Chapter 120 brings us one step closer to the end (? ????)
After circling around twice without finding a way out, Yan Xi casually found a large rock to sit on and started humming at Yin Yuan on the other side of the screen.
Yin Yuan pinched the bridge of his nose and tentatively suggested, "Why don't you try teleporting?"
Yan Xi glanced at her hand, then at him, seemingly unconvinced. She then made a hand seal and disappeared.
As it turns out, there is hope, but not much.
After failing to escape the forest for the 137th time and getting lost again, Yan Xi plopped down on the grass, looking utterly hopeless and starting to grumble.
We won't go into details about how disgusting that sound was, but that roundabout, whirring "uh-huh" sound was just as devastating to Yin Yuan as the whooshing of a windmill.
—His fist hardened.
Looking at the thing on the screen that was making grunting noises and twisting, Yin Yuan held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth:
"Can you fucking shut up this damn noise?!"
Yan Xi lazily raised her eyelids and glanced at him, her little face fell, and she hummed even louder.
Yinyuan: ...
His lips twitched violently, and he tried to shut her up, but he couldn't and was likely to be counterattacked. Helpless, Yin Yuan decided to disconnect the video to calm down.
Can't you afford to hide if you can't offend him?
"Snapped!"
Fine, I can't avoid it.
Yan Xi and Yin Yuan have been old acquaintances for so long that she can tell what he's about to do just by looking at him raise his butt. So, the moment he raised his hand, she knew he was going to hang up the video call. But would that work?
If she's not feeling well, this guy won't be able to have any peace either!
So, while Yin Yuan was not paying attention and just wanted to get some peace and quiet, Yan Xi, who had been sitting quietly and obediently next to him, suddenly slapped him on the windowsill.
Looking at Yin Yuan's contorted little face, Yan Xi tried hard to suppress the corners of her lips from turning up, almost bursting into laughter.
Indeed, her happiness was built upon Yin Yuan's suffering.
Yan Xi touched her chin, her eyes crinkling with joy. She felt incredibly happy, almost as if she could get lost for another three days—provided that Yin Yuan kept video chatting with her.
Yin Yuan's small body was pinned down by a hand, unable to move, while he watched the fox trying to suppress his laughter roll his eyes wildly.
Damn it, she's so cheap. I really want to slap her.
Yan Xi: Thank you for the compliment, I learned it from you~
Yinyuan: ...Six.
Just as the two were engaged in a fierce battle of wits, and Yin Yuan was so angry that he was about to break free from the limitations of his stupidity and spatial constraints, wanting to crawl through and kill Yan Xi, someone descended like a god, an angel came down from heaven, and Jesus came to the rescue of the devastated Princess Yin Yuan...
Ahem, it’s a conspiracy.
"Yan Xi? Is that you?"
A cool, indifferent male voice, tinged with a hint of caution, came from above Yan Xi's head.
Yan Xi looked up and saw the person who had come in, and immediately stood up.
For some reason, Yin Yuan's eye twitched, as if he had heard some background music playing.
I've finally waited for you~ I'm so glad I didn't give up~
The newcomer was dressed in a black trench coat, carrying a cane. His long, silver, slanted hair was quite striking, and his handsome silver-gray eyes were slightly narrowed, adding to his aloofness and imposing presence.
Anyone seeing him for the first time would surely exclaim, "What a handsome vampire duke!"
But Yan Xi's excitement lasted only a moment, and then her heart skipped a beat.
Damn, this idiot isn't wearing his glasses.
Under the puzzled and speechless gaze of Yin Yuan and Yan Xi, Li Hui lowered his head, his deep eyes showing a hint of tenderness.
He looked at Yan Xi…
...a tree trunk nearby asked, "What are you doing here?"
Yan Xi's eye twitched; she felt a strong urge to kick him to death.
That's right. Li Hui is a Saint-level fairy in the Fairy Realm who can manipulate black holes, possessing almost unbeatable abilities, and one of the leaders of the Lingxi Pavilion.
Damn it, he's super nearsighted and can't distinguish between humans and animals within a meter!
He damn well doesn't even want to wear glasses!
"Ahem!" Yan Xi coughed loudly, rolled her eyes at Li Hui's handsome face as he turned around, and said, "I'm here! Big brother, could you please wear your glasses next time you go out?"
"Ahem," Li Hui coughed, somewhat embarrassed, "I'll be more careful next time."
To prevent this nearsighted handsome guy from mistaking something strange for himself, Yan Xi reached out and grabbed Li Hui's wrist, then started playing with his hand.
Wow, even with big nearsightedness, her hands are quite pretty.
Feeling the warmth of his hand, a faint blush crept onto Li Hui's pale, lifeless face. He produced a pair of silver-rimmed glasses from somewhere, and upon putting them on, he instantly transformed from a vampire count into a refined scoundrel.
Seeing the fox so close at hand, the refined scoundrel blushed even more.
He stammered, "You...you came to see me?"
"Hmm," Yan Xi replied absentmindedly without even looking up.
Li Hui paused for a moment, looked up at Yan Xi's back, then turned around and looked back at him with a large gesture. He then looked towards the east of the forest and finally pursed his lips, lost in thought.
Li Hui said nothing during these actions, yet it seemed as if he said everything.
Having understood it, Yin Yuan glanced at the map and also fell into deep thought.
Only the directionally challenged fox, unaware of the situation, tilted his head and pulled the two out of their reverie.
"Huh? How do you know?"
For a moment, Li Hui was confused before realizing what she was asking. "I consulted the oracle, and the divination showed that you would come to find me, but I waited for a long time and you didn't come... I was afraid you would get lost, so I came out to look for you."
As he spoke, Li Hui's lips twitched involuntarily. Heaven knows how many circles he had taken while divining the future before finally finding her.
Yan Jue and the others said she was terrible with directions, but that was a shallow assessment. She's clearly a super terrible with directions!
(Note: Since I don't have a computer to insert images, I'll post the simple map I drew on the spot in the comments section.)
Yan Xi scratched her head. "I almost forgot, you're a charlatan just like Shi Xi."
"I am not a charlatan."
"Okay, Mr. Charlatan."
Li Hui: ...
Well, we can't expect too much from a silly fox. At least it used honorifics, right?
Li Hui shook his head helplessly, grabbed Yan Xi's wrist with his backhand, and with a wave of his left hand, a black hole appeared in front of him.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go back and discuss this further."
As he spoke, he took Yan Xi's hand and led her into the black hole.
……
Li Hui's home is an old castle, its exterior shrouded in darkness, clearly not a pleasant place.
The interior decoration did not disappoint Li Hui's gloomy and unpleasant aura. The dark yet elegant and exquisite style, the flickering candlelight, and the strangely styled oil paintings hanging on the walls made it seem like a medieval vampire castle.
"Tsk," Yan Xi glanced around casually, then was pulled to sit down on the sofa by Li Hui. "Can't you make your house a little brighter? No wonder your nearsightedness is getting worse."
Li Hui was taken aback when he saw Yan Xi snap her fingers, and then the entire castle lit up.
Antique-style wall lamps appeared on the walls, while a huge, equally antique-style crystal chandelier swayed overhead. Soft, pale yellow light filled the hall, adding an indescribable gentleness to the ancient castle.
Even Li Hui's deep-set eyes and brows seemed to have gained a touch of humanity.
He looked into someone's bright, smiling eyes and smiled back.
It's clearer now, which is great.
