Chapter 77 I Only Know About Things Between Women
"Youren, are you really determined to do this? Believe in the general, she will definitely give the people of Inazuma a satisfactory answer." Kujo Sara's tone was full of helplessness.
You Ren still shook his head, "We believe in the General, and we always have. But does the General believe in us?"
After saying this, he felt a little bored, sighed, and left.
Lei Dianying looked at his desolate back as he left, feeling mixed emotions.
She believed in the laws of nature, in her own eternity, in the laws of heaven and in the laws of survey and determination, but she did not believe in the people.
Could it be that I was really wrong?
"Sarah, is my eternal righteousness really wrong?"
Kujo Sara was stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment. She once believed in this firmly and was the most determined practitioner.
But in the process of practicing, she gradually began to doubt the eternal justice. If she had not had an extremely devout belief in General Lei Dian, she would have probably started to oppose it long ago.
"I'm sorry, General, I can't answer your question. But perhaps you can ask Lord Yaemiyaji. She should have the answer." She thought about it seriously and replied.
Lei Dianying had a complicated expression. She didn't really want to look for Yae Shenzi. Although she was happy to meet her old friend, she felt somewhat embarrassed to be teased and laughed at by her every time.
Just then, she found a familiar figure in the crowd, perhaps this person could give her the answer.
So she walked towards the man with a dignified pace.
After a while, she walked in front of the man, and the people around her dispersed.
"Traveler, please move to my castle tower. I have something to ask you."
Yingmei pointed at herself in confusion, "Please teach me?"
"Yes." Lei Dianying nodded.
Yingmei touched her head and said, "Honestly, the only thing I know more about is the things between women. I can answer you about this, and I can also take you to practice it. But for other things, you can ask that guy Ueno Chiki. I think he knows a lot."
Lei Dianying thought for a moment, "Is the Ueno Chishu you are talking about the one who blocked my Wuxiang's sword?"
"Yes."
"Then please lead the way, I will go to see him."
.........
In front of a wooden house in the northwest suburbs of Inazuma Castle, Chiki Ueno was washing ingredients and preparing today's lunch.
Suddenly, a fierce cold spread from deep within his bones, seeming to freeze every cell in his body. The pain ruthlessly eroded his nerves, like a sharp blade ripping under his skin, making it impossible for his body to feel any warmth.
At the same time, his limbs began to lose feeling, becoming weak and numb. It was as if a thick layer of frost extended along the blood vessels and nerves, making his fingertips and toes numb and unable to feel any slight touch. His hands and feet, as if they were not part of his body, became cold and stiff, completely out of his control.
His body could no longer maintain balance and he fell to the ground with a thud.
His face turned pale, like a lifeless piece of paper, lifeless, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept appearing on his forehead.
He tried to struggle, but his body no longer obeyed him. He could only lie there helplessly, allowing the cold and pain to envelop him like a dark shadow.
It seemed as if a long century had passed before the bone-chilling coldness finally dissipated. His body seemed to have regained its temperature, and the warm feeling was like a spring breeze blowing through his body.
He breathed in the fresh air in big gulps, each breath carrying vitality and the beauty of life. His heart was beating faster, as if celebrating the return of life, and the fresh air flowed into his lungs, taking away the cold pressure in his body.
He suddenly felt a deep sense of relief, like a drowning man who was suddenly rescued from the water.
The deep despair and helplessness had dissipated along with the cold, and what remained in his heart was only the deep emotion at this moment: being alive is truly beautiful.
When he pushed aside his sleeves, he saw that the black scales had spread a little bit upwards, past his elbows and extended towards his upper arms, just as he had expected.
This is the aftereffect of his excessive use of the evil eye - the demonic scale disease.
The lady once told him that this evil eye was made by the Doctor, the Deputy Chief Executive of the Fatui, and it is very powerful, but at the same time, it should not be overused.
In order to block the sword of General Raiden at the gate of the castle tower, he desperately over-expended the power of the evil eye, which led to sequelae.
The doctor must have mixed forbidden knowledge into the demon residue, the main material for making the evil eye.
After contracting the Demon Scale Disease, Ueno Chiki felt both sad and happy. He was sad because the Demon Scale Disease was so torturous, as he had to endure the pain of capital punishment every two or three days. He was happy because the Demon Scale Disease was not a terminal illness. In the original plot, the Traveler eliminated the Demon Scale Disease caused by the forbidden knowledge after rescuing the little lucky grass queen Nashida.
While he was thinking, Yingmei and Paimon came to the front of the house with Lei Diandian.
When Yingmei saw his miserable appearance, she quickly walked up to him, her face full of heartache and self-blame, and helped him up, "Qianshu, are you feeling better? It's all my fault. If I had run faster, I wouldn't have gotten you into trouble."
After Ueno Chiki stood up, he slowly moved his body, feeling that he was regaining control of his body. "Ying, this is not your fault. And my disease can be cured."
Yingmei felt even more guilty, thinking that he was just saying that to comfort herself.
She gently grasped his hand, looked into his deep eyes, and said firmly: "Qian Shu, no matter how difficult it is, I will find a way to cure you."
"Ahem." Lei Dianying coughed lightly, interrupting the two people's lovey-dovey conversation.
Yingmei also realized that there were outsiders here. Her face turned red and she quickly let go of her hand.
"Ueno Chiki, today I want to ask you about the matter of eternity." Lei Dianying said with a serious face.
After hearing this, Ueno Chiki pondered for a moment and said, "General, you must have come from Inazuma Castle today. You should have noticed that everything is very different now than it was a few hundred years ago."
Lei Dianying nodded, "I can hardly recognize it."
"If your eternal justice is truly carried out, then Inazuma Castle should remain the same as it has been for hundreds of years."
