Chapter 692: Lanqi, Let's Eat First

The window was covered with red leaves so thin that they were almost transparent, allowing the morning sunlight to penetrate softly and warmly into the room.

The whole room was filled with a refreshing wood fragrance.

The cool breeze from the balcony gently caressed his body, and there was a slight knock on the door outside. His eyebrows trembled slightly and his eyes opened unconsciously.

What attracted his attention was not the Palier furniture in the room.

But the face reflected in the mirror not far away, and the cold emerald green eyes could not hide a little confused sleepiness.

It was like wanting to keep people away from him while appearing harmless.

He sat up and supported the bed, looking around.

Soon, his eyes stopped, as if the slight movement of him getting up caught the attention of the person knocking on the door outside the bedroom.

The figure with gray hair and golden eyes opened the door, held the door handle, and looked at him.

Her long hair was cleverly tied into a bun at the back of her head, which was both orderly and elegant. The slightly scattered hair gently hung on the side of her cheek.

"Are you awake?"

Talia asked.

She was still wearing an apron and seemed to be making breakfast.

"Awake."

Lanqi was a little dazed and blinked.

"Breakfast will be ready in a while."

Talia nodded and closed the bedroom door.

It was just an ordinary day to wake up, but he always felt that getting up today was a little different from the past, but he couldn't tell where the difference was.

Maybe he was confused because of sleep.

After all, the last thing he remembered was that he had fought with Perlman and Inoan in succession.

He was so tired that he fell asleep on the roof of the church.

He didn't know how long he slept before waking up.

Presumably, Talia and Boss Cat brought him back later. This familiar bedroom was prepared by Countess Rosalinda. He stayed in the room of the Platinum Palace Spirit Hotel for so many days.

He moved his body, pushed the quilt aside, hung his feet, and gently placed them on the soft carpet.

"Resurrection!"

He rubbed his eyes, stretched hard, and a sense of relaxation spread throughout his body.

Lanqi stood up from the bed.

After washing up, he left the master bedroom and came to the living room.

The breeze gently caressed the leaves outside the window, and birds were chirping on the treetops not far away.

A series of crisp notes floated along the windowsill into the hotel suite, lingering in the entire pleasant morning light.

There was actually a fragrance in the living room.

He looked at the dining table and saw Talia was moving neatly back and forth between the living room and the integrated kitchen on one side.

Today's breakfast is shrimp and wild mushroom cream stew noodles, black pepper cheese fried chicken.

Lanqi slowly walked to the dining table and sat down.

Talia brought the last fig cereal yogurt salad and placed it in front of him.

"I'm not dreaming..."

Lan Qi looked up at Talia like this, and always felt a little bit like a different world.

After thinking carefully, he found that after taking Talia back to the dormitory, the house has always been very clean. Talia can easily tidy up the housework that the great poet never does.

In addition, after she really started to cook and take care of herself.

Lan Qi had to admit a fact that he didn't want to believe-Talia seemed to be a good wife and mother.

It's just that her temper has the nature of the demons, and her life has been too comfortable for more than a year, so even if she can cook, she usually doesn't pay attention.

"Have you ever thought about why my house is always so clean."

Talia sat at the dining table, seemed to understand his thoughts, and asked Lan Qi.

"..."

Lan Qi couldn't answer.

Every time he went to Talia's house to find her to learn card making, her living environment had never been messy, not only clean, but also very exquisite.

This single, unemployed, gray-haired girl seemed to have a particularly good living habit. I always heard Hyperion say that being roommates with Tata was a very happy thing.

It turned out to be true.

"Hurry up and eat, today is Wednesday."

Talia looked at the stunned Lanqi and reminded him.

"Wednesday... Have I slept for almost two days?"

Lanqi said in astonishment, picking up the fork.

Then he had to go to work today.

Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday were all days he worked at Count Baptiste's house.

And according to this, he was absent from work all day on Monday!

He had never made any mistakes in his work, but he made such an irreparable mistake!

"You two meows, why do you work first..."

The cat boss jumped from the stool to the table and lay on the side looking at the two of them.

Now not only Lanqi, but even Tata was talking about work.

The two people at the table seemed to have no idea what to communicate all of a sudden, and the atmosphere became much quieter.

Just seeing each other, they seemed to think of the last memory of getting along with each other - the two of them were chatting on the roof, and they actually leaned against each other.

According to the relationship between the two of them, they shouldn't be so close.

The more he thought about the distance at that time, the touch of each other, and the sound of heartbeat and pulse, the more awkward it felt.

