Chapter 9: Hard Work and Enjoyment
"Alas, man."
Under the shade of a tree not far from the Black Lake, Zhan Lan, who was sitting on a richly decorated chair and holding steaming black tea, shook his head with a smile and withdrew his gaze from Zheng Zha and Yang Yun in the distance.
As a spiritual power controller, Zhan Lan could naturally hear the conversation between the two clearly, but because of this, she couldn't understand it even more: "Where did they come from?" Even in this kind of break, when you can relax your whole body, you should shift the conversation to this aspect. ”
Zhan Lan is qualified to say this, because at this time, she is really enjoying life and enjoying this rare rest. During the winter break, without the noisy little wizards to take care of, the free-time house-elves spent almost a hundred and twenty percent of their energy to entertain Headmaster Dumbledore's distinguished guests - not only did they prepare a wide variety of exquisite snacks in the shortest possible time, but they even thoughtfully covered the long table with a tablecloth tattooed with gold wire and the Hogwarts crest.
If it weren't for Zhan Lan's polite rejection of these house-elves' kindness, she had no doubt that they would come up with a standard that was ten times higher than this. First, an ordinary afternoon tea party will be transformed into a grand banquet scene, and then the best waiter will be waiting respectfully to meet all the requirements of the two ladies at the first time.
"I don't think it's wrong to let my mind relax completely, even when I'm on vacation. In the words of Alastor Moody, whom I once met on a mission, 'be vigilant at all times'. ”
On the other side of the long table, Zhao Yingkong put down the book in his hand and glanced at Zhan Lan: "In this main god space where you don't get strong and you will die, you must have a sense of urgency, otherwise one day you may die in a horror movie because you are not strong enough......"
"But Sister Sakura, you have also changed a lot from when you first entered the main god space, in the past, you didn't even want to go on vacation to Hawaii, let alone sit together for afternoon tea like now."
was scolded by Zhao Yingkong, Zhan Lan was not annoyed, she put down the teacup with a smile and looked at the book in Zhao Ying's empty hand: "Or is it really so good-looking called "Horror Infinite"?" ”
"On the one hand, I am increasing my knowledge to see if I can find any inspiration for my own skills, and on the other hand, I am also exercising my information gathering ability and summarizing skills to extract effective information from a large amount of information."
Zhao Ying closed the book without changing her face, took a cup of black tea and took a sip lightly, both her posture and etiquette were impeccable, and she had an elegant and classical charm in it, which made Zhan Lan's eyes light up.
"The Assassin family is also a big family that has been passed down for thousands of years, and sometimes it is also necessary to carry out disguise and infiltration work, so naturally there are training courses in this area."
Sensing the meaning of inquiry in Zhan Lan's eyes, Zhao Yingkong explained slightly: "Although there is no way to be flawless, there is no problem in dealing with high-end occasions, and this is the result of learning...... Even the most unpopular knowledge may be used one day. ”
"That's amazing, Sister Sakura."
Zhan Lan leaned forward slightly, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and looked at Zhao Yingkong with a smile: "Although your awe-inspiring appearance is also very cute now, I still like the previous one more than you now." At the very least, as an ordinary human being, she will express her thoughts calmly, enjoy the life she should enjoy, and talk and discuss with her partners...... It's not like you, who impose rules on yourself as a constraint and force yourself to 'must' do something. ”
As soon as Zhan Lan's words fell, the atmosphere in the air condensed slightly for a moment, Zhao Yingkong put down the teacup in his hand, and said coldly: "You don't understand what I'm carrying, and you don't understand that I have a reason to become stronger......
"Well, I actually know everything."
Facing Zhao Yingkong's words that sounded very forceful, Zhan Lan showed an embarrassed but polite smile: "During that time in Rengominiade, I actually chatted with you a lot of personality, such as some women's intimate topics, after all, love is also a kind of battle...... And seeing that she was always preoccupied, I tried to enlighten her? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yingkong's face suddenly darkened by half, she subconsciously sank her thoughts into the depths of her heart, and after discovering the traces that were partially covered by the master's personality, the other half's face was also completely darkened: "She is her, I am me, the two of us are similar but not exactly the same, it is difficult to call it the same person......"
"But you're all Zhao Yingkong."
Zhan Lan said seriously: "So, there are some deeper things that will not change, you just haven't completely walked out of the past, so you subconsciously follow the previous way of life to survive." But deep down in your heart, a lot has already changed...... Not only this time, but also the last time, if you were still the 'Zhao Yingkong' who had just entered the main god space, then you would not accept my invitation at all. ”
In the next moment, as a refined, condensed, but softer spiritual power swept across his cheeks than before, Zhao Yingkong realized something in hindsight: "You actually unlocked the third-order genetic lock?" ”
Obviously, even I am still one step away from the door-
"It's just a fluke, I just broke through before."
Zhan Lan seemed to know what Zhao Yingkong wanted to say, and she waved her hand carelessly: "Actually, there is no secret, eat well, sleep well, cultivate well, everything will take its course...... That's what I think, and that's what I do. If there's one reason why I had to figure it out, it's that I confronted my heart and really understood what I wanted after that Resident Evil II fight. ”
"It's important to study hard, but that's not the whole story."
Zhan Lan looked to the other side, and in the scanning of her spiritual power, the fishing rod in Yang Yun's hand was exuding incomparably subtle life energy, spreading out like ripples, attracting a large number of fish; Zheng Zhe, on the other hand, tried to carefully control his strength, trying to artificially create a large number of small waves in the way of "resonance", and gently pushed the swimming fish in the deep water onto his hook.
And just when the two of them showed their powers, there was a mermaid at the bottom of the black lake who swam near the surface of the water for some reason, and then looked at Chu Xuan's hook curiously, followed by the overlord's shocked and excited shout-
"Come and see! Chu Xuan really caught the mermaid! ”
"Think about it, Sister Sakuraku. Although I also know that my cultivation method is not suitable for everyone, it is much better to have a peaceful mind than to be impatient. Now that I can understand this truth, Yang Yun has also broken through the fourth-order genetic lock after facing his heart, and he has lived more transparently than before...... So, what are you not letting go of? ”
Looking at the chickens and dogs jumping on Chu Xuan's side, and putting down the fishing rod in his hand and preparing to see the lively Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan looked back at the thoughtful Zhao Yingkong and showed a faint smile.
"Those who practice hard will never be able to catch up with those who enjoy their cultivation." (End of chapter)
