Chapter 129 Why Hide It From Me?
[Huh? What is this? Did a donkey kick your brain?]
Yan Xi blinked in confusion, her mind momentarily blank as to what he was saying. Her eyes involuntarily lingered on the snowflakes on his shoulder, and she tilted her head slightly in surprise. Then, she straightened her head again, changing the subject...
[Where are you? It's dark and snowing... wait a minute... these snowflakes... why do they feel so... so familiar?]
Familiar? It would be strange if you weren't.
Yin Yuan glanced at her sideways with a look that said, "You're not too stupid," using his adult voice, which had an indescribable sarcastic tone.
[Comrade Yan Xi, may I ask what earth-shattering, breathtaking, and unsettling thing you did in the Fairy Realm this time?]
Yan Xi: ? What nonsense are you talking about?
Seeing her foolish look, Yin Yuan knew that this was not part of her plan either. He rolled his eyes helplessly and pointed the camera at his feet.
On a small cliff, a group of people and non-human creatures stood.
As the only white figure in the world, the Ice Princess stood on the ice lotus, exceptionally conspicuous under the night sky.
Then came Mandora, who stood in mid-air in a golden dragon robe, her green scepter shining brightly, clearly indicating that she was up to no good.
Then there were the phantom beasts and the ugly little monsters flapping their wings at her feet, all staring intently ahead, as if they were about to pounce and inflict a fatal wound on the person opposite them at any moment.
Finally, there were six people, led by Xin Ling and Wang Mo: one, two, three… oh, six people in total. Yan Xi's eyes flickered, and she even spotted a rather familiar figure behind a large rock not far from the battlefield—that idiot who tried to scheme against her but was instead outsmarted and bullied by her, named Yan… what…
Never mind, I forgot her name.
Yan Xi scratched her head in confusion, quite shocked and puzzled by the scene.
—What happened to the Ice Princess's tour of the North and South Poles?
What's going on? Are you making a scene?
……
Below, the crowd awkwardly chatted while observing Yan Xi. Seeing her in a daze, they exchanged glances, realizing that Yan Jue, that unlucky fellow, had been pushed forward again.
Yan Jue glared at them again, rolled her eyes, then quickly adjusted her expression and softly called out, "Sister?"
Yan Xi looked past the electronic screen and met Yan Jue's eyes, raising an eyebrow. "Huh?"
Yan Jue's hand, which was waving a folding fan, froze for a moment. He glanced at the people behind him, but couldn't come up with a reason for it.
Yan Xi glanced at Yin Yuan, who had shut up because of her talking, crossed his arms, and looked annoyed. She didn't care whether Yan Jue had spoken or what he wanted to say, and considerately prepared to start chasing him out.
—Only after everyone left could she communicate with Yinyuan.
She covered her lips with her hand, yawned elegantly, her eyes slightly red, and her fox-like eyes seemed to hold a pool of clear spring water.
Since her arm had gone numb, Yan Xi simply conjured up a cushion and leaned against the armrest, comfortably lying down with her narrow eyes slightly narrowed, revealing half of her vertical purple-gray pupil.
"Ha~" She covered her mouth and yawned again, glancing lazily at the crowd below. "I'm so sleepy... Do you guys need anything else?"
The implication is that I'll see the guest off to bed if there's nothing else to do.
Shi Xi and the others were all shrewd and could naturally understand the implied meaning in this person's words. Pang Zun and Huo Liaoye, who were simpler-minded, could not hide their worry as they looked at her troubled appearance.
—Why are you going to sleep again?
Huo Liaoye spoke first, "You've only just woken up, how come you're sleepy again?"
Perhaps because he had never yielded to anyone before, although he was worried, his tone was inevitably somewhat stiff.
"Sigh, I've been injured quite a few times lately. I need to get some sleep and rest."
Yan Xi rubbed her eyes nonchalantly, then rolled up her sleeves and showed them her arms.
On her fair and delicate arms, several glaring wounds crisscrossed each other. In less than a second, the wounds would scab over and fall off, only to be broken again elsewhere in the next second, constantly repeating the process of injury and healing.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Yan Xi rolled up her sleeves, waved her hand dismissively, and said, "Don't all look so gloomy like you've died. It's just a few small cuts. We're used to it."
Whether the speaker meant it or not, the listeners took it to heart, feeling as if their hearts were stuffed with cotton, and were very uncomfortable.
Li Hui forced a smile and asked in a very gentle tone, "How long are you going to sleep this time?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi and the others all perked up their ears, seemingly anticipating something.
"About... ten or twenty days." Yan Xi counted on her fingers and picked a time that was neither too far nor too near.
She didn't really want to sleep; she just wanted to be alone, but she was worried that something might happen to the group while she was taking a break. Besides, she still had things to finish.
She was pretending to be sleepy, but she ended up actually being sleepy. Yan Xi yawned again, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her slender fingers, her eyes were half closed and her eyelids kept drooping, looking drowsy.
Seeing her like this, the others didn't know what else to say. They could only tell her to take good care of herself and to let them know if she felt unwell, and then they walked out slowly, turning back every few steps.
Shi Xi and Li Hui took the lead, walking very fast as if they were running away from something. Huo Liaoye and Pang Zun both frowned, turning back every three steps. The remaining four, Yan Jue, Shui Qingli, Hua Ling and Du Xifei, stood in place and looked at Yan Xi for a while. They seemed to be thinking of something, their eyebrows furrowed tightly. They looked at each other and then slowly walked out.
Bai Guangying, who was staying there temporarily, was still standing by the pillar at the door, hesitant, unsure whether she should ask where she was going.
When Shi Xi and Li Hui reached the door, they suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the beautiful figure on the soft couch, their hearts growing increasingly panicked.
Are we just going to let them go like that?
Just as they turned back to leave, Yin Yuan suddenly spoke, startling Yan Xi so much that her drowsiness vanished instantly.
After glancing at the screen, Yan Xi instantly understood what Yin Yuan meant. She rubbed her eyes and coughed lightly, "Wait a minute."
Immediately, everyone stopped in their tracks and turned to look at her. Their expressions were not uniform, but they were all filled with worry.
"What's wrong?" Shui Qingli asked first.
Yan Xi lowered her eyes, still looking sleepy. She seemed to be barely keeping her eyes open, rubbing her arms with her hands, and said softly, "Jingjing... going to the human world isn't just for patrolling, is it..."
No one spoke, but Yan Xi could clearly hear heavy breathing and a rapid heartbeat.
She sat up again, a cryptic smile slowly spreading across her face, and continued to speculate, "Your arrival... is not a coincidence... Jingjing sent you here to keep me occupied while she's doing something bad?"
"!"
Hearing the heartbeat quicken even more, Yan Xi slowly touched her face with her left hand, only to feel a chill in her palm.
She closed her eyes, sighed softly, seemingly filled with helplessness.
"Why bother? Why hide it from me?"
"If you don't tell me, how will you know I'll stop you?"
