Cole was very stubborn with his father, but he was much closer to his sister. He pulled Irene's hand away, his eyes red like a rabbit's. "I'm not wrong, sister."

"I — I've been thinking that for a long time. Perhaps out of the three of us, father is most satisfied with Big Brother. If Big Brother can be resurrected —"

The young boy wiped his tears as he spoke. Irene patted him on the back. "What are you talking about?"

She then turned to Xu Jun. "Mr. Xu Jun, please don't take it to heart. My brother is just talking nonsense."

The Illuminati had a clear explanation for human death. After death, a person's soul would be judged to decide whether they would go to Heaven or Hell. Devout believers of the God of Light would return to Heaven, to the side of their God. Heretics and criminals would go to Hell, never to be at peace.

Resurrection did not exist in the Illuminati's teachings. It was called "a trick of the evil undead to deceive the people."

If Cole's words were spread, it would have a bad impact on the Newt family.

Cole knew he had said something wrong, but Xu Jun rubbed his head. "Be careful next time. Not everyone is as godless as me."

After saying that, she even winked.

Cole and Irene were stunned. Holy shit!

Someone actually dared to say he didn't believe in God!

All of a sudden, Xu Jun appeared to be a lofty figure in their eyes. It was as if he had completed his transformation from an ordinary person to a non-mainstream teenager.

The poor old butler, who had been forced to listen to a lot of things he shouldn't have, stood to the side like a petrified quail.

Jess had already run in from the front hall, as if this was his home.

Like most noble mansions, this was a relatively small manor. In the city center, where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold, this was considered very luxurious. Generally speaking, their real manors were in the countryside. The land was vast, and they could use it however they wanted. There were gardens, horse farms, greenhouses, and cold storage. It was like a small palace.

For example, Newt's house in Mundama City was rather tight. The garden was a small one, and one could see a small glass botanical garden, which was also a greenhouse.

The cold storage was underground, opposite the greenhouse, and placed together with the warehouse.

Although the sparrow was small, it had all its vital organs. However, the sparrow itself definitely wished that it was bigger.

City Lord Newt's City Lord Mansion was a stone castle. From the outside to the inside, it was similar to the architecture of the Gold Flag Empire.

There were corridors in the garden. The nobles under the Golden Banner liked to plant Forest Orchid vines around the wooden corridors. The vines bloomed three times a year, and the small petals were pink and blue. The young and fresh nobles recited poems, sang songs, and talked about love under the wooden corridors.

Mengdama City was located in the south and could not grow Forest Rosewood vines. They could only grow Forest Rosewood's relative, the Purple Oriole Vine.

The pinkish-purple flowers were like stars, embellished in a patch of green. There were two small tables under the Purple Oriole Vine, and the two tables were surrounded by naughty children and horses.

Xu Jun had always thought that his children were very obedient. Whether it was Rance or Steamed Bun, they were not naughty children. However, now he saw Steamed Bun eating the flowers on the Purple Oriole Vine, and Rance even went to the monkey tree to help him pull the vine's branches.

It looked like a bald patch was about to fall off.

Xu Jun's face was fierce as he quickly walked over. "Rance, Steamed Bun, what are you doing?!"

Rance was still sitting on the tree with his legs crossed. He took out a bouquet from behind his back. "Dad, we picked flowers for you. They're for you."

This bouquet … was also a small pinkish-purple flower. Xu Jun looked at the Purple Oriole Vine that was already bald. He clapped his hands and had Rance come down. "You can't do this in the future, okay?

These are other people's flowers. How can you just pick them?

And Steamed Bun!

Hurry up and stop eating! "

Steamed Bun whined. "Can the Brave's business … be considered stealing …"

"— You're not a Brave either!!!"

Xu Jun instantly felt the distress of being a father. He couldn't wait to have a drink with the mayor of Mengdama City and complain to each other. Children nowadays were becoming more and more disobedient!

They even knew how to talk back!

Really asking for a beating!

Steamed Bun stomped his feet and ran to Jesse's side to seek protection.

Xu Jun sighed. "Children are all grown up. Married buns are like spilled water."

— Who the hell knew how Steamed Bun got married.

No matter how tense it was outside, Mayor Newt's garden was still peaceful.

The maid served tea and coffee, and everyone had a small cake. When she saw Jess sitting at the round table, she couldn't help but blush. When she looked up and saw Xu Jun, the little girl's steps became messy, and she ran all the way back.

Jess smiled faintly, but Xu Jun couldn't sense the girl's thoughts.

He was still thinking about how to teach little Rance a lesson.

It was strange. When he took the three lights, he was cold and heartless and never felt guilty at all. However, he didn't want Rance to become such a jerk. This was probably the legendary attitude of a loving father.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that he was awesome.

And so, the awesome Xu Jun brought the awesome little Rance to the table to eat snacks.

"The flower you just picked is called the Purple Oriole Vine. It belongs to the magic vine family. Like its relative, the Limitless Orchid Vine, it's the most useless of the magic vines.

