Slaughter God’s Journey to Immortality - C111
I only need two fresh flowers to be on the homepage. Who’s kind enough to help me? I also want to be on the leaderboard, thanks a lot!
“That way, when my soul enters the underworld, I won’t have the face to see my parents and ancestors. Grandfather knows everything. I know he wants to stop me, but he has no other choice. The prosperity of a family is all on the shoulders of us two. He was old. Even if there was only one person left in the Howard family, he would have to endure! So, he won’t stop me. He’ll just hide in the corner and look at me with sadness in his eyes. ”
The more Vivian spoke, the more excited she became. Her face was flushed, and her chest was rising and falling rapidly. Her whole body was trembling, like a small wildflower that had been exposed to wind and rain on the edge of a cliff. Werther suddenly had a feeling that he was going to hold her in his arms and take care of her, but then he woke up and quickly extinguished the thought. He looked at her with a hint of pity in his eyes.
Vivian calmed down and continued, “There were times when I almost couldn’t hold it in and wanted to give up. But for my grandfather’s sake, for the sake of the Howard family, I must endure! Even if I was chosen by that presumptuous prince, even if Adolf the Great put too much pressure on us to marry into the royal family. But I can’t! I have to hold on! I know what I really feel. I don’t like that Karov! I don’t like his arrogant look, nor do I like his ambition to annex the entire continent. I even less like his wild and aggressive gaze when he looks at me! ”
“But more importantly, once I marry into the royal family, it would mean that the Howard Family’s bloodline would be completely severed! No more descendants will inherit the Howard family, and no one will ever remember the glory of their ancestors! ” Vivian clenched her fists, as if she were holding the whole family and her own life in her hands.
“But, it was really hard for me alone. Every day, he would be surrounded by people with all kinds of ulterior motives, facing their hypocrisy, their greed, their desire, and Karov’s endless pestering. However, all of this changed completely when I met my teacher. I am very grateful to teacher. It was she who taught me ice magic, and it was she who protected me from harm. Actually, the reason I came to Klein to participate in the Monster Competition was also at teacher’s suggestion. She said that she wanted me to make a name for myself in the competition, so that even if Caesar’s royal family wanted to do something against me, they would have to consider it carefully. ”
As Vivian spoke, she suddenly realized that she was in a strange family. The person in front of her was someone she had just met a few times. The blush on his face deepened as his face looked as if it was on fire. His heart was pounding like a fawn, “Why am I so reckless? You actually told all the secrets in your heart to this child! ”
As a child, she sneaked a glance at Werther, only to realize that this” child “was actually not small at all. He had a handsome stature, as tall as a mountain, and a resolute face that had a touch of gentleness. He had a natural freshness to him, much higher than any of the perverted butterflies she had seen in the past. Even Karov couldn’t compare to him.” His temperament seemed to be even higher than that of the crown prince, Karov! No wonder even the combined forces of Kalov and Rommel could not beat him!
Werther had been listening quietly all this time. Suddenly, he was at a loss when he saw Vivian stop talking and keep looking at him. In his previous life, although he was already over forty years old, he had only truly interacted with the opposite sex a few times, let alone being in a relationship. At this moment, when he saw a delicate woman like Vivian confiding in him, in addition to her sorrowful expression and sorrowful eyes, he felt as if a soft part of his heart had been touched.
Vivian’s face was bashful. “Werther, I’ve said so much to you from the start, you must think I’m a crazy woman, right? “Actually …” Werther quickly waved his hand. “No way!” How could that be! For you to be able to reveal the secret in your heart shows that you believe me, and I have to thank you for that. ” Vivian saw that he was at a loss and felt relieved. “You don’t have to be afraid. It’s not like you’ve done anything to let me down. I won’t hold you responsible. ” When these words came out, Werther felt even more embarrassed. Vivian herself thought this was too outrageous and cursed, “Vivian, Vivian, what a cautious lady you used to be! What if he underestimates us? ” He became anxious, and in addition to his previous agitated state, tears suddenly began to fall.
