Leona lowered her body and stared intently at Diana, who was less than three meters away from her. Hot sweat dripped from her forehead, rolled into the sand, and was sucked dry in the blink of an eye.
No matter how many times she tried, she could not defeat the peers in front of her. Even the Lahorak wrestling method taught by her father could not make Diana fall once. As long as she met a kid from the Moon Sect in a martial arts training class,
Princess, there is only one outcome for you, and that is to be thrown into the sand by your opponent in embarrassment.
I don’t know when my pride and self-confidence started to disappear.
The eyes of everyone around her had changed from initial expectations to unabashed admiration for Diana. This change put Leona under tremendous pressure, as if she had become a complete loser.
She didn't understand why she still couldn't surpass Diana after putting in so much effort, especially when she found that her exercised arms and thighs were already thicker than Diana's. In this case, she was still no match.
The setback has caused Leona to have self-doubt.
"Ready... to start!"
The La Horak warrior in charge of martial arts training gave an order, and Leona, who was still in a daze, only felt a pair of iron arms hugging her lower back, and then the world spun around, and she fell upside down and fell heavily into the sand.
"good!
"
"She is worthy of being the strongest Protestant Diana! This time she is still flawless in the throw!"
"Speaking of which, Leona is too weak as a young disciple of the Burning Sun Sect, right? I originally thought she could at least compete with Diana, but now it seems that the gap between the two is too big... Hey, you Burning Sun
Are the people in the sect just so capable?"
Leona lay lying in the sand, the provocation in her ears hitting her heart like a heavy hammer. Before, the members of the Sun Sect were willing to argue for her. After experiencing so many failures, no one was willing to speak for herself.
.
Silently clenching her fists, Leona buried her face in the sand, wishing she could suffocate herself to death. She wanted to use her strength to prove that she had been working hard, but she always failed under the expectations of everyone.
"No one wants to keep failing in the process of hard work, and you are no exception. To be honest, if I beat you, it would be considered a defeat. There is nothing to be proud of, because I should have beaten you. What I have
You never had it, and that's why I can win."
I don’t know when, but Diana’s devil-like whisper came to Leona’s ears.
"If you want to know why I am so strong, come find me during the vacation after this time."
Leona got up from the ground. The victorious Diana had already left among the crowd, but she knew that she might not be able to turn a deaf ear to her opponent's words.
"Winning is winning, losing is losing, I am not someone who cannot afford to lose..."
Still speaking a bit bravely, Leona left silently.
"...It's no waste of effort to go and see. If I can know where I failed, I will definitely stand up again!"
…
As November approaches, Mount Targon has entered the harshest winter. The trial roads on the mountain are covered by heavy snow. Without the one-horned devil in ancient legends to stop climbers, the Rakkor people finally understand the cold winter.
Climbing a mountain is equivalent to committing suicide.
It wasn't until too many widows and widowers appeared in the village that the Rakkor realized that the terrifying one-horned demon had been saving the lives of the Rakkor people. Unfortunately, by the time they realized this, the one-horned demon had disappeared without a trace.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading, install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
For a hundred years, no one has seen the kind-hearted one-horned woman again, just as no one knows when the woman will appear on Mount Targon.
The Sacred Road has been closed, and the residents of Rakkor halfway up the mountain are not having a hard time either.
Any excess activity will cause energy consumption, which will exacerbate the Rakkor's food shortage.
The next four months will be a rare time of rest for the members of the Titan Sect who live halfway up the mountain. For the younger members of the sect, it will be like a winter vacation.
After packing her luggage, Leona greeted her mother early, carried her bags and walked towards the Bright Moon Sect's headquarters.
With the connection of Parame, the priest of the Lunar Sect, Leona's parents will not worry about what danger their daughter will encounter, not to mention that this winter vacation, Diana, the best neophyte of the Lunar Sect, will be undergoing special training together.
, they have already heard of Lester’s name, and the couple is even more assured of their daughter’s safety.
As Leona's invincible rival, Leona's parents are also looking forward to whether their daughter can become good friends with Diana. However, any smart person will understand the truth that those who are close to red will be red and those who are close to ink will be black, so they can make their daughter become good friends with Diana.
