Chapter 925 No matter what, Paimon will be with you.
Ying stood there quietly, her figure looking a little thin in the moonlight.
But her face revealed an expression of steadfastness and unyielding perseverance, which formed a sharp contrast with Alice's helplessness.
Ying looked at Alice trying to persuade her to accept her fate, shook her head, and insisted, "I can't let my child leave me, and I can't abandon Paimon."
"Either release them all, or don't release any of them. Don't try to separate Paimon, me and my child!"
Alice certainly understands the pain of separation...
However, the current situation was too precious, and she couldn't bear to watch Ying miss the opportunity because of her momentary indecision.
"I agree with you, but let me be frank. If you don't seize this opportunity, the consequences will be disastrous if the Wind God uses you and your child as human shields!"
"No, maybe it's even more beyond imagination. Fengshen used your daughter to threaten Shao Yun. Do you think you can accept seeing all this?"
At this point, Alice walked up to Ying, gently held Ying's cheeks with both hands, and said softly: "Listen, Miss Ying, the development of things to this point has indeed exceeded everyone's expectations."
Then, Alice used her identity as a mother to try to arouse Ying's resonance.
"I am also a mother, I also have a child, my own 'Kelly', I know how difficult this decision is."
"But keep your child out of this mess and don't let her become a victim of this strife."
Alice's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Ying's heart hard.
Her mind kept replaying her daughter's lovely face and the possible dangers she might face.
Yes, if Fengshen dared to kidnap himself, wouldn’t he use his own child to threaten Shao Yun?
He did this once when he kidnapped me!
"Can you really bear to watch Wendy use your child to threaten your husband when everything is about to collapse?" Alice's voice sounded again, with a hint of anxiety and earnestness.
Ying choked up and said, "I...I'll discuss it with Paimeng..."
When Alice heard that Ying still wanted to discuss this with Paimon, she couldn't help but ask, "Huh?"
She was obviously a little surprised by Ying's decision. Did she need to discuss this with Paimon?
Ying's eyes were filled with tears as she choked up and said, "Paimon is my travel companion and the best guide in Teyvat... At Shao Yun's request, she called me mother. How could I not consider her feelings?"
"I can't decide on my own to let Paimon die with me just because 'Xi' is my biological daughter..." Ying continued, her tone firm and resolute.
Alice looked at Ying who was so "kind", lowered her head, not daring to look Ying in the eye, and said shamefully: "I'm sorry, I let you see the ugliest side of this world..."
However, when Alice said this, a memory suddenly flashed through Ying's mind.
That was what Shao Yun had said to her and Paimeng when they were in the Golden House.
That scene was so vivid in my mind. It turned out that my husband had already started to teach me the principles of survival so early on...
After recalling this experience, Ying's eyes became unusually calm, and she told Alice exactly what Shao Yun said.
"Fairy tales are all made up by cowards who are afraid to face life." Having said that, Ying turned and walked into the tent.
After hearing this, Alice finally realized how serious the situation had become. It was all over...
In her eyes, the whole world collapsed at this moment.
"The fairy tale...is over..."
……
When Ying walked into the tent, her eyes slowly fell on Paimon and her sleeping daughter, and her mood seemed to be pressed by a heavy force and she could not breathe.
Now only one person can survive, Paimon or his daughter, who should live?
The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh!
"Paimon, I want to tell you something..."
Just when she was about to tell the truth, she stopped and didn't dare to say anything more.
However, before Ying could finish what she was about to say, Paimeng, who had heard everything in the tent, immediately gave an answer.
"Let the baby go, send her to Master Liuyun Jiefeng, and don't let her suffer with us on this deserted island."
Ying widened her eyes and looked at Paimon in disbelief.
Ying didn't expect Paimeng to be so decisive. This was no joke! Those who stayed behind might really die!
"This... Paimon, please think about it..."
Paimon shook her head gently, a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes, but was quickly replaced by determination.
"Miss Xianyun wouldn't get angry with a baby, right? Doesn't she often pick up children from the wild to raise? The baby is innocent, she must be able to tell that!"
Then, Paimeng raised his head slightly, looked at Ying, and said softly: "If we are really going to die, then... at least the baby is still alive, and Shao Yun can still have something to think about."
At this moment, tears began to well up in Ying's eyes, and she said with emotion: "Paimeng..."
Paimon looked at Ying and gave her a silly smile. Her eyes curved into crescent shapes as she tried to comfort Ying with her smile.
She patted Ying's hand gently and said, "It's okay. As long as I can be with you, Ying, I'm not afraid of death!"
Ying could no longer suppress her emotions. She suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged Paimon tightly.
