To the eternal you

What kind of words should I use to appease the girl in front of me?

Qi fell into confusion, regardless of whether she agreed or not, facing such a thing, is it really okay for her to make a promise that is destined to be impossible to fulfill.

But letting her just look at elder sister Ying without saying a word will only hurt her more.

Unlike Gan Yu, of course she could see Ying's emotion, which was very close to Ying's mother's emotion.

Therefore, it must be answered in the most solemn way.

She gently hugged Ying's head and let her listen carefully.

"Sister Ying, can you hear me?"

"Listen... what can you hear?"

The traveler didn't seem to have recovered, and he was more concerned about the answer to the question just now.

"Heartbeat."

Plop, plop.

An extremely healthy heartbeat, and at the same time, I can vaguely feel the surge brought by the accelerated beating.

"I don't know how to answer Sister Ying's answer, so I will use my heartbeat instead."

"The heart doesn't lie."

Ying's legs that had been tightened before relaxed a little, her expression changed from the original lonely one, and she listened carefully to the girl's faster and faster voice.

"Hey, sister Ying. Do you know how a dandelion seed blown by the wind will determine its own destination?"

The girl's extremely gentle voice reached her ears, but she didn't know the answer to that question, so Ying raised her face and asked with some uncertain doubts: "Is it the wind?"

"No, think about it again, the answer to this question is very important, and it can solve all the doubts of sister Ying, and I promise it!"

"When the Liyuegang incident is over, even if Sister Ying doesn't know, I will tell you."

Qi felt a sudden increase in strength on her wrist, and Ying, who was originally relaxed, became serious again. She looked down at herself and spoke out.

"Can't you tell me now?"

"No."

"Then have you told Gan Yu?"

"No, she doesn't know either."

So in looking at each other like this, Ying didn't find any trace of compromise, or the girl had been looking at her with such gentle and loving eyes.

Almost like a mother.

"...I see, let's keep this question until the end."

The moment she finished speaking, the window was pushed open, and the panting Paimon broke in, then his eyes widened, and he couldn't help exclaiming.

"Huh?! The traveler finally couldn't hold back the evil desire in his heart, did he attack Qibao...!"

"No! You listen to my explanation!"

Ying hurriedly got up from the girl, and then grabbed Paimeng who was about to fly down the window. If this guy really let this guy escape, with the speed at which she spread rumors, she might have to be sent to the Black Rock Factory for labor reform the next day. .

"Woooooo-!"

Paimon struggled strenuously, his mouth and nose being covered, and his panic was no less than knowing that the night's supper was gone.

Qi also blushed, straightened the messy clothes a little, and coughed lightly.

"Sister Paimeng, it was actually Sister Ying who thought I was kidnapped and found me so nervous when she found me."

"That's right! In that case, the next time the criminal sees her, he won't be able to eat her well!"

Ying also let go of her hand, allowing Paimeng to be freed. Seeing her breathing heavily and sighing that she was saved, Qi couldn't help but walk forward with concern.

"Speaking of which, why did Sister Paimeng and Sister Ying separate? Don't you usually do everything together?"

"Hey hey~ Said me and the traveler really make Paimon shy, after all who made us best friends~"

Paimon folded his hands, a little shy.

"It's just that little Paimon bound me arbitrarily...Hmph."

The arrogant blond traveler turned his face away, but secretly opened a slit to look at Paimon.

"Wow?! How can a traveler say that, even Paimon regards you as his best partner! Shouldn't you say the same in this situation!"

Paimon, the puffer fish, appeared.

"Yes, Paimon is my best partner."

It was probably because of the traveler's praise-like tone that made Pimeng even more excited. She waved her pink fist in embarrassment and wanted to teach Ying a lesson, but after considering the difference in size and combat experience between the two, she snorted and floated to Qi around.

"Hmph! The Traveler is no longer Paimon's best friend, but now Qibao is!"

"Ahaha..." The little girl could only smile in agreement.

