Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 181 The Meaning of a Partner

Time is not a luxury for elves.

It was not until winter came and heavy snow dyed the whole of Barum white that Luke, who was discussing magic with Fulilian, suddenly realized that another year had passed.

Fulilian yawned sleepily. The coming of winter put her into a semi-hibernation state. She slept a few hours longer than usual. And after experiencing the warm quilt, she didn't want to come out anymore, and got up a few hours later every day.

Luke put down his work and shook her, "Cheer up, Flillian."

Fulilian: "I think we should do the right thing at the right time. It's okay to spend three to five years on flying magic or something like that."

Luke: (-﹏-`;)
"Don't be so willful. Didn't we agree to complete the magic this year?"

Flillian: ()
The main force in the research of flying magic was Fulilian. When she stopped, the progress naturally began to slow down.

Lu Ke could only resume his previous daily routine, doing magic training and physical training, studying flying magic at night, and reviewing the problems he had encountered before.

The world of magic is profound and mysterious. The more I learn, the more I feel that I am lacking.

After finishing his exercise, Lu Ke, steaming all over, walked into the bathroom and, as expected, sensed the gazes in the dark.

After Trela ​​successfully stripped Luke of his clothes, she behaved herself for a while, but soon returned to her old ways, becoming even worse and starting to do peeping things.

Lu Ke probably understood that when dealing with this kind of person who was a giant in thought but a dwarf in action, she would be a female hooligan unless her bottom line was touched, but she would become a good kid if she really crossed the line.

After being teased so many times, Luke gradually figured out the pattern. As long as he got serious, Trela ​​would definitely back down, so he simply lowered himself and let Trela ​​do what she wanted.

Anyway, he has been seen and touched enough, so she won't really do anything.

Closing his eyes and feeling the hot water washing away his fatigue, Lu Ke closed his eyes comfortably, enjoying the pleasure of taking a hot spring bath in winter.

In the rising mist, a feeling of being tipsy comes over you, making you drowsy.

Through magical detection, Luke felt a figure approaching from afar and stopping at the edge, but he ignored it and continued to enjoy the hot spring bath.

After a while, the people around couldn't hold it anymore.

"Hey, there's a beautiful, elegant girl bathing with you, and you close your eyes and do nothing?"

Luke ignored Trela's call and her sneak attack, and only stopped her actions when she was attacked from all three directions.

"Speak, speak."

Tracey waved her hand in front of Luke and called him a few more times. Seeing that he didn't move, she kissed him on the cheek.

Lu Ke then opened his eyes, and as soon as he opened them he was dazzled by the huge white snow. He couldn't help but turn his head and speak slowly.

"Put on your clothes and talk about what you want to say."

"Are you afraid to look at it, afraid that you can't control yourself?"

Trela ​​put her hands on her hips and laughed triumphantly, her laughter causing her body to hit the water surface, creating ripples.

Luke replied calmly, "Since I was fourteen, all kinds of people have climbed into my bed, including noble ladies."

The laughter stopped abruptly, and Trela ​​pouted. "You haven't been taken advantage of by some woman, have you?"

Luke deliberately said nothing.

The silent attitude seemed to be a tacit agreement, which made Trela's mouth corners turn down and her face gradually turned cold.

"It's boring." She bit her lip, relaxed her body, and looked a little sad.

"I was planning to say goodbye to you before I left, but I didn't expect to hear you say something like this. It's really boring."

Lu Ke was stunned. He had a bad feeling and felt his heart skip a beat.

"What do you mean by leaving?"

"Do you think the daughters of the royal city nobles can always stay in the homes of nobles in other cities? The children of the nobles are just tools for political marriages. We have no right to choose."

Trela ​​bit her lip and glared at Luke, her face pale. "If my father hadn't doted on me, I wouldn't have been able to live in the Campbell family for so long. It's the result of my hard work that got me here until now."

Lu Ke was speechless. He was devoted to magic and was not sensitive to the affairs between nobles. He seldom cared about the twists and turns between them. Now thinking about it, it seemed to be true.

"Sorry, I……"

"What's the use of saying sorry? As soon as I return to the royal city, my family will immediately arrange a blind date for me. They will let me pick a slightly better person from a group of uneducated and low-class people. Then after a few disgusting and boring dates, we will get engaged and be escorted to the wedding hall."

Trela's tone was filled with calm and deep sadness, "I have tried very hard to make you like me. I have done everything I could. Even today, I just wanted to give you the most precious thing, and pray that you would change your mind."

"But why did you tell me about your previous ridiculous things? Do you think I'm annoying and want me to give up on you?"

Lu Ke was confused by this series of attacks and stammered, "That's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I didn't touch those people." Luke explained uncomfortably, "Those people were maids in the house or noble ladies who sneaked in. I always politely asked them to leave."