Lanqi could only reach out his fork to the food and put it into his mouth.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

The white porcelain bowl contains golden braised noodles exuding the fragrance of butter. The surface is dotted with pink shrimps and brown wild mushrooms. The cream sauce blends with the braised noodles. When you scoop up the first forkful and put it into your mouth, you will be filled with excitement. The smoothness instantly melted on the tip of the tongue, and the sweet and chewy shrimps and mellow and juicy wild mushrooms bloomed between the teeth. The taste was as smooth as velvet, and his taste buds were instantly addicted.

Then it was no longer his taste buds that made the decision, it was as if his empty stomach was constantly sending signals to his brain, telling him to eat faster.

The golden and crispy skin of the black pepper cheese fried chicken is like bright gold foil, garnished with crushed black pepper and shredded cheese. When you take a bite, the crispy skin makes a sound, and the tender chicken inside is filled with oil and wrapped in the crispy skin. The slight spiciness of black pepper and the richness of cheese are intertwined.

Lan Qi gradually came to understand Hyperion's life a little bit.

To a certain extent, this kind of care was something he couldn't give Hyperion.

Just when Lan Qi was eating and clearing his mind.

"La la la la la, the lovely flower capital Parrieux, my favorite flower capital~eat it, eat it~"

A light humming sound was accompanied by walking and dancing steps, and a figure walked from the balcony to the living room.

Because the voice was so familiar, but the tone was slightly different, Lan Qi subconsciously looked at Thalia at the table, and then looked up towards the balcony.

"Hi!"

The figure also had long gray hair, but it was tied casually into a side ponytail with a ribbon. A few strands of broken hair were playfully fluttering in the breeze, and his blue eyes were like a clear autumn sky.

She wore a dark sweater and slim-cut trousers, and brown boots wrapped her slender legs from her knees to her ankles.

"Hey, why are there two towers?"

Lan Qi stopped forking, feeling like he was really dreaming this time.

"Meow……"

The cat boss felt that Lan Qi was a little sleepy. This was obviously Lan Fu, but Lan Qi seemed to be thinking of Tata, so the default in his mind was Tata.

"I'm back!"

The beloved poet blinked his left eye at Lan Qi, and made horizontal scissor hands on his face.

"Oh, why are you back?"

Lan Qi continued to eat breakfast very calmly, looking at her while chewing and asked.

"..."

"You feel so good using her, you think I'm superfluous, don't you?"

The poet of great love stopped immediately, looked at Lan Qi, and made her laugh angrily for a moment.

She thought Lan Qi would be touched by her return.

Unexpectedly, this guy seemed to think it didn't matter whether she was there or not.

"..."

However.

These words embarrassed Lanci and Talia and removed each other from their sight.

To be honest, these two people live together every day and can hear each other's thoughts 24 hours a day, which is really outrageous.

But it was precisely because of this that nearly a month passed.

It was a little awkward at first, but now they are getting used to it.

From Lan Qi's point of view, if the natal card is [Crazy Love Demon King], a super powerful three-body person, [Great Love Poet] does seem a bit primitive.

"Oh...could it be that during this period, the relationship between the two of you was really...?"

The poet covered his mouth in surprise and took a deep breath.

"Nothing happened!"

Lanci and Thalia looked at her and clarified in unison.

The exaggerated expression of the great poet is deliberately messing with their mentality.

Now they all feel that the poet is a bit annoying.

Laofu is better.

When the poet of great love heard this, his eyes showed a cunning look, and he leaned down and stared at the two of them, looking back and forth.

After a while, she stopped paying attention to the two of them, walked to the door of the room and picked up the small puzzle-cut handbag.

"I don't care, I want to travel in Huadu, let's go!"

The poet of great love had already put on his sunglasses, raised his hair in a beautiful dress, and waved goodbye to the two of them.

"come home early."

Thalia ordered while looking in the direction of the entrance.

"no problem."

The beloved poet nodded and left impatiently.

Lan Qi held the fork, looked at the disappearing figure of the great love poet and then looked at Thalia.

Logically speaking, the great poet should listen to his instructions.

Now I feel like I can bypass him as the holder.

"After you fell asleep that day, I probably felt that I could separate from her. It may be that as long as I use my power excessively, the fusion will be overloaded, and we can separate. It may also be that the time is long enough."

Thalia calculated that she had been fused with the Great Love Poet for about a month.

When Lan Qi fell asleep, because he never locked the poet, he ran out immediately after she and the poet separated.

"She's too noisy and might disturb you when you sleep. I'll let her go out to play and just go home before eight o'clock. Anyway, she doesn't consume much mana and spends very little money."

Thalia explained.

"..."

Lan Qi didn't know what to say.

"Do you think I'm too strict?"

Thalia asked expressionlessly.

"No, it's great of you to keep her under control."

Lan Qi shook his head and sighed.

In the future, you can consider using Talia's house as a nursery, and Lanfu can be fostered with her.

After finishing the topic started by the great love poet, the two fell into silence again.

Lanci ate quietly, while Thalia sat quietly aside.

