Chapter 621 Eula: No one will feel sorry for me anyway
After Sigwen left, Shao Yun turned his attention to the bed.
I saw Eula lying there quietly, with her eyes closed, looking like a sleeping beauty.
However, when Shao Yun looked closely, he saw that Youla's eyelids twitched slightly.
Just as Sigwen said, Eula was pretending to be asleep.
Shao Yun looked at Youla who was trying hard to pretend to be asleep, and couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
"Your skill in pretending to sleep is not very good. Sigwen saw through it immediately."
After hearing this, Eula, who originally wanted to continue pretending, knew that she could no longer hide it, so she simply opened her eyes, then propped herself up with her hands and leaned lazily against the head of the bed.
Shao Yun watched as Youla finally stopped hiding her feelings and sat up openly. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
After a moment's silence, he finally found an opening remark.
"Um...how do you feel physically? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Upon hearing this, Youla first glanced at Shao Yun sideways, then said with a hint of complaint and self-mockery: "Humph, my life is really tough enough!"
Obviously, Youla took seriously what Shao Yun had said casually before.
Seeing that Eula was so concerned about his casual teasing just now, Shao Yun hurriedly smiled and explained: "Hey, why didn't Sigwen respond to me? Actually, I don't mean to dislike you. I just simply expressed my feelings."
After listening to Shao Yun's explanation, a complicated expression appeared on Youla's beautiful and stubborn face.
Then she curled her lips slightly, not knowing what she was thinking, and muttered softly: "Hmph, whatever, no one will feel sorry for me anyway, this is an indisputable fact."
Shao Yun stood aside with a helpless look on his face. He shrugged lightly but did not respond to Eula's words.
After all, at this moment, facing such a sensitive and depressed Eula, he really didn't know how to respond.
For a moment, the whole room fell into depressing silence.
Eula kept her head down the whole time, her hands tightly grasping the quilt covering her lower body.
Shao Yun also stood there, not knowing what to do.
Just when the silence was almost suffocating, Eula suddenly raised her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes revealing some indescribable shame and anger, and asked: "Why did you save me... It would be better if I died?"
When Shao Yun heard this question, he pursed his lips subconsciously, and then slowly explained: "Two reasons, because you said that you would reconcile with me after you become a formal police officer, and I can't watch you die with regret...
"Second, if you wanted to die, you wouldn't have left your hometown and come to Fontaine. If you really want to die, then I'm sorry, just treat me as a cheapskate."
After hearing the reasons given by Shao Yun, Youla couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Although she was a little annoyed by Shao Yun's words about her good luck, when she thought about it carefully, after all, if Shao Yun hadn't rescued her, she would have been packed up and sent back to Mondstadt.
Thinking of this, Youla felt a surge of gratitude in her heart, and said sincerely, "Thank you."
However, as soon as Youla finished speaking, Shao Yun immediately waved his hand and asked her another question with a serious face: "Don't thank me yet, what happened last night?"
Although he had already learned about what happened last night from Finina and Alechino, in order to avoid an awkward silence and find a topic to talk about, Shao Yun pretended to be ignorant and asked about it again.
When Youla saw Shao Yun asking about what happened yesterday, she briefly recalled and replied, "It's actually nothing serious. It was just a contest between two people with a huge difference in strength. I was not as skilled as him and couldn't even withstand his three moves. I was defeated."
She described the outcome of the battle in a lighthearted way, giving the impression that it was not a very depressing thing.
But only Eula herself knew what she was thinking.
When Shao Yun heard that Eula was beaten half to death by Alechino in just three moves, he couldn't help but blurt out a complaint.
"You didn't fight him with your bare hands, did you? I see that your sword is very intimidating when you swing it. There's no need to belittle yourself like that."
Originally, Shao Yun just wanted to make a joke to lighten the mood, but he never expected that Youla would nod and say, "Yes, that's right, I did fight the enemy with bare hands..."
Shao Yun's eyes widened when he received such an unexpected answer.
"What? Where's your greatsword? Don't tell me you left it in Mondstadt..."
You have to bring weapons when you run away from home. You are unarmed... Ying should at least have a sword!
Seeing Shao Yun asking about her two-handed sword "When the Pine Sounds Ring", Youla's heart tightened involuntarily, and she swallowed subconsciously.
"Well... Actually, I sold my weapon. If I had a weapon in my hand at that time, huh! It would be hard to say who would win..." Eula said stubbornly, trying to save her face.
