Having confirmed her "victory", Shana was in a good mood during the subsequent training. It was not until the end of the training, when she followed Fang Zheng back home, that Shana realized that what she had achieved before was only a "phased victory".
"Welcome back, Brother."
Fang Zheng had just opened the door when he saw Tilia coming towards him with a smile on her face.
"Dinner is ready, please prepare to eat, brother."
"oh?"
Fang Zheng was surprised to hear Tilia's words, and then he looked towards the living room, and sure enough, there was already a table full of delicious food. Although it was not Fang Zheng's favorite Chinese food, just looking at this colorful, steaming dinner was enough to whet one's appetite.
"That's great, thank you for your help, Tilia."
Looking at the dinner on the table, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. He finally drew a reliable summoning stone this time. Although Nymph was good at fine work, her cooking was unexpectedly rough, just like the product of the caveman period. Although Fang Zheng himself could cook a few specialties, they were still just average. Now the second summoning stone he got actually had a cooking talent. This alone made Fang Zheng feel that it was enough to make up for the cost.
"I am so happy to receive your praise. Please come in, brother. Tonight's dinner is wild mushroom risotto, veal slices and grilled lamb chops..."
As she spoke, Tilia smiled and looked at Shana beside Fang Zheng.
"Would the Fire Mist Warrior also like to dine with us? There are still many of them here, so if you don't mind, please come along too?"
What...
Looking at the smiling Gothic girl in front of her, Shana suddenly felt angry. The previous pride and joy of victory had long gone. Shana certainly didn't know about the Dimension Code and Soul Stone, so she didn't understand why Fang Zheng was so confident in this Red World guy. She just felt that this Red World guy was really shameless. He had only been here for less than half a day, but now he was acting like the master of the house... Humph, if you didn't know, you would really think she was Fang Zheng's sister!
Damn it, it was obviously me first!
"I……"
For a moment, Shana really wanted to leave on the pretext that she wasn't hungry, but she changed her mind in an instant. If she left, wouldn't Fang Zheng and this Red World Cultist be the only ones left here? That wouldn't do! Although it seemed that she had no intention of attacking Fang Zheng, the Red World Cultists were all very dangerous, that's right! She had to stay and keep a close eye on this Red World Cultist to prevent her from attacking Fang Zheng - yes, that's it, this was her way of repaying Fang Zheng for saving her life when she was in "Hunter"!
Thinking of this, Shana suddenly felt that her logic was smooth and flawless, so she glanced at Tilia and nodded.
"Of course I have to stay. After all, I have dinner with Fang Zheng every night."
"Really?"
After hearing Shana's answer, Tilia just smiled slightly, which made Shana feel a little discouraged. She had originally expected the girl to react to her words, but she just looked calm and said "I see", which really made Shana very unhappy.
Dinner time was quite peaceful. I have to admit that Tilia's cooking skills were really good. Fang Zheng never thought that a Red World person would be so good at cooking. And Shana didn't say a word, eating the food in front of her in big mouthfuls. But looking at her gnashing teeth, it didn't seem like she was eating, but more like she was eating people.
Really interesting.
Fang Zheng's EQ is not as low as Mu Mu's. In fact, just by looking at the smiling and calm Tilia and the full-blooded hatred on Shana's face, he guessed that the two little guys were far from being as harmonious as they seemed. Although Tilia sat silently beside him and looked like a good girl, she was using this way to tell Shana that she was the "relative" with Fang Zheng, and Shana was just an "outsider".
It's like when guests come to the house, as a younger sister, she naturally helps her brother entertain the guests, so there is no need for any extra actions to prove it. But as an "outsider", Shana must make some performances to show this.
And Shana was so angry at the moment because she didn't know what to do.
But... since it's so interesting, I'll just watch from the side.
With this thought in mind, Fang Zheng did not say much, but enjoyed his dinner while carefully observing Tilia and Shana.
“Bang.”
Finally, Shana put down the cutlery in her hand first. She stood up and hesitated for a moment, then as if she had thought of something, she cleaned up her dishes.
"I'll go wash the dishes."
"Ah, no need, just leave it there, I'll take care of it."
“That’s not necessary!”
In response to Tilia's words, Shana immediately rejected it.
"This is my bowl, I always wash it myself!"
After saying this, Shana turned around and left with her bowl and plate without looking back. Looking at Shana's back, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes.
You always wash your dishes yourself? How dare you say that? Until yesterday, I was the one washing your dishes for you. Who was the one who threw away his chopsticks after dinner and ran away? Don't tell me that your memory is only seven seconds.
