Chapter 1418 Teyvat Takes a Sudden Turn for the Better
……
In short, the arrival of Akoda and Aino made this day less boring for Ying.
At Shao Yun's house, Aino repaired Yakoda's mechanical arm... No wonder he is the most outstanding mechanical inventor in Nordkalley; he created a dexterous mechanical arm from those seemingly broken parts.
However, Ying thought to herself that her family would never need to use it in their lifetime.
The two stayed until the afternoon, when Yakoda left with Aino, since Aino had known her longer, while she was a stranger to her.
It's reasonable to let the child stay with Yakoda to some extent.
Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction; however, as the sun set, Teyvat entered its midnight hour, and whether it would fall into eternal night or usher in dawn... remained unknown.
As night deepened, the living room on the first floor was brightly lit and warmly decorated.
After finishing dinner, Shao Yun leaned back on the sofa, holding a toothpick in her hand, slowly picking her teeth, and listened attentively as Ying recounted everything that had happened that day.
The visit of Yakoda, the appearance of Aino, and the amusing story of that clever little inventor fixing the robotic arm.
After Ying finished speaking, Shao Yun casually tossed the used toothpick into the nearby trash can and concluded, "So, we had two guests at home today, and so many funny things happened?"
Ying nodded vigorously, then quickly added, "That's right, that's right, one named Aino. I remember her, she seems to be... the creator of that robot, Ineff? Am I right?"
She paused, then smiled and said, "There's another one named Jakoda, who lives at Mr. Diluc's Dawn Winery. I think she's Diluc's business partner. Her double fruit rolls are delicious, filled with berry pieces, and they're perfect with coffee."
As Shao Yun listened, he stretched and then casually started talking about his experience at the Sacred Flame Arena that day, or rather, complaining about it.
"You wouldn't believe it, I went to the Olympic Arena to help out today. The work of settling the refugees was absolutely exhausting! I was busy all day long, without even a moment to drink water."
He frowned and waved his hand dismissively.
"Honestly, this job is much more tiring than herding livestock on the ranch. If someone hires me for no reason, even if they offer me a lot of Mora, I won't do it! It's too exhausting."
After complaining, he couldn't help but laugh and added, "No wonder Ningguang refused to help at the Holy Flame Arena. With her small frame, she would probably be exhausted to death if she did that kind of work for a day."
Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud as she listened to his complaints. Just as she was about to tease him, her gaze inadvertently swept over the two single sofas next to the living room window.
Sora and Abe were sitting there, looking gloomy and downcast ever since they returned that evening. They didn't say a word, and their whole bodies exuded a listless energy, like eggplants that had been hit by frost.
Ying stopped smiling, coughed lightly twice, and deliberately raised her voice a few decibels to remind him:
"Brother, Yuanshang, what's wrong with you two? You seem distracted and absent-minded. Is something wrong? Tell us what's going on, and we can discuss it together."
Hearing Ying's reminder, Kong, who had been frowning, suddenly came back to his senses.
He raised his head, gently patted his cheeks with both hands, trying to dispel the worry on his face, pretending that nothing was wrong, and forced a smile to cover it up:
"Oh, it's nothing, little sister. Don't worry about it. It's just a small work-related problem. It's nothing serious. We can handle it ourselves."
But the way his eyes darted around clearly indicated that he wasn't telling the truth.
Seeing Kong's evasive gaze, Ying's doubts deepened. She didn't press Kong further but turned to look at Yuan Shang beside her.
"Yuanshang, what exactly happened? My brother won't tell me, but you should at least tell me, right? The way you two are is worrying."
Awakening, who was absent-minded, was startled by Ying's question. After realizing what was happening, he scratched his head like Kong and deliberately laughed it off, changing the subject by talking about other things.
"Oh, it's nothing, Your Highness, nothing's really wrong! It's just... I'm just a little tired today."
"Oh, right, Your Highness, did you heat up the food I put in the refrigerator for you today? Was it good? Did it suit your taste?"
Ying stared at Kong and Yuan, and the more she looked, the more uneasy she felt. All sorts of strange and bizarre guesses kept popping into her mind.
Was her brother threatened by Abyss and forced to take photos in women's clothing? Or was her brother sexually assaulted by members of the Abyss Order?
What secrets are hidden between these two grown men?
She pouted and complained, "You two are really strange... acting all mysterious, you're definitely hiding something from me."
Even so, she couldn't figure it out for the time being, so she could only frown and stare at the two of them with a puzzled look.
