Chapter 142 142. Waking up
The gentle breeze blew through the window and touched the girl's cheek.
The sun is shining outside the window.
In the green garden, there was the chirping of birds.
As the weather gets milder day by day, people forget their sorrow and pain.
In the endless darkness, a familiar voice came faintly.
The girl's eyelids fluttered slightly, and a light suddenly appeared in front of her eyes . There were exclamations from all around: "Miss Xiqi, she's awake."
“That’s great.”
"yes."
The girl with purple-black hair looked around blankly.
What came into view were the faces of Lanlan and Fiona. They were sitting on a wooden bench by the window, with unfinished pastries on a small table next to them.
Xiqi subconsciously looked down at herself and pursed her dry lips.
"Do you want some water?" Lan Lan handed over her cup.
"Thank you." Xiqi's voice was hoarse.
Her throat was moistened by the water, and she breathed a sigh of relief weakly: "How long have I slept?"
"It's been a long time, from mid-April to mid-May now, more than a month." Lan Lan counted on her fingers and nodded to herself.
"Luckily you woke up." Fiona said meaningfully, leaving the words unfinished.
Xiqi frowned slightly: "Why did I sleep for so long?"
"Don't you have any impression at all?" Lan Lan asked puzzledly.
Xiqi hummed softly: "I was confused in sleep and had many nightmares."
"You were attacked by that evil spellcaster and fell unconscious," Fiona said simply.
Xiqi was stunned and her eyes lost focus until someone pushed her shoulder. She suddenly reacted, her body trembling violently and her teeth chattering.
"Don't be afraid, Xiqi! The enemy has been defeated!" Lanlan patted Xiqi's back gently.
Fiona smiled and lifted the quilt: "No matter what, you don't have to worry about it in the future."
Xiqi felt a chill and realized that she had no clothes. Her cheeks quickly became hot and she hurriedly snatched back the quilt.
"Xiqi, you have great potential." Lanlan wagged his tail and leaned close to her cheek with a wicked smile.
"Give me my clothes quickly." Xiqi urged shyly.
"It's okay. Everyone has seen it many times and is tired of it." Fiona said mischievously, reaching her cold hands into the quilt.
Xiqi tried to stop him: "Stop it."
Unaware of the sorrowful laughter, Xiqi finally stood up shakily with the help of the two.
After not eating for a while, her body was extremely empty and she looked extremely thin.
But it seems to be stronger than every time Evelyn wakes up from meditation.
The reason was that there were kind maid sisters who helped feed and water him, and Lovi would come over from time to time and take some measures to alleviate muscle atrophy.
The three of them went downstairs to the restaurant.
The cook, Am, happened to be home visiting her family, and now the kitchen is in charge of the assistant servants.
A bowl of noodles was cooked in beef bone broth with a cuckoo egg, and the steaming hot noodles were served to Xiqi's table.
Noodles have been quite popular recently, with new varieties constantly being developed and quickly being accepted and recognized by people.
Especially after Lowe extracted MSG from kelp, many people became deeply addicted to this food.
Anyone who has tasted MSG for the first time will be deeply impressed. Coupled with the broth carefully boiled from beef bones, this bowl of soup has a huge impact on Xiqi's life, and for a moment, it feels like a different world.
"What on earth happened when I was not awake?"
"Actually, it's nothing. Everyone is busy building houses and repairing roads. The young master is quite free and basically has time to help you relax your muscles every day." Fiona said, with a lemony taste in her mouth.
"This is not good." Xiqi folded her hands in panic: "Didn't you stop him?"
"The young master is a spellcaster! He casts spells to heal your wounds and eliminate evil. Why should we stop him?" Lan Lan asked curiously.
"That's right." Xiqi looked very unnatural and glanced at the two of them secretly: "Anyway, thank you."
The clear Moon Lake has a surface like a mirror.
Workers came and went, laboriously transporting red bricks and cement. The dark grey stone castle had now mostly turned the colour of cement.
It looked a bit ugly, but at least the badly weathered surface had been smoothed out.
The smart workers were discussing whether it would look better if they could color the cement, for example, by applying a layer of white lime on the surface.
The construction of the sixth floor of Fulin Castle has just started.
It is expected that at most one more layer will be built. If there are more, it will not be stable enough and the foundation will not be strong enough.
With the easy-to-use material of red bricks, the project progressed rapidly.
They didn't even have to carry the bricks to the roof. They used a pulley basket to transport the bricks to the top floor and stack them up. This was of course Lovey's idea.
"What a huge change!" Xiqi looked up and muttered to herself in a daze.
"By the way, Xiqi, you should say hello to your Chamber of Commerce staff as soon as possible. They are all very worried about you." Lan Lan suddenly thought of something and tapped her chin with her finger: "By the way, you have another letter. I'll get it for you."
"What letter? I'm not in a hurry. Just tell me where the young master is first." Xiqi stomped her feet in anger without calling out to Lan Lan who was running away.
In the bamboo forest on the shore of Moon Lake, on the path paved with cement and pebbles, Lowe walked leisurely with his hands behind his back.
He tilted his head slightly, letting the sunlight shine on his face, looking comfortable and peaceful.
He had nothing to do most of the day, and he gradually got used to the life of an idler, and his mood became more and more peaceful.
I just want to cherish the good weather now and think about making some delicious food.
Occasionally, on a whim, I would invent some small things to solve some of the troubles in life.
"Young Master, let's rest for a while in front." Su Ya followed closely behind Luo Wei, maintaining a suitable smile on her pretty face.
In front of the path, there is a bamboo bench for passers-by to rest.
Lovey waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew away the dust on the surface.
Motioning to Su Ya to sit down first, he fell on his knees skillfully, squinting his eyes slightly.
"Master, when can I do this?"
Su Ya asks this question several times every day.
Every time, Luo Wei would perfunctorily answer, "Soon!" "Why are you so impatient? You have no patience at all. Wait at least three to five years."
"In three to five years, I will be old!" Su Ya shook her knees to vent her dissatisfaction.
"You want to lie to me? With your succubus bloodline, you won't age even at fifty." Lovi narrowed his eyes and grabbed Suya's uneasy hands.
She is a very soft woman, like water, with a face like a vixen, it is no exaggeration to call her a beauty that brings disaster.
"How many three to five years are there in a lifetime? I'll wait for three to five days at most!" Su Ya exhaled viciously.
This trick certainly worked against the young man, but unfortunately Lovi was now a sage, and was indifferent to the stronger temptation from the tip of his nose: "I advise you to be careful, Lanlan's nose is very sensitive, don't let her find out."
Su Ya knew what he meant, and her pretty face turned red: "Get up, don't hurt me, how can I bear this?"