Werther didn’t dare to walk too close. He urgently asked, “Miss Vivian, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Are you angry with me? ” Vivian choked with sobs. “You’re not wrong, why should I be angry at you? I am angry with myself. ” Seeing that Werther was standing there anxiously, but didn’t have the slightest intention of coming over, he suddenly became angry in his heart. “If Karov was here, he would have definitely made use of this opportunity to get here.” It was this brat that did not have the slightest bit of thought. He was truly a fool! Sigh, he’s still a child! ”
What are you looking at?” he asked in a coquettish voice as he gently wiped away his tears. Vivian was also a strong woman, and it was a good thing that she was still standing there. She touched his heartstrings occasionally and cried a few times. Werther stared blankly, then said in a broken voice, “Let’s see if you cry or not.” “What a fool!” Vivian scolded him.
“What?” Werther didn’t react. “It’s all right!” He stood up and walked to a purple orchid. He closed his eyes and took a whiff of the fragrance. Werther looked at her long, pure white neck, then at her beautiful face that seemed intoxicated by nature. He seemed to recall something, and his face reddened. “Even if you are a child, you must lower your head to my charm!”
Thinking of this, his mood suddenly brightened. He chuckled and pulled Werther’s hand, laughing, “Come, accompany me on a tour around your garden!” The two of them were happily strolling in this elegant and unique garden. This manor originally belonged to a marquis. Because it had violated the laws of the country and had its entire clan exterminated, Klein VII casually gifted it to James. The marquis from before was a very elegant person. He had made the place very quiet and cozy, especially in this garden.
After James took over, he sent people to search for all sorts of precious flowers and herbs on the road, picked out suitable varieties, and planted them in the garden. As for Klein VII, from time to time, he would also bestow some valuable flowers and herbs. Over the past few years, Roland’s garden was already quite well-known in the aristocratic circles of the imperial city. The nobles were proud to be invited to visit Roland’s garden. Unfortunately, there were too few people who could obtain this honor.
Vivian was naturally fond of flowers and trees, and half of the reason she had brought Sophia here was to enjoy the garden and broaden her horizons. When they saw many precious plants that they were only known for not seeing, they could not help but cheer and pull Werther along, laughing and talking all the way, occasionally stroking the flowers, and sometimes being startled by the little animals hiding in the flowers.
To be honest, although this garden belonged to him, Werther had been training ever since he came to the capital. He had been training his physical body and condensing his zhen qi almost every day, without a single day of rest. He was not familiar with this garden at all. Today, when he had the chance to take a closer look, he discovered that many of the flowers inside were the most precious species on the continent. Almost every single one of them sold for a sky-high price.
It is so generous of the royal family to be my father!” “With such a great favor, I’m afraid the two princes won’t feel good about it, will they?” Staring at the girl who kept coming and going under the shade of a flower bush, looking so lively and natural, like a vivid picture scroll, Werther couldn’t help but curse in his heart, “Just a moment ago, you were still crying, but now you’ve turned into a happy little angel again.” “Women are really strange and incomprehensible animals!
The two of them spent two hours going through a large garden. At first, Werther was a little conflicted, but later, he also let go of his embrace, happily enjoying the gift from nature. Only now did he realize that he had always hoped to become stronger and be able to control his own destiny. He had already missed out on a lot of things that were worth nostalgic memories. For example, the joy of forgetting all troubles and fully enjoying life.
When Werther released his mind, feeling completely at ease and extremely relaxed, he suddenly discovered that the circulation of his true energy had gradually accelerated, and the newly produced true energy had become even purer and more peaceful. The Tree of Life rooted in his body seemed to feel its master’s happiness and love for nature. Its seven hundred and twenty branches shook together, spewing out thirty percent more Yi Mu Zhen Qi than usual and pouring into different acupuncture points.
“The Tree of Life is the seed of the World Tree. Only those who are close to nature and love nature can truly own it. In the past, I just used it as a true energy output machine, ignoring the fact that it is also a tree. It seems that refining the Spirit Root in the future will also have to change its way of thinking.” Right when Werther was carefully experiencing this transformation on his own, Vivian suddenly turned her head around, her eyes sparkling. She said with a smile, “Werther, do you know what’s going on today? Why would I give up?”
