we can go shopping and come back for dinner?"

Lan Qi suggested asking.

"No, it's better to do business."

Thalia shook her head and continued to taste the familiar dishes at the restaurant of Colon Zhi Ri Bridge Inn.

After leaving Platinumson Palace, they followed the established route to a restaurant that was not too far away.

The lights in the main hall were bright, reflecting the luster of pure white tablecloths and silver tableware. Looking out from their sofa booths by the window, they had an unobstructed view of the Selena River. The water on the blue river was like a dream, which made them feel happy. Very relaxed.

"Don't you need me to hold you this time?"

Lan Qi asked her slightly provocatively.

He had learned how to deal with Thalia today.

Even though these overly intimate behaviors have attracted envious or ridiculing looks from others, Lan Qi has no time to care.

This is him and Thalia face to face.

Cowardly people will be whipped like tops.

"!"

Thalia stopped eating for a moment.

Although both parties entered the feeding mode after starting the meal, it was still difficult for Thalia to let go immediately, and her whole body was tense.

Lan Qi obviously seized this opportunity to torment her and catch her off guard.

Lan Qi noticed her frozen look.

The more Talia thought about it, the more she thought this guy deserved it.

"Should I take human form, cat form, or...I use human form but you think of me as a cat?"

Thalia simply didn't hide her shyness, approached Lan Qi, and whispered to him.

After saying that, she meowed in Lan Qi's ear with an inaudible voice.

“…”

The dinner fork in Lan Qi's hand also lightly touched the porcelain plate.

He didn't expect Teacher Ta to be so relaxed today.

If this continues, they will have to go through the dating process again.

"Would you be mad at me if I accidentally read your weight?"

Lanci hoped that Talia would be more sensible.

"...You read it once or twice. I won't blame you. I said you can mess with me today."

Thalia controlled her temper and kept smiling as she answered.

"But my reading is real-time. By the way, how do you keep eating but the weight changes very little?"

Lan Qi was very curious about this question last time, but he didn't dare to ask it last time.

“…”

Thalia really clenched her fists this time.

She wanted to scold Lan Qi, but she was afraid that Lan Qi would be satisfied and read in real time. Could it be possible to use differential derivation to study the rate of her weight change during the meal?

"Because I am using magic to quickly decompose food into physical strength and mana. This is my recovery magic."

Thalia exhaled and patiently explained to Lan Qi.

"Then why don't you return the mana you restored to me?"

Lan Qi was shocked immediately after hearing this.

Mana always flows to those who do not lack it.

Thalia has been consuming his mana so much that for her, the mana itself is something that can be surplus.

"There is no way. After using the demon fusion, although I will be the controller of consciousness as the holder of the earrings, my physical characteristics will be more biased towards the fused person, so like Lanfu, I no longer have a mana bar, even if I recover. It can’t be poured back into you.”

Thalia told Lanqi about the epic equipment mechanism that they had already studied and become familiar with.

"Unless you become my familiar, I can use my magic power for you, and your power consumption should be very low, so you won't be able to use up all my magic power."

Thalia thought about it and felt that it was actually more reasonable for Lanqi to be her familiar.

"Wouldn't it be Tamisha and Lanclos?"

In Lan Qi's impression, he dreamed about the story after the Blood Moon bad world. After Lan Cross was found by Tamisha, he should have become Tamisha's familiar.

"Yes, that kind of partnership is strong. Don't you think our mana supply and mana consumption are completely reversed?"

Thalia discussed it seriously with Lanci.

Although she knew that the topic had been dropped, she tacitly continued the new topic with Lan Qi.

There will be an opportunity in the future to do things like feeding each other. It can be done at home. There is no need to torture each other in the restaurant.

"It's true."

Lan Qi imagined that if he and Talia swapped roles, Talia might have the appearance of a demon king.

"Don't I have one now? Am I not the cutest devil in history?"

Thalia questioned.

“…”

Lan Qi finally couldn't hold it any longer, picked up the fork with trembling hands, and continued to feed Talia to hide her smile.

"Answer me, didn't you say that I'm cute? You've said it several times, and I remember it clearly."