Sora and Abyss felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze, and could only barely maintain their smiles, their eyes constantly darting around, afraid that Ying would see through their disguise.
In this awkward and strange atmosphere, a loud banging suddenly came from the living room door.
The loud bangs, so powerful they seemed about to smash the door open, instantly interrupted their thoughts.
Accompanied by the urgent banging on the door, Skylark's usually cool voice, tinged with a rare loss of composure, came clearly through the door.
"Mr. Shao Yun! It's an emergency! Open the door, open the door!"
Upon hearing Silky's voice, Shao Yun didn't dare delay for a moment. He jumped off the sofa and rushed to the door, shouting back as he ran:
"Coming! Stop smashing! Stop smashing! If you keep smashing, the door will break! Xining has been busy lately, and no one has been there to fix our front door!"
He quickly unlocked the door, and as soon as he opened it, he saw Skirk clenching his fist. Due to the force of the impact, he accidentally punched Shao Yun in the chest.
Shao Yun reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side and barely avoiding the punch.
After avoiding the noise, Shao Yun immediately made a gesture to lower his voice and reminded him, "Keep it down! What's the rush?"
"Shen He is upstairs trying to put my daughter to sleep. If you make a racket like this and wake her up, you'll be the one to put her to sleep, not me!"
Silky had no interest in exchanging pleasantries with Shao Yun, nor did she heed his reminder. She spoke rapidly, picking out the most crucial points:
"Mr. Shao Yun, there's no time to explain this to you! Something terrible has happened! Teyvat is about to be destroyed! Now, as we agreed before, I've come to evacuate your family. Any later and it will be too late!"
Upon hearing Silky's astonishing words, Shao Yun froze, his expression instantly shifting from confusion to shock.
The statement "Teyvat is going to be destroyed" was as absurd to him as hearing that Paimon had developed anorexia and could no longer eat or ask for food.
But he also knew that Skirk was always composed and not the type to joke about something so serious.
But this matter was too unbelievable and too shocking, and he simply couldn't accept it for the time being.
So, Shao Yun simply moved his throat and let out a gasp of disbelief.
"what?"
When Silky met Shao Yun's skepticism and disbelief, her face remained expressionless, like a frozen melon on a snowy mountain, without a trace of a joke.
"I'm not kidding you, I sense the dark destiny from beyond the heavens is about to invade! This time, Teyvat can't escape it!"
As she spoke, she took a step closer, urging him repeatedly.
"That's why I rushed here overnight to find you and get you out of Teyvat! Now is the time, don't waste any time, hurry up and get ready, let's leave now! If we're any later, it might really be too late!"
Looking at Silky's expression, Shao Yun knew that she was definitely not joking with him.
But he subconsciously looked up at the moonless, dark night without a trace of moonlight.
However, he still couldn't imagine that Teyvat would suddenly face a crisis of destruction, and he was even more puzzled as to how Skykirk had sensed all of this.
He composed himself and cautiously pressed further, "Could it be that your premonition is wrong? I mean, how can you be so sure about something so important? How did you sense this 'intrusion'?"
He had to find out the truth; it concerned the lives of his family, and there was no room for carelessness.
Silky frowned, clearly not wanting to waste too much time explaining, but knowing Shao Yun's concerns, she simply used the simplest and most straightforward language that even Paimon could understand to quickly explain the reasons.
"Because the abyssal power within Teyvat has begun to stir on a large scale."
“Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma! The concentration of Abyss power in these three regions has far exceeded the normal range, and it is still rising.”
"Moreover, my adaptability to the power of the abyss far exceeds that of ordinary people, which makes me exceptionally sensitive to fluctuations in the power of the abyss,"
"I'm certain, there's no mistake! This restlessness is definitely not accidental; it's a harbinger of an invasion by the dark forces of fate from beyond the heavens!"
As she spoke, Skykirk raised her hand, waving her hands and feet, which were imbued with the power of the abyss, to prove that what she said was true, her eyes filled with an undeniable determination.
Shao Yun looked at the limbs formed from the power of the abyss, then at Silky's resolute expression...
Well, he has always trusted professionals.
Since Skykirk, who is extremely sensitive to the power of the Abyss, is completely certain that Teyvat will be invaded by the Abyss on a large scale and that Teyvat cannot escape this calamity.
At this moment, the most important thing is to figure out how much preparation time they have left.
So he stepped forward, his earlier panic gone, and asked in a deep voice, "I understand, let's not waste any more time. Tell me, how much time do we have left?"
