Chapter 70 The insults are so vulgar.
Chapter 70 The insults are so vulgar.
After realizing the deeper meaning conveyed by Marianne's expression, Kelly was also taken aback. Seeing Kelly suddenly stop, everyone curiously pressed for answers:
"Kailer, why did you stop talking? What happened to those vanished kingdoms?" Kailer suddenly seemed to wake from a dream, pondering Marian's expression just now.
Then he slowly said, "Ah, I say, among those... long-fallen kingdoms, there should be a few that can rival the Kingdom of Narcissus Cross."
"But I just realized that those kingdoms and the Kingdom of Narcissus Cross might not even be from the same era. I was wrong to think that way. Just pretend I never said that."
Upon hearing Kailer's words, everyone sighed in unison. They had been eagerly anticipating some earth-shattering news from Kailer, but it turned out to be just a false alarm.
Just then, a melodious bell rang out from the fairyland. Upon hearing the bell, Marianne once again put on her warm, spring-like smile.
She announced that everyone could begin enjoying the pastries. Navia took a small sip of the tea and exclaimed with delight, "Wow, this is so delicious! Sister Marian, could you tell me what kind of tea this is?"
Finally, Navia learned from Marian that it was a drink called fruit tea. Upon hearing the word "fruit tea," Navia couldn't help but think of a beverage in Fontaine and wondered if the two were similar.
While enjoying tea and snacks, everyone was still having a lively discussion about where to find Princess Lilith, and if she wasn't here, where could she be?
After enjoying the refreshments, Marianne smiled and asked everyone, "What do you all think of the desserts? Aren't they delicious?" Everyone nodded in agreement.
Marian continued, "Now that everyone has finished enjoying the tea and refreshments, I'll take you on a tour. There are many beautiful sights here that you may not have seen yet."
Everyone then unanimously decided to follow Marian on a stroll through this fairyland-like place, hoping it would soothe Marian's mood.
But just as everyone was about to get up, Qiuhe spoke up in a deep voice like a muffled thunderclap: "We've already wasted too much time here!"
"Do you want to keep wasting time?" Upon hearing this cold and unfriendly voice, everyone paused, their hearts skipped a beat, and they swallowed hard.
Then, everyone looked at Qiuhe and found that Qiuhe had returned to his previous cold and ruthless face, and his eyes had become sharp as arrows once again.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone had the same thought: what exactly happened? How could Qiuhe, who was perfectly fine just moments ago, suddenly turn into this?
Seeing this, Claire slowly approached Qiuhe like a snail. "Lei, are you alright?" A bead of sweat dripped from Claire's face, like a flower wet with rain, and she gave a bitter smile.
"We should still have plenty of time. We can just wander around casually; it shouldn't be a problem." Just as they were getting closer to Qiuhe...
Qiuhe's eyes flashed like lightning as he turned to Claire. Seeing Qiuhe's gaze, Claire, like a startled rabbit, stopped in her tracks. Kailer's brain, too, was racing like a machine.
At first, Qiuhe was fine, but suddenly he became like this without any warning. But Kailu knew...
Something must have happened along the way. He kept thinking back to what had just happened, but then he heard Qiuhe speak again: "There is no Narcissus Cross Kingdom in Teyvat!"
"There are only seven nations in Teyvat right now, so where did this Narcissus Cross Kingdom come from? And what's this talk about how many nations were reduced to ashes by dragons?"
"Where would Teyvat get so many countries? Not to mention, Teyvat only has one dragon, the dragon Durin, but he was already wiped out by the Anemo Archon when he invaded Mondstadt!"
"Narcissus, the dragon, is nothing but a fictional character. Heroes, minions, holy swords, dragons, princesses—it's all just an absurd fairy tale!"
Everyone was shocked by Qiuhe's words, but Anzai simply couldn't accept them.
"No, that's not right. I am Ann, and my purpose is to rescue Princess Lilith, who was taken away by the demonic dragon. If I cannot rescue Princess Lilith, then what was the purpose of my birth?"
Qiuhe, still expressionless, said, "You are merely a character in a story. The only reason you know Princess Lilith is because this character existed in your memory."
"And the buildings here already existed; they were simply used as performance stages using materials found locally." A wealth of information instantly flooded everyone's minds.
Only then did everyone realize that the hero slaying the dragon and rescuing the princess was exactly what happened in a fairy tale. Qiuhe then looked at Kailuo beside him.
“You know everything, yet you don’t tell them, wasting so much time here. My patience is limited, and all this wasted time…”
As he said this, veins bulged on Qiuhe's face, and his eyes flashed fiercely as he glared at Kaile, tilting his head as he continued, "What will you use to compensate me?"
Upon hearing this, a sudden thought flashed through Kailer's mind: "That's right, before entering the tower, in the resting place, when we were solving puzzles and mechanisms..."
"Everyone has failed several times, and there have been several times when we almost fell off the platform. Even Lei had a few mistakes back then."
"But it seems that almost every time he makes a mistake, he gets very frustrated," then Kailer recalled what Qiuhe had said earlier.
"Wasting time? Does he really fall into this state if we waste time in front of him while carrying out important tasks?"
When Kailer thought about this, everything seemed to connect. "It seems we should now be able to determine why Leyi became like this."
"But how do we turn it back now? The captain scolded him severely before, and he turned back to his original form, but that's absurd. Did the captain really wake him up by scolding him?"
But at that moment, a detail suddenly popped into Kailer's mind: "After being scolded by the captain, Leyi seemed to feel very guilty and remorseful for hurting Lily with her sharp words."
"Does Leyi regain her senses when she feels extreme guilt and remorse for hurting her friend?"
Suddenly, a thought struck Kailer: "Lei, don't you feel like your gaze is a sharp blade piercing Clementine's heart?"
"Have you forgotten how you hurt Clementine before? She loved you so much, cared about you so much, and yet you broke her heart time and time again."
"You were begging for forgiveness before, but now you've forgotten how humble you were back then and are using those sharp, dagger-like eyes to hurt her again?"
At this point, Keller swallowed hard, knowing he might say something extremely rude. The thought of himself, a civilized person, uttering such offensive language...
It felt like a million ants were gnawing at his heart, unbearable. But considering his current situation, he couldn't hesitate any longer. He gritted his teeth and said, his anger barely contained:
"You deceived and toyed with a little girl's feelings. You are a beast worse than a pig or a dog, the scum of the earth, and a disgrace to society!"
"What difference is there between you and those despicable, shameless scoundrels who have no conscience and are morally corrupt! Are you perhaps uneducated from birth?"
These words exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap, causing them to gasp in disbelief. At their age, they had never heard such filthy language.
Tian Yaochen was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. In all these years, he had never heard Kaile utter such filthy words. He himself had only been disappointed in Qiu He and had cursed him a few times.
Even Navia fainted upon hearing such offensive words. After all, under Carles's loving care, the innocent Navia had never encountered such filthy language.
Whether Qiuhe felt extremely guilty is unknown, but Kailuo's heart was already deeply condemned and traumatized.
Qiuhe's eyes also slowly changed, his expression becoming somewhat distorted, as if he were engaged in a fierce struggle with his own heart, wresting control of his body.
Marian, standing to the side, spoke up: "Enough! I thought you two were good friends, but you disregarded your friend's feelings and ruthlessly shattered your friend's beautiful illusions."
"Before you speak, can't you put yourself in An's shoes and think about how she feels?"
