I am the former civilized hero.

Outside the commercial street, Ying had a plastic bag hanging from her elbow, holding Grayshuin with her left hand, and holding the running Ling with her right hand. If it weren't for the fox ears and the long sword at her waist, she would look more like a young mother.

"Hey, Brother Ryan?" Grace, who had just entered elementary school, still spoke in a baby voice.

"Where is it, where is it?" Ling looked around immediately, and was patted on the shoulder. She looked in the direction of her sister's hand and saw the man on the bridge waving gently.

"It's really him!"

Ling was very energetic. She immediately left Sakura behind and ran to the bridge. Then she pounced, hugged Ryan's neck and spun around several times.

"Great, Brother Ryan, you're finally back."

"How is it? Are you used to staying here?" Ryan rubbed the girl's pink hair. Ling was always happy and full of energy.

"It's a habit, but it's not as good as I imagined. For example, I still have to go to school and do homework. Sister Ai Li always likes to tease me, and Brother Jie looks a little scary." The girl counted on her fingers one by one, but finally raised her head with a smile on her face.

"But it doesn't matter. I'm happy to be with my sister and everyone. And my sister said she will never move again, right?"

"At least not in the short term. By the way, where's Padmao?" Ryan looked around but didn't see any sign of Maomao, because Padmao Phyllis didn't know how old she was at all, so she was simply thrown into the bell class and went to junior high school.

"Hehe, Padu fell asleep in class and was left behind. If she doesn't hurry up, she'll probably miss dinner." Ling covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, then hugged Ryan from behind, "I got third place in this exam, is there a reward?"

Before Ryan could think of how to reward him, he was hit hard in the stomach again. Grayshue headbutted him and hugged his waist, sandwiching Ryan in the middle.

"Greshue's paintings are on display, so they deserve a reward!"

"You two should control yourselves, there are so many people watching us." Ying walked over quietly and gave a kind smile to the passers-by.

"It doesn't matter. Isn't this the kind of life we're pursuing?" Ryan put Grace on his neck and let the girl hug his head. Then he casually took the bag from Sakura's hand and held Ling with his other hand.

He walked several steps before turning around and seeing Ying standing in the middle of the overpass. She seemed to be covered with a layer of golden gauze and her expression was a little dull.

The blood-soaked man who had just killed the Herrscher smiled slightly.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go home."

Chapter 324: Golden Courtyard!

Ying felt a little bit unbelievable. After all, not everyone had a big heart like Ryan. A few days ago, she went to support with the determination to die, and yesterday she was sitting in front of Ryan's bed in a daze.

Fight, destroy, die.

These negative things intertwined with the scene before my eyes, becoming so illusory and unreal, especially after returning to the courtyard, this feeling became even stronger.

Under the leadership of Alicia, the whole villa is full of people. When the door is opened, Alicia is seen chasing Destobia with a newly made skirt in her hand.

"Hey, you're back so soon. Where's Vivi? And you're so good at making excuses. How can you be a Ruler?"

"She has a job. What's up with the sign on the door?" Ryan put the bag on the table and automatically ignored the second topic. When he came back just now, he found that the wooden doorplate was gone.

"I asked Eden. She is the owner of the house. She felt that the name 'Chunying Villa' was a bit monotonous." Alicia took it and threw it towards the kitchen. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the door curtain. It was Qianjie's hand.

Ryan was changing his shoes in the entrance hall and asked curiously, "Change to what?"

"Uh, Golden Court, I think it's great, what about you?"

The Golden Courtyard is okay. As expected, after going around in a big circle, you will end up back at the starting point.

"Let's call it the Golden Courtyard. It seems more in line with the temperament of Eden. Ling, Grayshu, go finish your homework before dinner."

"Actually I want to watch cartoons..."

"Ring!" Ying emphasized the tone, which immediately made the girl pout and go upstairs listlessly.

She has the temperament of a strict mother. It would be good to have someone to play the good cop role, so that she wouldn't be surrounded by only big salted fish and small salted fish.

