Chapter 967 Tianhu Haoqi: Why is the bill getting longer and longer?
Before she could even count to 2, Yu Xunge heard the sound of glass being hammered violently. She looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was coming from a transparent box near the ceiling.
Inside the box stood a light brown sea squirrel, which looked not much bigger than the Sunstalker, but its fluffy tail was almost twice the size of its body.
It was anxiously pounding on the glass window.
"Aba aba." I need to verify if you really are the one searching for songs in the Moonlight Wetlands.
"Aba—!" I'm asking you, how many gold coins do you still owe your teacher?
The sea squirrel's anxiety vanished, replaced by seriousness and solemnity. It raised its right paw, its finger forming a "0".
What gold coins? When have I ever owed any gold coins? Never!
Yu Xunge's eyes immediately lit up. Ignoring the little elf that jumped on her head and started hopping around and stomping on her head, she pointed at the sea squirrel and said to the black curly-haired lady, "Aba aba!" She is another me!
Bitter Cup: "Tsk."
...
The black cat, tired of laughing, finally looked up from the screen and asked curiously, "Have you paid back the money you owe Wailing?"
It paused for a moment at the end of its sentence, because it could see a kind of melancholy on Zhu Ri's face.
Noticing the black cat looking at her, Zhu Ri's expression relaxed, and she asked, "What did you say?"
“Oh… I said, have you paid back the money you owe Wailing?” the black cat patiently repeated.
Unexpectedly, this resulted in a prolonged silence. Her gaze fell on the apprentice's face on the screen, but her eyes clearly drifted away.
So long that even the blood elf standing nearby couldn't help but turn around to look at her.
The black cat cautiously reached out its paw and touched Zhu Ri: "Are you alright?"
“Hmm…” Zhu Ri came back to her senses, and she curved the corners of her mouth into a self-deprecating smile. She said, “I just suddenly understand why my bills are getting longer and longer.”
Back when she was still studying in Moonlight Wetlands, Wailing was dirt poor. Thieves earn a lot but spend a lot, not to mention Wailing's dream was to raise a dragon, but Wailing still spent most of the money she earned on her.
Buy her the best violin, the sharpest dagger, the best wolfskin boots, the best nutritional supplements...
Every year during the Winter Veil festival, I would choose a main city to take her to visit.
The wailing at that time may have been a sign of her unease and guilt. In order to prevent her from being bound and affected by these distracting thoughts, a bill was drawn up.
The bill was hanging in the living room; they agreed to pay it back slowly after she graduated.
But after the final year of the Gods' Game ended, interest was suddenly added to the bill.
In the long years that followed, whenever she was close to paying off the bill, Wailing would find an excuse to add some more.
Sometimes it's interest, sometimes it's a expense from a certain date that I suddenly remembered but forgot to record.
She thought the dwarf was desperate for money.
But it doesn't matter, since making money is just a way for her to pass the time anyway.
For a powerhouse like her, gold coins are like roadside grass—something she can get anytime she wants.
She also wanted to see how many other bizarre reasons Wailing could come up with...
But just now, as she watched the apprentices holding up the little elves and asking her other self how much money they still owed their teacher, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind:
If the apprentice remembers the bill after regaining her future memories and is able to come back to pay it, will she be able to see her apprentice more often?
Is Wailing thinking the same thing? She has so many gold coins she could never spend them all, yet the bill is still so long…
They kept waiting for the day when they could let go of each other's resentment. They both firmly believed that such a day would come, and this thought sustained them day after day, year after year.
But what about the time before you can let go? Should you pretend you don't know them?
Was she afraid that the moment the bill was paid, she would never again have a reason to see the apprentice who secretly hated her?
Ah, when the thought of "before letting go" flashed through Zhu Ri's mind, she was surprised to realize that the moment they had been looking forward to for more than forty years had already quietly and silently come.
She had imagined countless times what that moment would be like. Would it be the moment of relief amidst the huge cheers of her apprentice winning the Heavenly Hand Seven? Or perhaps it would be at some other moment, but it would certainly be a day worth remembering.
There will definitely be a time when, for the rest of my life, whenever I talk about it, I can't help but take out a good drink and have a toast.
But now, on a whim, she opened the window and discovered that the ice and snow of the winter night had already melted.
Her attributes haven't increased naturally for a long time, and the "annihilation" that once almost buried her has disappeared at some point.
Amidst the terrified gazes of the black cat and the blood elf, Zhu Ri lowered his eyes and chuckled softly—a genuine laugh filled with joy and ease.
Zhu Ri smiled lightly at his two old classmates and said, "I need to find a way to get Wailing to cancel the bill."
To avoid letting Zhu Ri's words fall flat, the black cat awkwardly continued, "Then... will she agree?"
Zhu Ri's expression froze, and the smile on his face gradually solidified.
She began to have doubts. Would that greedy dwarf double the bill once he knew she had completely let go?
Over the years, Wailing may have tasted the sweetness of success... She's practically the dwarves' private bank!
With a serious expression, Zhu Ri continued watching the game of gods. No, she had to have a serious talk with Wailing.
Hmm, I should also have a good talk with the apprentice.
Can her ability to come and go freely cross the world?
She doesn't have a song-finding sprite, so it would be too unfair to end it like this.
...
When Yu Xunge entered the sixth game room, the Sun-Chasing Sprite had already disappeared. Just as the skill description said, she would leave when she was angry.
This discovery filled Yu Xunge with immense joy, for it made her feel the reality of the little elf—it truly was chasing the sun.
Even though she saw several familiar faces in the game room, it didn't dampen her good mood.
She was standing inside reading the game rules when Bo Mang and Fat Goose approached her from either side.
Bo Mang: "I heard you've gone mad?"
Fat Goose: "I heard you and Mist Blade have a child?"
Bo Mang: "Really?! There's so much gossip today, I missed this episode. When did this happen? Who's the child with now?"
Fat Goose: "It's true, that child was adopted by Wheat Crab and is named Little Seahorse."
Bo Mang: "...All the gossip I ate was connected."
Yu Xunge: "……………………"
She turned around and stared at the fat goose for a long time with a complicated and inquisitive look, trying to see if he was joking. But she found that his expression was frighteningly serious.
But having studied with Fatty Goose at Moonlight Wetland for so many years, how could she not see that Fatty Goose was trying not to laugh?
Yu Xunge opened his mouth, then closed it weakly again.
Forget it, seriously refuting it just makes the whole thing seem even more ridiculous.
...Let Mistblade explain. Fat Goose, with his fearless nature, will definitely go to Mistblade and unleash his ultimate attack right in his face.
Yu Xunge ignored Fatty Goose and Bo Mang and continued reading the game rules.
This game is a bit tricky—it involves "logical reasoning without logic."
