Chapter 1154: Drama News Headline
Shao Yun waved towards Yuan Shang who was not far away and said in a loud voice:
"Come on! Yuanshang, I leave this place to you. Lead everyone in having fun and celebrating!"
Then, Shao Yun came close to Kong and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Okay, let's put the celebration behind us. Now we should figure out how to deal with the aftermath. This is a bit tricky."
Kong didn't react for a moment. After hearing Shao Yun's words, he subconsciously nodded repeatedly in agreement:
"Right, right, right. We have to clean up the mess! For this plan to succeed, there must be no mistakes in the follow-up!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Shao Yun with clear eyes and asked:
"Hmm? Wait... What are you talking about? Didn't the plan succeed? The Fatui have evacuated, and Capitano is dead. What else is there to clean up?"
Shao Yun looked at his confused expression, pursed his lips helplessly, and said in a serious tone:
"Let's talk about the current situation first. Mavica, she now... wants to be your sister Ying's little sister."
At this point, he paused, deliberately emphasized his tone, and added clearly: "Not ordinary sisters, but the kind of sisters who can share a husband. Do you understand me?"
The four words "sharing a husband" were like thunder, instantly exploding in Kong's ears.
Then, Kong choked on his own saliva and started coughing violently.
"Ahem... ahem... brother-in-law, you are not kidding, are you?"
Shao Yun raised his finger and pointed at Nata above the Kingdom of Night God, and said without exaggeration:
"Do you think this is just a small matter? If the 'Capitano faked death' scheme isn't quickly clarified, I guarantee that within a week at most, the Fontaine Steambird newspaper will publish a headline like this."
He paused, then deliberately imitated the exaggerated tone of a gossip newspaper and read:
"Shocking! Nata Fire God Mavika marries a married man, leaving his wife in tears: Even a god steals my man? Special correspondent Charlotte provides an in-depth report... Do you think this headline is eye-catching enough?"
After hearing the news headline Shao Yun made up, Kong subconsciously complained:
"No, brother-in-law, it's already this late, can you please stop coming up with such outrageous headlines? Is this a headline a human could come up with? It's way too dramatic!"
After complaining, he reacted and asked:
"But then again, just because you saved Nata again this time, Mavica... is she going to snatch you from my sister?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun raised his eyebrows and showed a helpless expression of "What do you think?", his eyes full of the meaning of "This is just so outrageous".
Kong looked at Shao Yun's expression and finally realized that the current situation was far more complicated than he had imagined. He panicked for a moment and even spoke incoherently.
"No, this... isn't this too outrageous?"
Fortunately, Shao Yun remained calm. He knew very well that the only solution at the moment was to let "Capitano" come forward in person and explain the ins and outs of the "fake death plan" to Mavica and completely dispel her misunderstanding.
Thinking of this, Shao Yun's tone instantly became tough, and he said to Kong:
"So, the most important question now is, where is 'Capitano'?"
"I have to find him now and clear things up tonight, otherwise there might be trouble tomorrow."
"I'm really afraid that after today, Mavica will run straight to Ying and kneel down to beg her to let her be my mistress!"
"Brother-in-law, if your sister Ying had another sister who shared a husband, would you, as her brother, want to see this happen?"
Kong was completely awakened by Shao Yun's words and finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
This is not a simple emotional misunderstanding. If it is not handled properly, my brother-in-law Shao Yun's family might be in trouble.
He nodded quickly, his tone becoming anxious.
"Okay! Okay! Let's go find him now! I've put him in a tent not far away to rest, and I'll take you there now!"
……
Inside the tent, the "real" Capitano sat on a folding bed that he had temporarily found on Yuanshang.
He had already known that the carefully planned "fake death" plan was a complete success.
The fools believed it and temporarily gave up the fight for Nata's Heart of God, which gave Nata a precious chance to catch his breath.
This should be something to be thankful for, but Capitano did not feel the slightest joy in his heart. Instead, he was shrouded in a thick layer of confusion.
He raised his hand and gently pressed it on his chest, and could clearly feel the homeless souls in his body stirring slightly.
He wandered around with these souls that could not return to the earth, and now he has temporarily taken refuge with the Abyss Cult, where he has a place to stay, but he has no idea what to do in the future.
I don't care. It's okay to follow the Abyss Cult and take it one step at a time.
But what should these souls do? They can't remain trapped in their own bodies forever, without peace...
