I'm Back
It was already three days since the Demon general and all his subordinates had been completely wiped out. Although the carriage driver had been frightened by it at first, he had since returned to his usual calmness.
Looking at the destination Small Town that they had finally reached, Li Yan stretched his somewhat aching and sore old back. If he hadn't brought the Little Fool along on this journey, he would have nearly been rattled into a muggle by all the bumps along the way.
Having enjoyed the personal service of a maid at home for several months, spending leisure time drinking afternoon tea or milk tea, and being able to eat some small pastries and fruits—such as those purple-alluring grapes and green-alluring cantaloupes—the tastes were all extremely fresh and sweet.
Those fruits grew on snowy white peaks, usually shielded by protective barriers of various colors so their true appearances could not be seen; only during Li Yan's free time would he have the leisure to go and personally pick and taste them.
After finishing enjoying the corrupt lifestyle of a nobility, suddenly accepting a long-distance carriage trek was something no one could endure. With the Little Fool massaging and serving him all along the way, Li Yan had been able to arrive safely and comfortably.
I wonder how godmother and Junior Sister are doing now.
Li Yan stuffed the local specialties and various candies he was carrying into a different dimension. This was a small different dimension he had developed along the way, which could just barely accommodate these local specialties. To expand it any further, the strength of Space Magic and Mana needed to be developed.
Just like wanting to enjoy all kinds of stimulating art, it naturally couldn't be separated from unconstrained imagination and practical action. Of course, physical constitution was also very important. Ballet on the fingertips, wind, fire, lightning and tornado spirals, ragged maid outfits dancing in the air, white threads flitting about to dazzle the eyes—these were all manifestations of art, and only Li Yan, who was proficient in magic and possessed a strong physique, could develop these unique arts.
Regarding the study of art, Li Yan was serious. In his past life, he was a polymath of art: things like 92 videos, 2D dimensions, huahuakaka, forbidden nn paradise, Tokyo is too hot—those were all places where elegant art was displayed, and also where the vast majority of art scholars studied.
Pulling his thoughts back from drifting too far, Li Yan bade farewell to the carriage driver and, holding the Little Fool by the hand, walked toward the direction of his godmother Flamme's house. That was a very long mountain path, with flowers and plants planted along the roadside, possessing an exceptional sense of aesthetics. The Little Fool trotted all the way; this scenery close to nature made the Little Fool, who hadn't left the castle or the traveling carriage for a long time, quite cheerful for a while.
"Slow down, Little Fool. If you fall, I won't care about you."
Li Yan called out from behind the Little Fool, his eyes closely fixed on the Little Fool's back. As soon as there was any movement of the Little Fool falling, he would immediately cast Space Magic to catch up.
"Master, it's so pretty here! Come quickly."
The Little Fool shouted joyfully, picking wild flowers along the roadside while trotting toward the mountain.
Looking at the Little Fool letting herself go, Li Yan followed along leisurely. Hearing the Little Fool's brisk voice, to be honest, he was also somewhat eager to move.
There was no help for it; staying in a carriage for a long time, and sometimes having to sleep inside a carriage in the middle of the night—although the luxury carriage was very spacious, such a stuffy environment was extremely uncomfortable. If it were one or two days that would be fine, but for several days in a row, this kind of thing was simply not something a person could endure.
Looking at the location of the dwelling getting progressively closer, Li Yan used instantaneous movement to flash right in front of the Little Fool, who had already let herself go, and grabbed her by the neck of fate with an unfeeling iron hand.
"Stop messing around, we're home."
The Little Fool blinked her eyes, looking at the wooden house ahead that resembled a small villa, and could not help slightly opening her small mouth as sudden realization dawned in her heart.
Whew, we've finally arrived.
With an instant fluctuation of mana, Flamme inside the wooden house villa slightly furrowed her brows, and then, recalling something, a faint smile carried at the corner of her mouth.
Frieren looked with perplexity at Flamme, whose corners of the mouth could not be suppressed from smiling even while doing magic experiments, and scratched her hair in confusion.
Gazing at the wooden house villa that was drawing closer and closer, Li Yan with a palpitating heart gently knocked on the room door. The door was unlocked, just as usual, and a faint smile rose at the corner of Li Yan's mouth.
"I'm back, godmother, Junior Sister."
