When an outsider touches a place very close to a vital part like the throat, instinct will always prompt people to lower their heads subconsciously and hide their vital parts.

However, it may be because she no longer has any defenses against Xue Kui in her heart, or maybe she has formed a habit of spending too much time on the other party recently, Ying did not have a stress response to Xue Kui's touch.

Before realizing why Yasha made such a move, a subtle soft touch bloomed on Ying's cheeks.

Surprised, shy, delighted...

Complicated emotions erupted in the girl's mind, causing her to immediately lower her head and cover her mouth that was about to be pierced by the screams with her hands.

"Someone once taught me that kissing someone on the cheek is a sign of liking. Are you satisfied with the answer?"

Satisfied, so satisfied, so satisfied that my head is about to burn!

Ying stretched out a hand and waved it towards Xue Kui, until she grabbed Xue Kui's outstretched arm, and barely maintained her precarious body.

Where did this bastard learn this thing from?The contrast between such an act and the behavior of a straight man in normal times is too great, right?

Could it be that he was really unkind and fell in love with a scumbag?

After finally slowing down, after staring at Xuekui for a long time, Ying finally gave up exploring how this guy learned this way.

"I'm a traveler from the starry sky, so I can't spend my whole life with you like an ordinary person. Even so, are you willing to invite me to spend the next festival together?"

After hearing what Xue Kui said before, Ying also thought about it. The sadness of parting is doomed, so don't affect the good memories now.

Remembering each other, isn't it what she hoped for at the beginning?

"Compared with a long-lived existence like mine, what is the difference between a mortal's life and a moment? I can even see the parting of life and death, so what are you talking about?"

lifespan...

Ying wants to say that although she is a human being, she has actually existed for many years, and it may not be certain that she will live longer than the other party in the future.

But it's not too late to talk about this kind of thing when you invite the other party to go to Xinghai with you?

As for this invitation, let's wait until the time when we are about to part.

What if I get rejected and it affects my next good mood?

"What are you thinking about?"

In the double image of Xue Kui's waving palm in front of her eyes, Ying came to her senses, and immediately showed a bright smile and hugged the other's arm.

"It's okay! We should be considered a couple now, right?"

"If that's what a human partner is called, then it is."

"Then it's okay to do some things that couples would do?"

"What do couples... do?"

A moment later, Xue Kui looked at the blond girl who was sleeping peacefully on top of him, and couldn't help reaching out to touch her face which was rising and falling slightly.

Soft and warm, just like her bright blonde hair, completely different from her essentially cold self.

Admiring the girl curled up on him, Xue Kui put his free hand on his chest.

It's been a long time, this feeling of being touched.

......

In the next few days, the desert mercenaries originally hired by Chalid finally returned to Sumeru City with the lost materials, and they were formally included in the jurisdiction of the Academy.

For this escort team transformed from desert mercenaries, everyone had a lot of disputes over its naming.

The original name of the Gilded Brigade must not be used anymore. The fact that there are other groups named the Gilded Brigade in the desert is enough to bring this name to an end.

As for the new name, if it is related to the desert hometown of the mercenaries, those sages in the Order Academy are not satisfied, but if it wants to be associated with the rain forest or the King of the Great Mercy Tree, the desert mercenaries who still have a trace of faith in their hearts Disagree again.

In the end, Xue Kui, who was so annoyed by the two groups, counted the number of desert mercenaries, and named them "30-member group" directly based on their numbers.

Although this name is simple and simple, but because the two have nothing to do with each other, and because it was proposed by Xumi Shenzi (the Lord of the Pure Land), it was accepted by both parties very easily.

After that, the residents of Sumeru City had been waiting for a long time to celebrate the Flower God's Birthday, which was the return of the Great Merciful Tree King.

"Were the Flower God's birthdays so lively in the past?"

Ying looked at the dense street vendors, pulled La Xuekui's clothes, and asked questions.

"How do I know? I haven't been to this festival before."

Xue Kui, who was in a leisurely state of shopping, had a somewhat lazy voice.

"But it should be better than before. Buyer's comeback is not a small matter, and the Holy Order has also intervened. After all, this time the flower god's birthday is different from the past. The purpose of getting the people out of the panic without gods as soon as possible."

"Oh~"

Ying nodded with a vague understanding, but was immediately attracted by the emptiness in the middle of the street.

Obviously, both sides of the street are crowded with people, but the road in the middle is deserted. Everyone would rather be with others than occupy the open space over there.

"Is it forbidden to stand in the middle of the road?"

"That's the space that people purposely leave for the floats."

The voice that emerged from behind the two of them answered Xue Kui's question that he couldn't answer.

The two turned around and saw the red-haired woman walking towards them with a smile.

"Hey, the relationship between the two of you seems to have taken a step further."

Jessica looked at the arms of the two together, with a meaningful smile on her face.

Ying scratched her head, smiled foolishly, and immediately looked past Jessica, looking at the person behind her who shouldn't have appeared on the street.

"Why is Chalid able to come out now?"

Looking at the silent man following Jessica, Ying angrily questioned the scholar who had done her a lot.

Although Chalid's fault was not serious and he escaped from prison, he is currently in a period of observation that restricts his personal freedom. He can only act in the Holy Order, and logically speaking, he cannot appear on the streets.

"Do you think those rules and regulations can really control everyone? Then you are quite naive."

