Chapter 495: The Road Is Smooth

Late at night, Hearthstone Tavern.

Joshua lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling with his eyes open.

Joshua had a rare insomnia tonight.

As for the reason, it was probably because Qiao Xiu should have been sitting in the study to continue writing and maintaining the magic net program at this time.

But at the request of Ciri and Tailin, Joshua gave himself a day off today. After walking around Nolan during the day, he returned to his room at night and lay down on the bed early to get ready for sleep.

It's a pity that now Qiao Xiu's mind is full of the operation of the three newly compiled websites.

Qiao Xiu is not a god. Although the World Tree gave Qiao Xiu extraordinary thinking ability and programming ability comparable to a large team, the natural enemy of programmers, bugs, still exists.

"Are there seven new transactions?"

In the end, Qiao Xiu couldn't help but opened the magic net, and browsed the latest situation on the magic net shopping.

The "Devil Alchemy Workshop" opened by the Prophet added four new transactions in one afternoon, and the contents of the transactions were all the scales of sinful demons.

When Nolan's spellcasters discover the benefits of the sinful demon scales, the demand will definitely increase by a hundred times, so the prophet also rationally limits each person to purchase a maximum of fifteen scales.

Even if the scales of the sinful demons have been stored for hundreds of years, it is estimated that they cannot meet the needs of Nolan's spellcasters.

Just as Qiao Xiu opened the editing program and was about to further improve the magic net gold storage and magic net shopping, there was a knock on the door of Qiao Xiu's room.

"The door is unlocked." Joshua said.

The door of the room was slowly pushed open, and Ciri walked into Joshua's room slowly.

"The person in purple didn't pass the exam again?" Joshua looked at Ciri's expression, she looked a little disappointed.

"Passed, but... the physical condition of the person in purple seems to be deteriorating." Ciri said with some uncertainty as she held the arm of her right hand tightly with her left hand, "Is it because the white cat ran to Nolan Center to make a home?"

"It has nothing to do with the fact that the sacred tree took root in the Nolan Center. Its life field is still valid in the Hearthstone Tavern. How is the purple-clothed woman?" Joshua asked.

"I fell asleep, and I gave her my bed. I always thought that these sages don't need to sleep." Ciri said.

"Sages are human beings too, okay." Joshua looked at Ciri's helpless look. It seemed that she really regarded the man in purple as her mentor during this time.

After all...Herlan said that Shirley's mother left her side when she was very young.

"Come here." Qiao Xiu patted the empty seat next to his bed and said.

"What?"

Shirley froze for a moment when he heard such a direct invitation from Joshua, and the sad atmosphere just now was swept away.

"Then I'll make the floor?" Joshua asked tentatively.

After these words, Shirley came to Qiao Xiu's bed without saying a word and lay down.

Joshua also waved his hand to turn off the original crystal lamp that illuminated the whole room. The moonlight shone into the whole room through the window. Joshua lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, while the temperature that belonged to Heli came from beside him.

"Have you mentioned any magic like 'life extension' to me before?"

Ciri put her hands lightly on the quilt and also looked at the ceiling and asked Joshua in a low voice.

"That's just a joke! The person in purple knows that her lifespan is coming to an end, and I have no good way to save it, unless... that sage is willing to abandon his human identity and become an undead." Qiao Xiu said.

When Joshua said these words, Joshua could clearly feel the slight trembling of Ciri's body next to him.

Joshua directly held Ciri's cold right hand, this action made Ciri's body slightly stiff, and then Joshua turned around directly.

Shirley also turned around to face Joshua tacitly. In the darkness, Shirley's silver-gray pupils could vaguely see some crystal clear liquid.

"This is the first time I've seen you so scared."

Joshua clasped Ciri's right hand tightly with five fingers, feeling the warmth from Ciri.

"It's a shadow of childhood."

When Shirley said this sentence, Joshua could feel the strength of her holding his arm increased slightly.

"I saw my mother die in front of my own eyes." Ciri whispered.

But when Ciri was talking about such a sad topic, Joshua's other hand was stroking Ciri's smooth long hair.

This made Ciri's sad heart a little annoyed for a while. She kept shaking her head, hoping to ask for Joshua's hand, but Joshua let go of it for a while, and then stroked Ciri's cheek again. above.

"I always feel that there is no atmosphere for telling sad stories at all."

A blush had already appeared on Ciri's fair cheeks.

"Because I'm not very good at comforting things, so I can only divert your attention." Joshua stopped 'ravaging' Ciri's cheeks, put his hands on the girl's waist and then Say "Are you feeling bad now?"

"A little bit." Shirley's voice was unbelievably small.

She knew that the current atmosphere was no longer suitable for 'remembering how miserable the past was'.

"My sister confirmed something with me a few days ago." Ciri suddenly raised her head and stared at Joshua seriously.

"What's up?"

Joshua could smell the fragrance and temperature emanating from the girl's body, and the breathing rate was gradually accelerating.

"About a ceremony, it's a ceremony that every girl in the Frost Kingdom holds after confirming her sweetheart." Shirley's voice was so low that Joshua could barely hear it.

"If you don't mention it, I will almost forget that you are from the Frost Kingdom. Then what kind of ceremony is it?" Joshua asked.

"To outsiders, it's just a simple kiss, but the women in the Frost Country may have... cleanliness. For them, the first kiss will only be given to the most important person in this life."

"Uh... what if there is an accident in the middle?" Qiao Xiu asked tentatively.

"If a man betrays him, most girls in the Frost Country will kill that man, and then choose to die alone. Of course, this is just a legend my mother told me in the past."

When Ciri said this, she suddenly broke free from Joshua's tightly clasped hands, put her hands on Joshua's chest, turned over and sat on Joshua's body with ease.

At this moment, Joshua noticed that the clothes on Ciri's upper body had slipped off. Although there were some regrets, Joshua admitted that it was indeed... a pleasing scene.

Under the moonlight, Ciri gently lowered her body and whispered in Joshua's ear.

"I... know that my figure may not be the type you like, but I really plan to give you everything I have tonight. If you don't like it, you can refuse." Shirley's voice sounded a little flustered, and seemed to be angry .

Joshua didn't answer Shirley with words. Under Shirley's panicked voice, he directly hugged Shirley's slender body with his backhand and pressed her on the bed.

"Stop!" Shirley panicked when Joshua restrained his hands.

Joshua really stopped his movements as she wished and stared at Ciri.

"I'm... a little afraid of pain." Ciri said again in an inaudible voice.

"It's okay, the night is still very long, take your time." After Joshua gave this answer, Ciri never had a chance to speak.