Tears flowed out like a flood, and she cried out Paimon's name: "Paimon... I'm sorry..."
Paimon was startled by Ying's sudden hug. Her face flushed and she said in a somewhat bewildered manner:
"Oh, I'll be shy if you hug me..." As she said that, she gently patted Ying's shoulder with her little hand, trying to calm her down.
Ying completely broke down at this moment. She cried loudly and tears kept falling.
"Paimon, I'm sorry... I didn't take good care of you..."
Paimeng used her little hands to gently wipe away the tears on Ying's face and said softly: "Hey, don't cry, believe that Shao Yun will definitely save us, don't be so pessimistic!"
"Besides, if we send the baby away, Wendy will have one less weakness to use against Shao Yun, and everyone will be happy!"
As she spoke, she gently stroked Ying's hair, letting her feel her warmth.
"No matter what, Paimon will be with you..."
……
With Paimon's comfort and encouragement, Ying hugged her sleeping daughter "Xi" tightly and crawled out of the tent, leaving the hope of life to her daughter.
Ying came out of the tent and walked in front of Alice. Her body was trembling slightly. The daughter in her arms was her only hope of survival.
Ying's eyes never left her daughter, and her face was full of attachment and reluctance. She gently stroked her daughter's face, feeling her warmth, as if she wanted to engrave this moment in her heart forever.
Facing Alice, Ying's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of pleading: "Send my child to the cave of Master Liuyun Jiefeng in Aozang Mountain, Liyue. Thank you."
Alice looked at the baby Ying handed over and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She could understand Ying's feelings at the moment. As a mother, she knew how difficult it was to hand her child over to someone else.
Alice's eyes were full of sympathy and determination. She nodded to Ying and said, "Well...don't worry, I will."
However, just when Alice was about to take the child, Ying suddenly hugged the child tightly back in her arms, with extreme reluctance in her eyes.
"Wait a moment, let me look at it for a while longer..." Ying's voice trembled and tears slid down her cheeks.
She put her face close to her daughter's forehead and kissed her gently.
She wanted to feel her daughter's scent one last time and remember what she looked like.
Maybe this is really the last time...
Alice watched all this and felt the pain of separation from her loved ones.
So she swore to Ying: "I swear, I will put an end to this nightmare!"
Ying kissed her daughter's forehead, then she looked at Alice who was swearing, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a miserable smile.
"Don't lie to yourself. You can't be saved. You are not the Messiah in the white robe that Shao Yun mentioned!"
Then, Ying carefully handed her sleeping daughter in her arms to Alice.
Alice took the child, stared at the baby in her arms, looked at Ying deeply, and swore again: "I swear, I will do it!"
After saying this, Alice hugged the child tightly, took off into the air, flew towards Liyue, and quickly disappeared into the night sky.
Ying just looked at the direction where Alice flew away with reluctance.
Even though Alice's figure had disappeared into the night sky, her eyes still did not leave... Her tears dried up at this moment...
I don’t know how long it took, but Wendy’s somewhat hoarse voice came from beside Ying.
"Why didn't you tell Alice that I was going to attack Shao Yun, and let Alice pass the final message to Shao Yun to let him be on high alert?"
Ying, who had already run out of tears, turned to look at Wendy who was asking the question knowingly, and asked coldly, "Didn't you already hint to Ms. Alice that you would do something to my husband?"
"I want to protect my daughter's safety...I can't let you, a despicable, shameless bastard, use my daughter to threaten my husband!"
Wendy replied noncommittally: "Whatever you say..."
At this moment, Ying suddenly took a step forward, stared at Wendy, and asked again: "Wendy, why?"
When Wendy faced Ying's questioning, he didn't know how to answer. Should he answer why he kidnapped Ying, or should he answer about his experiences in the past two years?
"I don't know, I only know that I am doing what I should do most now!" There was a hint of helplessness and determination in Wendy's voice.
Ying looked at Wendy at this moment, a cold smile appeared on her face, that smile revealed her contempt and disdain for Wendy.
"You are so pathetic..."
When Wendy heard Ying's comment, his body trembled violently.
He held his head and began to mutter to himself, repeating his reasons.
"I will let you go! But your husband did too many, too many, outrageous things... He made the most wrong choice, which is..."
At this point, Wendy spoke out what she had been hiding in her heart for a long time, saying, "Sometimes, knowing the truth too early is not a good thing. Do you understand what I mean?"
Ying sneered and said sorry, she already knew the truth now!
"The worst decision my husband made was listening to my 'nonsense' that night on Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain! He believed you filthy bastards!"
Ying clenched her fists tightly, she was proud of what she said next!
"And the best choice I made was to save Shao Yun, who was lying on the beach, his life or death unknown!"
