Qin Xiu woke up early the next day, because he was a little unaccustomed to sleeping on the sofa for the first time, so he didn't sleep well, and let's see that Lucy was still sleeping and went out alone to start running, which is a habit that has not stopped for several years, as long as there is nothing special, he will get up early and run.

After Qin Xiu finished running, he returned to the hotel and found that Lucy had also gotten up.

"Where did you go, if it weren't for your luggage, I would have thought you left," Lucy said after seeing Qin Xiu enter the door.

"Let's run, have you packed up your things, we should go," Qin Xiu said.

"Well, it's been cleaned up a long time ago," Lucy said, nodding.

"Then let's go," Qin Xiu said, picking up the luggage he had already packed and walked out of the room.

Lucy also hurriedly picked up her luggage and followed Qin Xiu, said to the innkeeper and walked towards the train station, ready to return to the union.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" asked Lucy.

"It's okay," Qin Xiu said, "Thank you for helping me hurt the quilt."

"It's nothing, I'm embarrassed to let you sleep on the couch," Lucy said, shaking her head.

"It would feel weird to sleep together, and then I wouldn't be able to sleep even more," Qin Xiu said.

"There's what you said, it's me who shouldn't be able to sleep, and if you do something, I'm too late to cry," Lucy said.

"You obviously said you believed me last night, but today you will talk back" Qin Xiu looked at Lucy in surprise.

"Haha, just kidding," Lucy laughed.

"I knew you would say that," Qin Xiu said helplessly.

The two laughed and got on the train at the train station, and then took the train for half a day back to Magnolia.

"I'm back," Lucy shouted.

"It's back, it looks like it's been easy," Mirajan said.

"Well, as luck would have it, the monster was a short-lived Titus, so it went very well," Lucy said happily.

"A short-lived Titus, it seems that his luck is really good," said Mirajan.

"It's so good, why don't you take me with you, damn it," Natsu said dissatisfiedly.

"Take you there, I don't know what you're going to do, and maybe the commission will be gone," Lucy said.

"You're a personality discriminator," Natsu said dissatisfied.

"Then you still admit it," Lucy said.

"It's too much," Natsu yelled.

"Alright, Natsu, Lucy is there to make money to pay the rent, and if you go and unintentionally destroy things, Lucy will have no money to pay the rent," Mira Jean advised.

"yes, why are you so stingy, we're a team, it's normal to work separately once in a while," Lucy said.

"Well, that seems to be the case, forget it, hopy, let's go dinner," Natsu said with a sudden change of tone, turning back to leave.

"Love," Harpy nodded, following Natsu.

"Is he angry?" Lucy wondered.

"No, it's just to vent the dissatisfaction in your heart, Natsu also went to work after you left, and it ended up destroying some things, although the entrusted task was completed, but I didn't get a penny, and I was envious to see Lucy you get paid easily," said Mirajan.

"I see," Lucy said.

"Ashu has gone back, then Natsu is probably going to find Ashu now," Mirajan said.

"Huh?" Lucy looked at Mirajane suspiciously.

"Ah Xiu is also a member of the strongest team, although he is a substitute, he is also a member of the team, Natsu should be the same as you when he goes to Ah Xiu at this time," Mirajan said.

"Uh......" Lucy was stunned, "Natsu has to pay rent too?"

"It's not, Natsu also has to eat, how to eat if he doesn't have money, you know, Natsu and Gray fight as soon as they meet, Natsu is afraid of Elusa, although you come back to work with you, something may happen, so finding Ah Xiu, who is also in the team, is the best choice, Ah Xiu and Natsu have a good relationship," Mirajan said.

"Since you don't have any money, how can you eat," Lucy said as she looked at Natsu as she walked away.

"Ashu didn't invite Natsu to dinner once or twice, so don't worry about the two of them, come and tell me about Titus, how can it be a Titus who is not far from death?" asked Mirazhen curiously.

"Ah, it's so smooth to talk about, that Titus," Lucy went on to tell Titus completely.

"It's really lucky, this kind of thing is too rare, and it's probably the easiest of the crusade missions," said Mirajan.

"I got 100,000 J without any effort," Lucy said happily.

"You don't have to worry about the rent now," Mirazhen said.

"Hmm," Lucy nodded.

"Sister Mira, there's something I want to tell you, but I don't know if I should say it," Lucy's voice lowered.

"Well, if you want to say it, if you don't want to, you won't care," said Mirajan.

"Although I promised Ah Xiu not to tell anyone about this, I still want to tell you about your relationship with Ah Xiu," Lucy said as she looked at Mirajan.

"Is there something he doesn't want anyone else to know?" asked Mirajan.

"Well, that's what he said, but it doesn't matter if the other people don't know about it, Sister Mira, you must know," Lucy said.

"But I don't want to break the agreement with Ah Xiu, it's okay, since he doesn't want people to know, then there must be a reason for him," Mirajan said as she looked at Lucy.

"But this matter is related to Ah Xiu's life, and Sister Mila and I happen to have a certain connection with this matter," Lucy said as she looked at Mira Jean.

"......," Mirajan was stunned, "Life?

"Hmm," Lucy nodded.

"What's going on, didn't you go to work and finish it easily, and how did you connect with Ah Xiu's life again?" Mirajan looked at Lucy and asked, suddenly Mirajan was startled, "Could it be related to the power of Cuiyan in our body?"

"Well, Sister Mira, let's find a place and I'll tell you more about it," said Lucy.

"Well, Kana......" Mirajan shouted.

