Chapter 134 The Weight

The afternoon light was soft and lazy, making the air near the window in the restaurant feel tender and lingering.

As one delicious dish after another was served, Lan Qi and Talia gradually put aside their reserve.

"Ah."

Lan Qi used a fork to cut off a piece of tender pan-fried veal, dipped it in a rich sauce, and brought it to Talia's mouth.

Talia shyly opened her cherry-like mouth, and soon a spoon fed the delicacy into her mouth, with a hand held under the spoon to prevent food from falling on her.

These overly intimate gestures attracted envious or teasing gazes from others, but Lan Qi and Talia had no time to care.

They were already using all their brainpower just to focus on each other.

Despite this, Talia found it difficult to relax as much as before, her body tense.

Even though Lan Qi's actions of feeding her were very conservative, she still felt as if she were being held by him.

But Lan Qi feeding her was really gentle, making her feel like she was melting.

Talia started screaming inwardly—

She felt like she might be crazy, actually being so bewitched as to sit on Lan Qi and let him feed her.

Lan Qi fed her, occasionally wiping the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and when she was about to feel thirsty, Lan Qi would ask in advance if she wanted a drink.

At first, she sat upright, but as time passed, Talia gradually felt exhausted, trying to empty her mind to reduce her sense of shame, only constantly opening her mouth and chewing, cooperating with Lan Qi.

As the hands of the clock moved, the sun began to slowly set in the west.

The afternoon sun became more intense, and the golden color gradually became tinged with orange-yellow.

With the beauty nestled in his arms, Lan Qi's heart pounded like a drum.

At this moment, Lan Qi felt she was really like a soft kitten, no, more like a big cat.

After all, the weight on his legs was real.

"Tata, you're not 52.6 kilograms, are you?"

Lan Qi asked, as if murmuring to himself.

"!"

Talia suddenly came back to her senses, her cheeks flushed as she looked up at him.

"You pervert! Are you secretly feeling my weight..."

She suspected that Lan Qi could sense her weight every time he captured her.

She admitted that she had been eating every day since coming to the Posen Kingdom, and lacked exercise after fusing with the Great Love Poet.

But to report her weight so accurately, it was hard to say that Lan Qi didn't have a problem!

"Who told you to always run onto me, besides Boss Cat, only you would do this."

Lan Qi muttered softly.

He could never guess what this old woman would do, and every time he was with her, it seemed that things would always end up like this.

"..."

Talia was speechless and could only continue eating the food Lan Qi fed her.

After thinking about it, she touched her stomach again. It was clear that she hadn't gained weight, indicating that her weight gain was harmless.

"Fu."

Lan Qi seemed to have noticed her actions and her thoughts at the moment, staring at her hand and couldn't help but smile.

"What are you looking at?"

Talia stared warily at Lan Qi, shrinking back.

Although Lan Qi's habits were strange, he shouldn't want to touch her stomach and laugh at her, right?

"You're right, but this is Talia, weighing 52.6, height 168, an 800-year-old demon, with mind reading, damage reflection, and good at curses, with mental control, and also very good-looking, gaining the blessing of the Primordial Stone Slab when changing forms, and also having true damage, and, also able to use the Great Love Poet's transformation magic, likes to wear short skirts and school uniforms, and then when you feed her, she goes 'ah ah ah ah ah ah!'"

Lan Qi had already started laughing, and then Talia pinched his waist halfway through his sentence, causing him to scream.

"Feed me properly."

Talia said angrily.

If she wasn't still sitting in his lap, she really wanted to pin him on the sofa!

But if they did that, they would definitely be back in trouble.

The light and shadow in the restaurant were constantly changing angles, and the Selena River in the distance was also plated with a layer of golden orange, but only the two of them were still diligently feeding each other.

Until the sun gradually sank, dyeing the sky and the earth into a magnificent orange-red.

Many customers had come and gone from the Colonge Day Bridge Inn Restaurant.

The customers who came at this time were probably here for dinner.

And Lan Qi and Talia's lunch was finally coming to an end.

The after-meal dessert was another calling card of the restaurant.

The chestnut cake was made with fresh Aquitaine mountain chestnut puree from the Posen Kingdom, and every bite was full of the sweet taste of chestnuts.

Lan Qi cut it into pieces and fed them to Talia one by one.

The cake base was wrapped in a layer of crispy almond flakes, and the raspberry puree, freshly picked, was the main ingredient, repeatedly whipped, soft and light as a cloud, and every bite tasted the sweet and sour taste of raspberries.

Looking at the lunch that was about to be finished, both of them seemed to be about to be freed.

With the after-meal black coffee and herbal tea, Lan Qi and Talia ended this feast.

"Welcome, both of you, come again!"

Before leaving, the waiter presented them with an exquisitely packaged tea and dessert gift box, which the restaurant gave as an extra gift. Talia took it with a red face and left.

