Chapter 1099: Alice plots against Mavica (Part 2)
Seeing that Mavica hesitated, Alice knew that this was the best time to press the advantage.
She immediately slowed down her tone and stopped using the word "crisis" to put pressure on her. Instead, she used a tone full of temptation to describe the various benefits of "establishing an intimate relationship with Shao Yun", paving a shortcut full of flowers in front of Mavica.
"Now there's a permanent solution. If you can become Mr. Shao Yun's lover and establish a more stable and intimate relationship with him, the Fatui will never dare to break off relations with you."
She leaned forward and said firmly, "By then, you will be his woman and a part of his family."
"If the Fatui dare to use force, dare to touch Nata's God's Heart, dare to hurt you, how can Shao Yun just sit back and watch?"
"With his strength, he can definitely make those Fatui pay the price, and even make the Queen of Winter consider the consequences!"
Then, Alice changed the angle and hit the softest part of her heart.
"And from a personal point of view, don't you want to take a good rest?"
"You shoulder the responsibility of protecting Nata, dealing with the crisis in the abyss, guarding against the Fatui, and coordinating conflicts between the various tribes. Aren't you tired?
Becoming Shao Yun's lover, you can not only use his power to protect Nata, but also relieve yourself of some of the burden, and no longer have to fight alone like you do now."
"This is a good thing for both Nata and you, with absolutely no harm!"
Every word Alice said touched Mavica's heart.
She was indeed a little tired and began to fantasize, "It would be nice if there was someone who could help share the burden with me."
She was indeed afraid that the doctor would really threaten her with the safety of the Nata people.
Although the Nata people are not afraid of sacrifice, but... if sacrifice can really be avoided...
The thought of "whether to give it a try" flashed through Mavica's mind.
What if it really succeeds? Then Nata will have Shao Yun's protection, and he won't have to work so hard anymore...
But just when this idea was about to take root, Mavica suddenly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes five seconds later, the hesitation in her eyes had been replaced by determination.
"No... still no. Even if all these benefits can be achieved, I can't do anything to let Shao Yun's family down."
She raised her hand and pressed her chest to calm her surging emotions.
"Put yourself in her shoes. If I were Ying, and saw someone interfering in my marriage with Shao Yun, even if I was forced to accept it for various reasons, I would definitely feel sad and wronged."
"I can't destroy the family that Shao Yun and Ying have worked so hard to build just because of my own difficulties. I can't do such a thing!"
Mavica knew that the future Alice described was tempting, like a piece of honey right before her eyes.
But she knew better that behind this piece of honey were Ying's tears and Shao Yun's embarrassment, and the abyss that violated her own moral bottom line.
No matter how tired or scared she is, she will never exchange other people's happiness for so-called "stability".
When Alice saw Mavica refuse again, the smile on her face froze for a moment, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
She didn't expect that Mavica would be so "unyielding". Even at this point, she was still sticking to the so-called "bottom line".
But she did not give up, but just silently adjusted her strategy in her mind.
It seems that "temptation" and "pressure" alone are not enough, and a more direct method must be used to force Mavica to "take action".
……
At this moment, Mavica, who remained true to her heart, met Alice's gaze and, without a trace of hesitation, clearly refused again:
"Ms. Alice, I know you're doing this for my own good and Nata's. I also understand that you don't want me to have a hard time. I've kept all of this in mind."
"But I must keep my distance from Shao Yun! I can't harm Shao Yun's family just for my own selfish reasons."
"He and Ying are so in love, and they have a lovely baby. How could I ruin their happiness? If I really did that, what's the difference between me and the Wind God?"
At this point, she spoke with powerful force, "The Wind God kidnapped Ying in the name of 'saving the world'!"
"If I break up other people's families in the name of 'love', it's essentially selfish! I would never do such a thing."
Even though she still desires an "easy life" in her heart and is still worried about Nata's safety, she will never use immoral means to exchange anything.
Seeing that Mavica was unmoved and all the temptations and pressures could not shake her bottom line, Alice knew that she could not delay any longer and immediately used her last trick.
She pretended to sigh helplessly and suddenly said something that made Mavica's heart stop.
"Is that so? It seems that Mr. Shao Yun cannot escape death."
The words "Mr. Shao Yun is doomed to die" frightened Mavica to the point of panic.
The ups and downs of my mood caused by Alice's "teasing" just now were instantly replaced by panic.
His previous calmness and determination were gone. He grabbed Alice's arm and asked urgently, "Mr. Shao Yun is doomed to die? What does this mean?"
Alice looked at Mavica who was so worried that she was confused, and mocked her in her heart. Why is she pretending to be so reserved? Isn't she exposed now?
