After a warm good morning hug from the whole family, it's time to start a busy day.

Achina patrols the valley on a daily basis to eliminate any hidden dangers that may arise.

Under the operation of the duke, her current identity on the surface is the head of the secret village of the valley, the kind officially recognized.

The whole valley has also become an ordinary small village under the jurisdiction of the local government.

Mountainous and sparsely populated, and often infested with dangerous wild animals, the most valuable industries are acres of vineyards and a dilapidated factory that is almost abandoned.

There is no oil and water in the middle of nowhere.

The local government didn't even bother to send officials to station, and only demanded that the tax be paid in full every year.

The third lady, Danielle, still liked to be her mother's little attendant, and went with her wife to patrol the castle.

Before leaving, he also took away the ancient dragon prayer book that faintly haunted thunder and lightning.

For Leon promised her that if she learned any of the prayers in the book, he would give her a holy seal.

The eldest lady Bella is more self-aware, she knows very well that she is far inferior to the second and third children in terms of learning, so she waits for her two younger sisters to learn before feeding her food.

In return, she has to help her second sister complete the task assigned by her mother: to inventory the underground wine cellar.

Although the red wine made by the Ti family is currently missing the top product 'Sanji Vicky (Girl's Blood)', the quality of the rest of the red wine is still far better than the market average, and it is very sought after by some old aristocrats and wealthy merchants.

Not long ago, Madame had just negotiated a big order, and she needed to count the number of cellars and send them out of the valley.

In addition, the cellar has long been cleaned and renovated, and it is no longer the dark dungeon of the past, which was full of blood.

Kassandra and Bella leave together, and she is going back to the library to continue her study of prayer.

The room that was still lively dozens of minutes ago was soon left with only Leon alone, like a left-behind child with nothing to do.

However, it didn't take long for him to stand in the room.

Elena, who has been promoted to head maid, has come to clean the room with a few newly recruited little maids.

Seeing that the group of little maids secretly looked at him as the male master with nervous and restrained expressions, Li Ang took the initiative to leave the room in order not to interfere with their work.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to the old Benevento house first.

Then she went into the fungus net and explained to Miranda why her three assistants didn't come to work today.

Arrived without a word all the way.

When he passed by the grave of Donna's parents, he didn't forget to pick some early spring flowers and put them on.

The old mansion still looked a little bleak, and so did Donna, dressed in black and covered with a turban, standing under the porch waiting for him.

In order to prevent outsiders from inadvertently breaking in, the valley is now full of doll eyeliner.

So as soon as Leon came out of the castle, she already knew.

"When did you come back? Are you feeling better? ”

Donna's mood is as stable as ever, although she can't see any joy at reunion after a long absence, the only person who may let her take the initiative to go out to greet her is the man in front of her.

Li Ang opened his arms and hugged her: "I just came back yesterday, and my body is almost better." ”

"That's good." Donna buried her head in the man's chest, sniffing at him lovingly.

After a moment's warmth, the two walked into the old mansion holding hands.

Li Ang looked around at the familiar decoration in the room, and inexplicably felt a little too quiet: "There is a question, why didn't you control Anji in front of me later?" ”

Donna bowed her head in silence.

Seeing this, Li Ang wisely did not continue to ask.

"The furniture is a little old, do you plan to find time to renovate it?"

Donna looked up again: "It's up to you." ”

Although this is Benevento's ancestral home, she has lived underground for a long time, and it doesn't matter to her what the above-ground part looks like.

Li Ang raised his eyebrows: "Then I'll talk to Madame and start construction when the weather is warmer." ”

"In the meantime, will you move to the castle?"

At this moment, he suddenly felt like he was coaxing Anji's child.

Donna thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The two walked and chatted, eventually arriving at the puppeteer's underground bedroom.

On the shelves of the bookcase, a doll made after Li Ang snuggles quietly with Anji, and a large golden birdcage hangs next to it.

"Don't tell me this blue-haired round-faced fat chicken is the Dawn Crow!"

Leon turned to look at Donna.

