Chapter 15 Pudding's Murder Secret
Nefleya Square, a bustling area of the capital.
Beichen finally understood the power of celebrity. Even though he was wearing a helmet, someone still seemed to recognize him immediately. Even if they hadn't, the sight of a tall, uniformed Star Vein next to him was enough to draw attention.
Beichen looked at Xifeng as he walked.
Under the beret is a layer of dark green hair, starry eyes, sword-like eyebrows, thin lips, and a slightly sci-fi military uniform neatly worn on his body. The gloves are also worn meticulously. His back is straight, and even when he is taking a walk, he has the feeling of a soldier marching. The long sniper rifle strap is slung across his shoulder, and his left hand holds the butt of the rifle at his side, as if he is ready to point the barrel of the gun directly at Beichen's forehead if something goes wrong.
Well, he might be a bit of a sadist, but he's actually a pretty cool, handsome uncle! ...Uh, you wouldn't tell from his appearance, but he's over 300, so calling him uncle should be okay, right?
Xifeng felt a little nervous when Beichen stared at her and glanced at her.
"Why, is there a store you want to go into?"
"Eh?!" Beichen didn't dare admit that she was just daydreaming, so he rolled his eyes around, trying to find something to talk about. Then he suddenly noticed a huge statue in the middle of the square. "Ah... Whose statue is that? It looks so majestic!"
"It seems that he is the founding king of Latia, and has nothing to do with us. However."
Xifeng suddenly stared at the statue with great interest for a while.
"It's made of Moorish steel. If we use acid pulse bombs, we can probably successfully detonate it within ten rounds. If we attack from the waist, the collapse will be very effective. If we use incendiary bombs to assist..."
"Wait, wait, wait! Don't just destroy the spiritual symbols of a country!"
"Because it's a spiritual symbol, when it collapsed it carried with it the anger and grief of a nation's people. You can't experience that kind of pleasure."
"I don't want to experience this at all!" Beichen cried out weakly, then hugged Xifeng's left hand, fearing that he would raise his sniper rifle: "I see there is a clothing store over there, let's go over and buy some spare clothes!"
Fortunately, Xifeng's attention didn't seem difficult to divert. After hearing what Beichen said, he just let her drag him towards the store. Looking at her nervous look as she hugged his arm, the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly.
So the two of them entered the clothing store. Beichen was still a young girl after all, so she was somewhat excited to see the beautiful clothes. She happily picked out a few sets to change into. But the problem was that after she changed, Xifeng's attitude...
Casual dress──
West Wind: "What's the point of this light and cool thing? The wind pressure of one of my explosive bombs can blow it up. Do you want to expose your butt to everyone around you?"
Beichen: "But why would you use explosive bombs in public?"
A sophisticated combat uniform—
Xifeng: "Although it's light, it's too tight. My curves are completely exposed. I feel a little embarrassed about you. And if I gain weight or fat, I won't be able to wear it anymore."
Beichen: "Don't curse me to get fat!"
Gothic trench coat skirt──
West Wind: "Too rebellious, what's with the skeleton lace thing? Are you going to act in a play or fight in a war?"
Beichen: "I'm not always at war, and this is obviously very personal..."
Because summer is almost over, I'm selling beautiful swimwear at a special price.
Xifeng: "Shameless!! Shameless!! Go back and change now!! What's the point of something that exposes so much skin and is made of such fragile material! If you want to do underwater activities, can't you just hold a carbon spirit crystal in your mouth?!"
Beichen: "Then the summer sunshine, beaches and sea would have no meaning!!"
After an hour of arguing, every set of clothes that Beichen tried to change into was rejected by Xifeng. Just when the clerk's patience was almost exhausted and the veins on his head were about to burst, Xifeng unexpectedly threw out a pile of gold coins and put the clothes directly into the storage space.
Beichen looked at him in surprise: "Hey, don't you dislike it?"
Xifeng also looked back at Beichen in disbelief: "What does it have to do with whether I like the clothes you buy? Isn't it enough for you to like them?"
"Then why do you object?"
"Of course I'll tell you if I'm not satisfied with something, but that has nothing to do with whether you buy it or not."
