"I don't understand him? I have read his book 'Young Duck' five times! I can see from it how dirty his thoughts are!" Kamisato Ayato said excitedly.
"Hmph! Brother, I think you are the dirty one. I've also read this light novel, it's very positive."
Kamisato Ayato was speechless, although the ending of the novel was that Dali Duck became completely useless due to excessive indulgence, it was still very satisfying.
But this novel has nothing to do with positive energy.
"Thomas, tell me, what kind of person is Ueno Chiki?" After saying that, he looked at Thomas with expectant eyes.
And Kamisato Ayaka also looked at Thomas with hope.
This put Thomas in a dilemma. After some consideration, he decided to express his true opinion fairly.
"Chiki Ueno is humble, sincere, kind, and a very good person,"
Kamisato Ayato looked unhappy, while Kamisato Ayaka was smiling happily.
"But," Thomas hadn't finished speaking yet, "he and the traveler have a good relationship. I can feel that they like each other."
For a moment, the poles reversed.
Kamisato Ayato was smiling happily, while Kamisato Ayaka looked unhappy.
She glared at Kamisato Ayato fiercely, "What are you laughing at? If you laugh again, there will be no place for you in this family!"
Kamisato Ayato immediately managed her expression and said gently: "Ayahua, there are many excellent men in the world. You will meet them."
"Shut up!"
Kamisato Ayato decisively chose not to speak anymore.
"Brother, I will never give up on Ueno Chiki!"
Chapter 56 Xinhai, give me your white silk
Wanglong Village is a quiet little village located in the southern part of Kaijima Island.
The autumn sunshine shines on the golden rice fields, and the whole village is bathed in peace and tranquility.
People in the fields are busy harvesting the ripe rice, and the annual autumn harvest is about to begin.
However, the peaceful atmosphere was suddenly broken by bursts of rapid shouting.
"Zheping!"
"Zheping!"
Yingmei and Paimon are trying hard to search for traces of Zheping in the village.
Soon, they found him in front of a simple wooden house.
When they saw him, they could hardly believe their eyes.
In just about half a month, Zheping turned from a positive young man into a white-haired old man. His face was pale and haggard, his skin was loose, and his eyes were dull.
He lay in front of the house, lifeless.
"Zheping, why did you become like this?" Paimon said in a low voice with a sad expression.
Teppei raised his head with great effort, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, "Ah... it's you. Why are you here? Wait a minute, I'll stand up first... It's strange, I always feel that my body has no strength. I have made several contributions recently, and Lord Coral Palace promoted me to the captain of the Herring Squadron 1. I think I will be able to catch up with you soon."
Yingmei looked at him as he aged, anger, disappointment and sadness intertwined in her eyes, "You clearly know the harm of the evil eye, why do you still use it?"
The smile on Zheping's face disappeared. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I have been in the Coral Palace Army for almost three years. During these three years, I have been working diligently, but I have always been just an ordinary sergeant. It is because I have not made enough contributions.
Many of my comrades-in-arms of the same period have made great contributions and hold high positions.
The source of this difference is the Eye of God. People with the Eye of God can control elemental forces, and their combat power far exceeds that of ordinary people. They can easily achieve great success.
The evil eye gives me the same power as the holder of the divine eye, and I can accomplish great deeds."
Yingmei couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, "Are you crazy? You would rather sacrifice your life to gain temporary power."
Zheping raised his head and looked towards the sky with a calm and indifferent expression.
"Traveler, do you know? We, the people of Ujishima and Inazuma, have the same hobby, which is to watch fireworks. Although fireworks are only short-lived, their beauty and brilliance will remain in people's hearts forever."
He actually had something else he wanted to say, but now he couldn't say it.
At this time, Yingmei's resentment had dissipated, and was replaced by a faint sadness lingering in her heart.
"Hey, what's that expression on your face, Traveler? Don't worry. Let me rest for a while. After a while, maybe I'll be fine."
As he said this, Zheping closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.
"Zheping, you should have a good rest." Yingmei turned around and left with Paimeng.
Shortly after she left, Zheping opened his eyes and stared at her departing back in a daze.
After a long while, he sighed, "Sure enough, I am not someone that is watched by the gods!"
........
The entrance of Wanglong Village.
Coral Palace Xinhai and the rebel general Goro stood facing the wind, waiting for Yingmei's return.
Soon, they finally saw her approaching from afar.
"Traveler, how is Teppei doing?" Goro asked with great concern. He always regarded the sergeants as his brothers and was particularly concerned about every sergeant.
Yingmei looked gloomy, "The situation is not good. He has almost lost all his vitality."
Goro and Coral Palace Xinhai felt very guilty after hearing this.
Especially in the Heart Sea of Coral Palace, the information about the great harm of the evil eye had been sent back a month ago. After she issued the order to confiscate the evil eye, she no longer paid attention to it.
As a result, Fatui spies secretly and continuously introduced evil eyes into the army, causing an epidemic of evil eyes.
