Chapter 1264 Ningguang's performance was good
Shao Yun watched the figure of the Extreme Evil Rider completely disappear outside the ranch, then looked at the "fake" Gan Yu who was helping to tidy up the living room. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked:
"Should I thank you? If you hadn't intervened, we might have already started fighting. And why did you help me?"
Upon hearing this, Gan Yu stopped what she was doing, pointed to the fresh deer carcass at the door, and gestured for Shao Yun to quickly deal with this pile of "garbage" while responding casually.
"No need for thanks. I'm not helping you on purpose. I just want to see who is stronger, you as the 'Legend of Apocalypse' or the Extreme Evil Knight who has returned to normal."
"After all, a battle between strong individuals of this caliber is not something you can see every day."
Upon hearing that the "fake" Gan Yu's help was merely to watch a "boring gladiator spectacle," Shao Yun's lips twitched. He then suddenly changed the subject, asking:
"According to you, if I fight him, I'll definitely kill him in the end, right?"
Hearing Shao Yun's lack of confidence, the "fake" Gan Yu revealed an undisguised look of disdain on her face and said sarcastically, "Looks like you ignored everything I said to you before?"
She paused, her mocking expression vanishing, and then, as if struck by great kindness, reminded him: "You walk in His ways, by His authority. His only way out is if you suddenly show great mercy and let him go."
Hearing the words of the "fake" Gan Yu, Shao Yun simply replied casually, "Okay, thank you for your kind words."
Seeing that Shao Yun still spoke in such a lukewarm tone, Gan Yu was immediately furious. She crossed her arms, raised an eyebrow, and said sarcastically:
"Have you been herding cattle for too long and ruined your brain? You have no confidence at all, what kind of person are you? I'm waiting for you to put on a perfect duel performance."
Upon hearing that the "fake" Gan Yu wanted to see his confident side, Shao Yun went along with her, suddenly pointing to the bathroom next to the living room, adopting a "master" posture, and commanding:
"Alright then, since you want to see my confident side, then bring me a basin of water to wash my feet now, so I can experience the treatment a 'strong person' should receive."
"Fake" Gan Yu rolled her eyes at Shao Yun's increasingly presumptuous behavior.
This isn't confidence, it's clearly taking advantage of someone's kindness!
However, she also knew that Shao Yun was joking with her. If she actually obediently went to fetch water to wash her feet, he would be unhappy.
"You want me to wash your feet? You're dreaming!"
"Fake" Gan Yu said irritably, "Let your 'female slave' Ningguang wash you. I don't have time to serve you. I'm going to sunbathe in the yard. Don't bother me."
After saying that, she ignored Shao Yun's reaction and turned to walk out of the room.
……
Shao Yun didn't have time to deal with the deer's carcass, so he simply handed it over to the code (system) and asked it to handle it.
After dealing with the deer carcass, Shao Yun turned and headed upstairs.
At this moment, Ningguang, Shenhe, and Silky, who had been turned into a human stick, were all in the nursery.
Baby Xi sat in her crib, waving her little hands. Seeing so many people surrounding her, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
This child isn't shy at all; in fact, the more people there are, the happier he is.
The little one, who is seven or eight months old, can already sit up steadily on his own. He will occasionally spin around in his crib, and sometimes he will put his belly on the ground and use his chubby arms to drag his body forward a little bit.
It's clearly showing signs of crawling, and it looks incredibly cute.
It was precisely because of this crisp laughter that the heavy atmosphere inside the room, which had been caused by the threat of the extremely vicious rider, dissipated considerably, and became more warm and cozy, no longer making people feel as desperate as before.
Shen He stood beside the crib, holding a colorful rattle in his hand, gently shaking it, making the baby giggle.
With a gentle smile on her face and eyes full of doting affection, she was completely different from the coldness she had shown when confronting the vicious knight. At this moment, she was just a "godmother" who was trying to coax the child.
The limbless Skok lay on the small bed where Shen He usually rested, covered with a soft blanket, her eyes closed, seemingly resting.
However, judging from her slightly relaxed brow, the baby's laughter had clearly eased her tense nerves considerably.
Only Ningguang stood near the door, staring at it with a worried expression, her hands clenched tightly, her eyes full of vigilance.
Clearly, she hadn't fully recovered from the morning's crisis and was still prepared.
If the extremely vicious riders suddenly break in, she will immediately fight to the death to buy time for Shen He to escape with the baby.
Just then, the door handle suddenly turned.
The people inside immediately became alert.