"..."

The moment Lan Qi and Talia stepped out of the restaurant, Parier at five o'clock in the afternoon was already draped in the sunset.

The two walked along the street, the ancient buildings standing in rows, and the stone brick walls looked particularly warm in the sunset.

They no longer held hands, and were even far apart.

It seemed that getting a little closer to each other would remind them of the feeling of sitting in prison for an entire afternoon.

Gradually, the two walked out of the bustling city and turned into a small, sparsely populated road.

The narrow path wound upwards, and on both sides of the road, lush green ivy cascaded down like a waterfall.

Even without dialogue, they knew where to go nearby next.

What they needed now was to adjust their state of mind, and there was a place that was very suitable, and also a highly recommended attraction by Countess Rosalinda.

Montmartre Heights, 135 meters above sea level, is also the highest point in the entire flower capital, Parier.

Climbing the heights, the flower capital can be seen at a glance, with comfortable benches, and you can also overlook the sunset.

The Montmartre Heights in the 3rd arrondissement of the North Bank are really high compared to other districts of Parier, and even the Selena River cannot go against it.

There are scenic winding paths, tall and sacred churches, the Place du Tertre where painters gather, and dance halls where people sing and dance all night long.

In a few minutes, they climbed to the top of Montmartre Heights.

Fallen leaves piled up on the side of the road, children ran by from time to time on the path, and in the distance, middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes looked at newspapers.

Looking out, the vast city of Parier was in full view, and the setting sun was slowly melting on the horizon, the sky dyed pink, like burning clouds.

The two sat down on a bench in front of the railing, both feeling like they had escaped from hell.

They didn't speak for a long time.

The gentle evening breeze blew through their hair, bringing a faint fragrance of roses, which was refreshing.

"Go for dinner?"

Lan Qi looked at the clock tower and asked suddenly.

Although they had just finished lunch, it was already dinner time.

"No need."

Talia didn't look at Lan Qi, feeling that Lan Qi's motivation for asking this question was damned.

She was full now, she had never eaten so much before.

It was all Lan Qi's fault, feeding her so much, and when she was with him, she was like a switch that had broken, becoming unrestrained.

"I'm talking about eating dinner normally, I won't feed you again."

Lan Qi asked with concern.

He was always worried about Talia being hungry.

"I don't want you to feed me, I will never want you to feed me again!"

Talia finally looked at him and shouted, as if swearing to the goddess.

She recalled the entire afternoon of being fed in Lan Qi's arms, and now she felt her face would be hot.

Such absurd things would not happen between them again!

"Looks like you're really full."

Lan Qi said reassuringly.

He felt like he had spent centuries this afternoon.

Fortunately, this was the flower capital, Parier. If they were in Yikelite and they were shamelessly holding each other and feeding each other, and their friends opened the door and caught them red-handed, then both of them could escape from this world.

"..."

Talia slowly turned her head, no longer gazing at Lan Qi's face.

The sunset cast a layer of light gauze on her delicate face, and her eyes reflected the twilight of this flower capital, as if memories were flowing.

Unknowingly, it had been a long time since she came to this beautiful flower capital. Every moment of memory, when recalled at this time, was particularly clear.

When she first came to this city, she never thought that she and Lan Qi would be so noisy every day, and even experienced a catastrophe.

Maybe more than one...

"Regarding card making, do you have any new ideas?"

Talia said to herself, as if she was tired,

Or maybe she was full of food and drink, and her tone returned to normal, no longer making trouble with Lan Qi.

"Not at all."

Lan Qi shook his head,

"But if you don't scold me on purpose like today when you make cards, I might not be able to adapt."

His current strength as a card maker was, to some extent, trained by Talia day by day.

"Did you see it long ago?"

Talia stared at Lan Qi, questioning him.

"Of course."

Lan Qi really couldn't bear to tease Talia anymore.

"Then you still deliberately make me angry!"

Talia pinched Lan Qi's cheeks, staring at him angrily.

"Wrong, wrong! Wow!"

Lan Qi surrendered directly.

The two started fighting again as usual, accompanied by a burst of noise, and the two shadows on the ground in the reflection of the sunset seemed to be angry and laughing again.

They attracted the attention of the children, and soon the children ran by again.

"Forget it, I'll let you go today."

But Talia was probably really too tired to fight with Lan Qi anymore, and gradually let go of his face after not bothering him for long.

The two sat on the bench again, watching the sun that was about to disappear on the horizon.

"I always feel like we've found a way to cooperate with each other..."

Talia murmured, her brow furrowed as if she couldn't quite describe it specifically,

"If we can find the state we were in during the final battle in the Posen Demon Realm that day, it might be different."

For some reason, she felt that if it was with Lan Qi at that time, the two of them would definitely be able to cooperate well.

"But it always feels difficult."

Lan Qi muttered to himself, looking at the setting sun.