However, when he saw that it was Himiko who went upstairs with him, he became a little confused.

"Himiko is a PhD graduate in science and engineering. You can't underestimate her." Alicia shook her finger.

I thought she was a drunkard, but unexpectedly she was an excellent student. However, Himiko hasn't been so fond of drinking recently, and has even started to help her children with their homework.

"What kind of drug did you give her?"

"Look at what you said. In this family, isn't everyone contributing their own efforts?" Alysia blinked and suddenly moved closer. "Look, it's Qianjie's turn to cook today. He cursed and didn't go there very honestly."

That’s right, and I am the parent!

Ryan put his hands on his hips, of course he couldn't say this out loud, and walked into the living room, where everyone was indeed having a good time.

Abonya was knitting a sweater on a chair like an old lady, occasionally chatting with Eden next to her. Hua came out of the kitchen with freshly washed fruits in her hands.

"Hey, senior brother, you're back." The girl's eyes lit up. She was wearing a white turtleneck sweater and jeans, which made her figure look slender and she looked like a college student.

"We've finished the work over at Weiwei's place. By the way, is there anyone else in the kitchen?"

"Well, that's..."

Before she finished speaking, the door curtain was drawn open, and a handsome young man with long grey hair walked out. His face was full of gentleness and humility, with a faint smile on his face.

"Su!"

"It's been several months, Ryan." Sue raised her hand, but found it a little too formal. Before she could take her hand back, it was held tightly.

"I'm just waiting for you." Ryan held Su tightly, and then gave Su a hug.

At this point, the Thirteen Heroes had finally gathered, the Golden Courtyard had finally welcomed more than the required number of residents, and he had also achieved an achievement.

Under the premise that no one dies and the world is not on the verge of extinction, let everyone gather around and enter this home.

Including Mei who seldom came back, there were already eighteen residents in the Golden Courtyard.

Su was a little puzzled, thinking, is it necessary to be so excited? Is he some kind of indispensable existence?

He thought a lot for a moment, but in the end he just widened his eyes slightly and patted Ryan's back gently.

"Okay, you know I'm not gay."

"You're so beautiful, it's a shame if you're not gay." Ryan let go of Su's hand, and seeing Su's disgusted look, he laughed: "Okay, okay, we've been good friends for life, so don't help me anymore. Let's chat after not seeing each other for so long."

He dragged Su back to the sofa and sat down, meeting the kind looks from Aponya and Eden, but the rich woman's smile was a little cunning, which made Ryan a little flustered, but there was no chance to ask more questions now.

Hua had also come into contact with Su, so he sat over with her and picked up a knife to peel an apple. Then Ying also came over and handed the freshly brewed scented tea to Celian.

I shouldn't have agreed to move in?

Su was a little speechless. When she was in school, she ate Kevin's dog food every day, and now she was eating Ryan's. She seemed too full. She could only look at the TV and chat with them intermittently.

It turns out that Su has been researching the treatment of Honkai disease, and was also involved in the assassination of Dr. Yodel. A Ruler of Herrsch has imprisoned him, preparing to use him when he has time.

It was a normal procedure and no one noticed that just before the outbreak in Donggong City, an order was forged from headquarters to transfer him out.

"At this time, Miss Himiko arrived, and I realized that all the guards were replaced by people from that side. But it's very strange, why would they take the risk to transfer me out?"

"Because your Honkai adaptability is very high, but your combat power is very weak, and you don't have the reputation of Eden, it's not worth spending too much energy to control you." Ryan took a bite of the apple and said lightly: "So I'll get you first, and then I'll control you when I have the chance."

Although he said it calmly, he was actually a little nervous. Su was almost gone. Fortunately, Mei was very smart. After agreeing with his hypothesis, she sent Himiko to meet her.

"and then?"

