I really only stop

Lu Xi didn't struggle with this obviously teasing speech, and just laughed it off:

"However, you just said [come over again]? I have been dealing with business in Osiris before, so I didn't wander around?"

"No way?"

Hearing Lu Xi's words, the swordsman adventurer frowned:

"I just saw you bargaining with the antique dealer over there. At that time, I was still wondering. Anyone who lives in Rhine City doesn't know that the merchant is selling fake goods—could it be that I read it wrong? "

"Tch, I can be dazzled in broad daylight."

Smiling and punching the swordsman adventurer, Lu Xi looked down at the bag in his hand:

"Bought so many dishes, it seems that I want to make a good meal for my wife when I go home."

"Ahaha, I'm fine with a sword in both hands. Cooking is really useless. I'm only responsible for shopping, and I'll leave the rest to her."

Because the relationship is very close, the swordsman adventurer is not shy:

"Master Lu, you are surrounded by Ms. Nana and the others every day, so you can eat different dishes every day, right?"

"It's true that the taste is different, but it wasn't made by them."

Recalling the daily hard work of the chef doll, Lu Xi shook his head:

"However, you are really quick. You can't even imagine that after you announced that you had chased the lady magician in the team, that guy Cupid sneaked up and cried to me how long he was single."

"Tch, who made him dare not say that he has an unrequited love for Miss OL?"

Speaking of this, the swordsman-adventurer and Lu Xi showed a smile at the same time:

"As for his youthful energy, I was anxious when I watched it from the side. Master Lu also helped him."

"I don't care about this kind of thing, it's better for him to work hard on his own."

Looking up at the sky, Lu Xi raised the cloth bag in his hand:

"It's almost dinner time, I won't bother you, go back quickly."

"Well, next time we have time to drink together."

"It's a word."

……

Saying goodbye to the swordsman he met by chance, Lu Xi frowned slightly as he stared at the cloth bag in his hand.

Just now he said 'I seem to have seen me', what's going on?

Although he himself admits that there is a possibility of misreading, but I think this possibility is really small.

Unlike most adventurers, I usually wear an earth T-shirt or coat from the system department store. The style is quite unique compared to the clothes in this world. Under such circumstances, is it really possible to get it wrong?

"...strange thing."

Here I can't think of anything even if I keep thinking about it, I shook my head slightly to hide my doubts in my heart, and Lu Xi continued to walk towards home.

Let's just pay attention.

Chapter 506 Leisurely leisurely hot pot time

"Nai Nai! One more round! Just one round, okay? I beg you!!!"

"Although I want to continue to play with Celica, but I really have other work to do at hand. Let's talk about it next time, okay?"

As soon as he opened the door of the house, Lu Xi, who walked into the entrance, heard some two such conversations coming from the living room.

Well, it is estimated that a certain Zorika is pestering Nana to play chess again.

As for Celica's chess game, to be honest, it's quite bad.

Not to mention regretting every move, she also created her own "combo mode" that can definitely make the opponent's nose crooked, making three consecutive moves in one round, is this still worth it?

Because of this, Lu Xi and Yu Xiya will intentionally avoid Celica who is holding a chessboard and blinking excitedly at this side, and only Nana, who is kind enough to be bad at rejecting others, will agree to come with her One game——and then, the soft-hearted girl will often be tightly entangled by Celica as she is now, and she can't even get away from drinking water.

"Cerica is really addicted to vegetables."

Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Xi, who walked to Celica's side, waved a phantom of Nova:

"Leave Nana alone for now, and let Nova play with you first, she will never get bored or protest your weird rules?"

With the computing power of the center of the big sky city, it is easier than taking a breath to completely suppress a Zorika on this small chessboard.Even if Selika made four moves in one go and infinite repentance, she would definitely be beaten by Nova to the point that even Osiris didn't know her.

Little Lika, you should be taught a good lesson for your arrogant chess-playing technique that makes your teeth itch.

"Really? I want to play with Nova!"

