Chapter 746 Heading to Fontaine
I don’t know if it was because he inhaled the bitter fragrance of yellow millet during the day, but the Yaksha, who had been dreamless for a long time, had a dream.
The regular sound of water, the slight feeling of movement, he was lying on a bamboo raft, drifting with the gentle waves.
Xiao opened his eyes and saw the overlapping shadows of leaves nearby and the starry sky in the sky.
The wind blew through the raised lotus leaves, and the crowded lotus leaves made a slight rubbing sound. Stars of light flew out from them, and the light of fireflies slightly illuminated a corner of the lotus pond.
It was a peaceful and leisurely scene.
As Xiao was thinking this, the Hepu Kite appeared in his hand.
According to his experience, the most dangerous places in dreams are often these seemingly gentle and peaceful places.
Perhaps the dream had clouded his perception. It took him two seconds to realize that there was another person alive besides himself, and he had to deal with him as soon as possible...
"Hmm..." The being who was resting on Xiao's right rubbed his sleepy eyes, "Why are you suddenly so murderous? Are you having a nightmare again?"
"I don't think your heart is being pressed down. There are so many sharp objects on your left side, such as the shoulder armor and the mask. It's not convenient to listen to your heartbeat."
The girl sat up while mumbling a complaint, half-closed her sleepy eyelids and pushed Xiao's necklace aside, then smoothed his chest, "Nightmare Fly, Nightmare Fly, turn into ash together with the Dream Demon~"
The young immortal was stunned, and reached out to grab the girl's hand that was caressing his chest, "Su?"
The girl tilted her head, "What? Don't you recognize me?" Was Xiao half asleep? He suddenly called her name in such an uncertain tone.
Xiao used magic to light a gauze lantern next to him, and looked carefully at the girl beside him in the dim, swaying light.
The girl was wearing a long pink and green skirt in the style of ancient Liyue, with a gauze shirt with wide sleeves on the outside. Her long satin hair was loose in her sleep and fell down like running water.
On the girl's familiar face, there was a pink petal-like divine pattern on her forehead.
Xiao looked at Su.
Su looked at Xiao.
The two stared at each other with big eyes.
"Sure enough... it was just a dream." Xiao let go of the girl's hand and prepared to hold the Hepu Yuan again.
Is it the result of karma, or the remnant of evil thoughts?
Whatever had read his vague expectations and turned them into this, he was not going to indulge in the dream.
Xiao felt a pain on his cheek. It was the angry girl who pinched his face hard.
"Are you awake from your dream?" The girl's brief tenderness disappeared without a trace, and she said in an evil voice: "If you are still not awake, I will give you another lump!"
Xiao felt that he had lost control of his body. He naturally reached out and pulled the girl into his arms, lowering his head to her neck.
elf:!
Feeling the desire to bite rising in his heart, Xiao's eyes widened instantly.
The girl snuggled in Xiao's arms, adjusting herself into the most comfortable position with ease, and threatened him in a delicate voice.
"You scared me again. If you scare me again, I'll beat you up and go play with Liuyun. I won't be back for a month!"
Xiao heard "him" laugh, and his breath and lips were close to the skin of the girl's neck when he spoke.
Shocked by this overly intimate and ambiguous touch, Xiao's consciousness was simply unable to pay attention to and distinguish what "he" said.
But the girl seemed to be easily coaxed. She giggled and patted "him" twice, then moved a little further away, tilted her face up and closed her eyes.
Su: "Well, to be fair, I'll pull it back for you, but only once."
Xiao felt "his" hand caressing the girl's face, then he slightly turned his face and leaned closer to the girl's lips.
elf:!!!!!
She said "tug it" not "squeeze it"! How could this guy be so cunning and not know what self-discipline and propriety mean?!
The shocking impact on his mind and body made the dream freeze at this moment. Xiao's consciousness quickly rose to the starry sky, and the light became brighter and brighter.
In the moment before waking up, Xiao saw clearly two long-haired figures snuggling together on the bamboo raft in the lotus pond that was reflected by the starry sky.
Xiao woke up from his dream and sat up in shock, his heart beating wildly, and it took him a long time to gradually calm down.
Xiao found that his complex and indescribable emotions were mixed with regret and envy because of the unfinished kiss, and his emotions became even more complicated.
——*——*——
The Traveler Team has boarded the ship and is ready to set off, but Xiao did not come to see them off this time.
Su was a little disappointed. "Sure enough, Shenyu Valley is not a good place for Xiao..."
Paimeng was puzzled, "Why?" Is there any plot that she doesn't know?
Sora: "There's nothing for us to guess. By the way, Paimon, did you buy the candied fruit to prevent seasickness?"
"I've been prepared for a long time!" Paimeng, who was easily diverted from the topic, took out her full set of preparations, "Sour candied fruit, cooling cream, wet towels and vomit bags are all ready. I'm always ready to face the challenge of seasick Sue!"
Su pushed the thick bag aside with disdain, "I am no longer the weak person I once was! I don't need this kind of thing."
After the ship sailing to Fontaine had been moving for a while, the passengers on the deck exclaimed in surprise and delight.
"What are those? Fallen leaves? They look like butterflies!"
"How romantic! Which girl is sending her lover a message?"
"It might be the immortals who are blessing us from the clouds!"
……
The group of travelers turned their heads together and saw that the wind from high above brought down leaf butterflies like rain.
The leaves come in many colors, and countless leaf butterflies form a gorgeous storm.
Following the direction from which the leaf butterfly came, Su suddenly seemed to meet another pair of golden eyes in the clouds on the high mountains.
"So many?!" Paimon was shocked by the sky full of leaf butterflies. "It seems that Xiao really likes to make handicrafts."
Kong reached out and caught a pink leaf butterfly. "This is really Xiao's style..."
The gentleness that Xiao occasionally reveals is just the tip of the iceberg; what he says is not even one-tenth of what he hides.
He hid more of his emotions, but they exploded like fireworks at a certain moment when he could no longer bear it.
——*——*——
The long-distance ship sailed for a day and sailed out of Liyue. The closer it got to Fontaine, the greater the height difference and the resistance brought by the water flow. The noise from the ship running at full speed annoyed Su very much.
The captain received the message from Fontaine port via the telegraph and announced the next itinerary to the passengers at dinner time.
"What?! What do you mean we have to stay on the ship for 7-15 days due to force majeure?! Isn't it only three days to sail from Liyue to Fontaine?!"
Su was going crazy, holding his head and screaming.
Sora patted the girl's back and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Paimon has already gone to find out the situation."
Paimon came back after getting the news, looking helpless, "The captain explained a lot to me, using a lot of difficult terms."
"To put it simply, it seems that some important person is traveling to Fontaine. For safety management, the port customs conducted strict inspections, resulting in the detention of cargo ships and passengers."
The port of Roudeng is already expediting the review and customs clearance, but Fontaine's efficiency... is notoriously slow throughout the entire continent of Teyvat.
