Chapter 1267 Ying: Did you stew human flesh?
Clearly, Dain had followed the scent left behind by the Evil Knight during the day to get here.
He never expected that the sinner who disappeared in Teyvat after the Cataclysm of Kanria would appear in such a seemingly ordinary ranch.
This unexpected situation instantly put Dain on high alert.
He walked toward the house, scanning every corner of the ranch.
The people inside the ranch were still oblivious to the commotion outside and were busily preparing for their meal.
The baby dragon, nestled beside its mother goat in the dragon's den, raised its adorable head, tilted its neck in a silly, innocent way, and stared straight at Dainesreb outside the pasture with its clear, big eyes.
It didn't roar; it just watched quietly, as if observing something new and interesting.
Just a few steps after Dain stepped into the ranch, the surrounding environment suddenly changed!
Just as the Evil Knight encountered when he broke in during the day, a thick fog began to rise rapidly from the ground.
But this time, the fog spread much faster than the Extreme Evil Knight had faced before!
If the fog during the day spreads slowly, the fog at this moment erupts like a volcanic eruption, instantly enveloping the entire ranch completely.
Caught off guard, Day's vision was instantly obscured by the white fog, and she could barely see a few meters in front of her.
He was like an insect that had stumbled into a Venus flytrap, trapped by the sudden thick fog, unable to move forward or backward.
The fog wasn't as cold and damp as I'd imagined; instead, it had a subtle, shroud-like feel when it touched my skin.
Daines Reeb had a bad feeling and looked around warily.
"Why is it foggy? And so quickly... Is it a trap set by the Evil Knights?"
What made him even more nervous was that, in the next second, Dain clearly sensed that a pair of eyes were secretly observing him from within the thick fog.
Just as Dainesreb thought the eyes observing him from the shadows were those of the "Extreme Rider" and was about to order the other party to show itself again, a crisp hoofbeat suddenly came from the depths of the mist.
Tap, tap, tap, the sound grew closer and closer, and a crushing, heavy feeling came over me, as if some enormous creature was breaking through the fog and rushing towards me.
The next second, Apocalypse Horse "died".
The mist composed of souls still lingered beneath its hooves, and its scarlet eyes stared at Dain, just as it had when facing the Extreme Rider—cold yet full of intimidation.
Dain was startled by the sudden appearance of the horse and instinctively took half a step back.
He had never seen such strange horses before, but considering the existence of the Extremely Ferocious Rider, Dain made a judgment without hesitation and said in an unfriendly tone:
"Where did Extreme Evil Knight find this pet? It seems to have some ability, but it's a pity it's with the wrong master."
As he spoke, he adopted a defensive stance towards the "death" of the Apocalypse Horse.
"Since your master doesn't dare to come out, then we'll start by targeting you and see if the Extreme Evil Rider will feel any remorse!"
The Apocalypse Horse "Death" understood Dain's provocation, raised its head and let out a low neigh, and the surrounding soul mist instantly became thicker.
A man and a horse faced off in the thick fog, and the atmosphere became tense.
……
Meanwhile, at the ranch's dining hall...
Just as Ying sat down, Ningguang carried the limbless Skykirk to the dining table and settled her beside her so she could feed her.
There was no other way; the whole family was eating, and they couldn't just let Silkie watch.
But Ying couldn't listen to any of that. When she saw how Silky had lost all four limbs, she jumped up from her chair, her eyes wide, her finger pointing at Silky, her voice trembling.
"Huh? What happened to this girl? Where are her hands and feet? How could she have become like this!"
The sudden turn of events completely panicked Ying. As she stammered incoherently, an extremely bad premonition suddenly surged into her mind.
Her gaze unconsciously swept across the dining table, and when she saw the plate piled high with roasted meat, her throat involuntarily bobbed, and she nervously swallowed.
She turned sharply to look at Shao Yun, who was about to leave, and asked in a trembling voice, "Honey! Wait! The meat for dinner tonight... it's not human flesh, is it?!"
The restaurant fell into an instant silence upon hearing this.
Ningguang's soup spoon fell into the bowl with a "clang," splashing soup everywhere; Shen He's hands, holding baby Xi, froze.
Kong choked on his own saliva and coughed violently.
Even the worldly-wise and self-assured Skykirk couldn't help but roll her eyes, her gaze towards Ying filled with disdain as if to say, "Are you crazy?"
As for Paimon... I'll eat, eat, eat...
Shao Yun was holding a fork, spearing a piece of fragrant roasted meat into his mouth, when he heard Ying say, "Is the meat for dinner tonight human flesh?" He was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.
