Chapter 171 - I have to wait
Chapter 171 - I have to wait
"Master Ning Fei!"
The strong wind gradually died down, the white cloth fell down, and Prince Finn finally found a figure on the roof not far away. Although he was not wearing his iconic cloak and was dressed simply, Prince Finn looked carefully at the figures sitting side by side. Wasn't one of them the Ning Fei he had been thinking about day and night?
"Quickly salute His Excellency!" Prince Finn was excited and anxious. He publicized the news of the statue's inauguration ceremony so extensively and announced that food and daily necessities would be distributed free of charge to civilians after the ceremony. In addition to wanting to do good deeds, he also hoped to meet Ning Fei. Now that Ning Fei had actually come, Prince Finn immediately commanded everyone: "Today, no, from now on, all the donations from the church are the grace bestowed by Lord Ning Fei. We must respect him, look up to him, and pay respect to him!"
As he spoke, the prince knelt on one knee in the direction of Ning Fei and performed the noble salute. Upon seeing this, the servants and guards beside him immediately shouted at the common people to kneel down in front of Ning Fei, otherwise they would not be able to receive the supplies that would be distributed later. No one had ever been hit by light magic, so they didn't understand what Prince Finn was doing. But because it was about getting things, and the soldiers looked so fierce, a large number of them knelt down all of a sudden.
The common people in this world don't have much dignity to speak of.
"Hold!"
Ning Fei was suddenly speechless when faced with such a scene. It's not like he had never experienced being worshipped by a bunch of people, but he was not interested in it at all. He even hated it in his native world - after all, it represented the authority of the powerful - otherwise how could he have always controlled the scope of implementation of light magic?
At this moment, Ning Fei just turned away and didn't want to look at this kind of scene that would make others swell. He grabbed the other black ball from Duan Yunhong's hand and said irritably, "Hurry up and determine the power of these two things of yours. Where should you aim to explode?"
"...I'm not sure about the stone. But put the big one under the hand and the small one in front of the face. At least the hand and face can be destroyed. If these two parts are removed, the symbolic part of the statue will be gone." Duan Yunhong was also shocked by Prince Finn's move. He took out a fire starter, paused, and confirmed: "You don't mind, right?"
"What the hell is taboo?" Ning Fei raised his hand and said, "Light the fire."
Duan Yunhong's hands were very steady and he could hit the target with just one touch.
Ning Fei didn't need him to urge him anymore, and immediately used the wind to send two black balls flying towards the statue. The people kneeling on the ground watched two small black objects fly over their heads, and Prince Finn also stared blankly at the two black balls flying towards the statue. For a few seconds, he thought that it was something Ning Fei wanted to give him, and even subconsciously raised his hand to take it.
The black ball quickly reached the designated explosion point, 1 second, 2 seconds——
Bang! Bang! ! !
The almost overlapping explosions deafened the prince for a few seconds, and the crowd, which was already kneeling, subconsciously curled up, screaming and covering their heads to avoid them. At the moment of the explosion, strong winds blew up again, and the fragments of the exploded statue did not have time to fall down before they were carried up into the air by the wind.
The statue, which had only been revealed for a few minutes, was blown into ruins.
The effect of the explosion was more powerful than Duan Yunhong had expected. The sculpture's chest was blown directly upwards, and the entire part from the head to the chest was completely blown apart. The front of the triangle was also severely damaged. Not only the outstretched hand, but also the robe underneath and even part of the base were blown down. The entire statue did not collapse, which can only be attributed to the fact that this abstract triangular composition is so stable.
Prince Finn was stunned by this turn of events. He hoped that Ning Fei would show up on the day the statue was completed, but he never expected that Ning Fei would come, but to blow up his own statue!
——I made a mistake.
This realization hit him in the head, and he almost felt dizzy as he realized he had made a huge mistake.
"Master Ning Fei...!"
He wanted to walk towards Ning Fei, but the wind was howling and he couldn't get close to the roof no matter what.
He saw Ning Fei holding a piece of statue fragment, which was delivered to him by Feng.
"Is this... today's date?" Ning Fei just glanced at the large piece of paper and saw that there seemed to be words on it, so he turned over to take a look. Duan Yunhong took a quick look and said confidently, "This is a new church. The date when the statue is completed will definitely become the church's anniversary."
