120 A Feast of a Hundred Mysteries (14)
Hey Xie! Long time no see!
Thanks to the saying "a bad pen is worse than a good memory," Xi Ya wrote down all of her and Qin Fu'an's deductions in her notebook and quickly came up with the most suitable way to act at the moment.
The objective is clear: destroy the fake rose root system, lure out Lamb and the crow, and then get the chance to make a wish to Lamb.
So the most important question now is: "How do we determine where the roots of the fake rose are?"
"We have to wait." Qin Fu'an led her outside, getting further and further away from the actual rose roots.
Xi Ya didn't quite understand.
She followed behind Qin Fu'an, watching his indistinct figure in the darkness, and suddenly felt that the person in front of her was particularly mysterious.
He seemed to know everything. Although Xi Ya did most of the talking, a closer look at the process revealed that Qin Fu'an was actually guiding her thoughts all along, like a ray of light slowly walking in the darkness, with Xi Ya following behind with peace of mind.
Xi Ya suddenly thought Qin Fu'an was very handsome.
It's not about physical good looks, nor does it have anything to do with temperament.
She was an ultimate looks-obsessed person, but at this moment she felt that even if Qin Fu'an's face was ugly after removing his mask, it would never be unacceptable to Xi Ya.
His presence truly brings a sense of peace of mind.
Even though she was currently in a vicious and dangerous dungeon with multiple crises overlapping, and even though she might be one step away from becoming a monster if she couldn't get through this dungeon, Xi Ya was not as panicked as she had expected.
The person in front of you will have a solution.
She inexplicably believed this.
This feeling, which should have been the confidence the captain gave to his teammates, now seems to have been reversed.
Thinking of this, Xi Ya couldn't help but clench her fist and wave it forcefully at Qin Fu'an's back in front of her.
It's okay! Duck will work hard to grow!
Since such a capable person believes that Duck can be his captain, then Duck must have enormous potential that he hasn't even discovered yet. Believe in yourself, Duck will become just as capable and reliable one day!!
Xi Ya never easily denies herself; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to live and grow up in a dead land where yin energy gathers, and earn so much merit for herself.
She got to where she is today not because of luck, but because of her stubbornness in never giving up and her tenacity to do her best when she sets her mind on something.
As the two walked around the garden, Xiya was wondering where to wait when she noticed that the person walking ahead of her suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xi Ya reflexively summoned the corpses to surround the two of them.
Then, following Qin Fu'an's gaze, they also looked up.
Another person walked towards them.
Logically speaking, those who come to us on their own are usually either seeking cooperation or are unlikely to launch an open attack.
But as the other party got closer, Xi Ya's nerves, which were designed to deal with the crisis, became increasingly tense. She even couldn't help but take a step back. After realizing what was happening, she immediately ordered the corpses to assume an attack stance.
Yu Guang couldn't help but observe Qin Fu'an's reaction.
The reason Xi Ya didn't attack immediately was because Qin Fu'an remained standing still.
So she stood beside Qin Fu'an, every cell in her body screaming for danger, but she forced herself to restrain herself, watching helplessly as the ordinary-looking but handsome young man drew closer and closer.
"Hello, may I travel with you?" The young man looked at Qin Fu'an and gave a polite smile.
Strangely enough, Xi Ya felt like her "face-value radar" was malfunctioning, and she actually found the boy in front of her to be very handsome when he smiled.
But upon closer inspection... this face is really not outstanding at all.
"My name is Xie Yunhuai." The boy told the boy his name, and it didn't sound like he was lying.
Xi Ya looked at him, then turned her head to look at Qin Fu'an, whose eyes were deep, and scratched her head, feeling like she was an outsider.
The duck was puzzled.
He was called out the next second.
"Captain?" Qin Fu'an turned his head to look at her, asking with his eyes.
Xi Ya snapped out of her strange illusion. Although she still felt a sense of danger as she looked at the boy, she thought for a moment and nodded to him.
“We can team up temporarily,” Xi Ya said earnestly. “My name is Xi Ya, and his name is Qin Fu’an. If you want to team up with us, how about you take charge of the guard duty?”
Actually, Xi Ya hadn't figured out why she should suddenly accept a newcomer, but based on that dangerous intuition, she felt that she couldn't really let this boy act on his own in the darkness she couldn't see.
What if he fails to form a team and is turned against them, becoming their enemy?
It's not worth the risk.
"Okay." Xie Yunhuai nodded, having no objection to her arrangement.
Seeing this, Xi Ya breathed a silent sigh of relief. Although her temporary teammate had a dangerous aura, he seemed to be easy to communicate with.
And so, the temporary funeral trio was formed in an ordinary and uneventful way.
"Captain Xi, can I know what the next mission is?" Xie Yunhuai stood on the other side of Qin Fu'an, communicating with Xi Ya across Qin Fu'an.
Before answering, Xi Ya glanced at the live stream chat and found it filled with strange punctuation marks or gibberish. She frowned, thinking that something had happened to other players and the viewers were trying to tip them off but were banned by the system.
Without thinking too much, she turned to Xie Yunhuai and said, "We need to find the roots of the rose now. After we remove the rose roots, we can ask Lanbai for a chance to make a wish."
As she finished speaking, Xi Ya noticed that the chat in her live stream seemed to have become even more chaotic.
"Rose roots?" Xie Yunhuai tilted his head and said softly, "I think I know where it is."
Xi Ya immediately stopped paying attention to the messy comments, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stared intently at Xie Yunhuai, asking, "Really?! You really know where it is? But why didn't you clear it out and instead told us this? Is there some danger over there?"
Caught between the two, Qin Fu'an couldn't help but suppress the corners of his lips that were turning upwards.
Very good. It seems that the squad leader was not overwhelmed by the sudden surprise and still maintained basic judgment and vigilance.
Qin Fu'an and Xi Ya turned to look at Xie Yunhuai together.
A faint smile played in her light green eyes as she gazed gently at the boy whose features looked strangely familiar in the darkness.
[Ahhhhh, Xie! Long time no see!!!]
[Waaaaah, we finally meet again, Xiao Xie! Although the little clouds behind her are all very well-behaved, easy to fool, and pretty, the best image of the little clouds in my heart will always be Xiao Xie!!]
[No wonder he secretly slipped the mask to Little Rose earlier; it turns out the streamer had already seduced her into human form to play with him!]
[Others' bizarre games: thrilling and dangerous, with the constant threat of death; the streamer's bizarre games: effortless and even with time for romantic role-playing with Xiaoyunduo.]
[The streamer must be secretly gloating, right? He couldn't suppress the smile on his face; it hurt my eyes, I'm reporting him!]
Xie Yunhuai couldn't see the comments; he only saw Qin Fu'an's beautiful eyes, which were gently curved.
It was so beautiful. Being gazed at by such eyes always made his heart flutter, and the outstretched branches would secretly curl up in the darkness.
That's really too much...
With eyes like those, and a person like that, I really want to embrace him tightly and never be apart.
[Author's Note]
Anzai: Can coaxing your wife out to play be called seduction?
Duck: Refuse to belittle yourself, strive to become stronger!
Yunzai: Eyes, beautiful, I want to dig them out.
Ugh, are you all on holiday yet? But I'm working every day and still haven't gotten paid! I'm so upset...
