Chapter 149 Welcome back
Chapter 149 Welcome back
Ying and Hua Sanli knew exactly what the dusky bird that suddenly appeared was.
Meeting those eyes with a hint of meaning, Ying stammered for a long time before uttering a tentative cry.
"elder sister?"
As if receiving a signal, "she" was stunned. Although she didn't understand what was going on, a warm feeling surged in her heart at the thought of seeing her lover again.
The look he gave Ying was filled with tenderness and longing that could melt anyone's heart.
"Ying, I'm back."
Time seemed to have been paused, Ying was completely stunned, and even her heartbeat became cautious.
He moved forward with leaping steps, approaching "her".
Although she knew that wishes could be fulfilled in the mirage, Ying no longer asked for anything more as long as she could project "her" figure.
As for the voice and the soul, even though I know it is impossible, I still hold a glimmer of miracle in my heart.
Now, the miracle has happened.
"Welcome back, sister." Ying choked.
It's very strange. It's something worth being happy about, but my tears are flowing like a dam bursting, and I can't stop them.
While wiping away Ying's tears, somehow, "her" heart felt as if it had been shot by an arrow, and she felt depressed and uncomfortable.
"She" understood that it was the emotion called guilt that was causing the problem.
It was the guilt of leaving behind a letter and leaving without saying goodbye. It was the remorse of abandoning Ying and Paimon, not fulfilling my promise to travel with them. It was the shame of making Ying miss him for countless days and nights.
“She” didn’t know how to make Ying forgive her, so she could only hug Ying tightly and repeat in her ear: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
There were tears in the corners of Hanasari's eyes. When she saw this scene, for some reason, her nose felt sore.
It seems like all the efforts I've made have finally paid off.
Paimon floated in front of "her", not caring whether he was a light bulb or not, staring blankly at the familiar companion who had traveled with them before.
"Yeyu, is it really you? You're back?"
"It's me, Paimon. Do you want a hug?"
It was still that doting tone, still that familiar caring gesture. Paimon didn't hesitate, and threw himself into "her" arms and began to complain.
"Woo wow—Ye Yu, you're finally back. While you were away, a mean woman with a name very similar to yours kept bullying me!"
Before "she" could ask, Ye Yu became unhappy.
What is a bad woman?
She was a little bit mean, but not to the point of being bad, right?
"Paimon, I'm not a bad woman, am I? You really hurt my heart when you say that..."
Ye Yu pretended to be heartbroken and looked pitiful.
"It's her! This scumbag woman always teases me for fun!" Paimon continued to complain.
Now that I have someone to back me up, I can finally stand up for once!
Looking in the direction of Paimon's finger, "her" gaze collided with Ye Yu's.
Ye Yu was the first to greet.
"Hey, welcome back. I've done a great job on what you entrusted to me. The little guy and Paimon have had plenty of food and clothing along the way."
"As a reward, shouldn't you show me your legs?"
Looking at Yeyu, a knowing and nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of "her" mouth.
"It's you. How does it feel to travel?"
"Not bad. I got to see the customs and cultures of different countries and experienced a lot of things. But... I still want to see their legs." Ye Yu was still frivolous.
This is a topic that only "she" and myself can understand.
It can be traced back to when "she" was still traveling. Every time she saw me, she would touch my legs and take advantage of me from time to time.
Ye Yu still remembers this act of taking advantage.
"Sure, but it depends on whether Yingtong agrees. After all, I'm her wife."
"She" asked Ying in her arms for her opinion.
Like a kitten that had taken over its territory, Ying was almost furious.
After swallowing his saliva, Ye Yu chose to follow his heart.
"Forget it, I'm afraid the little guy will kill me with his sword..."
After chatting with Ye Yu, "she" started reminiscing about the past with other people.
The picture is warm and harmonious, making people feel unreal.
"No, what's the point of this? Is this still Teyvat, where the knife is thrown?"
[I'm used to eating with a knife, so suddenly I'm a little uncomfortable with a handful of candy.]
Is it really okay for us to eat something so sweet?
[No knife, no knife, just sugar! Hahahaha! Lao Mi, don't you know how to make games? All future plots will be based on this standard!]
[It's candy! It's candy! I knew that any event with Klee's daughter would be filled with candy!]
[“She” admitted that she is my wife! Sigh!]
[That's great, it's really great, I'm finally not alone anymore! Chef Ying cried bitterly!]
[A beautiful and gentle older sister. When I think of this ideal type of wife, the corners of my mouth lift unconsciously. Well done, Lao Mi!]
As it turned out, the barrage was too happy too early.
As they chatted, "her" figure began to become illusory, like a ghost, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
Not only that, the mirage that had just recovered also began to tremble, as if it would collapse at any time.
"This...what is going on?" Paimon was the only person present who was not affected by the earthquake.
"The mirage... is collapsing? How is that possible? The core hub has clearly resumed operation..."
Idia looked towards the core hub and her voice stopped abruptly.
Because the core wheel hub that was running just now stopped again at some point.
Not only that, the huge core light in the hub was also dimming rapidly, and the energy replenished by the Mirage Jade Box was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's because of me..."
"I can feel that the big wheel is what supports my transformation."
"Its energy is no longer enough to support my continued existence here."
"She" sighed.
Although it is a pity, as a dead person, what is there to be dissatisfied about for "her" to see her lover and friends again?
"Goodbye, Paimon, Hanasari, and everyone else. I'm so happy to see you again."
"She" smiled calmly, obviously intending to disappear on her own.
"Goodbye, Ying..."
Ying was trembling all over and wanted to ask him to stay, but she couldn't.
For love, sacrificing this mirage that gathers the dreams and wishes of countless people in exchange for a moment of "her" existence, let alone Ying, "she" would not agree to do so.
Logically, Idia is the manager of the Mirage Realm, and it is impossible for Ying to steal her friend's things for her own selfish desires.
But, but...
"But I really want you to stay! Even for just a moment--!!"
Ying almost roared.
I can endure darkness as long as I have never seen the light...
Why give her hope while making her experience separation again?
With a loud bang, the energy in the core hub ran out, and even the Mirage Jade Box that was originally filled with the wishes of Ying and Hua Sanli was the same.
