Chapter 189 The Little Girl Selling Nuclear Bombs
Linghua frowned, her face full of confusion as she said, "That's not right. If you simply wanted to take Ying to heal her, wouldn't you have just told her? Why go to such great lengths to come and rob her? Besides, this is Liyue Harbor! It's the most bustling and prosperous place in all of Liyue, and it's also the most heavily guarded. The Thousand Rocks Army guards it day and night. The slightest mistake would alert them immediately. Wouldn't that be more trouble than it's worth?"
Xin Yang shook his head slightly and replied solemnly, "No, from the fight we just had, I could tell they had this planned. They first tried every possible way to hold me back, then took advantage of your distraction to launch a sudden attack. Once they succeeded, they showed no sign of lingering and quickly withdrew from the scene. Furthermore, the four Abyss Apostles he brought with him are all incredibly powerful. Even if they did alert the Thousand Rocks Army, they would likely be difficult to capture in a short period of time. As for why he chose this method, I think it has something to do with his unique identity."
Paimon gradually calmed down. He scratched his chubby head with his little hand and blinked his eyes as he said, "That seems to be the case. Those guys from the Abyss Cult, just standing there, give people a creepy feeling and a bad feeling. Not to mention that they wanted to take Ying away, saying she was going to heal her. No matter how I think about it, I feel that there must be something fishy going on. Ying's brother must have taken this into consideration, so he took the risk of taking Ying away."
Xinyang helped Linghua up and checked her injured arm. Seeing that it had healed, he said, "Who cares what his concerns are? He actually dared to hurt Linghua. The next time I see him, I'm going to kick him a hundred times."
Paimeng quickly advised, "Don't be impulsive. He did this for Ying. He was probably too anxious and didn't care about other things."
Xinyang glared at Paimeng coldly. Paimeng was frightened and quickly flew behind Linghua and hid.
Seeing this, Linghua quickly waved her hand and said, "Alright, don't scare her. Paimon has a point. He might have been too anxious to take Ying to heal, so he was a little rash. Besides, we did do something wrong this time too. We didn't pay attention to Ying's condition in time. If her brother knew about this, he would definitely be very unhappy. Don't be too angry."
Xin Yang snorted, turned his head to the side, and said angrily: "Humph, even if he did it for Ying, he can't just do it without knowing the truth. What if he really hurts you?"
Linghua smiled softly and soothed him, "I'm fine. Look, my hand has completely healed. Besides, you're by my side, watching over me. How could anything possibly happen to me?"
After hearing Linghua's words, Xinyang's anger completely subsided. He turned to look at Linghua, sighed helplessly, and said, "Well, okay, since you said so, I won't bother with him. But next time I see him, he must apologize to you. If he doesn't apologize, I will beat him up no matter what."
As soon as he finished speaking, a portal to the Abyss suddenly appeared above the group. Xinyang reacted extremely quickly, raising his hand and firing a wind blade towards the portal.
Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, the wind blade hit the abyss gate accurately.
In an instant, the gate to the abyss disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
As the abyss gate disappeared, a piece of paper slowly fell from the air and was split in half by the wind blade.
Paimon quickly flew into the air, caught the two halves of the note, put them together, and shouted, "This is Ying's handwriting."
"Paimon, I'm fine. My brother said he wants to treat me and might be away for a few days. Don't worry about me. Also, apologize to Linghua for me. My brother didn't mean it."
Paimeng patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, that's good now, Ying is fine.
Linghua took the note and looked at it carefully. "It seems to be the same as our analysis. Ying is fine and even apologized to me. Now you don't have to be upset anymore."
Xinyang scratched his head sheepishly. "I've calmed down a long time ago. Now, let's go find Master and the others and tell them about Ying's situation so they don't worry too much."
Linghua nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, I should talk to Master and the others about it, so that everyone can feel more at ease."
After that, the three of them walked towards where the immortals were. Along the way, Paimeng chattered non-stop, sometimes speculating about Ying's current treatment situation, and sometimes muttering that he would take her to eat a lot of delicious food when Ying came back.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Wanmin Hall and found the immortals. Xinyang stepped forward and told them everything that had happened.
True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang slammed the table. "How audacious! Does he think we have no one left in Liyue? How dare he hurt anyone in Liyue Harbor?"
Xianyun pressed Master Xueyue Zhuyang down again. "I'm glad you're all okay. We were indeed negligent in this matter. Since he's Ying's brother and Ying left a note, let her be. However, you should still pay more attention around Liyue Harbor these few days, so that you can respond promptly if there are any follow-up situations. Okay, you guys should also get ready. Once Ganyu finishes her work, we'll go to Guiliyuan."
......
When I arrived at Guiliyuan and just walked into the secret room, I heard Guizhong and Zhongli talking and laughing happily.
"Ahem, it seems that the Emperor and the Empress get along very happily." Xianyun led a group of immortals into the secret room.
"Liuyunjiefeng and everyone, you are here again."
Ah Ping walked to the front, pushing a table full of food. "I know you don't have time to eat, so I brought a table full of food specially, so that our disciples can see the elegance of the Emperor and Empress."
Gui Zhong blushed and said, "Oh, don't call me that."
Several other immortals also squeezed to the front and handed the gifts they had prepared to Gui Zhong. "These are some elixirs for nourishing the body. It's a small token of my appreciation. Please accept them."
Gui Zhong took the gift with a smile, his eyes full of joy, and said, "We are all old friends, so I won't be polite. Thank you very much, it's thoughtful."
Zhongli nodded slightly with a gentle smile.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, everyone sat down to eat, and there was constant laughter and joy throughout the meal.
......
When Xinyang and Linghua returned to Chengehu, it was already very late. With slightly tired steps, they slowly walked into their little home.
Lying in bed, Xinyang couldn't help but yawn loudly. Rubbing his eyes, he muttered, "Oh, this day has been really fulfilling. It can be said that I have witnessed history."
Linghua nodded in agreement and said softly, "Yes, the relationship between Zhongli and Guizhong is truly enviable. Guizhong can't walk due to health reasons, and Zhongli never tires of telling her stories from the past thousand years. And just now, during dinner, Zhongli was always very attentive to Guizhong."
Xinyang smiled and moved closer to Linghua, "Do you want to hear a story too?"
Linghua also became interested. "Yes, you told me stories every day when we first met, but now it has been a long time since I heard you tell any."
Xinyang gently pulled up the quilt and carefully covered Linghua. He said, "Okay, let me tell you a story. One bitterly cold winter, there was a little girl. She had no warm fire, no thick cotton clothes, no family, and only a cart full of nuclear bombs. Shivering, the little girl walked along the icy street, shouting, 'Nuclear bombs for sale, nuclear bombs for sale.'"
"What is a nuclear bomb?"
"A weapon even more powerful than General Thunder. Hear me out first."
"So the little girl kept hawking her wares from day to night, but after such a long time, no one was willing to buy her nuclear bombs. The little girl was cold and hungry, and her body was almost unable to support herself. In this extreme helplessness and cold, she couldn't help but think of her deceased grandmother. Then she ignited a nuclear bomb. That night, everyone in the village saw her grandmother."
Linghua sat up suddenly, waving her hands and yelling, "Ah! Ah! Ah! What the hell are you talking about? I'm not going to pay attention to you anymore."
