The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

......

After traveling on the viaduct for more than ten minutes in Shaya's [Tortoise] RV, Perlis and her group arrived at a hot pot restaurant in the city of Wulan.

Along the way, Perlis felt like she was traveling through an intricate concrete forest: most of the buildings in Wulan had great height differences, and the various viaducts were even more intricate, like a pile of cables entangled with a computer host, constantly passing through the narrow gaps in the concrete forest.

The atmosphere in the hot pot restaurant was a little more lively than outside. The hot aroma made Perlis touch her belly gently. The warm yellow lights decorated the interior of the store, making everything in a hot atmosphere.

Perlis noticed the so-called "hot pot" way of eating: put the ingredients into the pot, and then take them out and eat them after they are cooked.

This was a way of eating that she had never heard of before. What confused her was that since it had to be cooked anyway, why not just cook it directly before serving it?

"..."

After sitting down in the small private room inside the restaurant, Sha Ya and Su Yao quickly finished their order. The waiter quickly brought a large pot, the bottom of the pot was divided into two sides, one for red soup and the other for white soup.

As it heats up, the soup base gradually boils and bursts of aroma overflow.

About ten minutes later, the dishes were served one by one, and the hot pot feast began.

6) Quiet Mist (Part 10)

Plates of meat were put into the pot and taken out hot and fragrant.

"Come on! Eat it!"

Saya brought four small bowls into the private room and placed them in front of each person. They contained her homemade seasonings, which looked very appetizing.

Some strange talent has been awakened since she entered Qilang. Perlis, who rarely used chopsticks before, now uses chopsticks very naturally, as if the chopsticks are a part of her hand.

She picked up a piece of beef, dipped it in the sauce, then took a bite. An expression of happiness immediately appeared on her face.

"tasty..."

"It must be really delicious if it makes you look so obvious," Carly said, smoothing Little White Flower's hair with a smile, "The atmosphere here is great."

The second half of Carly's words were very accurate, and Perlis roughly understood why this method of eating was used - because the atmosphere for eating in this way was really great.

While waiting for the food to be cooked, Shaya and Su Yao chatted almost non-stop. Su Yao, who seemed to have been troubled, smiled and happily told Shaya about what happened in Chaoqu City, and laughed at the policeman who embarrassed her.

Carly and Polys also joined in the conversation. As they chatted, the food on the table became less and less, and Polys's face became redder and redder.

This time it wasn't because I was shy, it was because it was hot.

"Phew...I'm going to go outside and cool off."

Perlis stood up, and the other three were still chatting, so they didn't accompany her. Shaya told Perlis that the backyard of the hot pot restaurant was a small viewing area, which was very suitable for walking.

"..."

After opening the back door, the cool breeze made Perlis feel much more comfortable. The backyard was a small courtyard full of peach blossoms, with mountains in the background and a thin layer of mist floating, like a fairyland.

There is a path in the peach blossom forest. From time to time, a breeze blows, scattering the peach blossoms and forming a beautiful scene like rain.

Unable to help herself, Perlis strolled towards the path. She paced slowly in the peach blossom rain, feeling the cool air cleansing herself.

Perlis hasn't been alone for a long time, and sometimes she misses this kind of solitary atmosphere.

Of course, she didn't mean to hate Carly. To Perlis, Carly was the complement of her soul. How could she hate her?

However, Perlis knew that she was essentially an introvert and she needed to be alone to restore her energy and stay rational.

This habit of being alone seemed to be a projection of her past experiences. She originally wanted to get rid of it, but she unknowingly discovered that this habit had become a part of her soul.

In the peach blossom rain, Perlis fell into deep thought, gradually becoming lost in the ocean of thoughts.

"..."

"call--"

"call--"

A faint sound of wind came from the front, drawing Perlis' attention back to reality. She noticed a group of factors entangled in front of her - there was someone.

Pushing aside the peach blossom rain, Perlis found herself at a small clearing in the forest covered with peach petals. A small pavilion appeared in front of her, deep and elegant, like the eyes of the forest.

In front of the pavilion, a swordsman in white was staggeringly dancing with a sword. The silver blade of the sword was wandering in the rain of peach blossoms, like a dragon swinging its tail wantonly.

His movements seemed chaotic, but Perlis soon noticed the order in them - each of his steps fell exactly at the point where he could swing his sword, and the tip of his sword would accurately draw a line of peach petals in the air every time.

The white-robed swordsman used the wine glass in his other hand to catch the fallen peach blossoms. Soon, the glass was filled with peach blossoms. He raised his head in the woods, drank the peach blossoms and wine together, and then walked towards Perlis.

Only then did Perlis see the swordsman's face clearly: it was Li Zhonghe.

[Protector of the Great Wall] The fifth seat is [Drunken Master] Li Zhonghe.

Perlis knew this swordsman. In the historical memory recalled by the Star Diamond, she saw this swordsman fighting with Edward.

"Perlis Hafgard."

Li Zhonghe walked up to Perlis, looked at her calmly, with a hint of smile on his lips.

Perlis didn't say anything, but looked at him for a long time.

"Heh... your eyes look a bit like his."

Li Zhonghe smiled, and Pearlis knew who he was referring to: he was talking about Edward.

Seeing that Perlis still didn't speak, the [Drunken Immortal] handed the cup in his hand to Perlis and said:

"drink wine?"

"No," Perlis shook her head, "Why do you want to see me?"

"Hmm? You found yourself here by yourself. What does it have to do with me?"