Lan Qi now knew what was different today.

It turned out that Thalia's voice was no longer heard.

In the past, Talia might have called him directly in her heart. Today, it was much quieter, and her soul didn't feel connected to anything strange.

They had almost finished eating the shrimp and mushroom cream stew noodles and black pepper cheese fried chicken.

Just as Lanqi was a little thirsty and was about to pick up the water cup.

His eyes were attracted by the fig cereal yogurt salad with its refreshing color and healthy moisture.

The freshly picked fig slices were neatly arranged, yellow and green, with a smooth surface, surrounded by crispy and delicious cereal flakes, and the snow-white yogurt was shining.

Lanqi swallowed his saliva, picked up a spoon to taste, and the sweetness of the figs, the crunch of the cereal, and the sweet and sour yogurt instantly mixed together in his mouth.

It was beyond expectations, quite perfect.

The chef obviously designed this breakfast carefully.

But Lanqi frowned more and more as he ate.

"What's wrong, don't you like it?"

Talia noticed his expression and asked.

"No, it's delicious. I've never had such a delicious breakfast."

Lan Qi shook his head and thanked him.

But why, he was in a coma for about two days, but he only felt a little hungry instead of very hungry?

Maybe he was too hungry to feel anything.

Lan Qi decided not to think about this unimportant question anymore.

"..."

Talia looked away.

Actually, it was.

She secretly ate food with Lan Qi's body.

It was definitely not because she wanted to use Lan Qi's body to eat, but because she felt that Lan Qi might sleep for a long time and was worried that his stomach would be hungry, so she helped him eat a meal before she separated from Lan Fu.

Lan Qi should not find out, he was sleeping very deeply.

Talia tried it once and found out that when Lan Qi was sleeping, she could actually take control of his body in the possession state, and he couldn't even find it.

The clock went half a circle.

Lan Qi also finished his breakfast.

He put down his fork and seemed to be hesitating.

After a long time.

He looked at Talia and had something to say, but didn't know what to say.

"Thank you."

After looking at her for a while, he finally looked at Talia and expressed his feelings.

Talia just looked at him in confusion.

"Why are you looking at me?"

She asked.

"Nothing."

Lanqi looked away.

He suddenly realized that he didn't say anything just now, but conveyed his thoughts.

He was used to communicating with Talia, but he was not used to it after they separated.

Now he couldn't communicate with Talia through mental thoughts.

"What did you want to tell me just now?"

Talia asked.

She was a little curious.

Lanqi didn't seem to be as damned as usual just now, and it was an expression she had never seen before.

"Nothing."

Lanqi shook his head.

He wouldn't say thank you to Talia several times in a row, just saying it in his heart just now was enough.

It's okay to joke with her at ordinary times.

It always feels a bit weird to say thank you to her seriously.

In short, I can't say it.

It's all because I didn't adapt to it for a while, and I can't communicate with this old Deng mentally. I'm not used to it.

"What does Lao Deng mean?"

Talia hesitated for a while and read his mind.

When she was curious, she could always hear a little voice occasionally.

But after she got used to being able to listen to Lanqi's inner voice directly, she stopped using this ability. Whatever he thought, she could catch him at the first time.

Her mind reading is still unstable at present. Except for the successful reading of the enemy's fighting intention in the battle two days ago, now she can only read fragments intermittently.

Maybe because of the Great Demon Mark on Lanqi, reading Lanqi's mind is much more difficult than reading other targets.

"In our hometown, the slang is that people in the Northeast respect the elderly more. When they see an older person, they will say "Lao Deng" from the bottom of their hearts to express that "the old man is immortal and immortal."

Lanqi explained to her very seriously.

"..."

Talia nodded.

It turns out that Lao Deng is a compliment.

But isn't this still scolding her? !

The blood vessels on the back of Talia's hand began to tremble.

Ranchi suddenly felt that part of the sunlight was blocked, and he was subconsciously startled when Talia stood up.

"Oh."

Talia didn't want to pay attention to him, so she raised her hand but didn't hit him.

"?"

Ranchi covered his head, and after waiting for a long time, he found that Talia was not angry.

He half opened one eye and observed Talia.

Talia took a deep breath, and seemed to resist the urge to press him to the ground and beat him.

She seemed to be particularly tolerant of herself today, with a hint of tolerance, and I don't know what she was planning in her heart.

After simply cleaning up the table, Talia took two fruits and put them on the table, and took off her apron.

"Then today, I have an appointment to see Rosalinda, and lunch and dinner will be taken care of by each of us. If you need me to help you make breakfast tomorrow, just tell me a little in advance."

She walked to the door and prepared to leave Ranchi's hotel room.

No longer needing to worry about Ranchi's mana consumption, she also regained her freedom and no longer had to keep Ranchi with her all the time.

