Miler, who has a system for giving up
Chapter 271 The atmosphere between Xiao Qinglong and Long Jinyuan is strange.
Just as I was at a stalemate with the robbers, a shout suddenly came from afar.
The shouts were like the grandest bells, resounding through the heavens and deafening, as if the entire world trembled.
I looked closely and saw that it was Han Heng and his group who had arrived like heavenly soldiers!
The moment the bandit leader heard the shouts, his face turned ashen, as if all the color had been drained from it, leaving him deathly pale.
It was as if that shout was a death sentence, utterly robbing him of the courage and strength to resist.
His body trembled slightly, and his legs felt as heavy as lead, making it difficult to move.
However, his survival instinct kicked in, and after a brief moment of shock, he quickly turned around and prepared to flee this terrifying place.
The other two robbers seemed to have anticipated their leader's reaction.
Their movements were even faster than the bandit leader's, and could even be described as swift and decisive.
They disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if they had oil on their feet, their speed was simply astonishing!
However, Han Heng was as fast as lightning; his figure appeared in front of the robbers in an instant, like a ghost.
He launched a flying kick, a kick as powerful as Mount Tai crushing an egg, unstoppable!
The robber had no time to react before he was kicked hard in the buttocks.
With a thud, the robber fell to the ground in a disheveled manner, like a dog eating shit.
Han Heng then pounced forward like a hungry tiger, his movements as fast as the wind, dazzling everyone.
Before the robber could react, Han Heng had already pinned him to the ground in a few swift moves.
The robber was pinned down by Han Heng, just like Sun Wukong being pressed down by the Five Elements Mountain, unable to move at all.
Meanwhile, the other two robbers were tied up one by one with the God-Binding Rope by Brother Yu Xi and His Highness the God King, just like eagles catching chicks.
They were like bound rice dumplings, forced to surrender obediently.
Han Heng lifted the restrained robber up like a chick, then casually tossed him aside. The robber flew straight towards Brother Yu Xi, who was walking over, like a kite with a broken string.
Han Heng turned around and briefly explained to me why they had arrived so quickly.
It turns out that all of this was meticulously planned by His Highness the God King and his entourage.
They deliberately spread the word to lure me here, because they were worried that I would be overly anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.
At the same time, they were also afraid that I would act impulsively like a reckless bull and thus encounter danger, so they devised such a flawless plan.
Hearing this, I felt a mix of emotions, like a bottle of mixed flavors had been spilled, with all sorts of tastes surging into my heart.
On the one hand, I was somewhat annoyed by His Highness the God King's actions, feeling that they shouldn't have kept things from me like cunning foxes, leaving me to worry unnecessarily like a headless fly; on the other hand, I was deeply moved by their kind and thoughtful intentions.
A mix of emotions surged within me, making it difficult for me to control myself for a moment.
Without hesitation, I rushed into Han Heng's warm embrace like a swallow returning to its nest.
His embrace was like a tranquil haven, offering me a sense of comfort in this chaotic world.
Just then, Yan Luo and Qin Yimeng, hand in hand, with smiles as bright as spring flowers on their faces, slowly emerged from the dense forest in front of them, like fairies descending to earth.
The sunlight shone on them, as if draping them in a golden veil, making their figures as beautiful and charming as fairies, like a magnificent and colorful painting.
Her radiant smile and light steps were captivating.
Not far behind them were Ye Dongjun and Sikong Feng, two men.
They walked side by side, their steps light and quick like butterflies in flight, their faces beaming with relaxed and joyful smiles.
They would exchange a few words from time to time, seemingly very confident about the plan, as if victory was assured.
However, when my gaze inadvertently swept over Long Jinyuan in the group, an indescribable surprise suddenly welled up in my heart, like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
Her tall figure stood out in the crowd like a crane among chickens, making her presence impossible to ignore.
Moreover, the unique aura she exudes is like the bright moon in the night sky, cool and pure, attracting the attention of those around her like a magnet.