But on the surface, she still maintained a compassionate look and shook her head slightly.
"Miss Ying has the power to 'purify' the abyss. She is the key to saving Teyvat in the future."
"But now, Shao Yun has killed the Wind God and taken Ying away from the conflict to settle in Nata, which is equivalent to kidnapping the 'key to saving the world'."
"How could the Ruler of Time and the Ruler of Life tolerate such a thing? They have already regarded Shao Yun as a hidden danger that 'hinders the salvation of the world' and will soon take action against him."
Then, Alice started talking nonsense and making up perfect lies.
"I know Mr. Shao Yun is innocent, and I don't want to see him die like this. In order to let him survive, I went to the Ruler of Time and the Ruler of Life and made a deal."
She paused deliberately to whet Mavica's appetite. Seeing that Mavica's eyes were fixed on her, she slowly said:
"The deal is simple. As long as Mr. Shao Yun temporarily leaves Ying, allowing her to continue her journey and focus on saving the world, the two rulers will forgive Shao Yun for 'killing the Wind God' and 'kidnapping Ying'."
"When the world is saved in the future, Shao Yun and Ying will be reunited."
At this point, Alice changed the subject and said with regret:
"But you also know that the couple is living well now. It's inevitable that they will be sad if they suddenly separate. Mr. Shao Yun will be alone in Nata with the child. He will definitely be lonely and need comfort."
"So, I thought, I need to find someone to stay with Shao Yun and help him ease the pain of separation."
"It just so happens that on my way to Nata, I heard a lot of people talking about your relationship with Mr. Shao Yun."
"He's settled in Nata now. After Ying leaves, you can stay with him and help this family through the difficult times. Isn't this also helping Nata retain a powerful force?"
Alice became more and more "sincere" in her words, and even began to "plan" for Mavica.
"But, if you really wait until Ying leaves before slowly accompanying Shao Yun, it would be a waste of time."
"This kind of thing can stabilize the relationship in advance and reassure everyone. It will benefit everyone if it is finalized as soon as possible..."
"Shao Yun doesn't have to suffer alone, you won't be so lonely, and Nata will have an extra layer of security. How wonderful."
Having said that, Alice showed a sincere smile that said "I'm thinking of you" and continued to induce Mavica with outrageous theories.
"You and Mr. Shao Yun are already in love. As long as you take the initiative, I believe your true feelings for Shao Yun will definitely be recognized by Shao Yun and Ying."
"By then, you and Ying will become friendly sisters, stay with Shao Yun together, and maintain a home together. This will not only make Shao Yun feel warm, but also allow Ying to go about saving the world without worry. Isn't this a win-win situation for everyone?"
Mavica listened to Alice's abstract theory, which was full of loopholes but seemed "reasonable".
Putting aside the question of "whether the two rulers would really make such a deal", the statement that "she would accompany Shao Yun after Ying left" and "she and Ying would become sisters and share a husband" reveals an indescribable weirdness.
Saving the world, Shao Yun's safety, Nata's interests and her own wishes are all tied together, which makes her feel ridiculous.
"This……"
Mavica was no fool, and she could vaguely sense that there was something fishy behind Alice's words.
But when he thought about the life-and-deal crisis Shao Yun might face, he couldn't help but want to believe this absurd "deal".
What if this is true? What if Shao Yun is truly hopeless if he refuses?
This contradictory idea put her in a dilemma again.
Alice looked at Mavica, her brow furrowed and lost in thought. Fearing she might figure out something, she gently patted her shoulder and said earnestly:
"Ms. Mavica, I'm doing this for you, for Nata, and even more for the Shao Yun family."
"Think about it, if something happens to Shao Yun, Ying will definitely collapse. Then the plan to save the world will be hindered, and Nata will lose a powerful helper. This will not benefit anyone."
She paused and emphasized her tone, trying to convince Mavica completely.
"Think about it carefully. This is good for you. It will help you realize your wish and you won't be alone anymore."
"It's good for Shao Yun's family. Shao Yun can survive, Ying can complete her mission with peace of mind, and the child can have a complete family. This is really the best solution at the moment."
After saying this, Alice didn't stay any longer.
Now we need to give Mavica time to "digest" the situation. Pushing her too hard may only arouse suspicion.
She stood up and smiled warmly at Mavica.
"I won't disturb you from thinking. Just take your time to figure it out. You can always come to me when you figure it out."
As soon as she finished speaking, Alice turned and walked towards the bedroom door.
She had already made up her mind that after leaving the office, she would hide in the dark nearby and observe to see if Mavica would really be persuaded and would take the initiative to find Shao Yun.
As long as Mavica takes the first step, her plan is halfway successful.