Chapter 78 Discussion on Eternity
"Although the city is more prosperous now, many of its former beauty has disappeared. I remember there were many beautiful red cherry trees in the former Inazuma Castle, but there are only a few left now." Lei Dianying thought for a moment and replied seriously.
Ueno Chiki was choked for a moment. If a normal person were to answer this question, he would definitely think that the current situation is better.
But Lei Dianying's perspective on the problem is obviously different from that of ordinary people, because she cares too much about losing.
It was difficult to persuade someone who was stubborn, so he decided to try a different angle. "General, do you think eternity is really possible?"
Lei Dianying hesitated for a moment and said, "Eternity, should be achievable."
Ueno Chiki chuckled, "Even gods cannot achieve eternity, let alone ordinary things in the world. The world is constantly moving and developing. This is an objective law that cannot be changed by the will of any person or god."
Lei Diandian remained silent. She had to admit that what Ueno Chiki said made sense. Even though she had exhausted all her means, she was still inevitably worn out.
After a long while, she said, "Maybe there is something wrong with my approach. God is eternal."
Ueno Chiki held his forehead with his hand and didn't want to say anything more. It was too difficult to persuade a stubborn person.
He couldn't remember clearly how Lei changed his eternal thoughts in the movie. It seemed that he had made an appointment with Yingmei for a day, read light novels, and drank Dango milk.
"Uh, General, why don't you go to Yae-do, which is owned by Lord Yae-no-miyaji. The light novels there may give you some inspiration."
"Yaedo? I've often heard Shen Zi talk about it. She is very proud of this bookstore she opened. I will go and take a look. I'll take my leave first." After saying that, Lei Dianying turned around and prepared to leave.
"General, if you don't mind, you can have lunch here." Seeing that it was lunch time, Ueno Chiki tried to persuade him to stay.
Lei Dianying originally planned to refuse, but when he thought about how he had been so secluded in the Pure Land for hundreds of years that he had almost forgotten the taste of food, he decided to give it a try.
She turned around and said, "Sorry to bother you then."
Ueno Chiki was shocked. He was just saying something polite, but he didn't expect Lei Dianying to really agree. Although he was shocked, he still cooked the meal.
Soon, a table full of dishes was ready.
What catches the eye are colorful dishes, including braised pork, stir-fried shrimps, boiled blackback sea bass, cold mint, and mixed vegetable soup.
The aroma and appearance of this table of carefully prepared delicacies are all amazing. The combination of various dishes is both pleasing to the eye and mouth-watering.
Lei Dianying looked at the dazzling array of delicacies in front of him and couldn't help but praise, "Ueno Chiki, I didn't expect you to be able to make such delicious dishes, you are really amazing."
"Thank you for your compliment! Please enjoy it." Chiki Ueno responded with a smile.
Lei Dianying picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating, but found that Yingmei and Paimon had already started to eat voraciously.
Her movements were naturally not as rough as those of the other two. She lightly shook her wrist, picked up a piece of braised pork, and put it into her mouth to savor it carefully.
Then, she picked up a shrimp with ease and put it into her mouth.
Her movements were graceful and smooth, showing her good table manners.
However, as time went on, her frequency of picking up food increased, and her chopsticks shuttled back and forth between the dish and her mouth, as if performing a precise dance.
Yingmei and Paimeng gradually realized that something was wrong. The vegetables were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. They both turned their eyes to Lei Diandian.
Lei Dianying continued to pick up food, completely ignoring the two of them.
Yingmei and Paimeng immediately sped up and started a fierce competition with Lei Diandian.
Soon, all the food on the table was cleared away by them.
.......
Lei Dianying walked back home, thinking about the delicious food she had just had. The aroma of the braised pork, the deliciousness of the stir-fried shrimp, the tenderness of the boiled black bass, the freshness of the cold mint, and the sweetness of the mixed vegetable soup were still dancing on her tongue, making her unforgettable.
Perhaps it was because he had not tasted the delicacies of this world for hundreds of years, the brief period of delicious food just now brought Lei Dianying an unprecedented enjoyment.
A delicious meal, a warm occasion, and a group of sincere friends made her think of the time hundreds of years ago.
Under the blooming cherry trees, she played a karuta duel with her friends. She won all the levels and finally defeated Tengu with great difficulty, and received the winner's reward dessert.
That dessert was made by Kitsaigong herself, and she still cannot recall the sweetness that remains in her heart.
As she was reminiscing, she saw a bookstore in front of her, and the name on it was Yaedo.
As soon as she stepped forward, Kuroda immediately bowed to her in fear and humbly said, "General, I am honored to be here in person. Do you have any instructions?"
She waved her hand gently, "Don't be so nervous, I just came here to find some light novels to read."
Black Spot's eyes widened immediately, not daring to believe what he heard, "General, did I hear you correctly? You want to read the light novel."
"Yes, I want to see what the light novels that are popular among the Inazuma people are like?"
"Well, General, light novels are mainly aimed at ordinary people, and the content is all kinds of strange. Many of them may not suit your taste."
"It's okay, just get me one copy of all the best-selling light novels from Yaedou."
Kuroda was a little overwhelmed because most of his popular light novels were not suitable for her to read.
Because the two most popular novels now are "Night Shift Hospital, ........" and "Reincarnated as General Lei Dian, Then Invincible in the World". The former contains a lot of marginal plots, while the latter, strictly speaking, is very offensive to General Lei Dian.
Lei Dianying saw his hesitation and embarrassment, so he said, "Don't worry about it. No matter what the content of the novel is, I won't blame you."
When Kuroda heard her say this, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and packed up his latest best-selling novels including "Night Shift Ward,..." and "I Got Reincarnated as the Thunder General and Became Invincible" and gave them to Lei Film.
