At this moment, only Xuanyu and Lucia were left in the Garden of Akulan. The enemy hides in the unknown darkness, quietly dormant. The blood demons tensed their spirits to guard against the attack that came at the moment, maybe they were too nervous, Lucia was in a trance, her mind was slightly withdrawn, and the hot battle just now seemed to be just an illusion, and it became more and more unreal.

A dark fragrance hits here, sweet but not greasy, soft but not pungent. It invades the nasal cavity and enters the body, bringing relief throughout the body, and the tension gradually relieves until it disappears. Quadriplegia is as soft as walking on the clouds, and the brain is no longer clear, falling into chaos. Although he still knows the world, he is very smooth, but he doesn't care.

Could this be Xuanyu's mentality? No worries, this feeling is really cool to the limit!

Lucia pondered, more pleasant.

The warm morning sun shines on me, and the rhythmic sound of the waves crashing against the reef is in my ears. A gentle breeze blows through the woods and a flower-filled courtyard. The branches and leaves rustle, and the fragrance of flowers overflows. The childish frolic sounds of children drifted into the eardrums in the breeze, and with the wind came a blue butterfly, dancing.

The butterfly flipped its wings in front of Lucia's eyes, shaking off a tiny amount of scales, like stars falling into a pool of blue waves, causing infinite ripples and blurring vision. Lucia blankly followed the guidance of the cyan butterfly and stepped into the fluctuating forest. The road is not long, and the white buildings at the end are typical of the Japanese roundabout, which is Lucia's hometown. She once spent the most carefree time of her life here with her mother. Now, back here, it's full of familiar smells.

Among the flowers outside the white building, Aka and Appi chased each other, their equally red curls shining in the sunlight. They laughed and ran to Lucia and pulled her arm, their big childish eyes misty.

Aka shouted, "Mom, my sister is back!"

Appi hugged Lucia's waist and whimpered, but then giggled again.

Lucia stroked her brother and sister's heads, and the faces that had long been blurred in her memory suddenly became clear, so clear that every hair was obvious.

Shouts were heard, and the door of the white house opened. A woman dressed in white walked out, with endless tenderness at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

"Ah, it's Lucia who has returned, and she is tired, so she is going into the house to wash and eat. A plain sentence, but Lucia hadn't heard it for a long time, it was her mother's voice, and her tone.

The nose is sore because of the feeling of happiness, and the tears are gathered in the eye sockets to prevent it from flowing, and at this time laughter should be replaced by sadness and desolation. But Lucia's lips trembled, and her body trembled as she walked into her mother: "You're still ...... Is it?"

"What stupid things to say, I've always been there. Mother replied softly.

"My sister slept and fell asleep!hahaha!" Aka laughed.

"Did my sister have any nightmares?" little Ambi tilted his head, his childish face sad.

Nightmare? It is indeed a nightmare! Lucia patted her brain and remembered that she had just fallen asleep on the beach and had a nightmare. I dreamed that my mother died, and I became the patriarch of the Light Clan, and then I was exiled by Rihuan Island, and then I ...... Afterwards...... Lucia frowned, the outline of a man appeared in her mind, with black hair and black eyes, always with a mysterious smile, but she couldn't remember his name, and even the other person's face gradually turned into foam, and was sent back to the endless ocean floor with the tide of her mind.

At this time, her mother was smiling and reaching out to Lucia, and she could almost smell the scent of sunny, which was an important ingredient for young Lucia's favorite suncake, and the morning breeze and the smoke of the cooking stove that curled into the air, baking the sweetness of her memory.

Mom......

Lucia stretched out her hand, and on her slightly cold fingertips, the cyan butterfly flew up and down.

Suddenly, a cold light struck! The cyan butterfly was cut in half, like a dead leaf in late autumn falling under Lucia's astonished gaze. She subconsciously spread out her hand to pick it up, and the cyan butterfly wings quickly faded in color, thin as ice, and disappeared into the air after a few shatters. And with it comes the sweet suncakes, the warm morning breeze, the white houses of my hometown, Acre and Appi, and ...... Mother......

When the illusion dissipates, the mind and body return to reality. The restored troubles seem to have been magnified dozens of times and pressed down heavily. Lucia's eyes cleared, and traces of pain appeared on her face. She knew it was all fake, but she still chose to believe it. Self-deception is exchanged for the danger of infinite proximity to death.

This is still the Akulan Garden! It's still the terrifying space buried deep underneath, the lair of the otherworldly demon plant! It's still the blood demon's master and servant who are fighting against it. Nothing seems to have changed, the only thing that has changed is one more flower, a flower of Akulan. A single-petaled giant red flower with a diameter of more than ten meters, the center of the flower looks like a skull, staring at two hollow "eyes", and the "mouth" has no teeth, but is covered with slender and long tentacles. said that it was a flower, but it was more like the head of a demon plant. The outer side of the petals is also attached to such soft tentacles, one end of which grows on the flower, and the other end stretches outward, with a sweet but not greasy fragrance.

This incense has just been taught by Lucia. Now, the tentacles of the flower reached out to her, or she walked into the range of the giant flower herself. The tentacles rose and hung down in front of her, like the fingers of a mother in an illusion. And Lucia almost fell into the abyss with the cyan butterfly.

Of course, it was Xuanyu who saved Lucia in time, or it could be regarded as self-help. The use of words or "silent" was clearly useless, and he took a straightforward approach to frontal attacks. He used his spiritual power to cut off the tentacles closest to Lucia, and at the same time, the afterglow of the attack wave hit the petals, scratching a scar and white liquid overflowing.

The "White Snakes", who had been tirelessly attacking Xuanyu, suddenly changed their normal behavior and gathered towards the petal scars, and they struggled to spit out letters, as if they were mending. This also made time for the blood demons, and Xuanyu, who had escaped the entanglement of the "White Snake", rushed towards Lucia, who had not yet eased, and grabbed her slender waist with one hand, soared into the air, and quickly left the scope of the red giant flower.

Lucia had never been so close to Xuanyu, so close that she could feel the warmth in the other's chest and hear the fresh heartbeat. In his ear, the other party's breath with moisture brushed his earlobe.

"Fool, why did you fall into the path of that monster so carelessly?"

Xuanyu's voice carried a magical power that could instantly release Lucia from the weight of reality's troubles. At that moment, it was false to say that there was no fluttering mind, but before Lucia could confirm her feelings, a cold sword roared.

The sword grazed between the two, and Xuanyu was cut a bloody wound on her chest in order to protect Lucia. Lucia turned around and took Xuanyu's hand. But Xuanyu's leaning back body pulled Lucia over, and the two of them lost their center of gravity and fell down one after another. Xuanyu rolled over and landed on top of Lucia, and the blood from her body flowed down and dripped onto Lucia's lips.

Lucia is a lover of blood, and even though she has let go of sucking blood, she still can't do anything to her family and friends. And before this drop of blood entered her mouth, she never thought that one day she would drink Xuanyu's blood. The reason is as simple as to be stupid enough to drink their own blood?

It was the blood of Xuanyu that made Lucia think about it, and the taste was so beautiful! Once you sucked it, you couldn't stop, and the feeling was even more fascinating than the illusion of a giant red flower. Lucia didn't know that at that moment her eyes turned red, and she bit down on Xuanyu's wound and sucked hard, regardless of Xuanyu's wail. It wasn't until the owner of the cold sword put the blade on her neck that she slowly raised her head and came to her senses in a trance.

This sword is detached, and its owner is Chu Shuqing.
