Chapter 70
The update of the 21st chapter of the comic has arrived as scheduled.
The first person a reader sees when opening the cover is Xiaoman, but then he or she notices that she is not the only one on the screen.
Facing another world outside the screen, Xiaoman is wearing a cloak that looks similar to the one in Chen Xing, but the color is many times darker and the pattern is darker, like a copper stove and roasted tobacco cracked on dry ebony.
The awning concealed her clothing and hairstyle, so only her hands and face were visible. Xiaoman stretched out her hand as if she was pushing open a door, and her blue eyes were illuminated by the light in front of her.
In the gray and white that seemed to be both light and dark, three different shadows were dragged out from behind her, including three figures standing in the distance with their backs to her.
A little farm girl wearing a simple cloth skirt that matches the countryside perfectly, with soft furry rabbit ears hanging down the back of her head and a wreath of fresh flowers growing out of wild grass stems on her head.
The young bride, with her small round ears propping up her veil and narrow shoulders and slender figure, looks very cute in her tailor-made wedding dress. Her dark blue belt is embroidered with golden flowers, and she holds her hands dignifiedly in front of her.
A young female warrior who is tanned, running around with fists in both hands, wearing shorts and bare feet, with a colorful hand-woven sash through her messy and wild dark brown short hair, and the solid muscles in her legs, waist and arms are visible as they develop to their peak state.
...These figures vaguely represent three completely different lives. When put together with Xiaoman, whose occupation cannot be identified by his clothes, most people can relate to them.
[Sister Rabbit, Sister Antin, and Lielie, are they hinting at the life choices that the cub has made? (]
[People who have had interactions with her are also possibilities for her, absolutely]
[So why aren't there Princess-chan, Green-green-sister, and Pink-haired-sister? Isn't there Aunt Bishop either? ]
[There is no room for those old people on our vertical screen cover! ]
[The closed and stable civilian village, the prosperous and happy middle-class marriage, and the united and brave warrior tribe are three completely different living environments. It is difficult to distinguish between good and bad. Everyone will choose a different answer.]
[The kid didn’t look back, so she didn’t choose either option. She drew this for us to see (eyes shifted)]
Continuing from the content on the cover page, the 21st episode update begins with Antin’s wedding.
Whether to enter into such a stable relationship with someone is a personal choice, but at least the newlyweds who made this choice are truly in love with each other and have received the most sincere congratulations and love from their loved ones.
The atmosphere of happiness cannot be faked. The joy and happiness of a group of strangers are more likely to be contagious. Most of the comments on the screen are sincere blessings, and only after that do they start discussing.
[I like baby Rona! The little hyena that has not been domesticated is the super queen! ]
[The kid in the corner: appears shadily as if he is trying to steal someone's love, claps along with everyone else and then eats his meal]
[Ahhh, Xiaoman is acting out my mental state while having a meal! But his new clothes are so handsome, like a prince hshs]
[Oh, it’s this light-colored one! I’ve been thinking about it since I saw the edge of it! It smells really good.]
[Xiao Man, don't envy others for getting married, because today, your wife is here (one-click dress-up)! ]
[Hey, all of you stop, I was here first! (Picks up the bouquet and runs) (Pulls out a rose and holds it in his mouth)]
【? You guys? After it’s done, there will definitely be a photoshopped version of that meme, the groom being chased by a group of brides.jpg】
The barrage was full of laughter, and then Chen Xing appeared again.
Wearing a mask, he talked to Xiaoman about the taste of emotions in an increasingly mysterious way, and then said that his real purpose was to remind Xiaoman to leave.
【People’s hearts are full of different things...】
[Collecting people like Xiaoman? Do you mean disabled people?]
[Now that you mention it, I remember that it is definitely the fault of the boss! He wins people's hearts everywhere, and in order to prevent forced demolition, local governments have to prepare protection fees in advance... After all, he really demolished it.]
【God is buying people’s hearts! 】
[Nie Zong: I want your heart (physics)]
[Laughing... But Nie Zong is special to his kids, so his motives for doing this remain to be seen.]
As the conversation continued, Xiaoman suddenly realized something from the seemingly irrelevant topic, which made the readers express their confusion.
[Awakening from the Dust, a Mystery Teller Who Came Late]
[It is not just about distinguishing true from false, but also about giving innocent people who live in pain a chance to be happy? Waiting for the forum leaders to make their conclusions]
[Looking forward to the baby showing off his talent. It’s useless to hide it in the Flower City dungeon. I should use it after leaving the Art dungeon! ]
[Wuwuwu, how come I can eat the fresh little fox knife... This is how Xiaoman sees him! ]
Readers who were confused by the confusing dialogue continued to turn the pages and finally got through this part and saw what everyone liked.
