Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 167 Medieval Stone Lions

After the familiar dizzy feeling ended, the pure white world of ice and snow disappeared.

The sound of running water in the pool behind them seemed like the city was welcoming them back.

The street lights happened to light up at this time. Because it was not dark yet, the sky did not look very bright, but when everyone saw such a warm orange-yellow light, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling relaxed as if they were home.

"That's great - I'm much warmer all of a sudden!" Lulu happily spun around the pool, making everyone smile.

"Catherine." Daniel walked over to the princess who was standing by the pool admiring the view, and forced a smile. He felt that he had not performed well, so he tried to find some excuses to make up for himself and restore his image in the princess' heart. "I—"

"Thank you for your hard work, Daniel." Catherine's distraction was interrupted, and she smiled gently when she saw Daniel's embarrassed expression.

"In order to protect me, you didn't make it to Highgarden's Festival of Lights. I feel very guilty." Catherine said apologetically. "If you plan to return to Highgarden during the rest of your vacation, I will send an invitation to Russell's Mansion on Tsernand Street in a few days. Maybe my father will be happy to talk to you at the banquet."

"...Of course! It's my honor." Not only did Daniel not receive any blame from Catherine, but he was also gently invited to a party. At this moment, his mind was drifting and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Lady Catherine is so gentle and kind...

"Thank you for your hard work. Please go back and rest early. The ladies and I still have something to talk about." Catherine said goodbye to him gently.

"Okay, see you at High Court, Lady Catherine." Daniel bowed like a gentleman and left with his hands and feet together. Tomorrow... No! He would return to High Court tonight to prepare for the banquet and make sure to leave a good impression on the Duke.

Catherine watched him walk away, then turned around, only to see that by the pool, all kinds of things had piled up like a small mountain around Lilith, and were still pouring out, and everyone was rummaging through their own luggage.

The busiest one among them was Lucas. He hummed a little tune while sorting and tying up his belongings. As his fingers flew, beautiful knots appeared on the bundles of herbs.

He looked at the results in front of him, his mouth widened. Very good, very good. Not only did he find some herbs that could be sold at a high price, but they would return to school early. He should be able to sell these things at a good price before the seniors came back!

"What should we do with these two things?" Lilith looked speechlessly at the man-high horse hitching stone and the ugly stone statue with a ferocious face next to it.

"Uh..." Lucas hesitated. He was indeed greedy. These things were extremely heavy. Even if he carried them to sell, they might not be as valuable as the light herbs in his hands. So he was struggling whether he should put ropes on them as well.

Catherine, however, tilted her head and looked at the stone statue released by Lilith under the dim light. She had not had time to pay attention to it during the battle before, but now she looked at it carefully and found that it looked familiar.

"I've seen this thing." Catherine suddenly spoke amidst the busyness of everyone.

Lucas' eyes lit up immediately. Regardless of his usual unfamiliarity with Catherine, he asked repeatedly, "Where is it? High Garden? Is it an antique? Is it valuable?"

"In..." Catherine hesitated for a moment, but still broke Lucas' dream of getting rich. "In my aunt's house, it was a roof decoration discarded by the workers. They smashed it and dragged it out of the city and threw it away..."

The last time she went to see Aunt Tservini, the stone statue that was pushed off the roof of the palace and shattered into pieces seemed to be this thing. Catherine remembered its green face and fangs.

The light in Lucas' eyes dimmed instantly. What? It turned out to be a worthless stone statue. It seemed that he really needed to listen to the opinions of these nobles when it came to appreciating old objects.

"Hey, Lilith!" Lucas suddenly perked up, smiled at Lilith, and revealed his white fangs.

Lilith had a bad feeling when she saw him like this.

"Didn't I say I'd share the profits with you after I came back? This, this is for you!" Lucas patted the horse tie stone, then patted the ugly stone statue, and smiled generously.

"...Thank you." Lilith, who had no expectations of his promises, was now amused by Lucas's "generosity".

"Hey, didn't they say that this stone statue helped you a lot in the battle? This is not only a share of the profits, but also a testimony of our friendship in fighting together!" Lucas still didn't give up and tried to ask Lilith to help him get rid of these two things.

"How come I didn't know that we fought together? Tsk tsk, but you, the guardian partner rescued by a magician, you might be the first in the whole school." Lilith rolled her eyes. If it weren't for this guy, they would have returned to the warm fireplace in the Rose Building in the afternoon!

Lucas wanted to talk more, but Lilith waved her hand to stop him, "If it's any later, Teacher Antonio will go out for a drink, and then no one will take your things."

Lucas then hurriedly tied the bundles of herbs to his body and ran away. Lilith sighed and put the two ugly things back into the ring so as not to leave them on the street to affect the cityscape.

Everyone took their luggage and said goodbye to each other one by one on the street because they had their own plans. In the end, only Lilith and Catherine were left here.

Catherine glanced at Lilith, and Lilith came over tacitly and walked slowly with her.

"There's still some time before school starts. What are your plans next, Princess?" There were not many people on the street. Lilith stretched hard and chatted with Catherine.

"I'm going back to High Court now to see how the seeds for this year are prepared. If nothing goes wrong, the first batch will be delivered in a few days. I'll trouble you then." Catherine got back to work and began to discuss the timing details of the breeding work with Lilith.

Lilith looked at Catherine who was talking nonstop and suddenly put her hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, Catherine, have you ever heard a word?"

"What?" Catherine was suddenly interrupted and blinked her gray eyes in confusion.

"Don't worry about anything beyond two hours and eight kilometers." Lilith said seriously.

"How can that be possible?" Catherine retorted subconsciously.

"Maybe you should try to relax a little and not be so tired." Lily hooked her arm around Catherine's straight neck without any image, and walked the two of them forward crookedly on the road.

"Laugh when you are happy, cry when you are sad, and vent when you are angry." Lilith could sense that Catherine was still worried after returning from the fire station.

"I am the Crown Prince..."

"Then you shouldn't have issued a manifesto against you." Finally, after sending Catherine to the city gate, Lilith patted her on the back, waved her hand, and watched her leave. "Bring me some fireworks!"

Catherine nodded woodenly, waved like Lilith did, and left.

Lilith jogged all the way home. She couldn't help but smile at the thought of having Bella's dinner. But when she arrived at the door of her house, she was stunned. It was pitch black inside.

Not only that, the alleys were filled with all kinds of building materials, and almost all the houses had "Sold" signs in front of them.

"It looks like there will be a lot of new neighbors next year..." Lilith sighed as she stood on the stairs and looked around.

Then she thought about it and placed the horse tie stone and the stone statue on the left and right under the stairs of her front door.

"Well... although it's not very symmetrical... and a little ugly..."

But there is also a medieval stone lion at the door. This is what a female entrepreneur's house should have! Lilith looked at the ferocious stone statue with a green face and fangs and nodded, very satisfied.

"Take good care of the house for me. Maybe I can ask Catherine to find a partner for you in the future." Lilith stood on the steps, stood on tiptoe and patted the statue's head.

The sun finally set completely. Lilith turned on the lighting spell and went towards the winery without even entering the house. The alley was full of debris. She jumped around like a deer, and the light swayed with her. After a while, it finally disappeared with her at the entrance of the alley.

The alley returned to darkness and silence.

After an unknown amount of time, the ferocious stone statue at the door suddenly turned its head in the darkness and faced the entrance of the alley.