"Then a fierce battle broke out on the ship, and Major Himiko was also injured. We fled to a deserted island and finally waited for rescue." Su still had a gentle tone, but the adventure was quite exciting and a little hard to look back on.

"Glad that you're here. Now you should know the value of strength." Ryan patted him on the shoulder.

"Well, at least you have to be able to protect yourself. If I hadn't been holding you back, the major wouldn't have been hurt."

"But I'll recover quickly, hahaha. Staying here for too long will inevitably make you feel dull. It's good to feel some pain." Himiko happened to come down from the second floor and shook her long fiery red hair. "If you feel bad about it, remember to buy me a drink."

She has a generous personality and won't take it to heart.

"Let's talk about it after the fusion surgery. Thank you, Himiko." Ryan nodded slightly.

"I'm not here to freeload. I can't catch up with you guys. It's okay to give me a little help. Besides, I was the ace of the Far East branch at the beginning. Forget it, let's have a couple of drinks first. It's really tiring to teach a few naughty kids. ." Himihu waved his hand and ran to the kitchen to get beer. Then Qianjie's irritable voice came again, telling her to get out of her battlefield quickly.

"Hey, that's not right, Qianjie, why don't you let Ying go when she comes to help?"

"Because she's really helping, and all you're doing is pouring beer into my mouth, which is as rotten as piss, so take it and get out!"

"Hahaha, I saw you drinking secretly."

The woman's wild laughter made Ryan laugh as well, and he patted Su on the shoulder again: "Now that you're here, don't think too much and settle down. Don't worry, there will be plenty of work for you to do in the future."

Su didn't say anything either, which made Ryan feel creepy. He had already met Mei and knew how black-hearted this boss was.

Fortunately, at this time Qianjie came out with a big pot, wearing an apron with a heart pattern on the chest, which formed a sharp contrast with the irritable man.

"You lazy bastards, why don't you help me quickly? Do you still need me to treat you?!"

He was full of murderous intent, but no one was afraid of him now. Those who were slacking off stood up one after another, some set the table, some took the bowls and chopsticks, then Qianjie put the big pot on the table, opened the lid and a strong aroma came out.

"smell good."

"It's beef offal stew. Brother Jie is the best. Let me try it first."

"Pado, wash your hands first when you get home. If you eat something secretly, I will spank your hands."

“Oh, Sister Nia said to hit, Sister Hua, you really hit me!”

"Go wash your hands quickly, and call Gray and Ling down. You must have been slacking off outside and calculated the time to come in."

"Hehehe, Sister Hua still understands me~"

......

The living room suddenly became busy. Ryan glanced at the proud Qianjie and knew that this guy was even more stubborn than Mebius. He was doing the cooking, cleaning, and carpentry, but he still looked disdainful.

But it doesn’t matter, being tsundere is also quite interesting.

"How do you feel?" Ryan turned his head and called Eden who was carrying a stool.

"I never thought it would be this kind of life. I just realized that Ai Li's praise was too subtle." Eden thought for a moment, his amber eyes full of tenderness. "People with peculiar personalities are all beasts outside, but they are full of kindness here. I thought about it for a long time today, and I think there is only one word that is more accurate."

"What word?"

"Home. No matter where the world changes, there is always a home waiting for people to come back." Eden's eyes flickered, and he put his mouth close to Ryan's ear. "This home has no owner. Everyone will do their best for it. Ryan, you have reached the highest level of wisdom."

It was still very comfortable flattery. Ryan shrugged slightly while listening to Qianjie's roar at this "lazy guy".

As expected of Eden, he discovered the essence so quickly.

Above the common interests is the common emotion. Thanks to Alysia, he has created this kind of emotional bond, making the "struggle for survival" and "fighting for civilization" more substantial.

In this golden courtyard, stronger emotions must have been formed. Besides those great epics, can't we fight for ourselves and our friends?

"Brother, I brought you the bowl and chopsticks, eat quickly."

"Yes, teacher. Brother Jie is a very good cook. He has developed many new dishes recently."
