"Although I haven't had deep friendship with humans for thousands of years, I know that the person for whom humans are willing to shed tears must be someone with whom they have an extraordinary relationship."
"You're too self-indulgent."
Ying stopped and looked up at Xue Kui.
"I need an explanation."
Xue Kui recalled that when he knew that the predecessor of Qiuqiu was a human being, his emotions almost collapsed, and he felt that it was better not to let the other party know about this kind of thing.
She is a traveler in the sea of stars and has nothing to do with Teyvat, so why let her leave this world with dark memories?
"That's a sad story in this world. Who wants to expose the scandal in their hometown to outsiders?"
Xue Kui rubbed Ying's head, just like he comforted the children and immortals he had taken care of before.
"But please believe me, as a human friend that I recognize, I am indeed thinking about you."
An emotion called seriousness could be seen from those sky-blue eyes, and the overly direct words made Ying feel an inexplicable sense of shame.
How on earth could this person say "considering for you" in such a serious tone?
Ying felt that her body was heating up, and the voice of a third person next to her added fuel to the fire.
"Well, although I know it's inappropriate to disturb the two of you at this time, but before you solve the relationship problems of the young couple, can you tell me the reason for your visit?"
Plifa seemed a little restless.
"After all, in this state where I don't know whether you are here to take me back, I am already so nervous that my heart hurts."
Realizing that others had watched the shameful scene just now, Ying covered her red cheeks with her hands and crouched down weakly, screaming meaninglessly in her heart.
How did he become so weak?
Ying's body felt limp and tortured by shame, and her heart was filled with grief.
"Look what you've done!"
Seeing Ying squatting down in "pain" and curling up her body, Xue Kui angrily scolded Plifa.
This... Obviously you have more problems, right?
Plifa was bewildered.
"Hey! What's wrong with you? Did you really drink that medicine and start to have side effects?"
Hearing Xue Kui's words, Ying, who was squatting on the ground, realized the problem.
She became so susceptible to Xue Kui's influence, perhaps because of the potion that made people fall in love at first sight?
"I, I'm fine."
Ying, whose face was flushed with blush, only showed a pair of eyes to look at Xue Kui in front of her.
"However, I should have been tricked, but what is working now is not the side effect, but the effect of the potion itself."
Xue Kui tilted his head slightly, his expression became a little strange.
"You mean, you like me now?"
"It should be in that state."
Ying's voice was muffled because her mouth was buried in her arms.
Xue Kui thought for a moment, and in order to test whether Ying was really affected by the potion, he suddenly pressed his forehead against the girl's forehead, and his blue and golden eyes exchanged glances at a very close distance.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Ying suddenly buried her head in her arms.
"Don't get so close to me at a time like this!"
"Ah, sorry. I just want to experiment. Now it seems that I have indeed drunk the potion...In this case, maybe I stay away from you, and you will be less affected."
Xuekui stood up, just about to pull Plifa into the house to get the juice, but felt a tugging sensation on the hem of his clothes.
"No! Not at all! You still have to stay closer to me."
Ying raised her head slightly, the water in her eyes made her look pitiful.
"When I think about you being far away, I feel a sense of uneasiness in my heart."
......
With a red-faced blond girl hanging on his arm, Xuekui followed Plifa into his house expressionlessly.
"All those peach juices are here. Fortunately, you came earlier. I originally planned to sell them."
Xue Kui looked at the pink juice, then at the golden head on his arm, and took a deep breath.
This medicine is so terrifying.
Fortunately they arrived in time.
19. Pre-existing feelings
"Hum hum hum~"
High above the sky, the blond girl let out a gentle hum from her throat, and her calf swayed slightly, looking very happy.
Although Xuekui used his elemental power to block most of the high-altitude wind and cold current, Ying still shrank herself into the opponent's arms.
"Your face is no longer so red, and your symptoms seem to be much lighter."
Seeing that Ying's reaction was no longer so severe, Xue Kui wondered if the effect of the medicine was about to wear off.
Ying, who was still very happy just now, sighed.
"Not really, but I'm used to this level of shyness."
To put it bluntly, she has let go a lot now.
But to say that the effect of the medicine has passed is still a bit too far-fetched.
At least in her heart, the comfort generated by the intimate posture at this moment is not an illusion.
"It's better to take these juices back quickly, and hand them over to the scholar named Chalid to check whether all the test pieces he made are in it. The effect of this potion is a bit too powerful. If someone else eats it by mistake, the more The sooner you find it, the better."
Ying lowered her head and looked at the small wooden box she was holding in her arms, in which was stored the Dundun peach juice from Pulifa, and the remaining two bottles of trial products were mixed in it.
Already vaguely able to see the outline of the giant tree in Sumi City in the distance, Xuekui immediately descended a little. At this height, the scenery on the ground can already be seen at a glance.
"Those are...the monsters we just encountered."
Hearing the muttering from Ying's mouth, Xue Kui looked to the ground and saw two Qiuqiu people chasing and playing like children among humans.
After a moment of silence, Xue Kui said to Ying.
"When you meet Qiuqiu people in the future, if possible, I hope you can just teach them a lesson and don't hurt their lives."
