Chapter 1114: A Little Progress

Dinner was ice-cooked lamb.

This way of eating was taught by Ash, or rather, he mentioned that "lamb cooked with ice will taste better", and then Felix worked on it for a few days and used ice magic to assist in cooking. Compared with ordinary water boiling, it is indeed different in flavor, tender and fragrant without smelling mutton. The lamb is so fresh that the tongue almost wants to eat it, and the lamb chops fall off the bone with a light bite.

Felix also asked if it was this taste. In fact, Ash, a social animal, has never eaten ice-cooked lamb, but how can the food that the Sanctuary Magician has studied for a few days not be delicious? Not to mention ice-cooked lamb, ice-cooked Lala fat is delicious.

Although the dinner was delicious, the atmosphere was quite silent. Everyone tasted the food quietly, and only the collision of the spoon and the bowl wall was heard from time to time. In fact, chatting is not prohibited, but Ash thinks that quitting sex should be thorough, and he took the initiative to cut off unnecessary verbal communication to avoid affecting their training mood.

Now Ash only feels that he must have been tortured by the shadow sword curse and his brain is disabled, otherwise why would he take the initiative to shoot himself in the foot?

He hurriedly finished his dinner and took his plate to wash. Deda Rose said, "The bath is ready. You can use it anytime."

"Okay."

Ash responded. When he washed his plate and went to the bath on the other side of the camp, he heard laughter from behind and subconsciously quickened his pace. The bath was filled with steam. Deda Rose would dig a bath for each camp she built. The water source sometimes extracted moisture from the air and sometimes connected to groundwater. This bath was obviously connected to groundwater, and the water quality was relatively clear.

Ash first rinsed it briefly beside it, then used his toes to test the water temperature in the bath. He put his calves in when he felt it was right, slowly squatted down, and sat on the stone steps with his hands hugging his knees. The water level stayed below his collarbone.

He looked at the reflection of the lake on the water surface and laughed at himself: "It does look a bit like an unloved puppy..."

Felix did make him a little upset.

It's not that he didn't know how bad his actions were, but he felt that he was a magician with miracles. Couldn't miracles make up for all regrets and bury all mistakes? Really not. Felix only gave the simplest example and beat his hypocritical face to pieces, piercing through all his hypocrisy, beating him to pieces and bleeding.

Ash couldn't even say a word of rebuttal, because Felix herself was the best example, she was the victim of love. He knew how much she hated her father, hated him so much that she joined the Four Pillars to rebel against her father, and no miracle could mend the gap between her and her father. Ash could certainly guarantee that he would not become a father like Duke Vosloda, but how could he guarantee that Sword Princess and the others would not become mothers full of resentment? He himself was even the source of their resentment.

Some things are missed if they are missed, and some things are wrong if they are wrong.

Even if the children's affairs are too far away from them, for now, without Ash as a "contraband", their magic practice efficiency is ten times higher than before, and their tactical coordination can even be increased by a hundred times, making Ash almost feel that he is the disaster given to them by the virtual realm.

Although Ash would not be so self-deprecating as to think that they would be better off without him, he had to admit that maintaining the current relationship of "more than teammates but less than lovers" would be beneficial to everyone.

He should even give his full approval. Now they would not quarrel over emotional issues, but work together to study magic and give full play to their talents. Isn't this the magic team he has always dreamed of?

Ash thought so and did so. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to add abstinence rules and banned daily chats - he sincerely hoped that they could become better, instead of worrying about himself.

Everyone has only one life, and he doesn't want to delay them, except Vichy.

Although Ash is not interested in being a spectator of the "end", he wants to be their spectator. Watching the operators become stronger little by little is more interesting than getting stronger himself.

But even though he has achieved the justice he wanted and paid a reasonable price, Ash is not happy at all.

"No one wants them to work together to improve, and also wants them to like him wholeheartedly, right?" Ash mocked himself softly: "No? No? No one would be so wishful, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Ash was startled, turned around and saw Felix coming over with a few clothes, and quickly sank into the water, saying with a black face: "Do you have to come when I'm taking a bath?"

"Then go get your change of clothes naked next time." Felix pouted: "It seems like I really want to see it."

She turned around and found that Ash had retreated to the farthest corner of the bath, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you so scared?"

"Of course I'm afraid," Ash said faintly: "You were so aggressive today. I can't stand your second attack."

Felix was a little surprised and squatted by the pool and said, "You care so much about what I said?"

"What you said makes sense, and I can't refute it. Can I just pretend I didn't hear it?" Ash rolled his eyes: "Pay attention to me these days. If any meal is not delicious, I will take the opportunity to scold you and let you know that the dignity of the audience is inviolable."