And Donna looked at her feet embarrassedly: "I'm afraid that I can't raise it well, so I usually feed a little too much." ”

Leon reached out and touched Lingya, and when he saw that the world beacon was still there, he stopped paying attention.

If you're fat, you're fat, if you can't die, you'll be fine.

"It's okay to let it fly for a while, anyway, you're underground here, and it can't get out."

"Anyway, this chicken has the ability to bring good luck, you have raised it for so long, do you feel that your luck has improved?"

Donna thought about it and replied, "When I carved the dolls, I didn't seem to make so many mistakes. ”

Leon didn't know if it was lucky.

"Speaking of carving, I came back this time with a gift for you."

Donna cast a curious look: "Mrs. Dimitrescu, do they have a gift too?" ”

Every time she addressed Madame, she would take her surname seriously.

"Yes, I have carefully prepared them." Leon began to dig things out.

Donna is a little different from others.

Generally, the young lady is: is the gift for me alone, or do other girls have it?

Donna, on the other hand, would not have taken Madame and Bella if they hadn't.

She is very accurate in her positioning, there is no such thing as competing for favor, and she will not be in front of the above two at any time.

So Leon always felt that she was a wise man.

What is given to a wise man is certainly not the same as others.

[Colorful Necklace] can greatly improve immunity, health, and sanity, and it was originally intended to be used by Malenia to resist corruption, but then Leon forgot about it, and Maleia can't use it now.

Just right for Donna, who has always been in poor health.

In addition to the amulet, Leon also collected a large number of notes on the making of the puppet and gave it to her, plus a pair of complete puppets.

[Witch of the Night and Swordsman]

An ancient golem from the Eternal City, two sisters, the Night Witch and the Knox Swordsman.

Leon hopes that Donna can use these products from another world to touch the same and improve her puppet-making skills.

A well-prepared gift can naturally please a beautiful woman.

Even Donna, who rarely showed her emotions, couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and kiss him on the cheek.

Then I couldn't wait to sit down at my desk to verify the content of the notes.

"Then you take your time, I'll go into the fungus net." Leon said, lying down on the large bed in the bedroom.

After he closed his eyes, Donna silently moved her chair to the side of the bed and continued to look through her notes.

Because of the blending and infiltration with the Great Blessing, the fungus net has become a little different from before, and there are many architectural remains on the first and second floors with obvious junction style, such as a column, a half-cut stone wall, or the pedestal of a certain statue.

The sky, which was originally full of fog and chaos, could faintly see the phantom of a huge walled city.

No wonder Madame said that she had to come and see the situation as soon as possible, and if Li Ang didn't know the reason, he would definitely be taken aback.

Only the third floor has not been affected at all, with blue sky and clear water, lawn villas.

As Miranda's own land, she protects it well.

The relationship between Leon and the great mother goddess is actually quite awkward, although they are no longer enemies, they are not friends, and the reason why the two can still talk peacefully is all due to the mediation of Eva, who is a small ghost.

When I walked to the door of the villa, I was about to raise my hand and knock on the door, but I suddenly remembered something.

He pulled out a dark leather bag full of sweet-stuffed dried fruit.

can only be said to be worthy of Li Ang's cow and horse brothers, who have helped him too much.

"Eva."

"Eva? Come and see what I brought you. ”

At the same time, the children's room on the first floor of the villa.

Eva, who was reviewing her homework, looked up suddenly: "Mom, I seem to hear Dad calling me." ”

Miranda, who was sitting next to the supervision, pretended to be angry and patted her daughter's little head.

"Nonsense, Dad has been on a business trip these days, how can he come back."

"You want to hang out again, don't you?"

Eva frowned: "But I really seem to hear it"

"Huh?" Miranda gave her daughter a stern look.

Eva picked up the pen again as if deflated, and had just written a few words, and her mind didn't know where to go.

"Mom, Sister Bella, why didn't they come today?"

Miranda was actually quite puzzled: "I don't know, I probably have something else to do, so I can also take a day off and spend time with my baby daughter." ”

After speaking, he couldn't help pinching Eva's delicate little face.

