Chapter 717 Ying had a nightmare again.
Shao Yun was riding a horse, the sound of horse hooves echoing on the road, while Ningguang, who had survived the disaster, sat quietly behind him.
This is not because Shao Yun has any special care for Ningguang, but because he no longer regards Ningguang as a human being.
In fact, if possible, Shao Yun even wanted to tie Ningguang's hands with a rope and drag her away.
Ningguang originally thought that Shao Yun would never come back to see her again. When she saw Shao Yun appear in front of her on horseback, she couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in her heart.
She looked very lonely, but she didn't dare to overstep her bounds. She just said softly, "Thank you..."
When Shao Yun heard Ningguang's voice, he felt like killing her eight times in one second.
"If you say one more word, I will really kill you!"
Ningguang never expected that her life-saving plan would actually save her life in the end. She didn't know whether it was out of guilt or the hope of reconciling with Shao Yun.
Ningguang looked indifferent as she continued, "Whatever, I still want to say that I will increase my investment in Fontaine. I..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted viciously by Shao Yun.
"That's enough! Nothing you've done will earn my pity! You've ruined everything between you and me! Such a perfect plan, but it's all ruined because of your ambition! You deserve to die!"
A sad smile appeared on Ningguang's face, revealing endless sadness and despair.
"I just feel guilty..."
Shao Yun interrupted her again mercilessly and shouted angrily: "You are not feeling guilty, you are regretting! Now shut up!"
Ningguang realized that she and Shao Yun couldn't even maintain a financial relationship, so she said regretfully, "Whatever you say, thank you."
……
Shao Yun took her all the way to the Qun Yu Pavilion.
When Ningguang was about to walk into the room, Shao Yun suddenly and roughly pushed her in, cursing, "Get in! I'll take Ying to Fontaine tomorrow. Enjoy your last peaceful time!"
After saying this, Shao Yun didn't even give Ningguang a chance to respond before slamming the door shut.
The loud slam of the door echoed in the empty corridor, signaling that everything was over.
Ningguang stood in the room, listening to Shao Yun's footsteps gradually fading away outside the door, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She walked slowly to the bed, sat down, and tears flowed from her eyes like a flood.
……
At this time, Shao Yun was standing at the door of his bedroom.
Shao Yun slowly pushed open the bedroom door, and the door hinges creaked slightly.
Just as Zhongli said, Ying came to Qun Yu Pavilion from Bubu Lu and was waiting for him in her room.
Sure enough, when Shao Yun stepped into the room, he saw Ying sitting in front of the bed, looking at him.
Ying showed that familiar silly smile on her face and said, "Shao Yun, you're back?"
Shao Yun walked quickly to the bedside and asked with concern: "Ying, how is your morning sickness? Is it getting better?"
Ying smiled and nodded, then patted the edge of the bed, motioning Shao Yun to sit down.
"Sit down, don't stand all the time."
Shao Yun nodded obediently and sat on the edge of the bed, close to Ying.
He was about to tell Ying what happened, but at this moment, Ying suddenly reached out and covered his mouth.
"Don't talk yet, listen to me."
Seeing this, Shao Yun immediately calmed down.
Ying took a deep breath and slowly began to recount the nightmare she had just had in Bubu Lu.
"Just now, when I was sleeping in Bubulu, I suddenly had a nightmare."
"I dreamed that I was pregnant, and you hugged Ningguang, touched her belly and said, you don't love me anymore, you plan to be with Ningguang..."
Seeing Ying having such a nightmare, Shao Yun quickly reached out and held Ying's hand tightly, comforting her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's just a dream, I didn't really do that..."
Ying shook her head gently, interrupting him, and continued: "No, listen to me..."
Seeing this, Shao Yun stopped talking and listened quietly to Ying telling her dream.
Ying took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then continued: "In the dream, when I was about to cry, suddenly, you took out a dagger and stabbed Ningguang's neck."
"Then, you began to frantically cut off Ningguang's flesh with a dagger. In the end, you were covered in blood. Like Paimon eating a meal, you gnawed Ningguang until only a skeleton was left..."
When Shao Yun heard this, his expression became very strange, and he stammered, "No way, you dreamed of me eating people? Ying, why do I have such a crazy image in your mind?"
"At most I would kill Ningguang and bury her in a deserted place. I would never eat people like in your dream!"
Ying was not surprised by Shao Yun's reaction. She just leaned her head gently on Shao Yun's shoulder and spoke in a calm tone.
"Dreams are always bizarre, aren't they? Sometimes, we see things in our dreams that are simply impossible to happen in reality."
