Chapter 250
Ten years can bring about too many changes.
After all, they have only been together for a few months, and it is hard to say whether they have a confirmed relationship. How can he not be nervous at this time?
Ya Yin secretly raised her head and glanced at Liu Ji's expression. For some reason, she smiled.
Ya Yin is not a person who likes to smile.
Liu Ji has seen her smile a lot on weekdays, but most of them are polite smiles made to comfort others or to exchange pleasantries.
Of course, she has also seen natural expressions after joy, but they are very rare.
However, this time her smile is something Liu Ji has never seen before.
It is a smile that seems to be relieved, but with a little pride, some playfulness, and some little thoughts.
"Well, these ten years, ha, it's still a little hard to explain," Ya Yin murmured, "Well, let's do this, you eat first, and after dinner, I'll take you to a place, and you should understand by then."
"Ah? Oh, that's good," Liu Ji touched the tip of his nose, and then lowered his head to continue eating.
However, for him now, it seems that eating has become an automated mechanical operation, and the taste in his mouth and what he ate are not in his mind at all.
In his current consciousness, it seems that there are only random thoughts and endless uneasiness.
He couldn't help but imagine what kind of scene he would see in a while, especially those scenes he didn't want to see.
Even if he knew that it was completely groundless fantasy, he just couldn't control his thoughts from drifting in those directions.
In this uneasiness that even Liu Ji himself felt was inexplicable and extremely hypocritical, they finished the meal.
"Then, let's go," Ya Yin stood up after leaving the meal fee on the table.
"Ah, um," Liu Ji scratched his head and stood up.
Ya Yin smiled slightly, turned around and walked out the door.
Liu Ji saw this and hurriedly followed.
"You two have fun today!" The clerk greeted the two and took a rag and a plate to clean up the table for the two.
Just as he stacked the two finished plates together, he suddenly noticed that a flying pig bread was placed alone on the decorative stand next to him.
He picked up the skewer under the bread, raised it up and leaned out of the window, shouting in the direction where the two left: "Hey! You... eh?"
He blinked, and on the busy street, he could clearly no longer see the two people.

Accompanied by a rotation of light and shadow, Liu Ji blinked and stared blankly at the flower field in front of him.
It was a colorful mountain.
"This, this is..." Liu Ji looked around in a daze. He clearly remembered that they were walking on the street just now, but the scene in front of him became like this.
"This is my garden," Ya Yin said softly, "Well, no, it should be said that it is a garden planted by Guo Guo, Carly and I together."
"Garden? Huh?" Liu Ji was a little stunned. He raised his head and felt his own authority in this world. He located the position of the two people. It turned out to be a garden in front of a house on a street somewhere.
"Space magic," Ya Yin said softly.
"Ah, I see," Liu Ji nodded, "So... you mean, you have been planting flowers for ten years?"
"Haha, how is that possible? That's too boring," Ya Yin shook her head slightly, "This is just our experimental field. Here, as long as you sow seeds, the flowers will naturally grow and bloom. In the past ten years, we have come here every morning to sow some seeds. Unknowingly, there is such a large flower field."
Liu Ji stared blankly at the colorful ocean in front of him, unable to speak for a long time.
Ten years...
For him who has only experienced the changes of one month, this number is really hard to feel.
But looking at this flower field, at this moment, he seems to have really felt the weight of this time.
"But..."
Ya Yin continued.
"From today on, there is no need to sow new seeds here."
"Why?" Liu Ji asked blankly, "Because there is no more to plant?"
"Haha," Yayin laughed, "You really are... How is it possible, there is no more to plant, hahahaha..."
"Then, that is..." Liu Ji felt that his head was still numb, and he just looked at Yayin blankly.
The latter also turned his head and looked at him, then slowly stretched out her hands to him.
Liu Ji just looked into her eyes, watching those eyes get closer and closer to him.
Then, he suddenly felt his feet soften inexplicably, and fell gently, falling into the colorful flowers.
Yayin hugged him and rubbed his cheek gently with her head.
