Chapter 715 The relationship breaks down again
At the same time, on the other side, Ningguang, who was tied tightly to the chair, had already said out loud all the words and questions she wanted to ask.
After saying this, Ningguang slowly closed her eyes and said with a sense of relief: "Okay, Shao Yun, you can kill me if you want. I know your methods, I just ask you to give me a quick death, this is my only request."
Shao Yun quietly looked at Ningguang, who had closed her eyes and accepted her fate...
After a moment's silence, he finally spoke and asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.
"Hey, Ningguang, what on earth made you so crazy? You have already made a perfect plan, why are you still not satisfied?"
Ningguang opened her eyes, looked up at the starry sky, and recalled how she had come to this point. She explained:
"There are so many things I want to do, but there are so many obstacles. I have to find a way to clear the obstacles."
"You are so useful as a shield. This smooth feeling is like a curse. I am addicted. I am scared when I think that I might lose such a useful shield like you."
"So, I gambled everything I had, including my life, and it seems that I was blinded by desire."
“Just like the merchants who resell my collections, we are all caught in a paradox. We know we shouldn’t be greedy, but... we just make mistakes.”
"It's like a naughty student in school. He knows that if he doesn't do his homework, he will be scolded by the teacher the next day, but some people still take the chance and think that the teacher won't check his homework the next day."
After listening to what Ningguang said, Shao Yun pursed his lips and finally asked, "Give me a reason not to kill you."
When Ningguang heard Shao Yun's reason for not killing her, she laughed as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Ha... is there really such a reason? Is it possible?"
After the laughter, Ningguang's expression suddenly became serious.
She stared at Shao Yun and said slowly: "However, before I die, I still want to give you a piece of advice."
"Everyone has desires, whether it's greed for Mora, desire for power, or any other variety of desires."
"Perhaps my death can serve as a warning to you, allowing you to avoid some traps in the future."
"Of course, it's also possible that you won't take my words seriously and continue to make the same mistakes I made."
After giving this piece of advice, Ningguang took a deep breath and said with complete resignation, "Okay, I've said everything I wanted to say. Now, go ahead. I accept defeat."
Shao Yun looked at Ningguang with mixed feelings. What was going on?
In the end, Shao Yun made up his mind.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and turned his head to the side, not wanting to see Ningguang's appearance before she died.
"Ah... Goodbye..."
Shao Yun thought in his mind for five seconds and finally pulled the trigger.
As Shao Yun pulled the trigger, a deafening gunshot pierced the quiet night sky, instantly disturbing all the sleeping creatures nearby.
The birds in the trees flapped their wings in fear and flew away; the animals in the forest were suddenly awakened from their slumber and fled in all directions.
As the gunshots faded, everything returned to silence...
……
Shao Yun opened his eyes and was about to use Ningguang to collect the body, but suddenly he found that Ningguang, who was originally tied tightly to the chair by him, disappeared without a trace!
Shao Yun widened his eyes, staring in disbelief at the place where Ningguang was supposed to be, tied to a chair.
How come both the person and the chair disappeared!
Shao Yun couldn't help but wonder if he was still in Xumi, and if Nashida had cast a spell on him! Was this a dream?
"What! Where's Ningguang?"
Just when Shao Yun was dumbfounded, Zhongli's low and steady voice came from behind him.
"Mr. Shao Yun, I should have said that as long as you don't threaten Liyue, we will not interfere with each other. But killing Ningguang is too much!"
When Shao Yun heard the voice, his body shook violently. He immediately turned around and pointed the muzzle of the gun in his hand at the source of the voice.
"You think I'm going too far? Morax, do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
At this time, Zhongli activated his shield and stood steadily in front of Shao Yun, exuding a majesty that could not be ignored.
Zhongli looked at Shao Yun and said slowly, "If Ningguang died suddenly and inexplicably, Liyue would be shaken politically."
“By then, all of Liyue will go crazy fighting for the wealth left by Ningguang. I don’t want to see Liyue, which has just entered the human rule, destroyed by the greed in people’s hearts.”
Shao Yun was still hesitating whether to really kill Ningguang, but now he regrets it. He regrets that he did not act decisively last night.
He clenched his teeth, his emotions completely out of control, and shouted hysterically: "Ningguang threatens Ying! She must die!"
When Zhongli heard Shao Yun say that Ningguang threatened Ying, he immediately told him about Ningguang's behavior that he had observed in the past few days.
"How did she threaten Ying? I only saw that she let you live in Qun Yu Pavilion, provided you with rich food and comfortable accommodation, and helped you win a good reputation in Fontaine. How did she threaten Ying?"
Shao Yun explained the reasons one by one.
