I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

It can be said that the hearts of this whole family are now captured by a certain Sakta girl.

It's sad, but we have to admit that from the fragments' own perspective, they really owe Tao too much.

This is true for both the youngest sister's gluttony and the eldest sister's gluttony.

Chapter 119: Family Council/Ekaros: Will win.

But silence can't solve all problems after all.

The fragments present all knew this in their hearts. Even in private, several fragments who had a good relationship with each other had already discussed the contents of the "dream".

But now that everyone has gathered together, no one dares to be the first to speak.

But wasting time like this is not a good idea.

Therefore, the steaming food on the table gradually began to lose its temperature in the dead silence.

As the eldest brother of the group, Zhongyue, who had been holding his breath, finally decided to fulfill his obligations as the eldest brother of the Fragment family.

So Zhongyue decided not to remain silent anymore.

He opened his eyes, which had been closed since the atmosphere at the table fell silent.

The moment the orange-red eyes opened, it seemed as if an invisible aura spread throughout the small room, faintly forming a wave of energy that belonged only to a martial arts master.

This caused all the silent fragments present to focus their attention on this big brother.

At this moment, Zhongyue glanced at his brothers and sisters who were looking at him expectantly. After exhaling a breath of turbid air, he slowly said in a deep voice,

"Now that things have come to this, let's eat first. The food is almost cold. Don't waste Shu's kindness."

Picking up the neatly placed dishes and chopsticks on the table, Zhong Yue's words left the fragments speechless for a moment. This was far from what they expected to hear.

However, since Zhongyue had already spoken, it was difficult for the fragments to refuse. Moreover, just one look at the sumptuous meal on the table showed that a lot of Shu's effort had been wasted.

Therefore, the fragments all picked up their bowls and chopsticks at the same time, and started eating after Zhongyue took the first bite.

But anyone could see that the whole family of Fragments who were eating were not paying attention to the meal at all, including Zhongyue and Shu who cooked the whole table of rice.

Perhaps he could see that everyone's minds were not on the matter of eating, so after a brief mental preparation, Zhongyue suddenly added,

"As for the matter of Tao... After today, let's all explore it together in the Great Yan Territory. After that, I will ask my friends in the court to help pay attention to related matters."

"Let's leave this matter as it is for now."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence for a while.

But after the silence, the originally dead silent atmosphere at the scene quickly became relaxed like melting snow in spring.

Even the food on the table disappeared much faster.

It even made Wang, who had been in a jade-like state, regain some of his spirit. He bowed to Zhongyue and praised him, "Brother, this is a good idea!"

Upon hearing this, although Chongyue couldn't help but frown because of Wang's previous words and what he did in the dream, after thinking about the other party's madness and nature that he wanted to make up for in the dream, he didn't say much and nodded as a response to Wang's words.

And if everyone here communicates once or twice, it will not be difficult to do it again and again.

So after Wang finished speaking, Nian, who was not very impatient to begin with, also spoke up with a smile.

"Since my elder brother is ready to help, then I, as his younger sister, should also try my best, right?"

"I plan to leave Dayan for a while, and then go to Longmen to take a look, and look for Tao. I don't think those old guys in Simuitai will stop me."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Upon hearing this, Zhongyue nodded at Nian and gave him a few words of advice. He was quite relieved about his sister.

In addition, the current situation is quite special.

Therefore, Chongyue did not intend to stop it, and even planned to help secretly to prevent Simuitai from getting stuck in the process and wasting time.

After Chongyue, Wang and Nian expressed their opinions, the other fragments present also expressed their plans one after another. Basically, they used their relationships when necessary and used their authority when necessary.

Except for Xi who was hesitant to speak due to his personality, all the fragments expressed their attitudes.

Wang even wanted to split off another 'chess piece' from his body to go outside of Dayan and circle Terra to look for news about Tao.

However, this idea was finally rejected by Zhongyue. It was not that Zhongyue did not agree with it, but that doing so would cause an internal explosion in Simuitai and would also create diplomatic pressure on Dayan, so it would be better not to do so unless it was absolutely necessary.