"Please say hello to Countess Rosalinda for me."

Lanqi waved.

Talia nodded slightly, and with the sound of the door opening and closing, only Lanqi and the cat boss were left in the living room.

Lanqi breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the clock on the wall and felt that it was almost time to go to Count Baptiste's house for work, so he could sit down for a while before setting off.

The count's mansion has been damaged, so he probably has to go to the count's old mansion on the south bank of Parrieux, but fortunately, the hotel he lives in now is more convenient to go everywhere.

He looked out the window quietly.

Although after a long sleep, his body was slightly sore and his brain was much clearer, he still felt a little awake.

"Are you still thinking about Inoan, meow?"

Boss Cat felt that Lan Qi had been deep in thought.

"No, I won't remember her."

Lan Qi lowered his eyes and shook his head.

In a sense, only Inoan would choose death, and Bishop of Destruction Ivanos would choose to live.

Therefore, he only defeated a mediocre maid, not the kind of enemy who needed to be impressed by him at all.

"That's fine, don't pay tribute to her."

Boss Cat lay down at the table and said softly,

"After you fell asleep, I went to recover Inoan's body, Meow, and then cremated her with Tata, and asked Etiou to help us bury her in Posen Demon Realm."

It continued.

The corpse of an eighth-level powerhouse can easily attract covetous attention.

In addition to being used as high-end materials for some very evil magic tools, it can also be made into puppets or used for biological experiments. Guys like the Bishop of Decay may be eyeing the corpses of the deceased. It is best to cremate them as soon as possible. choose.

"That's it."

Lan Qi said to himself, looking out of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows.

In the bustling area of ​​North Shore District 2, the Platinum Palace Spirit Hotel.

Whether it is the hillside heights, the Selina River, the Flower Sea Park, as well as the streets, temples, and squares, you can have a clear view of them all.

It seems that the repair work in Huadu has been very rapid in the past two days, and there are not many signs of dilapidation now.

The Posen Kingdom is already famous in the eastern region for its highly developed magic engineering, and with Huadu's maximum manpower and material resources, I am afraid that it will be basically repaired in a while.

"There are no people at many famous scenic spots today. As long as you go there, it may be a world for two. It's really suitable for a date."

Boss Cat, like Lan Qi, looked out the window and said.

"Who should I date? Boss Cat, do you want to date me?"

Lan Qi touched the little black cat with one hand and asked with an interested smile.

"And Tata!"

Boss Cat ignored Lan Qi's joke and said.

It was clear that Tata had been sitting there for so long, but Lan Qi just ate his breakfast with peace of mind and was not moved at all. He looked so much like Tata!

"But I have to work, and she has an appointment with Rosalinda. Besides, it's not fun for the two of us to date."

Lan Qi picked up the apple left by Talia, took a bite, and said calmly.

"Obviously she held you that day, and you slept peacefully in her arms."

Boss Cat stood up anxiously and added another sentence.

"puff."

Lan Qi almost choked and quickly picked up the water glass and took a few sips.

"Lan Qi, admit it, her embrace makes you feel at ease, doesn't her temperature make you care?"

The cat boss continued to get closer and stared at Lan Qi's face and asked.

"Nothing is impossible!"

Lan Qi glared at the cat boss and began to eat the apple with his head lowered. He couldn't restore the elegant pace before. He finished the apple in a few bites. Then he stood up, washed his hands, put on his coat and got ready to go out.

"Lan Qimiao, you won't be fooled by me."

Boss Cat followed, his limbs walking briskly.

It felt that Lan Qi's behavior was very similar to how it was when it first met Lan Qi, even more green than that.

"I didn't expect that a guy like you, who looks like Lao Deng, would be so anthropomorphic."

A man and a cat walked out of the door and walked in the corridor on the sixth floor of the hotel.

Boss Cat has been with Lan Qi for so long, and he has gradually regarded Lan Qi as an old man. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he is actually still very young.

Lan Qi stopped and looked back.

He knelt down and picked it up.

"Boss Cat, the word Lao Deng is actually inappropriate and not rigorous when used this way."

Lan Qi looked at Boss Cat and explained seriously.

He felt that Boss Cat was thinking of something very, very rude.

"Meow, isn't Lao Deng a compliment?"

Boss Cat's eyes widened in surprise.

"..."

Lan Qi couldn't explain it, so he could only purse his lips and keep silent to let the cat boss understand.

"So Lan Qi, am I right? You care about Tata now, very much."

Boss Cat asked with innocent eyes, returning to the previous question.

"She made me feel at ease and concerned. It didn't matter at all. I was just too tired at the time."

Lan Qi raised his head and took a deep breath, seemingly speechless.

He stared at the cat boss with a 100% smile and said no to him calmly and calmly.