But when the door was pushed open, it was Shao Yun who walked in.
The four people in the room immediately focused their attention on him, staring at each other with wide eyes, creating an awkward moment.
Baby Xi was the first to react. When she saw that it was her father, she immediately opened her arms excitedly, clearly wanting her father to hug her.
However, Shao Yun was still wearing the "Legend of Apocalypse" outfit, which was dirty and not suitable for holding a baby at all.
He could only shrug helplessly, shake his head at the baby, and mouth, "Daddy's dirty, I can't hold Xixi."
When Xi saw that her father wasn't holding her, the smile on her face vanished instantly, her little mouth drooped slightly, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Seeing this, Shen He quickly took the baby into his arms, gently patted her back, and softly comforted her in a gentle voice.
"Daddy, be good. Daddy isn't refusing to hold you, it's just that Daddy's dirty. I'll hold you once I'm clean. Look, how about Godmother holds you?"
"Alright, the alarm is off." Shao Yun looked at the people inside the room, waved his hand, and indicated that everyone didn't need to be so tense.
"The Evil Riders have left and won't be back anytime soon."
Lying on the bed, Silky turned her head to look at the unharmed Shao Yun, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Shao Yun and softly voiced her earlier guess.
"I thought my master would start fighting with you right there in the house..."
Shao Yun shook his head. Although the scene that Silky described almost happened, it ended peacefully in the end.
“They haven’t started fighting yet. He came to me earlier, not to fight, but to recruit me to ‘conquer the universe’ with him, which basically means to destroy other worlds together.”
"Recruit you?" Upon hearing this, Skork's previously relieved heart instantly jumped again.
She pressed on urgently, "So you're not going to agree? If you go with him, what will happen to Teyvat... your family?"
Shao Yun chuckled, his tone nonchalant, but his eyes unconsciously drifted to the baby in Shen He's arms.
“My children are here, how could I possibly agree to that? Forget about conquering the universe, I don’t even care about becoming some kind of ‘cosmic overlord’.”
"The era of murder and arson is over."
When Silky saw that Shao Yun did not agree, he was completely relieved.
But a few seconds later, a new confusion arose in my mind.
"Then how could my master be so easily persuaded by you? Given his personality, even if you didn't agree, he wouldn't just let it go like that."
Shao Yun scratched his neck, a slightly uncomfortable expression on his face.
Let's not talk about the "fake" Gan Yu anymore...
"He wasn't persuaded to leave by me; he suggested leaving on his own. However, he left a message saying he would come back to see me in a week so I could make a new decision."
He paused for a moment, but still truthfully relayed the threat from the extremely vicious rider:
He also said he'd fight me in a week. If I lost, I'd have to join some kind of 'Cosmic Calamity' and conquer the universe with him. If I didn't agree, he'd…”
Shao Yun didn't finish his sentence, but everyone in the room understood what he meant.
The extremely vicious knight will inevitably target his family, forcing him to submit.
After hearing this, Skirk's mood was like a rollercoaster ride; it was like trying to solve one problem only to have another pop up!
She looked at Shao Yun, her heart filled with despair, and said, "It's over. Once my master sets a goal, he will never give up."
"In the final battle a week from now, you're no match for him. He's stronger than you think!"
"You should take your family and run! Run as far away as you can, find a place where he can't find you and hide! Don't even think about confronting him head-on, that's just suicide!"
Seeing that Silky looked certain he would lose, Shao Yun opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Now, no matter how confident he is, Skykirk probably won't believe him, after all, the intimidating power of the Evil Riders in her mind is too strong.
Instead of arguing about who won or lost, let's change the subject and ease the heavy atmosphere in the room.
He pointed to her empty limbs.
"You're already in this state, so save your energy trying to persuade me to run away... By the way, what about your hands and feet? You can't stay like this forever, can you?"
When Silky heard Shao Yun asking about her injuries, she subconsciously glanced at Shen He, who was playing with the child.
Shen He is a disciple of the immortals of Liyue. In her eyes, the power of the abyss is no different from that of demons. If she knew that her hands and feet were formed from the power of the abyss, she would be furious.
If someone just says "evil spirits begone"... that would be too abstract!
So, Skykirk vaguely explained, "It's okay, I'll rest for a few days and then figure out how to recover. There's no rush now."
Shao Yun followed Silky's gaze and saw Shen He putting the baby back into the crib.
He instantly understood Skykirk's concerns; indeed, now was not a good time to discuss the power of the Abyss in front of her.