Thalia took the food handed by Lan Qi in one gulp and asked him.

Lan Qi's movements in feeding her were too skillful. Even if Lan Qi didn't hold her and feed her this time, she felt like she was thoroughly studied by Lan Qi. The food choices were so satisfying to her that she almost melted.

"Tata, do you know? Lanfu's efforts are worthless in front of your talent."

While Lan Qi was feeding her, he would wipe the residue from the corners of her mouth with a napkin from time to time and praise her wholeheartedly.

"I think you want to act in a play with me again, but I can't reward you this time."

At first, Thalia was still sitting upright, but as time passed, she seemed to be tired. She tried hard to clear her mind to reduce her sense of shame. She just opened her mouth, chewed, and cooperated with Lanqi's movements.

The hands of the clock move slowly, and the sun slowly sets in the west.

At this moment, he really felt that Thalia was like a gentle kitten, maybe more like a big cat.

Even if it didn't jump on her this time, she still snuggled close to him.

"Tata, I still have a question."

Lan Qi didn't know how much time passed in the restaurant, but he was sure that the guests left one after another.

They were the only ones who continued to sit by the window and eat lunch that was almost ready for dinner.

"You asked."

Thalia has been mentally prepared in advance.

"Since you have the magic to break down food quickly, why do you still gain weight?"

Lan Qi asked if he didn't understand.

"!"

Thalia instantly recovered from the delicious food, blushed and looked up at him.

"Well, that's because I was too thin before. I didn't eat anything good at all when I was homeless. Didn't you notice?"

she preached to Ranchi.

"It seems so."

Lan Qi thought it was because he ate too much and had a calorie surplus that Talia's special spell couldn't completely curb.

"...No, really not."

Thalia was speechless and could only continue to eat the food that Lan Qi put to her mouth.

She heard what Lan Qi was thinking.

After thinking for a while, she touched her belly again.

She has obviously not gained weight, which means that the little weight she has gained in the past two years is harmless and is a natural balance.

"Fur."

Lan Qi noticed her little movements and her thoughts at the moment, and politely suppressed her smile.

"you…"

Thalia wanted to curse but stopped.

She must hold back today.

She simply didn't stop, grabbed Lan Qi's wrist, and asked him to put his hand on her flat belly.

"Look, I don't have a belly. If you don't believe me, feel it yourself."

She let go of her hand and let Lan Qi feel it.

“…”

Ranchi once again received the wrong parameters.

There are not many people who can make Lan Qi's brain shut down, but Thalia is definitely the only one who is the strongest.

He could never guess what Thalia would do next.

…

In the distance outside the restaurant, on a boat on the river.

Rosalinda rowed easily, with the little black cat on her head, turning back and forth from time to time.

"What are they talking about? Tata's face was so red just now."

Rosalinda only occasionally saw Talia chatting and interacting with Lanci again through the telescope handed over by Maomao.

Unfortunately, they were too far away on the Selina River, and using detection magic would definitely be discovered by Lanci and Thalia in the restaurant, so even after the disguise, she could only take the little black cat to watch from a distance.

"Meow…"

It was difficult for the cat boss to describe in words what Lanqi and Talia were doing at this moment, and it was also difficult for him to figure out what kind of competition the two were having.

It could only use telepathy to hand down the telescope and let Countess Rosalinda look at it for herself.

"Oh my god, what are they...?!"

Rosalinda felt herself blush just looking at it.

Although the last time they saw Lan Qi and Tata, the two of them liked to do little tricks of pinching their waists, but now they had no scruples in the restaurant, and it was Lan Qi who started to attack Talia.

"I, even when I was drunk, I couldn't imagine letting Milaya do this to me."

Rosalinda covered her face with her hands and twisted her upper body.

"Meow…"

Boss Cat thought that there was indeed a reason why Rosalinda seemed to lose.

The Duchess has been missing for more than ten years. You can play at least a dozen resurrection matches, but you still haven't won Milaya. Is there something wrong with your own playing?

