Chapter 296: Running Away

"The Ye Family is only the royal family, but there should be a prime minister attending the countries affair's right?" Shen Qui continued asking as Huang Sheng Hong answered. This conversation lasted for a few minutes before Lyca stood and told them she needed to rest now. She was exhausted. No matter how much she analyzed it, Lyca still couldn't comprehend everything. She turned towards her father, asking him her last question before leaving.

"This moon necklace is from Ye Bai?"

Seeing her father nod, Lyca smiled and left the room, leaving Shen Qui and her father alone.

A sigh immediately escaped her when she left the room. It seems that her lazy and casual life is really akin to a dream.

"Are you alright?" Lyca didn't even notice Shen Qui walking next to her.

"Do you want to run away with me?" she asked without looking at him.

"Runaway?"

"Let's find a secluded place and stay there," Lyca suggested. This is better than working too much, fighting too much, and scheming. Ah, the life that she wanted was far from the life she had now.

"You wanted to hide? From what?" he asked.

This question only made her shook her head. Of course, she wanted to hide! How could she endure so much drama? How could she endure so much conspiracy? She is too lazy to deal with this!

If this was the usual drama or novel, the protagonist would surely go to Du Country and inquire about the necklace! About Ye Bai and find out the truth about the poison! Then the protagonist would unknowingly offend some power and fight them! Of course, the protagonist would always end up winning.

But how could Lyca follow the usual path?

Her first thought was actually to run away and hide! She never even considered leaving this ranch right now! In her mind, this wasn't wrong. So what if she hides and just isolates herself from the world? So what if she just disappeared? This was her lifelong goal, alright!

She wanted a lazy and casual life! No conspiracies, no scheming. Just sleeping, eating, and being happy! Lyca was unreconciled! Truly unreconciled!

Lyca lifted her head. Did the gods actually curse her? In her previous life, it was already this complicated. But for some reason, her second life was also complicated. The law of reincarnation shouldn't be like this!

"Hey, what is going on with you?" Shen Qui's words brought her back from her stupor. "Why would you run away?"

Lyca didn't answer him. How could she tell him she was too lazy to deal with this? That would completely shatter her heroic vibe! She gave him a mysterious smile instead. "Just kidding," she held his arm and pulled him towards the kitchen. "I'm hungry. Why don't you make some eggs for me?"

"Boiled eggs?"

She nodded in response, a smile hung on her face. Right now, she was somehow fifty percent certain that some people from her previous world might have come into this world too! And those people might not be easy to deal with. "Let's go have a honeymoon," Lyca suddenly said.

Of course, Shen Qui just beamed. How could he refuse such a request? "Where?"

"Let's visit Ath Province in the north and make a deal with Chu Family. There is a lot of snow in that place. It's January, so it should be freezing there."

"Well then, do you want to go skiing? Do you want to make some snowman? To tell you the truth, I haven't made a snowman before." His voice was gentle. He knew this was a part of Lyca's efforts to change the topic, but he doesn't care. After all, they were talking about the honeymoon! It's honeymoon! HONEYMOON!

Shen Qui was already beaming, his smile almost reaching his ears.

"No," Lyca said. "Too tiring. I wanna lie down and just sleep inside a cabin with snow outside."

Of course, this was something he already expected. Skiing? Snowman? That is not even equal to her favorite hobby; sleeping.

"And hot chocolate?" he asked.

"Of course, hot chocolate. You should totally start researching how to make the perfect one and learn how to cook some soup. On this trip, you have to take care of me!" Lyca declared as she arrived in the kitchen. Going to the Ath Province wasn't really some impulsive decision. In the first place, the Chu Family already invited her to come and have a demo. Second, she was actually planning to go to the Extreme north which is only a few kilometers away from Ath Province.

The herbs needed to make the antidote for the seven treasure poisons only grew in chilly places, borderline unhabitable. And in this continent, the extreme north is the only place that should be suitable for those herbs.

"We… We are not running away, right?" Shen Qui inquired after a few minutes of silence.

"No." At least not now. If some conspiracies suddenly arrive, Lyca was already planning to leave and just live in a place far away from this. "Once everything gets complicated, we should run away."

"And leave the rest of our lives running away?" Shen Qui said. He was already waiting for the eggs to boil." With the current technology, being invincible in this world is very difficult."

This made Lyca paused. She looked down and stared at the counter. He was actually telling the truth. Even if she runs away, her enemy might be able to find her because of technology. She pouted, her mood turned sour. In her previous world, technology doesn't exist. If one wanted to disappear, there are a lot of methods to do it in that world.

But this world is truly different. Satellites can be used to find someone. There was also the power of CCTV and other ways to track someone. Lyca wasn't planning on disappearing before, so she never considered factors like this. "You are right." She said before sighing. "Ah, my dream." She suddenly extended her hands and clutched the air, her face extremely gloomy as if she just lost something very important.
