Chapter 1114 Albedo's Troubles
As more and more guests came to the wedding, the lawn on the ranch gradually became lively, and laughter and joy floated into the house through the windows.
In the bedroom on the second floor, today's heroine Ying was sitting in front of the dressing table, making final preparations before the wedding.
The wedding dress specially customized for her by Qianzhi was spread on the chair. It was made of layers of white lace, and the hem was embroidered with delicate silver patterns, giving off a soft luster in the sunlight.
Ying was wearing a pair of long white silk gloves, and her fingertips rested lightly on the edge of the dressing table, making her hands look even more slender and long.
The gauze headdress on her head is light and flowing, and the gauze as thin as a cicada's wing hangs down on her shoulders, adding a hazy beauty to her.
The most eye-catching thing is the two white "Intivat" flowers in her hair, which make her look like a white princess from a fairy tale, pure and moving.
Ying looked at herself in the mirror wearing a wedding dress, gently stroking the lace on her chest, and whispered softly:
"Hmm, I never thought that I would have a wedding day..."
“I always thought I had a long way to go in my adventures, but I never thought I would stop here and have a home of my own.”
Paimeng floated beside Ying, looking at her wearing a wedding dress and veil. He excitedly shook his short legs and exclaimed:
"Hehe, Ying, you look so beautiful in your wedding dress! Even prettier than the fairy tale princesses I saw in picture books! Shao Yun will definitely drool when he sees you like this!"
Ying was amused by Paimeng's exaggerated tone, and a sweet curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Thank you, Paimon. Thank you for your hard work, staying with me throughout the preparations."
Shen He, who was standing aside, also smiled and nodded, his eyes full of blessings.
She was not holding Xi at the moment, because in order to let her concentrate on accompanying Ying to prepare for the wedding, Kong offered to help take care of his own niece.
……
In the bedroom opposite the room, Kong was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Xi, who was wrapped in a swaddle, as if he was "oblivious to what was happening outside."
While his sister and brother-in-law were busy entertaining guests and preparing for the wedding, and everyone else was busy with their own things, he had the chance to hug the little guy a little longer.
After all, after the wedding, Shao Yun and Ying will definitely focus more on Xi. At that time, it will not be so easy for him to hold his niece alone.
……
Shen He looked at Ying in her wedding dress in the mirror and said, "Ying, you are so beautiful that you seem to have walked out of a painting!"
Ying lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly after being praised by Shen He. She gently twisted the hem of her wedding dress with her hands and whispered:
"Don't praise me, I feel embarrassed..."
Paimeng floated aside, looking Ying up and down, tilting his head slightly, and suddenly suggested:
"Ying, do you want to put on some makeup? I remember reading in novels that brides would look even more beautiful with beautiful makeup!"
Upon hearing this, Ying shook her head slightly, with a helpless and casual smile on her face.
"No, let's just go with no makeup. Putting on makeup is a hassle, and I think it's fine this way. It's not comfortable to be natural."
"If I put on makeup, it would be bad if it rubs against Xi's face when I hold her in my arms later. The child is still young..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out and picked up the bouquet on the dressing table. It was specially made for her by Shen He according to the book Yuan Shang found.
Ying held the flowers carefully, and gently lifted the hem of her wedding dress with her other hand. Under the guidance of Shenhe and Paimon, she slowly walked out of the bedroom.
Arriving at the living room on the first floor, (Xinoning was still lying on the sofa catching up on his sleep), Shen He helped Ying straighten her drooping veil, while Paimeng was spinning around excitedly.
Then, the two of them pushed open the door to the living room together.
Ying took a deep breath, lifted the hem of her wedding dress, and slowly walked out of the house.
As soon as she appeared, the guests who were chatting suddenly quieted down and turned to look at her, their eyes full of amazement.
The sunlight shone on her white wedding dress, and her veil fluttered gently in the wind. She looked like a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Is Ying really a human? Why is she so unbelievably beautiful?
At this moment, Jade in the crowd was the first to react. She completely unleashed the bold and passionate character of a girl from the Xumi Desert, skipping a few steps towards Ying, waving her hands and shouting loudly:
"Ying! You're so beautiful! I'm here!"
Ying heard Jade's familiar call and looked in the direction of the sound, just in time to see the figure in desert-style clothing, jumping around. She stopped and waved gently to Jade.
"Jade, you're here! I was worried you wouldn't make it to the wedding today."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jade ran to Ying's front like a gust of wind, jumping and skipping. The small energy construct "Benben" also followed her and spun happily beside her, and the blades made a tiny "sizzling" sound.
"As soon as I received your letter, I immediately packed my bags and set off with Benben!"
"I was worried I'd be late while crossing the desert, but luckily I met Mr. Kinich, who gave me a ride, so I finally arrived before the ceremony started!"
