Chapter Twenty-Six: It's Not Easy for You

Lilian finished eating the barbecue in her hand, handed the knife back to Xu Shuo, and Xu Shuo inserted a new piece of meat to roast it, and the two of them took turns eating one by one.

The physical strength spent on the escape was very large, so both of them were hungry, and after a meal, the leg of mutton weighing more than ten catties was actually eaten by the two of them.

"I'm full, thank you for your hospitality." Lilian's expression looked as if she was overwhelmed, squinting, and very satisfied.

Xu Shuo was also full, and after washing the knife by the small lake in the cave, he drank a few sips of lake water, and the lake water here was quite sweet and very thirst-quenching.

When Lilien saw this, she also came over and drank the water from the lake in her hand.

"Ah~ Drink well, eat and sleep in the open, is this the life of an adventurer?" Lilion said with a grin.

"Why do you seem to be happy?" Xu Shuo asked incredulously.

"Because it's new to me, Mr. Xu Shuo, you may be used to being a bounty hunter, but this is a valuable experience for me." Lilian said.

Xu Shuo scratched his head and said, "I don't have any habits, although I am a bounty hunter, but I have just taken office, in fact, today's escort task is the first job I received as a bounty hunter." ”

Lilian showed a surprised expression for a moment, but then nodded as if she remembered something, and said, "That's right, Mr. Xu Shuo, you only rose to Lv2 today." So, we're all new adventurers? ”

Xu Shuo didn't know what to say, so he had to respond twice with "uh-huh".

"Now, do you want to move on to the next floor? Then challenge the layer master of the second layer? Lilion looked expectant.

"I'm going to find the second-layer master, but not now." Xu Shuo found a corner and sat down.

"So what are we going to do?" Liliam asked.

"Rest, it's probably night outside now, aren't you tired? Anyway, I'm tired to death, let's talk about exploring the second layer tomorrow, go to bed first. Xu Shuo said.

"Uh-oh." Lilian came to Xu Shuo's side and asked, "Mr. Xu Shuo, can I sit next to you?" ”

"Whatever you want." Xu Shuo said.

Lilian then sat down next to Xu Shuo, and the two of them were shoulders against each other.

(That's too close.) )

Xu Shuo glanced at Lilian from the corner of his eye, who was holding his knees with his hands and staring straight ahead, not knowing what he was thinking, but his face was a little red.

Xu Shuo first waited for a while, and saw that Lilian didn't say anything, so he closed his eyes and planned to take a nap.

After closing his eyes for a while, Xu Shuo felt a little sleepy, but at this moment, Lilian's voice came from his ears.

"Mr. Xu Shuo, are you asleep?" Lilian asked quietly.

Xu Shuo wanted to answer no, but he felt very sleepy, thinking that it shouldn't be a matter of urgency anyway, so he simply pretended to be asleep, so he didn't speak.

Seeing that Xu Shuo didn't react, Lilian whispered again: "Are you asleep?" ”

Mmmm, I'm asleep, please hurry up and sleep quietly, Miss, I'm tired. Xu Shuo said in his heart.

Xu Shuo thought that if he didn't reply, Lilian would give up, but he didn't expect Lilian to continue: "Mr. Xu Shuo, can I confide in you?" There are some things that have been held in my heart all the time, and I can't tell them to my family, nor to the housekeeper and maid, and I am almost suffocated. ”

(It's not over yet...... Forget it, just please, I'm not going to pay attention to you anyway. )

Xu Shuo heard Lilian sigh softly.

"I'm getting married." Lilion confides shocking news.

The corners of Xu Shuo's mouth twitched.

(It's too early, isn't it?) )

"The other man was the second son of Baron Bloom in the town next door, and I had seen his portrait of a chubby-looking gentleman, and everyone said that he was very kind, but I always felt very uneasy. Sure enough, I prefer thinner people to chubby people. Lilien said in a somewhat lost tone.

"My father said don't worry about me, they will come to live in our house, and I can continue to stay in Wink Manor and stay with my father."

(Is the man involved?) )

"How can I say it, although I am relieved that I don't have to marry somewhere else, but a while ago, my father confiscated all my adventure-related books, and he said that these things are not in order, so that my future husband can see that it is not good, and said that I will not be allowed to read those books in the future."

"I'm so scared, Mr. Xu Shuo, I'm so interested in it now, if this is not allowed, how will I live in the future? I heard that my future husband is a very traditional person, what if he doesn't allow me to go hunting anymore or even go out? When I think about it, I feel terrified. ”

"Everyone said I was blessed to live in Wink Manor and receive my father's love...... However, I am not a nobleman, just a child picked up by my father, and I am a cheap life in my bones, and I want to be like an adventurer and exchange my own hands for achievements rather than accept the service of a maid. ”

"I know more or less what the maid and the housekeepers say about me behind my back, and they all say that I am a wild seed, and that I am in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings. Perhaps, it's really me who is too dissatisfied. ”

Xu Shuo's eyelids jumped. Wild seed - he grew up in his uncle's house, and when he was a child, he quarreled with his cousin, and his cousin would scold him with this word, and every time his cousin scolded him wild seed, he was like choking and couldn't stop talking, this word always reminded him that he was just an orphan under the fence.

Xu Shuo suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the girl beside him, although she grew up in a gold-inlaid family, but she was manipulated like a marionette, like a canary locked in a golden cage, although it looks beautiful, how happy can she actually be? No, maybe others don't think of her as a canary, because she wasn't born to Adam Wink, and maybe in the eyes of outsiders, she was just a crow in a golden cage.

"I'm really grateful to my father for raising me, but, if I have a choice, I want to be a female adventurer, and then fall in love with a strong and handsome person like Mr. Xu Shuo, wander the world together, and when we want to settle down, we will find a small village to live in, have a few children, raise a flock of sheep, milk the goats every day, and tell the children the adventures of my youth."

Lilien's tone was full of yearning as she said this, as if it could really be realized, but at the end of the sentence she sighed softly.

"Come to think of it, I'm going to go back until my father sends someone to find me, and then I'm going to go back to Wink Manor, marry that fat gentleman, and live my life as a lady."

As she spoke, Lilien suddenly smirked twice.

"However, I am already very satisfied, I never thought that I could explore in the maze like this, this is something I can never encounter in my life, and now I can explore the maze with Mr. Xu Shuo, it is like a dream, and when I look back on it later, I can also say to myself that my life is not so boring."

Lilian paused.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu Shuo, for accompanying me on this adventure, and thank you for listening to me."

Lilion said this, and the air fell silent.

After a while, Xu Shuo felt something hit his shoulder, and he quietly opened half of his eyes, and found Lilian asleep leaning on his shoulder, a few strands of blonde hair falling down the tip of her nose, looking very tired.

It's not easy for you, Xu Shuo said in his heart.