When Shao Yun heard that Youla had actually sold all the weapons that he valued so much, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.
"Wha...what? You sold your weapons? Why!?"
In sharp contrast to Shao Yun's shock, Youla's expression seemed quite calm.
She just shrugged lightly and explained calmly: "I can't help it. I need some money for the trip. If I don't sell the weapons, how can I get the money for the trip?"
As Shao Yun listened to Eula's explanation, the scene suddenly emerged in his mind when Dixia sold her "Reed Sea Beacon" in order to raise funds for the Flower God's Birthday Festival.
"Why are you the same as Dishia?"
After that, Shao Yun asked again: "Who did you sell your big sword to?"
Eula, who was leaning against the head of the bed, looked up at Shao Yun with suspicion, frowned and asked, "Why do you care so much about who I sold it to? It doesn't seem to have much to do with you, right?"
Shao Yun urged, "Don't worry about what I mean. Who did you sell it to? Tell me now!"
Youla lowered her head slightly, her eyes flickering, not daring to look Shao Yun in the eye.
"I...I sold it to a merchant named Dolly when I was in Xumi."
Hearing the name, Shao Yun turned around without saying a word, strode towards the door, and left a sentence at the same time.
"Okay, I got it. Just wait here for me for a while."
When Youla saw Shao Yun was about to leave, her heart tightened and she hurriedly shouted, "Wait! Don't leave yet, tell me what you are going to do?"
However, Shao Yun didn't even turn his head, but just said something from a distance.
"Don't ask so many questions. I'll be back soon."
Looking at Shao Yun's back as he left the room, even if Youla used her toes to guess, she could guess that he left in such a hurry to help her redeem the weapon that had been sold.
Thinking of this, Youla bit her lower lip lightly and murmured to herself: "Actually, you don't have to be so nice to me... You know, I reconciled with you only because I couldn't beat you, not because I really wanted to reconcile with you..."
……
Mount Sumeru has dense forests without overgrowth.
Countless huge mushroom plants grow in it, emitting a faint but charming fluorescence.
Those giant mushrooms towered into the clouds, their caps intertwined with each other, forming a sky filled with dim light, blocking out the sun and the moon.
Even at noon, only a little sunlight can penetrate the thick mushroom cap and fall on the forest floor.
Suddenly, accompanied by a dazzling flash of purple-black light, an abyss portal appeared without warning.
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun stepped out of the portal. He looked around vigilantly, and his gaze finally stopped on the towering tree that soared into the sky in the center of Xumi City in the distance.
I hope Nashida won't bother me. I don't have time to deal with her now."
Time waits for no one. Shao Yun quickly blew a clear whistle, ready to resolve the problem as quickly as possible to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
However, what was unexpected was that the horse that responded to his call this time was not the familiar Andalusian horse "Rou", nor the brown chestnut Boadicea, but a ghost-faced fox-trot horse with a completely black body and exuding a strange aura - "Belloq"!
Shao Yun stared at the black horse in front of him with wide eyes, looking at it in astonishment. He said in disbelief, "What's going on? Belloc..."
Belloc gently raised his front hooves and dug the soil under his feet, as if urging Shao Yun to ride on quickly.
When thinking about his honor value in Xumi, Shao Yun understood why the horse Belloc appeared in front of him.
"I understand. Xumi's -6 honor value... should force me to ride you." Shao Yun shook his head helplessly, his eyes falling on Belloq in front of him.
Although... But, at this moment, he couldn't afford to be too picky. Missouri Fox Trotter is also OK, it's not so bumpy to ride...
So Shao Yun turned over and jumped onto the horse, muttering to himself: "Okay, let's go! The first stop is Casazale Palace."
"I hope Dolly doesn't stay in Xumi City. If he is there, it will be a big trouble."
"Given my current situation in Xumi, once I enter Xumi City, I'm afraid Nashida will stir up a hornet's nest."
One of the important reasons why Shao Yun did not choose Xumi City as the first stop to look for Dolly was that he was in Wu Yuchong Forest, close to Casazale Palace.
On the other hand, given how popular (or unpopular) he was in Xumi now, he really didn't dare to take the risk of seeing if Nashida would kill him.
Although Nashida had sent him a letter before, expressing her desire to discuss the feasibility of the Loom of Destiny with his elder brother-in-law "Kong", that letter did not mention reconciliation with him personally!
He killed a quarter of the people in Xumi. Who knows how much Nashida hates him? Maybe she is already sharpening her knife and waiting for him!
