Chapter 1: The Cottage in the Woods

New Gentry Town.

Midsummer afternoon.

Cicadas chirp.

The stone streets were scorched hot by the scorching sun.

Two beautiful girls, holding hands, walking side by side.

Kelly, a tall man, holds up a parasol.

The parasol tilted to the left and covered the petite girl's head.

lest the little junior sister next to her be tanned by the sun.

At the end of the street, there is the way up the mountain.

The trail along the gentle slope is obscured by the shadows under the trees on both sides.

The breeze is blowing, and the branches and leaves are shaking.

The shade of the trees on the trail also swayed slightly.

Light and shadow intertwine to weave a mottled natural carpet.

Kelly walked up the boulevard and put away her parasol.

At the top of the hillside, a lawn is surrounded by sparse trees.

A fence wall separates the woods from the meadow and encloses the courtyard.

Kelly pushed open the courtyard door and walked along the bluestone path.

Angel followed behind her, looking curiously left and right.

After the completion of the forest house, she visited for the first time.

The pomegranate trees transplanted around the courtyard wall are in full bloom.

Purple bell-shaped flowers, somewhat resembling tulips.

There are benches for walking and resting under the trees, and there is a clear pond where fish swim in the water.

The well was erected, and the thrush stood on the crank, chirping.

A leopard lay on its stomach beside the well, lazily looking at the thrush, with an unhappy face.

If it weren't for the fact that her master forbade bird hunting, she wouldn't have allowed this noisy little thing to stumble in front of her.

Kelly walked over to the well.

The leopard trotted over and rubbed flatteringly on the hostess's lap.

"Huahua, so good~"

Kelly stroked the female leopard's head and sent her to play elsewhere.

Roll up your sleeves and shake your wheel.

With a creaking sound, the well rope lifted the barrel.

"Sister Kelly, I'll help you fetch water!"

Angel rolled up her sleeves and volunteered.

"No, wait a minute, I'll play a trick on you."

Kelly smiled mysteriously.

Leaned over to the wellhead and picked up the barrel.

"Bell, bell! Become a big watermelon! ”

Kelly thoughtfully flushes the bucket with a cast gesture.

Angel looked at it, half a bucket of clear well water, soaked in a large watermelon with green skin and black flowers.

"Wow!!" The girl exclaimed, her eyes full of joy.

"Eat melon, eat melon! Chilled watermelon! ”

Kelly used her hand as a knife to crack open the watermelon.

Two girls sat on a stone bench by the well, nibbling on watermelons.

"It's so sweet! It's delicious! ”

Angel's green eyes narrowed into two slits.

"Sister Kelly, you put the watermelon in the well?"

"Mmmmmm~" Kelly shook her head while nibbling on melons, "My brother put it here." ”

"Uh, we secretly ate the melon, isn't my brother angry?"

Angel was a little worried.

"Who stole the melons? I didn't see it! Kelly's face was full of innocence, "Maybe the thrush stole it?" Or else it's Flowey! ”

"Sister Kelly...... You're really his sister! Angel couldn't laugh or cry.

After eating the chilled watermelon, the heat is completely gone, and the whole body is refreshed.

Two naughty girls, burping, walked to the door.

In the center of the courtyard, a three-story house with a cloister was built.

On the first floor is the entrance, kitchen, dining room, living room, storage room.

On the second floor is the master bedroom, ten guest rooms, living room, nursery room.

On the third floor are offices, libraries, art showrooms.

The dΓ©cor is elegant, with sophisticated carpets and furnishings.

"Sister Kelly, are you and Senior Brother Allen the only ones living here?"

"Hmmm! It's quiet here, so it's easy for us to practice. ”

"Mom and Dad, busy with work, too lazy to run back and forth, just live in the town, it's more convenient."

Kelly led Angel up the stairs.

"Upstairs there are two bedrooms, just for you and Teacher Sora."

Needless to say, Angel can see it.

Mom's room with a fairy insignia painted on the door.

In the adjoining room, the door is painted with the emblem of a cat-eared bee lady.

The "secret imprints" of the mother and daughter are all from Allen's hands.

It's pretty cute!

Angel pursed her lips and snickered.

"In the future, you and Teacher Sola will also live here, so that it is convenient for them to gather and practice."

Kelly opened the door and introduced Angel.

"There is a kitchenette in the bedroom, there is a bathroom, and if there is anything missing, tell me, you must be satisfied with the package."

"Thank you, Sister Kelly!" Angel turned her head to look at the master bedroom and asked tentatively, "Senior Brother Allen...... Sleeping alone? ”

"Well, he's still a bachelor after all!"

Kelly smiled.

"I've always taken care of Alan's room, and sometimes I take a nap on his bed, which is big and soft, and it's very comfortable to sleep on."

"Senior brother is not at home?" Angel didn't hear any movement in the master bedroom.

"He's in the underground practice room, that kid is a cultivation maniac!" Kelly sighed.

"In another week, Senior Brother will go to the Silver Moon Monastery to take this year's entrance exam, of course, you have to work hard!"

Angel said softly.

"When he doesn't take exams, isn't he still practicing hard?"

Kelly shrugged and spread her hands.

"No wonder he has improved so fast, it is said that he is about to break through the bottleneck and be promoted to the third order!"