What surprised me even more was that the little green dragon clung tightly to Long Jinyuan like a child, seemingly full of curiosity about her, as if it had discovered a new continent.
He kept glancing at Long Jinyuan's clothes, then staring at her hair, and bombarding her with questions like, "Sister, why are your clothes so beautiful?"
"Sister, why is your hair so long?" etc.
However, Long Jinyuan's reaction to Xiao Qinglong's enthusiasm was completely unexpected; her attitude was as cold as ice.
He would only give a brief answer or two to Xiao Qinglong's questions, and sometimes he would simply ignore him, as if he were invisible.
This made me wonder, does Long Jinyuan not like children?
Or is there some special reason why she treats Xiao Qinglong this way?
This attitude is completely different from when I last saw her; she's like a different person.
The last time I saw her, she was very caring towards the little green dragon and even gave him a precious glass lamp.
However, at this moment, she was so indifferent to the little green dragon, as if he were air, or even completely ignored him, which made me wonder.
Could it be that something unpleasant happened between Little Azure Dragon and Brother Yu Xi when they came to rescue them?
I pondered to myself, my gaze involuntarily shifting between Long Jinyuan and Xiao Qinglong, like a radar.
Long Jinyuan stood there with a cold expression, like an iceberg, seemingly not taking the little green dragon seriously at all.
Little Azure Dragon, on the other hand, seemed somewhat uneasy, glancing at Long Jinyuan from time to time with a hint of confusion and grievance in his eyes, just like a frightened little deer.
Looking at Long Jinyuan's indifferent expression, I felt more and more that something was wrong, and it felt as if countless ants were gnawing at my heart.
But what exactly caused her change of attitude?
Did Xiao Qinglong unintentionally say something wrong that pierced Long Jinyuan's heart like a sharp sword, or did he do something to upset Long Jinyuan?
I kept guessing at various possibilities in my mind, but I was still confused and unable to determine the real reason.
Although I was filled with questions, I did not ask them immediately.
After all, this is just my personal speculation, and perhaps the truth is not so.
Moreover, in such a situation, asking directly might be like lighting a powder keg, making the atmosphere awkward and even causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
So I decided to observe them first and see if I could find any clues in their words and actions, like searching for a glimmer of light in the fog.
Fortunately, these minor incidents did not have a significant impact on the overall team atmosphere.
No one seemed to notice the subtle change between Long Jinyuan and Xiao Qinglong. They remained in high spirits, chatting and laughing as they walked back together, as if nothing had ever happened.
Ye Dongjun and Sikong Feng walked up to Brother Yu Xi and each grabbed one of the robbers. The other robber was then grabbed by Brother Yu Xi.
His Highness the God-King led us to the entrance of a palace. From a distance, the palace resembled a majestic mountain, imposing and resplendent in gold and jade, with every detail radiating luxury and nobility.
Seeing my satisfied expression towards the palace, His Highness the God King slowly said, "Little Le, you and your friends can stay here in this palace for now. I have sent a divine messenger to fetch the children. The palace inside is quite far from the God King's Palace, so if you need my help in any way, it may be inconvenient."
I was about to decline, but then Brother Yu Xi spoke up, saying, "The passage between the realms of immortals and gods is in such a state that it is not safe. Since you cannot return for the time being, you should stay here for now. It is not far from my Rain God Palace, and I also participated in the setup."
I could only nod and reply, "Then I thank Your Highness the Divine King and Brother Yu Xi. I will respectfully accept your offer."
Upon entering the palace, I was awestruck by its grandeur, as if I had stepped into a dreamlike world.
The more I looked at the palace's architectural style, the more I felt it resembled my master's mansion, as if they were carved from the same mold.
Ye Dongjun couldn't help but exclaim, "It feels like I've returned to Master Jiang's residence in the Immortal Realm!"
His words were like a pebble thrown into a lake, catching my attention, and I began to examine the palace more closely.
