I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Under the scrutinizing eyes of the old grandmother like a searchlight, the "convicted" Pei Xiang couldn't refuse the proposal to present flowers to the statue of her boyfriend every day, so she had to agree with a smile on the surface and tears in secret.

Next came the family banquet. Pei Xiang got to know the beautiful and desolate elder brother-in-law from the elves and the arrogant and domineering second brother-in-law from another rich sea country, and then received a very generous meeting gift.

In addition, although His Majesty Hubert seldom spoke, he who always liked to stay in the study room did not leave today from the beginning to the end.Ever since Pei Xiang stepped into the Mermaid King's Palace, he has been with everyone, listening carefully to the conversation between the old grandmother and her daughter and son-in-law.

At the end of the family banquet, His Majesty Hubert gently rubbed Pei Xiang's hair, and said solemnly:

"When you sisters were 20 years old, you all had the opportunity to enter the treasure house of the palace to choose a birthday gift, but you missed that opportunity. Amy, I will not make an exception for you to open the treasure house again, and then let you choose My favorite treasure, this can be regarded as my punishment for running away from home."

Pei Xiang nodded without any objection, and secretly sighed that His Majesty Hubert couldn't bear to really punish his little daughter after all, so he found such a perfunctory way of punishment.

However, as soon as she had such an idea, His Majesty Hubert took a sea-blue water-attribute magic gemstone from the scepter. He raised his hand slightly, and let the gemstone fly into Pei Xiang's palm.

"This is a gift to welcome you home, Amy. I found that you have already started to practice the magic of the mermaid clan, which is very good. Keep working hard, and if you don't understand something, you can ask the elders for advice."

Holding the sapphire with strong magic elements, Pei Xiang showed a big and bright smile to His Majesty Hubert with serious temperament.

She knew that this sapphire inlaid on the king's scepter was relatively rare, and it was no less precious than other collections in the treasury. Moreover, this high-quality magic gemstone happened to be what she needed most at this time.

"Thank you, Dad," Pei Xiang hugged the soft-hearted old father, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself in the future, and I will work hard to improve my strength."

After saying the promise, Pei Xiang cast magic in front of His Majesty Hubert to conjure up a magic gold necklace with complicated and exquisite patterns, and then inlaid the sapphire in his hand on the pendant of the necklace.

"Dad, can you put this necklace on for me?"

His Majesty Hubert nodded slightly with relief in his eyes.

The little girl's magic just now seems simple, but she can calmly change such an exquisite necklace out of thin air in a short period of time. The control of magic power is already very delicate.Maybe there is still insufficient magic power accumulation, but the understanding of the essence of magic is very thorough.

"Continue to look for shortcomings, and don't be complacent." His Majesty the King instructed his daughter while putting on a necklace.

Pei Xiang listened humbly, his eyebrows and eyes curved.

At the same time, the skill she showed also attracted the attention of several sisters and brothers-in-law.The expressions of the sisters were all surprised, joyful or distressed, but the eyes of the two brothers-in-law looking at Pei Xiang changed a lot.At this time, they finally no longer just regard her as a little girl who is not very sensible, because both the elves and the sea people sincerely advocate strength, and the strong are respected.

Saying goodbye to her family, Pei Xiangyou returned to the residence belonging to the little princess Amy. When passing by the small garden, she stopped in front of the marble statue of a handsome man with a rather tangled expression.

"Esfar, do you want to be presented with flowers by me every day?"

Asfar thought silently, red rose?It feels okay...

Pei Xiang, who didn't hear Asfar's answer and thought the other party was also embarrassed, continued:

"If I have to give you flowers every day, I don't think I will be able to treat you as a boyfriend who can kiss and hug at will."

Esfar said lightly: "There's no need to worry about this, Lilahart will not paint a portrait or carve a sculpture for me at will, he dare not."

Hearing this, Pei Xiang's eyes turned slightly, and he guessed:

"Can you get in touch with General Lilahart? Do you want to tell me specifically? The old grandmother said before that many powerful sea people who haven't shown up for a long time have appeared one after another. Does it have something to do with your leaving the abyss?"

"I can only communicate with you casually, Amy," Esfar explained, "Also, their appearance should have something to do with my leaving the abyss. The leak of the original aura several times before not only made people in the domain of the gods The demigods have noticed my whereabouts, and my former subordinates should also be keenly aware of some signs."

Pei Xiang was a little disappointed to learn that Esfar could not tell Lilahart to reject the old grandmother's request in time.But the matter has come to this point, she can only secretly harbor some small apprehensions, hoping that Asfar's deterrent power has not completely faded.

Soon, news from the old queen mother proved that Esfar's prestige was still there, and his confidant, Lilahardt, did not dare to draw or carve the Lord of the Sea Clan without permission. portrait.