"You don't want to die." Xiaoman withdrew his hand that was reaching for Chen Xing's throat and said to him.
“…Maybe.”
[Can I see this? (wipes saliva)]
[Awakening... My weak and vulnerable beautiful wife...]
[Although he is good at saving money and willing to share the burden with the Star God! But he still has the instinct to shrink back and fear death! So cute]
[Don’t mention it. After seeing so many ruthless people willing to die bravely in this place, waking up from the dust is quite unique.]
[The ruthless ones (Su Mei and her friends, Xiao Man himself, etc.)]
[So my wife is really a weak and helpless rabbit that has sneaked into the crazy group. Her characteristic is that she will die if touched or fall down if poked. Poor her.]
Yuan Qian did not intend to refute this, because in fact, under the condition of being guaranteed, he was seen as a good loser in the eyes of everyone, which was a good thing in itself and made people feel at ease. In fact, he deliberately portrayed Chen Xing in this way, so that he could have more opportunities to breathe without any image in the gaps between the exhausting performances... With Chen Xing's appearance, it was the closest to his true appearance.
Anyway, he now has an unprecedentedly large family and business, and he has two other people under him who can be pulled out to take charge of the work.
He turned the page and saw that the story did not immediately go on to the plot he had expected, "Neibobaling's Ivi City and the use of his own cardiopulmonary resuscitation method on the spirits of knowledge" or the appearance of No. 6, but there was an additional story that he didn't even know about.
After saying goodbye to An Ting and leaving the wedding, Xiao Man returned to his now empty and quiet home.
She sat quietly for a while, picked up the book on the table and started flipping through it. It was a book by Antin about various hand-woven laces. Xiaoman put it down after reading it for a while, and fell asleep on the table drowsily in the caress of the warm sunlight.
——This time, it came true.
——It was pitch black. There was almost no starlight, so it was a very strange night sky.
Comic readers are already familiar with this place, but Xiaoman has never seen it.
This empty darkness... is as cool as the wind in a cemetery, Xiaoman thought.
Suddenly, a soft black and purple object appeared in the screen and touched Xiaoman's palm.
Xiaoman turned around and saw the "second person" completely covered in the shadow.
This person seemed to know Xiaoman, so he didn't introduce himself to start the conversation. He just looked at Xingyuan and talked to himself:
"I plan to transform this place into a beautiful castle... named Thro."
Xiaoman was a little confused, but felt that the other person was strangely familiar, so she listened to him quietly.
"I'll make sure to fix it before you actually arrive. It's a second toy to please you."
"That's goodbye for now, Xiaoman. When will we meet again? I'm looking forward to it."
As Xiaoman said this, she felt the "ground" rise and she sank down.
The false feeling of weightlessness passed by and she woke up from her nap.
In reality, a big star suddenly rose from the horizon during the day, and the sun and moon lit up by the star god briefly went out for a moment as if in response.
Then the star disappeared again, and everything returned to normal. No one noticed anything unusual except the church bells.
——It was like a small preview of a disaster that was about to happen.
Looking down at the land occupied by the orcs from a higher altitude, the position of this star corresponds to the partial ruins near the center of Flora City.
[How dare I pinch you? ]
[He said that Sero was the second toy he used to please Xiaoman, so the first one was his own face? ]
[Some villains have been around for so long that they just bully people everywhere and keep eyeing on the protagonist (pointing and talking)]
[It’s weird but very strong. What kind of authority does this dog have?]
[Don't forget that he also came directly from the Star God... He is even more ruthless than Chen Xing. What's the big deal about stealing a light bulb switch?]
[As soon as I heard about the light bulb switch, I understood. Nie Zong: Watch out, Xiao Man, I'll use this pile of broken glass to make a crystal chandelier and install it! ]
[Don't be so down-to-earth! It's totally uncool! ! ! ]
Yuan Qian looked at the carefree barrage and silently opened the conversation.
"How come I don't know what you're doing?"
"What did I do?" the adjutant asked unconsciously.
"Thuro."
[Oh, that... I think the villains all need a headquarters, so I made one out of scrap materials and told Xiaoman about it before hanging it up. If it weren't for the fact that there are too many people, I would also like to play the setting where the Demon King has five of the four generals.]
So it really is a magical transformation of architectural garbage? Yuan Qian is amazed at the readers' comprehension.
"Why didn't you remember to tell me..."
[I was so excited about playing opposite the protagonist for the first time that I forgot about it. I wanted to come and tell you later, but you just closed yourself off.] Mr. Adjutant is very frank.
"Okay, let's not talk about that!" Yuan Qian interrupted quickly.
He thought that luckily Chen Xing was a fragment that had separated from Star God and his character was the Whisperer. Amara, who had just arranged the aftermath of Bronze City and was on his way to the next place, was a high-ranking mascot who was relatively far away from the core of the temple. Therefore, they did not comment on the so-called appearance of Sero and it was not considered a contradiction in the plot, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he flipped down and finally saw Amara's appearance.