Then, Liu Ji heard the answer that he had clearly thought of and wanted to hear the most, but never dared to say it out loud.
"Because, you are back..."
The breeze blew through the flower fields, the fragrance of the flowers mixed with the smell of morning dew and soil, the colorful flowers followed the wind, and slowly moved like waves in the sun, like a peaceful, long and warm song.
268. Two-in-one Don't worry about anything else, just have fun
In the hunting grounds, the young arcanist apprentices raised their staffs and cast spells that stirred up the wind.
A dozen flying pigs mixed with hundreds of transparent giant bubbles rotated in the sky above the grassland with the strong wind.
"This arrow is it!" The young hunter shouted confidently and shot the arrow in his hand.
The wooden arrow cut through the sky and accurately hit a flying pig... the bubble in front.
The bubble burst, and a wisp of magic flowed out of the bubble and wrapped around the young hunter.
It was an extremely weak binding spell, but the hunter did not resist, but showed a disappointed expression, put down the bow and arrow, and sighed softly.
"It's a pity, Bieber, if the arrow just now had missed a few meters, it would have hit! Hahaha!" A young female hunter laughed and rushed past the young hunter.
The young hunter put on an angry look and waved his fist at the other party.
The latter stuck out his tongue, stepped forward, jumped high, turned around and shot an arrow into the sky, pointing directly at one of the flying pigs through the gap in the bubble, causing the villagers who were watching the excitement outside to cheer.
However, by chance, behind the bubbles on the surface, a slightly smaller bubble flew over from the gap of the big bubble, just blocking the arrow.
With a pop, the bubble burst, and a bond fell from the sky and wrapped around the young female hunter.
At the same time, an arrogant shout came from the stone platform in the field.
"Haha! I won't let you succeed so easily!" The young arcane apprentice laughed loudly, and the hand waving the staff was quite arrogant.
"Tsk, this annoying guy..." The young female hunter frowned unhappily, and the young hunter laughed unconsciously, and then was immediately glared at.
Looking at the noisy young people, Guoguo's face unconsciously raised a smile.
Before she met Daedel, she had also participated in the ranger training in the world over there, which was the training of the remaining tribes of the civet cats.
Hunting and archery are naturally one of them, but more of it is running away and hiding.
The rangers there were born to escape from the beginning. Before meeting Daedel, Guoguo had always seen the rangers as a group of people who were fleeing in a hurry.
Of course, she didn't think there was anything wrong with that, because that was indeed what the rangers in that world needed most.
But that kind of training environment, that kind of subtle, permeated in the air, hidden behind all actions, was enough to take away all the fighting spirit, smiles, dreams, and all the most brilliant memories that should belong to the teenagers.
What was left was only the plain struggle and the uneasiness of stepping into a desperate future.
In the past, she would not have dared to think about such a lively hunting activity.
"Hey! Mom Guo! Why are you letting the water go again this year!" The young hunters shouted and ran past Guoguo.
They were all children who had survived the upper city of Kaga Holy City, and now each of them has become an adult who has become the backbone of the village.
She just didn't change her old habits, and still called her "Guo Ma Guo Ma". Now all the children and young people in the city call her "Guo Ma". Guo Guo was so upset that she wanted to cry.
Of course, after a long time, she got used to it.
"Two hours! Let you run for a hundred minutes first!" Guo Guo responded loudly, "Don't let me shoot down a single one!"
"Haha! Don't worry! You may not have any prey when you want to shoot!" The young hunter shouted, but heard a boo from the high platform in the middle.
"Stop bragging, Jack!" the young arcane apprentice shouted, "Be careful or you won't be able to hit anyone in a while!"
The young hunter was also blunt and said, "Ha! It's hilarious, Mark. Try your best to blow your bubbles! See if that thing can stop me!"
The contestants were noisy, and the atmosphere on the scene became more and more enthusiastic. Arrows shot into the sky, startling the flying pigs in the air, but in the end only the bubbles made a crisp bursting sound, and no pig was hit by the arrows.
"Haha, these guys are still naive, but it's true, after all, it's the first half," Guoguo looked at the frustrated expressions of the bound hunters with interest.