Perlis stopped talking again. She just stared at Li Zhonghe, who soon smiled calmly:

"Haha, you are very smart. This makes you more like Miss Hallilali."

Li Zhonghe shook his sleeves, then stretched out his hand, motioning Perlis to sit in the pavilion.

Perlis did not disobey and sat in the pavilion with Li Zhonghe. The breeze blew peach petals onto the table, like a waterfall of floral fragrance falling on the table, spreading all over, accompanied by a pleasant cool breeze.

Pearlis noticed a collection of poetry on the table. After taking a closer look, she discovered that it was "Selected Fairy Tales from Wilkins' Poems" and immediately frowned.

Why is he reading this book?

"Oh, this book was given to me by a poet. It is said to be a collection of poems from the other side. I have been reading it." Li Zhonghe noticed Perlis's gaze and replied.

"Do you remember his name?"

"I don't remember... In fact, I can't even remember his appearance. I drink a lot and my memory is not very good, haha..."

Li Zhonghe rubbed his temples and gave the kind of wry smile that only a sloppy poet could give.

But Perlis knew that the reason he didn't remember Ikan Geller was not because his memory was bad, but because the poet might not want to be remembered.

Perhaps that is why this collection of Wilkin's fairy tale poems has no title.

Why did he hide his name?

"He writes really good poems... He taught me a lot..." Li Zhonghe murmured, "When I first met your father, I thought that the people on the mainland island were hopeless. They were the people farthest away from freedom, and they were a generation that was given a false mission..."

Li Zhonghe raised his head, glanced at Perlis, and curved his lips:

"I am still reading this collection of poems over and over again. It has helped me understand the people on the other side of the continent, and also made me understand the real power of the concept of civilization."

"Why do you keep reading it?" Perlis said calmly, "Aren't you a poet?"

"Because every time I read it, I will have new feelings," Li Zhonghe stroked the cover of the poetry collection, "Every time I open this poetry collection, I feel that I am one step closer to its author. Then, there are countless interpretations that spread out like tree branches, and they all converge in the clouds to form an ocean of yes."

"When there are many poems, they become an ocean. You and I are just fish swimming in the ocean. Who dares to say that he has understood the mystery of every drop of water?"

Li Zhonghe poured himself a glass of wine. He wanted to pour for Perlis, but Perlis raised her hand to refuse. So he drank a sip by himself and continued:

"I met you only because I wanted to see what the seed that Qi Lang failed to catch eventually grew into."

"What's your conclusion?" asked Perlis.

Li Zhonghe did not speak. He looked at Perlis's calm face again and then said:

"Just like he said, a white flower."

......

6) Quiet Mist (Part 11)

Embers Hall - Wilkin

Aloi Aziz felt helpless.

For a long time, Wilkin was the country with the best material life in the entire Admir continent. Even today, when the Federation is developing rapidly after the [College War], it can still be ranked second.

But the Wilkins' ambitions were never just about wealth; to them, taking was the most important thing.

After acquiring wealth, the next step is power.

Aloi Aziz wants power, and has even become a little paranoid about it since the death of his brother Akkaya.

But all this collapsed not long ago - because of the rise of the new king of Thebes.

Originally, Aloi's plan was to first obtain the blood of Perlis Havrgard in the [Competition] and use that blood to make the God Blood Compass. Then he would support Venia to overthrow Mikhail's regime, let the puppet take over while controlling Thebite from behind, and search for the [God Essence] in the Monark Bunker.

Everything was calculated perfectly, to the last detail, with incredible precision.

Things are impermanent.

Aloi didn't know what to do anymore. After his long plan failed, he locked himself in his bedroom for a large part of the time, never going out. He just stared at the clock on the wall, watching the time pass by.

He had a feeling that he had failed, that he had been pushed out of the world's chess game and became one of the discarded pieces.

At the meeting to form the Anti-Federation Alliance, he even had to bow down and cling to those allies whom he once treated like insects.

He was not reconciled.

"..."

Under the shadow of the golden throne, Aloi finally raised his head and looked at his father sitting on the throne.

Avada Aziz has not left the Embers Hall for a long time. He has handed over almost all the affairs of Wilkin to his son, and only gave some instructions rarely.

Looking at his father in the shadows, Aloi spoke with difficulty:

"Father, what should I do?"

"do nothing."

Avada's voice was low and hoarse, even a little distorted, causing Aloi to tremble slightly.

"But, are we just going to..."

"do nothing."

"but..."

"do nothing."

Aloi didn't say anything else. He knew that perhaps there was really nothing he could do.

The poison on the fangs of the venomous snake had faded, and the chess pieces that Aloi could control had been squandered long ago. Balza Durant, who once seemed useless, was now too much of a luxury for Aloi.

Aloi left the hall and returned to his bedroom, staring at the ceiling in silence.

His consciousness gradually faded, the shadow on the ceiling became darker, and even began to boil...

"You have a letter."

Aloi sat up suddenly, and when his eyes focused, he saw the short figure in the corner of the room.

[Black Cape] Mercury, [Blade of Babel] last place.

"You...how did you..."

"Would you like me to read it for you?" Mercury said in an emotionless voice.

"..."

Aloi looked at Mercury, who quickly calmed down and then spoke in a panic:

"Go ahead."

"Lord Laplace said that your fangs are broken and that you are of little use as a Welkin."

Mercury's voice was calm as he read out the words, while Aloi gradually clenched his fists.