Ning Fei threw it away like trash: "It's like he re-set a birthday for me. Is this to commemorate me? He is just materializing the image in his mind. The appearance, birthday, and symbolic meaning have nothing to do with me."
Duan Yunhong: "So when is your birthday?"
"..." Ning Fei raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "You are quite good at taking advantage of opportunities."
"You said before that you used different days in each world, so you didn't want to tell me." Duan Yunhong said, "But now it's the Origin World, so according to the calendar of this world, what's your birthday?"
"November 11th." Ning Fei snorted and threw the fragments into the wind, which swept away into the distance. "What do you think? I am destined to die alone."
Duan Yunhong also laughed: "Then I can tell fortunes, and I say, it's not accurate."
***
Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong were exposed to the public like this. Although they later ran away, the news would soon spread throughout the city. These two people did not dress in different clothes when they went out today. They looked the same when they left the casino, in the square, and when they came back. Obviously, the casino will soon be unbearable.
Duan Yunhong asked if he wanted to pack his luggage on his way back, and Ning Fei said, "I won't pack it, but if you want, then go ahead."
Duan Yunhong realized his true intention and confirmed, "Are you leaving?"
"Yeah." Ning Fei responded, "If Finn continues with this stupid behavior, my name will be spread even more widely, and my luck points will be deducted by him. Cut the loss in time and leave."
Duan Yunhong asked again: "Where are you going next?"
"Go to work, or you'll be starving. If I take a vacation like this, I'll have wasted so many worlds." Ning Fei said self-deprecatingly, "'It's all my fault'. This is such a good excuse that never changes."
Duan Yunhong accepted it calmly and suggested, "Then let's have dinner together? It's time anyway."
"...Okay." Ning Fei agreed first, then looked at him a little puzzled, "I thought you would ask me if I wanted to visit your native world."
"It's useless to ask, isn't it?" Duan Yunhong replied calmly, "I came here and unexpectedly ran into you here too, which was a pleasant surprise. If you still want to calm down and think about it, then it's up to you."
Ning Fei was suspicious: "Why did you suddenly become so open-minded? Do you have some backup plan waiting for me?"
"What else can I do?" Duan Yunhong lowered his eyes and smiled. "You have my personal positioning in your hands, my native world coordinates in your hands, and my resume in your hands. What else can I be honest with you about?"
Ning Fei: “…Tsk.”
I have to say, it's obvious that he's pretending to be pitiful and aggrieved, and his methods are old-fashioned.
But it really works.
The main thing is that people like Duan Yunhong suddenly say such words that show weakness. Even if Ning Fei knows his little tricks, it is inevitable that ripples will arise in his heart.
"Stop pretending." Ning Fei covered his mouth with her backhand, "Haven't I made enough concessions? People are always greedy, Mr. Duan."
"Let me say one last thing." Duan Yunhong grabbed his wrist and pulled his hand away. "What I said about if you come to me while I'm having fun with others, I'll give you luck and let you chase me. It's still valid."
"I will kill you even without your promise." Ning Fei glanced at the man's hand holding hers, "Are you done? Can we eat now?"
"Eat, eat." Duan Yunhong said, "I don't know when I will have dinner with you next time. I hope it will be on your birthday."
"Make a wish to me? I'm not a wish-making machine..."
The two then turned to chatting and had lunch together in the casino restaurant. Although it was the last meal in this world, the food was not very sumptuous. It was just like an ordinary meal, the two of them sitting together in an ordinary way, chatting about ordinary things. There was no worry about "whether the crowd will come to the casino", nor was there any regret and farewell about leaving and parting, as if they would still be together in the afternoon, evening, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...
It was a simple meal that ended quickly.
It was Ning Fei who said he wanted to leave, but he was also the one who hesitated about how to act at the last minute. When Ning Fei looked up at Duan Yunhong, he always felt that he should say something, but he couldn't.
——Tsk, just lift your feet and walk away, what are you hesitating about.
Thinking of this, Ning Fei stood up quickly, turned around and walked towards the restaurant door: "I'll go out from the room."
It is a common practice for management staff to try not to disappear suddenly in crowded places.
"I'll go with you, it's on our way." Duan Yunhong seemed to see Ning Fei's dilemma, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he followed him calmly and naturally. Ning Fei felt inexplicably angry when she saw his nonchalant and easygoing look, so she raised her elbow and hit him when he approached.