"Senior brother is a super genius, and he works so hard, and he should make rapid progress." Angel felt a little inferior, "I'm far behind......"

"Aren't you about to break through?" Kelly asked Angel.

"That's what I said, but it's too difficult for me to break through alone!" Angel sighed.

"Our cultivation has encountered similar bottlenecks." Kelly smiled wryly.

"I was stuck in the knight tournament in Lancer City, and you, you were captured by the Yabei Bee Clan and became a prisoner of war, which is quite unlucky!"

"If you can't do it yourself, you can only rely on assembly meditation and arrest Alan to help."

"But...... Senior brother said that cultivation mainly depends on individuals, and unless you are forced to do so, don't ask him for help, otherwise the harm will outweigh the benefits. ”

Angel hesitated.

"Silly girl! Isn't now the time to have to do it? ”

Kelly smiled and stroked the little girl's head.

"Alan said that, because he was afraid that you would become dependent on him, but you can't give up eating because of choking!"

"Okay, you tidy up your room first, I'll go downstairs to find Allen, try to see if I can break through the bottleneck today."

"Well, Sister Kelly, when you're done, send me a letter."

Angel said meekly.

After listening to Kelly's words, she was no longer entangled.

My cultivation progress has been stuck for a long time.

If you don't break through, you will be left behind by the senior brother......

Sister Kelly doesn't mind asking Allen for help, meditating on double cultivation, breaking through the bottleneck, why should she be too hypocritical?

Senior Brother Allen, it's like a humanoid cheat.

Use it with caution at ordinary times, open it at a critical moment, and it doesn't hurt to think about it!

……

In the basement of the villa, is Allen's private practice room.

The spacious hall is equipped with various practice props.

There is also a secret room dedicated to meditation.

The floors, walls and ceilings are covered with a thick layer of soft blankets, which are very soundproof.

The sconces emit a soft, magically cool light that doesn't interfere with meditation.

The quaint bronze incense burner was moved by Ms. Sora.

The spices burned in the furnace have the effect of aiding meditation.

Kelly took off her shoes and socks at the door and walked barefoot into the meditation room.

He stepped barefoot on the soft carpet without making the slightest sound.

However, Alan, who was fiddling with the incense burner, turned around vigilantly and smiled at his sister.

Kelly walked up to her brother and sat on the floor, wrapping her arms around him, habitually sassing a little girl.

The rest of the conversation became serious.

"Alan, I brought Angel here."

"Angel is still a virgin, when are you going to marry her?"

"Your question...... It's hard for me to answer. Alan kissed his sister on the cheek, "I'm not in a hurry for this kind of thing, what do you care." ”

"I'm your sister, I don't worry about who cares!"

Kelly glanced sideways at her brother.

"You want to create a warlock family, and you can study hard and practice your own, and you can use it as a fart!"

"Of course, we have to work the inheritance!"

"Only by multiplying your excellent bloodline, and having a full house of descendants, can you be called a family!"

"Sister, I'm still young......"

"If you don't work hard when you're young, when you're old, it's too late!"

Kelly whispered in her brother's ear.

"Whether a person is prosperous or not is the most important thing related to the rise and fall of a warlock family!"

"Our Pansers family, you are the only man, if you don't work hard to have children, who else can you count on?"

"While you are young, marrying a few more daughters-in-law is more useful than your stupid practice!"

"But then again, marry a wife and marry a virtuous man."

"So, I'm a sister, I have to take care of you!"

"Angel, this little girl, I look at it well."

"Cute, well-behaved, and the most important thing is that there is no jealousy."

Kelly crossed her fingers and calculated.

"At the very least, she won't kick me out of the house after she crosses the door."

"Sister! What are you thinking? Alan couldn't help laughing, "You are the mistress of this family, who dares to drive you away?" ”

"Alas, when you marry a daughter-in-law, I won't be a hostess!" Kelly sighed faintly.

"Whether I marry a wife or not, you will always be the mistress."

Alan held his sister's hand with a gentle but firm expression.

A twitch appeared in Kelly's eyes, and she bit her red lip and stopped talking.

"Alan, I've heard that the Warlock family, in order to keep the bloodline pure, is widespread...... What's ......?"

"Inbreeding?" Alan spoke for her sister about something she was ashamed to talk about.

"In that case, will you give birth to a deformed child?!" Kelly asked worriedly.

"This problem is not difficult for warlocks to solve, otherwise there will be no warlock family." Alan replied implicitly.

Kelly seemed relieved.

Holding his brother's arm, he was stunned and imaginative.

Alan coughed lightly and said casually: "Sister, you are also a member of the Pansers family, you have awakened the warlock bloodline, and you also have a responsibility for the reproduction and prosperity of the family." ”

"Well, if you want, I'll do my duty."

Kelly whispered, her face flushed.

"Sister, I mean, in fact, our family can also recruit a son-in-law......"

Alan didn't say any more.

It can be seen that my sister is unhappy.

"You kid, what's going on in your head!" Kelly poked a finger on her brother's forehead, "You died of this heart as soon as possible!" ”

Alan shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, and changed the subject knowingly.

"Kelly, don't talk about these boring things, your cultivation is about to break through, and now it's still a step away."

Alan took out the watering can and sprayed the psychic spores.

"I'm going to set up a meditation meeting to help you open the door to a higher realm."