After listening to Ying's words, Shao Yun nodded thoughtfully and replied, "Maybe..."
After Ying finished telling her dream, she took a deep breath, then looked at Shao Yun and said with a smile: "Okay, it's your turn. What do you want to say?"
Shao Yun hesitated for a moment, organizing his thoughts.
He told her everything that had happened from yesterday to just now, including how Ningguang seduced him and his inner anger, and how Zhongli came to the rescue and sent Ningguang back to the room.
After listening to Shao Yun's narration, Ying frowned slightly and asked the same question as Zhongli.
"Actually, when Ningguang tried to seduce you, couldn't you just refuse?"
Shao Yun's face looked a little ugly. He clenched his fists and said angrily: "I don't know why, I was really angry at that time!"
"I clearly warned Ningguang, but she didn't take my words seriously at all. This is unbearable! Since she is so blind, she must pay the price for this!"
Ying looked at Shao Yun's clenched fists and felt his anger.
She sighed softly and suggested, "Shao Yun, I understand how you feel, but when faced with a problem, if there is a better way to solve it, we shouldn't always think about exacerbating the problem, what do you think?"
Shao Yun was silent for a moment, and his fist slowly unclenched.
Ying continued, "I see that you love me very much, which makes me very happy. But I don't want you to prove your love to me in such an extreme way as killing someone."
"You could have handled it with a gentle attitude like you did with Noelle, or you could have been more serious and just scared her a bit like you did with Kamisato Ayaka."
When Shao Yun heard Ying asking him to treat Ningguang like he treated Noelle or Kamisato Ayaka, his brows immediately furrowed tightly and he retorted:
"Noelle is just a simple child, and Kamisato Ayaka, she just has no political experience and is a little stupid in her thinking, but she won't die."
"But Ningguang is not! She is very shrewd, and she threatens you."
Seeing that her persuasion was ineffective, Ying turned to the word "threat" in Shao Yun's words, her face darkened slightly, and she pretended to be angry and asked:
"So, according to what you said, Ningguang threatens my position in your heart? In other words, you are attracted to her, right?"
Shao Yun had never expected Ying to understand his words so well, and he quickly waved his hands to explain: “No, no, no, that’s definitely not what I meant!”
"I am just very angry about Ningguang's behavior. She is so arrogant that she dares to challenge your position in my heart. I must teach her a severe lesson and let her know how powerful I am!"
Ying looked at Shao Yun's anxious expression and immediately said, "But Ningguang has already received the punishment she deserved, hasn't she?"
"You have decided not to support her anymore, and the immortals in Liyue will no longer treat her well. Isn't that enough?"
"Let Liyue handle Liyue's affairs. What we should think about now is what we should do. Isn't the baby in my belly something you've always been concerned about?"
When Shao Yun saw Ying using his own words to lecture him, he didn't know how to refute for a moment.
"I……"
Ying didn't dare to let Shao Yun think any more, so she grabbed his hand and advised, "Tomorrow we'll say goodbye to Shen He, and then go back to Fontaine! That's it."
When he heard that Ying wanted to go back to Fengdan immediately, Shao Yun nodded and agreed, saying, "Okay... let's go to Bubu Lu now. I can't stay in Qun Yu Pavilion for even a second."
Ying nodded and said, "Okay."
Shao Yun was just about to help Ying up when he suddenly remembered that he had not given Ying his new weapon yet!
"Oh, by the way, Ying, let me give you a weapon." As he said that, Shao Yun took out another brand new, unused M1899 pistol from his backpack.
Ying looked at the new weapons Shao Yun gave her, her eyes widened, and she asked curiously: "Shao Yun, I have always had a question. Where did all these weapons come from?"
Seeing Ying was so curious about his weapon, Shao Yun felt guilty and said, "Uh... well, I actually bought it from a kind-hearted Nata craftsman."
Ying's eyes widened when she heard this, and she asked, "What? Are you sure? A kind-hearted Nata craftsman? When did you go to Nata without telling me?"
"I heard from Wendy before that the Nata people who recently appeared outside of Nata seemed to be Vanessa from more than a thousand years ago, and she also appeared in Mond..."
Shao Yun was somewhat speechless after being asked by Ying. He hesitantly explained, "Uh... this... is actually like this. I rubbed it with my hands."
The more Ying listened, the more she felt that Shao Yun's words were full of loopholes, so she interrupted Shao Yun.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore, and stop making up stories!"
When Shao Yun realized that his lie had been discovered, he scratched his head in embarrassment and quickly waved his hands.
"After we return to Fontaine, I will teach you how to use this new gun, okay? The most urgent thing now is to leave this damn place first!"
