"Um..."

 After a moment of silence, Lu Li nodded with some complexity.

 It was only after moving to the Buffati Mansion that he began to come into contact with the friends he knows today.

 The three siblings Navia, Clorinde, Chavore, Linnelinette, and Femini...

 But before that, regarding his memories of life in this Hearth House, he could only remember some memories about training and painful memories. Everything else seemed to have been erased by someone and he could not remember it at all.

 He felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried.

 And now it seems that this forgotten memory is the reason why Alechino treats him so specially.

 Alechino whispered at this moment: "When we were little, you were very close to us, but when everything fell apart, I had to do things I didn't want to do, which caused me to owe more and more."

 "Whether it's out of compensation for you, or because I once promised someone that I would take good care of you after this," Alechino said with a complicated look in her eyes, "you are very special to me."

 Lu Li seemed to be thinking about something.

 Then, he felt relieved.

 "I understand. In that case, let's keep going!"

 "Ah."

 After nodding slightly, Alechino walked forward with Lu Li.

 Chapter 43 Alechino: Let’s Swim Together

 "Zheng——"

 As the sickle was swung out, it collided heavily with the sacrificial knife. An unimaginable force was transmitted at this moment, and the scarlet flames and the red flames entangled with each other.

 The next moment, Lu Li's body flew backwards.

 He twisted his body in mid-air, and just as he landed on the ground to stabilize his center of gravity, he saw Alechino who had knocked him back with one blow. At this moment, she did not rush to chase him, but just raised her hand slightly and flicked with her fingertips.

 The chilling murderous intent coming from behind him instantly made Lu Li's expression change slightly and he looked behind him.

 A huge sickle-blade claw came from the ground at this moment!

 Is there such a way to control and master the power of fire element?

 He turned around and swung his sword to hit the sickle that was attacking from behind, but the next moment, he felt a cold chill on his neck.

 A sickle, extending from behind, was now placed on his shoulder.

 "That's checkmate, Lu Li."

 The moment Alecino whispered, the sickle and sickle claws turned into sparks and completely dissipated.

 Looking at Lu Li, who was sweating profusely, Alechino said softly, "When your strength reaches a few more realms and your control over elemental power becomes more and more perfect, you will understand that sometimes fighting is not limited to one method."

 “At that time, when your heart moves freely and your instincts evaporate, you will be able to see yourself completely.”

 Alechino said softly, "However, you still have a long way to go to reach that level. Therefore, you should focus on strengthening your control over elemental forces and honing your martial arts. Only by laying a good foundation can you go further in the future."

 Adjust your breathing slowly

 At this moment, Lu Li could only nod slightly with a complicated expression to show that he understood.

 Alechino did not say anything more. She believed that although Lu Li suffered such a crushing defeat that he could hardly resist, he would never be discouraged. Instead, he would fight back.

 Only after awakening the strong heart within oneself can one be said to have embarked on the path of becoming strong.

 And those who embark on this path will never be easily shaken.

 After standing there waiting for Lu Li to recover for a while, Alechino finally came to her senses at his gentle reminder and withdrew her gaze from observing the ruins.

 Looking at the young man who has recovered now, beads of sweat are hanging on his handsome face under the sunlight.

 Just like walking down the street, men can’t help but be attracted by beautiful women;

 In fact, women are also attracted to handsome and stylish men.

 And Lu Li, with his outstanding exotic looks and extremely strong body that exudes hormones, looks even more attractive now because of the sweat he is sweating on.

 Alechino's eyes flickered slightly. After suppressing her restless heart, she reached out and wiped the sweat off the man's face with a handkerchief. Then she said softly, "Let's go. It's getting late. It's time to rest and enjoy lunch. Did you bring some tools and food for the picnic?"

 "Um, Father, I didn't bring these..."

 Lu Li was slightly stunned, and then said with some embarrassment.

 "It doesn't matter. If that's the case, then we can just solve it right here."

