Chapter 48
It was night time, and Chongyu in the amusement park felt his pocket vibrate twice and took out his cell phone.
[The 15th episode of the work you are following, "The Incomplete One", has been released! ]
Being a freelancer makes traveling more convenient, so Chongyu is not so eager about the activities. She finds a place to sit down and reads the updates first.
This time the cover page is of Elly Ratna. The pink-haired young woman is wearing a semi-transparent black veil that covers her shoulders, with a vaguely stereotyped friendly smile on her face. She is still so beautiful, but here her expression and sitting posture are like a suspended porcelain doll with loose joints.
The wide dress she was wearing was quite in line with the style of a Western doll. The hem of the dress had lots of undulating pleats to set off her waist, and the diamond necklace on her neck still had a flowing and sparkling texture even through the black gauze.
The warm white light completely illuminates her display piece like a window light, but only if you look closely can you see a "knight" standing in the shadow behind her.
The man's specific appearance was hidden by the contrast between light and dark. The unclear silhouette was tall and thin, and his face was completely immersed in the darkness as if hidden behind a light. The hair draped over his shoulders seemed to be black, and the ends of the hair were hazy white, making it difficult to distinguish.
Only one left hand crossed the boundary between light and darkness and seemed to gently and gentlemanly rest on the back of the chair that Elliott was leaning on, which looked like an exquisite dollhouse accessory.
The hand was long and beautiful, but under the palm was a long, sharp dagger, with the thin blade extending gracefully and smoothly toward the edge of the title page.
This action makes it hard to tell whether it is intended to protect a beautiful princess or to prepare to assassinate a leading actor in a puppet circus.
While Chongyu was observing the details, bullet points gradually appeared on this page.
[Wow, so tense, little wolf cub, reflect on why you are so compatible with a bad woman]
【Where are the little wolf cubs? 】
[In the background, didn't you notice there was someone behind it? ]
[Little wolf cub, this is my dream lover! 】
[So why do we say this is Xiaoman? Isn’t the one with white hair Sumei?]
[The little fox has much longer hair. He doesn't need a weapon to kill someone.]
[That makes sense. So the way the hair is painted is to express the same purpose.]
[I think so too. And the pink-haired girl is so pretty. She is very suitable for this style.]
Before the main story of this episode begins, there is a scene where Xiaoman keeps his word and announces his resignation on stage.
The whole process of the unwilling Lion youth chasing Xiaoman and asking for a competition also appeared in the comic, but no reader thought that he had a chance of success.
Because he talked a lot, but in the end, he only got one sentence:
"I don't have any idea about the championship. --And neither do you."
[It’s a complete kill hahaha]
[So I completely understand this kind of obvious thoughts, I’m just not good at discovering the truth from the details]
Readers were not very interested in this kind of passerby who only looked decent. With the appearance of Bernaludos and the emergence of the keyword "Siren scales", readers, like Xiaoman, completely forgot about the lion youth.
When the Dragon King said, "Because there is no sea in this world now," the scene turned elsewhere and finally began a flashback.
The vast expanse of blue, glittering with waves, had just spread out, but in the next frame it turned into a vast expanse of white, and in the next frame it was dyed with a terrifying crimson, and finally fell into a darkness of nothingness.
A young Siren was stranded while escaping and died because his abdomen hit the tip of a near-shore reef hard. The hungry little beast could not drag the entire Siren, so it lay on the edge of the waterless rock and nibbled on the fish tail of his lower body.
Then, the little beast raised its head and ran away in fright at the sound, and "Lazarus" appeared here.
Deer antlers stand out between the dead leaf-colored hair, just like the appearance that readers have seen in the cover page, but this is a long-adult version. The deer caster who has not yet transformed into an undead lowers his still black eyes to look at this precious corpse, with a solemn expression. The corresponding frame is a close-up of Siren's new corpse.
When you see this face, the first thing you notice is the chapped, slightly open lips, the sharp white fangs sticking out from the lips, the eyes that are still open but still reveal a strange and beautiful face that is very similar to a human. The blue-green eyeballs are looking vacantly at the sky, and tiny dust particles have fallen on the surface, like algae floating on the surface of a lake.
Lazarus looked at him, at another kind of "beast race" that had suffered the catastrophe of the Great Destruction. He seemed to be wondering what was wrong with the world, or he seemed to be just thinking about how to make the most appropriate treatment for the materials he had obtained.
Or perhaps, because he was standing by the sea with nothing in sight, he was thinking about things that were more vague than the down-to-earth style of a spellcaster, such as his own inevitable death, or the relationship between life and death, the intimate twins.
[Fuck, my XP has moved, this Siren is so beautiful]
[People are free but I suggest you see a doctor...]
