Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice's children can make holes...
Seeing Ayi Ning pointing downwards with his sword finger, and the dirt kept digging out, I always felt that his sister had been opened in the wrong way.
He is a good swordsman, but now he is digging in the soil every day.
Speaking of which, Luo Wei was not sure whether Ayi Ning was practicing swordsmanship, or whether it was more appropriate to call him Qi cultivator?
However, looking at her as if she was being forced to work, Qingli's profile with angry brows was very nice.
"I'm in."
"Okay, be gentle."
"??"
Ayi Ning glared at him and jumped down from the pit. If she wanted to dig out the ground completely, she had to go inside.
Luo Wei was watching from the side. This time was different from digging a tunnel inside the mountain. She had to come up later, so she had to leave space and throw all the soil outside.
This caused the dirt thrown up by Ayi Ning's Qi to scatter outward like water splashes.
"..."
Luo Wei was immediately sprayed in the face, not daring to look directly at the cave she dug, and drew out the magic platform to a higher place.
What Digger…
Gradually, Ayi Ning was getting farther and farther away from him, and she needed extra air control to throw the dirt out at once. Apart from the splashing dirt, Luo Wei could only confirm her condition through the brown light of the sword inside.
"Just tell me if there's anything going on."
"I found it."
Hearing the sound, Luo Wei made a rough estimate. It was probably more than a hundred meters deep.
At least the effect of the detector is currently guaranteed.
"Don't move yet, I'm coming down now."
Because she had considered bringing things out in advance, Ayi Ning did not dig the hole very narrowly.
Of course, I'm afraid I also considered that he would come together to avoid the situation of having to stick to each other in advance.
After landing on the ground with the help of the magic platform, the cave with a diameter of more than three meters looked up. The hole above seemed to be only a small dot. The bottom of the vertical cave with a depth of more than 100 meters gave people an inexplicable sense of security like a tree cave. .
Underground, a purple and silver metal ball was half-embedded there, with a diameter roughly estimated to be two meters, and a purple magical light shining on the outer wall.
"Can you tell what this is?" Ayi Ning said calmly.
"I don't know. Let's take it back to Felica for study."
Locator? Ritual converter? No matter what it was, Luo Wei had no intention of leaving it open. He took out the anti-magic wave sword without hesitation and gave it a blow.
The purple light quickly dimmed, becoming like an ordinary scrap iron shell.
"Let's rest for a while first," Luo Wei looked at Ayi Ning's slightly tired look, walked over and handed her a bottle of magic potion, "Today's consumption was a bit heavy, thank you for your hard work."
Ayi Ning took the potion and closed her eyes.
"Thank you for being able to find it. We spent several hours here," she said slowly. "Speaking of which, why are you so sure that the craftsmen will have arrangements underground in Crownless City?"
Luo Wei shrugged and looked at her, "A man and a woman live together in a cave. Is that all you want to say?"
"..."
What a hole in the same place.
Is this another topic he doesn't want to talk about?
Although I don't want to admit it, being underground does give me a sense of peace and quiet away from the outside world, and I don't have to worry about anyone disturbing me.
"If that's the case, I do have something to ask you."
While she was recovering here, if she didn't ask, she didn't know if she would have the chance or necessity to ask.
"You..." She opened her eyes, "Why did you suddenly ask me to support the Lake Elf today?"
"What do you think?" Luo Wei replied.
"I just don't know, so I'm asking you."
Luo Wei dug out the device and threw it aside. The originally spacious bottom of the cave suddenly took up a lot of space.
He walked across the mound and said, "Then let me ask you, why don't you allow Belle and others to call me brother?"
"That is……"
Ayi Ning's eyes were stunned.
"Of course...it's for my sister."
After speaking, she looked at Luo Wei with some resentment in her eyes.
"It's not because of your style. At first you just said you weren't a big house, but why do I feel that if I don't stop you, I'm afraid you won't even be ranked first?"
"In other words, if it's Vermeer and Saya, there will be no problem, right?"
"Of course, you can call me whatever you want, I can't help it."
Luo Wei nodded, "Well, when we get back, I will ask Vermeer to start calling me brother. If you hadn't said that now, I would have thought you would mind."
"..."
Ayi Ning fell silent, and Luo Wei didn't speak.
It was quiet at the bottom of the cave between the two of them.
Ayi Ning felt that maybe she shouldn't ask this question.
But why did you ask?
"I think...each identity should have its own meaning and should not be abused."
She didn't realize it until now.
Maybe it's because I finally made up my mind to accept this relationship and take it seriously, so I don't actually want to be replaced by others.
But why can't you admit it?
"You..." She didn't dare to look up at Luo Wei, "Is it because you want to accept someone else as your sister, so you...?"
Is that why you pushed me away?
She couldn't deny the connection established along the way, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a feeling of depression in her heart.
Because he didn't let others call him brother, he just pushed me away.
I……
"It's better to say it's the opposite. I said that because I didn't want my sister to be snatched away."
Ayi Ning lowered her head.
Really? It turns out he didn’t want me to be snatched away...
"……Eh?"
