Juvia was pleasantly surprised; the flowers were beautiful.
She quickly ran over, squatted down, and picked a few flowers.
Gray stopped to wait for her, watching Juvia's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Jubia picked a few flowers and gathered some grass, then wove them into a wreath.
"Lord Grey, may I wear it?" Juvia asked expectantly.
"Hmm." Gray lowered his head slightly.
Juvia happily put it on him, then looked him over and said, "You look really handsome, Lord Gray."
"..." Gray smiled and reached out to touch the flower on his head.
"Hey, be careful, it won't look good if you crush it," Juvia quickly said.
But then they saw Gray take a flower and put it in Juvia's hair.
Juvia froze on the spot. Looking at Grey's gentle smile, a warm current surged in her heart, and waves of emotion washed over her, almost bringing her to tears.
“It looks good on your head too,” Gray said.
“Lord Grey.” Juvia immediately pursed her lips, afraid that she would burst into tears.
"Alright, let's go." Gray smiled, took Juvia's hand, turned around, and pulled her along as they continued walking.
Walked for a while longer.
Several more clusters of beautiful flowers appeared in front of me.
But with important business to attend to, Gray and Juvia didn't stop.
But the further you go, the more there are.
At last.
Emerging from the forest, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
It's a field of flowers!
The flower field is planted with all kinds of beautiful flowers.
A small stream meanders through the area.
Beside the stream, there was a thatched hut.
A tall figure was squatting on the ground, carrying Gray and the other two on his back, busy at work.
It is a demon.
"Lord Grey, shall we go take a look?" Juvia looked at the flower field and loved it.
“Okay.” Gray led Juvia over.
"Uh-huh--"
As we got closer, we could hear the demon still singing.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this demon has a tall body, almost two meters tall.
Moreover, it looks very strange, with a humanoid lower body but two separate upper bodies, like conjoined twins.
The most striking contrast is that this demon's humming is a female voice, and quite sweet at that.
“Hello,” Gray said.
"Wow--"
The demon was startled, turned around, and saw two humans.
Gray and Juvia also saw what the other was doing.
This is a female demon, or rather, two.
Because above the waist, the other side consisted of the upper bodies of two female demons. Except for one who only had a left arm and the other only had a right arm, they both had human facial features, but their skin was light blue.
They were all very robust from head to toe, with lower bodies even more muscular than Elfman's, but their genders were still discernible from their chests, though this was concealed by clothing woven from flowers and plants.
They were holding shovels in one hand and flower seedlings in the other; they were clearly planting flowers.
"Humanity!"
She was startled and turned to run away.
"and many more!"
Gray shouted immediately.
The other person didn't even dare to go back into the house and ran away frantically.
“We mean no harm!” Juvia shouted quickly.
But the demon had already run far away.
“What a coward,” Gray said helplessly.
“He looks quite fierce.” Juvia nodded.
“Her speed is really fast, she must be quite strong,” Gray said, then shook his head. “But it seems we’ve disturbed her peace and quiet.”
“Yes, then let’s leave quickly,” Juvia said.
"Would you like to pick a few flowers? They're all quite pretty here," Gray said.
“No need,” Juvia shook her head and said, “Besides, the flowers we just picked were from the wild. This place was planted by someone without their permission.”
"Let's go then."
The two turned and left.
The forest on the other side.
The demon had already reached this point. She hid behind a tree, her two bodies, one on the left and one on the right, circled around the trunk, watching the two people leaving in the distance.
"I was terrified, sister! Luckily, these two humans don't seem to be trying to capture us." The demon who spoke was the same demon who had been humming earlier.
“He doesn’t look like a bad guy,” the other half said.
“But lately, humans have been busy hunting demons, and it’s hard for us to tell whether they are benevolent or malevolent,” the younger sister said.
“That’s right, so if we run into them, let’s avoid them,” the older sister said.
"If we could form a contract, becoming a mage's contracted demon wouldn't be bad," the younger sister said.
"Then we'll lose our freedom and won't be able to grow flowers anymore," the older sister said, sounding reluctant.
"Humans only have a hundred or two hundred years left, it'll be over in the blink of an eye," the younger sister said, thinking it was a good idea. "Once we survive this calamity, once humans are gone, we can still grow flowers."
"But what if we get caught and sent to the capital by those people?"
"I've heard that no demon has ever returned."
"Perhaps, all those demons have been killed."
"terrible."
The older sister remained silent.
"Ah, sister!" the younger sister suddenly cried out, pointing in the direction Gray and the others had gone, shouting, "Look, the direction they went is terrible! That place is the territory of the Overlord!"
The kind-hearted demon sister panicked: "What should we do, sister? Those two aren't mages, they don't have any demonic aura. They'll be killed by the Overlord!"
The older sister remained silent.
The younger sister said urgently, "Let's go, sister, let's go stop them!"
"But what if they have bad intentions?" The older sister still had some concerns.
"But we can't just stand by and watch them die!" the younger sister said. "We have to stop them. I don't think they're bad people!"
My sister said, "They seemed like a nice couple, but the girl didn't pick any of our flowers."
"Let's go." The older sister finally made up her mind.
Chapter 196, Gray and Juvia's Engagement Rings
Unfortunately, the two sides were already quite far apart.
By the time the demon chased them to the other side of the forest, it had already lost track of Gray and Juvia.
The two sisters hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow.
On the other hand, as they went deeper into the area...
Gray and Juvia were somewhat puzzled.
Gray said, "How come there aren't any animals here, not even mosquitoes?"
“Yes.” Juvia nodded.
“Wait, I seem to remember this situation.” Gray began searching his memory.
One day a few years ago.
Gray and Natsu, Happy, and Lisanna and Cana.
Several people are working together on a commission.
A simple task: drive away the wolves.
For ordinary people, wolves are very fierce, but for mages, even children are not that dangerous.
They drove the wolves as far into the forest as possible, forbidding them from returning and posing a threat to the villagers' lives.
But as they walked, the wolves refused to go any further. While everyone was still wondering what was going on, Natsu's expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong, Natsu?" Gray and the others asked, puzzled.
"No animals, no mosquitoes, not even wolves dare to come closer." Natsu suddenly turned and ran: "Everyone run! There's a big guy ahead!"
Everyone was a little confused, but Natsu was an expert in this area, so he listened to him and turned to run away.
Whether Natsu was right or wrong was not verified at the time.
One day later, while doing another mission nearby, Gray recalled this incident and went to investigate. Sure enough, there was a magical beast lurking there. Of course, at that time, he didn't have to exert too much effort to deal with it.