[Hey, isn't this similar to a beautiful corpse that has not decayed for thousands of years? Even better looking. I understand!]
[Wife, I miss you so much, wife]
After learning the origin of the scale in his hand, Xiaoman put it away, touched his forehead which was hit by the bullet, and followed Bernaludos.
In her sight, Bernardus, who was walking slowly, suddenly stopped and raised his hand to touch a sturdy but dying old tree beside the street.
Almost as soon as his fingertips left the spot where the bark was missing and the wood was exposed, spring came back to life.
By the time people discovered it and gathered together to exclaim and talk, the Dragon King had already left the place with his two cubs.
The reader can also see him briefly explaining to Xiaoman why he could do such a thing.
[Wow, I’m really jealous of this]
[No need to get the good stuff yourself, I just want lemons]
[The Dragon Clan is indeed the sons of the Star God]
As soon as I passed the restaurant door, the next frame showed a change of clothes and scene. The crowd was discussing the competition of the other five contestants. With the lively atmosphere that had been fully hyped, it was obviously another day.
Standing in the flower shop, Xiaoman looked at the large number of unfamiliar bouquets and potted plants on the shelf and answered the owner calmly: "I want to buy some flower seeds to bring to the teacher."
After all the training along the way and following Bernaludos, Xiaoman felt that he was already very good at spending money. He just told the merchants what he needed and waited for them to select and recommend the products when they were more familiar with them. If he was not satisfied with the products, he could just exchange them. So he became more stable and less disturbed when doing things.
[Tears, the little wolf cub still remembered to bring seeds for the teacher]
[Baby Lielie is playing with the puppy. He is so cute. He is dizzy and wants his mother to kiss him.]
[Bello, how could you flick my head!!! I’ve never flicked a wire before! (Loudly)]
[To be honest, every time I see my friend doing this, I miss brushed silk even more. It’s a kind of contrast effect…]
[Although these three are cute together, I do miss them. They need someone to take care of them. (]
Chongyu nodded as she watched. Her understanding was that from the perspective of the dragons, who had an exceptionally long lifespan, Xiaoman and Lielie were only a dozen years old, so of course they were small and stupid cubs. The treatment of cubs should be to let them out to play but still keep them within the range where they can be caught by a wing. The most important thing was to eat well. They could play a little to train their hunting skills, but they didn't need to fight too hard because they were cubs with parents.
So from this perspective, Bernardus's way of raising them is totally fine. He just put them in the range of his own puppies. They are so cute! Can I collect stamps of these three teaming up to go shopping and cosplay in my lifetime? I really need this!
Teacher Cun Cun Nian felt a touch of melancholy in her heart. She held her cell phone in one hand and twisted the hanging ornament underneath with the other, pinching the Q-version Dragon King peripherals that were strung on top like a well-heated butter biscuit.
The next page shows Bernaludos entering the store, followed by Eliretna's messenger.
[What a poor passerby. Did Belu bully him? He looks so scared.]
[My friend doesn't want to bully the little guys. Maybe he is just scaring himself?]
[But he came over with a serious look on his face to see what was going on ww]
[Friend: Watching a play, and not pretending]
[The little wolf cub’s mental activity is so cute, pfft, he even considered the possibility of being poisoned]
Later, she learned that the invitation letter was for Xiaoman to visit her garden, and the barrage of comments was much more emotional than Xiaoman herself.
[A dark and windy night... a lonely girl... isn't this a good thing? ]
[I knew that the pink-haired sister looked at Xiao Man with an impure look as soon as she appeared! ! ! ]
[I don't care, I just love to see beautiful women take the initiative, it's cool]
[What flower? Orange flower, right?]
[Is she going to attack Xiaoman? Urgent!]
"Should I go?" As the messenger rode away without a trace, Xiao Man turned his head and asked Bernardus.
"It's up to you." Although the Dragon King said this, he took them to the tailor shop next.
[Here I come! It’s time to change clothes! (Brace yourself)]
【Attention everyone! Prepare to take screenshots! 】
However, if Xiaoman likes to spend an entire afternoon trying on clothes and admiring them in the mirror, she would not be Xiaoman. She only changed into one outfit and left it at that. Fortunately, there were many clothes in the whole rack that appeared in the comics that gave a rough idea of the style. Chongyu thought that perhaps the artist teacher had already started to sketch with his creativity.
[The new clothes are so handsome, I like them, the blue and black are so cool! ! ! ]
[My friend is a bad guy, how can I tell the truth?
【Why can't you sell it? I'll buy it! 】
Next came the intense display segment. Unlike Xiaoman who made a low-key appearance, the comic gave several spaces for the boxer to show off in his new clothes.