She raised her eyes blankly and saw self-mockery on the corner of Luo Wei's mouth.
"After all, you're doing it for your sister, right? It's like you have nothing to do with me other than that."
"That is……"
Of course she did it for her sister.
But even she couldn't deny that that wasn't the whole reason.
However, Ayi Ning didn't know why, but she felt as if there was a huge difficulty blocking her, and she couldn't express this to him directly.
"I... don't know what to say, but... I can't say it doesn't matter..."
Luo Wei saw what was blocking her.
That's probably her selfishness.
Her starting point for everything comes from her sister, and this is not false. But after spending so long together, she is the one who feels, experiences, and makes judgments about all this. Her sister is not a party involved, so how can she feel these daily moments for her.
Therefore, she can neither throw herself into them without scruples according to her own will, nor can she ignore the fact that she is the one who actually experienced them. She is in a contradictory position.
And Luo Wei naturally hopes that she can be selfish.
In fact, maybe he was jealous that she was Anaining's sister at first, but now, how could he not be able to tell the two people apart.
We have experienced so much together, including laughter, troubles, and worries. She is knowledgeable, sensible, and considerate, but she is also thoughtful and sentimental.
This clear and intelligent beauty is inherently moving.
Of course, they have traveled through time, and of course he cannot accept another man occupying her. After all, apart from their hair color, she and Anaining have almost the same appearance and body shape. If the two of them insist on living together by then, that will be really annoying. Click.
"Is it so difficult for you to admit that you are willing to be my sister?"
"I...I...I..."
Precisely because she was always in this state, Luo Wei would deliberately say sarcastic words to provoke her from time to time. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to read her inner thoughts under normal circumstances.
Now that we have the foundation to share joys and sorrows, let her gradually start to be selfish.
Luo Wei doesn't intend to force the other party to have feelings for him, but he also doesn't intend to let her go. Even if the road continues in the future, he will find ways to keep her with them.
Although a little unreasonable, Luo Wei seems to have begun to understand how to take the lead in the relationship with her.
That is companionship without an expiration date.
Ayi Ning couldn't hold back a complete sentence for a long time. She who was usually calm and composed seemed to be a little disturbed. If she said that she had nothing to do with her sister and was willing to do so, wouldn't she be... betraying her sister?
With Vermeer and the others, they can barely make sense.
But it's him after all...
"You...you just said that I was snatched away by whom?"
"Of course it's my brother-in-law who may appear at some point in the future."
Ayi Ning's eyes swayed left and right twice.
ah……?
"I have never considered this matter," she paused. "Now that my sister has found happiness, it is my greatest wish to witness this in the future."
"But you can't predict the future. What if you also want to pursue happiness? Can the person I just mentioned accept the relationship between you and me? If you mind, are you sure you won't sever the relationship with me for him? ?”
"You...what have you been thinking about..."
Ayi Ning felt that her mind was already delicate enough, why did he...this, this...
She suddenly wanted to understand why he asked himself about not letting Belle call him brother.
Maybe it's the same here.
She didn't want others to call him brother, and he didn't want anyone else to take his sister away.
Silly brother...
I was beating around the bush, but that’s what I meant...
She couldn't help laughing for a moment, feeling as if her mood was ups and downs. To put it bluntly, she didn't want her to be kidnapped. She also added so many uncertain words, as if she didn't want this person to appear...
So what you said today and just now were all meant to make me angry, right?
She smiled and suddenly felt relieved: "Anai is very cruel, but I will always take care of you for my sister. Instead of worrying about me being abducted, why not worry about how many sisters I have stopped."
This is really...
But Luo Wei still thinks that this is enough for his sister.
"Besides, if you are a brother like you, my sister will not be able to marry for a long time... No one will marry me if she wants to."
Who says no one wants it.
Luo Wei curled his lips and looked at her with a smile, "You plan to stop them all, but I don't seem to have heard you call me brother a few times?"
Ayi Ning: "..."
She looked at the person in front of her and found that it was impossible to scream when they were face to face in this atmosphere.
This is too embarrassing...
After trying a few times, she turned red and looked away in embarrassment.
"I can't shout now, let's find another way..."
Some other way.
Then Luo Wei had something to say.
He took the initiative to step forward, which was actually only one step away, and gently hugged her forward.
Ayi Ning: "..."
He didn't refuse, but he didn't cater to her either, he just stood there.
Except for the last time when Vermeer hugged them from behind, this was the first time they were hugged like this by him.
But now... it's better not to let his heart go cold, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble waiting for her to fill in the future. There is really nothing she can do about this brother.
but……
"They are conquering the phantom beasts, and it really doesn't matter if we are like this here?"
Speaking of which, why do I...
I would do this kind of thing with him in the sewer cave...
"Of course it doesn't matter. If they can't even deal with a fantasy beast, my suggestion is that everyone abandon the city and run away together. The goddess of mechanics is coming to kill them."
"..."
Ayi Ning smiled helplessly at him and sighed.
Then his eyes gradually became sharper.
"If your hands are dishonest, I will draw my sword, right?"