"It's meaningless to talk about this now. It doesn't matter whether I touch you or not. The point is that you don't like me, and I'm leaving here tomorrow."

Trela ​​buried her head in her arms, curled up into a ball, and her body trembled helplessly.

Luke felt his mouth dry and his heartbeat quickened. "Actually, it's not that I don't like it..."

"What does this mean? Explain it clearly."

Trela ​​didn't look up, her tone was tearful.

"It means... I like it."

Lu Ke took a deep breath and spoke with a somewhat anxious and tangled tone, "But I am an immortal species, and it is not a good thing to be with humans. For example, when you are gone, how should I live?"

Time seemed to stand still, but a burst of cheerful laughter broke the silence.

"I don't know the answer to this question, all I know is that I will have a partner who will stay young forever."

Trela's body stopped shaking. She raised her head, no traces of tears on her cheeks. She winked at Luke triumphantly and gave him a mischievous smile.

Lu Ke was frozen in place, then he realized, "You were just pretending?" "Three of them are true, and seven of them are false. I'm only eighteen years old, just reaching the marriageable age. My family is anxious but they won't let me get married right away. But it's true that I'm trying very hard to live here."

Luke fell silent, not knowing what to think for a moment.

"You just admitted that you like me, don't change your mind."

"Ah."

"I'll discuss our marriage with Ms. Luo Yin later."

"Ah."

A few short responses dampened Trela's excitement. She swam over and touched Luke's cheek, "What's wrong?"

Lu Ke's face didn't look very good, and he said honestly: "It's okay, I'm just a little angry, but I can't be angry at you."

You can't get angry at your lover just after confirming the relationship.

After hearing this, Trela ​​thought about it, and her fair cheeks were stained with a few beautiful red strands.

She hugged Luke from the front, lowered her head, held his hand and placed it on her chest, and said in a whisper, "I'm sorry, I did something wrong. You can be angry in other ways."

Luke covered his eyes with his other arm in a trance.

The water temperature of the hot spring was a little too high, so the elf began to feel dry mouth and blood vessels dilated.

Then, the surface of the hot spring began to ripple for a long and lasting time.

……

The daytime in winter is blurry. Fulilian, who woke up naturally, rubbed her eyes, a little surprised.

It was totally unreasonable that he was not pulled up by Luke to study magic today.

"What's going on? Is Barum going to be destroyed?"

After complaining silently, Fulilian got up, washed up quickly and went to the laboratory, then saw Luke with a strange expression.

He frowned slightly, his body was much more relaxed than usual, with an expression on his face that was not sure whether it was nostalgia or reminiscence, and he seemed very hesitant.

Such rich emotions are quite rare in elves, Fulilian asked curiously.

"What happened to you?"

Luke seemed startled and stood up suddenly from his chair. He let down his guard only after seeing that it was Fulilian.

"Nothing, just thinking about some issues."

"About magic?"

"No, uh... yes... is it?" Lu Ke was a little confused.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

This strange behavior aroused Fulilian's curiosity. "I promise not to tell anyone."

"Is such that."

Luke blushed and said, "I have a friend who is also an elf. He asked me a while ago whether there is reproductive isolation between elves and humans."

Fulilian thought for a moment and said, "From what I know, there should be."

"Why should it?"

"When the Elf Village was still around, adults would only start instructing children on such matters when they were four hundred years old."

"A 400-year-old kid!"

The expression on Luke's face became particularly wonderful.

Fulilian looked at him strangely and continued, "The Elf Village was gone before I was taught this kind of knowledge, so I can only learn a little from books and actual situations."

"Based on the current number of elves, there should be reproductive isolation between elves and humans."

"Would you consider choosing a human as a partner in the future?"

Flillian shook her head, "I haven't thought about having a partner."

"Maybe I'll meet someone very good." Luke thought about Xin Meier, "someone who is strong, gentle, and considerate."

There was no fluctuation on Fulilian's face, and she was a little confused about this question.

"From the literal meaning, a partner is someone you spend the rest of your life with, so the first thing to consider should be lifespan, not strength or character. A human who will die within a hundred years is not a good choice anyway."

"Elves are the immortal species among the immortal species. Even if you must choose a partner, considering the actual situation, you should choose an immortal species. This is the appropriate goal."

Luke's face showed a little more sadness, and he looked at the clouds outside the window, "That makes sense."

After looking for a while, Lu Ke looked at Fulilian with sharp eyes.

"Did you think flying magic could be developed before?"

"Theoretically, it's not possible..."

"But now we have completed most of the work and can see the dawn of victory."

Fulilian leaned her head and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Luke pondered for a moment and smiled. "Nothing. I just think that practice makes perfect. Maybe choosing a human partner isn't that bad."

Fulilian: "It's your freedom."

"After I've experienced it, you can consult me ​​if you have any troubles in this regard!"

"No, I won't." Fulilian replied calmly, "I will never have such trouble."
