Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Leaving
Hearing the reminder, Shichen paused while tying Fulilian's pigtails, but then continued.
His hands kept moving, but his mind became active. He didn't expect that touching hair could also be considered a form of skin contact.
Or... Shichen lowered his gaze and glanced at the place where his knee touched the outside of Fulillian's thigh.
This may be more likely.
But he remembered one more thing. When he called Fleury to get up just now, he had been in contact with her for more than a minute. Why didn't he give any prompt?
Does it not count because she is sleeping?
Shichen remembered the trust issue that the thing in his mind had mentioned before. It would be easier to show trust in him after waking up, right?
There was no need to worry too much about it, he wasn't going to touch Flillian while she was sleeping...at least not for now.
"Shichen, isn't it tied up yet?" Fulilian suddenly asked sleepily.
"It will be ready soon." Shi Chen came back to his senses and laughed: "Are you hungry?"
"Is there any problem?" Fulilian couldn't help but rub her flat belly.
"No, I'm glad you said that."
As a chef, my favorite thing is that the food I make is remembered.
"Then hurry up, my stomach is growling."
"I'll be right there."
Shichen quickly tied Fulilian's hair into two ponytails, then left the room with her and went outside.
The aroma outside was even stronger, so Fulilian came to the pot and leaned slightly towards it to smell the aroma.
"Is this the scent of mushrooms?"
"You actually smelled it." Shi Chen walked over with a smile and took off the lid of the pot.
Suddenly, the fragrance hit me in the face.
Fulilian took a deep sip before looking into the pot. Her expectant expression immediately fell.
"What is this? Mushroom porridge? Isn't this too boring?"
"What kind of feast do you want to have so early in the morning?" Shi Chen rolled his eyes at her.
"Then why are you being so secretive..."
"At least it's not rabbit soup."
"Okay..." As long as it didn't have anything to do with rabbits, Fulilian was willing to accept it.
"But where did you get this rice?"
"Master brought it back and kept it."
"Didn't you say before that there was no more?" Fulilian frowned and looked at Shichen.
Shi Chen laughed: "I just hid it."
"What? You actually hid it! And made me eat so much rabbit meat?" Fulilian was angry.
"That's all. If you finish eating early, won't you still have to eat rabbit meat? And isn't rabbit meat delicious?"
"You'll get sick of it if you eat too much! And it's different, you're lying to me!"
"So much talk? Do you want to have breakfast?"
"want..."
"That's more like it."
Shi Chen smiled and brought the whole pot into the house, enjoying breakfast with Fulilian.
After breakfast, Shichen went out to look for food again, while Fulilian still stayed at home to practice magic.
With Fulilian's magic, he could actually get more food, but Shichen had never thought of that.
After all, although he doesn't know magic, his physical fitness and stamina are not bad. With such good conditions, he must hunt by himself.
Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing.
That day, Shichen did not come back to make lunch, but came back near dark. He brought back a lot of food.
As they were about to leave, he planned to hunt more game in the next few days to store food for Fulilian.
She was so lazy that if he wasn't around, she would just do whatever she wanted as long as she could fill her stomach.
Obviously so greedy.
In this case, you also need to prepare some cooked food that is not easy to spoil and can be eaten anytime.
The rabbit jerky is pretty good.
Fulilian did not complain about Shichen coming back late, because she had finished her training long ago and slept until Shichen came back.
If it wasn't for the time to cook, she would rather lie still than eat, unless she was really starving.
The next day, Volame still didn't come back, and Shichen and Fulilian repeated their previous life as a two-person world.
Shi Chen really wanted to say goodbye to Volame. If she hadn't been willing to accept him as her apprentice, he didn't know what would have happened to him in this world.
It was basically impossible for him to follow the two of them stubbornly. If they wanted to get rid of him, they could just fly away and disappear.
At that time, there was really no response from heaven or earth.
Maybe that thing in his mind will guide him to find the fragments, but it is not certain whether he can find them in a month.
