Chapter 800: The story along the way
Afterwards, Shao Yun and Mavica drank the fruit wine in big gulps.
As soon as the fruit wine went down his throat, Shao Yun smacked his lips.
This is called wine, but in fact, compared with low-alcohol fermented juice, it can even be said that it does not feel like wine at all.
After drinking a few bottles of wine, Mavica wiped her lips with the back of her hand, and said seemingly casually, but deliberately: "By the way, I remember that lady named Alice said something. You and your wife have a companion named Paimon."
"I'm very curious, can you tell me the story of your journey?"
Shao Yun put down the bottle in his hand, looked at Mavica, then snorted coldly and said, "Sure enough, using drinking as an excuse to get information. It's the same old trick."
Seeing Shao Yun looked annoyed, Mavica thought that Shao Yun didn't want to talk, so she quickly changed the subject.
"We're just drinking and trying to find some topics to talk about. Drinking alone is boring, but if you don't want to talk, that's fine."
Shao Yun sighed and agreed to Mavica's request. After all, he should be grateful to the person who brought him the food and lodging, and besides, he could just talk about it.
"Forget it, since you want to know, it's okay to tell you."
Then, Shao Yun drank the wine in the wooden glass in one gulp and began to tell his story.
"Ying and I met on the beach of the Falling Star Valley in Mondstadt. I don't know how I ended up there. Maybe it was because I was on a ship heading to Cuba and encountered a shipwreck, haha..."
……
Shao Yun told Mavica everything that happened between him, Ying, and Paimon in Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Xumi, and Fontaine without reservation.
At the end, Shao Yun recounted the story of how he was kidnapped in Mond before coming to Nata in order to rescue Wendy.
"Finally, I burned down Mondstadt's West Wind Cathedral and smashed the statue. Finally, just when I was about to chop down Vanessa's tree, the Wind God sent a message to me, threatening my wife and children to help you through the crisis of the abyss. This is my story."
After listening to Shao Yun's story during this period, Mavica summarized it and asked him a question.
"How did it turn out like this... I don't understand why, how should I put it, why was everything fine at the beginning, but ended up being so bloody and violent. Except for the Water God..."
"Although the Thunder God was indeed a bit 'extreme' and hurt your wife, when you first started, your relationships with the Wind God, Rock God, and Grass God were pretty good. Why did they all fall apart in the end?"
Shao Yun shook his head. He didn’t know why. Maybe this was a “curse”?
"Maybe I'm cursed? Or, I didn't act according to the plans of those demons? Is everything a conspiracy to use Ying? You want the horse to run fast, but you don't want to feed the horse with grass?"
After hearing Shao Yun's comments, Mavica didn't know how to respond.
The two were silent for a while.
During this time, Mavica drank a few more bottles and told him the plan in her mind.
"Mr. Shao Yun, how about this? After the Return to Fire Holy Night Tour is over, I will write you a letter in my own handwriting, asking you to rescue your wife and children from the hands of the Wind God."
"Wait until your wife and children return to you safely, then we will discuss this matter."
"Don't worry, if you don't want to help Nata, I won't force you. Just think of coming to Nata as a vacation."
"But if you really want to help Nata through this difficult time, I will show my due sincerity. What do you think?"
Shao Yun blinked, seemingly not understanding what Mavica meant.
Seeing that Shao Yun didn't understand, Mavica briefly explained what she had just said and said, "In short, I hope that we can have an equal cooperative relationship."
"Instead of this, how should I put it, this kind of forced partnership, I can now see the reluctance in your heart."
"To be honest, even without the help of your wife's power to purify the abyss, we Nata have to find a way to get through this difficult time on our own, right?"
Although Mavica had good intentions and safe intentions, she still did not understand the current relationship between Shao Yun and Fengshen.
To put it bluntly, if Feng Shen returns Ying, Paimeng and his daughter to him, Shao Yun will kill Feng Shen in the next second!
After that, he really didn't care about Nata's affairs anymore.
The God of Wind also understood this, so he could not turn back and could only go down this path to the end.
Shao Yun waved his hand and said to Mavica out of rational thinking: "Believe me, Barbatos will not care about your face."
"His request is that I save Nata. Not to mention your handwritten letter, even if you go to find Barbatos in person, he won't agree."
"Besides, Ying has only given birth to the baby for less than a month. Even if she wants to help, her body won't allow it. I won't allow it either, and her brother won't allow it either."
After listening to Shao Yun's rational analysis, Mavica fell silent for a while.
"This……"
Shao Yun looked at Mavica's thoughtful expression and continued, "Also, you said that I was reluctant to help you. Indeed, I am very reluctant."
"I also know that you are afraid that I am helping you because I am threatened by others, and I am not sincere..."
