Chapter 51 My Wardrobe is Quite Big (3) Who else hasn't arrived yet...?
"Charybdis".
Xia Ying heard herself make a dry, bitter sound from her throat.
Why are you here?
Xia Ying's eyes involuntarily drifted towards the wardrobe behind her: "Wait, wait, wait, we'd better think about this matter more carefully!"
Although Fafnir is tough and his life or death is not so important, this fragile dwelling that has temporarily lost its field magic is very important!
Imagine if the two incompatible Lords of the Rings were to fight here; Cerberus would be greeted by ruins upon his return from his shopping spree, and the innkeeper would be on holiday again...
So she'll have no choice but to sleep on the streets with her dog!
Such serious consequences made Xia Ying immediately decide to do everything she could to prevent the two from meeting.
“I’m completely fine now, Charybdis.” She immediately showed him her healthy and strong limbs. “See, there’s nothing to worry about! So, could you…”
"Actually, there's something else I wanted to tell you this time." The siren deliberately tossed her long, shimmering hair, which resembled the shallow sea. "Xia Ying, when choosing a ring domain, would you consider our Shadow Scale Ring?"
"Why is it about the allocation of the ring area again?" Xia Ying felt a slight headache. "To put it another way, this is not like applying for college. I can't just fill in a place and go there."
“I know, but I think if you had a clear choice in your mind, the outcome might be different.”
Charybdis looked at Xia Ying with clear, harmless eyes and asked casually.
"And what do you mean by 'again'? Could it be that other Ring Domain Lords have said the same thing to you?"
Xia Ying replied without hesitation, "No, of course not."
"Is that so?" Charybdis drawled, observing every subtle change in Xia Ying's expression.
Just as a hint of tension began to rise, the siren suddenly smiled and said softly, "Don't be nervous, Xia Ying, I was just asking."
Xia Ying chuckled dryly: "Haha..."
The siren said, "So, it's Fafnir who's here, right?"
Xia Ying was startled and subconsciously turned around to look.
There was nothing behind him, and Charybdis continued, "You've been looking outside, so he's in the living room... no, the bedroom... inside the closet?"
Xia Ying almost stared in horror, but the siren had already fully demonstrated his intelligence and cunning, and she immediately controlled her expression, only letting her eyelashes tremble slightly.
But the King of Shadowscale still gleaned the answer from her unusually calm reaction.
"It seems he really is here." The shadow gradually spread across the siren's expression. He smiled terrifyingly, and more and more water gushed out of the bathtub. Xia Ying smelled the damp, salty scent and sensed the danger that the siren would turn the house into a vast ocean.
"etc!"
Xia Ying shouted and jumped into the bathtub without hesitation, straddling Charybdis's waist.
She was sitting right where Charybdis transitioned from a human to a fish tail. His exceptionally fine and sensitive scales were suddenly pressed against the warm and soft human skin, and he trembled as if electrocuted, then struggled weakly as if he were suffocating.
Xia Ying, however, would not allow him to escape.
She grabbed the siren by the neck with both hands, pressed him down below the surface of the water, and then leaned over to say to him, "You're not so cute if you're too jealous, Karyl."
The bathtub became the smallest and most inescapable part of the sea. Charybdis looked at Xia Ying's face through the water. Despite being a siren who was omnipotent in the water, he was trapped in it and could not move.
He wanted her to kill him, yet he also wanted to beg her for a kiss. Whichever she chose, Charybdis's heart would stop beating in overwhelming happiness.
"Okay...okay," he said, his mind clouded with desire. "I won't do anything without your orders."
"That's more like it, good boy." Xia Ying smiled and pulled him up from underwater.
Charybdis collapsed against the bathtub wall, exhausted, her eyes red and her neck slightly raised. The marks left by Xia Ying on her snow-white skin were clearly visible, making her look fragile and beautiful, subtly arousing sadistic desires.
Xia Ying saw his lips move slightly, but couldn't hear what he was saying, so she bent down and put her ear close to his lips.
Charybdis's cheeks flushed even more, her eyes unfocused, and she unconsciously repeated, as if sobbing, "I like you so much."
“How come I feel…” Xia Ying gently lifted his chin with her fingertips, “it’s like you would agree even if I asked you to be my toy for the rest of your life.”
Suddenly, someone embraced Xia Ying from behind, with dark red hair falling down, and a hoarse voice sounded nearby.
"It's so heartbreaking, Xia Ying, I'm the one who's your slave."
Xia Ying's body froze instantly.
"Hey, Fafnir." She turned around, sweating profusely. "Didn't we agree to stay in the closet?"
“Yes, I waited for you to come back in a small, dark place, but you were lured away by other abyssal creatures.” Fafnir turned her face and kissed her cheek.
Xia Ying glanced quickly and carefully at the dragon's face. He seemed calm, but his gaze went past Xia Ying and stared straight at the sea monster that Xia Ying was pressing down on.
She quickly turned her gaze to the siren. He first looked at the spot where Xia Ying had just been kissed, then shifted his gaze to the culprit, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as a calm abyss, sending chills down her spine.
Caught in the middle, Xia Ying sensed something was terribly wrong, but before she could figure out a way to stop both sides, war had already broken out.
The dragon and the siren's faces instantly turned ferocious and terrifying.
"Don't touch her!!!" / "I'm going to kill you!!!"
"You two!!!"
A surge of rage suddenly welled up in Xia Ying's heart.
"If you don't stop right now!!! You're going to get out of my sight forever!!!"
####
This is why we have this strange situation now.
Xia Ying stood at the bathroom door, looking at the charred walls and the seawater flowing everywhere with heartache. Fafnir and Charybdis stood on either side of her, glaring at each other with murderous intent.