Just when he was alone and worried about the future, the tent was opened and two familiar figures walked in. They were Shao Yun and Kong.
Capitano immediately came to his senses, instantly put away the confusion and depression in his heart, and changed his previous depressed mood.
He quickly stood up from the folding bed, straightened his clothes, then knelt on one knee, placed his right hand on his chest, and saluted the two of them with the most full and respectful attitude.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, and Mr. Shao Yun, thank you for everything you have done for me."
Shao Yun looked at Capitano, who was kneeling on one knee and solemnly thanking him and Kong, and quickly waved his hand to interrupt his thanks.
"Let's save the thank you for later. This is an urgent situation and I need you to do me a favor!"
His mind was now full of Mavica's affairs, and he had no intention of listening to the polite words. He just wanted to solve the trouble at hand as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Capitano immediately agreed without any hesitation.
"No problem, Mr. Shao Yun. As long as this matter does not touch my bottom line, no matter what your request is, I will do my best to help you."
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Shao Yun immediately spoke frankly:
"I need you to immediately clarify your plan of 'faking your death' and explain the whole story. Immediately, immediately!"
When Capitano heard this, he didn't understand what Shao Yun meant for a moment.
"what?"
Shao Yun listened to the confusion in Capitano's tone and realized that his previous statement was too hasty and could indeed be easily misunderstood.
"Sorry, sorry, what I said just now was a bit ambiguous, and I didn't make things clear..."
As he spoke, Shao Yun took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his tone. Then he used the most concise yet informative words to quickly sort out the ins and outs of the matter.
"The thing is, I saved Nata again this time, and Mavica was probably overly moved. Now she's crying, making a scene, and threatening to commit suicide, insisting on marrying me."
He paused, emphasized his tone, and made his core demands clear again.
"So, what I need you to clarify is that everything I did before, including cooperating with your fake death plan, was not for Mavica at all. It was entirely to help you get out of this predicament and achieve your own rebirth! Do you understand me now?"
Capitano finally understood the reason for Shao Yun's anxiety, but his attention was involuntarily focused on the fact that "Mavika was going to marry Shao Yun."
"Is this... Mavica's view on love so passionate and direct?"
Seeing this, Shao Yun spread his hands helplessly, his face full of an expression of "I'm helpless too".
"The situation is so bizarre right now, there's nothing I can do. So, you must come forward to clarify your plan of faking your death and clear up the misunderstanding. Only you can do this."
"Anyway, if you don't clarify things tonight, this thing will definitely blow up the next day. So, the clarification must be completed tonight, no delay!"
Shao Yun then quickly finalized the follow-up arrangements: "The clarification will be held in the basement of my house. It's more secluded there and won't be easily discovered."
"Hurry up and get ready now. I'll have Yuan Shang come up with a way to get you to my house without anyone noticing. Try not to alert anyone else."
Capitano listened without refutation.
He remembered that he had said before that he would never leave a mess for Shao Yun and Kong because of his own affairs.
Now, this misunderstanding caused by the "fake death plan" is inseparable from him, so he will naturally not sit idly by.
He slowly stood up from the ground, raised his chin towards Shao Yun, and said, "No problem, Mr. Shao Yun."
……
At night, Nata, the discussion place at the Holy Flame Arena.
Recalling what happened today, Mavica's heartbeat still accelerated unconsciously.
After sending Shao Yun away from the meeting place, she has been absent-minded.
First, he mechanically gave his subordinates the order to lift the general mobilization of Nata.
Later, when he was dealing with post-war relief work, he was distracted frequently, replaying the scenes of his time with Shao Yun during the day in his mind, and he didn't even fully hear what his subordinates said in their reports.
After finally waiting until the sun had just set and temporarily handing over all matters to the staff, Mavica rushed back to her bedroom impatiently.
She carefully took a bath, then opened the wardrobe and searched through all her clothes...
In the end, she simply took off the dusty and smoky one-piece motorcycle suit she wore during the day and changed into a set of tight white underwear.
She wanted to show her purest and softest side to Shao Yun without reservation.
At this moment, Mavica was sitting on the edge of the bed, her legs gently clamped together, her hands nervously clutching the sheets.
There was only a small phlogiston desk lamp lit in the room, and the warm yellow light fell on her, outlining her soft curves.
She was like a bride waiting to be married by her groom, her eyes full of anticipation for him.
