"Come on, have a taste."
Six cups of tea were placed on the table in front of everyone. Jiao Zhengyu gently waved his hand to stir up the white smoke rising from the tea in front of her. A wisp of aroma entered her nose, making her lean back and reveal a satisfied smile on her lips.
"Parades green tea comes from Gaotianyu, a new tea in early spring this year."
She took a sip, nodded slightly, and looked at Raphael across the table.
"Its Chinese name is 'Heaven'. It has a fragrant aroma, a slightly bitter taste but a sweet aftertaste. It is the best tea in Asia."
"Only a very small number of finished products are in the subcontinent, and most of them are only circulated in the High Sky Region."
"You and Valentine's descendants are very filial. They send some here every year, even if it's just me."
Hearing Jiao Zhengyu's words, Raphael frowned slightly, but said nothing.
She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then quickly put it down.
"How about it?"
The girl raised her head and looked into those gorgeous purple eyes.
"fine."
Just like Jiao Zhengyu said just now, this tea is indeed good.
Although Raphael is not proficient in tea art, he has been drinking red flower tea for a year, and the taste difference is still obvious.
After receiving a positive response, Jiao Zhengyu nodded with satisfaction, sat on the sofa and slowly sipped tea, entering her little world.
She has no consciousness of being a maid at all, even though she is still wearing Valentine's custom-made maid uniform.
There's nothing we can do about it.
The former maid Jiao Zhengyu completely obeyed Valentine's orders because she was a creation of the Creator God.
But when Jiao Zhengyu from the world of Terra came into this body, the relationship between them changed, from master and servant to friend, and even further.
Valentine can't blame the current Jiao Zhengyu, not only because of her deus ex machina soul, but also because of the things he did with her for such a long time.
This maid is probably the only person in Asia that he feels he owes something to.
"cough."
In the end it was Raphael who broke the awkward calm. She looked at Valentine and asked:
"What exactly did you want to say by calling us here?"
The tea in front of the girl was still warm. After just one sip, I forgot it existed.
Xing Yihuang's behavior was the same as the previous few days. He didn't seem to be paying attention to the people attending the party, and he was sipping the tea in his cup.
But when Raphael asked that question, her movements slowed down a bit.
For a moment, everyone's attention was on Valentine.
Except for the maid who was drinking tea.
“Nature is the solution.”
Valentin glanced at the girls around him, and finally met the angel's eyes.
Although he didn't explain it in detail, everyone knew what the "problem" was referring to.
The conflict between past life love and current life love.
"Do you understand 'entropy increase'?"
Valentine did not directly tell his plan, but first raised a question.
The world of Terra is a civilization dominated by Originium technology. Although it looks magical, there is still scientific development.
The maturity level of astronomy is roughly the same as that of the earth, and concepts such as planets and stars also exist.
"Entropy increase refers to a spontaneous development process from order to disorder."
Raphael was well-read and had an answer in an instant.
"But..."
She frowned.
"What does it have to do with today's topic?"
"Of course."
Valentine nodded and drank the tea in front of him.
And when he put the empty cup on the table, tea immediately filled it and the temperature was just right.
"In a sense, entropy increase is closely related to time."
"As time flows forward, the entropy in the universe continues to increase."
"They won't go back, they won't stop, unless there are unreasonable ones."
When Valentine made this explanation, Raphael vaguely understood something, but there was only a vague idea, not exact.
"Time magic exists in Asia, and the most famous one is 'All Things Return to Silence', a legendary magic."
Valentine snapped his fingers, and a book appeared on the table, just enough for everyone to see the contents clearly.
It was an event-based magic book, and the page that was opened happened to record "All things return to silence."
"In addition to this, there is also the magic of reversing time and accelerating it."
Following his words, the magic book flipped its pages, as if it came alive.
"But these magics are basically aimed at certain specific items or people, allowing them to reproduce their previous state, or tricking their nerves and accelerating their movements."
Subjective slowdown.
The same is true for Mastima's Origin Stone skill. Time essentially flows forward without any change.
"But you are the god of this world..."
Razer touched his chin.
"So I can actually speed up time."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into silence.
Jiao Zhengyu had finished his tea tasting time and was so bored that he started playing with the cup.
The teacup rotated rapidly on her fingertips, and the gorgeous patterns on it were drawn into arcs.
"You mean..."
Raphael already knew Valentin's plan, but still couldn't be sure.
"I will speed up the flow of time in the subcontinent and shorten the time between myself and Chen Le from decades to a few days."
"Of course, this 'few days' is for you."
Valentine stretched out his index finger and drew a circle.
"The flow of time around Walden Pond is still normal, and your life here will not have any impact."
That was his plan, a best-of-both-worlds solution.
The little fox will not find out that her boyfriend is a scumbag, and their life is still happy between them.
The four Raphaels don't need to wait for a long time. Valentin will come back in a few days and follow them back to the world of Terra.
Walden Pond is the high heaven of the subcontinent, the paradise on the ground.
They will never feel uncomfortable living here.
You’ve made it through a year, but the last few days are still not going well?
"Then why don't you go faster, like passing decades in one second?"
Franka gave full play to her argumentative spirit and raised her hand to ask questions.
Valentin looked at her for two seconds and sighed.
"Because God is not omnipotent."
The longer Valentin lives in the Asian continent, the clearer he understands himself.
There is no problem in accelerating time and going backwards, but there is a limit after all.
The ratio of days to tens or hundreds of years is already extremely exaggerated, and this is also the result of Valentin using his abilities to the extreme.
Allowing the outside world to pass nearly a hundred years in one second would probably evaporate him in an instant.
After a brief explanation, everyone expressed understanding.
But the exchange wasn't over yet.
"actually……"
Raphael glanced at Xing Yihuang beside him, paused, and seemed to be having a psychological struggle.
But soon, she made up her mind and said the rest.
"You can tell her clearly that Yihuang and I..."
"acceptable."
The angel's voice was soft, but everyone could hear it.
Jiao Zhengyu stopped, held the tea cup in his hand, and looked at Valentine with interest.
Xing Yihuang nodded.
She agreed with Raphael.
"Can you accept..."
Valentine wiped his face, his voice slightly sad.
"But she can't."