Not to mention how to find the state of that day.

It was difficult enough just to not quarrel with each other.

"Why don't we revive Lau Man and ask him how he made our hearts unite that day."

Lan Qi asked Talia.

"..."

Talia looked at Lan Qi's serious appearance, and she had already discovered that this guy didn't seem to respect his defeated opponents too much.

In a way, he was particularly respectful to his opponents, because he was always paying tribute.

She expected that she would often hear him talk about the stories of legendary opponents in the future.

He helped Hugh defeat Lau Wu, and helped her defeat Lau Man.

Wait, who did he help defeat the strongest, Lau Sang?

"However, we haven't tried making cards for a few days, have we? Why don't we go back and try it tonight."

Lan Qi felt that now he and Talia might have really found a successful possibility of collaboration, but they lacked re-practice and reproduction of it.

Since Lan Qi fell asleep, they had not tried making cards again.

They were about to leave the flower capital, Parier.

If they couldn't complete it according to the original plan, then they could only make long-term plans next.

But with the Krete Empire trip imminent, they might really need the power of the Great Demon, Kaliella.

Otherwise, infiltrating the most terrible Krete Empire in the Southern Continent would inevitably be accompanied by great danger.

Talia didn't have crowd control magic, and the two of them wouldn't be able to escape so easily if they were surrounded, while Kaliella was best at indiscriminate crowd control.

"What kind of demon is the Fallen Overlord, Kaliella?"

Talia thought carefully. She had studied Kaliella's Shadowweave Codex many times, but she had never met Kaliella, and even Huberian knew more about Kaliella than she did.

Talia had good impressions of the demons that Huberian liked.

So even though they had never met, she had a good impression of Kaliella.

"Teacher Ka is actually quite gentle, but because she is in that position, she sometimes has to show her harsh side, so most of the time she is an absolute Great Demon that cannot be provoked in the eyes of the demons."

Lan Qi recalled, leaning back in his chair.

Kaliella had been dedicated to the demons to the point of exhaustion. Even after her death, she left her power to the later generations of demons. He didn't know what the ending of her story would be.

If a ninth-order demon had never given an imprint in her life, she could turn into a Great Demon trial after her death, giving more demons the opportunity to obtain an imprint.

In the beginning, there were no Great Demons for the demons. For the demons, the Great Demons needed generations of demons and a long time to build, which was a kind of racial inheritance.

Although the Shadow World only projected the Kaliella of history, more like a heroic spirit, the personality she showed was indeed no different from the real Kaliella in history.

"What is your impression of her?"

Talia asked curiously.

Originally, she felt that she would not have any feelings in her heart when she heard Lan Qi say good things about other women. For example, when he praised Hugh earlier, she just listened very happily.

But at this moment, she didn't know why, but she didn't want Lan Qi to continue praising Kaliella.

"..."

"Good-looking, dignified, mature, useful."

Lan Qi thought for a moment and replied.

"?"

Talia clenched her fist, but finally resisted not attacking Lan Qi.

This guy dared to say anything in front of her!

When did she become so tolerant of him?

"Isn't she at least over a thousand years old? Why don't you think she's old?"

Talia still reasoned like this.

She was really unconvinced.

Why was it that she was only eight hundred years old, and Lan Qi kept thinking about her, but Kaliella was over a thousand years old, and Lan Qi selectively ignored this!

"She doesn't have the aged flavor that you have, you are unique."

Lan Qi looked back at her and answered.

"..."

Talia didn't know what to say.

Just listening to the second half of the sentence, her heart was actually beating a little faster, or rather, this was what any girl wanted to hear.

But in connection with the first half of the sentence, her blood pressure was still rising.

She took a deep breath and then exhaled it.

His attitude was sincere and fatal.

She knew how much she hated this man, but at this moment, she just wanted to continue to be entangled with him.

The clouds gradually faded, and the sun finally sank completely below the horizon.

"Let's go, let's go to the statue to pray."

Talia stood up, turned around and grabbed Lan Qi's wrist, pulling him up.

Before they officially made cards, they would definitely go to the Love God's Temple in the flower capital, Parier, to receive a mental blessing from the god of will and love.

"No matter what, listen to me when making cards, I am your teacher, your unique teacher."

She pointed at Lan Qi with her other finger, solemnly declaring.

"Then next, please take care of me, Teacher Tata."

Lan Qi's voice was much clearer, and he smiled.

The sky transitioned from a beautiful orange-red to a deep indigo blue, and under this almost night-sky color, his face still had a harmless smile.

This title seemed to make Talia feel a little uncomfortable. She found that Lan Qi said the same thing when he first called her teacher.

But this time, she didn't answer him through default.

"Let's go."

She grabbed Lan Qi and walked towards the stairs of Montmartre Heights.

Go to the Love God's Temple to pray, and then try making cards.