Although Shu also wanted to do something, he thought that the evil spirits in the underground of Dahuang City still needed to be suppressed by him, and the people of Dahuang City also needed his help.

Responsibility still overcame the vague feeling she had for Tao in her dream, but she also decided to find a way to ask the officials she knew to keep an eye on it.

So, after the fragments gathered together for a rare occasion, they unified their attitudes and ideas and decided to start looking for clues related to Tao in the territory of Dayan.

Although all the fragments knew that this might be a futile effort, they would truly regret it if they did not go looking for Tao.

However... after the fragments finished their meal and separated again.

On a small path leading to a hidden forest outside the Great Wilderness City, Xi, who had remained silent at the dinner table and only occasionally agreed with a few words, finally unfolded the painting that she had been holding in her hands and kept in a vague state through special means.

I saw that, at the moment when the scroll was opened, a beautiful girl suddenly stood in it, surrounded by people, with a gentle and beautiful smile, graceful and elegant, like a poem or a painting, so beautiful that it was beyond words, and lifelike, as if the next second this beautiful girl with silver hair and gorgeous robes with dragon horns would walk out of the scroll and gently hug Xi at this moment.

Even though Xi had viewed this painting tens of thousands of times within a week, he was still slightly mesmerized. He unconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the girl's face, but in the end he only touched the texture of the painting.

Inexplicably, a desire for destruction rose from Xi's heart, causing her to clench her fists. Her eyes dimmed for a moment, but in the next moment she returned to normal because she was worried about accidentally damaging the painting.

However, that inexplicable emotion continued to grow and sprout in Xi's heart, accumulating deep in her heart and turning into an invisible spider web that bound her heart.

"Huh... I don't know if you exist or not, and why you are so nice to me 'over there'."

"But, since you've made a promise, you should keep it both publicly and privately, right?"

"Well, at least before I get tired,... I really want to see with my own eyes what kind of person can allow 'me' to create a scroll of this level."

"...Don't let me down, Miss Tao."

Stroking the face of the girl in the painting, who looked like a living thing, his fingertips covered with green lines gently stroked the girl's face in the painting until her snow-white neck and lips.

Xi whispered softly, and the clear and ethereal voice seemed inexplicably creepy at this moment.

Especially when she said the last sentence, a hint of possessiveness and a hint of morbidity flashed in Xi's orange-red eyes, which she herself was not even aware of.

There was even a flash of blood-red light in her beautiful eyes.

It's like a predator who has set his sights on his prey, or like a madman who wants to find the person he loves again after losing him and imprison him for life.

However, if that’s all, then it’s not a big problem.

After all, no matter how morbid Xi's true feelings are now, if he can't find Tao, that is, Ikaros in reality, then this feeling is useless.

But... maybe the other fragments have not yet found a way to be consumed.

But Xi, that's not the case...

You know, this painting not only carries the love and affection of 'Xi' in the dream, but also carries a little bit of the girl's thoughts.

Coincidentally, the scroll in Xi's hand now perfectly reproduces everything in the scroll in the dream.

The feeling was very vague, but after a week of settling down, Xiye still managed to follow the vague feeling and find the direction where Tao was now.

After Xi half-closed his eyes and once again fixed the direction of the vague breath in his heart, he opened his eyes again and looked towards the distant direction of Ratland.

"I'll be the first one to find you, sister."

"And then... by then, I think you will never leave me again."

Talking softly to himself, Xi couldn't help but smile slightly, but the depths of his eyes were dark and heavy.

Mixed with an emotion called desire, it was as if I had crossed the distance of time and space and saw the girl named Ikaros who was unaware of all this.

After leaving behind a freehand ink-painted avatar to stay at home in his place to cover up his whereabouts, Xi changed his direction and began his journey to find and monopolize Tao in the direction of Lateran.