"It's a bit of a pity, but I really hope to see the appearance of the Lord of the Sea Clan," the old grandmother muttered while taking care of her beloved coral potted plants. Good time. Oh, forget it, Amy, you can rest assured now, there are no statues, no flowers, so don't laugh."

Pei Xiang shook his head quickly, and said obediently:

"Grandmother, in fact, I really want to cultivate more magical plants in the sea area in the small garden. I have already planned the area where the statues will be erected. I want to plant a few green crystal lion trees and snow cotton red willows. If you don’t, it’s a waste of space, my little garden isn’t that big.”

The old grandmother took a serious look at Pei Xiang, and found that her eyes were full of sincerity when she said this, and she was not making excuses for keeping the sculpture of a beautiful human man, so she skipped the topic with a smile.

However, she did not forget to warn her little granddaughter: "Amy, when you are outside in the future, you can't say such words that dislike the Lord of the Sea Clan, you know?"

"Why would I despise His Majesty Asfar?" Pei Xiang denied it sincerely.

"It's too late for me to like him. Really, I'm just not interested in his statues, especially, huh, they were carved by others. Grandma, let me tell you, when I was in the human world, I also specialized in painting and sculpture. Art, in the future, um, when we meet that majesty, I will paint his portrait myself, it will definitely be better than General Leilahart's."

"You are such a cheeky little mermaid," the old grandmother sneered at her granddaughter's rhetoric, "Leaving aside your painting skills, it is not your turn to paint for His Majesty. Heh, even Laila General Hart doesn't even have that honor."

Hearing this, Pei Xianghui blinked her eyes slyly, she leaned close to the old grandmother and muttered:

"Grandma, let's make a bet?"

"What are you betting on? Let me tell you first, you can't be foolish if you lose the bet."

"Well, it's a deal, you can't pretend to be confused even if you lose."

"This Queen Mother always keeps her word. Tell me, what's your idea?"

"Grandma, if I say that I can personally paint His Majesty Asfar within 20 years, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." The old grandmother answered very simply.

Pei Xiang groaned with puffed cheeks, and said confidently:

"I'm sure I can do it. Let's make a bet that if I win, you'll give me your treasured dowry cookbook, okay?"

The old queen mother didn't think that the little granddaughter would get the chance to paint the portrait of the master of the sea clan, so she nodded indifferently and said loudly:

"Okay, if you can really impress that majestic and indifferent monarch with your painting skills, I will give you all the recipes I married as a dowry, including the magic book of complete ingredients that you are interested in."

With the promise, Pei Xiang secretly gestured a victory gesture.

The old grandmother squinted at her confident granddaughter and asked:

"So, what if you lose?"

Pei Xiang waved his hand and readily promised:

"If I lose, just let you arrange ten blind date candidates for me, and I promise to take every meeting seriously, how about it?"

The old grandmother raised her eyebrows, smiled suddenly, and felt that she had figured out why her little granddaughter had to make such a sure-to-lose bet.

——She is afraid of being urged to marry.Look, as soon as the bet came out, the blind date was postponed for 20 years, heh, what a clever little ghost!

Pei Xiang, who was misunderstood, smiled and thought, within 20 years, Esfar will definitely come out of the abyss, and if the two of them are still lovers by then, portraits and the like will definitely be allowed.

If not, it means that their relationship has failed.She's single again, isn't it suitable for a blind date?Moreover, the candidate arranged by the old grandmother must not be bad.

This bet is simply a guaranteed profit.

—I'm so clever!

After that day, Pei Xiang's life under the sea was on the right track.

She is busy every day learning the culture and magic inheritance of the Sea Clan, cultivating magic plants and researching potion refining, analyzing calculations and drawing magic circles, practicing the pronunciation and writing of awkward ancient runes, and competing with mermaid warriors.Before I knew it, a few years passed by.

In the past few years, the affairs of the niece Luo Lisa have come to fruition.After repeated confrontations and negotiations between the royal families and the Holy See of the two human countries, the final result of the trial was that Luo Lisa did not need to pay for the death of the crown prince.

Killing a crown prince without paying for his life is because of Luo Lisa’s background, and the second is because a lot of evidence shows that if Luo Lisa allowed the crown prince to imprison her, she would be poisoned soon.

——According to the investigation, the crown prince even prepared poison and a ring for his new wife.

Therefore, in order to cover up the scandal, the Reese royal family, who were afraid of the power of the Sea Race behind Rorisa, quickly compromised, and they declared the marriage between Rorisa and the crown prince invalid.In other words, Luo Lisa no longer has any privileged status and enjoys special treatment in the Kingdom of Rees.