"Oh..." Beichen scratched his hair with a dry laugh. "After all, we're all together all day. It wouldn't be nice to have you watching me walking around in front of you wearing clothes I don't like, right?"
Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then coughed dryly a few times.
"I've already bought it, and besides, a place like this won't have the clothes I like."
"...Then what do you like, Xifeng? Let's go to another store and have a look!"
"..." Xifeng looked at her for a few seconds, then looked away, "You want to seduce me? No way."
"How did I seduce you?!"
Xifeng ignored Beichen's jumping and directly stuffed the sniper rifle in his hand into Beichen's hand, then his figure turned into golden light and disappeared, and then a sci-fi military uniform appeared on Beichen's body.
"This is what I like, understand?"
“…There’s nowhere to buy it!!”
Then, in the midst of such a chaotic shopping, Beichen got tired and pulled Xifeng to a small roadside open-air restaurant. Because it was the midnight snack time, there were many people around, including many couples. Some were drinking from couple cups, and some were feeding each other with a plate of pudding. The pink flash made Xifeng furious, and he hated himself for being a sniper rifle instead of a machine gun.
But Beichen didn't care about these. She just looked around carefully and frowned a little disappointedly:
"Really? Most couples are humans and humans. Even if there are humans and weapons... the humans sit down, and the weapons stand next to each other..."
"Are you speaking up for Zhanqi? I appreciate your stance, but before you demand emotional equality, you should pay more attention to Zhanqi's food and clothing."
"Um."
Beichen nodded, then suddenly came back to his senses:
"But this is too strange. If humans and war machines can't be together, why can't war machines be together? I've never even seen a pair of war machine lovers."
Xifeng lowered his eyes.
"This is a mystery that even the War Machines want to know. War Machines can develop feelings for members of the opposite sex, but it's extremely difficult for these feelings to reach the level of love. Even if they do fall in love, they won't experience any physical reaction to the other person. In other words, they can't have sex. It's as if some switch in their body has been turned off—on the other hand, this isn't a problem with humans."
“…”
Beichen thought of the information he saw in the ruins at that time, and seemed to have a vague hypothesis in his mind.
Could it be that... the war machines are really an artificial race...?
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Xifeng suddenly changed his sitting position and leaned forward, "Open your mouth."
"ah?"
Beichen actually had no intention of opening his mouth, but because of this questioning "Ah", Xifeng still got the opportunity - he stuffed the gun barrel into Beichen's mouth!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"
Beichen was so scared that his face turned green, and he started to struggle and dance. The people at the nearby tables were also confused. Some people suddenly stood up and wanted to question Xifeng. The waiters also ran over, but they were all stopped in their tracks by Xifeng's murderous eyes.
"Don't mind your own business with my master, and go and express your feelings."
"But you..."
Although I don't know what type of weapon it is, it is indeed quite rude to put part of the weapon into the owner's mouth!
"I didn't intend to kill her. Once again, mind your own business!"
Therefore, under the powerful aura of the Star Vein, all the passers-by who wanted to stand up for justice shrank away in disappointment, but they still glanced at him from the corner of their eyes from time to time.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo! (West Wind, what are you planning to do?)"
Xifeng's hearing must be quite amazing. He understood Beichen's speech in this situation:
"You should have noticed that I have so many different types of bullets. I can use the surrounding materials to mix bullets."
"Murmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmurmur! (What does that have to do with you shoving a gun barrel in my mouth!)"
Xifeng's eyes wandered for a long time, then he turned his head away and cleared his throat.
"I accidentally ordered pudding and accidentally made a bullet."
“Uru ...
"So you better eat it. I don't want to waste my magazine."
Xifeng tilted his head and pulled the trigger, and a bullet made of pudding was shot directly into Beichen's mouth. Due to the strong force, Beichen was almost choked to death by the pudding that suddenly expanded twice as large in his throat. He choked for a long time with a twisted face before he finally swallowed the pudding with great difficulty.
Xifeng put away the gun with satisfaction, and took out a piece of white cloth to wipe the muzzle carefully.
──I say, if you want to feed your own owner, just feed her. Why use such a horrible thing? And then wipe your saliva after feeding her. Do you like her or hate her? !
