Chapter: 60. Are You Okay?!
“Ugh… gurgle… ah… this is the eternal home…”
“Eh?! Xue… Xue Fei?! What happened to you all of a sudden? Although I missed you a lot since I hadn’t seen you for a day… but has it really come to this?!”
In a certain sense, Xiya felt that this was the highlight moment of her life.
At the Northern Border, inside a makeshift commander’s tent.
The closed tent only allowed Xue Fei and her companions to temporarily stay inside.
The silver-haired dumpling made gurgling sounds from her throat as she dove forward, burying her head between two even softer dumplings, wriggling madly, her little face beaming with a happy smile sweeter than the sweetest donut in the world.
Unfortunately, this smile was not visible, as her face and smile were completely buried in the dumplings.
Xiya was startled; she spread her arms to the sides, her first reaction was to stop Xue Fei and ask her what was wrong.
But her second reaction…
She suddenly realized there seemed to be no need to stop her!
Ugh… Although Xue Fei rubbing her face around created a ticklish feeling, accepting Xue Fei’s acts of affection was the duty of an older sister.
Isn’t it nice!
However, Belis’s expression was already distorted.
It was indeed not easy for her to clench her teeth so hard that she didn’t crush her back molars.
Belis angrily clutched her own sadly flat chest, wrinkling her clothes into terrifying creases, her mind filled with resentment over the unfair treatment everyone’s developmental conditions received from the heavens.
Don’t be discouraged.
Even if the inherent conditions are lacking, we can strive for it!
“Ah, ah, ah, Queen Sister…! That’s enough, that’s enough! Come to my side, okay?!”
“Eh… but it feels uncomfortable.”
“Ugh!”
It’s okay if it feels uncomfortable; the key is that the body heat is warm enough!
Belis, like a jealous cat, snatched Xue Fei away from the demonic dumpling, holding her tightly in her arms, her silver hair tilting down to cover Xue Fei’s body, even spreading her black wings to hide her, clearly not letting her go.
“Belis, dear sister, you should respect Xue Fei’s own opinions.”
“Hero, how can you say that! The conditions are unequal! Choices can only be made under fair conditions!”
“Well, you can’t smother Xue Fei to death!”
“I’m not… ah…! Are you okay, Queen Sister!”
“Loosen… loosen your legs…! I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe!”
Not good at all, what a rude fellow.
You can hug, but why are you lifting your legs to squeeze my waist? Are we going to fight, are we going to fight?!
Sitting in the corner of the tent were two outsiders and an outsider dragon.
Both of them had leaped eagerly a few times but broke into smiles after exchanging glances and sat back in their positions.
“Miss Timani, do you also want to join the fight?”
“Not really… do you really think that’s fighting?”
“Definitely not! I mean everyone really likes Miss Shaya; it’s really nice.”
“Harmony is a good thing, but I wanted to say before… whether it’s familial love or friendship, aren’t there times when things might be a bit over the top between them?”
“Hmm? Over the top? What do you mean, Miss Timani? I don’t understand, could you be more specific?”
“Aren’t you clever? Why don’t you understand now? To put it more specifically… it’s just a bit like that.”
Timani wrapped her arms around her knees.
Her scarlet vertical pupils reflected the three people frolicking in the middle of the tent, and her cheeks gradually showed a faint blush similar to her hair color.
“It’s just… don’t you feel sometimes that instead of friends or family, they resemble lovers in a passionate relationship more…? You know, all the romantic drama… and jealousy? Is that normal?”
“Eh? Miss Timani understands so much! Ugh… I don’t really understand love; I’ve only read the collections of love poems written by the bards of Aulus Kingdom, but those books are too difficult to understand. What does it mean that ‘looking at your face made my heart leap’? Why would looking at a face make the heart leap? Doesn’t it just leap by itself? If it doesn’t leap, it would be dead.”
“I don’t understand either! I know this because when I was in the Fire Dragon Clan! Their method of courting is just like theirs! In spring, there are people hugging and cuddling by the lake, even kissing… ah, they blatantly ignore the occasion for something like kissing, it’s just shameless!”
“Kissing? The final procedure?”
“Isn’t it? What kind of expression is that?”