 Alechino shook her head slightly and said calmly, "Lu Li, there are salt crystals nearby. Go collect some salt, and then gather some mint and bubble oranges. We can have grilled fish for lunch."

 "Yes, father, are you going to catch fish?"

 After Lu Li responded, he looked at Alechino with some curiosity, then looked at the stream flowing not far away, his eyes lit up as he said so.

 "Yep."

 At this moment, she bent down and slightly pulled up her trouser legs. At the same time, Alechino also took her jade feet out of the sharp and tall high heels. Then, after stepping lightly on the floor, she walked along a path to the river not far away.

 Lu Li felt a little guilty at this moment and turned his gaze away from the lotus feet. After taking a deep breath, he hurried off.

 I saw an open-air salt mine on the way here just now. There would be no problem in distilling pure edible salt from it.

 ------Dividing line------

 About ten minutes later, Lu Li, carrying a bunch of fruits, branches and small bottles, finally arrived at the river.

 As soon as he came over, he noticed something unusual about Alechino at the moment.

 She pulled her trouser legs up to her calves and at this moment, was dipping her tender feet into the cool lake water.

 The lake surface was shimmering with the sunlight reflecting off it, and with this as the background, Alechino seemed to be getting a little excited and unbuttoned the gray and white suit jacket that always wrapped him tightly.

 Alechino actually has a pretty good figure, but it's always wrapped up tightly so it doesn't show.

 Although she doesn't have the plump figure of Clorinde or the proud sexiness of Navia, her figure coupled with her ice-cold face perfectly reflects her dangerous charm.

 Feeling a little shy, Lu Li turned his gaze away at this moment, so as not to offend his father. Then he quickly said, "Father, I'm back! I brought salt, bubble oranges, sunset fruit, and some mint. Also, I noticed a wild bee nest on the cliff edge, so I brought some honey!"

 "Oh? Well done, beyond my expectations. With these seasonings, the grilled fish shouldn't be too bad, and the fishy smell won't be too strong."

 Alechino turned her head at this moment and noticed Lu Li's embarrassed expression, not daring to look up. She was slightly startled, then smiled slightly and said, "I already prepared those cold-water sea bass before you came. They're not very plump, but they're still good for lunch. Come on, let's start cooking."

 "Ok!"

 Under Alechino's command, the fire was lit to roast the sea bass pierced with branches, and then salt, honey, fruit juice and other seasonings were sprinkled according to the preferences of the two people. It was not until it was roasted to the point of being crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma was fragrant, that it was served.

 Alechino's eating manners are quite elegant. As a diplomat of a country, she has received very strict elite training since she was a child. This behavior has been engraved in her bones and has become a habit.

 Eating grilled fish beside her, Lu Li's mood became more peaceful for some reason.

 Before this, he had always been a little puzzled as to why Alechino punished him so differently, and because of the huge difference in their status, he had always looked at her with respect, even to the point of awe.

 But now, after going out with her in the wild, taking trials, sparring, and now having lunch together...

 My impression of Alechino also changed quietly at this moment.

 She is not out of reach, and that sense of alienation is not something that cannot be bridged or bridged.

 Although Lu Li still didn't know what kind of experiences he had with Alechino and the other person she mentioned when he was young, after hearing what they had said before, he completely understood why Alechino treated him differently from other children.

 ..."Lu Li, after eating, let's go

 Let’s go swimming.”

 At this time, Alechino, who had left the fish head and tail uneaten, turned his head and looked at Lu Li who was still eating the grilled fish and asked softly.

 "Hey?"

 Lu Li, who was eating grilled fish and thinking about something, almost choked when he heard this. Then, he looked at Alechino with a somewhat incredible look in his eyes, "Father, are you here?"

 The lake in front of me...although not deep, it is not shallow either. It looks like it is indeed suitable for swimming.

 But it was a bit surprising that the person who suggested swimming together was Alechino.

 "Well, why, you don't want to?"

 Alechino asked calmly.

