Famous dish: Candied peaches.
However, this famous dish did not last long. In just a moment, Fane's fingers were covered with frost, and then all the water on them was frozen, shattered, and finally turned into ice dust and disappeared.
I know the teacher is open-minded, but this is too open. Xiaona almost instinctively lowered her head.
Lissandra on the side seemed unconcerned. She glanced at Faan, then rode the Black Ice balance bike in front of Shauna.
Compared to Ashe, Lissandra's aura was even more powerful. Her commanding presence made Shauna feel slightly pressured.
"do not be afraid."
Lissandra said calmly and indifferently, "Ashe has a gentle temperament and will consider other people's acceptance. But I won't. In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before you become Faan's plaything."
"No, I just want revenge now."
Xiaona felt that she couldn't just keep giving in.
In response, Lissandra raised her hand, and then a ray of ice lifted Shauna up, making her look at Lissandra at eye level.
Feeling Lissandra's gaze, Shauna mustered up the courage to look up and look back firmly.
Lissandra didn't care, she just waved her hand gently, and then Xiaona felt a chill in her abdomen. Looking down, her flat belly was exposed to the air.
A hint of shame and anger flashed in her eyes, and Xiaona suddenly closed the thick fabric to cover her exposed lower abdomen.
Lissandra, however, appeared somewhat surprised. Facing Shauna's slightly hostile gaze, she waved her hand lightly, revealing her abdomen. It was smooth and flat, with a pink, scale-like mark, corresponding to an internal organ while also silently declaring ownership in a special situation.
"Enjoy your freedom. When you, like my pathetic sister, willingly bear this blasphemous mark, you will have no dignity in front of Faan."
"objection!"
Fain retorted dissatisfiedly: "I never force her!"
"Ah."
There was a hint of disdain in Lissandra's voice.
-
There should be two more updates.

Chapter 20 Pick a Lucky Demon.
Lissandra didn't care about Faan's objection. She just straightened her clothes and turned away.
"Go about your business. Don't take up too much of Alola's time. We still need to continue our research in the spiritual realm."
"Okay~"
Faan nodded, then took out a diary and handed it to Allura: "This is a priest's summary of his experience in chasing demons. Can you find a better way to track demons?"
Upon hearing this, Allura's eyes lit up. She enthusiastically accepted the Demon Hunter's Notes from Faan. After glancing at them for a moment, a hint of surprise crossed her face, and she subconsciously fell into deep thought. The speed with which she had transformed from a lustful bunny to an academic and research-oriented one was astonishing.
After reading for about ten minutes straight, Allura took a deep breath and said with great interest, "This is a very interesting topic! Further investigation could greatly increase our understanding of the spiritual realm... Well, it wouldn't be difficult if we just found a way to track it."
As she spoke, Allura also raised her head and said happily: "You're welcome, leave it to me!"
As she said this, Allura leaned in front of Faan. Faan hugged Allura and gave her a loving kiss: "Good Alora! You are worthy of being our most powerful spiritual master!"
"Hehe, I haven't reached the level of a master yet~"
Although she said this, Allura's voice was clearly filled with joy.
Landing back on the ground, Allura's big eyes lit up as she said excitedly, "Then when the research results come out, can we be super, super happy? Together with Ashe and the others!"
Looking at the rabbit wagging its tail like a dog, Faan nodded excitedly: "Of course I have no problem! We'll see if Ashe and Sejuani have time!"
"Hooray! I'm off to do my research then. Bye!"
"Goodbye~"
Looking at Allura turning around, waving at him, and then leaving with her big tail wagging, Faan nodded contentedly, and then said to Xiaona beside him: "Okay, the things have been delivered, and we have met the people. Let's prepare to go back."
"Ah...ah!"
After hearing what Fain said, Xiaona was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses. She nodded hurriedly and said, "Then, let's go?"
"Ah."
Faan nodded, and then the magic book behind him began to build a portal directly back to Demacia.
As the portal began to be built, Xiao Na on the side seemed to remember something and was slightly stunned. Then a hint of restraint appeared between her brows, but she did not say it out of some concern.
Seeing this, Faan also said: "What's wrong? Is there anything you want to say?"
"Uh... um."
Xiaona nodded and said, "It's about Frey... and Lissandra... Master's Wife."
When addressing Lissandra as "Master's Wife," Shawna's tone was somewhat complex. However, Fane understood Shawna's complexities and did not comment too much. Instead, he spoke directly to the air: "No, what do you think?"
