"This compensation is really awesome. There are girls and rewards.”
Next, we returned to Liuli. This was a small island country in the east on the other side of the distant ocean. The season returned to spring, and the flowers bloomed. It was the evening of the same day.
Jiucheng's house was in a corner of a quiet residential area in the western part of the capital. Most of Liuli's female classmates were daughters of viscounts and nobles. They tried hard to pull Liuli into their small circle every day. However, although the family that Jiucheng Liuli came from was a martial arts family with a long history, they did not have a noble title.
The Jiucheng family's house was an ancient Wu family building, with pitch-black roof tiles and a rough door. On the huge doorpost hung a mighty door plate with the words "Jiucheng" written by his father wholeheartedly with a brush.
"Phew…"
Azurite couldn't help but sigh when she recalled the western-style bungalow, porcelain plates, and the cute furniture called " ArtDeco " that she fell in love with when she visited the viscount's daughter's house.
(
This house was exactly like her father and brother. It was rough, huge, and full of oppression. Pfft, I really hope our family is also ArtDeco…)
As she thought about it and remembered that she had to discuss her future today, Liu Li pulled her thoughts back. To borrow his father's words, it was to "tighten one's belt".
Azurite opened the sliding door at the entrance, took off her straw sandals, and stepped into the long corridor of the Wu family's mansion, which was already dark even though it was dusk…
Suddenly, a completely different thing from this world appeared. It was a pitch-black, squarish face full of beard.
"Woo!?"
Liu Li was like a hen in a farmhouse whose neck was being strangled, making a strange sound. The burly man with a beard of unknown identity heard the strange sound and looked around before lowering his head. He saw Azurite in the distance below, fair and elegant like a clear Azurite human figure. It was a Japanese puppet show, and it was a fake loli in her teens…)
Guwa-opened his mouth and spoke in a loud voice that shook the air.
"I've been disrespectful!"
" Waaa
Azurite let out a dying cry and could not help but jump up. The back of his head hit the wall of the corridor, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy. Although the burly man was dumbfounded by her appearance, he seemed to find it quite interesting. He couldn't help but lean forward and shout,"Ahahahaha!"”He laughed out loud.
Azurite was really shocked. Upon closer inspection, the burly man was wearing a shiny military cap with a class label, a thick khaki cloak, and a Japanese sword hanging from his waist. He was dressed like an Imperial Army officer commonly seen on the streets. Although he looked similar to his father and brother, he was two sizes bigger than them. His fierce beard did not look like a normal person at all, and he was not as good-looking as a normal person.
"Uh, uh, I'll take my leave first!"
The frightened Azurite finally returned to normal. After saying that, she ran along the corridor, wanting to get as far away from him as possible. She quickly ran away.
"Marry that person just now…?”
After a few moments…
In her father's study, Azurite, who was kneeling on the tatami with one foot, couldn't help but scream.
The silent father twirled his mustache like an elite officer. He thought for a moment and took out a fan from his pocket.”He knocked on Azurite's knee.
"It hurts!"
"A young girl actually knelt on one foot on the tatami in front of her father. Sit properly!"
"Idiot! I hate Daddy the most!"
Azurite immediately replied. Her father looked surprised and whispered to the side,
"Strange…If it was Yimi, he would definitely be obedient. I don't understand…I still don't understand this child…"
"What?"
"Don't be so agitated. Isn't that ruining that beautiful face? It's rare for you to look like your mother…"
“……”
"Aiya, calm down and listen to me. They should have met in the corridor just now, right? He was Martial Artist Xiao Lu. Do you still remember? He was Tabor's best friend when he was at the N.C.O.”
As the head of the Jiucheng family, a soldier of the Empire who held an important position in the army and had to keep quiet even when a crying child heard his name, he peeked at his daughter's expression in fear. Azurite pouted and remained silent with a dissatisfied expression.
"Hello, Liuli…? Azurite? I don't understand your expression…"
This was like knowing one's father through one's son. He was completely like Hisashi Izumi, who did not understand the heart of a young girl.
All kinds of painful memories flashed through Liu Li's mind like a dazzling lantern.