This desire to monopolize Tao was actually the fundamental reason why Xi remained silent in front of everyone and kept this important information secret.

Although it is not yet clear whether I have fallen in love with Taobao.

But Xi, who had been lonely and afraid for years longer than the ones in her dreams, knew very well that she was longing for the peace of mind and warmth that Tao brought her no matter what.

So, she decided to become a humble woman.

The only reason why he chose to keep this information to himself and rush ahead was because of this.

To be honest, Xi wasn't sure what his feelings towards Tao would be like after he really found her, nor was he very clear about what his current feelings towards Tao were.

But just like a dandelion seed that is blown by the wind, you never know where its destination will be.

Xi just needs to persist, to search, to wait, and to embrace.

Then time will naturally give her the answer she wants deep in her heart...

-------------------------------------

On the other hand, things are starting to flourish in Kazdel.

When Dayan was preparing to start joint hunting.

Over here in Lateran, our Ikaros has suffered a lot!

It was a happy thing to receive a reward for completing the simulation in the morning. It was also a joy to be visited by my childhood sweetheart after I dressed myself up. It was also extremely gratifying that Luciana's mother's leg had healed.

But why…why did the three joys added together not bring triple happiness, but the bad news that Luciana’s mother was planning to run back to Kazdel!!!

Isn't this typical toilet lighting behavior?!

No wonder Arturo stopped doing her job today and ran straight to her house to find her.

Who wouldn't be anxious?!

But don't let Ekaros know which little jerk is fooling his mother Luciana. Otherwise, if Ekaros finds out, he will definitely pull that person's hat off and beat his face until it is swollen, and turn that person into Terra Blaster!

Muttering to himself, Icarus quickly put on his shoes, walked out of the porch and the door, and walked towards the villa of the Majilo family not far away with Arturo, who looked a little anxious.

Before using the key to open the door, Arturo looked at Ekalos, who was a little angry, with some concern, although he knew that his mother would be more restrained if Ekalos was around.

But Arturo thought of the many accidents her mother had encountered over the years. She was conflicted and hesitant, but she still looked at Ekalos and spoke with a hint of uneasiness and request:

"Please, Ikaros, you must stop my mother."

"At least... let her recover completely from her injuries. And I'm really worried about what will happen to Mom in Kazdel..."

"Shh, stop talking, Arturo, I will win. I won't let Mama Luciana go to such a dangerous place, I promise."

Before Arturo, who was becoming more and more excited, could continue speaking, Ekalos put his finger on his lips to stop him from continuing.

The silver-haired girl looked extremely firm and serious, and her gentle and soft voice seemed particularly reassuring under the girl's seriousness at this moment. A look, a word, and an expression calmed Arturo, who was originally nervous and in pain because of the conflict between his own beliefs and his unwillingness to let his loved ones take risks.

Her inner anxiety and pain also lessened a lot, and then she seemed to want to get Ikaros's reassuring answer again.

Arturo took a deep breath, looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him who was slightly shorter than him, and asked seriously again,

"Ikaros, will you win?"

Ekalos chuckled and nodded when she heard this. As for Luciana's mother, she was naturally able to easily control it from beginning to end.

Therefore, the answer is self-evident.

"You will win, Arturo."

"After all, I am one of Mother Luciana's favorite children."

And looking at Ekaros who is so confident.

Arturo also gradually put his heart at ease. After all, with Ekalos's guarantee, Arturo was willing to believe that the other party could definitely persuade his mother.

After all, Ikaros had never broken his promise to her.

So, it must be possible this time too.

Well, that should be possible...right?

However, when Arturo looked at Icarus's confident back, she felt a little uneasy for some reason, and even her inner thoughts hesitated for a moment.

But in the end, out of trust in Ekalos, Arturo finally regarded this uneasiness as an unnecessary concern.

After all, she was willing to always believe in Ikaros, no matter when and where.

And this is enough...

Chapter 120: I'm so sorry for not letting Mother Luciana have fun...

But it was obvious after Ikaros said those words and made those promises.