"...I felt strange before. Because my head was too hot, I accepted even perfunctory excuses like 'It's for your own good'. But now it's you who brings it up yourself. It'll always be okay." Shall I explain why?"
Xue Kui glanced at Ying with puffed cheeks, but didn't answer her question directly.
"If you meet a condition, you don't have to think about what I said."
"Huh? Under what conditions?"
"If you are a person who can kill with peace of mind and feel no guilt at all, then there is no problem."
"...I don't seem to be the scary-sounding person you said."
"Well, then be obedient and don't do something that might make you regret."
Xue Kui's hands were not without lives, but the feeling of being mentally prepared before taking action was different from the feeling of suddenly knowing that he had unknowingly killed innocent people.
Even when facing a monster that was only a human being, Xue Kui did not relax for a moment when he learned the truth.
Ying is a tourist, and she may not be exposed to the truth about the Qiuqiu people until she leaves, but Xue Kui doesn't want her hands to be stained with blood unconsciously because of the problems in this world.
Ying's eyes flashed, and she stretched out her hand to touch Xue Kui's face.
"Xue Kui, his expression turned a little scary."
"...Did it scare you? I'm so sorry."
Ying shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and decided to speak her mind.
"No, I just feel, very worried about you."
Xue Kui opened his eyes slightly, and even the tuft of hair on his head trembled.
"...The effect of this medicine is really scary. Let the Holy Order include it in the ranks of banned drugs later."
Ying hammered Xue Kui's chest.
"Hmph, you should cherish these few days."
......
"Well, that's right. It is true that a bottle of potion is missing. How lucky are you to be able to accurately find that failed product from so many bottles?"
There was a teasing smile on the corner of Chalid's mouth, looking at the separated fruit juice and medicine on the table, the two bottles of medicine looked lonely in front of the twenty bottles of fruit juice.
"However, it's not bad to take the opportunity to experience the feeling of being immersed in love, right? Look at how gluey the two of you are, tsk, I'm really envious."
Zhali De looked at the firefly hanging on Xue Kui's body and smiled with satisfaction at his research results.
"Why hasn't this guy been put in jail?"
Ying, who was ridiculed, lowered her face and looked at Xue Kui. The white-haired boy shook his head. He didn't know Xumi's law very well.
"Hehe, those old guys who are in charge have long lost their temper. Even if they are a little bit capable, they all focus on their own academics. How can they be willing to punish a young man with high value like me?" And me?"
With a sarcasm on his face, Chalid raised a hand and rubbed his fingers at Xue Kui and the others.
"What's more, I am very rich, and they all want to squeeze a little more Mora out of me to save the economy of Xumi City, which is in crisis due to the silence of King Dacishu."
Hearing this, Xue Kui thought of how he didn't treat Mo La as money when he released the commission before, and obediently shut his mouth.
"Ahem, don't listen to his nonsense. It's not just because this guy has some talent, it's actually because this incident didn't have too bad an impact, and the most important factor is that I, who was almost a victim, chose to reconcile with him .”
Unable to bear the sight of the cute little sister blushing with anger, Jessica quickly stood up and exposed Charid's extremely arrogant words.
"You bastard! You still lie at this time!"
"Where did I lie? Aren't I telling the truth?"
Ying stopped talking, recalled the conversation just now, and found that this was indeed the case. The other party was just hiding the most important factor.
"Okay, Mr. Chalid, don't bully other little girls all the time. Didn't you just say that you are envious of these two gluey looks? Try it yourself if you have the ability."
Zha Li was dumbfounded, and the aura that was so fierce just now suddenly weakened.
"Hey, it's not the time yet."
Jessica saw that Chalid looked away and her expression became helpless for a while, then she cheered up and turned her gaze to Xue Kui and the other two.
"Master Shenzi, when I met with the sages just now, they asked me to convey a message to you."
Thinking of the news revealed by the sages, Jessica couldn't help but smile.
"The Great Cishu King has resumed communication with them, and wants you to visit her."
Xue Kui nodded, he was not surprised that Buier recovered so quickly.
There was nothing wrong with the other party, it was just that his strength had been consumed too much in a short period of time. After a period of meditation, it was almost time for him to fully recover by now.
"In fact, it will not be a secret soon, because the Academy of Order plans to hold a banquet to celebrate it on the day when King Dacishu recovers and comes back. I hope that the two of you can actively participate in it."
Ying expressed doubts about this.
"Didn't you just say that Sumeru's economy is not doing well?"
"The reason for Xumiru's economic downturn has nothing to do with Xumiru itself."
Xue Kui explained to Ying.
"The main reason is that people are worried about Buyer's loss of contact, so in recent times, they have not been able to focus on work. These problems will naturally be solved after Buyer reappears in front of human beings, and they will be solved. A banquet doesn’t cost much money, and this method of quickly announcing the return of the Sumeru God can make people feel more at ease.”
Xue Kui knew that this banquet might have been organized by Buyer himself.
"Furthermore, in fact, at this time of year, this banquet will be held on time. However, this year, the sages originally planned to cancel it because of His Majesty the Tree King."
Jessica added on the sidelines.
"This festival is called the Flower God's Birthday. According to legend, it was handed down from the time when Sumeru was still governed by the three gods. Among them, the Flower God held a banquet for His Excellency the Tree King."