By the time she reacted, it was already too late, causing great losses to the Coral Palace army. Many soldiers died of old age after using the Evil Eye.
“Xinhai, according to my investigation, these evil eyes are produced in an evil eye factory on Bayun Island. However, the specific location of the evil eye factory has not been discovered yet.” Yingmei told the results of her own investigations over the past few days.
Coral Palace fell into deep thought, muttering to himself, "The factory must be large and hidden, and it must be close to major transportation routes to ensure the supply of raw materials."
Then, a map of Bayun Island appeared in her mind, and she began to search for a place that met the requirements. After a while, she found a place that best met the requirements.
"There aren't many places that meet these conditions. Combined with the location where the soldiers received the evil eye, it can be inferred that the factory is most likely on the cliffs facing the sea in the southwest of Bayun Island."
After hearing this, Yingmei's eyes became determined, "Xinhai, I will go and eradicate the Evil Eye Factory now."
Coral Palace Xinhai looked at her affectionately and said softly, "I won't stop you, but you must be careful. We have lost many people who fought side by side, and I don't want to lose you again."
Yingmei also knew that going to the Evil Eye Factory was very dangerous, and she didn't want to leave any regrets, so she said: "Xinhai, before I go, can you agree to one condition for me?"
"I can agree to any condition you ask."
"Hand over your original white stockings to me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene became completely silent.
I saw that Coral Palace Xinhai, whose originally elegant jade-like face, suddenly appeared a touch of delicate red, just like the sunset dyeing the sky, so beautiful that it was breathtaking. Her eyes flickered with shyness and nervousness, as if she was mustering up the courage, but she was hesitant when she opened her mouth.
Her cherry lips opened and closed again, like a flower in the morning light, shivering in the sun. Her hesitant look filled people's hearts with deep pity and reluctance.
Just as Yingmei was about to leave, Coral Palace Xinhai finally plucked up the courage and whispered, "That... Traveler, I can give them to you now. But please don't do anything weird."
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's whisper, but it echoed in the air like a bell, shocking everyone present.
Chapter 57 Evil Eye Factory
Narukami Taisha Shrine.
Yae Kamiko stood under the ancient and magnificent sacred cherry tree, her pink hair fluttering gently in the breeze, like floating cherry blossom petals, revealing a soft color in the freshness.
The leaves of the sacred cherry tree fell one by one, fluttering in the air and then gently landing on her.
She turned around and walked up to the shrine maiden Inashiro Hotaru, who was still sweeping up fallen leaves, and gently lifted the girl's white chin with her hand.
Daocheng Yingmei's face was flushed, like the peach blossoms blooming in spring, her eyes were evasive, and some people were afraid to look into her eyes.
"Hiramei, I have to go on a long trip, so I'll have to trouble you for the next few days."
Daocheng Yingmei nodded gently, "I understand, Master Yae, but please don't do such frivolous things again."
Yae Shinko stopped what she was doing and muttered in dissatisfaction, "You could tease her as you like when she was little, but now she's grown up, she's not cute at all."
After saying this, he left the shrine with a swaying figure and light steps.
.......
Inside the Evil Eye Factory on the cliff facing the sea in the southwest of Bayun Island.
"The wind is stirring!"
An extremely violent tornado suddenly rose from the ground and rushed towards the Fatui vanguard troops wearing heavy armor opposite them.
The storm tore them apart easily, as if tearing a piece of white paper.
Yingmei, who was not far away, took a deep breath. Those Fatui guards were much more difficult to deal with than she had imagined, forcing her to use her elemental burst.
Although she had dealt with all the enemies in front of her, the ominous and strange atmosphere in the air made her feel very uneasy.
She and Paimon continued forward and walked into a hall when they suddenly saw a familiar figure.
He was a short boy, wearing a purple-black Japanese short-sleeved shirt and a street girl's hat. He had a handsome face and a rebellious smile on his lips.
After seeing the boy's face clearly, Yingmei held the Sword of Dawn and pointed the blade at him angrily.
"It's really interesting. As soon as we met, you looked like you wanted to kill me." The young man looked at Yingmei with contempt.
"Scattered Soldiers, you were the ones who distributed the evil eyes to the rebels. Do you know how many people were killed by this?"
The soldier laughed, "Too funny, Traveler, you have to understand one thing, although we gave them the evil eye, they have their own right to use it. And as far as I know, many people know the harm of the evil eye. Let the insects gain the same power as humans, they should be grateful to us, right?"
His words angered Yingmei, and she said angrily: "You are just quibbling! You bastards are just using these rebels as test subjects for the evil eye."
The soldier who had his true intentions exposed did not look flustered at all. Instead, he looked at Yingmei with some appreciation, "Well said. But you seem to have made a mistake. Although I am standing here, I am only executing the plan on behalf of others. The mastermind is of course someone else. I'll give you a hint. She is a female executive officer."
"Ms. Rosalyn?!" Yingmei called out the name on the spot.
Sanbing smiled and said nothing, without answering her question.
At this time, Yingmei's hatred towards the lady increased even more.