Sure enough, just as Ye Dongjun said, the layout, decoration, and even the atmosphere in the air of the palace were exactly the same as my master's mansion.
If I didn't know I was in the realm of gods, I probably would have mistaken this place for the realm of immortals.
Just then, the Eastern Divine General, like a shining star, led his divine soldiers and surged forward like a tidal wave.
Their actions were swift and orderly, like a flock of well-trained falcons, as they snatched the three robbers away like chicks, saying they were going to interrogate them about who had ordered them to rob the passage between the realms of immortals and gods.
It then dawned on me that the passage between the realms of immortals and gods was like an impregnable fortress, and under normal circumstances, it would be absolutely impossible for robbers to appear.
After all, immortals who know about this passage are extremely rare, and gods are not targets for ordinary robbers.
No wonder Brother Yu Xi just said that the passage between the immortal and divine realms is fraught with danger and not suitable for travel. It's better to stay in the divine realm and wait until it's safe to go back.
Watching the robbers being led away like stray dogs, the huge weight in our hearts finally lifted.
This sudden storm was like a violent tempest, but it eventually subsided, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The tense atmosphere, like a taut bowstring, suddenly eased, and the palace returned to peace and tranquility, like a calm lake.
In this heartwarming moment, we can fully enjoy each other's company and feel this rare tranquility and harmony.
Friends, like a flock of cheerful birds, sat together, chatting and laughing, sharing their experiences and stories.
As for me, I sat quietly to the side, listening to their laughter and joy, my heart filled with warmth and happiness.
Without the threat of robbers and the tense atmosphere, there was only the laughter and joy among friends.
Like a beautiful symphony, and that sincere emotional exchange, it flows through our hearts like a clear spring.
Taking advantage of Long Jinyuan's moment of elation, I summoned her aside.
Long Jinyuan's beautiful eyes, as clear as autumn water, gazed at me. I couldn't wait to blurt out the question: "Jinyuan, on the way back, I noticed you ignored Xiao Qinglong. Why was that? Did he anger you?"
Long Jinyuan had not expected me to ask such a question, nor had she expected that I would notice her attitude toward Xiao Qinglong just now.
Her face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple.
I became increasingly confused and quickly added, "Don't worry, if he dares to do anything wrong, I will definitely seek justice for you."
"He didn't bully me or make me angry; I just didn't know how to respond to him."
After Long Jinyuan finished speaking, her cheeks became even more flushed, like the sunset on the horizon, and her ears turned as red as ripe cherries.
I recalled the questions Xiao Qinglong had asked Long Jinyuan on the way, and asked in confusion, "What should I respond to? Was it the question he asked you on the way about why your clothes were so beautiful? Or why your hair was so long?"
Long Jinyuan's voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's whisper, I could barely hear it. She murmured softly, "He said he fell in love with me at first sight and wanted me to be his partner."
I was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but chuckle: "This little green dragon is still so young, yet he already knows how to express his feelings. Jin Yuan, what do you think?"
Long Jinyuan's head drooped lower and lower like a ripe ear of rice, her hands twisting the hem of her clothes unconsciously like two braids, and she murmured, "I...I have never thought about these things. To me, he is still a child after all, and I really don't know how to deal with his feelings."
"So you treated him with the same indifference as the cold ice of December on the way here?"
"Hmm. I didn't expect him to be so persistent. Last time, before he had taken human form, I let him hang around me. Now that he has taken human form, this is probably not appropriate."
"Weren't you so infatuated with Brother Yu Xi before? How come you're so carefree now?"
I finally couldn't suppress the surging doubts in my heart and blurted them out like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.
As if she had foreseen my thoughts, Long Jinyuan nodded slightly before slowly speaking: "At first, I mistakenly thought that feeling was liking or love. But after witnessing the love between you and Han Heng, Ye Dongjun and Qin Yimeng, and Sikong Feng and Yan Luo, I suddenly realized that my feelings for Yu Xi were neither liking nor love, but simply admiration."
