Chapter 920 Xiao is coming
After leaving Mondstadt, Alice braved the snowstorm and came to the Abyss Cult camp where Kong was.
Alice stood in front of the camp, took a deep breath, and then smiled and greeted Sora politely:
"Hello, Hello, Ying's brother 'Sora'! Do you mind if I come visit you?"
Sitting by the campfire, Kong looked at Alice walking out of the snow and asked, "Who are you?"
Alice walked lightly in front of Sora, with a bright smile on her face, and introduced herself: "I'm Klee's mother, Alice!"
When Kong heard this, his brows slightly frowned and he muttered in a low voice: "Are you Keli's mother?"
At this moment, the Abyss Apostle Riptide beside Sora suddenly shouted as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "I know you! Yuan Shang has told me about you. You are the 'A' of the Witch Society!"
When Alice heard someone recognized her, she deliberately said in a flattered tone, "Oh? So I'm so famous?"
Kong was not fooled by Alice's appearance and said directly: "You came to see me, don't tell me that you are also here to lobby..."
Alice nodded and admitted frankly: "That's right, but when I want to persuade others, I sometimes have to talk. Sometimes..."
Her words came to an abrupt end, leaving a meaningful ending
Then, the air around Alice's right hand began to fluctuate, and a ball of red flame mixed with purple light appeared in the palm of her hand.
Seeing Alice trying to threaten him, Kong calmly asked, "I know that you Witches are not good people, but don't underestimate us..."
Alice changed her kind look and became serious. She issued an ultimatum without any nonsense.
"Everything that follows will be handled by our Witch Association. Please cooperate with me."
Not wanting to be outdone, Sora asked, "What if I don't agree?"
When Alice heard this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. She gently waved her right hand, and the fireball in her hand rushed out and directly pierced through a water abyss wizard who was waiting for an opportunity to attack her beside her.
The water abyss mage didn't even have time to let out a howl before he was swallowed by the flames and instantly returned to the earth.
At this moment, Alice's eyes were filled with majesty. She looked at Kong coldly and said, "Then I won't be polite either. Now, make your choice."
As she spoke, Alice stretched out two fingers, shook them in the air, and said slowly: "First, you, the Abyss Cult, fight with me, and whoever wins will obey me."
"Second, you listen to me. I will be peaceful and I promise that your sister and her family will return to you safe and sound."
"I have to remind you that I am just like you. I want to save your sister as well. We are allies!"
At this moment, Kong's expression became extremely gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly, and his joints turned slightly white due to excessive force.
The God of Wind bullies my sister, and you, Alice, bully me? It seems that all of us are weaklings!
However, before Kong could start a fight, the Abyss Apostle, Jiliu, quickly reached out to stop him, and learned the skills of analyzing the situation that Yuanshang had taught him, and persuaded him:
"Your Highness, calm down. Our current manpower is far inferior to hers."
"Unless we call back those personnel currently carrying out the restoration mission, otherwise, with the current manpower we have, I'm afraid it won't be enough to kill this woman in front of us."
"For now, we should focus on preserving our strength. I don't think she is lying. The sooner we can rescue your blood relative, the sooner we can continue our cause of restoring our country, right?"
Kong watched helplessly as the people under his command gradually lost the upper hand in the battle with Alice, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.
Although, Kong can transfer all the forces here, but the cause of restoring the country...ah...
"hateful……"
Alice was obviously also wary of Kong. After all, his brother-in-law "Shao Yun" was a human-shaped disaster.
She didn't want to make things too awkward, so she slowed down her tone and explained, "I'm not here to kill you. I just want to solve the problem."
"I also know very well that Shao Yun is not someone you can easily mess with, so I don't want the relationship between you and me to become too tense."
Kong sighed helplessly. He knew very well that in his current situation, he did not have enough strength to compete with Alice.
As expected, whoever has the bigger fist is right! This is an eternal truth.
There were thousands of words that Kong wanted to say, but in the end, all he could say was: "You just know how to bully us. Fine, I accept it."
Alice quickly corrected him, "I don't mean to bully you. I understand your difficulties."
"But the residents of Mondstadt are innocent! They should not be implicated by the actions of the Wind God."
Then, Alice thought about Sora again and continued, "Besides, you have actually achieved your goal."
"You have destroyed the faith of most Mond people in the God of Wind."
"Destroying someone's faith is more painful than killing them! Haven't you heard the saying that killing someone destroys their heart?"
"So, now, calm down, we are on the same front!"
There is nothing to say. The initiative is now in their hands, so there is no point in saying anything.
However, before leaving, Kong felt it necessary to find out what Alice's attitude was towards him and his sister's family.
"I can leave here, but before that, I want you to tell me clearly what your position is on us?"
Upon hearing this, Alice spoke out her true thoughts without reservation.
