Chapter 981 Tianhu Haoqi: The Elf Postman and Her Letter
The black cat jumped around on its seat in a panic: "Why didn't I let you help me fight it!"
The corners of her mouth, which had been curving upwards, were straightened by the black cat's words. She said seriously and solemnly, "Of course, I have to fight for Tianhu Haoqi myself."
"But didn't she ask you to help her stop Maple Syrup and the others before?"
“That’s different.” Zhu Ri looked at the apprentice rushing down the corridor with a dagger in his mouth and said softly, “She wasn’t without options back then, she was just in a hurry, but she had to walk the final path to becoming king herself.”
"This is a sign of respect for herself and for me. She doesn't need this kind of help, and I don't need this kind of pity. Whether or not we get Tianhu Haoqi, things are perfect as they are now."
“But the outcome of this match seems very important to her,” the Blood Elf suddenly said. “If you keep failing to draw the ‘Red Center’ item she wants… won’t that affect your relationship?”
“No, because she left the uncontrollable part to me.” Zhu Ri’s tone was light, without a trace of displeasure. “Whether I can draw a card depends entirely on whether she wins or loses.”
"How far she goes is entirely in her own hands."
…
Yu Xunge, who rushed into the corridor with a dagger in her mouth, didn't open the weapon case; this dagger was enough for her.
She was about to use her second unlock opportunity, which she hadn't had a chance to use after her double kill in the Snow Village Corridor, when she suddenly felt her right hand getting hot. It was [Raging Moon] calling to her.
She stood still, watching the level 28 armored guard walk towards her.
But after waiting a second or two, she didn't receive any further prompts.
Is this all that the "Raging Moon" can do?
Is it reminding her that she can solve her current predicament by unlocking its skills?
【Time Travel】【The Reverse Side of the Moon】【Sleepless Tonight】These can be ruled out first.
【Bubble Nebula】? Yes, it has no cooldown and no cost, and it can absorb damage. This skill was originally her alternative.
However, if it's one of these four skills, [Raging Moon] won't remind her.
She started running again and unlocked her fifth skill – [Raging Moon].
This skill has been with her since she first acquired [Raging Moon].
The skill was unlocked, and the retro lantern materialized automatically. It flew beside her head and followed her movements, its body swaying, and the moon inside rolled around.
"I want to hear fairy tales."
This was the first thing it said to Yu Xunge in its consciousness after being unsealed.
Yu Xunge, biting the dagger, mumbled angrily, "#￥%@……@ Do you think I have time to tell you fairy tales right now?"
"I want to hear fairy tales."
It repeated itself.
[Please note that the Zi Chuan grapefruit flower card has been played.]
Looking at the armored guard who was only 2 meters away from him, Yu Xunge lowered his head, loosened his teeth, and let the dagger fall to the ground.
This is her divine relic, the "Raging Moon" that stayed by her side during the Battle of Wine.
As she repeatedly refused the question of whether to become the master or the leader of the wine-carrying party, she realized how compatible she was with the "Grumpy Moon," perhaps no less than with the "Cat's Ideal."
It wouldn't joke at such an important moment.
What kind of skill could help her at this moment? Combat? Healing? Rewind? None of the above.
The only thing that can help her is the next mahjong tile! Time is running out, and her chances are dwindling.
When [Grumpy Moon] emphasized for the second time that she wanted to hear a fairy tale, she vaguely guessed what [Grumpy Moon] wanted to do and what she was capable of doing.
Do fairy tales change reality?!
Fairy tales, a very special literary genre, do not require strict logic. On the contrary, they need a certain degree of exaggeration, a lot of fantasy, magical elements, and a winding path.
Yu Xunge's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.
But what beautiful fairy tale could possibly be worthy of this moment?
The story of chasing the sun?
Legendary enough, and dazzling enough.
She could start from her childhood, recounting the legends and regrets of that time, how the fairy found a homeless child by the lake under the bridge, how her apprentice now makes up for her regrets, and finally, how she wins a hand of mahjong as the beautiful ending a fairy tale should have.
But she couldn't bear to part with it, but she didn't want to...
There must be many people watching her right now.
Even though everyone would dig into her past as she twice achieved the "Heavenly Hand of Seven" (a lucky draw), including the stories of Zhu Ri and Zhu Ri Moment, she was unwilling to tell the world about Zhu Ri's regrets and scars.
Zhu Ri doesn't need pity; she only needs to be admired!
Then we'll have to talk about something else.
She leaped high and kicked at her opponent.
"Long ago, a bored god decided to play a game."
"They found a group of unlucky people, shuffled their fates like a deck of cards, put them in envelopes, stamped them, and dropped them into a mailbox called Astrana."
"In the coming years, they will be picked up by their respective postmen, embarked on their destined routes, and finally sent to the addresses written by fate."
“There was a letter that fell to the lakeside at the bottom of the bridge in Caladom and was picked up by an elf postman named Sun Chaser.”
The little elf sat with its arms crossed, leaning against the pile of mahjong tiles, intently watching the corridor.
No one was talking or chatting in the stands; it was the quietest it had been since the start of the match.
Because of the perfect seventh-round match, Astrana was almost paralyzed.
The whole world fell silent, wanting to hear this fairy tale.
Clever people gleaned extraordinary information from it, while those who weren't so clever could tell that it was an apprentice recounting her story with Chasing the Sun. Even the noisy cubs were captivated by the story and quieted down.
This is what fairy tales are: children listen to the stories, and adults hear the truth beneath the beauty.
Maple Syrup, Pine Rose, and Mist Blade all erupted simultaneously, accelerating the kill. Zaijiu Xunge would never engage in romance or sentimentality at a time like this; it must be some kind of skill!
The best way to break the deadlock is to quickly eliminate the opponent, and after exiting, try to draw or meld cards to trigger random events!
[Please note that the Ghost Card in the Fuqing Wind has awakened.]
The story continues.
"The elven postwoman had a rather bad temper. Her life was quite colorful, and this letter that fate had given her was a really annoying accident. She just grabbed the letter and set off, and no matter how much wind and rain she was exposed to, she didn't bother to put the letter away properly."
"Year after year, they walked from the lake at the bottom of the bridge to Draenor, through Moonlit Wetlands and Ashenvale, until they reached the Golden Hills, where the elven postman lost the letter."
Yu Xunge knelt down and rolled, dodging the massive blades that were crashing down.
The vintage lantern swayed and followed her, the moon inside twinkling merrily, as if asking, "And then what?"
"Later, the postman, who never stopped for anything or anyone, put down everything he was doing and began searching for the lost letter."
She traded the Moon Crown for a small boat, took her friends, and went to a very, very far place. She hated boredom the most, but after enduring a long period of boredom, she finally found the letter.
"The stamps were nowhere to be found, and the envelope was nowhere to be found either. She saw a piece of paper riddled with holes, which was what the letter originally looked like."
"Alas, she was deceived. This letter was not valuable at all, nor was it as good as she thought."
"But she still carefully brought the letter back."