"..."Duan Yunhong touched the place where he was hit and actually smiled.
——Are you upset? It’s good to be annoyed, but I’m afraid that you don’t even feel annoyed.
Duan Yunhong was still looking so handsome when a short man wearing a hat walked quickly towards him. It was not surprising that the gambler was in a hurry, but when this man was about to pass by Ning Fei, he suddenly turned around and grabbed Ning Fei!
"Why don't you kill Prince Finn...!"
As soon as the man spoke and looked up, Duan Yunhong recognized him at a glance - it was Ning Fei's previous servant Sha Lai!
Shalai's hand, which was tightly grasping Ning Fei's collar, had marks of burns on it. She stared, no, glared at Ning Fei, her voice low and angry: "You killed the Duke, you killed the Pope, why don't you kill the Prince or the King? You don't dare to kill, you can't kill, right? You...?!"
Duan Yunhong pinched Sha Lai's hand and threw her away without caring whether she was injured or not.
He knew Ning Fei was too lazy to explain, so he didn't say anything more and just said coldly: "It's very easy to kill you."
Shalai was hurt by the fall, but he quickly managed to get up and glared at Ning Fei behind Duan Yunhong: "You really have gone along with them! That prince even built a statue for you, just because you let him go, right? It was a waste of so many of our sacrifices just to write Prince Finn's name on it. You know, Kai thought he could finally avenge his family until the last second before his death!
"But he will never know that he was burned to death in such agony, only for Prince Finn to pretend to be a good man and erect a statue for you! You are his only hope for revenge. He and other people who hate the prince paid the price of their lives for this...!"
"If you really think you are right, why not speak louder?"
Duan Yunhong suddenly interrupted with a cold voice, leaving Sha Lai stunned for a moment: "...What?"
Duan Yunhong sneered: "If you really think you are right, don't lower your voice. Make a noise, make it louder, so that others can hear you..."
"You want to kill him, isn't he right there in the square?"
Ning Fei pressed Duan Yunhong's shoulder and stood beside him: "He was standing there today, taller than everyone else, and the soldiers didn't stop civilians from going to the square. Why, you can see me but not him? You are willing to die just to write a name, but you are afraid to die when you have to kill him with your own hands?"
"You...!" Shalai thought what he said was ridiculous, and for a moment he couldn't find any words to refute, "How could we..."
"'How is it possible', snort." Ning Fei snorted and laughed, without further comment, turned around and continued walking forward. After taking two steps, he turned his head and glanced at Duan Yunhong: "Are you still not leaving? Do you want to stay for class?"
Of course Duan Yunhong turned around and followed, but before leaving, he took one last glance at Shalai.
"Wait for others to avenge you, wait until you die."
…
The two returned to the room in silence without discussing the incident that had just occurred on the way.
It was not until Ning Fei took out the brooch Duan Yunhong had given him from the small wooden box that the man stepped forward, took the brooch and helped him pin it on his chest: "…If you really lose too much luck, you can come and borrow it from me."
"Fuck." Ning Fei was waiting for him to make the final statement, but he actually laughed when he heard this. "I'm just a debt collector, how can I not know how terrible the luck loan shark is? Or how about the luck bandit loan shark? Am I such a fool?"
"Very good, keep your shrewdness. You don't owe anyone anything." Duan Yunhong couldn't help but pinch his chin, "...Remember to think of me when you have time."
Ning Fei fought back: "What, you want to break up and have sex? Didn't we have sex last night?"
"'Part' is not 'break up'. We haven't even met the prerequisites. There's not even a stroke above the word 'break up'. How can you say break up?" Duan Yunhong replied, "No more, otherwise I might do something to make you angry."
Ning Fei looked at him: "Well, goodbye?"
"Goodbye." Duan Yunhong restrained himself and slowly withdrew his hand, "You..."
Ning Fei leaned forward and kissed him, no, bit his lips very hard, so hard that Duan Yunhong felt as if his mouth was about to bleed.
Ning Fei smiled: "Don't wait until you die."
As the words fell, the figure disappeared.
Duan Yunhong stood there in silence for a few seconds, then touched his mouth and made a "hiss" sound. But he was a little happy in the pain.
"I will wait."
