Eighth Crown

morning.

The rays of the sun shone in through the gaps in the curtains, swaying slightly in front of her again and again, disturbing her originally peaceful sleep, and had to open her eyes.

"..."

When I opened my eyes, there was an unfamiliar ceiling, and there was no familiar bed board underneath.

The two ceremonies were stunned for a while, and some did not respond. After a while, the memory of last night flooded into her mind, making her suddenly return to her senses.

She sat up from the bed, ignoring the short black hair hanging from her ears, but looked down at her body.

He was still in the same kimono he wore when he went out last night. He didn't change his clothes, only his shoes and socks were taken off and placed by the bed.

"..."

After being silent for a while, she got up from the bed, put on her shoes and socks, and walked out of the room.

It seems to be a villa, it looks very spacious and bright, and there are many rooms on the same floor.

After walking down the stairs to the first floor, she immediately saw the broken-haired boy sitting on the sofa, wondering what he was thinking.

"woke up?"

Liu Xia was also startled by the sound of her footsteps, she raised her head and looked at the past, her attention shifted from the weapon book of the legendary bow to the two rituals.

"How? Is your body okay?"

After everything was settled, the [two rituals] disappeared again, and the two rituals were still in a coma, so Liu Xia took her back to the room and didn't wake up until this moment.

"……should be no problem."

The two rituals were silent for a while before answering Liu Xia's question, then frowning slightly, as if a little uncertain, "Did I pass out last night?"

"right."

Liu Xia nodded without changing his face, "Last night's battle was too intense, you couldn't hold it on the way, so you fainted, and I brought you back."

"Yes……"

The two ceremonies hesitated for a while, but they still raised their footsteps and came to the opposite side of Liu Xia, but instead of sitting down, they lowered their heads and looked at Liu Xia inexplicably.

"What the **** was going on last night? Who is that guy?"

Although I hate this guy a bit, it's a fact that he saved her, and she really wants to know what happened last night's battle that was enough to break people's minds.

"Who knows."

Liu Xia shrugged and didn't answer the questions of the two ceremonies directly, "That guy is obviously coming for you, and I just saved you at the right time."

In fact, it was because she knew through the runes that she was being targeted, so she took the initiative to help, but this is obviously not the right place to say this.

Otherwise, if she throws away the Sage's Stone fragment in a fit of anger, Liu Xia will think of other ways to spy on her actions.

"Where's that guy?"

The faces of the two ceremonies showed troubled expressions, obviously very repulsive to be involved in such inexplicable things.

"Being able to retreat all over, at least means that the guy has been repelled, right?"

If she has really been repelled, it would be a good thing for her, at least in the short term, there is no need to worry about such annoying things happening again.

"died."

Liu Xia gave the answer very calmly, and there was no sign of being shaken by the word death in her tone.

"die……"

The body of the two rituals paused for a moment, and a stunned look appeared on her face for a moment. Then she looked at Liu Xia's eyes and became inexplicably complicated, "You... killed it?"

"That's right."

Liu Xia nodded, but then changed the conversation, "But you can't let your guard down because of this. For that guy, death is just a temporary repelling, and it will come back sooner or later."

"...Wait, you mean—"

The expressions on the faces of the two ceremonies almost didn't hold back, and a very strange look appeared on the delicate face, "Can he still be resurrected, and then come to me again?"

"You guessed right."

Liu Xia paused, as if he knew that the two rituals were hard to believe, and he said again: "Resurrection is not a difficult thing, and I can now do things that are equivalent to resurrection in the eyes of ordinary people."

Beheading to not die, and then growing a new head, is already equivalent to resurrection in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Ha... what the **** is going on in this world?"

The two rituals bowed their heads slightly, and the tensed shoulders were loosened. Then, they raised their hands and patted their heads. There was a look of repulsion and disgust on his face.

"When can even the only life be played with casually..."

After all, she had never been exposed to this aspect before, so it was normal for her to have difficulty accepting it for a while.

Moreover, Liu Xia still clearly remembered that this girl was someone who was hesitant to face the serial killer who had framed her before, but was unable to stab her sharply.

Although she seems to be very proficient in killing, in essence, she is not the kind of person who ignores life. On the contrary, she may instead attach great importance to the life of a human being that only exists once in a lifetime.

That's why I have the feeling that "even the only life can be played at will".

"I've already made breakfast."

Liu Xia stood up from the sofa and walked directly into the kitchen without waiting for the two ceremonies to refuse.

"After breakfast, I'll take you back. I've already informed my uncle and aunt."

The two rituals frowned slightly.

She was just about to habitually refuse, but suddenly the scene of him arriving at the scene in time last night to save her from the enemy suddenly appeared in her mind.

Then, the words of rejection that were originally intended to be spoken, suddenly became somewhat unspeakable.

She looked at the figure of the young man who was busy serving dishes in the kitchen, and after a little hesitation in her heart, she still didn't say those words.

"Forget it, it's just a breakfast anyway."

She shook her head, looked around the living room, and then walked into the bathroom, wanting to wash her face and wash away the drowsiness that remained in her mind.

But after walking into the bathroom, her footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Four sets of appliances?"

There are a total of four sets of utensils in the bathroom, and they are white, blue, yellow, and pink. It can be seen at a glance that four people are using them, and there are residual water marks in the mouthwash cup.

"Anyone living here with him?"

The two ceremonies glanced at these sets of utensils in surprise, then turned to look at Liu Xia in the kitchen, feeling somewhat strange in their hearts.

Is it male or female?

Could it be that he came to pursue her when he was living with a woman?

But she recovered immediately.

"Why do I want this? It has nothing to do with me anyway!"

She curled her lips in annoyance, then chose a white towel at random, took some cold water, and wiped her face.

By the way, the white towel was used by Liu Xia herself.