Looking at Faan, who was speaking to the air, Shauna was also puzzled. But then Faan explained, "Lissandra has lived in the Freljord for thousands of years. Nothing in this land is completely beyond Lissandra's control. Especially since Icecrown Citadel is Lissandra's territory. Here, everything you say and do will be reflected directly in her eyes."
Upon hearing this, Xiaona's eyes widened slightly, and she was shocked.
While Runeterra boasts many powerful individuals, in reality, if you must count the truly powerful, there are only a handful per region. More often than not, so-called heroes are merely ordinary people with unique lives and special powers. Darius's achievements are even greater than many heroes could ever hope to achieve. Whether in individual combat prowess, war coordination, or fortress sieges, he ranks among the top.
In this case, Darius also arrived in Freljord and was just a roadside...
Not to mention Farn, in the original timeline, even Sejuani could capture Noxus with just the Winter Claw of the Horde... In this case, for Shauna, Lissandra's power is really beyond imagination.
But then, Xiaona reacted.
It wasn't just Lissandra, but Lissandra and her sisters, all wives of their master. They even left a mark unique to their master in that shameful place... The power of the master...
Noticing Xiaona's doubtful gaze, Faan shrugged and said, "Don't look at me. I can't beat Lissandra. She's incredibly powerful, both in willpower and strength."
Lissandra, who was watching remotely, raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, but then it disappeared, as if it had never appeared, and gave a cold response.
After hearing Lissandra's cold answer, Faan nodded and then said to Shauna beside him: "Lissandra doesn't know Frey."
Xiaona: "..."
She opened her mouth in confusion, but then Xiaona sighed with a complicated expression.
If you think about it carefully, it’s not that bad…
Before, Shauna thought that Frey and Lissandra were mortal enemies, or that Frey had mastered some method to kill Lissandra, a method that was like a hanging blade or a sword of Damocles.
But after actually meeting Lissandra, Shauna could clearly feel the gap between Frey and Lissandra... This was even greater than the gap between herself and Frey when she first met Frey.
Whether in terms of strength or power, Frey is probably no match for Lissandra.
Although it may sound strange to say this, open your eyes and look at this icy fortress that stretches above the bottomless abyss, that vast ocean of books piled high with ancient tomes, that giant icy beast that seems ready to break free at the mere sound of a command...
Lissandra, you probably hadn't even heard of Frey before this, had you? Let alone considered her an enemy to be taken seriously... Not to mention an enemy who was, if anything, a threat, at least.
And the threat that Frey could pose to Lissandra...
Sighing, Xiaona didn't know how to describe her current mood.
"Let's go, let's go, don't think too much."
Fain patted Xiaona's butt and said with a smile:
"Although you still have resistance in your heart, you've been able to control yourself and accept the existence of magic. This shows your progress!"
"OK, all right."
Xiaona nodded belatedly, then said, "Teacher, where should we go next?"
"Let's practice on a demon first! Maybe we can get some information."
As he spoke, Fain took Xiaona's hand and walked into the portal.
After entering the portal, Xiaona nodded.
After a while, he suddenly frowned - did the teacher take it for granted that he should not have been patted?
-
That’s all, that’s all, go to sleep, go to sleep.

Chapter 21: Fosbury behind the scenes.
Lying on the bed, Lux was covered with a blanket that was quite warm.
Her golden hair was still bright, but her face had somehow taken on a paler hue. As if she were having some horrible nightmare, Lux twisted and turned in her sleep, her pristine white feet clasped tightly together as she lay in bed, rubbing against the pillow, leaving distinct wrinkles on the otherwise pristine sheets.
“Ugh… Ugh, ah!!”
Lux woke up with a scream.
Her heart was beating wildly, her breathing was rapid, her face and body were covered in cold sweat, and her mind was filled with terrifying memories.
In the nightmare, she was dragged underground by sharp, curved claws, painful blades piercing her flesh, tearing her flesh apart with terrifying, vicious laughter. Rotting mud poured into her mouth and nose, and the endless darkness seemed to bury her light forever.
Lux gasped and clutched the bed sheet, as if trying to squeeze out the remaining image. She desperately hoped someone would come and save her. A brother? Or another warrior from the Fearless Vanguard?
They were indeed brave, but Lux didn't want to face them. She couldn't even reveal the secrets in her heart. Suddenly, a figure appeared in Lux's mind, but she shook her head and stopped thinking.