But the Vatican side of the Kingdom of Reese was unwilling to end the matter.They have always claimed that Luo Lisa has been bewitched by dark forces, and needs to repent daily and be strictly guarded by the clergy, purifying the sins in her soul with a life of poverty and hard work.

Of course, their statement was immediately sternly refuted.

Arthur, who was eager to protect his daughter, directly warned the Holy See of Reis that if he slandered his daughter again, he would make the crimes of the Crown Prince of Reis public, and let the people of the two countries evaluate who was the first to violate the sacred marriage vow, and who was right? God lied about who had the real evil soul.

"Maybe, we should dig out the body of your crown prince and burn it to ashes. This is the most effective way to deal with evil forces. What do you think?"

Arthur threatened the negotiators of Reese's country in a sinister manner, and the hands under the long table were clenched into fists.Just imagine a little bit, if the daughter Luo Lisa did not kill the ex-husband of the crown prince at that time, then Arthur and Joanna would receive the bad news that their daughter died of a serious illness soon after.

Then, the husband and wife may have to comfort the "good" son-in-law and leave the daughter's dowry to each other.Thinking of this, Arthur immediately felt extremely sick.

Probably felt Arthur's tough attitude in defending the eldest daughter, and because the archbishop never received the relevant oracle, the Holy See of Lis Country couldn't help but shrink back and show weakness.

Of course, in order to maintain their own face, they still announced the punishment of the Holy See Jury for Luo Lisa, that is, she was required to be imprisoned for ten years. During these ten years, she had to repent every day and sincerely pray for the soul of the crown prince.

But it is worth mentioning that this sentence did not specify the place where Luo Lisa was detained and who was in charge of guarding.That is to say, Luo Lisa can directly leave the Kingdom of Riss and return to live with her parents and relatives. As for the verdict issued by the Holy See of the Kingdom of Riss, there is hardly any restraint.

Regarding Luo Lisa's matter, Pei Xiang has been on the sidelines, and the mermaid king's family did not directly intervene, but only expressed their silent support.

This matter was negotiated and handled by the royal families of the two human kingdoms from the beginning to the end. It really allowed Pei Xiang to observe closely the political and legal development of human civilization on the magic continent. At the same time, it also made her more deeply A clear understanding of the value system of the human race in this world.

In addition to paying attention to Luo Lisa's affairs, Pei Xiang has also made three or five friends who can talk to each other in the past few years when he returned to Haiguo, and they all ventured together in the underwater world and explored the vast and boundless ocean.

On a certain trip, Pei Xiang met the famous Leila Hart.

This is an elegant man with long bluish-blue hair. His smile is as clear and comfortable as the wind in April. His gestures are gentle and gentle. It is completely impossible to see that he is a man who has fought with Esfar for hundreds of years. Killing Titans.

I can't tell...According to Esfar in private, this man, who looks as handsome as Hsinchu after the rain, is actually a frizzy man. A bottle of qualified potion came, and the management of Esfar's pharmacy was once in a mess.

Even so, after a short chat, Pei Xiang and Lilahart became friends.

Before parting, Pei Xiang and Leilahart exchanged contact information and agreed to communicate further when they were free.This is not a polite remark. In the next few years, Pei Xiang and Leila Hart have been exchanging letters.

Of course, the two rarely mentioned personal matters in their letters, and only discussed art, planting, travel and food. Occasionally, when they had different views, Pei Xiang would pull Esfar as her assistant in the debate.

This caused the little flame of jealousy in the Sea Clan Lord's heart to be extinguished with a "crash".Not only that, but he gradually became a little bit happier, because Pei Xiang once pointed to the beautiful food and beauty described in Leila Hart's letter and explained to him:

"I'm asking him for news. Lilahart has lived in the elf clan for a long time, so he is naturally more aware of the specific situation there, and he is a sea clan. From his perspective, the elf forest is described Charm, it is definitely easier for other sea people to resonate, so I am particularly interested in his travel experience.

"Esfar, after you leave the abyss and deal with the troubles, we can go to the Forest of Elves to play and increase our knowledge. Then, you and I can also go to the Dragon Valley, the Dwarf Mountains, or the city where the orcs live. It’s great to go shopping, live, stop and go.”

The leader of the sea clan who was coaxed into a secret elation thought that his girlfriend was working hard for their future life together, so he himself should speed up his pace.

Therefore, in the tenth year after Pei Xiang returned to the bottom of the sea, Esfar, who was sealed in the abyss, finally fell into a complete slumber on his own initiative.

At this time, he has completely cleared the curse power from the demigod, and has absorbed and swallowed most of the abyss demonic energy. At this point, the barrier that prevents him from advancing to the demigod is about to be broken and dissipated.

At the same time, in the mysterious and mysterious realm of the throne, the prototype of the black throne has been born, and the colorful light shines on it, just waiting for the final moment to be completely solidified and finalized.
