Chapter 3 Common Line (03) "I went to see it with Yingxing..."
After Teng Xiao finished cleaning his assigned area, he went to the first floor to meet up and found that two people were still missing.
"What about He Yuan? Isn't he the fastest?" Teng Xiao asked.
Jing Yuan sighed silently, "He ran away with Ying Xing."
Danfeng remained silent, his gaze towards Jiyun turning cold.
This is the weapon that Yingxing made for him.
Teng Xiao: "...Haha, I see."
He looked at Bai Heng.
Bai Heng shrugged. "Alright, alright, hurry up and finish your work. Everyone go home and find the people you're looking for."
Jingliu nodded in agreement.
The matter was resolved fairly smoothly.
The trespasser was not found, but fortunately there were no casualties, and the escaped prisoners did not escape either. Everything seemed as if the intrusion had not occurred.
“But… Hu Lei is dead,” Teng Xiao said gravely. “According to the agreement made when Hu Lei was captured, every hundred years, each immortal ship must send someone to check.”
Now that it's gone, the other immortal ships have saved themselves the trouble of traveling and have lost a major threat, but the Luofu Immortal Ship will definitely be labeled as incompetent.
Meanwhile, the Prison of Confinement will also undergo a reshuffle and upgrade, causing turmoil in many places.
This is something Teng Xiao doesn't want to see.
His days were numbered, and he only wished to pass on his position peacefully to the next person.
But the unstable factors are still too young, and no one can control them.
Bai Heng: "Hu Lei has multiple burn marks from lightning strikes on his body. At the same time, his head and the extremely important [Crimson Moon] heart are missing, as are some of his hard and sharp parts."
Teng Xiao twitched his eyebrows: "It seems that this murderer has thoroughly exposed Hu Lei."
That's very much like someone's style.
He looked at Bai Heng: "Don't spread this matter for now, lest it cause panic among the fox people."
"In addition, preserve Hu Lei's body well. I will take it to Xuling to give the marshal an explanation."
Jing Liu was about to say something when Teng Xiao stopped him, saying, "Only I can do this."
After making arrangements for everyone, Teng Xiao left Jing Yuan behind and sighed deeply.
“Jingyuan, I’m leaving Heyuan to you,” he said seriously. “If a sharp blade is pointed at the enemy but also at yourself, remember to prepare in advance.”
Although, based on Teng Xiao's experience, He Yuan should not point her blade at the Luofu Immortal Ship.
He's quite good at judging people.
Over the years, He Yuan has done many earth-shattering and lawless things, but in the end, they have all benefited Luofu Immortal Ship and even the entire Immortal Ship Alliance.
One or two times is a coincidence, but multiple times is not.
Teng Xiao also inquired with the Grand Diviner, and the current Grand Diviner only gave him a "very auspicious" result.
If even a thorough inspection of the formation shows no problems, then we can basically rest assured.
Teng Xiao said this to Jing Yuan because he hoped his successor wouldn't spoil him too much.
—In recent years, he has had more heart attacks, but his lifespan has inexplicably increased.
The physicians at the Dan Ding Si found this unbelievable.
"..." Jing Yuan said with his head down, "Okay."
He walked home with heavy steps, and a pebble hit his feet.
A young man with short black hair sat on the wall, swinging his legs, and looked at him with a smile.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Jing Yuan asked in a dry, almost hoarse voice.
He knew that He Yuan was always lawless and no one could control her, but he never expected it to escalate to this extent.
The young man tilted his head and tossed a small package to Jing Yuan.
Inside were still wriggling, bright red chunks of meat.
——【★★★★★ Item·[Crimson Moon] Heart: The Bu Liren who becomes the leader of the warriors must swallow this item to drive their tribesmen and fox-people into a berserk state (Moon Madness).】
—Equipment effect: Increases critical hit effect by 50%; can bewitch fox people and Bu Liren (Moon Madness).
"I blew up the Crimson Moon completely, wasn't that amazing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the pulsating chunk of flesh went silent, turning into a pool of blood that was absorbed by the thick cloth.
He Yuan snapped his fingers, and the strip of cloth flew from Jing Yuan's hand, burning to ashes in the air.
"Why did you do this?" Jing Yuan's voice was calm, like the surface of a lake with turbulent undercurrents.
"Why……?"
He replied, "There's no reason why."
"To be honest, haven't you always been worried about this, worried that they'll come back one day?"
Now that he has killed the leader, they will have to elect a new leader, and they will lose the [Crimson Moon] who can control the berserk state. Isn't that a good thing?
