Chapter 954: Mavica's true confession and the emo captain.
In the City of Ashes, Ochikanata, on the steps of the Holy Throne of Source Fire.
After Ruona left, Capitano seemed to have lost all his strength and slowly sat down on the steps.
"Why... How could the Reign of Death be so kind... and not ask for death as a reward..."
Shao Yun stood aside, quietly watching the man in disarray. His lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.
"..."
Capitano continued to mutter to himself.
"So many souls unable to return home are trapped in my body. Is this my fate?"
Shao Yun still didn't know what to say, wondering whether to leave and give him some space...
At this time, Capitano raised his head and looked at Shao Yun who was standing in front of him.
"Mr. Shao Yun, did you really defeat the Abyss that invaded Nata by yourself?"
Shao Yun looked at Capitano who was asking him questions and sighed in his heart.
He knew that this question would be asked sooner or later.
Afterwards, Shao Yun nodded and answered truthfully: "Yes, I solved the abyss entity."
"But I asked Mavica not to publicize it. I don't want Nata to become a household hero. So, let your fun be in vain?"
A glimmer of hope ignited in Capitano's heart, and he asked, "So, how did you destroy the Abyss itself? Can you tell me about it?"
Shao Yun touched his chin and explained in plain language:
"How should I put it? It's very complicated. Do you remember the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse that I tamed during the Abyss' invasion of Nata? Plague, war, famine, and death."
"It was with their power that I was able to resolve the abyss itself."
When Capitano heard the word "death", a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, and he asked: "Since you have the power of death, can you kill me and send the soul in my heart into the earth veins?"
Shao Yun was not sure whether he could break the curse of immortality imposed on Capitano by the abyss.
But even if he could really do it, the result would probably be very different from what Capitano had in mind.
"I may be able to break the curse of immortality on you, but the way you die is not what you think."
"In short, you don't want to turn your comrades' souls into some kind of sashimi."
When Capitano heard this, he immediately understood that the "death" that Shao Yun mentioned was different from his idea of his soul returning to the Kingdom of the Night God.
I wanted to free the soul in my body, but others could only make it turn into ashes...
Capitano muttered hopelessly, "So, the best solution now is for me to become a container and continue to preserve the homeless soul in my heart?"
Shao Yun nodded slightly, sighed softly, and said, "That's right, now that things have come to this, let's take it one step at a time..."
Capitano lowered his head and said with a dead heart: "I just want the souls of those who died in the battle to return to the earth and find peace. They should not endure such torture..."
Shao Yun felt a little sorry when he saw Capitano's hopeless look.
He took a step forward, patted Capitano's shoulder gently, and said, "Should I say sorry?" There was a hint of guilt in his voice.
When Capitano heard this, he thought about it carefully and realized that Shao Yun could not be blamed for this matter.
He had not revealed his plan to anyone, so if anything went wrong it was not Shao Yun's fault.
"No, it's not your fault. Thank you for saving Nata."
"The purpose of my trip is to save Nata. This is my top priority... As for my personal plan, it needs to take a back seat compared to saving Nata."
Seeing that Capitano had literally chosen to be relieved, Shao Yun didn't know what to say, so he changed the topic to the Heart of God.
"Well, I wish you good luck. You can talk to Mavica about the Heart of God. Don't worry, even though I'm going to live in Nata, I won't get involved in such political affairs."
Capitano nodded. Now that Nata was rescued, the task of obtaining the Heart of God had to be put on the agenda.
However, Capitano needs to go through a period of emotional depression now...
"Got it. Let's put the matter of the Heart of God aside for now. I need to be alone for a while and calm down."
Shao Yun looked at the emo Capitano, nodded, and left the space to him.
……
After talking with Capitano, Shao Yun's gaze shifted to Mavica and Sitrali not far away.
Xitlari noticed Shao Yun's gaze. She glanced at Mavica lightly, then quickly gave her a wink, and then silently stepped aside, becoming an insignificant background board.
Shao Yun walked up to Mavica with mixed feelings and greeted her, "Mavica."
Mavica hadn't realized how explosive what Shao Yun was going to tell her next was.
Her expression was still very calm, but her eyes revealed a hint of doubt and expectation.
"Mr. Shao Yun, is there anything wrong?"
Shao Yun took out the confession letter she had given him from his backpack. The envelope had been opened.
"Your letter, I'm sorry, I already know the contents."
Mavica stared at the opened envelope with her eyes wide open in shock... What was she expecting just now?!
After a long while, she stammered, "Didn't I tell you not to look at it until you rescue your wife and children..."