"What's the matter?" Kana looked at Mirajan as she cupped the barrel.

"Take care of the counter for me, I have something to do, and I'll give you a free barrel of wine when it's done," said Mirajan.

"Okay, just make a free barrel of wine, I promise you," Kana nodded.

"Lucy, let's go" Mirajane walked out of the counter towards the outside of the union, and Lucy nodded and followed.

At this time, Qin Xiu was renting a room.

"Ashu, let's go eat," Natsu shouted.

"You don't have any money again?" Qin Xiu glanced at Natsu and said angrily.

"Nonsense, how could I have no money to eat," Natsu jumped up and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, you take out the money for me first," Qin Xiu said.

"Well, I forgot my money at home, right, Harpy," Natsu said with a blushing face and panting.

"Love," Harpy replied with a nod.

"Okay, okay, this is not the first time and the second time, and you are still playing these little tricks with me, you really treat me as your free hospitality coupon," Qin Xiu said.

"It's all Natsu's fault, if he hadn't worked and destroyed a house, how could we have no money to eat, Ah Xiu, you must criticize Natsu as a violent and saboteur," Harpy suddenly flew next to Qin Xiu and said loudly.

"Harpy, you traitor, what did you say when you first came" Natsu jumped to his feet at the sight.

"That's right, Natsu, with your rampage, can you do your job without destroying a single thing?" said Harpy mercilessly.

"Harpy, you're so disgusting," Natsu yelled.

"I don't think you're even as good as Gray, Natsu, you'd better surrender when you meet Gray," Harpy said again.

"How much better could that guy Gray be than me? where do you undress and let in the cold air all day long," Natsu said.

"At least Gray doesn't break things easily," Harpy said, shaking his paws.

"Okay, okay, great, Nazhabi, your acting talent is getting higher and higher," Qin Xiu clapped his palms and said loudly.

"I was detected, Natsu and I said that this can't fool Asho, you still have to try" Harpy shook his head and sighed.

"That's because your performance is so bad," Natsu said, looking at Harpy.

"No, it's Natsu, you're right, you don't act like you're acting at all," Harpy retorted.

"It turns out that I'm really acting," Qin Xiu said at this time.

"Huh?" "Ah" The one person and the cat looked at Qin Xiu suspiciously.

"I didn't think about it, I tried it out, it's really bad," Qin Xiu shook his head and said.

"What......" Natsu and Harpy were momentarily stunned, looking at each other with a blank face.

"Isn't Natsu doing this?" asked Harpy.

"It's all your fault, Harpy, it's so easy to be fooled," Natsu immediately said angrily with dissatisfaction.

"You're not the same," Harpy shouted.

"Alright, you guys just tell the truth" Qin Xiu interrupted Natsu and Harpy's arguing.

"Haha, has Ashu been available lately?" Natsu said.

"Yes" Qin Xiu nodded.

"Let's go to work together," Natsu said.

"Well, yes, Natsu, you've all teamed up with Elusa and Gray Lucy, wouldn't it be nice to go with them?" Qin Xiu said.

"Cut, Gray, why do I have to work with him, Elusa, you don't know, Lucy can still consider it, but Axiu, you are also a member of the team, so it is the best choice to find you," Natsu said.

"Okay, I'm busy now, haven't you eaten lunch yet?" Qin Xiu asked.

"Hehe, this," Natsu's face flushed with embarrassment.

"I knew it would be like this, let's go" Qin Xiu sighed and walked out the door.

"Yay, Harpy, let's go," Natsu shouted.

"Love, Ah Xiu is a great man, Ah Xiu I want to eat fish" Harpy also shouted.

"You know, you know, what else can you eat besides eating fish" Qin Xiu shook his head and said.

The two of them walked towards the restaurant with a cat.

Magnolia South Exit Park

"The flame of life, the magic of transforming one's own life into flame, the embodiment of fire, I see, that's what the name "embodiment of fire" muttered Mira Jean as she listened to Lucy's story.

"Well, this kind of magic is really terrifying, I asked Ah Xiu to ban the use of the fire spirit modeling magic because I was afraid that this magic would consume his life force," Lucy nodded.

"Well, Lucy, you're doing the right thing, maybe Ashu has already consumed some of his life," Mirajan said.

"Huh?" Lucy was stunned.

"The reason why we can sense each other is that Ah Xiu's life force has turned into a fire spirit in our body, but we are not sure how much Ah Xiu has lost," Mirajan said.

"That's right," Lucy nodded, her voice lowered.

"Fortunately, Lucy, you are lucky to have found out about it, so that we can prevent it," said Mirajan.

"Well, that's what I thought, that's why I broke my agreement with Ah Xiu and told Sister Mira about it," Lucy said.

"Well, Lucy, you will continue to keep the agreement with Ah Xiu, I will not tell you about it, this matter will be kept secret," Mirazhen said.

"Hmm," Lucy nodded.

Mirajan's eyes looked at the sky and pondered, "The flame of life...... The knife that Monhalia gave me, after taking the knife, I could feel the magic in my body gushing out and turning into flames, and the master behind Monhalia, the strange feeling I felt for a moment, because it should be the master of Monhalia, Ah Xiu, you are doing the right thing, it may be the best to hide this matter, and I don't know what will happen when the day the truth of the matter comes, at that time, you, I, Lucy, Natsu ...... Will everybody be happy?" thought to herself.

"Sister Mira, are you going back?" Lucy looked at Mirajane.

"Well, go back, I'm afraid Kana is complaining too," Mirajan laughed.

The two women stood up and walked towards the union together.
