The weather in this world is incredibly wild.

The sky was clear just now, but in the blink of an eye, dark clouds came like rolling waves, covering the entire sky. Torrential rain poured down, beating on the ground.

Before the rainstorm came, Fang Zheng and Miao Jie took shelter in an abandoned wooden house next door. Although it was not particularly clean and tidy, it was enough to shelter from the rain. So the two of them left their horses outside the house and went inside. Then they cleaned up the rags inside and sat down in a relatively less drafty place. Then Fang Zheng lit a fire. At the same time, a rainstorm came, and the big raindrops mixed with the strong wind hit the walls and doors of the wooden house. Even the cold wind coming in from the cracks on all sides revealed a chill.

“I always feel that this is pretty good.”

Sitting on a slightly tattered wooden chair, staring at the fire in front of her and listening to the sound of rain, Miao Jie couldn't help but sigh.

“It would be nice if I could have a small cabin, plant a few acres of land, raise a few animals, and live a quiet and peaceful life.”

"Then you have to be careful of wolves in the forest, and endure the harassment of ignorant villagers in the village. You can't take a hot shower as much as you want, and even in the summer you will be tormented by mosquitoes."

Fang Zheng silently shattered the girl's dream. Upon hearing this, Miao Jie pouted in dissatisfaction.

"What's the matter, Mr. Fang Zheng? I just want to have a dream. There's no need for you to be so extreme."

"Dreaming is the beginning of escaping from reality."

Fang Zheng chuckled and fiddled with the fire.

"Hey...Mr. Fang Zheng, you won't be popular with girls like this."

"No, I'm handsome and rich."

“…”

Faced with Fang Zheng's confident answer, Miao Jie was completely speechless. She turned her head away helplessly and coughed, then she regained her original calm and changed the subject.

"By the way, Mr. Fang Zheng, how does it feel to be able to travel freely through the world?"

"Um?"

"This is the first time I feel so relaxed. When I was in Semlia, no matter where I went, I felt like I couldn't escape from there. But it's different now. In this world, no one knows me, no one knows my identity, and no one will look at me differently because of it. I can do whatever I want without worrying about whether others will have a bad opinion of my parents or family... Mr. Fang Zheng, do you feel the same way when you travel to other worlds?"

"Although I really want to say yes, unfortunately, I don't have such a romantic outlook."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng sighed.

Thinking about it carefully, almost none of the worlds he traveled through were peaceful. Basically, there were troubles everywhere. The only place that could be said to be relatively reassuring was the game world. The troubles and dangers in other places were so numerous that it gave Fang Zheng a headache.

"Basically, most of the worlds I visited were full of trouble. In one world, someone wanted to melt all humans into orange juice and turn them into gods. In another world, there was a race called the Reapers, who would come to the Milky Way once in a while to kill all civilized races. There was also a village called Yharnam that was cursed by the blood of the ancient gods. The villagers there were wandering between dreams and reality, and were accompanied by monsters all day long. In another world, the women there would go to extremes when they fell in love, and would stab you to death at any time..."

Having said this, Fang Zheng let out another long breath.

It's all tears if I talk too much... These worlds are full of troubles, and they are always trying to destroy the world. Miao Jie had a good idea, but in the world she traveled to, few people had the leisure to travel. Even if they wanted to be lazy at first, they would have to start thinking about the survival of the world soon.

This is a life of hard work.

"Well……"

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Miao Jie's expression became slightly stiff.

"is that so?"

"Yes, so Semlia is already a rare peaceful world. You should not be unsatisfied. Other worlds may have their own characteristics, but basically, the troubles in these worlds are more and more."

The troubles left by the Goddess of Order need to be solved by himself. The Goddess of the Sky is also a trouble maker. As the last surviving member of the Order Clan, Fang Zheng can only work hard on his own.

Otherwise, why do you think Fang Zheng is so skilled in taking care of orphans? It’s because there are so many troubles in every world!

"Wow...it seems a bit cold."

At this moment, Miao Jie, who was sitting in front of the fire, couldn't help but curl up her body and started to shiver. Noticing her reaction, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Are you cold? Do you want me to add more fuel?"

"Maybe the rain soaked my clothes. I need to change."

As she spoke, Miao Jie blinked at Fang Zheng.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, you wouldn't take advantage of a cute student, would you?"