My daughter becomes better, why not?
"Diana?"
Leona walked through the snow to the door of the small courtyard. Leona knocked on the half-open door. Taking a peek was also a way to observe the environment, but she didn't bother to do it.
"Here we come! Teacher Mexidis, I'll leave first."
Diana's voice came from the yard, and Leona took two steps back to make room for Diana to open the door.
"I didn't expect you to come so early?"
Diana barely carried any luggage. Leona, who was a little surprised, responded seriously to the black-haired girl's teasing gaze and said in a deep voice.
"If I can't be as humble as an apprentice, I'm not qualified to go down the mountain and share Uncle Lester's wisdom."
Diana smiled noncommittally and closed the door behind her back.
She didn't say she had expected this.
"Sometimes I think about it, your seriousness and earnestness are also strengths."
"Thanks."
The two of them were silent all the way and walked straight down the mountain. Near noon, they left the snow-covered mountainside of Mount Targon and arrived at the foot of the green grassy mountain.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Leona has forgotten how long ago it was when she last went down the mountain.
The continuous snow-capped mountains in the distance are winding like black dragons, cutting off the clear blue sky like the sea. The silver thread connecting the sky is pulling the cows and sheep lying comfortably on the green land in the hands of the Creator. Along with the crowing of horses, the chimneys of the villages
Birds and smoke rise from the sky, the scenery is picturesque, the people are like waves, and the harmony between man and nature depicts the towering and quiet beauty of Mount Targon.
Noticing Leona's somewhat obsessed look, Diana patted the blonde girl on the shoulder in a funny way. Unexpectedly, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes was also unexpectedly sentimental.
"My father and I's home is ten times more beautiful than here. I hope you can show this expression when the time comes."
After Diana exposed her emotions, Leona straightened her face again.
"I didn't go down the mountain this time to enjoy the scenery. If I think Uncle Lester's teachings are of no use to me, I will leave directly. This is our agreement."
Diana shrugged, indifferent.
"Of course, you can leave at any time, including now. I'm not begging you to come."
Instead of answering Diana's question, Leona chose to change the subject.
"Although I still think it's a bit dangerous for us two children to walk alone down the mountain, but now there is no other choice... Why don't you lead the way?"
"Well, my father is here. With him here, you will not be in any danger."
Following Diana's gaze and looking behind her, Leona was stunned. A tall and upright young man who was only fifteen or sixteen years old was walking towards her carrying a medicine basket, waving to her with a soft face.
"Cortana!"
Not inferior to the cold and magnetic voice, the young man has handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, and the facial lines perfectly show the three-dimensional facial features. The most important thing is that the handsome young man's figure is not inferior to that of Lahorak's hard-tempered warrior, fair skin and pull
The unique wheat color of the Kor people is out of place, as if they are elves coming out of mythology.
Subconsciously raising her hand to respond to the boy's greeting, Leona saw that the originally reserved and proud Diana seemed to have changed into a different person and rushed towards the boy. She opened her arms like a baby bird returning to its nest and was embraced by the man and spun around for two seconds.
lock up.
"dad!"
Putting down her raised right hand in a daze, Leona lowered her head in embarrassment.
[How come Diana’s father is so young?]
"You must be Leona, the good friend Xiaona calls her."
Putting down Diana, who was still a little reluctant to leave her arms, Lester knelt down and raised his right hand towards the little blond girl.
"I have the same cute name as Xiaona. My name is Lester, and I am Diana's adoptive father. Thank you for being willing to be Xiaona's good friend. Xiaona is very proud. I was originally worried that she would not be able to make friends with her.
friend."
Being caught off guard by Lester's series of punches, Leona's face turned red, she raised her hand and shook it lightly with Lester, and then Lester let go.
She didn't know that as an opponent, she was actually considered a good friend in Diana's words, but she also knew that now was not the time to refute. She had to use all the etiquette she had learned to respond to the kindness of Diana and her adoptive father Lester.