Felix blinked, "Actually, you don't have to care too much about what I say... You are different from my father, and your future children will not be like me."

"It's hard to say."

"Ah?" Felix was stunned and blushed.

"I wouldn't be surprised at all if I had a daughter as rebellious as you." Ashudu muttered, "It would be weirder to say that they would give birth to daughters who are not rebellious..."

Except for the rebellious period of Sword Girl, which was suppressed by the heavy life, the other rebellious periods are fiercer and fiercer; the witch's rebellious period can only be ended by killing the queen; the rebellious period of Silver Lantern can only be ended by destroying the world; as for Vichy It was so amazing, Ash suspected that she still hadn't left the rebellious stage.

Felix looked at the depressed Ash, with a trace of tenderness unknowingly revealed in his brows: "Actually, if you care so much about your future children, you are already better than many people. Even if you still fail to pass, everyone will forgive you. your."

"It's too late to comfort me now. I've been bruised and bruised by your attacks." Ash said angrily.

"Then what are you going to do?" Felix asked tentatively: "Are you going to give up on the trash can from now on?"

Ash thought for a moment and said, "I plan to maintain the status quo."

"If teammates are really more suitable for us than lovers, can I still prevent them from getting better?" He straightened his arms like a cat and stretched: "I don't know about life yet, but at least now I won't Delay them. Okay, I'm done, get out quickly."

"Actually, I have to take a shower too," Felix walked to the other side and turned his back to him, "You can change your clothes."

Ash left the bath and picked up a dry towel to dry himself. As soon as he started to change clothes, he heard a rustling sound coming from behind. Just from the sound, you could imagine the scene of soft clothes sliding along smooth skin. Then there was a pop in the bath, and the blonde girl moaned like a kitten.

He didn't dare to look back and tutted: "Can't you wait for me to leave?"

"You don't look at it anyway." Felix chuckled and said, "If you don't leave, I will tell Sword Girl and the others."

"You're cruel." Ya Xiu ran away.

Felix was soaking in the spot where Ash was just now, with his whole body and mouth submerged in the water, and gurgling foam floated on the water.

"……fool."

...

...

Ash walked through the camp and happened to meet Sonia who was going back to the tent.

Just as he was about to give the suggestion of "lovers become teammates", he saw Sonia pointing to the sky, and then she walked straight into her tent, paying no attention to Ash's reaction.

Ash looked at the sky, which was as dark and chaotic as ever. He couldn't understand what Sonia meant... Could it be that they were implying that their future was gloomy?

But nothing epitomizes her attitude more than her refusal to engage in dialogue. When Ash expressed his willingness to talk, she had no intention of responding and returned to her private space.

Perhaps she has finally discovered in the past few days that love is not a necessity at all. It is easier for everyone to maintain a polite teammate relationship. In this way, Ash does not have to worry about the Shura Field, and she does not have to torture herself because of possessiveness... This is not It's good. The world where no one is injured is complete... everyone can get out of the quagmire and return to the bright road to move forward.

Ash thought as he returned to his tent and took out the Miracle Bracelet. He had been catching up on the revenge drama "The Concierge's Younger Son" these days, but today for some reason, he wanted to watch a romance drama.

"You can hug the pillow and cry secretly, or you can smoke and drink, but you just can't go to her."

"Actually, none of us were at fault, we just missed it."

Ash was bored and watched the love drama for more than three hours. Even when the screen went black, he was still in a daze. After a while, he turned on the music player and listened to those sad love songs on a loop while hugging the pillow.

It was almost time to go to bed. He turned off the light, covered his head with the quilt, and suddenly laughed to himself:

"I am actually a selfish person..."

After facing his inner unhappiness calmly, Ash relaxed, calmed down the irritability in his heart, and fell asleep peacefully.

But at this moment, he heard a slight sound of wind, which seemed to be the tent curtain being blown up. But the tent is zippered, didn't he zip it tightly?

Soon, Ash felt as if a big cat had gotten into the quilt. Just when he was so startled that he wanted to turn on the light, a figure suddenly emerged from the quilt, grabbed his hand tightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't Turn on the lights and don't talk loudly, or you'll be exposed!"

The hair exuding the fresh fragrance of shampoo fell down to Ash's face, and his soft but extremely elastic body pressed tightly against Ash's contours. Ashi was stunned when he heard this: "Sword Princess?"

"it's me."

There was no light in the darkness, and Ash could only feel her breath on his face, "Keep your voice down, I can only cut off the surveillance of the Gospel Spirits now, but if I make any noise or light, they will still attract their attention." ”

"But what are you doing here so late?"

"Don't you know? Didn't I just tell you that I would come over tonight?"

"How did you tell me?"