"After we successfully rescue your sister and niece, whether Ying wants to continue her journey or choose to settle down in Teyvat, I will never interfere with her decision."
At this point, Alice continued solemnly: "However, one thing must be made clear, that is, the Wind God must not die!"
When Kong heard this, he couldn't help but snort coldly, revealing a look of contempt.
"The Wind God cannot die... You should tell my brother-in-law this."
Facing Kong's sarcasm, Alice seemed helpless.
She knew that continuing the argument would lead to no results. Since she had the upper hand now, she decisively ordered the man to leave.
"Okay, now, please leave here immediately. Mond has suffered too much during this period of time and can't bear any more."
Kong knew that he was powerless to change the situation. Since that was the case, he might as well save face for both of them.
"Alright... Members of the Abyss Cult, retreat!"
……
The moment the Abyss Cult began to withdraw from Mondstadt like a tide, the blizzard mixed with hail in the sky began to gradually weaken.
The howling of the wind gradually subsided, and the blizzard and hail no longer poured down like before.
If this trend continues, the snowstorm that has covered Mond for more than two months, nearly three months, will completely stop within one night.
Alice stood on a high place, overlooking Mondstadt, with a relieved smile on her face.
She looked at what she had done and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Alice muttered to herself happily, "Next, we have to save Ying, Paimeng, and Shao Yun's daughter."
"Barbatos, I saved Mond for you. I hope you can understand the situation!"
Just as Alice was thinking about her next strategy, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"As expected, whoever has the bigger fist is right... I have been persuading you for so long, but it is not as effective as your threat of a fireball."
Alice turned around suddenly and saw that Dainsleib had appeared behind her at some point.
Alice smiled faintly and said, "Hello, Mr. Dyne. How was your journey in hunting down the five sinners?"
When Dainsleb saw that Alice had asked about him, he replied expressionlessly, "There are some things I don't want to talk about."
Then, Dain's tone became serious, and he reminded rationally: "I must remind you of something."
"Shao Yun is a complete lunatic who dares to bite anyone. Are you sure you have the ability to calm his anger?"
Alice was confident in her abilities and replied disapprovingly, "You don't need to worry about that, Mr. Dain."
"Of course I have my own way. I think as long as I give him enough benefits, Shao Yun will definitely..."
However, before Alice could finish her words, Dainsleb suddenly interrupted her and said pointedly:
"If your daughter was kidnapped, would you be so calm in negotiating with the kidnapper?"
Alice's face darkened, and she commented unhappily, "Mr. Dain's mouth is still so vicious."
……
In the desert on the border of Nata and Xumi, there is a vast starry sky above the desert at night, which is dotted with stars and is beautiful beyond words.
A caravan from Xumi was walking slowly across the desert, their destination was Nata.
However, in this caravan, there is a special guest from Liyue - "Xiao".
He stood quietly on the caravan's camel, gazing at the distant mountains of Nata, with an indescribable melancholy welling up in his heart.
"Is this the junction of Xumi and Nata?"
Immediately afterwards, Xiao felt a deep longing for Liyue in his heart.
"This is my first time leaving Liyue..."
Although Xiao's voice was very soft, it was still keenly caught by Dixia who was standing beside him.
Dixia was a warm and cheerful person. After hearing Xiao's muttering, she immediately asked curiously, "Is this young man from Liyue your first time in Nata?"
Xiao glanced at Dixia and felt a little uncomfortable with her proactive attitude.
But when he was out, he couldn't ignore outsiders completely, so he nodded slightly and replied:
"Yes, it's my first time traveling far away. I saw many creatures along the way that I have never seen in Liyue."
Dixia was very interested in Xiao's answer and continued to ask, "What are you doing in Nata? Are you traveling?"
Xiao shook his head and replied calmly, "No, I'm here to look for someone."
The person Xiao was looking for was Shao Yun. He went through untold hardships and came all the way from the distant Liyue just to find Shao Yun.
No matter how much Xiao has to pay, he must make Shao Yun lift the punishment for breaking his promise to Geo King.
Xiao absolutely cannot tolerate that the God of Wind has to bear the consequences for his mistakes!
Xiao saw that he was getting closer and closer to Nata, and in order to save time, he decided to say goodbye to Dishia first.
"Ms. Dixia, thank you very much for sending me to Nata." Xiao said sincerely, "But I have to leave now. Let's say goodbye here."
When Dixia heard that Xiao was going to split up so soon, she quickly shouted:
"Wait a minute, it's so late, you are unfamiliar with the place, how can you do it alone?"
However, before Dixia could finish her words, she suddenly discovered that Xiao standing on the camel disappeared without a trace in an instant!
Seeing Xiao disappearing out of thin air, Dixia complained in a stereotypical way:
"Hey, are all the people of Liyue martial arts masters? They can fly into the sky and hide in the ground in the blink of an eye?"