However, her baby daughter did not appreciate it: "I want my father to be with me more." ”

Before the old mother got angry, Eva immediately changed the subject: "Mom, I have a question for you. ”

"Sister Bella said that Dad is his husband, is it true?"

"If it's true, why don't you get Daddy back?"

Miranda's daughter's words made Miranda somewhat embarrassed: "Well, this is a matter between us adults, you children don't need to care." ”

Eva poked her face with her pen and said thoughtfully, "Oh, it must be that Mommy didn't work hard enough." ”

"If you had worked hard every day like Eva, Dad wouldn't have been like this now."

"Actually. Sister Bella is also very nice, often brings me snacks and tells stories. ”

"The other two sisters are also very good to me."

As she spoke, she turned her head, and two pigtails flew along.

"Mom, can I choose her as a mother?"

Miranda, who had just taken a sip of tea to try to ease the embarrassment, almost threw the cup in her hand.

"What did you say?!"

Eva looked at her old mother with an angry face: "I said."

After a long time, Xiao Lori suddenly pointed in the direction of the door: "I said that someone is really knocking on the door, I don't believe you can go and see." ”

Miranda actually heard a knock on the door at this time, and slammed the teacup down on the table.

"I'll open the door, you review your homework in the room, don't come out!"

Eva was accustomed to her mother's sternness and waved at her mother as she walked towards the door: "Bye-bye, Mommy. ”

And in response to her, there was a crisp closing of the door.

Eva shrugged helplessly, learning the cheap daddy's little gestures out of ten.

"My temper is really bad, and Sister Bella never gets angry."

On the other side, Miranda, who didn't know that her baby daughter was arranging herself, wiped her hand on her clothes with the tea and opened the door.

"It's really you! I thought Eva had misheard. ”

Li Ang, who had been waiting for a long time, complained: "If no one opens the door for me, I plan to climb in through the chimney." ”

Miranda covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's still early for Christmas, so I don't need you Santa Claus." ”

"But Eva needs me as a dad." Li Ang winked at the mother goddess: "Besides, I really brought a gift for her." ”

Then it's time to step inside

"Alas, alas." Miranda blocked the entrance with her body: "I didn't let you in." ”

Li Ang reluctantly retreated: "I'm not here to fight with you for custody, I just want to see Eva." ”

Miranda spat him angrily, then leaned against the door frame and folded her arms.

"Went out for treatment and came back? How's it going? ”

Li Ang suddenly realized that he had to let him in the door, because he was afraid that Eva would hear it.

"I'm in good health now, and the two Mother Goddesses can't beat me together."

Miranda glared angrily after hearing this: "The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, is it deliberately angry with me?" ”

Li Ang immediately laughed and said: "No, no, how dare I, isn't this to make it easier for you to understand." ”

"Hush." Miranda didn't bother to tease him, and let in: "Come in." ”

Li Ang re-entered the door, found a place on the sofa and sat down, and put the bag of dried fruit on the coffee table.

Miranda glanced out the door, closed the door and walked to the living room.

"The three sisters didn't come today, it has something to do with you, right?"

Li Ang pouted: "A little thirsty." ”

Miranda gave him a blank look, turned around and went to the kitchen to pour water.

At this time, the door of the children's room at the end of the corridor twitched softly, and a small head poked out, and then shouted in surprise: "Dad! ”

Hearing the call, Li Ang immediately got up: "It's Eva, come and let me hug me." ”

Eva excitedly trotted all the way into his arms.

When Miranda came back with the freshly brewed tea, she saw the scene of the father and daughter enjoying themselves.

Eva sat in Leon's arms, holding sweet dried fruit in her hand, and her smile was as sweet as honey.

"Dad, you can taste it too, it's sweet!"

Li Ang refused with a smile: "Dad doesn't eat it, go give it to Mom." ”

"Good!" Eva happily agreed, got off him, and ran to the old mother.

"Mom, the snacks that Dad brought back are very delicious!"

Miranda squatted down and touched her daughter's head, quipping, "A few fruits bought you?" ”

Eva scratched her head suspiciously: "What a bribe, he's a father." ”

“.” Miranda was speechless.

