Chapter 960 The Growing Ying
……
However, at this moment, something completely unexpected happened to Kong.
There was only a slight sound of wind, and Zhongli slowly fell from the sky with his hands behind his back.
His expression seemed a little complicated, hiding many things on his mind.
Zhongli's appearance surprised both Kong and Ying, especially Kong. He immediately protected Ying behind him, staring at Zhongli warily, and asked unhappily:
"God of Rock! What are you doing here?"
In response to Kong's questioning, Zhongli slowly explained, "I have come to fulfill the contract between Mr. Shao Yun and Xiao. We, the Liyue Immortals, are here to greet Mr. Shao Yun."
Ying still has some good feelings towards Zhongli.
At least, they really stick to the facts and deal with each matter separately. The conflict with Shao Yun will not involve Ying.
Moreover, Zhongli did not take any cruel actions such as kidnapping her like Wendy did.
What's more, in some aspects, Zhongli is really good to Ying...
So, Ying calmed down a bit and asked calmly, "Is Xianyun here?"
Before Ying finished speaking, idle clouds were seen floating down from the sky.
She landed steadily on the ground, then slowly pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose and explained:
"Ying, your child Xi is now safe and sound in the Jade Pavilion. Shen He and Ning Guang are taking good care of Xi."
Hearing the news that the child was safe, Ying finally felt relieved.
Shen He is a reliable person and the child's godmother.
When she was in Fontaine, she was already very adept at taking care of children.
However, when Ying heard that Ningguang was also taking care of the child, it felt a little out of place.
"Why would Ningguang take care of my child?" Ying frowned, with a hint of displeasure in her tone.
Her feelings towards Ningguang were complex.
On the one hand, Ningguang was quite friendly to her most of the time;
But on the other hand, Ningguang once tried to seduce her husband, which Ying could never let go of...
Faced with Ying's question, Xianyun seemed a little embarrassed.
Her eyes unconsciously dodged to the side, and then she explained hesitantly:
"Um... well, I'm really sorry, but I'm a little short on money lately and can't afford any baby supplies, so I've had to ask Ningguang for some help."
After hearing Xianyun's explanation, Ying was speechless.
She muttered to herself, "It's okay that Zhongli has no money, but how come even you immortals are so broke?"
"Is this a fine tradition among the Liyue Immortals? They never carry any money..."
However, as the old saying goes, a little effort can bring down a hero, and bending over backwards for a few pieces of silver... well, it's not shameful...
"So that's what happened."
……
Zhongli watched Ying and Paimon being safely released by Wendy, and he felt completely relieved.
What Zhongli fears most now is that Venti will take Ying and Paimon as hostages.
If this happens, the enraged Shao Yun will definitely ask me to lead the Liyue immortals in a war against Wendy, and the consequences will be disastrous...
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Zhongli took the opportunity to suggest:
"Now that Miss Ying has been safely released, the Liyue Immortals and I intend to fulfill our contract with Mr. Shao Yun and escort Miss Ying to the Qun Yu Pavilion in Liyue Harbor to reunite with her child."
Having said this, Zhongli leaned forward slightly, conveying his sincerity to Kong.
When Kong heard that Zhongli was going to escort his sister to reunite with his niece, he narrowed his eyes warily and began to carefully consider Zhongli's intentions.
He wondered if Zhongli would take the opportunity to kidnap his sister.
"Can I trust you?"
Kong doesn't want to let his sister escape from the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's den again.
If Zhongli kidnapped his sister, Kong would really go on a killing spree without even waiting for Shao Yun to lose his temper!
Xiao flashed to Zhongli's side and said expressionlessly to the air, "Don't worry. I have signed a contract with Mr. Shao Yun and will definitely protect Miss Ying."
Upon hearing this, Kong sneered and said sarcastically, "The promises made by you seven gods and immortals are as credible as waste paper in my eyes!"
Seeing that Kong was so disdainful of his promise, Zhongli did not get angry. Instead, he turned his gaze to Ying and left the decision to her.
"Everything ultimately depends on Miss Ying's wishes. Ying, the choice is yours..."
Upon hearing this, Ying first looked towards Liyue with a complicated look in her eyes.
Then she turned her head and stared in Mond's direction, weighing the pros and cons.
After a long while, Ying finally made up her mind and replied, "I want to wait for my husband to come back. Since my child is safe, I'm not in a hurry."
After hearing this, Zhongli looked towards the west thoughtfully.
He thought for a moment and speculated, "In my opinion, Mr. Shao Yun should arrive here soon, about ten minutes or so."
After hearing about ten minutes, Ying asked in confusion, "Why is the time so precise?"
Zhongli glanced down at the ground beneath his feet, then explained, "It's complicated to explain..."
When Ying heard that Zhongli couldn't explain it clearly, she simply stopped asking and said, "Okay then..."
……
Afterwards, Ying sat on a tree stump while waiting, adjusted her posture, and sat there quietly, waiting for the arrival of her lover "Shao Yun".
At the same time, Paimon also "loyally" floated beside Ying, protecting her.
Not far away, Kong Yuyuan was confronting the Liyue immortals led by Zhongli.
The atmosphere between them was strange and unusual. There was no fierce quarrel or obvious hostility, but rather an uneasy calmness.
The two sides just faced each other quietly, and no one spoke first to break the silence.
Time passed minute by minute, and ten minutes went by in a flash.