But because her temperament suits her, she only looks very cute when she does this, and her silly and genuine smile makes many readers on the other side of the screen smile as well.
[Baby, you are a sweet-talking son-in-law that is unique to rural literature... All the aunts in the village love you the most...]
[The hunting mode is really dangerous, but it turns into a foolish one. I love this one! 】
[It can be seen that Bao likes the new clothes and is trying hard to look handsome. Praise! ]
The subsequent conversation between the three of them about how Lielie was going to take the clothes away made the tailors and the bullet screen laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt.
Lielie's face showed that she really believed the Dragon King's suggestion and thought she could put on all the clothes she couldn't take off and take them home. She was full of the courage to ignore the difficulties without thinking of the consequences.
[I laughed so hard. This is the first time I see Xiaoman so speechless. Hahahahahahaha]
[Call Lasi, your friend is fooling the children]
[Lions are sincere and good, dragons are mean and evil! ]
[Fuck, a college student who wore three T-shirts and two pairs of pajamas to go home because his suitcase couldn't fit was shot in the knee]
In fact, there are quite a few people who have had this experience, which makes Bernardus's proposal seem less wicked... No way. A rack of tailor-made clothes cannot be brought back in this way. He is just malicious.
Fortunately, he was not so bad as to let the cub do this. Lielie saw that the clothes were quickly packed, and he took the bag and thanked without any gloom, and for a moment he seemed like a well-behaved child.
"Wait, I said these will cost a lot of money, right?" she suddenly thought after walking out of the store.
[Liebao, your reflexes are hopeless...]
[Lielie is a good kid. He actually feels sorry for a dragon’s money.]
[Belu's expression: ? So what have you been thinking about for so long.jpg]
【I didn’t think about anything! (Answer immediately)】
The atmosphere is always so cheerful when Lielie is around, so although not many people would recommend her, it seems that passers-by have a high favorable impression of her. At least if peripheral products are released in the future, Chongyu will definitely buy hers.
"If she thinks so, why aren't you worried?"
On the next page, Bernardus asked Xiaoman.
"It will cost a lot of money, but it shouldn't be more than what the teacher gave you."
Xiaoman said.
“That’s true.”
"What he gave me is so valuable that it will benefit me for the rest of my life."
In the comic picture, a slight smile appeared on the face of the blond Dragon King. That handsome and almost sharp face was peaceful at least at this moment.
He looked at Xiaoman, seemingly neither lost nor melancholy, but with a touch of down-feather-like warm nostalgia passing through his heart.
【Friend——Brother——】
[Boy: It doesn’t sound like money, so what is it (worried)]
[This is your teacher’s final wish…]
[Apart from the method of eating, the sense of chivalry of keeping one's word is also very good]
[Yes, Lasi did not give any benefits, but Belu still tried his best to take care of the child.]
Her expression completely returned to normal, and Xiaoman was no longer tense like in the previous scene when she just received the invitation letter. She lowered her head to look at her cuffs, thinking that her motive for choosing this new dress was to conceal the bloodstains.
[The older generation was on the set of The Entrusted Ones while the younger generation was delivering Assassin and Killer, so I got a taste of martial arts in fantasy comics... is that ridiculous? ]
[Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, our protagonist started out as a white-haired, golden-eyed fox spirit.]
[…Fuck!]
The update ends here, Chong Yu's thoughts run wildly: So can my fanfiction have a martial arts or ancient costume setting? I can't help but want to see it. Wow, long hair and wide sleeves are suitable! Please, teachers, don't force me to kneel down and beg you when cooking! Okay, now I will jump to the shopping software and start looking for my fanfiction martial arts style clothes. I can't bear it anymore, I don't need to bear it anymore, go ahead——
Her friend who witnessed her whole transformation knew what she was thinking without even asking, and said inwardly: It's true that you can't hide your love for someone, and your instinctive reaction won't lie.
A friend poked Chongyu: "Nian Nian, do you want me to be your accessories?"
"Yes!!!" The old otaku who insisted on keeping fit was very surprised and happy. He was so happy that he lifted up his not-so-thin friend like a princess and spun her around before putting her down. He wanted to go back to his friend's workshop right away to watch her kneading the beautiful accessories that were unique to her "martial arts set".
"Oh, look, there are fireworks," said the friend. They hardly attracted the attention of other tourists because the fireworks show started in the amusement park at that moment.
With some deafening but extremely atmospheric popping sounds, brilliant fireworks exploded continuously across the entire night sky, dyeing the world with a dreamlike glow with ever-changing colors. It was so beautiful and grand.
Even if you feel disappointed after it ends, at least the joy of this moment is eternal and will not fade for a long, long time - maybe the characters in the comics also think so, so even if separation will always come, you can still smile when you are together. Chong Yu thought.