 "No," Lu Li quickly shook his head in denial, and then said with some complexity: "I just didn't expect it... Anyway, if this is what you ask, I will accompany you!"

 "...Well, then eat quickly!"

 After a moment of silence, Alechino raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spoke softly.

 "Yes..."

 With a somewhat subtle mood, Lu Li began to eat the grilled fish much faster.

 Chapter 44 Let Me Serve You, Master Alecino

 In the clear stream, Lu Li and Alechino floated not far from the lake.

 The water flowing down from the top of Mount Mansos has its potential energy increasing with the drop, thus forming such a cold water river.

 The altitude of Fontainebleau is much higher than the Seven Kingdoms of Teyvat. In addition, the two are still in the mountainous area. Naturally, the water temperature here is much lower than that in other places.

 However, for Alechino, whose blood flows like fire, this temperature is just right.

 For Lu Li, this temperature is equivalent to winter swimming.

 However, although he felt the biting cold on the surface of his body, Lu Li now felt his whole body burning with heat because of the scene in front of him.

 Before we set out, I never thought that we would actually swim together. I guess Alechino thought the same.

 Therefore, Lu Li is now only wearing a pair of boxer shorts.

 And Alechino is actually not much worse than Lu Li.

 She was not wearing a swimsuit, but entered the water in her underwear.

 The surface of the river sparkles because of the refraction of sunlight.

 But even so, in a world that has not been polluted by any industrial waste gas, in the wild under such a natural environment, the rivers are naturally extremely clear.

 Therefore, Lu Li could see very clearly the body of Alechino, which he had never seen before... or rather, no man had ever seen before.

 Even though the fabric blocks people's imagination, the vast expanses of snow-white are enough to attract people's attention and move their hearts.

 Lu Li is like this now, but he barely controls himself.

 At this moment, the young man lowered his eyes slightly, adjusted his breathing, splashed the water, and thought about other things.

 However, the distinct change in his abdomen could not be calmed by the cold river water and the surging thoughts.

 Alechino's eyesight was naturally very good. Since Lu Li saw her through the clear water, it was natural for her to see through the lake water and discover the clues on Lu Li at the moment.

 The restlessness in her heart became increasingly difficult to calm down at this moment. Looking at Lu Li chatting with her about the previous topic while trying to calm herself down and recover her original physical condition, Alechino smiled lightly and swam over quietly.

 By the time Lu Li realized who was around him, Alechino had already arrived beside him.

 The young man, who had just started to panic, was grabbed by the back of his neck by a soft hand the next moment.

 At this moment, Alechino leaned close to Lu Li and whispered, "When talking to people, pay attention to their eyes... Am I that scary?"

 "No... No, Father..."

 Lu Li was about to speak in a panic, but the next moment, following Alechino's next move, his body completely stiffened.

 Looking at his black boxer shorts that quickly floated on the water and then quickly flowed down with the turbulent river water, Lu Li opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he could only remain silent.

 Next, I will return to Fontaine in a vacuum state...

 Lu Li felt bitter inside.

 Feeling the heat of the musket in my hand, it formed a sharp contrast with the cold river water.

 Alechino quietly looked at Lu Li in front of her, playing with him while whispering, "Why do you have to hold yourself back? I asked you to come down, which was already an invitation. Instead of chatting with you about insignificant things, since you accepted the invitation, then at this time, you should be more proactive in inviting a female companion to dance, just like attending a banquet."

 "Yes...Father—"

 "Don't say that name now!"

 After the words fell, like a vampire, Alechino lowered her head and gently bit the side of Lu Li's neck.

 At this moment, the cold stinging pain and the constant stimulation made Lu Li's body and mind tremble violently.

 He could feel that his neck was pierced by Alechino's long nails and teeth, leaving a small wound.

 (It wasn't an illusion after all. Alechino really loves to inflict damage and take the initiative... How should I put it? It's not surprising at all...)

 Lu Li had complicated thoughts in his mind, and then, at this moment, he suddenly remembered what Alechino had said just now.