"Don't be angry, Xia Ying." Charybdis hugged Xia Ying's arm and looked at her with teary eyes, trying to appease her. "You can restore her to her original state with healing magic."
Fafnir, not to be outdone, grabbed Xia Ying's other arm and sneered, "Who doesn't know? It's just repair magic."
Xia Ying said, "That's great! Now, who will use this healing magic on me?"
The dragon and the siren fell silent instantly.
Xia Ying turned to Fafnir: "You can't?"
The dragon nodded with shame and difficulty.
She then turned to Charybdis: "And you?"
"I'm sorry." The siren bit her lower lip, on the verge of tears. "If it's related to water, I can help..."
Xia Ying felt utterly devastated.
In her despair, her emotions gradually calmed down, and a little doubt began to grow.
"Wait a minute, something's not right," she thought. "How did you two know I was here? And why did you both arrive at the same time?"
Fafnir said, "I bought intelligence from an intelligence dealer."
“…Me too.” Charybdis glanced at him and continued, “They told me that today is the best time.”
“Because the field magic of my temporary residence just happened to malfunction today.” The answer gradually emerged in Xia Ying’s mind, and she said word by word, “Also, the information brokers you encountered could not be the same ones, could they?”
Charybdis nodded: "I think it's probably the abyssal creature you're thinking of."
After he finished speaking, he waited anxiously for the other party's anger to erupt, but Xia Ying seemed relatively calm.
She looked away and began to scan the room.
“From what I know of that guy, he deliberately created this chaos; he probably won’t miss the chance to have some fun on the spot,” Xia Ying asked softly. “Is he here now?”
The dragon and the siren focused their attention, amplifying their perception of the magic within the temporary dwelling.
After a short while, they both pointed to the sofa in the living room.
Xia Ying looked over and saw an inconspicuous small piece of worn-out fabric under the sofa.
...This thing looks familiar.
Xia Ying lowered her voice dangerously: "Don't let him get away."
The two kings of the ring nodded.
Xia Ying took a deep breath and rushed to the sofa. The tattered cloth sensed something was wrong and immediately scurried away like a cockroach.
It first flew towards the nearest door, but was blocked by a wall of fire that shot up in the air. Then it turned and fled towards the window, but was knocked down by the rapids.
A teleportation array lit up in the living room, and the tattered cloth rushed towards that light of salvation, only to be pinned to the ground by a sword.
"Hello, Diner." Xia Ying walked over, drew her sword, and stabbed several times into the hood with fierceness and without changing expression.
A fierce glint flashed before his eyes, and the blade grazed his handsome face before piercing the ground.
With tears in its eyes, Taotie begged for mercy: "Don't kill me yet! I have something very important to say!"
Xia Ying paused in her action of drawing her sword: "Speak."
"Could you, could you please..."
He spoke with an air of fearlessness, as if facing death.
"Let's just chop your head off."
"Wait! Let me say one more thing! This time I'm serious!" Taotie shouted under the guillotine, "I know someone who can use healing magic!"
"who?"
“Qilin.” The Taotie, fearing for its life, quickly uttered the name. “We can have him fix your bathroom.”
Xia Ying's headache returned: "Why did it have to be the King of the Tomb Keepers? He hates me so much, how could he possibly come here!"
“It’s very simple,” Taotie said. “Just tell him that the previous failed meeting of the King of the Rings is to be held again, and then give him the address here, and he will arrive within a minute.”
Xia Ying was highly skeptical: "How could there be such an idiot in Cocytus?"
Charybdis suddenly spoke up: "No, if it's a Qilin, I might actually believe it."
Xia Ying then looked at Fafnir, and even the dragon nodded.
So there really are idiots like that!
So she looked at Taotie again and threatened, "You, find a way to bring the Qilin over right now and fix my bathroom, or I'll chop your head off."
"Leave it to me!"
Taotie, now energized with another mischief to do, skillfully forged a meeting invitation and used teleportation magic to send it to the Tomb Ring.
"Just you wait and see!" the King of the Feast said confidently. "In another minute, no, in a few seconds, the Qilin will be foolishly knocking on your door..."
Before she could finish speaking, footsteps came from outside the door. Xia Ying rushed forward and opened the door.
She was stunned, because the person standing outside the door was Cerberus, who had just returned from shopping.
Cerberus was stunned, for beside him, the King of the Tomb Keepers was stepping out of the teleportation spell.
The King of the Tomb Keepers was stunned, for he saw the succubus girl who had given him nightmares again at the Ring Realm Conference he had been told about.
Cerberus was the first to react in the stalemate.
He glanced at the Qilin, then at the group of abyssal creatures in his home, and finally his gaze settled on Xia Ying.
"Explain, Xia Ying."
“That’s right, Ke’er.” Xia Ying was sweating profusely. “Simply put… the Huanyu Admissions Office came to recruit students in person, hoping to reserve me, their outstanding student, in advance.”
The Qilin instantly bristled and shouted, "You are not allowed to choose the Tomb Ring!"
Cerberus looked at her suspiciously, about to ask more questions, when black feathers suddenly floated up in the already crowded living room.
This scene seemed familiar to Xia Ying and Cerberus, and their alarm bells immediately went off.
Sure enough, the next second, a magnificent six-winged demon appeared in the temporary residence.
He looked around, a mocking smile on his face, and gracefully sat down on the sofa: "Although your place is still pitifully shabby, it's at least lively enough."
"..."
Xia Ying was stunned for about ten seconds, then suddenly turned her face and said to Cerberus with great conviction.
"Now you believe me, right? Even the director of the admissions office came!"
