Chapter 94: Pure Water Crystal, Egolia's Gift
Listening to Egolia's caring words, Sunan fell into silence unconsciously.
Does that feeling... hurt?
It still hurts, right?
It's just that he has gotten used to it, just like he is used to using a smile to hide sadness and using a smile to hide pain.
Many times, in order not to worry his followers and friends, he would deal with everything with a calm, solemn, or confident expression.
Including...war.
Looking back to when he first came through, he had nothing... Apart from the soul and memories that did not belong to the world of Teyvat, what else did he have?
Nothing at all……
From an ordinary elemental fish to the current Sea Demon, he has experienced a lot.
He is just used to expressing everything with a smile. No matter how big the problem is, he will unconsciously respond with a smile.
Why did you travel to this era? And why did you travel to this era and become a monster?
Sunan had expressed his dissatisfaction with his time travel more than once before.
But after being dissatisfied for a while, I got used to it.
There is nothing much to say, just travel through time.
Wait! Why did I suddenly remember these things?
How dare you! How dare you, a bad woman, disturb my mind? ! ! !
Sunan shuddered and subconsciously pulled his hand out of Egolia's hand?
One, two...why can’t I pull it out?
He looked at Egolia in slight surprise.
No... Big sister, don’t you know that there shouldn’t be physical contact between men and women?
Just thinking this, he saw some determination in Egolia's gentle eyes.
"She...what is she going to do?"
Sunan was slightly confused, but he did not continue to object to Egolia holding his hand.
because……
Tears slid down her cheeks, colorful lights and the power of the primordial fetal sea lingered above the tears.
After a few breaths, a blue gem was grabbed by Egolia's other hand and presented in front of Sunan.
"You are my friend..." Egolia whispered, "A very good friend..."
"I am trapped in the primordial fetal sea and cannot escape..."
"So I'm sorry I can't help you much..."
"But I will do my best..."
"This is the Pure Water Crystal... In the past, I gave the Pure Water Elves the responsibility of understanding everything, and the Pure Water Crystal can help you communicate with those children in a friendly manner."
"Although with your strength, you may not need this help..."
Speaking of this, there was a hint of bitterness in Egolia's gentle smile.
She felt very guilty for not being able to help her only friend.
"But... this is the only thing I can do to help you right now..."
Just as Su Nan was about to speak, a soft little hand pressed on his lips.
In the little hand, there was a deep blue gem tightly held.
So if it weren’t for this gem, perhaps Sunan would have kissed this little hand?
"Please don't reject me... okay?" Egolia's eyes were full of hope.
This time, Sunan did not avoid Egolia's sight, but just stared at her.
"I accept these gifts you gave me."
The corner of her mouth curled up slightly in a mischievous smile, and she released her hand that was pressing on Su Nan's lips. The gem seemed to be attached with double-sided tape and stuck to Su Nan's lips.
With a hint of smile between her eyebrows, she tilted her head slightly and looked at Su Nan, whose lips seemed to have "grown" gems.
"Reciprocity... This is what you taught me before~"
"And...I really like the gift you gave me, especially..."
Egolia reached out and gently picked up a lily of the valley and placed it between the two of them.
"……it!"
Looking at the nearby Lily of the Valley and Egolia, Sunan's eyes were a little dazed.
He turned his head slightly and noticed that his right hand had been held by Egolia's left hand from the beginning...
Everything that just happened was done by Egolia's right hand.
That is to say...
He took a deep breath, and a scent, not sure whether it was the fragrance of flowers or body odor, entered his heart. Su Nan's eyes became a little deep.
The throbbing heart was pressed down by him...
He still had a lot of things to do... and he wasn't sure if this was an illusion.
Let's just keep it like this?
He thought about it with a little self-mockery, took off the gem on his lips, and said to Egolia half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Then don't blame me for treating the pure water elves like paloo and exploiting them."
He had actually seen through the effect of the Pure Water Crystal.
According to Egolia, this pure water crystal seemed to be a bridge for him to communicate with those pure water elves, but in fact...
If he wanted, he could use this crystal to forcibly control the pure water spirit.
In a sense, Egolia's act of giving him the Pure Water Crystal was equivalent to handing him the leadership and control over her followers!
To put it more bluntly, if Sunan wanted, he could now have a group of pure water elves.
So his words were actually a question and a test.
Egolia's brows were full of tenderness. She smiled and said softly:
"I feel relieved to leave those children to you..."
"I believe in you, just like... you believe in me."
Her voice is very pleasant, like a mountain spring, dripping into the heart and bringing a hint of sweetness.
"Hehe..." Sunan chuckled and closed his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, the look in his eyes when he looked at Egolia was different from before.
If before it was a lifelong pity for the other person who was a tool, then now... it is kindness and tenderness towards a friend.
"Now that you've said that, I'll have to treat these kids like Palu and squeeze them hard."
Egolia blinked her beautiful big eyes, smiled, and said:
"But don't exploit them too much... I don't know what a 'paru' is, but the lives of those 'paru' must be very difficult, right?"
"It's different." After hearing what Egolia said, Sunan shook his head and said, "Different Palu, meeting different people, naturally have different situations."
"but me……"
Sunan and Egolia looked at each other, their eyes full of seriousness, as if they were making a promise.
"We will give them the best."
"...Then can you tell me the story of Palu?" Egolia took Sunan's hand and pulled him to a bench made of the water from the fetal sea.
"Of course, I'll tell you..."
The bad woman who disturbed my mind?
Do not!
she is not!
She is... a true friend!
Thinking of this, Sunan began to tell the stories of the mythical beast Palu.