Remember, you can't just pick flowers casually, and you can't just take the three lights … Most of the vines in the magic vine family are either poisonous or can camouflage themselves. Some of them have even evolved into plant-based magic beasts. They look pretty, but they actually eat people. Do you still remember Death Fig, Man Qi, and Wenqi?

They're also magic vines … "

The awesome old man Xu Jun began to teach his children how to take the three lights without getting hurt.

Steamed Bun and Rance listened attentively, especially Steamed Bun. This child was quite frightened by Xu Jun. Now, when he looked at the Purple Oriole Vine, the way he looked at it changed. It was as if he was looking at a monster.

Irene and Ska came out of the room. They had changed their clothes, especially Ska. This guy finally changed out of his tattered clothes. His long red hair was also tied neatly behind his head. He looked much more refined.

As long as this guy didn't speak and wasn't impatient, he still had the temperament of a noble when he stood there quietly.

It wasn't clear what he said to Irene. Their faces were a little red, and they didn't dare to look at each other's faces.

"You guys have such a good relationship."

Irene looked at Xu Jun educating Rance. Although she didn't hear what they were talking about, she still sighed.

Xu Jun was a little embarrassed and shut his mouth.

He couldn't tell her that he was just talking about how to steal her flowers …

But Irene was obviously just trying to lead him out of the topic. The girl sighed and sat down at the round table.

It was already dusk. The sun was setting in the west, but it was even brighter than the morning sun. The sky was burning red. Ska opened the small umbrella in her hand and helped Irene with it.

It was very silly.

"I must have scared you guys just now." Irene held her forehead with her hand and said tiredly, "My father and Cole … they would quarrel every few days. We're used to it."

"Our mother passed away very early. That was about eleven years ago. At that time, a plague broke out in the city. My mother … didn't make it.

The next year, there was a large-scale rebellion within the Golden Banner. The Empire called for the nobles to go to war. Our Newt family belonged to the Golden Banner hundreds of years ago. We know that the Empire is our backer now. Of course, we have the responsibility to do things for the Empire. "

"Cole's and my brother … Reid Newt. He enlisted in the army and died on the battlefield.

After that, my family changed completely.

Sometimes, I feel like my life is just a dream. "

Eirinn raised her head slightly. Half of her face was hidden in the shadows, and her eyes were lifeless. But she immediately perked up. "I'm sorry. I think I've started to complain. I hope it won't affect everyone's mood..."

Xu Jun changed the topic. "What does the plague from eleven years ago have to do with the Black Plague this time?"

Irene thought for a while. "No, I think it's two diseases, sir.

Eleven years ago … I think it was because the weather was too hot. Plague water ghosts bred in the moat and the water was polluted.

That time, almost a tenth of the city's population died. Some died, while others migrated to other places to live.

The Black Plague may be worse than that. I've discussed it with Miss Anna from the Church. We both feel that it's very ominous. "

Ska added, "Miss Anna is a nun from the Church."

"We all feel that it's similar to the description of the 'apocalypse' in the Book of Light … It's a type of undead that crawls out from the ground.

But Miss Anna also contracted the Black Plague. She hasn't left the house for three or four days. When I went to find her, she didn't want to see me. She said she was afraid of infecting me. "Irene frowned and bit her lower lip. She seemed to be hesitating whether to continue.

In the end, she decided to believe in Xu Jun.

"At night, I sometimes hear strange noises in the garden. It seems to be coming from the warehouse. It doesn't sound like a human's voice or a bird's cry. It's a bit like the roar of a beast, but hoarser and scarier. My father and Cole said I heard wrong. It's actually the sound of the wind."

Finally, it's time for the famous detective, Xu Jun, to officially appear.

Xu Jun glanced around the garden and saw three crows on two big trees. Under one of the trees, there was a small wooden tablet with the words "Hani's Grave" written on it.

"Hani was Reid's hunting dog when he was still alive. Later, Cole and I raised him. He died of old age two years ago," Irene said.

Xu Jun had a very bad guess in his heart.

No, according to his current understanding of the Black Plague, this was not just a guess.

So that night, when sleeping in the guest room, Xu Jun couldn't help but take out the bone bird and tell his thoughts to his old enemy, Your Majesty The Demon King.

The author has something to say: Finally!!!!

After sorting out the plot, I found … Oh!

Sure enough, in the short term, Xixi Demon King and Junjun the Brave can only have a long-distance relationship!

Thinking of this, the single dog, Erji, is very happy!

↑ The above is from the author, Erji, who wrote in the middle of the night and didn't have a clear mind.

Also, a long time ago, there was a friend who drew the character designs of Xixi Demon King and Junjun the Brave. I wanted to show them off a long time ago, but I don't know why I forgot to post them on Weibo. Oh, so angry. If I can remember tomorrow, I'll show them off tomorrow. _ (: 3/∠) _

I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
