Chapter 990: Zhongli's Team
As the warmth between the two gradually grew.
The darkness amplified every subtle sound—the rustling of fabric, the mingling of breaths, the overlapping of heartbeats, like the crash of the tide on the shore, gentle yet irresistible.
There are no words, only the smell of each other.
When everything was over, Ying lay quietly in Shao Yun's arms like a tired kitten, her palms gently placed on Shao Yun's chest, feeling his heartbeat.
After a while, Ying finally broke the silence. Her voice was a little lazy: "Honey, why do I feel like Ningguang has become so scary?"
Shao Yun smiled slightly, reached out his hand and gently lifted the strands of sweat-soaked hair covering Ying's cheeks, and gently comforted her, "Don't think too much, dear."
"Our daughter's hundred-day celebration has gone off without a hitch. We'll be leaving in a day or two. We probably won't have any contact with Ningguang again."
After hearing what Shao Yun said, Ying's uneasiness was slightly relieved.
"Hmm... I hope that's the case, huh~" After saying that, she let out a long breath, as if she wanted to exhale all her troubles with this breath.
……
What Shao Yun and Ying didn't know was that while the erotic scene was happening in their room, Ningguang was listening at the door.
An ambiguous atmosphere seeped out from the gap in the wooden door. Ningguang leaned her back against the cold door panel, but her fingertips were surprisingly hot.
She tilted her head slightly, and every vague sound scratched her eardrums like a feather, causing her heart to beat violently in her chest. Even her breathing was barely noticeable, and her chest rose and fell slowly with her panting, and her clothes trembled slightly with it.
"I didn't expect that pleasing Ying and then arousing Shao Yun's desire would be so exciting." She murmured to herself at the door, and the curve of her lips concealed a hint of excitement that she herself was not even aware of.
The ambiguous atmosphere that was deliberately created in the house just now was Ningguang's careful design to create an ambiguous scene for Shao Yun and Ying.
I thought I could assist on the spot, but I didn't expect that I could only eavesdrop.
However, I didn't expect that just listening to what might have happened inside the door would cause such a strange restlessness to surge in my blood, as if a small electric current was crawling up my spine, making me numb and hot.
Ningguang slowly raised her hands, her fingertips gleaming faintly in the dim light.
Suddenly, a wicked smile spread across her face.
"This feeling... Why do I seem to be addicted to it?" The ending tone rose slightly, with a hint of playfulness.
……
At the same time, under the night.
Zhongli stood quietly on Tianheng Mountain, looking confusedly at the Qun Yu Pavilion floating in the sky not far away, not knowing what to feel.
Alice stood in front of Zhongli, looking at his dazed look, and couldn't help feeling helpless.
Talk to yourself, Morax, what are you looking at?
So she snapped her fingers lightly in front of Zhongli's eyes, and the crisp sound echoed in the silent night sky.
"Mr. Zhongli, are you listening to me?"
Zhongli snapped back to his senses, his eyes refocusing on Alice, a hint of apology on his face.
"Huh? Sorry, I was distracted. What did you say?"
Alice looked at Zhongli, who clearly hadn't listened to her words. She sighed inwardly and could only patiently repeat herself:
"Okay, I'll repeat it again."
The harm done by Mr. Shao Yun has exceeded our imagination, and we must unite to deal with this threat together."
She paused, then continued, "The existence of Teyvat has entered its countdown. We must solve both problems simultaneously, defending ourselves from external threats and maintaining domestic stability!"
When Zhongli heard that Alice wanted to join forces with him to deal with Shao Yun, he thought to himself, you Alice don’t want to live, but I, Zhongli, and Liyue want to live!
Faced with the current situation, Zhongli put forward his own views after careful consideration.
"I think the current situation can no longer be solved by killing Shao Yun. Since Mr. Shao Yun has the ability to destroy the world and change everything, it might not be a bad idea to let him live in Nata for a while."
"Once Shao Yun has developed a good relationship with Teyvat, he will definitely protect 'his' homeland, right?"
However, Alice refuted Zhongli's idea.
"You think things are too simple! Didn't the Kanria people think the same way at the beginning? What was the result?"
Alice cited the example of Kanriya, emphasizing that even if Shao Yun developed feelings for Teyvat, there was no guarantee that he would not bring disaster like the five sinners.