Chalid flashed a provocative smile, but in the next second Jessica wiped the smile off his face.

"Oh, you mean him? Because this year's Flower God's birthday is quite special, the applications submitted to the sages to go out were quickly approved."

Xue Kui looked at Jessica, then at Zha Lide, thought for a while, and suddenly realized.

"Could it be that you two are the same as us?"

The straight-forward question made Charlie cough dryly.

Even if ordinary people see something about this kind of thing, they won't ask directly in person, right?

Unlike Chalid whose calm expression was broken, Jessica shook her head while maintaining a calm smile.

"Thanks to some unworthy guy, we're not."

Ying looked at Chalid who was full of embarrassment, let out a "hee", grinned wickedly, and specially amplified her voice.

"Ah~ I can't even say that I like such a simple thing. Who the hell is so mean?"

After speaking, he leaned hard on Xue Kui's body. Although Xue Kui was a little puzzled, he still took it.

"Yes~ Who is it?"

Jessica, who was a little bit resentful of Chalid's inaction, did not get used to him, but cooperated with Ying and condemned him.

At this moment, the situation on the field changed in vain.

Seeing the provocative gaze cast on him by the blond girl, Chalid clenched his fists.

Why on earth did this guy who had to rely on the potion as an excuse to face his true heart dare to jump in his face like this?

22. Flora's Birthday

"Then I won't bother you, but don't forget about the party at night~"

After beckoning to Xue Kui and the others, Jessica led Chalid, who dared not speak out, and disappeared into the crowd.

"By the way, how is Mr. Noel now? Even Chalid has been released, why haven't we seen him?"

"Noel...Although the effect of the medicine on him has passed, he is still in the observation period. On such an important day, it is estimated that such an unstable factor as him will not be released. ...But you can still see him at the dinner party in the evening."

"That's it...hey! Look over there!"

Not knowing what she saw, Ying, who became a little excited, pulled the corner of La Xuekui's clothes vigorously, and stretched out her finger to the street in the distance.

Xue Kui looked at the place pointed by the other party, and a truck surrounded by flowers was slowly approaching them, pulled by two pack animals.

If you look carefully, you can also see a figure on the truck constantly twisting its body.

"That's probably the float that Sister Jessica mentioned."

The celebratory ribbons fluttered in the air, rendering a festive atmosphere. At the same time, there were many small objects floating in the air.

Xue Kui imitated the appearance of the people in front of him, stretched out his hand towards the sky, and took a small ball wrapped in colored paper.

"What is what?"

Ying stuck to Xue Kui's body, poked her head out to look at the small ball in his hand.

Xue Kui rubbed the small ball in his hand, realized what was inside, and rubbed the colored paper away, a fresh and fragrant sweet smell permeated the air.

"It's sugar, do you want to eat it?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Ah~"

Looking at the candy handed to her mouth, Ying was a little dazed, but after thinking about it carefully, the two of them are now a couple, so she opened her mouth without hesitation and took the candy from the other's fingers.

"Um...apple flavored."

After flicking the tip of her tongue, Ying could tell what kind of fruit the sweetness in her mouth came from.

Turning to look at Xue Kui beside her, Ying found that the other party was sipping liquid from a small bottle.

"What are you drinking?"

Xue Kui stopped drinking, put the bottle a little farther away, and smiled at the blond girl.

"It's something a child can't taste."

"...Who is the child?"

Although I don't know the exact age of the other party, but when she was swimming in the sea of ​​stars, maybe Xue Kui was still a baby.

Unconvinced, Ying stretched out her hand to grab the small bottle in Xuekui's hand. Xuekui subconsciously stretched out her arm, grabbing Ying who was empty, and tiptoed to reach for the bottle.

"Obviously, when you were at Pulifa's place before, you didn't grab that pear juice from me. I want to see that what you have is a good thing, and it's worth hiding like this."

When it comes to Dundun Peach Juice, when she thinks that their fate seems to be opened by that juice, Ying can't help being distracted for a moment. When she regains consciousness, she finds that she is hanging on Xue Kui's body and suddenly loses her focus.

"Be careful..."

Seeing the blond girl falling down with no strength under her feet, Xue Kui naturally reacted and caught her.

However, when he looked down at the reckless girl, Xue Kui found that she was grinning slyly.

Xue Kuixu shook his palm, and the small bottle that was originally on it had disappeared.

In Xue Kui's helpless eyes, the girl lying in his arms showed a triumphant expression, as if enjoying some spoils, she drank the liquid in the small bottle, and then her face turned red instantly.

"This, this is... cough cough cough!"

Seeing the golden head buried in his body and coughing continuously, Xue Kui calmly commented on the "drink" in the small bottle.

"The drinks on Xumi's side are generally sweet, but after tasting it, you will find that the alcohol content is not very low."

"Ahem...why didn't you say it earlier!"

Ying raised her head, a few small teardrops appeared in the corners of her eyes due to a physiological reaction, but she didn't know whether the blush on her face was caused by a severe cough or was affected by alcohol.

Looking at Ying who pouted, Xue Kui nodded her forehead.

"I have already warned you that this is not something that children can taste."

"There are adults who can't drink, right?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it."

Amidst the noise, the two watched the float leave Sumeru City for Ormos Port, walked around the lively streets, and bid farewell to the sun who was equally dedicated to the festival.