When she was young, she studied with her cute younger brother, Ichiya.(Don't worry, Ruri will definitely be a member of Night Moon Fantasy in the future. Writing Hisashi Ichiya was a compliment before it was suppressed.)）。However, his big brother Tabor, who was ten years older and tall and reckless, and his classmates often destroyed such a peaceful daily life that was like a paradise.
When they were students, they would gather in their eldest brother's room every night to drink and argue fiercely about the future of this country. Ikumi would just walk down the corridor and throw him around with what he thought was a loving gesture. In the end, he would even fall to the ground and get injured. After midnight, they would still sing and cry side by side while they were drunk. They would also say some obscene words and laugh. Even Liu Li often broke out in hives because she could not stand the loud noise at night.
Once upon a time,"Oh! This was Tai Bo's sister. Aiya, so cute." Someone picked her up and rubbed her head. Liu Li couldn't help but shout,""Annoying!" That person was also punched in the back by Big Brother.
After the flashback in her mind ended, Liu Li tried her best to suppress the feeling of dizziness and said shakily,"
"I…I can't marry someone who's ten years older than me and I don't even know him…?”
"However, the other party is very sincere.”
"What?!"
"I heard that Tai Bo made an agreement with him. If my sister doesn't have a husband, he will marry my sister to him. Tai Bo also said that he was afraid that he would dislike this wild girl, but she also said that it was completely fine, so Tai Bo planned to settle this matter before she changed her mind. Liuli, you're already seventeen years old. You can get married now. She should take advantage of this opportunity to marry whoever she wanted. Ah, I remember that Kuan said the same thing.”
Kuan was her second brother. Although he was tall and sturdy, his interest was in inventions. He was a little strange. He was also in the room at the back, conducting experiments using electricity. The strange sounds of explosions, the smell of burning, and the sound of intense coughing often reached the ears of Liu Li and the others in the study.
"Dad, dad…"
Azurite stood up on the tatami. His black hair was dancing in the wind due to the anger and sadness that he had nowhere to vent. His father's mustache was also affected and began to sway.
Azurite declined politely with a trembling expression.
"I, I…actually, someone asked me if I wanted to become a teacher at a girls 'school today. In the new era, there must be many things to learn and teach others…"
His father sniggered.
"Girls don't have to think too much. I'll go to school to help you reject this matter.”
Tears welled up in the corners of Azurite's eyes, and her voice trembled with anger and grief."
"I don't want to listen to my father or brother who decide on other people's marriage without asking for their opinion…!”
In order to hide her tears, Azurite couldn't help but pick up a stone inscription. However, her anger suddenly suppressed her sadness.
"Waah!"
He threw out the bookends. The thick and heavy dictionary that was originally supported by the bookends fell to the ground.
"Hey! Have you had enough, this crazy horse! It hurts!"
Ignoring her father's cry, Azurite rushed out of the study.
That night-
Azurite sat alone in front of the desk, tears streaming down her face. In the big house in the middle of the Wu clan's residence, his father and elder brother were entertaining guests on the martial artist path. They seemed to be deciding on Liuli's marriage. They even kept saying things like," I'll leave Liuli to you,"" You have to discipline her well,"" Women have to show off their might," and so on.
Azurite held the pen with trembling hands and wrote a long letter to Yimi.
"To Imi
How are you? I'm your sister! Right, right, let me tell you, Father is really too much. Her brother and the others were also too much. How could they go overboard…"
The more he wrote, the more unwilling he felt. He began to write down the ins and outs of the matter.
Just as she was writing about whether she could become a teacher at a girls 'school, she suddenly remembered that Yimi was currently in Europe. If she really became a teacher, of course she would want to wear a dress.
" I want three white cotton shirts…I want one with a cute collar! Also, a Scottish plaid collar, dark brown leather shoes, embroidered socks, and a glass fountain pen. Of course, he couldn't lack ink. Uh, and…'
He started to write down a list of things that he wanted to ask Yimi to help him buy.
Thinking of those beautiful and cute things, he finally calmed down.