"But, things have come to this point, and I need to work hard for my family. Whether you are worried or not, I must help you get through this difficult time, and then... let's talk about what happens next later."
Having said that, Shao Yun was in no mood to talk anymore, so he opened another bottle of wine for himself and said, "Okay, that's all I have to say, cheers..."
Mavica looked at Shao Yun and raised the bottle of wine, saying, "Okay, cheers..."
……
After an unknown amount of time, under the cover of night, a woman riding on a pillow arrived at her secret hot air balloon base.
When she opened the box with great joy, she found that all her hidden green honey plum wine had disappeared!
"Hey! No, where's my wine!!! Not a single bottle left, which bastard stole it?"
……
At the same time, Mavica, who was already a little tipsy, opened her mouth and sneezed loudly.
"A-choo! Mr. Shao Yun, you can really drink. I'm a little drunk, but you still look energetic."
Shao Yun watched himself drink more than a dozen bottles of fruit wine, and apart from a bloated stomach, he didn't feel anything else.
"This fruit wine doesn't have much alcohol... I thought I was drinking juice. Is it because of the legendary wolf heart ornament?"
Mavica didn't know whether she was really drunk or just pretending to be drunk, so she said, "I feel like I need to rest. You should rest early too."
Seeing that the other party had ordered him to leave, and considering that it was getting late, Shao Yun got up and said goodbye.
"Okay, and remember, I'm here to help, not to really travel. Even though I'm forced to do this, if you need any help, just let me know."
Mavica nodded and said, "I understand. We will discuss this matter after the Nightwatch War is over."
Shao Yun shook his shoulders and casually said, "Okay, and next time I'll buy you some wine, and then you tell me your story, how about that?"
When Mavica heard that Shao Yun wanted to buy her a drink, she said in surprise, "Ah?"
Shao Yun looked at Mavica's surprised expression, nodded as if it was a given, and said, "I'm used to exchanging stories and wine for wine."
Mavica blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "I see. Let's talk about it after the Nightwatch War is over..."
……
The team competition only takes one day, but the individual competition takes a long time.
Shao Yun also sat in the audience seats every day, watching the individual competitions of the Return to Fire Holy Night Parade.
Today, Shao Yun sat in the audience as usual, ready to watch today's game.
Suddenly, an unexpected person came, it was Kinich?
Shao Yun looked at Kinich who was sitting next to him and said in surprise: "Mr. Kinich, why are you here? Are you not going to play anymore?"
Kinich rubbed his wrist, nodded to Shao Yun calmly, and said, "Well... I got injured during the team competition, and I lost two key matches in the individual competition just now."
"Even if I win all the individual matches, I won't be able to make it into the top five. So I just come here to watch the games and heal my injuries."
Shao Yun looked at Kinich's injured wrist and felt sorry for him.
"Pity."
Kinich shook his head calmly and said, "It's not a pity. We are old rivals. It's common for us to win and lose."
A Qiao did not miss the opportunity to criticize Kinich, and took the opportunity to gloat and tease: "Haha, who told you to lock me up at the party a few days ago, now you are getting your comeuppance!
Then, Aqiao twisted his dragon butt and said, "Poor guy, I wish you good luck in the competition every day!"
Kinich looked at the cocky A-Jiao and said coldly, "It seems better for you not to be put in solitary confinement."
When Ajo heard that Kinich was going to put him in solitary confinement again, he shouted helplessly and furiously: "Hey! Show me some respect, I am the great Holy Dragon Kuhule Ajo!"
Shao Yun looked at the noisy Aqiao, seemingly giving Kinich advice, but actually teasing Aqiao, and said:
"I see two little leaf dragons and a big leaf dragon mother over in the House of Ennui. Kinichi, you can hand this noisy little guy over to the 'nursery'."
When Aqiao heard that Shao Yun dared to tease him, he yelled angrily, "Hey! Don't treat the great Holy Dragon Kuhule Aqiao as a small creature like the Leaf-Nesting Dragon!"
Shao Yun raised his eyebrows in a sly manner and said deliberately, "Really? Little A'qiao?"
Ah Qiao shouted helplessly and furiously: "Don't call me young! You old man with a beard!"
Shao Yun's mouth was like poison as he teased, "Little A-Qiao is not as big as Little Niyelong. Little Niyelong snatched away his lunch, so he cried and asked Kinichi for a hug."
"Kiniqi said: It's okay, little A'qiao, you should be thankful that Xiao Niyelong snatched your lunch away instead of eating you for lunch. After all, eating you is a good thing, hahahaha..."
Listening to Shao Yun teasing Aqiao and his loud laughter, Kinich almost couldn't control his expression.
Aqiao listened to Shao Yun's teasing, which was like a rap. Aqiao's face turned red in the blue and black in the red. It seemed that his language center had received an unprecedented blow.
"Ah I!"