After holding back for a while, Diana chose to change her words. She really couldn't call the man in front of her uncle without conscience. Judging from his appearance, if the man in front of her was uncle, then her wrinkled brothers should be called uncle.
Grandpa.
"Lester...brother, I really caused trouble for you this time."
With a chuckle, Lester stood up and touched Diana's head.
"Don't be so polite. I should thank you for being able to come to my home and listen to me, a lonely old guy, telling stories about my past.
Xiaona has not had many friends since she was a child, so it would be nice to have a playmate of the same age. Of course, I will also give you and Xiaona special training after playing around. You should also know that I am a doctor, so it will be inevitable when the time comes.
Drink some bitter herbs..."
Hearing Lester talk about herbal medicine, Leona seemed to understand why Diana had such a strong physique, and it was naturally a dream to be strengthened by herbal medicine.
No wonder Diana said she was invincible. It turned out that she was lacking in herbal enhancement.
"Brother Lester, I am not afraid of hardship. As long as I can become stronger, I am willing to give everything!"
The man's eyes suddenly became gentle. Leona, who had just finished taking the oath, blushed and let Lester touch her trembling little head like a quail.
Although the man in front of me treated him like a child, he felt... surprisingly comfortable?
It seems like you want to do it again?
Lester also felt a little emotional that the sunshine girls in the future group were so innocent when they were young, and they didn't look like they had a nuclear bomb on their face.
"You are also a serious and good girl...
I'm really proud and happy that Xiaona can have such an excellent good friend like you. I hope we can get along happily in the days to come. If you have any questions, just tell Xiaona or me."
Nodding dazedly, Leona and Diana followed the man side by side, walking slowly towards the east.
Before it got completely dark, the three of them returned to Bali Village.
Leona silently observed the villagers' attitude towards Lester. Most of the villagers' faces were full of respect or love. Only a few male villagers had complicated expressions and looked at her with watery eyes from time to time.
The beautiful wife looked at Lester again with a soft complexion.
This emotion was too complicated for her to understand, but it could also be seen from other places that Lester was definitely a well-known elder in Barry Village.
Following the mountain stream and passing through the green grassland, passing by four Lahorak warriors who volunteered to guard the medicine field, the strong fragrance of medicine came to my face from the tree stump wooden fence.
Leona saw a vast medicinal field, and her eyes were fixed on the backpack behind the man. The girl was a little surprised.
"Are you taking care of these medicinal fields alone?"
Nodding, Lester looked at the medicinal fields where various medicinal herbs were grown.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes, I also tried to teach some villagers to take care of the medicine fields... In the end, no one could persist, and now only Xiaona can help me
Very busy."
"Amazing……"
Ice springs gurgling from north to south, perhaps because of the medicinal fields. Spots of fireflies dot the grass. Not far from the medicinal fields, a cozy cabin stands quietly under the bright moonlight. I know that is where I will live.
Leona was suddenly full of expectations for her future life.
The house has been expanded by Lester himself and has been raised to three floors. The first floor is the living room, dining room and bathroom. The second floor is two independent rooms. The one on the inside is Diana's room, and the other one by the stairs is Lester's.
s room,
The third floor is an attic used to store things. Because there are some dangerous things, even Diana rarely takes the initiative to go up to the third floor, which is usually locked.
"Xiao Na, take Xiao Leina to the room to tidy up and put on the new bedding I prepared. I'll make dinner."
【Little, little Lena!?】
After thinking about it, Leona accepted the nickname given to her by her elders.
Under Lester's arrangement, Leona followed Diana to the second floor. The handmade solid wood furniture along the way opened Leona's eyes, especially the various exquisite withered flowers and ancient symbols. She simply
Unheard of.
She is not an ordinary family, and the furniture used in her home is considered exquisite, but it is still far from the heavenly creations in front of her.
"Did your dad build these?"
"Of course~ My father is omnipotent. You will understand this sooner or later. Now, please let me show you the place where I have lived since I was a child."
Since Lester's confession, Diana, who has long regarded Leona as a biological sister, has pulled the blond girl into her own little world.
"From today on, you are also the master of this family."