…

The light and shadow are constantly changing in the restaurant of Colon Zhiri Bridge Inn, and the river in the distance is also coated with a layer of golden orange. Only Lanta is still feeding me tirelessly.

The sun gradually sinks into the horizon, dyeing everything in the flower capital Parrieu a gorgeous orange-red color.

The restaurant of Colon Zhiri Bridge Inn has begun to welcome dinner customers.

And Lanci and Talia's lunch was finally coming to an end.

The waiter warmly served them desserts.

Normally, managers would feel a headache for customers who occupy their seats for too long on weekends, but these two are different. They are real distinguished guests who keep spending.

Desserts are another specialty of the restaurant.

The chestnut cake is made with fresh chestnut puree from the Yaquidans Mountains in the Poisson Kingdom, and the mouth is filled with the sweetness of chestnuts.

Lan Qi cut it up and fed it to Talia in small bites.

The cake is wrapped with a layer of crispy almond slices, and the inside is mainly made of freshly picked raspberry puree. After repeated whipping, it is soft and light as a cloud. Thalia can taste the sour and sweet raspberries every time she sips.

Looking at the lunch that was about to be fed, both of them felt that today's date was almost over.

"Dating is really easy."

Thalia felt like she was a practicing expert in dating now, as she sipped her tea.

Even if I have to coach Miss Zhu Zhu next time, she will be even more comfortable.

She hasn't contacted Miss Zhu Zhu for a long time. When she returns to Ikerite, she will make an appointment for a meal with this friend who she has never actually met offline.

With black coffee and floral tea after the meal, Lanci and Talia ended the feast.

"Welcome both of you to come again next time."

Before leaving, the waiter brought them an extra gift box of matcha and mango pastries from the restaurant. Thalia took it with a blushing face and left in a hurry.

In fact, the more polite the restaurant staff were to them, the more embarrassed she became.

The waiters saw the two of them eating awkwardly all afternoon.

"Let's go find Yifatiya and Miliya and ask them where we can play in Huadu at night, or maybe they can take us to visit Poson Demon World for a few times."

The moment Lanci and Thalia stepped out of the restaurant door, Parrieux was already covered with sunset at four or five o'clock in the winter afternoon.

Today is not a holiday. It stands to reason that Milaya and Ifatiya, as frequent visitors to Huadu, would know the fun places of Huadu better than they do.

"By the way, they should be in Posen District 6 today. The place where Etiou received them is at the Saint Silver Vine Arena. Their plan today may be to watch the game."

Thalia remembered that Rosalinda said this morning that Etio had made an appointment to meet distinguished guests at the Holy Silver Vine Arena.

The first time she and Lan Qi met Etiou was at the Holy Silver Vine Arena. Etiou was originally one of the current leaders of the Saint Silver Vine Arena. Now that Perlman, the lord of Posen Demon World District 10, has died, Ai Tiou As the representative lord of the Posen Demon Realm and a demon clan close to humans, Tio's influence on Huadu Parrieu has increased a lot.

That arena was also the place where Atio first met Milaya and Epatia. She was just a player with a contract at first, and her talents were discovered by Milia and Epatia later.

"Holy Silver Vine Arena, I haven't been there for a long time."

Lan Qi still vividly remembered the venue where the platinum-level card maker took the exam and the arena where he and Talia fought black boxing together.

The two of them walked along the street. Ancient buildings were lined up row upon row, and the stone brick walls were particularly warm under the sunset. They stopped holding hands and walked more freely.

Gradually, the two walked out of the noisy downtown area and turned into a less traveled road.

The winding path winds up, with ivy pouring down like waterfalls on both sides of the road.

Even without the need to talk, they both had a tacit understanding of what to do next.

They know the route outside the restaurant of Colon Zhiri Bridge Inn very well, and they were too impressed when they came here last time.

Montmartre is the highest place in the entire capital.

Along the road to the high ground, you can have a panoramic view of Huadu. Not only are there comfortable benches to rest on, but you can also overlook the sunset.

The Montmartin area in District 3 on the North Shore is extremely high compared to other districts in Parrieu. Even the Selena River cannot flow upstream. There are picturesque winding paths, towering sacred churches, and The hill square where painters gathered, and the song and dance hall where people sang every night.