Then, from the cute thing, she remembered the letter from Ichiya that said,"I have a girlfriend." Since she had asked him to buy so many things, she should send something over. Therefore, she decided to find the beautiful aqua blue kimono that she used to wear and send it over.
(I remember that it should be kept in the warehouse…and the belt of the cherry blossom belt.) Err…)
Azurite walked along the dark corridor and opened the sliding door of the warehouse.”The light bulb lit up. Just as he tiptoed and reached out to the cabinet, the warehouse suddenly darkened.
A huge figure blocked the light from the small light bulb. The burly man with a full beard was Martial Artist Xiao Lu. The huge shadow covered the sky and the earth as it closed in on Azurite. Azurite's body was stiff from fear, but Warrior Xiaolu smiled and said,"
"This?"
"Uh, I don't need your help. I can get it myself…"
Just as she was about to refuse, Musashi Koji reached out and took off his kimono. Azurite thanked him unwillingly.
"Thank you…"
"You're welcome!"
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His gaze fell on the aqua blue kimono in Azurite's hand, and he whispered," Ah!”After that, he said,
"Miss Liuli, that, kimono…"
"What's wrong?"
"No, no. Nothing…nothing happened."
For some reason, Warrior Xiao Lu's bearded face turned red. He then left the warehouse in a hurry and strode into the corridor.
------
--
This was a foreign country on the other side of the ocean, the Kingdom of Suval in Western Europe.
In the solemn school, a black figure suddenly flashed across the empty square. This figure was none other than the Night Moon Illusion that she had planned to buy after knowing what Jiucheng Ruri wanted. Now that Night Moon Illusion had so many attributes, at least ordinary people would definitely not be able to defeat him.
When he arrived at the shop, Night Moon took a deep breath. Even if Night Moon had a physique that was better than ordinary people, running so far would still tire him out.
"Is anyone here?"
"Yes, yes. What would you like to order, young man?”
An old woman in her sixties or seventies walked out of the house.
"I want three white cotton shirts…with cute collars! Also, Scottish plaid collars, dark brown leather shoes with decorative tips, embroidered socks, and glass reinforced plastic. If you have it, please give it to me."
"Alright, wait a moment."
" Hmm…The white shirt has a cute collar, and these are embroidered socks…" The old lady read out the names as she picked up the things she wanted. She seemed to be old…Alright, she was already over 60…
"A total of 100 gold coins."
Ye Yuehuan took everything and handed the gold coins to the old lady.
"Alright, here you go."
…………
"System, can you teleport me to the vicinity of Jiucheng Liuli?”
"Yes, but player 9527 needs to pay 3 summoning coins to the system.”
" Alright, System. You're the boss, you're awesome…"
"Whoosh." There was no one left on the spot. The clouds in the sky were still moving slowly, and the wind gently blew a few leaves on the ground away. Meanwhile, Ye Yuehuan had already arrived at a department store in Japan.
I am the dividing line
The Matsuyama Department Store was located on the side of the main road with many beech trees. It was popular among gentlemen and ladies in the Imperial Capital because of its complete range of goods and luxurious decor.
That weekend, in order to relax, Liu Li asked a classmate, who was also an innocent noble daughter, to go shopping together.
Liu Li and the noble lady walked into the department store hand in hand after she asked her attendant to wait in front of the department store. The fashionable shop assistants with short hair and dresses kept showing off new designs of stationery and accessories.
The two people who were happily looking at these things suddenly heard,"Eh, you are?”the voice of a man. Azurite looked up and saw a handsome young man standing in front of her.
Just as she was in a daze, the young man said,
"I'm Kira, do you still remember? It was really a coincidence that they could meet twice in a week!”
"Ah…"
"It's rare to meet a beauty, but unfortunately, I have something urgent to do now. What a pity!"
He muttered regretfully and then quickly left.
"Miss Liuli, who was that just now?”
"Well, I don't know him either…"
A shop assistant noticed Azurite, who had her head tilted, and came over to greet her."
"The hall on the top floor is displaying precious works of art from China. If it's convenient for the two ladies, do you want to go and take a look?”
Azurite and her classmate looked at each other. Let's go and take a look. So the two of them took the elevator and headed to the lobby on the top floor.