Leon slapped his leg and laughed.

When Eva saw her father laughing, she smirked along.

Miranda was annoyed and angry, picked up the bag of dried fruits on the table and stuffed it into her daughter's arms: "Go, go, go back to the room and do your homework, mom has something to talk to this uncle." ”

Eva, who had finally turned around three times, was finally driven into the room, and then saw Leon leisurely drinking tea.

"Uncle, I like tea the most."

Miranda was angry and funny when she saw this: ", you don't have a proper shape every day, Eva has been taught bad by you." ”

He sat down across from the man and poured himself a glass.

"Tell me, what are the women who don't accompany you doing here?"

"Don't use Eva as an excuse."

Li Ang put down the teacup unhurriedly, and the broken golden snake eyes were as bright as stars, which made the mother goddess feel a trace of awe.

"The improvement plan for the black light virus can be stopped."

"Bella, they're not here today because of that."

Miranda was stunned, then stood up and asked, "What do you mean!" Pull the ladder up behind you? ”

"Leon, you're even more stupid than I thought! It's just stupid! ”

The improvement of the black light is related to whether her daughter Eva can be resurrected and whether she can live in the sun as a normal person, of course she will be anxious.

Li Ang stretched out his hand and pressed it weakly: "Don't be impatient, Mother God." ”

"Listen to me slowly."

"After listening to this, I hope you can apologize to me for being rude."

Miranda sat down with a frown, her hands folded around her chest, her body tilted to the side, and she did not hide her resistance to the man in front of her.

Li Ang didn't care about her attitude, and said to himself:

"First of all, I stopped the improvement program because I found a solution to the problem."

"Second, my previous promise to resurrect your mother and daughter is still valid."

"Now, when I'm done, apologize."

Miranda's expression was solemn, her face was blue and white, but she refused to speak.

Li Ang didn't speak anymore, raised his hand and leaned back on the sofa, looking at her quietly.

Since Eva's return, Miranda seems to have become more and more tolerant, but in fact, she has always retained the pride of the mother goddess and ruler in her heart.

The fact that he showed an equal attitude was due to the fact that both sides had their own needs.

And he has the strength to be no weaker than Miranda.

That's what respect is all about.

But Leon wanted Miranda to know today that the two were never equal.

He is strong, he has the ability to resurrect mother and daughter, and he should be on it.

Miranda is weak, and has a request for him, so it should be under it.

Leon wanted to subdue her, in case she had other thoughts after she was resurrected, and made some kind of moth.

In today's valleys, stability is the most important.

So the two generations of rulers of the valley were in a stalemate, until the simulated sky outside the window went from clear to starry.

Leon is like a boiling eagle, and Miranda is stronger than an ox.

In the end, it was Eva who broke the deadlock.

She opened the door and rubbed her sleepy eyes: "Mom, it's time to go to bed, you promised to sleep with me tonight, and I haven't eaten dinner yet, I'm so hungry." ”

When Miranda heard her daughter's voice, her gloomy face immediately panicked.

He first glanced at the man opposite, then turned to his daughter and said, "Mom, this is coming." ”

Before leaving, she finally held back a sentence: "I'm sorry." ”

The voice was as thin as a mosquito's moan, trembling slightly, if it weren't for Li Ang's good ears, he might not be able to hear it clearly.

Getting the answer he wanted, he got up from the sofa: "It's not early, I'll visit again tomorrow." ”

After saying that, he left two things on the coffee table before turning to leave.

Seeing that her father was leaving, Eva tried to break free from her mother's hand and chase after her.

Miranda, however, held her daughter tightly in her arms.

When Leon walked out of the villa, Eva looked up and asked, "You and Dad quarreled again, right?" ”

Miranda squatted down to wipe the tears from her daughter's face: "No, we're just him, it's not you."

Several times in a row, she didn't know how to explain it to Eva.

"yes, we're arguing."

"Don't talk about that, Mommy is going to make you dinner, what do you want to eat today, dear Eva?"