For at least fifty years, they will be unable to unite as one to attack.
He Yuan didn't think that much about it; he just wanted to explore and collect items.
The five-star item is unlocked in the encyclopedia the moment it enters the backpack; how to use it is entirely up to him.
He doesn't lack the 50% critical hit effect, and he has no interest in Berserk Stepman.
—If he were better looking, he might have kept him. But he's so unattractive, so let's just destroy him.
Moreover, Bu Liren values strength above all else. If He Yuan could kill Hu Lei, why would she worry about not being able to subdue Bu Liren?
They'll all be sent to farm, so they won't be allowed to pollute his eyes!
Of course, the most important reason is—
Jingyuan looks like he's about to cry; I'd better think of a reason to comfort him quickly.
The sad kitten was so heartbroken that even its fluffy white fur had become dull, something He Yuan didn't want to see.
The young man jumped down from the wall, moved lightly, and walked up to Jing Yuan.
"Are you sad because I didn't invite you?"
A delicate face drew closer, filling Jingyuan's eyes.
As far as the eye could see, all that remained was a vast expanse of blue-purple.
"Then I'll definitely choose you next time, okay?"
...Let's just immerse ourselves in it.
The overly dangerous thought made Jingyuan reconsider.
"If you have a solution, you can report it to the general, and then let the marshal decide..."
"That's too slow."
The young man interrupted him, saying, "As long as it exists, there will be one more variable."
"Do you want to see Sister Baiheng fall into [Moon Madness]?" He Yuan asked.
Even in the Dark Prison, Hu Lei wasn't safe. The thought of someone coming to nag him every now and then annoyed He Yuan.
Wouldn't it be better to end it all at once?
Jing Yuan spoke with difficulty: "He Yuan, could you please inform us before doing these things next time?"
He knew his childhood sweetheart's personality all too well.
Once you've decided to do something, no one can stop you.
What's even more terrifying is that no one can stop him.
—As long as it doesn't aim at the Immortal Ship, or even just Luofu.
Jing Yuan thought.
The young man took a few more steps closer, his black hair brushing against Jingyuan's nose.
"Sure."
He leaned in so close that Jing Yuan could hear his soft laughter, see every inch of his skin and the strands of his flowing hair, and smell his rich fragrance.
"Since the future General Jingyuan has said so, I must agree."
That's enough.
Jingyuan composed himself and asked, "What did you and Yingxing go about?"
The topic jumped so quickly that He Yuan was momentarily stunned.
Jingyuan smiled.
"Of course, it's to do things... things that adults can do." The young man's words were vague.
He simply took Yingxing to a corner of the Bureau of Works to look at the stars and stuffed a few extra forging materials into his bag.
Stargazing and giving gifts—how can these not be things adults can do?
This time, Jing Yuan was stunned.
He opened his mouth, then asked hesitantly, "So fast?"
He Yuan blinked innocently, "Of course it's faster to see the stars."
A casual chat won't take much time.
Jing Yuan remained silent.
He Yuan curiously reached out and touched the corner of his eye.
"Jingyuan, you're crying~"
"Get out of my way."
The future Shence General, who was not yet fully grown, looked embarrassed and annoyed.
"If you tell me to leave, I'll just leave. Wouldn't that make me lose face?" He Yuan followed Jing Yuan's footsteps, clinging to him all the way into the room. "I'm not leaving tonight!"
He found his pajamas with practiced ease and went into the bathroom without any hesitation.
Jing Yuan: "..."
He wanted to sigh, but didn't know why.
Is it because they've been seemingly close for fifteen years, yet he's never truly entered his childhood friend's heart, or is it because... his childhood friend is overly close to others?
The frosted glass door of the bathroom was damp with moisture, vaguely revealing the graceful figure inside.
Jing Yuan rubbed his forehead and sent a message to Teng Xiao.
[Jingyuan]: The Crimson Moon has been destroyed.
[Tengxiao]: Received.
Although He Yuan was a smooth talker, she also did a lot of outrageous and lawless things.
But he wouldn't lie.
If it's gone, then it's gone.
He carefully chose his words, then sent another message: [Furthermore, he harbors no ill will towards Luofu.]
[Jingyuan]: Hulei is a hidden danger; he feels that death is the most secure thing.
[Teng Xiao]: ...
[Teng Xiao]: Whatever, I'm not the one who will have a heart attack in the future anyway.
Jingyuan turned off the jade mirror and leaned against the headboard, lost in thought.
A heart attack isn't a problem.
The key point is that the small Luofu Mountain cannot satisfy He Yuan.