“No, no, no, I just wanted to say… never mind, you’re right, Miss Timani.”
“Right? I think I’m quite knowledgeable.”
Livra smiled apologetically, remaining silent and choosing not to comment.
Well… although the bards’ verses might be obscure and difficult to understand, common sense like what the final procedure actually is, Livra had at least read about it.
In this aspect, although Princess Livra knew nothing, she at least grasped common sense known by everyone.
Miss Timani was quite big, yet her understanding on this subject was still as pure as white jade.
Thus, Livra didn’t have the heart to say much more.
Let’s leave it at that.
However…
“Maybe, Miss Shaya and everyone really do have a rather complicated relationship…”
“What did you say?”
“It’s nothing, Miss Timani; I have a collection of poetry from bards. Would you like to take a look?”
“No, I don’t know the characters of your Aulus Kingdom.”
“Alright, I’ll find a Northern Border edition for you later, there’s a translation version.”
“Hey, Princess Livra, I didn’t expect you to be so nice!”
“Hehe… I’ve always been this kind! It’s just that everyone usually has prejudices and always scolds me!”
“Got it, I’ll scold you a little less in the future.”
“Thanks!”
On Xue Fei’s side, she had just reacted from the “mixed double combat” of Belis and Xiya.
With her messy silver hair, Xue Fei shook off her drowsiness and looked around, confusedly asking.
“Where’s that pervert? Why can’t I see her back after she came back? She can’t have fallen in battle while executing a mission, right?”
“Not likely.” Xiya regretfully released her arm which had been snatching Xue Fei, returning to the edge of the wall to look at the Holy Sword leaning there, “Sialetter provided some of her magic to Princess Livra during the barrier-breaking, so she’s temporarily in a dormant state.”
“Uh, she even used her magic? The golden shell is sturdier than I imagined! How long will she sleep?”
“About a day? Sialetter said before going to sleep that she was supposed to sleep for a week, but thanks to Princess Livra’s quick thinking, she used the Word Spirit Technique to control the Big Fish, saving a lot of effort.”
“Hehe, it was indeed effective to have Livra with us!”
“Right, sometimes brains are really more useful than brute force; I truly understand that this time.”
“Whoa, so in the future, think more, good job.”
“Isn’t that putting too much pressure on people…”
“Quite self-aware.”
“Xue Fei…?”
“I… I won’t say anything, my mistake.”
Xue Fei managed her talkative mouth and quietly turned back, glancing at Livra sitting in the corner, laughing and chatting with Timani, who hadn’t claimed any credit upon returning.
In her heart, she silently expressed her gratitude.
Xue Fei didn’t truly think of Sialetter as a daughter…! It’s just that sometimes she felt… if Sialetter didn’t come bouncing around for a while, it was a bit hard to adjust.
Luckily, she wouldn’t need to sleep too long.
Oh right, speaking of claiming credit, the biggest contributor to breaking the “Heavenly Dome”…
It should be that fish, right?
Upon hearing the full scope of their plan, Xue Fei couldn’t help but feel that in critical moments, the Big Fish played the most significant role!
So, where is the biggest contributor, the Big Fish, right now?
Smelling the aroma of grilled fish, Xue Fei looked towards the makeshift grill built from stone in the center of the tent.
Mhm, the contributor is here, and the Big Fish will be grilled and plated soon!
Shiny and bright.
Wiping away the drool of anticipation from the corners of her mouth, she heard Belis closely behind her, whispering a question in her ear.
Ugh, sister, just speak normally; you don’t need to prove to me that there’s still a bit of fluctuation in your chest.
I know, after all, I saw you a few days ago without any clothes covering you.
You’re much better than when you were a child, and don’t feel sad; Queen Sister here is the saddest of all.
“Queen Sister~ didn’t you just go to capture Murolov? Why did it take so long? Did you go look for a cheating cat afterwards… cough, cough, were you off doing something else?”
“Eh, you don’t trust me? It’s nothing; I just had a fight with Aimeres.”
“Oh~ that’s alright; as long as it wasn’t about finding a cheating… what?!”
“What happened?!”
“Queen Sister, you said… you just went to fight that Human God?! You didn’t get hurt, right? Are you feeling any discomfort?!”