But it is also possible that the time limit is not just one month. Something in his mind seems to want him to collect the fragments quickly.
Are you so anxious to make him a god?
...
Shichen was lucky. On the evening of the fourth day, Volame came back and brought something special.
A glowing sapling.
"Master, what is this?" Looking at Volame holding the glowing sapling seeds, Shichen walked forward and asked curiously.
"Well, you can take care of our home." Volame replied with a smile.
"Our home?" Shi Chen blinked.
"Just relying on such a fragile thing?" Fulilian also came over.
"Don't underestimate it." Volame shook his head. "When this guy grows up, he will definitely be able to protect this place forever, even after a thousand years."
"A thousand years? Master and Shichen are no longer here, right?" Fulilian said calmly.
Fulilian is an elf and an immortal species. A thousand years may be a bit insignificant for her.
Shichen smiled but said nothing, but Volame looked at her tenderly: "But Fulilian, you are different."
"I can't live here forever."
"Even if this is the case, you will definitely come back here. If you are confused at that time, come here to find the answer."
"Really?" Fulilian didn't care.
"Master, plant it quickly, and then we'll have a meal together. It's been a long time since we've had a meal together."
"Okay." Volame nodded with a smile.
The sapling was planted on the slope next to the small bungalow. When it grows up, it will surely wrap around the small bungalow and protect it well.
In the evening, Shichen made a sumptuous rabbit stew, and everyone enjoyed it very much, except Fulilian.
Because she was not very happy with the meal, after finishing it, Fulilian went back to her room to sleep. Although she was the oldest, she was the most childish.
Shichen and Fulame looked at her back and shook their heads in amusement.
When Fulilian entered the room, Shichen's smile faded, he looked at Volame and said, "Master, can I tell you something later?"
"Oh? Sure." Volame nodded with a smile.
After that, Shichen cleaned up the dishes and went outside with Volame.
The sky has been invaded by the night, the moon hangs in the night sky, and the stars dot the black. The dazzling night looks very mysterious.
Great for confession.
Shichen walked a little distance away from the small bungalow before he lay down. Volame came to his side and stopped.
"Shichen, do you have anything to tell me?" she asked.
Shi Chen looked up at the sky and replied calmly: "Master, I plan to leave for a while."
"leave?"
"Well, I'm going to look for a way for me to learn magic."
"Really? Then go ahead." Volame smiled gently.
"Huh? Master let me go just like that?" Shi Chen tilted his head and looked at her in confusion.
"What? You don't want to leave?"
"I don't want to go...but I have to go."
"That's all right, isn't it?"
"Well... Master, please at least keep me for a while. Why do I feel like you don't care about me?"
"You are my disciple, how could I not care...even though it's a bit lame."
"Master, isn't that sentence a bit redundant?" Shi Chen couldn't help but complain: "I can't help it."
"Haha~ I believe you can find a way." Volame looked at Shichen with a gentle smile.
"Master, do you have so much confidence in me?"
"After all, you are not ordinary."
"master..."
"It's okay. You don't have to confess to me. I just know that you are willing to take me as your master."
Fu La Mei reached out his hand, patted Shi Chen's head, and then said: "When I first saw you, I felt that you were extraordinary. You have a special temperament... It's amazing. At that time, I actually felt that you were more powerful than my master."
"Master's master?"
Shichen naturally knows that person.
"She's amazing." Speaking of her master, Volame was a little proud: "I'll take you to see her when I have the chance."
"good."
"Aren't you going to talk to Fulilian?" Volame asked again.
"Talk to her tomorrow."
"We're leaving tomorrow."
"Yes."
"Then as your master, I think I can only wish you good luck."
"Thank you, Master."
The next day, Shichen simply told Fulilian that he was going to hunt somewhere far away, made her some delicious food, and left.
Anyway, I can come back, so there is no need to confess to her.
And Fulilian didn't doubt it and was very happy that she finally didn't have to eat rabbit meat.
Shichen didn't take anything with him. After he left their home and came to the forest, he disappeared.