By bypassing the Montmartre area, they can directly reach an area with convenient transportation, and then take the city's rail transit directly to the St. Silver Vine Arena in District 6.

In just a few minutes, they reached the high point of Montmarty.

Fallen leaves are piled on the roadside, children are playing and running on the path from time to time, and in the distance there are middle-aged people in formal clothes reading newspapers.

Looking around, you can have a panoramic view of the vast city of Parrieux. The setting sun has begun to slowly melt on the horizon, and the sky is dyed pink, like a burning sunset.

“Life is a wilderness, and it’s beautiful when you’re riding through it.”

Thalia sighed as she felt the leisure at the moment.

The warm evening breeze blew their hair, bringing a light fragrance of roses, which was refreshing.

She had rarely felt such tranquility, and wished it could last forever.

"How about we go back for dinner?"

Lan Qi looked at the clock tower and suddenly asked.

Although they had just finished lunch, it was already time for dinner.

"I'm very full. If you want to go back, it's my turn to feed you."

Thalia felt that Lanqi's motive for raising this question was very suspicious.

She was extremely full now and had rarely eaten so much.

It's all Lan Qi's fault. He fed her so much that when she was with him, it was as if she had no control switch.

"No, no, no need."

Lan Qi shook his head.

He was constantly worried that Thalia would be hungry, but he didn't need Thalia to feed him.

Just imagining Thalia feeding, he felt like she would become like a mother feeding her child.

"Are you shy, Lan Qi? Are you imagining that I will nurse the child during the day and nurse you at night?"

Thalia poked Lan Qi's cheek and asked him with a playful smile.

"What kind of words are you talking about?"

Lan Qi turned his head to look at her with wide eyes.

"I'm talking about breakfast and dinner, don't get it wrong!"

Thalia immediately realized the problem with her words and quickly defended.

She soon realized that the more she explained, the more confusing she became, and she slowly turned her head, no longer staring at Lan Qi's face.

Fortunately, their lunch today was relatively normal. If they were discovered by their friends in Icerita holding and feeding them all afternoon like last time, then both of them might as well just escape from this world.

“…”

The setting sun cast a layer of light on Thalia's delicate face, and the dusk of this flower city was reflected in her eyes, as if memories were flowing.

Unknowingly, it has been so long since I came to this beautiful city, and the memories of every moment are particularly clear when I think about it now.

"Can you take me to more places to play in the future?"

Thalia seemed to be tired from all the hard work, or maybe because she was full of wine and food, her tone returned to her usual calm tone, and she no longer made trouble with Lan Qi.

Lan Qi didn't answer her, but simply raised his hand and raised his little finger.

Thalia looked at Lan Qi and hesitated for a moment.

Then a smile appeared on her lips, and she reached out and hooked his little finger with her little finger.

…

The clouds gradually faded, and the sun finally sank completely below the horizon.

The sky in Huadu transitioned from gorgeous orange-red to deep indigo, and under this almost night sky, the two of them also drove to the edge of Parrieux near Posen's Demon Realm.

In the 6th district on the north shore of Parrieux, the capital of Poisson, the St. Silver Vine Arena is about 25 kilometers away from the center of Parrieux and can be easily reached through a convenient public transportation system.

As the designated venue and multi-functional arena for the Huadu Holy Grail Familiar Competition, the Holy Silver Vine Arena is bustling all year round. Even if they are not employers and players, there are a large number of spectators who like to watch the games and place bets here as a leisure and entertainment project. You can even take a small gamble through borrowing money, making a profit if you win and a small profit if you lose.

Its unique geographical location allows it to not only serve the competitive and cultural activities of the Parrieux region, but also facilitate spectators from the entire Poisson Kingdom and even the international community to come and watch the games.

But a kilometer further north is a sparsely populated neighborhood.

Just because the Holy Silver Vine Arena is close to the entrance to the Posen Demon Realm.

The second floor of the Holy Silver Vine Arena.

In the hallway outside the executive director's office.