"I pointed upward. This means that I will come to you at 12 o'clock when they fall asleep. It turns out you didn't notice." She said, "As for why I came here so late..."

Ash just felt like he was being hugged tightly, his waist was tightly wrapped around his legs, his soft lips pecked him a few times, and then his soft tongue took the initiative to invade his territory.

A few minutes later, the only sound left in the quilt was shallow breathing. Sonia lay on top of him, nibbling his earlobe, and chuckled: "Happy birthday, Ash."

Ash was stunned.

"My, my birthday?"

"I knew that today is not your real birthday." Sonia was not surprised: "But when I asked you about your birthday, you just said today."

"April 10th, should this be a meaningful day for you?"

Ash asked stupidly: "Today is April 10th?"

Sonia: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Ash was silent for a while, then suddenly took a deep breath and hugged Sonia tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his arms.

April 10th is indeed not his birthday.

It was the first day he traveled to the world of magicians.

He was caught by the Blood Mad Hunter on the first day.

He was thrown into jail on his first day.

The first day was precarious.

That is the end of the old life and the beginning of the new life.

"It turns out it's been a year." Ash murmured softly.

"We have known each other for a year." Sonia smiled: "A year ago I was a female college student in her prime, and a year later I was a fugitive in a foreign country."

"However, a year ago I was not even a magician, but a year later I am already a demigod standing on top of the magicians." She tapped Ash's nose: "Meeting you is both a gift and a curse."

"When is your birthday?"

"You only know how to ask now? It was already over before you came to Fanxing." Sonia said angrily: "You also know that I am a village girl. Birthday celebrations are not popular in my small town. If you celebrate for me, I will It just feels awkward.”

"Then why do you want to celebrate me?"

"Because I like you."

Ash blinked, but fortunately there was no light at all, otherwise he would have been so embarrassed that he quickly changed the subject: "But aren't you guys quitting sex now? Are you like this-"

"Don't worry, I can cut off the surveillance of the gospel, and they won't find out."

"No, I mean, wouldn't it affect your state of mind if you contact me like this?"

"If neither of us quits, my mood will become bad; if we both quit, then my mood will become good; if they quit but I can have an affair, then my mood will become very, very happy. ." She kissed Ash on the cheek and said softly: "I actually regretted it a long time ago. Rehabilitation is too uncomfortable for me, otherwise I wouldn't have researched the "Cut Off Prophecy" so quickly in the past few days. method. "

Ash was startled: "When did you regret it?"

"I regretted it on the first day."

Wouldn’t that be equivalent to not quitting? ?

"Axiu, I've worked hard for you these past few days." Sonia's warm orchid breath gently blew onto Ash's face, "Although you don't need to continue to be patient, your movements should be smaller. If you attract other people's attention, That’s troublesome…”

Ash took a deep breath and used almost all his strength to suppress the thoughts in his heart. He pushed Sonia's shoulders away and said seriously: "I have carefully considered it. If the relationship will hinder your development, then I would rather we Stay in the relationship of teammates. When we have completely resolved all threats and are no longer troubled by survival, it will be too late for us to continue our relationship——"

Sonia stretched out her finger and flicked Ash's forehead hard.

"Idiot." She said, "We work hard for happiness. Why should we sacrifice our present happiness to work hard? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

"But temporarily sacrificing the beauty of the present is for the longer happiness in the future."

"We are magicians, why can't we seize both the beauty of the present and the happiness of the future?"

Ash was startled, but still shook his head: "No, it took a lot of effort for you to build trust in the team. I'm grateful for your kindness, Lady Sword, but I don't want to destroy your hard-earned stability -"

Hiss.

Hiss.

Ash blinked. There was no light in the tent at all. He could only hear the sound of the person in front of him unzipping the tent. Only then did he realize that he had barely felt Sonia's pajamas or nightgown, and that there were two long elastic legs wrapped around his waist.

Sonia seems to be wearing only a zip-up jacket, and now...

When Sonia hugged Ash into her arms, Ash hugged her waist very unsatisfactorily.

"I don't like to celebrate birthdays, and I don't know how to choose birthday gifts. There's no place to buy gifts here." There was a hint of shyness in Sonia's voice: "But it seems you are quite satisfied with the birthday gift, right?"

"Are you going to use this to test the captain?" Yaxiu said sadly and angrily: "I finally made up my mind to maintain a teammate relationship with you!"

"Leave this kind of determination to others." Sonia chuckled and said, "I just want to be your lover."

"Also, although I still insist on keeping the most precious treasure until our wedding night, tonight is your birthday, and we have been separated for so long..." She said: "We can't stop forever. Before, do you want to make the same mistake again?”

"So, I think it's time for you to...move forward a little bit."
