The night sky was especially beautiful today. The stars in the dark night sky were scattered all over the Milky Way. The black and light intertwined with each other, setting off the bright moon in the middle of the sky.
The bright moon was especially round tonight, much bigger than usual. It hung there like a jade plate or a heavenly mirror, quietly scattering beams of warm moonlight that enveloped the entire Malin Fando.
"Let's call it a day."
Zefa picked up the cloak that had fallen to the ground and patted the dust off it as he spoke softly.
"The moonlight is really beautiful today."
"Yes, today is a good time to admire the moonlight."
Li Mu loosened his aching muscles and replied.
"Hahaha, you can go back first. I want to stay here for a while."
Looking at the moon, Zefa fell into deep thought.
Li Mu saw Zefa's expression and knew that the moonlight must have brought back memories. Old people like to reminisce about the past. Li Mu was too embarrassed to disturb him and quickly left.
whoosh
Ever since Li Mu had seen Marlin Fando from the sky, he had liked this way of looking at him. It was both a way to admire him and a way to relax.
The feeling of flying in the wind was very easy to ease one's troubled thoughts.
It is as vast as Feng Xu's wind, but I don't know where it stops. It is as if it is isolated from the world, and it has become an immortal.
These words suddenly surged into Li Mu's mind. He seemed to feel the sense of transcendence that yearned for freedom. In the boundless sky, he was alone and freely roaming, as if he owned the entire sky.
Perhaps this kind of unfettered freedom was what Roger pursued?
Li Mu's mind flashed with the hat and the man known as the Pirate King.
Forget it, forget it. Let's enjoy the present first.
Li Mu got rid of his thoughts and once again plunged into the clouds, attempting to dance with the stars and drink with the moon, circling above Malinfando without any scruples.
Under the sky, in a part of Malinfando, the dark streets were illuminated by bright lights. In a small training ground beside the street, the darkness was dispelled by bright and lit lamps. The warm yellow light shone on the scabbard on the ground and on the girl who was trying hard to wave the knife in her hand.
Peach Rabbit.
Under the light, his expression was firm and indifferent. His eyes looked at the iron chain in front of him. He gripped the saber in his hand tightly and charged at the iron chain again and again. Sparks flew from the collision between the saber and the iron, but the iron chain was only slightly damaged.
She was still continuing her journey of cutting through iron. However, for some reason, every failure made her more determined, but her heart was filled with more frustration. It was as if every failure would repeat all the previous ridicule in her heart until the next failure. It would continue until the peach rabbit lost confidence.
clang
After another failure, Peach Rabbit's calm expression finally broke down. Endless grievances and defeat appeared in her eyes. She held back the tears that were about to fall and threw the knife to the side. She hugged her leg and buried her head silently.
"Didn't I say that swordsmen shouldn't throw away their weapons?”
Like last time, Li Mu had discovered the peach rabbit very early and quietly landed beside it. He only came out when the peach rabbit gave up and said warmly.
"Why do you always appear at times like this?”
She wanted to appear in front of Li Mu with dignity. It would be best if she still had the same confident and indifferent look that she had in the past. This way, this way, she would not be hated by him, and this way, she would not feel embarrassed.
"Maybe, maybe it's because I'm Peach Rabbit's guardian angel."
The moonlight tonight was very beautiful. Looking at the peach rabbit who was holding back her tears, Li Mu's heart throbbed a little and he could not help but say this.
"A guardian angel?" The peach rabbit raised its head, its red eyes filled with doubt.
Li Mu approached her and tapped her nose.
"Yes, Paladin,"
Peach Rabbit's face was instantly dyed red, and her heart started beating faster. Although she did not know what a guardian angel meant, Peach Rabbit could roughly guess what it meant from Li Mu's words.
Thinking of this, the peach rabbit found it even harder to suppress her heart. She could only say in a panic,
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Mu looked at the broken knives and shook his head.
In Tao Tu's current state, if she didn't untie the knot in her heart, it would be useless no matter how much she tried.
So he said warmly,
"Let's take a walk together, Gion."
Gion was Tao Tu's real name. Tao Tu was just her code name in the navy. For some reason, when she heard Li Mu call her by her real name, Tao Tu felt very strange. She felt very happy but did not want to show it. Looking at Li Mu's big hand, she hesitated for a moment and reached out her hand.
Holding the peach rabbit's fair and slightly cold hand, Li Mu felt a little restless, but he could not show it.
The two of them held hands like a couple as they strolled around the streets of Malinfando. Li Mu said something funny while observing the rabbit's expression. The rabbit was in a passive position, following Li Mu's rhythm. Sometimes, it would be amused by Li Mu's jokes and smile shyly.
The two of them walked to a small bridge. From here, the full moon in the sky was more obvious and bright.
The two of them faced the moonlight. Li Mu finally asked,
"Why does Gion want to cut the iron so badly?”
" A swordsman who can't cut through metal is a useless swordsman," Peach Rabbit said crisply.
" Of course," Peach Rabbit answered matter-of-factly.
"Then why do you want to be a useful swordsman?”
"Uh... This was... This is because…" Hearing this, the peach rabbit lowered its head. It was a little at a loss, as if it had never thought about this question.
The peach rabbit's expression kept changing. After a long time, she whispered,
"I don't want to disappoint Aunt Crane."
Aunt Crane? It should be the Chief of Staff of the Navy Headquarters, Lieutenant General He.
As expected, the knot in Tao Tu's heart originated from her.
Li Mu turned sideways and used his other hand to stroke the peach rabbit's head, then asked warmly,
"Can you tell me what you're afraid of?”
The peach rabbit fell silent again. No one had ever asked her this before.
Even Tea Dolphin, who had been pursuing her, was always concerned about whether she was injured or bullied. It seemed that Aunt Crane had the same thoughts. Every time she took a break, she would remind her to be careful and to do her best.
But, but, this was not what Peach Rabbit wanted. From the moment Aunt Crane handed Gold Biluo to Peach Rabbit, she knew that her fate was not ordinary.
Looking at the silent Tao Tu, Li Mu quickly said,
"It's okay if you don't say it."
"I... My parents have been gone since I was young."
The peach rabbit, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
When Li Mu heard this, he held her hand tightly and pretended to listen.