During the time when he was distracted, the comments of readers who had finished reading the book first were already filled with joy.
[Yes! White hair! Abstinence! Priesthood! Uncle! Whoever is fine is fine! ]
[Hard bones, hehe, hard bones...]
[Looks like a strict and stubborn person, great, I like this kind of thing (wipes saliva)]
[Temple Sword, what a classic name. I have a feeling it might break easily, hehe]
[Pink Star: The classic version is here, let me eat it]
[Although he is an uncle, you know what I mean! This kind! Slim feeling! Combined with the style and personality of Pink Star, it's so hot, I want to fuck him!!!]
[It’s a bird… a bird… a bird that’s so serious but can chirp…]
[I want to join the temple! I want to join the temple! If I join the temple, can I touch the tail feathers of Lord Amarra? Let me touch it! I will immediately become a loyal lackey of the temple! Let me touch it! (jump)]
[Whose pants flew off! There are so many pants! Pull off a pair and put them on yourself]
Yuan Qian was silent.
He really just thinks that the appearance of No. 6 is very classic in fantasy works throughout the ages and should be popular. His mature, serious, firm in faith, and hard-on-soft-hearted personality traits will also be the subject of much discussion as the plot progresses.
But he really didn't expect that in the past when he sincerely respected similar characters, people on the Internet had already changed their perspective.
The bullet screen was jumping all over the screen with unprecedented recklessness, even more excessive than the treatment of all the previous characters together. He couldn't help but cover his face, and even "Amara" himself, who was only partially conscious, almost fell down.
Fortunately, the subsequent plot is about Xiaoman going to find Chen Xing after he lends a hand to the busy preparations of the host family the next day.
The associations evoked by the flower-shaped cake brought about a small wave of outcry, which was considered a win for Yuan Qian.
[Is the fisherman empty-handed today? If he is empty-handed, it is a different world.]
[My dear wife, you look more beautiful without clothes]
[Wait, you have a problem. Although the hood is indeed considered clothing! ]
[I am dizzy from laughing. Belike, you like to get in my face so much. Didn’t you come before because you didn’t want to? 】
[I can't beat my teammates.
[Chen Xing’s expression: This topic is a bit too sharp]
[Always being persecuted when appearing is the core cuteness of my wife, those who don’t understand, goodbye forever]
"So whether it's out of hope for the continuation of this world, or out of fear, empathy or compassion for my father who is suffering from illness, I do hope you kill him."
"I understand. Although I'm still not sure how to do it." Xiaoman nodded in agreement, knowing the nature and motives of the Star God from his confession just now.
"Thank you." Chen Xing smiled sincerely.
"I'm not short of money. Just think of it as a reward if you absorb less evil thoughts recently."
"good."
[…The stalker is back, mom]
[Isn't this a good way to control Chen Xing? I've always said that the real Yasasi is invincible! ]
【Let me have a bite of the Starlight Group】
No one can refuse genuine concern, especially for someone like Chen Xing whose position is difficult to understand and interact with others normally.
Yuan Qian confirmed from the comic that his reaction at the time was correct, and then he looked at the comments section of this episode for more detailed discussions than the real-time bullet screen, but he found that there were still two pages of updates.
An ominous feeling came over me.
Yuan Qian quietly turned off the updates in an attempt to escape, but the forum taught him the truth that disaster cannot be avoided.
Dark and light colors are destined to be married!!! (Heartbreaking)
"My wife, who has withered after absorbing a lot of evil thoughts, I can't be any better"
"You two are definitely having an affair, what is a holy prostitute and Satan?"
"High-speed chat, making up some rage and empathy with control of the fragments of Father God"
"These five sentences gave me a lot of ideas about the relationship between the strong and the weak, the ruler and the subjects, and the prey. Very good."
The above post obviously refers to the strange conversation that Yuan Qian had due to shame and isolation. In fact, it is mixed with the opinions on Amara, the relationship between the names of Xiaoman and Chenxing among the readers of the Starlight Group, and the discussion of details such as the color of cigarette sticks and the location of Thurro. However, its presence is so strong that Yuan Qian cannot ignore it.
"We'll definitely make a lot of money this time. Our teamwork is impeccable." The adjutant added insult to injury. To Yuan Qian, his tone sounded like a secretary reporting the achievements of each branch during a family gathering. It was full of false positivity that came completely from the business model.
Yuan Qian admitted that this made sense, so he just felt a little depressed and had no way to vent.
So Amara, who was originally planning to rush to Flora City, turned around and headed in the direction of Lielie's lion tribe.
When you feel really bad, you can just have a fight... probably.