Zhongli felt helpless as he looked at the stubborn Alice.
He persuaded earnestly: "Look, the current situation has finally calmed down. Let's not provoke Shao Yun again. This will be better for everyone."
Of course Alice knew that now was not the time to provoke Shao Yun again, but there were some things she had to figure out now, namely Zhongli's attitude towards Shao Yun!
She had to make Zhongli stand on her side, instead of standing by and watching in the possible decisive battle in the future, or standing on Shao Yun's side.
"I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, 'Today I surrender five cities, tomorrow I surrender ten, and then I can sleep peacefully for one night. When I wake up and look around, the enemy is here again!'"
"Blindly tolerating Shao Yun will only make him more presumptuous!"
Zhongli frowned, his tone tinged with anger as he asked, "So what do you want me to do? Do you want me to take Liyue and go on this adventure with you?"
"The friendship between Shao Yun and I can only maintain a superficial peace. As long as he doesn't go too far, I won't fight him to death! I still have Liyue to protect!"
Zhongli was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It is precisely because of our exploitation of Ying that we have led to this situation! Now, it's time to stop!"
Alice couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw Zhongli was so stubborn.
Just as she was thinking about how to convince Zhongli, suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
She thought of the devil in the black tall hat, the root of all the collapse problems!
Alice took a deep breath and decided to start from this angle to completely convince Zhongli.
She looked directly into Zhongli's eyes and said slowly, "You should have seen that devil in the black tall hat, right?"
When Zhongli heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he felt very sensitive about this topic.
"What do you mean?"
Alice offered an argument Zhongli couldn't refuse. "Shao Yun is a follower of that demon! Think about everything he's done!"
"If it was the devil who instructed Shao Yun, do you think your tolerance makes sense?"
The reason given by Alice shocked Zhongli's heart.
Zhongli recalled everything Shao Yun had done. Those seemingly absurd yet malicious actions, could they really have been carried out under the instructions of the devil?
If this is the case, then wouldn't his tolerance and forgiveness towards Shao Yun become meaningless?
However, there was still a trace of doubt in Zhongli's heart.
He still remembered that Shao Yun had once asked him how to get rid of the devil, which seemed to contradict what Alice said that Shao Yun was a devil believer.
Just when Zhongli wanted to ask his question, Alice didn't give him a chance.
She suddenly pointed at the floating Qun Yu Pavilion and said excitedly, "Look, Zhongli! Take Liyue Harbor for example. What has Shao Yun done with Ning Guang on Tianquan Star?"
"She is no longer the high and mighty ruler, but a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy. You could even say she is a slave girl eager to be enjoyed by Shao Yun!"
"Are you really willing to watch Shao Yun act recklessly and bring disaster to Liyue?"
"You keep saying you want to protect Liyue, but why do you turn a blind eye to Shao Yun's actions and allow him to do whatever he wants?"
After hearing this, Zhongli thought about it rationally. To be precise, it was the result of many factors.
Ningguang's savagery, Xianyun's pressure, and Shao Yun's prestige—none of these three is indispensable...
However, one thing is certain, that is, Shao Yun's power does come from that devil... I guess...
When he thought about this, he really should show some attitude to Alice.
If Shao Yun was instructed by that devil, then he would have to make a very risky decision.
Zhongli took a deep breath, weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and slowly said, "When the moment of no return comes, we can kill Shao Yun!"
"But we can't hurt Ying, Paimon, and Ying's daughter Xi! We owe it to Ying!"
Alice looked at Zhongli who implicitly promised her that he would help her kill Shao Yun if necessary in the future, and she nodded with satisfaction.
"No problem. That's all I need from you!"
Zhongli no longer wanted to continue communicating with Alice at this moment. He needed to calm down.
"If nothing else, I'll leave first!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't give Alice a chance to respond. He disappeared from her sight in a flash.
Alice looked at the direction Zhongli left, then cast her gaze towards the Qun Yu Pavilion floating in the air.
"Shao Yun, you're beyond our control. I'm sorry. I will take good care of your wife and children, just like you would take care of Ke Li."
"I'm sorry, traveler from the sea of stars. If you want to blame someone, blame the devil who plays tricks on everyone..."