Suddenly, a slight buzzing sound broke the silence.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few locusts flying from a distance, like spies, scouting for threats ahead, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves behind them.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and everyone's eyes were focused on the end of the road.
The apocalyptic horse "Famine" appeared in their sight.
And the person riding on the horse was Shao Yun.
He rushed from Nata to Mond in one night.
Shao Yun caught a glimpse of the glow on the distant tree stump.
She was wearing a spotless white dress, still having the noble temperament of a princess, fresh and refined.
In the morning light, the short golden hair seemed to be coated with a faint halo, sparkling with charming light.
Ying's face is still as beautiful as ever, as charming as when we first met.
Shao Yun couldn't suppress his inner emotions. Before the horse under him had completely stopped, he jumped off impatiently. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he ran towards Ying regardless of everything.
Shao Yun ran wildly, shouting Ying's name at the top of his lungs: "Ying!"
Ying saw Shao Yun running towards her from afar, and the excitement in her heart was beyond words.
She stood up and rushed towards Shao Yun, shouting as loudly.
"husband!"
Finally, Shao Yun and Ying met halfway.
Shao Yun hugged Ying tightly in his arms. Ying was not to be outdone and hugged Shao Yun tightly with her arms, fearing that he would suddenly disappear.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and they could clearly feel each other's breathing.
At this moment, time stopped flowing, and we were completely immersed in the joy and warmth of reunion.
After taking a short breath, Shao Yun let go of Ying and looked at her with concern, asking her if she had been abused during her kidnapping by Wendy.
"Ying, you and Paimon have been together for the past two or three months... Has that bastard Wendy bullied you?"
Ying shook her head. Although a trace of grievance flashed in her eyes, she still answered truthfully:
"No, Wendy just trapped Paimon and me on an island and then used a wind wall to trap us and prevent us from leaving."
Before she finished speaking, Ying seemed to suddenly remember something, and buried her face deeply in Shao Yun's arms, saying aggrievedly:
"Wow, I miss you and my brother so much, wow~"
Shao Yun looked at Ying, whose face was full of grievances and looked like a wounded kitten. He gently stroked the back of Ying's head and said softly, "I'm so sorry, but I'm so sorry, ...
"Don't think about those unhappy things anymore. It will all be over soon."
At this moment, Zhongli stood aside, watching the young couple quietly.
He really couldn't bear to interrupt such a heartwarming scene, but he still had to say something.
"Mr. Shao Yun." Zhongli finally spoke.
Shao Yun hugged Ying, turned to look at Zhongli, and asked calmly: "Zhongli? What's wrong? Do you want to go with me to find Wendy?"
Zhongli slowly shook his head and explained, "According to the agreement between you and Xiao, the immortals of Liyue will not accompany you to fight the Wind God."
"Our duty is only to protect your family and ensure that your duel with the Wind God is not interfered with by others."
Shao Yun didn't care about this. He grinned and answered readily:
"Whatever, as long as you can take good care of my wife and Paimon! And..."
At this point, Shao Yun's face changed. This is not right. Where is his child!!!
"Oh, where is my child!!!" Shao Yun was shocked. Could it be that this beast Wendy was taking his child hostage?
Beside Zhongli, the True Lord of Liuyunjiefeng, Xianyun, quickly replied, "Calm down, Mr. Shao Yun, your child is safe!"
When Shao Yun heard Xianyun say that his child was safe, he felt a little relieved. Xianyun would not lie to him about this.
Because, to a certain extent, his daughter is Shen He's goddaughter, Shen He is Xian Yun's land, and Xian Yun is, to a certain extent, also his daughter's "grandmother"!
They are related, so how could she possibly harm her own daughter...
It seems that Wendy understands that there are some red lines that cannot be crossed.
……
After confirming that his wife and children were safe, Shao Yun could finally go and settle the score with Wendy with peace of mind.
Shao Yun gently stroked Ying's cheek and said softly, "I'm going to kill Wendy. Ying, wait for my good news."
As he spoke, Shao Yun slowly lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on Ying's forehead.
After a brief moment of intimacy, he was ready to settle the score with Wendy.
Just as Shao Yun turned to head back to Mond, he suddenly felt a slight pull.
He stopped and looked back, only to see Ying holding his arm tightly with a reluctant look on her face.
He looked at Ying, whose beautiful eyes were now staring at him, and the tenderness in her eyes made his heart tremble slightly.
"I want to discuss something with you!"
Ying's tone was very serious, and Shao Yun's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
This scene seemed familiar. More than two years ago, when he led the Coral Palace army to capture the Jiujo Zhenya and was about to pursue the victory and attack Mingshen Island, Ying had stopped him in the same way.
The memory flashed through Shao Yun's mind. He looked at Ying and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ying took a deep breath, looked into Shao Yun's eyes, and said softly, "I want to discuss something with you."
Shao Yun's heart tightened. He didn't know what Ying was going to say, but from her expression and tone, he felt that this matter was very important to her.
"What? You don't want me to kill Wendy?"
Ying shook her head, her eyebrows raised in anger, and said, "What are you thinking? I'm not that mean!"
Then, Ying raised a finger seriously and said, "Only kill Wendy! No matter how others try to stop you, you can't kill her!"
"Just cripple him at most and leave the innocent man alive!"
"If you can't do that, then I'd rather you didn't kill Wendy! Let's go now!"
When Shao Yun heard Ying support him in killing Wendy, he felt so relieved.
Ying has grown up, she finally sees the reality!
