Chapter 25: Shall We Start?
The next day,
A boy and a girl were surrounded by a thick patch of grass bordered by fragrant hedges and shrubs. A few heavy trees stood near the left edge. ; their trunk and crown rose like a pinnacle of the garden.
The flowers and plants looked neat and tidy as if they're fighting an eternal competition for the best spots. The hedges and shrubs reached 1.5m/5ft high, but this is something that only seems to happen outside of the wild.
A path of stepping stones curved around each bend in the garden, directing visitors around in a natural way. The grass looked like they wanted to reclaim even all pieces of land, eager to expand their dominion.
The trees have stood there for a dozen years and brought life and offered homes to life in so many ways. It's no wonder they are the pride and joy of the creator of this garden.
The flowers and plants definitely tried to claim their share of the glory, and the hedges and shrubs definitely deserved to be paid attention to as well, but the focus was just simply on the pale red-brown trees.
This place was none other than Lily's own inner courtyard.
And in the middle of the courtyard, there was a hundred-meter wide square area with silver jade tiles, which looked aesthetically pleasing as it reflected the sunlight.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful. The herbs and the flowers give off a fresh and crisp smell. It's like the air is so clean here. It must be because of the presence of those rare sky grade herbs."
Damien's voice was filled with awe and astonishment. He looked around the courtyard and even spotted some medicinal herbs that were quite expensive and hard to find.
Lily showed a sweet smile as she said, "I am glad you like my courtyard. I have always taken good care of this place sinceâ¦" Lily's expression suddenly looked as if she was reminiscing some memories.
"Since?" Damien asked when he saw Lily suddenly getting lost in thought.
Lily's brows raised as she realized she got absorbed in her own thoughts, "Ah...it's nothing. Actually, this is the place where I usually seclude myself for cultivation. But I also spend my leisure time here by either reading some books or just immerse myself in my own thoughts while staring at the beautiful night sky."
Damien thought that her eyes expressed sadness for a moment but didn't ask since it wasn't his business.
So he didn't seem to mind her changing the topic and nodded, "Yes, I am sure this place can help one relax a lot. Even I am tempted to spend all my nights here, hahaha."
"Heheâ¦" Lily sweetly giggled as she said, "Well, even though you won't be able to spend your nights here, at least you can enjoy this place any time else. Also, considering your interest in alchemy, studying and researching these herbs in this place would surely help you learn with a clear and refreshed mind."
"Well, this only makes the job of looking after your garden more relaxing.
