Chapter 269 Hurry to the Kingdom of Winter?
Hearing Qiuhe's explanation, Navelette didn't respond, but simply reminded him softly, "It's already past 2 o'clock. I think your friends are probably waiting for you."
Upon hearing Villette's words, Qiuhe quickly glanced at the clock on the wall of Funina's room; the time did indeed point to 2 o'clock.
Seeing this, Qiuhe quickly jumped out of bed, straightened his clothes, and ran towards the door. After Qiuhe left, Navelette looked at Funina, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
Finally, he turned around, silently left Funina's room, and gently closed the door. Soon after, Qiuhe also returned to the Hearth House, now carrying several bags.
He pushed open the door to the fireplace house and glanced around. In the hall, some children were chatting and laughing as they walked back and forth. Hearing the door open, they all looked curiously towards the entrance, but seeing it was Qiuhe, they paid him no further attention.
Qiuhe entered the house, walked through the hall to the corridor, and headed towards his room. Just as he reached the corridor, he saw the lady come out from the side.
"Miss... beautiful sister." Hearing this familiar voice, the woman turned her head and saw Qiuhe. Qiuhe walked up to the woman.
"Beautiful sister, it's been so long, Le Yi has missed you so much." The woman didn't respond, but instead gave Qiu He a strange look from head to toe with a blank expression.
Seeing this look, Qiuhe was also full of doubt, not understanding what was wrong with the lady. "Pretty sister, is there something on my face?"
The woman paused for a moment, then said, "It's nothing. You got back quite quickly. You must be tired from traveling today. Go back to your room and rest." After saying this, she silently turned and left.
Although Qiuhe was still somewhat confused, he didn't dwell on it. He went to his room and, as soon as he opened the door, saw Lily, Peruvieri, and Sinagi sitting on the bed playing cat's cradle.
Just as Lily reached out to change the flower rope, the three of them heard a sound at the door. Turning their heads, they saw Qiuhe return. The moment they saw Qiuhe, countless emotions of longing welled up in Si Naqi's eyes. "Brother."
Overjoyed, Si Naqi jumped out of bed and ran to Qiuhe, hugging him tightly. "Brother, you...you're finally back! I...I missed you so much, I've been counting down the days until you came back."
Sinaqi sobbed as she poured out her longing for Qiuhe. Listening to her sorrow and longing, Qiuhe gently embraced her.
"Yes, I miss my little sister too. I'm sorry, it's because I wasn't strong enough, I didn't have the confidence to protect you, that's why I couldn't take you to pay respects to Mom and Dad."
While the two were still overwhelmed with emotion at their reunion, the noise caught the attention of Tian Yaochen and his friends next door. When they arrived at Qiuhe's room, they discovered that Qiuhe had returned.
Upon seeing Tian Yaochen and the others, Qiuhe noticed that Qie Hui was also with them. Finally, after Qiuhe questioned her in confusion...
He then understood the reason behind everything: because Kujavina wasn't at the Hearth House, she had no use for Chehui, which was why she was able to rejoin the team.
After everyone had a pleasant chat, Qiuhe took out an amber stone and a glass lily from the bag she was carrying and handed them to Tian Yaochen.
"Tian Yaochen, here, these are some specialties I brought back for you from Liyue. The only ones I can think of are amber and glass lilies."
Gazing at the dazzling golden amber and the flawless pure blue glass lily, Tian Yaochen's thoughts drifted back to his childhood, to a time when his parents were by his side. But no matter how much he longed for them, time could not be reversed. And at the end of that longing lay an unchangeable tragedy.
Finally, Tian Yaochen accepted the amber and glass lily from Qiuhe with a smile. "Thank you so much, Leyi. It's truly unexpected to see these two symbols of our hometown again."
Finally, Qiuhe shared the gifts he had brought back from his trip with everyone, especially Lily, who was overjoyed to receive the dandelion.
Akikawa had prepared two rainbow flowers, but just as he was handing them to Peruvieri, he realized that Clementine wasn't there. "Peruvieri, where's Clementine?"
After listening for a moment, Peruvieri said, "Crevi was taken away by that doctor. He said he was going to take her to see my mother, and that Crevi had something my mother needed. He just left yesterday."
As soon as Peruvier finished speaking, the scene fell into a deathly silence. Qiuhe stood there dumbfounded, and the other pot of Rainbow Flowers he was holding fell to the ground as if it had lost its footing.