As she spoke, Jade suddenly stretched out her hands and gently placed them on Ying's shoulders. She leaned forward slightly, like a clingy puppy, and said coquettishly to Ying:
"Ying, I miss you so much! Ever since we broke up, I've been thinking about when I can go on adventures with you again. I was so happy to receive your wedding invitation that I couldn't sleep all night!"
Ying was amused by Jade's affectionate look. She rolled her eyes, looked at her best friend who was looking forward to it, and invited her with a smile:
"Well, Jade, since you're here, how about I have some fun with you in Nata a few days after the wedding?"
"Really?" Jade moved forward excitedly and gave Ying a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"Okay, okay! I'll trouble you during this time!"
Ying touched the kissed cheek and smiled helplessly and dotingly.
Jade is still so enthusiastic and direct.
The guests present looked at the intimate actions of the two with kind smiles on their faces and did not find anything strange.
After all, it’s not strange for girls to kiss each other!
……
Just when the ranch wedding scene was lively and warm, a figure was standing quietly on the colorful stone cliff in the distance.
The wind blew the corners of her clothes and made her hair messy, but it did not affect her gaze at all.
This person is Alice!
Alice was watching everything on the ranch coldly from a distance.
Previously, after her plan to trick Mavica into destroying Shao Yun's family failed, she did temporarily flee from Nata in order to avoid Mavica's pursuit.
But she had never really given up the idea of targeting Shao Yun. Now that the news had died down, she quietly sneaked back and chose this cliff with a wide view. She secretly observed every detail of the wedding, as if looking for the opportunity to strike.
However, Alice is not that stupid. She is just here to scout the area and wait until everything is ready before taking action.
Just as she was observing, a cute-looking Duduko communicator floated up, and the voice of Albedo, who was far away in Mondstadt, came.
Alice glanced at the communicator and answered the call.
"Albedo, what's up? Am I busy?"
Albedo on the other end of the communicator said nervously, "Ms. Alice, there is very urgent bad news about Durin."
"I have tried many times in the world of Himulanka, but I have never been able to awaken the pure soul of Durin created by Ms. 'Andersdotter'."
"What's worse is that the remains of Durin in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain have become very active."
"Once it resurrects, with the power strengthened by the blood of the gods of wind and rock, it will not only completely destroy Mondstadt, but may even affect the entire continent of Teyvat!"
When Alice heard that it was another "world-destroying disaster", she couldn't help but sigh.
Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly!
All her focus now is on how to kill Shao Yun, this "human disaster", and she has no time to deal with another crisis.
After a brief hesitation, her heart instantly turned cold.
In her opinion, Du Lin's existence was a hidden danger. Since he couldn't be saved, it would be better to solve the problem completely to avoid wasting energy.
As for the wish of Witch M "Andersdotter", I can only apologize.
She spoke into the Duducom, her tone calm and almost cruel.
"Since you can't bring out a pure soul, and the resurrection of the demon dragon Durin will cause such a big trouble, then... Albedo, you should kill Durin."
Then, Alice thought of Shao Yun, who had been allowed to grow up, and said:
"Rather than letting it become a threat to Teyvat's destruction, it's better to completely eradicate it now and save ourselves the trouble of cleaning up the mess later."
Albedo heard Alice's light voice on the other end of the communicator, "Just kill Durin," and almost showed a "Ben Bo Ba" expression.
Alice, you are really like "a tea party in a nursing home, talking about useless things"!
What level of existence is Du Lin? Even the Wind God Barbatos couldn't completely eliminate him, and now he is strengthened by the blood of the gods.
If I, Albedo, had the ability to kill it single-handedly, I would have given up being an alchemist and become the God of Wind... No, I am a Rock-type, so I would be the God of Rock!
Although shocked, Albedo quickly calmed down and said seriously to the communicator:
"Ms. Alice, with all due respect, I'm not sure I can kill Du Lin 100%."
"You should know that even Lord Barbatos couldn't completely destroy it. Moreover, Durin has been strengthened by the 'Divine Blood' and is far more powerful than before. I'm not sure I can handle it at all."
He paused, and Shao Yun's figure suddenly flashed through his mind. Perhaps Shao Yun could find a way to solve Du Lin's crisis?
After all, he can kill the God of Wind!
Thinking of this, Albedo quickly said, "How about we ask Mr. Shao Yun for help? I believe that with his ability, he will definitely be able to deal with Du Lin's problem!"
But just as he finished speaking, Alice's angry voice came from the other end of the communicator. Her sharp tone penetrated the communicator and she shouted:
"Ask Shao Yun? Are you crazy? Our goal now is to kill him. We are incompatible with him. How could he possibly help us?"
"Perhaps he's hoping Durin will destroy Mondstadt so he can reap the benefits!"
Alice's words stunned Albedo for a moment. He understood Alice's hostility towards Shao Yun, but he didn't understand why it was so deep.
Besides, if Mr. Shao Yun really wanted to destroy Mond, he would have countless opportunities to do so.
The most recent time, he could have just massacred the entire city after killing Lord Wind God, but he didn't do that.