However, Ying, who was in an extreme state, did not intend to agree, but curled her mouth.

"It's just emergency food."

"Wow! I'm so pissed off, Paimon has decided not to tell you important information!"

Paimon stomped his feet angrily, put his hands on his chest, and stopped looking at her.

"What's the matter?"

Qi asked curiously, and Ying, who was pretending not to care, quietly raised her ears.

"That's right, True Monarch Liuyun Borrowing Wind and the others have dispatched! It seems that they are waiting for the Liyue Seven Stars to meet at Yujing Terrace at this moment, and they are asking for an explanation."

Paimon also whispered to the girl stingily.

But after finishing speaking, he exclaimed again, pointing to Qi's ear and looking at her in disbelief.

"You still say that you are not a criminal! Attacking a young girl and doing such a thing, I think the traveler really thinks that the Qianyan Army's prison food is delicious?!"

"Stop talking nonsense, I didn't do it." It's okay not to mention this, but Ying snorted coldly when it was mentioned.

"That's a good job for Miss Yeyang, who you think is beautiful and kind-hearted."

"Ah?! Ms. Gan Yu actually did it... I actually wrongly blamed the traveler, woo——sorry!"

Paimon can be regarded as having discovered that none of the group of people surrounding Qibao is a fuel-efficient lamp.

"It's really scary. Is this the so-called knowing the law and breaking the law?"

She also exhaled pretending to be vicissitudes of life, with an unpredictable look.

"The number one suspect who knows the law and broke the law you mentioned is now Liyue's well-known businessman."

"Sister Ying!" Qi hurriedly shouted to stop, although he knew that the traveler was not very happy, and he was probably talking nonsense just to vent his emotions, but he couldn't slander her indiscriminately.

"Well...I know, it's my fault."

She shrugged her shoulders, apologizing but not fully apologizing.

"In short, let's deal with the issues among the immortals first."

"When I came, Mr. Zhongli asked me to give a message to the traveler."

"Have you met Mr. Zhongli?"

"Yes, he was the one who told me that you have returned to the inn, otherwise I would still be looking for you everywhere!"

Paimon scratched her head, although she didn't know how Mr. Zhongli knew.

"Well, he probably saw it when he came back, so just say that he asked you to help relay something."

"He said let's go directly to the golden house. He can help delay the issue of the immortals. At least the immortals will not make trouble during the ceremony. It's just right for us to go to the golden house to see the fairy ancestor Fashui at this time, otherwise we will wait until the ceremony is over. , Immortal Ancestor Fashui is estimated to be transferred as well."

Ying's expression was a little subtle.

"Then didn't you just say that the immortals are waiting for Seven Stars to give an explanation at Yujing Terrace?"

"Yeah, after the event is over, I happened to ask them directly, and I didn't do anything, so it's not a problem... probably?"

Paimon obviously also thought of the key point.

But now is not the time to waste time here, Qi suggested.

"The immortals can be entrusted to me, and the matter of the golden house will continue to be entrusted to Sister Ying and Sister Paimeng."

"Ah... are we going to separate again? I don't really want to go."

Ying said awkwardly.

"The traveler has become so strange since he went to Dihua Prefecture."

Paimon said in a low voice, but it didn't escape the traveler's ears, and he was quickly caught rubbing his face.

"Sister Ying, when it comes to important things now, your goal will come true soon, and I have things to do myself, so I can't continue to procrastinate."

Qi's unexpected seriousness this time, and her earnest little face made it hard to refuse.

"...I see, see you later then."

Ying had no choice but to respond in frustration.

"Well, definitely will."

Qi smiled softly, and stretched out her tender little palm.

"Let's make an appointment! We can definitely get through this difficulty together."

"Oh~ I understand, I understand, the promise before the devil king is about to be faced in the adventure story! Paimon is also coming!"

Hands smaller than the girl's were placed on it, and Ying also stretched out her hand with a doting smile, wrapping their little hands around them.

"To Come."