The people who were secretly watching around all started to complain in their hearts.
Beichen took a long time to catch his breath with a green face, and Xifeng used his glares to scare away the people around him again.
"How does it taste?"
“Good…delicious…thank you…”
"Really? Then I'll keep the bullet formula for now."
Please don't keep it! What if I accidentally choose the wrong bullet when fighting the possessed Moon Envoy and shoot out a pile of pudding?! And I never want to eat pudding like this again - it's better to say that I have a psychological trauma about pudding!
Beichen cried out miserably in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to speak it out loud.
She could sense that Xifeng was trying to be nice, so she didn't know how to reject his advances. --Alas, she'd better just suffer a little, since his intentions were good after all.
After a short silence, Xifeng spoke again.
"You haven't mentioned revenge these days."
When talking about business, Beichen's expression calmed down.
"I'm always thinking about revenge for Pinhua and Xiangying. I will never let the Jafa Divine Group off easily."
"Then why haven't you taken action recently?"
“…”
Beichen was silent, but Xifeng raised his eyebrows.
"You're probably worried about the others. They're already exhausted from the frequent battles lately, especially Black Disaster and Su Jie. They've only just achieved the Seventh Scar, but they've been fighting several high-level battles while maintaining their full body weaponization. It's clear they're starting to run out of energy."
"...Yeah. I'm anxious, but I can't drag everyone into battle under these circumstances."
"So you pretend to be relaxed and relieved so they can relax too?"
Beichen put down the spoon in the milk tea cup in surprise.
"How do you know?"
"I just happened to see you running to the dorm rooftop in the middle of the night to vent your anger. By the way, punching a pillow doesn't really vent much anger, so why don't I get you some antiques to throw around?"
"No, no, no, no thanks! I don't have such weird interests!"
Beichen shook his hands hurriedly, then suddenly seemed to see something, his eyes moved behind Xifeng, he retracted his messy movements, and smiled politely.
Xifeng turned around and saw two men (one of them was Luo Hou) following behind Jialina and walking towards this side. They had obviously discovered Beichen.
"I didn't expect to see you here. Is Karina shopping here too?"
"Ah... well, sort of. It would be more accurate to say I'm acting as a tour guide."
Karina took a step aside and politely waved her hand to the man next to her - he was a tall man with silver hair and blue eyes, with a handsome face, but also a fierce look. His brows were furrowed and his lips were tightly pursed. His whole body exuded an inviolable majesty. At this moment, he was looking at Beichen and Xifeng calmly.
"He is Ferrero, King of Sazam."
Galina approached the two of them and said this in the lowest voice possible. Beichen was startled and wanted to stand up to greet them, but King Sazam just stretched out his hand to stop them, probably because he didn't want his identity to be exposed.
"You are the Speed Killer White Shadow Yaxiu, right? I happened to be looking for you too."
The man spoke, his voice slightly hoarse and nasal, a bit like the notes of a bass string instrument. He casually pulled out a chair next to Beichen's table and sat down, then gestured with his eyes for Carina to sit down as well.
"First, thank you for saving Carina's life. Second, thank you for your help at Sylvia's private party. However, since you threatened her, I don't intend to thank you materially."
Beichen looked at Jialina expressionlessly when he heard this, while Jialina smiled bitterly and shook her hands desperately:
"Your Majesty, are you really going to be satisfied if I don't have any friends? Miss Yaxiu, I didn't tell anyone what happened that day, but His Majesty seems to have a way of keeping an eye on me all the time, so he knows what happened that day. But I promise that besides him, me, and Luo Hou, no one else knows!"
"……well."
Beichen sighed somewhat exhaustedly. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, more and more people knew about it.
"You don't have to think this is a bad thing, Yashu Tuling."
King Sazam stared at Beichen. There was clearly not much murderous intent in his eyes, but Beichen was so overwhelmed by the inexplicable pressure that he could not utter a word of rebuttal.
"I think we can negotiate a big deal. If it goes through, you might be able to get countless money and supplies—including weapons."
"……What?"
King Sazam looked at Beichen straight in the eye, but for some reason she felt like he was looking down at her.
"My request is that we be selected."
...as a shrine maiden.
