Eighth Crown

Chapter 790: After All the Dust Has Settled

morning.

The sun's rays shone through the gaps in the curtains, shaking slightly in front of her eyes again and again, disturbing her peaceful sleep and forcing her to open her eyes.

"..."

When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling, and the bed beneath me was not familiar either.

The two were stunned for a moment, unable to react. After a while, the memory of last night flooded into her mind, making her suddenly come back to her senses.

She sat up from the bed, ignoring the short black hair hanging around her ears, but looked down at her body.

She was still wearing the same kimono she wore when she went out last night. She had not changed her clothes. Only her shoes and socks were taken off and placed beside the bed.

"..."

After being silent for a while, she got up from the bed, put on her shoes and socks, and walked out of the room.

This seems to be a villa. It looks very spacious and bright, with many rooms on the same floor.

After walking along the stairs to the first floor, she immediately saw the boy with broken hair sitting on the sofa, wondering what he was thinking.

"woke up?"

Liu Xia was also alarmed by her footsteps. She raised her head and looked over. Her attention also shifted from the weapon book of the legendary bow to the two rituals.

"How are you? Are you feeling well?"

After everything settled, [Two Ritual] disappeared again, and the two rituals were still in a coma, so Liu Xia took her back to the room and did not wake up until this moment.

"……should be no problem."

The two of them were silent for a while, answered Liu Xia's question, and then frowned slightly, as if a little unsure, "Did I pass out last night?"

"right."

Liu Xia nodded calmly, "The battle last night was too fierce. You couldn't bear it on the way, so you fainted. I brought you back."

"Yeah……"

The two of them hesitated for a moment, but still raised their steps and came to the opposite side of Liu Xia. However, they did not sit down, but lowered their heads and looked at Liu Xia with some confusion.

"What happened last night? Who was that guy?"

Although she hated this guy a little, it was true that he had saved her, and she wanted to know what the fight last night was about that was so shattering.

"Who knows."

Liu Xia shrugged and did not directly answer the question of the two rituals. "That guy obviously came for you, and I just saved you at the right time."

In fact, it was because she knew through the runes that she was being targeted, so she took the initiative to help, but it was obviously not the right place to talk about this.

Otherwise, if she threw away the Philosopher's Stone fragment in a fit of anger, Lucia would have to think of other ways to spy on her actions.

"Where's that guy?"

There was a troubled look on the faces of the two rituals, and they were obviously very resistant to being involved in such inexplicable things.

"Being able to escape unscathed at least means that the guy has been repelled, right?"

If she had really been repelled, it would be a good thing for her. At least in the short term, she wouldn't have to worry about this annoying thing happening again.

"died."

Liu Xia gave the answer very calmly, without any sign of being shaken by the word death in her tone.

"die……"

The two men paused slightly, and a look of astonishment appeared on their faces for a moment. Then her eyes when looking at Liu Xia became inexplicably complicated, "Did you... kill him?"

"That's right."

Liu Xia nodded, but then changed the topic, "But we can't let down our guard because of this. For that guy, death is just a temporary repulsion, and he will come back sooner or later."

"...Wait a minute, you mean-"

The expressions on Liang Xiang's faces were almost tense, and a very strange look appeared on their delicate faces, "Can he still be resurrected, and then run in front of me again?"

"You're right."

Liu Xia paused.

As if he knew that the two rituals were difficult to believe, he spoke again: "Resurrection is not a difficult thing. I can now do something that is equivalent to resurrection in the eyes of ordinary people."

Being beheaded and not dying, and then growing a new head, is equivalent to resurrection in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Ha...what happened to this world?"

The two of them lowered their heads slightly, and their tense shoulders relaxed. Then they raised their hands and patted their heads, with a look of repulsion and disgust on their faces.

"When can even the only life be played with casually..."

After all, she had never been exposed to this kind of thing before, so it was normal for her to be a little hard to accept for a while.

Moreover, Liu Xia still clearly remembered that this girl was not able to kill the serial killer who had framed her before, but would hesitate instead.

Although she seems to be very proficient in killing people on the surface, in essence, she is not the kind of person who ignores life. On the contrary, she may attach great importance to the life that humans only have once in their lifetime.

That’s why I felt like “I can play with even my only life”.

"I've already made breakfast."

Liu Xia stood up from the sofa and walked directly into the kitchen without waiting for Liang Li's refusal.

"I'll take you back after breakfast. I've already informed your uncle and aunt."

The two men frowned slightly.

She was just about to refuse out loud as she was accustomed to, but the scene where he arrived at the scene in time last night and rescued her from the enemy suddenly appeared in her mind.

Then the words of rejection that I originally planned to say suddenly became unspeakable.

She looked at the figure of the young man who was busy serving dishes in the kitchen. After a moment of hesitation, she still did not say those words.

"Forget it, it's just breakfast anyway."

She shook her head, looked around the living room, and then walked into the bathroom, wanting to wash her face and wash away the remaining sleepiness in her mind.

But after entering the bathroom, her steps suddenly stopped.

"Four sets of equipment?"

There are four sets of utensils in the bathroom, and they are in four distinct colors: white, blue, yellow, and pink. It can be seen at a glance that four people are using it. There are still residual water stains in the mouthwash cup.

"Is there anyone living here with him?"

The two men looked at these sets of utensils in surprise, then turned around and looked at Liu Xia in the kitchen, feeling a little weird in their hearts.

Is it male or female?

Could it be that he came over to pursue her while he was living with a woman?

But she came to her senses immediately.

"Why do I want this? It has nothing to do with me anyway!"

She curled her lips in displeasure, then randomly selected a white towel, filled it with some cold water, and wiped her face.

By the way, the white towel is used by Lucia herself.