He put down the grilled meat and looked at Ying with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
"Ahem...Hotaru, have you been secretly reading some horror light novels by Inazuma lately?"
"Can't you be normal for once! When have I ever given you human flesh?!"
Although Ying knew that her guess was completely illogical, the situation at hand was really easy to misinterpret!
After all, there was significantly more meat at dinner than usual, and Ningguang suddenly appeared carrying a limp, human-shaped Skorp...
These two events happening together seem too coincidental to Ying!
"But it's hard not to be misunderstood!"
Shao Yun followed Ying's gaze to Skykirk, only to see Skykirk's completely speechless expression. He instantly understood why Ying had such an absurd misunderstanding.
A strange woman suddenly appears at the dining table, seemingly without limbs, and it just so happens that there's an extra amount of meat at dinner. Looking at it this way, it actually makes some sense!
However, Shao Yun patiently introduced Ying, saying, "Alright, alright, stop overthinking. Ying, this is Skykirk, Tartaglia's master."
He thought that after introducing himself, Ying would understand that it was just a misunderstanding, but to his surprise, Ying gasped when she heard that "Skirk is Tartaglia's master".
Following that, Ying even designed a convertible for Kennedy, which was incredibly imaginative!
She leaned closer to Shao Yun, lowered her voice, and said in shock:
"Huh? Could it be that she came to settle scores with you to avenge 'Young Master,' but you defeated her, so you chopped off her hands and feet, and then... you even turned her hands and feet into roast meat for tonight's dinner?!"
These words caused the restaurant to fall into dead silence once again.
Ningguang was just about to feed Skykirk a spoonful of soup when she heard this and her spoon suddenly stopped in mid-air, almost spilling the soup on Skykirk.
Shen He held the baby Xi, awkwardly patting the baby's back gently, pretending not to hear, and wondering if he should quickly take the baby back to the second floor.
Sora covered her face, looking as if she didn't know this imaginative little sister.
As for Paimon... it's still all about eating, eating, eating...
Seeing that Ying had completely imagined him as an abstract and bizarre being, Shao Yun felt like crying but had no tears left.
He put down his cutlery, spread his hands, and protested, "Wife, we've been together for over three years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
"Even if I were incredibly absurd, I would never do something like cutting off someone's hands and feet or making human flesh barbecue!"
Ying, however, was still a bit persistent. She pouted and muttered to herself, "But... when you confronted those troublemakers before, didn't you often beat them half to death?"
"I'm just worried that one day you might lose control and do something even more outrageous..."
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun rolled her eyes at Ying, utterly speechless.
When my wife does abstract art, she's absolutely unmatched; no one can compare.
He took a deep breath, knowing that explaining further to Ying would be a waste of time, and could only place his hopes on Skykirk.
Shao Yun turned to look at Skykirk and pleaded, "Miss Skykirk, I'm really sorry, but my wife just likes to be abstract. You should explain your injuries to her yourself. Only if you tell her yourself will she truly believe you."
When Silky heard Shao Yun's request, she was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
She looked at Ying and said calmly, "My injuries have nothing to do with Shao Yun... This is what happened..."
Subsequently, Silky testified for Shao Yun that the injuries on her body were not caused by Shao Yun, which dispelled Ying's doubts.
After hearing what Silky said, Ying finally felt completely relieved. So that's how it is…
She patted her chest, let out a long sigh of relief, and her face showed an expression of relief at surviving a disaster.
"Oh, I see! That really scared me. I thought you were being bullied by my husband..."
"I'm so sorry, Miss Skylark. I was just imagining things and said so many outrageous things. Did I scare you?"
Skirk didn't care about this. In the universe, she had seen the kind of things Ying described, like cutting off people's limbs and eating human flesh, with her companion, the Extreme Knight...
Silky shook her head and said calmly, "It's okay, I don't mind."
“When I was traveling in the universe, I saw things that were much more outrageous and bloody than this with my master. What you’ve done is nothing.”
She paused, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes, and added softly, "Besides... I'm the one who should apologize."
Just then, Paimon, who had eaten a large plate of fried dumplings, suddenly tilted his head and stared at Skykirk, his little face full of confusion.
She leaned closer to Skykirk, blinked, and asked, "Even though this is our first meeting, why are you apologizing, Skykirk?"
"You didn't do anything wrong, and we misunderstood you. We're the ones who should apologize!"
Before Skirk could answer, Shao Yun spoke up first.
"Because she feels..."