Jingyuan had always known that his childhood sweetheart liked novel and exciting things.
If a place doesn't offer anything of interest to He Yuan, he won't set foot there a second time.
Just like when they were kids, Jing Yuan covered for He Yuan so that he could explore the Lin Yuan Mirror.
It was during that time that they met Danfeng.
But what happened next?
He Yuan almost never sets foot in Lin Yuan Mirror again; every time, it's Dan Feng who comes out to find someone.
Novel places are like this, and novel people are like this too.
Aside from the initial positive meetings, nothing else came of it; sometimes when I tried to contact someone, they would avoid me.
A drop of water fell on Jingyuan's forehead, interrupting his thoughts.
He Yuan came out with wet hair, her pajamas soaked with water, only two buttons fastened, revealing most of her fair chest.
Jing Yuan glanced up, then looked away. "The hairdryer is still in the same old place."
He Yuan didn't move, but instead leaned closer, "Will you blow it for me?"
Under the hazy moonlight, there seemed to be a different kind of emotion in the iris-colored eyes.
The familiar scent of shower gel wafted over He Yuan, creating a ripple of emotion.
Jing Yuan pushed He Yuan's face away and said stiffly, "I need to wash up too. You can blow-dry yourself."
He Yuan nuzzled Jing Yuan's hand, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, "Are you really not going to help me?"
Will anyone actually refuse?
Jing Yuan silently agreed and took out a hair dryer from the drawer.
As he had done many times before, he helped Heyuan dry her hair.
Calloused knuckles pressed against the scalp, occasionally brushing against the reddened base of the ears. The delicate, fair nape of the neck was fully exposed, and the air gradually warmed.
Fortunately, the hairdryer was very powerful, and He Yuan's hair wasn't long, so it only took a few minutes.
But in just a few minutes, a subtle fragrance filled the room.
He Yuan raised her head and looked at Jing Yuan.
Perhaps the hairdryer was too hot, because the young man's exposed skin was tinged with pink, as if blood was surging up from beneath his thin skin.
Jingyuan kept his eyes straight ahead and put the hair dryer away.
He Yuan smiled as she watched his retreating figure, then confidently lay down on Jing Yuan's bed.
His body sank deep into Jingyuan's bedding, the fragrance of his shower gel mingling with the scent, as he turned his head to look at the guards still clad in armor.
His forearm hung down over the edge of the bed, his fingers hooked. His short, slightly long black hair covered half of his face, and the remaining half of his eyebrows and eyes, like his fingers, stared straight in Jing Yuan's direction.
Jing Yuan avoided his gaze, hurriedly removed his armor, and went into the bathroom.
He Yuan chuckled softly.
He rolled around on Jingyuan's bed and then burrowed under the covers first.
There are always two quilts and two pillows on this bed, and the same is true for He Yuan's room.
For the first fifteen years of the game, he and Jingyuan grew up together and often stayed at each other's houses for one night.
Tonight should have been just like any other night.
"I want to get married."
When Jingyuan came out of the bathroom, Heyuan said this to him.
"Don't even think about it, you're not old enough yet."
According to the official regulations of Luofu Immortal Boat, regardless of gender, one can only get married after reaching the age of 21 and reaching adulthood.
Jing Yuan reminded He Yuan that he was not old enough, then turned off the light and went to bed.
He Yuan didn't care: "It's only a year. I can find someone to date first."
He turned to look at Jing Yuan lying beside him and asked, "By the way, I have a date with someone tomorrow, and Ying Xing will be coming too. Do you want to come along?"
The person next to me caught their breath, and after a slow exhale, said, "You mean... Yingxing and I are going to watch your date?"
What's going on? Doesn't Yingxing like Heyuan? Why would he agree to this request?
...He wanted to agree too.
Or rather, he wanted to cause trouble.
Those worthy of the crane and the kite in this world cannot be unknown.
I understand Ying Xing Ge a little better now.
He Yuan didn't seem to think it was a big deal. "Yeah, it's just a date. I haven't decided whether I want to talk to him about it yet."
It's definitely not going to work out.
In the darkness, Jing Yuan's eyes sharpened. "Why don't we ask Brother Danfeng?"
He Yuan agreed with his suggestion, "That makes sense, I'll leave him a message."
The message had barely been sent when Danfeng replied: [Okay.]
A note from the author:
----------------------
Twenty years have passed in the game's timeline, and most people already know who the protagonist is...
Those who were meant to be moved have been moved.
To avoid any controversy, let me state upfront that this matter will not have any negative impact.