Qiuhe felt the world spinning before her eyes. The words "take her to see her mother," and the fact that she had something her mother needed, coupled with the fact that Kujavina had been nearly shattered and was on the verge of death, made her unbearable pain.
After Qiuhe's pupils trembled violently for a moment, suddenly, the energy within him erupted instantly, stunning everyone around him.
As the light emanating from Qiuhe grew brighter, he vanished without a trace in the next instant. Meanwhile, far away in the winter, in the headquarters of the Fools, several Fools soldiers were cleaning the hall. One of them, an ice servant, was wiping the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Suddenly, an enormous blackish-purple energy began to gather in the center of the hall in a vortex-like manner. Upon seeing this, the soldiers hurriedly went into battle alert and stared intently at the energy that was still gathering in the hall.
As a figure faintly appeared within the energy, and then dissipated, Qiu He stood in the center of the hall, saying, "Who goes there? Do you know where you are, daring to trespass..."
Before the ice servant could finish speaking, Qiuhe appeared in front of him like a ghost, swiftly kicking out twice and breaking the ice servant's legs, then locking his throat tightly in a grip.
At this moment, Qiuhe's face was contorted like a demon, and he gritted his teeth and asked viciously, "Where is Dotore?!" Upon seeing this, the other Fool soldiers all picked up their weapons and prepared to attack Qiuhe.
Qiuhe, his face contorted with rage, gathered energy in his hand. As the energy finished accumulating, he suddenly swung his arm backward, his hand like a giant fan. A massive, dragon-like burst of flame erupted from his hand, sweeping across the entire hall like a tsunami, followed by a deafening explosion.
The raging blackish-purple flames shattered all the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall, and all the Fools' soldiers in the central hall were reduced to ashes.
Only the one still tightly gripped in Qiuhe's hand remained. The Ice Servant. "Where is Dotore?!" The Ice Servant's life, at this moment, was like a candle flickering in the night wind, about to be extinguished and plunged into endless darkness.
"Hmph, you've come quite quickly. However, time waits for no one, and fate doesn't favor hesitant fools. If you continue dawdling here, you might not even have a chance to regret it."
Just then, a very arrogant and mocking voice suddenly came from not far away. Qiuhe heard this familiar voice and slowly turned his head.
A man wearing a greyish-white overcoat and dark purple shorts stood quietly against the wall, arms crossed. A highly provocative smile played on his lips.
Qiuhe tightened his grip instantly, snapping the ice servant's neck. Simultaneously, a massive burst of black flame erupted from Qiuhe's palm, incinerating the ice servant beyond recognition.
The stragglers, witnessing this, remained unmoved by the sight. "I reckon he's already started extracting the girl's bone marrow, but judging from your expression, you don't seem to care."
Upon hearing this, Qiuhe's eyes widened instantly. Seeing this, the soldier slowly raised his hand, pointing his thumb towards the passage beside him. Qiuhe, instantly transforming into a streak of purple light, rushed towards the tunnel.
"Finally, the little rabbit found his mother. He happily hugged her..." As Qiuhe walked through the passageway, she vaguely heard Clay's voice.
His eyes, like radar, instantly locked onto a door, and with a loud bang, the door to the room where Clay was located was smashed to pieces by Qiuhe's kick.
The loud noise startled Clay, who took two steps back and then lost her balance, falling flat on her backside onto the bed.
The doctor, standing to the side, also had a strange smile playing on his lips, and slowly turned his head to look at the doorway. As the thick smoke at the doorway dissipated...
Qiuhe's figure gradually came into view, and what he saw was Kreewei sitting on the bed, holding Kugavina who was sitting against the headboard.
And the expression on his face gradually changed from fear to confusion. At this moment, apart from the door that Qiuhe had destroyed, the room was empty.
It was a very warm and peaceful scene. There were flower pots and a fruit basket on the storage cabinet next to the bed, as well as a bowl of water of unknown origin. The curtains were open, and the warm sunlight shone just right onto the soft bed.
Everything was perfectly peaceful, just as expected, without even a drop of blood. Qiuhe blinked, completely bewildered, while the moment the Doctor saw Qiuhe…
He also pressed the stop button on the timer in his hand, and the timer stopped at 3 minutes.