Shao Yun scratched his head, an awkward smile appeared on his face, and he pursed his lips, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Well, I felt bored on the way to see you, so... I opened it and read it to kill time..."
Mavica collapsed when she thought that Shao Yun had seen the most disgusting words she had written!
What's the point of ruling by death? Why doesn't he just die himself?
"Ugh!!!" Mavica's face turned red like a boiling kettle.
Shao Yun could feel the burning temperature on Mavica's cheek from a distance of about one or two meters.
Immediately afterwards, Mavica snatched the letter from Shao Yun's hand, ignited a ball of fire in her hand, and burned this disgusting confession letter to ashes.
Then, Mavica threw the fire into the sky again to destroy the body.
The ashes were blown away by the wind and disappeared completely.
Although Mavica had destroyed the letter, the contents of the letter had already been seen by Shao Yun... How embarrassing!
But Mavica changed her mind and, seeing that things had come to this point, decided to just go for broke and pour out everything she wanted to say.
"Well, since you've seen it all, and I'm not going to die, I'll be honest with you."
Then, Mavica looked into Shao Yun's eyes, placed her right hand gently on her chest, and expressed her feelings sincerely.
"I really have an indescribable affection for you, this feeling comes from the bottom of my heart, and I can't resist it.
I can't control my love for you, and I can't help myself."
She paused, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, and continued, "But you're already married. I can't shamelessly interfere with your life and destroy your family."
"So, I figured out a way to express my love for you without causing you any trouble."
Mavica's voice gradually became lower. She covered her burning cheeks with her hands and said with shame: "I thought I would die from this, but in the end I didn't... This is so embarrassing."
She felt completely socially dead in front of the person she loved...
Shao Yun looked at the ashamed Mavica in front of him and comforted her softly, "Thank you for telling me all this so frankly. You did a great job."
When Mavica heard Shao Yun's words, she looked up in surprise and asked, "So, you're not angry?"
Shao Yun smiled and replied: "Of course I won't be angry, it's not a big deal."
"As I told you before, Noelle confessed her feelings to me in person in Mondstadt, and I wasn't angry."
"As long as it's a simple expression of emotion without any exploitation, it's not a big deal."
Shao Yun paused, took a deep breath, and then began to elaborate on the way he got along with himself.
"Simply put, as long as you can communicate with me honestly, I am usually willing to listen and understand."
Upon hearing this, Mavica couldn't help but chuckle and asked jokingly, "So, you're the type of person who responds to soft words but not hard ones?"
Shao Yun nodded slightly and admitted, "Well, in a sense, what you said does make sense."
But he then added another sentence.
"But don't think you can do whatever you want to me just like that!"
Mavica looked at Shao Yun and saw that he did not feel disgusted with her because of her bold confession letter, and a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
"Ha, I thought the content of my letter would be too direct and explicit for you."
Shao Yun saw Mavica's relieved expression and took the opportunity to playfully remind her, "However, your letter is indeed well written, especially the last sentence."
"If there is an afterlife, I hope I will no longer be the God of Fire, and you will no longer be a passer-by in Nata. Then, I will just be the girl who calls your name."
"Your writing style is really great, and you can express your emotions aptly with words."
"And it's the common language of Teyvat, which is great!"
The blush that had finally faded from Mavica's cheeks now reappeared.
She shyly shouted, "Stop making fun of me... I worked so hard to write such a bold confession!!!"
Shao Yun waved his hand and changed the subject, not wanting to embarrass Mavica any further.
"By the way, since you can't die now, do you want to go to Mondstadt with me and give the Wind God a slap?"
Mavica shook her head and rejected Shao Yun's proposal.
She was just joking with Shao Yun at that time. How could she possibly attack her colleague?
"No, I... was just joking."
Then, Mavica waved her hand and said, "Anyway, I wish you good luck... We'll be waiting for you to return to Nata with your wife and children!"
"I also hope that you can follow your heart and make the choice that is best for you."
What she meant was that Mavica still hoped Shao Yun would spare Fengshen's life.
But Shao Yun pretended not to understand and replied perfunctorily, "Okay, I understand."
Afterwards, Shao Yun turned over and rode on the Apocalypse horse "Famine" that was parked not far away.
Shao Yun patted the horse's neck gently and whispered softly, "Since we've wasted some time, I won't change horses. I'll just ride you to find Mond."
"Wendy, get ready for an unexpected ending!"
As the Apocalypse Horse "Famine" released locusts and mosquitoes, Shao Yun, stepping on this symbol of famine, flew eastward under the cover of night, heading towards Xumi, to Liyue, and finally north to settle accounts with Barbatos!