The hall was neatly lined with clothes, furniture, huge pots, and so on. The higher-ups of the department store noticed the figure of the noble's daughter and hurriedly approached and bowed respectfully. Azurite and the noble's daughter were strolling in the hall. It was said that every item here was a national treasure, and the price was astronomical.
"It's really amazing. Ah, eh…that's?"
Azurite, who was muttering to herself as she turned around, was also speechless.
Because the noble's daughter bumped into the big pot, the pot also rolled down.
The big pot and the noble's daughter fell down together. Azurite's motor nerves were very good to begin with. Although he didn't know what to do for a moment, he immediately decided to ignore Big Pot. He kicked the floor and jumped towards the heavily injured student who was about to fall to the ground, hugging her tightly with both hands.
"Azurite!"
The absent-minded noble daughter let out a grateful cry.
There was a slight "clang" sound behind him.
Azurite looked back with trepidation and saw that the big pot had broken into two.
(No way!?)
After looking around, she realized that they were covered by the clothes on display, and the people in the hall could not see them. Azurite quickly helped her up, and she said,"What, what should I do?"”She picked up the broken pot and put it back to its original position, then put it back together.
At first glance, it seemed to have returned to its original state, but as long as there was a vibration, it would tremble non-stop.
(Forget about me. I definitely can't let her get involved in this matter. If the Celestial Great Pot was broken by a person of noble status, things would become very serious. He had to keep a low profile and let her escape…
Azurite pulled the noble daughter's hand and prepared to leave the pot.
(If anyone finds out, just treat it as me breaking it.) Ah-but there might be a high demand for compensation. I wonder what will happen at home…)
Seeing that the big pot seemed like it would break into two at any moment, Azurite hurriedly dragged the noble daughter, whose legs were weak, towards the exit of the hall.
When they reached the first floor of the department store, Liu Li finally heaved a sigh of relief when the frightened noble daughter got into the car prepared by her entourage.
It was dusk just now, but now the sky was completely dark. Azurite, who was standing in the night wind, heard footsteps running toward her.
He turned around and saw that it was the handsome young man again, Kira, and he was carrying a large piece of luggage wrapped in a cloth. Just as she was thinking that this person had bought quite a lot of things, Kira also noticed Ruri. He raised a hand to greet her, then hurriedly left across the zebra crossing.
There was a commotion behind him. Azurite, who was concerned, turned around and heard a whisper that seemed to have happened. She couldn't help but be shocked and pricked up her ears.
(Could it be that the matter with the pot has been discovered?）
In the end…
" I heard that strange thieves have appeared."
Azurite was surprised.
(Okay, I don't think so.)
"I heard that the black-caped bandit appeared and disappeared in the air.”
What, what's going on?
As if it had nothing to do with her, Azurite was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly heard the words "pot…" Azurite hurriedly rushed into the crowd,"
"May I ask what's wrong with the pot?"
After Azurite and the others left, the lights in the hall on the top floor suddenly dimmed, and then the black-caped bandit appeared. The thief who stole the Celestial Great Pot did not care about the guards at all. He left through the window and climbed up to the roof.
Then, he waved his cape and flew up, disappearing into the night sky…
(What's going on?)
Azurite tilted her head and left the department store.
(Flying from the roof into the night sky was not something an ordinary person could do. Although he had stolen the teapot, it was already broken. Could it be that we broke the teapot before the strange thief stole it? (Oh…)
Liu Li, who was deep in thought, bumped into the person she didn't want to meet the most on the small road beside the department store. The burly, bearded army officer was called Martial Artist Xiao Lu…
"Aiya, Miss Liuli."
Martial Artist Xiaolu greeted him happily, but Azurite put on a stern face.
Stars appeared in the night sky, and the cool wind blew Liu Li's long black hair. Martial Artist Xiao Lu seemed to feel a little dazzled, and the eyes on his bearded face narrowed. The curtain hanging on the wall of the department store also danced with Liu Li's hair.
"What a fortuitous encounter. Are you here to buy something?"