"It's very close to the Posen Demon Realm. It's convenient for them to come and go."

When Thalia arrived at the arena, she found out from the staff that Etio had been in the arena this afternoon.

Passing through the door with the ancient space enchantment in the north, you can enter the Posen Demon Realm, and areas 7 to 10 in the north of Huadu Parrieu are the demon territory.

Ordinary Huadu residents will not go deep into the Posen Demon Realm after arriving around the arena, because in the Demon Realm, humans are no longer protected by special laws and regulations, and demons are no longer strictly restricted from harming humans.

This Holy Silver Vine Arena can be said to be a veritable "realm and boundary" landmark building.

"Since Miss Atio is not in the audience with Ifatia and Duke Milaya, she must be here."

Lan Qi looked at the door of the executive director's office in the distance and exchanged thoughts with Talia beside him.

This is the core office area. Loud noises are not allowed and must be kept as quiet as possible.

"Um."

Thalia's best friends in Huadu were Countess Rosalinda and Demon Lord Atio.

She couldn't wait to see Atio.

As they approached, they gradually heard Aiteo's exciting voice and Ifatiya's cheerful laughter as always.

But for some reason, they also heard the laughter of a woman, laughing together with Ifatiya.

"Do you still have friends?"

Lanci asked Thalia in his mind.

He felt that the voice did not sound like Countess Rosalinda. It sounded more reserved and elegant. Compared to the enthusiastic Countess Rosalinda, she was more like an aristocratic lady who kept a distance from others.

"I don't know, he should be a friend of Yifa and Atio."

Thalia thought about it for a while, and she was sure that Aitiou, Ifatiya, and Miliya had many acquaintances in Huadu, which she and Lanqi definitely didn't know about.

"But what are they laughing at? They are laughing so happily."

Lan Qi was slightly puzzled by this.

He guessed that Etiou and others had finished watching the game at the Saint Silver Vine Arena in the afternoon, and then just returned to the steward's office for dinner at this time.

But it was like they were watching a video of their meal while they were eating, laughing constantly.

Lan Qi and Talia looked at each other, with no answer in their eyes. They could only walk closer to the office to find out later.

gradually.

Ifatiya's voice also became clearer.

"Hahahaha, sister and brother-in-law look like a stupid couple."

The moment they heard these words, both of them stopped in their tracks.

"That day, Rosalinda and I and the little black cat were rowing on the lake and watching them. They actually ate in the restaurant all afternoon."

Atio's voice also came through the door.

"It turns out that they both have been to the restaurant of Colon Zhiri Bridge Inn a long time ago. I was wondering why they both suddenly became famous this morning."

Ifatiya laughed so hard that she slapped her legs.

What she didn't know was that at this moment, there were two people in the corridor outside the door becoming red and warm again.

Lanci and Talia now feel like everything is over and they are on pins and needles.

Could it be that the last time the two of them had dinner at the restaurant of Colon Zhiri Bridge Inn, Etiou recorded the whole process? !

Now Etiou, Ifatia and the others are eating and watching at the same time?

"Did they just hold hands and eat like this all afternoon? Wow, wow..."

A mysterious female voice also came.

She seemed stunned too.

"Don't worry, there will be more explosions later."

Atio preached to the mysterious woman in a conceited manner.

They had only watched the first half of the date so far, and Thalia's riding skills hadn't been revealed yet.

"But Sister Yifa, is it really okay for your sister and your daughter to compete for men?"

Etiou turned to Epatia, who seemed to be smiling carelessly, and asked.

At this time, Lan Qi and Talia subconsciously rushed towards the director's office.

We must prevent Yifa and the others from seeing the scene of holding and feeding them!

"It's okay, she's actually my sworn sister. My sister really wants to be my daughter now, geez!"

Ifatiya still leaned back on the sofa and smiled.

However, at this time, the door to the supervisor's office had been opened.

This spacious office of about 100 square meters has two front and rear doors. The floor is made of oak wood that is hundreds of years old and is inlaid with a Poisson-style pattern. On the right focus point is a mahogany desk with a diameter of about two meters. An antique oil lamp forged from pure brass. Except for the kraft paper documents waiting to be signed, there is no one in front of the desk.

