C201 The Gift of an Li(2)

Marina gently opened my hand as if she had made up her mind. She picked up the peanuts and placed them in the frying pan. I could only watch from the side.

Marina actually placed the frying pan directly into the fire. She did not put oil or salt in it and did not know how to stir-fry it. She stared blankly at the frying pan and was at a loss as to what to do.

"Aiya!" Ekdo screamed. "I smell the paste."

Marina frowned and her expression was very strange. "Marina, let me do it. You can learn from it." I walked to the stove.

Marina was stunned. She suddenly grabbed the frying pan and threw it into the snow. The peanuts were scattered all over the ground. Marina stomped her foot and turned around to enter the wooden house. With a bang, she slammed the door shut.

Ekdo and I looked at each other. Ekdo made a strange expression and said, "I got into trouble!"

We were silent for a while. Ekdo said with a frown, "Demon Dragon, I will go back first. You see, I am giving you trouble. I will come back tomorrow." After saying that, he left bitterly.

I was lost in thought again. I naturally know Marina's distress. She was not angry at Ekdo, but at herself.

I knocked lightly on the door and asked, "Marina, can I come in?" There was no response from the room.

After waiting for a while, I knocked lightly on the door again. "Marina."

The door creaked open and Marina carried the war pike out of the wooden house. She lowered her head and did not look at me. Instead, she walked straight in the direction of Rogge City.

What is this violent beauty trying to do? "Marina, where are you going?" I quickly chased after her.

Marina said, "I will be back in a while!" Her footsteps did not stop as she ran straight into the city.

I frowned. I thought that Marina wouldn't go and find trouble with Ekdo, right? However, Marina was clearly not such a petty person. Then what was she going to do in the city?

I shook my head helplessly and turned around. I saw Cecilia standing quietly in front of the wooden house with a bamboo basket on her back.

"Cecilia," didn't Cecilia go home? Why did she come back?

Cecilia smiled and said, "Your girlfriend came to find you?"

I don't know if I should nod or shake my head.

Cecilia lowered her head and looked at her toes and said, "Only this girl will truly treat you well. She will never lie to you."

"Cecilia, what did you say?" I was a little troubled by Cecilia's words and Cecilia seemed to reject Talitha. She had never met Talitha before, so why did she have to do this? Although Talitha did not fulfill her promise, I do not think that Talitha lied to me.

"She is the person you should treasure the most. In this world, she is the only one who will not lie to you." Cecilia continued.

"Cecilia, don't say anymore. Don't tell me you will lie to me?" I interrupted Cecilia's words. Why did Cecilia keep hinting at Talitha to lie to me?

Cecilia was silent for a while. She raised her head and her eyes sparkled. "I, I, might also lie to you, but I will not harm you."

Cecilia's words made me angry. It meant that Talitha lied to me and harmed me. I cannot tolerate others slandering Talitha. Without Talitha, perhaps Mortal Realm would have fallen long ago. Just based on this point, even if the living did not worship her, they should still have some gratitude in their hearts! Talitha gave me an indestructible body, and it was also for the sake of a good cause. How can she be considered to have harmed me?

Cecilia shook her head and said, "Alright, I will not talk about this topic anymore. But I am very envious of Marina. She is really a cute girl."

My anger instantly calmed down by more than half. Is Cecilia trying to matchmake me and Marina? She thinks that Marina can cure my pain. Ethically speaking, Talitha and I can no longer be reunited. Even if I accept Marina, I don't need to blame myself. But now, I feel that the biggest obstacle in my heart is not Talitha's memories, but my undying body. After I accept Marina, after a hundred years, won't I fall into a painful cycle of reincarnation? Marina will age, but I won't. Perhaps a monster like me is not worthy of enjoying a wonderful love.

Thank you, Cecilia! Thank you for your good intentions. I muttered in my heart.

Cecilia looked at me and wanted to say something but stopped herself. Finally, she did not speak anymore. Her hands separated and placed the bamboo basket down.

Cecilia took out a pair of claws of a fierce bird from the bamboo basket. It was a small piece of black ore. A large piece of dark gold metal material. Cecilia had shown us the claws and the black ore before. It turns out that she had not sold it.

Cecilia said in a low voice, "These materials are for you. You still have a few friends who are looking around for your whereabouts. They will probably come to Rogge very soon. You can forge them some suitable equipment."

I was stunned. What does Cecilia mean? How did she know that someone was looking for me?

Cecilia continued, "You still have three stalks of 'Flame Dragon's Heart' on you. That spiritual object is not only able to cure hundreds of poisons. The most valuable thing is that it can help martial artists increase their abilities. You see, Marina is already level 60. She once drank dragon blood. With the help of the Flame Dragon's Heart, the effects were very shocking. You can use it well. Of course, it won't be of much help to the mage profession. "

Cecilia's words completely shocked me. How did Cecilia know that I still have three more Flame Dragon's Hearts? How did Cecilia know Marina's level? How did Cecilia know that Marina had once consumed 'Flame Dragon's Heart'? I have never told her about the 'Flame Dragon's Heart'.