Not seeing the sinister intentions hidden under Lu Xi's gentle smile, Celica just nodded vigorously:

"I will definitely win! At that time, I will challenge Nana again!"

"Well, come on!"

Watching the bouncing Celica and Nova avatars walking away side by side, the soft girl let out a little sigh of relief, and turned to look at Lu Xi:

"Thanks to Youlu Xi for helping me out, you don't even know that just now Celica came up with a terrible rule called [Secret Technique Continuous Time Rewind Technique], which can instantly make all of your own, even eliminated The chess pieces all returned to their original places, woo! My head hurts when I think about it now!"

"To deal with that rambunctious monster, it would be good to just lift the chessboard and hit her on the head with a straight fist."

Looking at the tired and headache that the soft girl rarely showed with some novelty, Lu Xi shook his head:

"Or you just ignore Laipilika just like Yushia and me. Playing chess with that kind of guy is just making yourself guilty."

"But, after all, Celica [actively] came to play with me..."

Speaking of this, Nana was a little embarrassed to cover most of her face with her tool bag, only revealing a pair of watery eyes, which faintly revealed joy:

"Actually, because I don't dare to talk to others, I have always looked forward to someone approaching me proactively and offering an invitation to 'let's play together'. Although Celica's rules are indeed a headache sometimes, but, just [Being able to play with other people] This thing in itself makes me happy, as for winning or losing, I'm not as obsessed as others."

What a cute and poor child!Why does my soft girl always show subtle cuteness in such strange things!

hateful!Now I can only invite her!

Pressing her hands on Nana's shoulders, looking into her eyes seriously, Lu Xi said word by word:

"Just right, now I'm going to start preparing dinner tonight, if Nana is free, would you like to come [with me]?"

"Eh?"

The soft girl was stunned for a moment, and the moment she realized what Lu Xi wanted to express, a brilliant and extremely clear smile bloomed on the girl's face:

"Hmm! Please let me help!"

--------------

"Grumble rumble."

"Is this the dinner Lu Xi made?"

I heard that Lu Xi personally cooks tonight, and Yuxia, who put on dignified clothes as if attending a state banquet, sat down at the dinner table early, but when she saw what he brought, the girl couldn't help being a little dazed:

"This is... [soup]? There seems to be some kind of vegetable floating in it that I've never seen before?"

It's no wonder that Miss Saint's reaction was so subtle. From her perspective and everyone's point of view except Lu Xi, what Lu Xi brought was indeed too strange.

A large pot with an open flame underneath.

When she was in the palace, the princess had indeed seen this kind of dish served while being heated. The advantage of this method is that it can prevent the dishes from getting cold due to being out in the open for too long—however, most of those dishes are palm-sized delicate dishes However, the pot in Lu Xi's hand, which was as big as an ordinary person's arms, was far beyond her previous impressions.

"It's not just soup, is it?"

Unlike Yuxia, Miss Celica, who has never been entangled in the cooking method of food, only cares about the meat and deliciousness, can't wait to look into the pot, but is disappointed to find that there is only clear soup and a few sporadic pieces of meat that she has never seen before. vegetable:

"No, no, no! You can't get enough to eat like this! I protest, Ruoweixi is really fooling around! She even gave me boiled vegetables as a perfunctor!"

"I really want you to eat boiled vegetables in clear water for several days in a row. Do you dare to be picky eaters like you are now? Don't worry, vegetables and meat are here."

Flicking his finger on Zelika's forehead, Lu Xi waved his hand out of thin air, and fresh green vegetables and bright meat rolls filled the dining table:

"Here, put the vegetables and meat into the pot by yourself, and when it's cooked, dip it in this sauce and eat it—this is the cooking method called [Hot Pot]."