Next to a floor-standing reading lamp made of colored glass, three very different women sit on the sofa.

They all stared blankly at the door that was suddenly opened.

After opening the door, Lanci and Talia looked at the three people in the office in confusion.

Etiou's waist-length silver-white hair, as usual, falls smoothly down her side like a waterfall, and her aqua blue eyes are clear and gentle.

Ifatiya just stopped laughing and patting her legs.

In addition, there was an extraordinary-looking woman beside Ifatiya.

Even in a non-combat state, she maintains a serious, steady, restrained and restrained temperament. Her eyes reveal a hint of playfulness and thoughtfulness, but when she is relaxing on the sofa, her brows relax slightly, showing a bit of softness and calmness.

Her upright sitting posture and tall figure all demonstrate her good upbringing and self-discipline.

The moonlight coming in from the window slanted on her, reflecting her fair complexion, deep facial features, and smooth black hair. Perhaps she was the most beautiful person here.

But when she saw Lan Qi and Tata suddenly burst into the door, her eyes gradually became filled with the urge to escape.

At this time, everyone present seemed to have ten thousand thoughts in their hearts.

Time seems to have stood still.

Lanci and Talia stared at the strange and mysterious black-haired woman. They were now afraid that outsiders would see the entire last date between him and Talia.

"Yifa, why do you say I am a sworn sister?"

But Thalia was more concerned about another issue.

The words she accidentally heard made it too late for her to think about other things.

"this…"

Ifatia moved her position on the sofa, trying to use her body to block Lanqi's view of the black-haired noble woman. She didn't know how to immediately tell Thalia that she was actually picked up by the Demon King. Another orphan of the new king of Nine Seals.

They should have been enemies in nature at the beginning, but they became sisters later by accident, and she was accidentally tamed and became a spoiled princess who gave up revenge.

Ifatiya felt more and more guilty.

But at this time, she could no longer care about herself. What was more important was protecting the dark-haired noble woman behind her.

Atio also tried to reduce his presence to avoid attracting their attention. He took advantage of this moment to quickly reach for the remote control and turn off the picture that was still playing.

Finally, Ifatiya gritted her teeth and prepared to hug the black-haired woman and run away from the other door where her sister and Lan Qi were not present.

Some things can be explained later!

I can't talk to them anymore now.

Just when Ifatiya's legs were getting stronger and ready to take off.

"Is there any surprise! Atio, Tata, I'm here with the little black cat!"

Countess Rosalinda's cheerful voice sounded outside the door.

She held up the little black cat, opened the back door of the supervisor's office and jumped in.

After following her for a day, she stopped pretending this time.

I just want to reunite with Etio and Lanchitata after a long absence!

The next second.

There was a pop.

The cat fell to the ground.

Rosalinda stared blankly at the two figures huddled together on the sofa.

This woman with black hair and black eyes had a completely different appearance, seemed to be a dozen centimeters shorter in height, and had a much slimmer figure. Only her temperament was so familiar to Rosalinda that she would not admit her mistake.

When she saw the black-haired figure, she felt extremely lucky that that person was back.

Unexpectedly, Ifatiya, who had disappeared for more than ten years, also appeared.

Whenever she saw Epatia, Rosalinda just wanted to hold back her tears and run away.

For her, it would be a success if she could witness them kissing without stretching after losing.

"No, don't come and be fine..."

As she said this, her voice was trembling, as if her heart had been stabbed hard, and her tears fell down unsatisfactorily.

Rosalinda kept wiping her tears with the back of her hand and turned her head to prevent others from seeing her shameful appearance.

Atio didn't know what to do anymore and looked back and forth at a loss.

Now she had to comfort Rosalinda, turn off the video, and cover for Sister Ifatia.

In the end, in this chaos, Ifatiya could only grab the black-haired noble woman and escape through the window.

Only everyone in the office was left, watching the glass of the entire floor-to-ceiling window shattering.

Then, they disappeared completely.