"I have warned her before not to have any bad thoughts towards me. Before I decided to kill her, I warned her more than once. I hope she can understand what I mean."
"But she didn't listen at all! So I had no choice but to take this approach. She still had a chance, but her desire ultimately ruined her!"
Zhongli was silent for a moment, then continued to ask: "Then why didn't you just reject her directly? Since you already knew her intentions, why did you agree to her request?"
Shao Yun repeated his reasons and said, "Because I have already said it before! But she never learned her lesson and didn't take my words seriously at all."
"Before I did it, she actually had a chance to regret it! I even warned her about it! However..."
Zhongli advised: "Everyone makes mistakes..."
Shao Yun refuted fiercely: "But if you make a mistake, you must be punished!"
Seeing this, Zhongli immediately asked back: "What about the mistakes you made yourself? Why haven't you received the punishment you deserve yet?"
Facing Zhongli's questioning, Shao Yun did not argue with him. He just responded calmly: "We have all been cursed by the devil! Morax."
"This is the punishment we are suffering now! After we die, our souls will be imprisoned in hell; and I will be in the seventh level of hell, enduring endless torture!"
Seeing that Shao Yun was so stubborn and refused to change his mind, Zhongli had to resort to his last resort and use Ying to "semi-threaten" Shao Yun.
"I know you are very angry now, but it is better for us in Liyue to handle the matter ourselves."
"I promise you that I will give you a satisfactory explanation. So, you should go back to the Jade Pavilion and accompany Ying."
Shao Yun was a little surprised when Zhongli suddenly mentioned Ying. He quickly asked, "Ying? Zhongli, what do you mean?"
Zhongli pointed in the direction of Liyue Harbor and said softly, "Ying went to the Jade Pavilion to look for you. Are you sure you don't want to go look for her?"
Although his voice was calm, it seemed to contain some deep meaning.
When Shao Yun heard this, his heart suddenly tightened and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.
He stared at Zhongli with wide eyes and said sternly: "You'd better not do anything to Ying!"
Seeing this, Zhongli was not intimidated by Shao Yun's momentum. Instead, he calmly pointed to the place where Ningguang disappeared and said slowly: "As long as this matter ends here, we can discuss everything."
Shao Yun was so angry that his face turned blue. He took two deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.
Then he slowly put away the M1899 pistol in his hand. It was a difficult decision.
Finally, he whistled and left a piece of advice.
"If anything happens to Ying, I swear, you'll really have to retire!"
Zhongli naturally understood.
"I'm sorry...but I have no choice."
A crisp sound of horse hooves came from far away, and the Andalusian horse "Luo Bo" came!
Shao Yun turned over and jumped onto the horse's back. He clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and "Lobo" immediately galloped towards Liyue Harbor.
Watching Shao Yun walking away, Zhongli finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then a dark green figure flashed by.
Xiao looked at Zhongli and felt relieved. He said softly, "Emperor..."
The shield barrier around Zhongli dissipated, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao, go and call the other immortals over. We need to discuss how to deal with Ningguang."
……
At the same time, in another place, Xiao had just rescued Ningguang, and he rushed to where Zhongli was to support him.
The rescued Ningguang was left alone and unattended.
In this desolate wilderness, except for the occasional sound of wind, there is deathly silence.
At this moment, fate seemed to have no intention of letting her go.
A few unlucky members of the treasure-stealing group happened to pass by here.
The leader of this small group is a burly man with a face full of flesh.
As he walked, he kept complaining, "Oh, the Qianyan Army has been checking really closely lately, so there's no way I can open my shop! I don't know if I can find any treasures at this place I'm scouting today!"
Just as he was chattering, a member of the treasure-hunting team who was walking in front to explore the way suddenly let out a scream.
"Hey! Wait a minute, there seems to be someone over there!"
This shout scared the leader of the treasure-stealing group to death.
His face changed drastically and he slipped into the bushes beside him, muttering something.
"Hide, hide quickly!"
The treasure-hunting team members who were walking in front to explore the way narrowed their eyes and carefully looked at the scene ahead.
After a while, he pointed ahead in surprise and shouted, "Isn't this Ningguang from Tianquanxing? How come she is here in this desolate wilderness?"
He rubbed his eyes and confirmed again that the person in front of him was Ningguang, then noticed a key detail.
"Wait a minute, look, Ningguang is tied to a chair!"
This discovery made the leader of the treasure-hunting group hiding in the bushes carefully stick his head out and look in the direction pointed by the scouting member.
As expected, Ningguang was tied tightly to a chair, unable to move.
Seeing this, the leader of the treasure-stealing group suddenly became bolder. He whispered to his accomplices beside him, "It's true! Let's go up and take a look."
After saying that, he led several other members of the treasure-stealing group towards Ningguang.