Although Azurite wanted to leave immediately, she was still very concerned about the problem that occupied her mind. Therefore, she asked Warrior Xiaolu,"
"I heard that there were strange thieves in the Songshan Department Store. It's just like a novel. Don't you find it interesting?”
"Strange thief? A novel? Hahaha, how boring."
Warrior Xiaolu revealed a carefree smile. His tone was very similar to that of his father and brother, which made Liu Li furious. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Warrior Xiaolu asked,"
"What's wrong? Why was she still the same? She got angry the moment she saw him.”
"None of your business!"
Azurite, who turned around, couldn't help but shout. Then, she lowered her head and continued,
"Yes, Mr. Koji. I don't know what father and brother said, but I can't marry you now.”
When she did not hear a reply, she secretly looked up and saw Martial Artist Xiaolu's undisguised displeasure. (What an easy-to-understand expression...) Just as she was thinking this-
"What, what happened…?”
"What happened? That…Ah, right, I already have a boyfriend. We have a good relationship. He originally planned to go to my house to propose marriage a week later, but…”
"You, said, boyfriend! Kiss?"
Martial Artist Xiao Lu said these words word by word. It was as if he was angry, unwilling, and helpless.
"Ah, actually…"
Azurite hesitated for a moment before she made up her mind and said something that she didn't even know she was blushing,"
"Actually, he's still a student, the same age as my brother. Even so, to me, he's a very charming person. He has a lot of mysteries that I can't forget. So no matter what my father and brother say, I can't marry Koji the Warrior now because I only like him now.”
After saying that, Liu Li felt that she was too embarrassed to face anyone. A traditional young lady like her had been taught traditional etiquette and the reserved behavior of a girl since she was young. However, this bold statement was completely like she would not marry anyone. One could imagine the stimulation it gave her.
“……”
Warrior Xiaolu was silent.
He might have had enough of me, Liu Li thought. In order to hide her timidity, she suddenly extended her right hand to shake hands.
"That's what happened, Mr. Koji.”
”……”
At this time, it was already
(Aiya…?)
His huge body and beard, as well as the two black eyes on his face that seemed familiar, were silently looking down at Azurite.
The Warrior Xiaolu, who had been staring at her, suddenly turned around without saying a word. The back of the man who was more muscular and broad than his father and brother was wearing an army khaki coat that was making rough grinding sounds.
"Uh, that…Mr. Koji the Warrior…?”
The martial artist didn't even turn around when Azurite called out to him. He just walked along the path without saying anything. Azurite could only stare blankly at the departing figure.
And in the shadows, there was a person holding a vase in the style of a Chinese dynasty. Was it Ye Yuehuan…
A pale moon appeared in the night sky.
It was two days later that Martial Artist Xiao Lu visited Jiucheng's house. Warrior Xiaolu didn't even look at Azurite, who was suspicious of this matter. He went straight into her father's study and chatted with her father for a long time.
(What is it…?)
Azurite was still very concerned, so she pricked up her ears in the corridor, but she couldn't hear anything.
The door finally opened, and Warrior Xiaolu came out alone. Azurite, who was eavesdropping in the corridor, jumped up in fright. However, Warrior Xiaolu only glanced at him lightly, bowed indifferently, and walked forward.
Azurite noticed that he was a little strange.
He was wearing his usual army uniform and a Japanese sword tied to his waist.
The thumb of his right hand was bleeding for some reason.
"Um, you're bleeding…!"
"Ah…it's fine. This small matter is not a big deal.”
After saying this, Martial Artist Koji left Jiucheng's house.
That night, Liu Li was called to the study by her father. In a heavy atmosphere, his father told Azurite that Warrior Koji had taken the initiative to cancel the marriage.
"Humph! It would be best if your so-called boyfriend could come and propose marriage as soon as possible. Otherwise, I wouldn't have an unfilial daughter like you.”
After hearing her father's words, Azurite left the study. They walked along the dark corridor.
(This martial artist Xiao Lu is a bastard. What should I do now? Where am I going to find a boyfriend to propose marriage?)）
In the next chapter, he watched Night Moon's loli return, and then it was the battle between his girlfriend and wife. (Laughter!)