Facing these arcane masters who can create a lot of obstacles to hunting with bubbles by shaking their fingers, hunters acting alone are at a disadvantage. Shooting prey at high altitudes is much more difficult than shooting horizontally. The large number of bubbles almost blocks 90% of the shooting angle, and even the remaining 10% is constantly changing with the flow of balloons. For hunters, they often run for half a day to get a fleeting opportunity to shoot flying pigs.
But all this is based on the hunters' choice of "acting alone".
If the hunters choose to act collectively, their arrows will easily pierce the bubbles blocking the flying pigs in front and directly take the flying pigs behind them.
They all know this very well.
They have already discovered this way of playing when they held such an event for the second time. In fact, in the past few years, the hunters have basically won a great victory, but that is a team victory after all.
Everyone is a young man with high spirits. Who wouldn't want to make a big splash alone?
So I don't know how it started, but the hunters almost reached a certain consensus by convention, that is, in the first half, each one relies on their own ability, and whoever can shoot a pig can be awesome for the whole year. In the second half, they will unite to get back their territory.
As for Guoguo.
She always made her move last.
These bubbles can stop the arrows of these young people, but they can't stop her arrows. If she made her move too early, it would become her personal show. Besides, no one wants to see the same person win the championship every year. After all, this is a festival, not a competition.
So during this period, she basically stood in the middle of the field as a VIP audience.
Looking towards the audience, Guoguo saw the figures of Ao Sa and Ji Lunini at a glance.
The former has grown bigger over the years, but the whole person still gives people the same feeling as before, furry, and looks warm and reassuring.
The latter is sitting on the former's shoulder, waving at Guoguo.
Ji Lunini is one of the people who has changed a lot in recent years. The long-term peaceful life has made her almost never use the power of magic blood again, which is what everyone has always hoped for.
The Miffy tribe itself is not a race that is good at physical combat, and Ji Lunini's own talent is not outstanding. Although relying on the secret teachings of the Demon Blood Knight can forcibly improve his strength, it is tantamount to krypton life.
It is not unreasonable that the inheritance of the Demon Blood Knight will die. This kind of power gained by self-destruction is not a long-term solution after all. If possible, they also hope that Ji Lunini will never use that power again.
Although, this is quite cruel to Ji Lunini. After all, as a warrior, watching the gap between himself and his former comrades getting bigger and bigger, no matter how hard he tries, he can't catch up. That kind of deep sense of powerlessness will not be good for anyone.
But this is also the norm in this world.
Not everyone is a genius, and not everyone is a natural warrior. No matter how hard ordinary people struggle, even if they have different time differences, even if they reach the peak they can reach in this life in this world, when facing an enemy like the King of Cavalry, it will only be a dead end.
Ji Lunini finally accepted all of this. After years of struggle, she gradually gave up trying to keep up with Osa and Mowente and began to move forward at her own pace. She no longer spent all her time on martial arts training and began to study things that girls of her age would study.
Sewing, cooking, and even trying to learn some arcane arts...
Guoguo thought this was pretty good.
In fact, she could understand this feeling.
In the past ten years, she had basically put all her energy into arcane research, but the only one who could really use their research results was Yain.
Guoguo couldn't keep up with others in martial arts, just as she and Kalidora couldn't keep up with Yain.
They could certainly understand the new arcane arts they created, and could even teach others how to use them.
But whether they could use them was another matter.
As for the ranger's skills, she had made no progress in the past ten years, and even her physical strength and combat sense had declined significantly.
But it didn't matter.
Just like what Yayin always told them, it is never important for anyone to do something, but for everyone to have a hopeful future.
If there is a hopeful and peaceful world, who would be willing to pick up a longbow and a magic wand and shoot arrows and magic bullets at another person's chest?
They have already contributed their own puzzles to the future. Next, let's leave the things that cannot be done to those who can do it.
For example...
At the edge of Guoguo's sight, she noticed a touch of green.
The man who walked beside Yayin, holding her hand, attracted countless eyes and had a slightly silly smile on his face.