But... this little guy is really a bit troublesome this time.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also glanced at Tilia. The little angel was introverted by nature and was not likely to conflict with others. But Tilia seemed to be very aggressive, although her aggression was not directed at him.
"What's the matter, Brother?"
Noticing Fang Zheng's gaze, Tilia blinked and asked with a smile. Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and picked up the teacup beside him.
"No, it's nothing, just go ahead and have fun."
It's fun anyway, so let's leave it like this for now.
For Fang Zheng, there was no change in his life.
But for Shana, she felt that her life seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Although what she did every day was still the same, Fang Zheng still took time out to teach her how to fight, and his attitude towards her had not changed at all. But for some reason, just one more person made Shana feel quite irritated. If the peaceful life before was like some kind of happy serenade, then the appearance of "someone" now was like the noise in the music, making people feel particularly uncomfortable.
Every morning during the training, Tilia would obediently pass hot water and towels to Fang Zheng, and would also prepare breakfast and clean the house. Even at school, every noon, she would bring her own lunch box to Fang Zheng with a smile on her face, and when the two of them returned home after training in the evening, what was waiting for them was the dinner that Tilia had prepared and the steaming hot bath water.
Frankly speaking, Tilia did not intervene between Shana and Fang Zheng. She looked more like an unknown behind-the-scenes worker. But for some reason, the more this happened, the angrier Shana became. She herself did not even know what she was angry about. If Tilia deliberately disturbed her and Fang Zheng's lives, or obstructed their training, Shana would still be angry. But the other party did nothing, but did everything perfectly, which made the girl completely at a loss as to how to deal with it.
I just can't stand her. That's right, it must be like this! She is a Red World person who acts according to her desires. If Fang Zheng hadn't protected her, I would have killed her with a sword!
"You really don't plan to do something?"
Finally, Alastor couldn't bear it anymore.
"What am I going to do?"
Hearing the Red World Demon King's question, Fang Zheng drank a cup of tea leisurely. It was a rare leisure time, Tilia went out to buy food, and Shana rushed into the bathroom to take a bath after finishing her exercise. Speaking of which, if it was the previous Shana, she would only come to Fang Zheng's place to take a bath occasionally. But since Tilia came, Shana almost came to Fang Zheng's place to take a bath every day.
It's almost like a small animal claiming its territory.
"You didn't realize what the kid was thinking, did you?"
"Of course, but it's not my place to talk about this kind of thing. Besides, this is a necessary stop on the road to growth. Life is like a bus that never stops. There will be smooth times and bumpy times. For the little girl, this may be a good lesson."
Having said this, Fang Zheng glanced out the window.
"Although the opponent's strength is a bit too strong."
"You mean the Red World guy?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Alastor's tone was obviously a little surprised.
"But her power is not strong..."
"People are strong not only in IQ, but also in EQ... After all, isn't that what human interaction is all about?"
Having said this, Fang Zheng seemed to have noticed something and turned his gaze towards the direction of the shopping street.
"Oh right... now there's a good chance, would you like to see how many points your lovely contractor can score?"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Alastor was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to react.
"You mean ..."
"This is a casual test, you can't help cheat, okay?"
After saying this, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and then his figure instantly disappeared into the air.
Shopping street.
The blonde girl in gothic clothes walked leisurely on the street, completely ignoring the surprised looks from the people around her. She just focused on the ingredients she bought and happily considered the dinner menu.
Do you want to cook Chinese food for your brother today?
For Tilia, she is best at Western cuisine, but her elder brother seems to prefer Chinese cuisine. Therefore, Tilia is also seizing the time to learn about this during this period of time, but Tilia herself is not sure whether to give her elder brother a surprise now.
As expected, it is still...
“Swish!!”
However, before Tilia could think about the menu, the next moment, the world around her stopped moving.
The azure light enveloped everything, isolating this place from the world.
Seal off.
Seeing this scene, Tilia's face changed slightly. At this moment, a voice came from not far above her.
"I never thought that I would see a Red World criminal walking down the street so brazenly."
"This really doesn't take us Fire Mist Warriors seriously."
"Although it's not the guy named 'Corpse Collector' Lamy, but let's just treat it as an appetizer and enjoy it!"
Tilia raised her head and looked towards the source of the voice. There, she saw a blonde woman in an OL uniform, standing on a big book and looking at her with a smug smile.
"So, are you ready? Crimson World! Die!!"