Perhaps Mr. Faan could understand the pressure that a person with magic would have to bear in this country, but Mr. Faan was the War Marshal of Freljord, and it was impossible for him to be asked to set foot on the territory of Demacia for such a small matter.
Lux felt a little regretful, but she was more concerned with the complexities of her identity running counter to Demacia's traditions. She felt she should do something, but she had no idea how...
As she pondered, the shadows gradually receded from the edges of Lux's vision, and a sour, milky taste filled her mouth. Lux knew it was the sign of lingering magic. She extended her hand, and light naturally condensed into a ball, illuminating the room, dispelling the darkness and driving away the last vestiges of nightmare. As the magic was released, Lux felt a warmth flood her body, and even her skin, slightly pale from the long, continuous nightmares, was illuminated by the light, taking on a rainbow halo.
Suddenly, Lux heard footsteps on the stairs outside the hallway. She clenched her fists nervously. The ball of light dissipated, leaving only the sun outside the window illuminating the room. As the light and magic faded, the familiar pain returned. This time, Lux didn't dare to use magic to dispel it. Instead, she pressed her hands against her head, as if trying to banish the horrific image and memories.
But no matter how hard she tried, as soon as Lux closed her eyes, all she could recall was the sour smell of mud and the vague darkness, which kept wrapping and squeezing her, making her feel invisible suffocation.
As she struggled, a door opened nearby. A nun about Lux's age poked her head out and looked at her worriedly. Although her face was equally pale and haggard, she still asked with concern, "Are you okay, Lux?"
"I...I'm fine..."
Lux took a breath, then looked at the nun beside her and said, "How about you, Kashina? How was your rest?"
"It's okay, but I'm an Illuminator Knight after all, so my physical fitness needs to be a little better."
The girl named Kashina replied with a smile.
Although Kahina said this and tried her best to cover it up, Lux could feel that Kahina was not in good condition either, and she just said this because she didn't want to make herself worry.
"Sister Pernilla has prepared the meal, come down and eat."
Kashina said.
Hearing this, Lux forced a smile, then stood up, put on her coat, and went downstairs to the kitchen of the temple.
Although Demacia is a monarchy, it also has its own beliefs. The history of its beliefs can be traced back to the Rune Wars, when evil mages retreated to the Forbidden Stone Forest and people struggled to survive. It was during this most difficult time that the Sisters of Fate were born and raised in Demacia.
As they grew older, a flaming sword fell from the sky and split in two before the sisters. The eldest, Kayle, took up the Blade of Justice, bringing justice to all evil and injustice. Morgana, the youngest, took up the Sword of Shadow, offering a chance for repentance to all who repented, bringing mercy and compassion.
Later, due to a war, the two sisters broke apart. Kayle returned to the heavens of Mount Targon and headed for the other side of the skylight, while Morgana bound her own wings and ran for the weak.
These sisters became the Winged Guardians of Demacia and the Veiled Lady, representing legal justice and human compassion, respectively. However, over time, this religion gradually became a charitable organization, responsible for charity, relief, and mobilization in times of war.
When she arrived at the restaurant, although Lux had no appetite due to her sour stomach, she still had a piece of bread and butter for breakfast in order to have enough energy.
As she took a bite, her mouth was filled with a sour, rotten smell, like damp grave soil. This made Lux instinctively vomit and push her breakfast aside.
"It's obvious that you are still trapped in a nightmare."
Sister Pernilla came over and sat down at the table. This kindly middle-aged woman had dark eye bags and her skin looked like dust in the pale morning light.
Before, Lux had been puzzled as to why the elder sister had become so emaciated. But after two days here... just two days, Lux understood. Constantly struggling and persevering in nightmares, not only had she lost Sister Pernilla, but even her heroic brother had begun to look exhausted.
"I feel that a terrible evil has come over Fosbury..."
Lux sighed and said, "Just like the legend, the demon who fell off the cliff."
After hearing what Lux said, Sister Penile nodded in agreement.
Lux's great-grandfather, Fossian, died here. Legend has it that he fell from the cliffs alongside a terrifying demon. Even as he fell, his great-grandfather refused to give up the fight, desperately piercing the demon's fetid, black heart with a Demacian steel sword. As a result, Lux's great-grandfather was mortally wounded, ultimately transforming into a tomb standing tall on the cliff's edge.
And now, without a doubt, the demon has returned... the demon that devours all beauty and drains all energy in sleep has returned. But, how can we defeat this terrible monster?
Lux's eyes were filled with confusion.
But at this moment, the door on the side was suddenly pushed open.
