Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

Chapter 128: Zong Fang's Concern

After nightfall, in a quiet and beautiful resort mountain area, everything is shrouded in a mysterious darkness. The surrounding area is densely planted with cherry blossom trees, like a pink ocean.

The breeze blew gently, and from time to time some delicate petals fell quietly, dancing lightly in the air like snowflakes, adding a bit of elegance and romance to the whole scene.

At this moment, everyone chose two cherry trees as the location for the team-building activity. When the breeze blew again, the petals from the trees fluttered down, like a dreamy flower rain, gently landing on people's shoulders and hair.

Zhao Ming stood there, his eyes gently scanning Maya beside him and the members of the Victory Team who had changed into their daily clothes. A deep sense of relief surged in his heart.

Looking back on the countless fierce battles and numerous difficulties and obstacles we have experienced together, every moment is still vivid in my mind.

However, at this moment, everyone temporarily put aside their physical and mental fatigue and stress, and immersed themselves in this rare relaxing atmosphere.

"Okay... let's get started!" Jujing shouted with a happy smile on his face.

It turned out that in order to express his gratitude to Zhao Ming and Maya for treating him to hot pot and grilled monster meat in the wild last time, he took the initiative to volunteer this time to show off his superb barbecue skills.

I saw steam rising from the grill, emitting waves of mouth-watering and tempting aroma.

Everyone sat happily around the mat, and laughter echoed throughout the night sky.

Maya, full of curiosity, carefully tasted the various ingredients on the grill.

With every bite, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration for these delicious dishes baked in the well.

Lina and Iruma Hui elegantly picked up their wine glasses, took a sip, and then began to taste the delicious skewers grilled by Dijing.

Lina couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, I didn't expect that you, Horii, have such superb cooking skills! The taste is simply amazing! No wonder Chizuru chose to be with you."

Hearing the compliment, Jujing showed a smug smile on his face and responded without hesitation: "Of course not! I am a hidden chef!" Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and happy.

At this time, Ye Rui was holding a box full of cooked food and was enthusiastically distributing food to everyone.

However, Jujing suddenly reached out and pushed away Ye Rui's hand that was blocking the wine bottle.

Seeing this, Ye Rui reacted very quickly and hit the hand that was reaching for the bottle. The two of them kept on playing back and forth, teasing each other and making everyone around them laugh.

Zhao Ming watched the scene with a smile, a surge of emotion in his heart. Normally, these guys were all brave, fearless, and unwavering warriors in their fierce battles with terrifying monsters.

But at this moment, they are like a group of close friends, enjoying this rare warmth and joy, showing the warmest and cheerfulest side of human nature.

"Haha, this is really a great resort for flower viewing!" Zhao Ming took a sip of the cool drink in his hand and sighed sincerely.

Knowing that alcohol and sex are harmful to the body, he resolutely refused to drink, even if it was just a small glass. Maya, who was beside him, gently placed the freshly baked food on the plate in front of him.

Afterwards, the two of them snuggled up to each other, admiring the beautiful rain of flowers dancing in the sky, and leisurely savoring the delicious food, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Dagu and Lina snuggled together tightly, like two sweet candies, enjoying each other's feeding with great joy.

The atmosphere among the crowd was as cheerful as a group of dancing butterflies, and so relaxed that they seemed to float up to the clouds. Xincheng held a glass of wine and looked mistily at a few cherry trees not far away.

There, too, was a mat spread, as if nature had specially prepared a stage for this beautiful scene. There was even a carefully arranged screen behind it, like a mysterious barrier.

Two women in kimonos, one old and one young, were kneeling on a red mat, holding red umbrellas. The older one was boiling tea in a purple clay pot. The tea seemed like a pot of mysterious magic potion, emitting an alluring aroma.

"Look, it's really beautiful!" Xincheng's eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet, pointing straight at the girl in kimono in front of him and said.

Zong Fang sighed helplessly and said, "Alas...whenever you see a beautiful woman, it's like your soul has been seduced away!"

"Should I go over and say hello?" Xincheng felt like a deer was running around in his heart. He looked over there with some hesitation and took a sip of wine, as if to give himself courage.

"Don't be silly. I'm afraid that you will be the one who gets hurt. Beautiful flowers all have thorns, just like our captain. Although she is a beauty, she is also a rose with thorns!" Zongfang was full of emotion at this time and said secretly.

"Thank you for your advice!" Xincheng finally gave up the idea and took another sip of wine. Then he remembered what Zongfang had just said. He looked at the captain not far behind him and couldn't help but think: "Could it be that the commander is interested in the captain?"

"What are you talking about?" Iruma Kei suddenly called out, interrupting Souma and Shinjo who were lost in thought. They both straightened up straight and sat down quickly, shaking their heads in unison as if nothing had happened, saying, "Nothing!"

Zhao Ming, Maya and Da Gu, who had excellent hearing, heard Zong Fang's bold and ferocious words. After exchanging glances, they all laughed.

No wonder this guy Zongfang is so serious on weekdays. Everyone thought he was doing it to maintain his dignity as a commander. I never thought he would have such a bold idea.

"Haha... I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it!" Maya leaned on Zhao Ming's shoulder and said with a smile. Zong Fang's guilty look just now was really funny.

Zong Fang glared at Maya and Dagu Zhaoming, his ears flushed. He knew that these three magic practitioners had advanced hearing. He seemed to be saying, "What are you laughing at?"

At this time, Horii handed a skewer of freshly grilled special meat to Munakata, trying to ease the awkwardness, "Commander, try this, my new recipe."

Zongfang took the skewer, took a bite, and his attention was immediately attracted by the delicious taste.

The scene suddenly shifts to reveal Ye Rui, holding a camera, intently recording the beautiful and heartwarming scene before him. Xin Cheng and Ju Jing, like children, playfully annoy the camera, their exaggerated expressions and antics making everyone laugh.

Looking over at the other side, Dagu and Lina held hands, sweetly displaying their affection. The night lights, along with the rain of flowers, sprinkled on them, reflecting their happy smiles, as if the whole world only had them.

At the same time, Zhao Ming and Maya were snuggling up to each other, leaning on each other's shoulders, whispering, and laughing like silver bells from time to time.

However, in stark contrast to this joyful atmosphere, Zongfang and Xincheng sat in a corner, drinking silently. Yes, after a period of trial and error, Zongfang finally learned how to drink.

Recalling the last successful operation to eliminate the vampire Dilanos, Munakata's friend Onoda turned out to be a blessing in disguise - his girlfriend Xuena, who had been missing for many years and had turned into a vampire, returned to normal and came back to his side.

That night, Munakata felt a mixture of emotions as he watched the two of them so affectionate. He gushed over shot after shot until he was completely drunk. It was Onoda who carried him, unconscious, to the entrance of the base's tunnel.

Today, among the people he knows, Jujing, Dagu, and Zhao Ming have all found their other halves and are living happy lives. Only Xincheng, the "hard-core bachelor," remains steadfastly by his side.

Although Munakata has always secretly admired Captain Iruma Kei in his heart, he never knows how to express this feeling.

"Oh..." Zongfang sighed heavily and gulped down a big mouthful of wine like a cow, while Xincheng held the bottle and drank it like a child.