"Of course not."

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and turned away. He was actually too lazy to point out that they had already taken shelter before the rainstorm came... But it didn't matter. Since Miao Jie wanted to play, Fang Zheng would play with her. Anyway, he was free anyway, and Fang Zheng also wanted to see what this little girl Miao Jie was planning to do.

Soon, accompanied by the rustling sound of clothes falling off, Fang Zheng felt a warm touch on his back.

"Sure enough, it's much warmer this way... A-choo!!"

"puff."

Hearing Miao Jie's sneeze, Fang Zheng immediately laughed out loud.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, what are you laughing at? It's written in the book that at this time, you need to have skin-to-skin contact to keep warm!"

With her back to back with Fang Zheng, Miao Jie curled up into a ball and protested. But Fang Zheng didn't care at all, he laughed and started to make fun of her. You know, this wooden house is drafty on all sides, it's okay if you're wearing clothes, but now you're taking off your clothes to play this, that's really more about style than temperature.

"Fiction is fiction, reality is reality, do you understand now?"

"Wow...but that's not romantic at all."

Miao Jie snorted lightly, but soon her eyes lit up.

"But there are other ways...Mr. Fang Zheng, how about you hold me in your arms? It will be much warmer this way."

"Okay, I'll try."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng turned around and saw Miao Jie crawling into Fang Zheng's arms like a kitten, clinging to him tightly. At the same time, the girl raised her head and stared at Fang Zheng with a pair of bright purple eyes.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, please don't look down, or you will see me naked."

"I understand. I understand."

Fang Zheng raised his hands and held the girl's petite and soft body in his arms, hiding it under his cloak. Feeling Fang Zheng's hug, Miao Jie narrowed her eyes and revealed an expression of comfort like a cat.

"Yeah, that's much better."

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Of course, this is the most popular knight novel in the Kingdom of Erebonia. Knight Barron and the princess he protects went out for an outing and encountered a rainstorm on the way. The two people who were drenched by the rain took off their clothes, but the cold wind in the mountains forced them to shiver and stick together to keep warm. In this way, the two spent a romantic night... This is the favorite part of girls, right? Elfin and Elysee also like it very much."

At this point, Miao Jie also closed her eyes comfortably and leaned on Fang Zheng's chest. Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly when he heard Miao Jie's answer. There are indeed many novels published in the continent of Semlia, and there are naturally many novels for girls. In fact, many students in Semlia Academy also like to read this kind of thing.

I just didn't expect that the poor people in the other world could be so good at spreading rumors.

"It's really a novel, it always likes to come up with some meaningless developments."

"Really? But the fact is... uh..."

As she spoke, Miao Jie shuddered.

"You should put your clothes on. Are you trying to kill yourself in pursuit of romance?"

It's raining heavily outside, and the temperature in the mountains has dropped sharply. You're still taking off your clothes. Aren't you courting death? Although Miao Jie's expression still looked calm, her body wouldn't lie. Fang Zheng could feel the girl in his arms trembling slightly, and even had goose bumps. If she really spent a night like in the novel, she would probably get sick from the cold.

After all, novels are novels and reality is reality.

"I don't want to."

Perhaps because it was a rare occasion for the two of them to travel together, and they were not in their own world, Miao Jie actually started to act coquettishly.

"This is all Mr. Fang Zheng's responsibility, so please keep me warm, Mr. Fang Zheng."

"If you say so, well... let's use friction to generate heat."

"Why?"

Miao Jie was stunned when she heard Fang Zheng's words, and then she felt Fang Zheng's hand begin to move on her skin. Gradually, along with this wonderful touch, Miao Jie began to feel a hot flame inside her body. This flame burned fiercely and emerged from her body, making Miao Jie feel a little dry in the mouth...

"Wait, Mr. Fang Zheng, what are you doing..."

Miao Jie widened her eyes in surprise and wanted to say something, but at this moment, Fang Zheng leaned close to her ear.

"I'm here to tell you that fairy tales are all lies... As for how friction generates heat in reality... you'll soon find out."

"Wait... um... woo..."

Before Miao Jie finished her words, Fang Zheng blocked her mouth and held her in his arms. At the same time, the flames burned more vigorously, and the hot, dizzying breath gradually spread, dispelling the chill outside the house...