"Just to add, I tasted it in a small pot just now, it's really delicious~"

Holding the chef doll Cook in both hands, Nana, who spent a pleasant time preparing dinner with Lu Xi, showed a sweet smile:

"And Cook also recognized this cooking method. According to him, [hot pot] does not require any cooking skills at all. You only need to prepare a pot, pour some water, prepare the dipping ingredients in advance, and the rest is easy. Although the shabu-shabu and shabu-shabu dishes are not as good as the chef’s careful cooking, the super good atmosphere during the hot pot can fully make up for it, and it is definitely one of the best dishes that everyone eats together~”

Cooking skills have reached the level of Cook. In addition to caring about the quality of the ingredients and cooking techniques, the surrounding environmental factors have also entered the scope of consideration. There is no doubt that it tastes hot and inexplicably warm. The hot pot made the chef doll also an eye-opener.

"—Okay, keep your praise in your heart first, and it's not too late to say it after you're full."

Seeing that Celica obviously couldn't control her saliva, Lu Xi smiled slightly at Yuxia, whose expression was obviously a little moved:

"Then, move your chopsticks!"

"I'm ready to eat!!!"

With Celica's cheers, this dish made with the cooking techniques from far away was served on Lu Xi's table for the first time.

Hot pot, the hot, warm white steam, can make people feel warm and warm no matter where it is.

Through the steam, the four people at the dining table suddenly looked at each other, and then found some warm curves on each other's faces.

Come to think of it, that's what it feels like to be called "home".

PS: Autumn is just right, let’s eat hot pot at night (→)

Chapter 507 Living Specimen

It was late at night, and after enjoying a pleasant hot pot meal, the tired people fell asleep early.

Unlike the previous huge manor that not only buried the Osiris activation device underground, but was also connected to a dangerous sealed space somewhere, after the Sky City incident, the new house that Lu Xi bought was slightly smaller, but it was very Safety.With the [-] powerful scriptures of Miss Saintess and the remote protection of the sky city Osiris floating in the outskirts, it is not easy for even the legendary demon king to enter here.

However, fortresses that are strong on the outside are often breached [inside].

Between half-dream and half-awake, Lu Xi, who was lying peacefully on the bed, only felt that he fell backward suddenly, and the gravity produced a subtle deflection-in simple terms, he felt that he stood up.

This feeling is not unfamiliar. It is generally the way to be summoned to the sealed space by the big sister when I am awake. The question now is, why do I come back here again?

Since his brain was still in a chaotic state, Lu Xi didn't open his eyes immediately, but subconsciously thought about this question.

Could it be that Celica sneaked into my bed again?

... There is no reason, she and brother Mamayi have also become familiar, logically speaking, there should be nothing that can scare her into my room again?

【——】

The short syllables that sounded like the softest tune when humming a song sounded in Lu Xi's ears, obviously without any urging meaning, but it made him unconsciously open his eyes.

- Something is wrong!

The moment he saw the surrounding environment clearly, Lu Xi was ready to start and stop at any time.

pitch black.

An unsettling darkness.

It is not the abyss and the road of bones as expected. Looking around, all that catches the eyes is a piece of pure black, which seems to stretch out endlessly to the surroundings.If he was not very sure about his ability to control his body, Lu Xi would even doubt whether he had really opened his eyes.

There is a saying that goes well, 'When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you'.

As if aware that Lu Xi was looking around, a ray of light suddenly emerged and stretched under his feet, and finally opened up a long and narrow path of light in the darkness in front of his eyes.

'system? '

【I am here. 】

Before moving forward, Lu Xi tried to call the system first, and the latter's response sounded directly in Lu Xi's mind—there was no light screen, which was the same as the situation in the sealed space of Tiamat.

It seems that the same as when I was summoned by my big sister, I am just like a [spiritual body], and my body should still lie on the bed and sleep with peace of mind.

After confirming that he could at least contact the Moyu system, relying on his time-stop ability, the daring Lu Xi, who is highly skilled in art, took a deep breath and walked straight on the small path forward.

It's not pure recklessness, but a judgment combined with reasoning.

The summoning method is similar to that of the big sister, and it can bypass all protections and pull me here directly while I am sleeping.

If I guessed correctly, the owner of this space should be——
