Her warm breath brushed against his neck, carrying a suppressed tremor.
"It's not what you think," Li Pu explained helplessly.
Tifa, the "victim," was on the verge of tears.
What is that?!
Are you guys asleep or not...?
Alice, ever the gossip queen, smirked and then, as if she'd discovered some earth-shattering secret, playfully tiptoed around Lip and Tifa.
She deliberately brought her face close to the two of them, looking left and right, and finally pretended to rest her chin on her hand:
"Could it be that...could it be that Tifa is...on a date with him?"
She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, her eyes crinkling into two crescent moons as she smiled, her illusory form still swirling lightly around the two of them.
Tifa's pretty face flushed red instantly. "I, I didn't! Alice, don't talk nonsense!"
Alice raised an eyebrow. "Oh, is that so?"
"Hmm? Hmm, hmm~~?" Her cheeks continued to press close to the two of them from time to time.
"Sigh~ I'm so envious~"
"Places like this are better suited for two people."
"Is there anyone who can keep me company?"
"Is there anyone who can play with me?"
Alice's silhouette, dressed in a pink sunflower swimsuit, twirled in the moonlight, coquettishly and emotionlessly "reading" aloud, looking exceptionally playful.
Tifa, who was being "lifted up," twitched slightly, her gaze shifting back and forth between Lip and Alice, her face filled with the pain of having her flesh cut off!
She really regretted it.
He should have proposed before watching the play, but now...
"Okay... lots of people... it'll be lively!" Tifa could only force a smile.
After saying that, she pretended to be generous and pushed towards Li Pu, but her eyes were clearly full of warnings that "if you dare to agree, you're dead."
Li Pu raised an eyebrow helplessly, but before he could speak, Alice giggled, "Just kidding~"
She blinked, then lightly touched the ground with her fingertip, causing a faint glow to emanate from the surroundings: "I can probably still glean some more power from the wishes here..." she said, holding up three fingers.
Tifa asked in confusion, "Three days? Three hours?"
Alice smiled without saying a word, then playfully changed her gesture—to two fingers.
Lip and Tifa: "?"
"So," her voice softened, her ethereal form gently brushing against the little girl's hair, "please take care of this child for me~"
The gesture changed again, leaving only one finger.
Alice's ethereal form gradually became transparent, her smile fading into the night, leaving only a single, echoing sentence drifting on the wind: "This child, has waited too long..."
...Li Pu looked at Tifa, who was kneeling down and gently comforting the little girl, but his thoughts drifted to deeper places.
The '??' factor in the gibberish, the power of will that Alice speaks of.
These two things are probably what made her appear here.
This lively temple fair, brimming with Eastern aesthetics, is indeed permeated with a certain indescribable romantic atmosphere.
Judging from the little girl's words just now, her encounter with Alice was by no means accidental—it may even have happened long before she infiltrated the mine.
Is it because of the special "power of will" that is gathered in this child?
As he pondered this, the little girl who had been sobbing and didn't understand Alice's "dirty joke" suddenly looked up at him, her eyes blurry with tears:
"Brother...Big sister says you are a hero."
She walked over timidly, reached out her small hand and grabbed his sleeve, choking back tears, "Please save us... Soldiers, those bad guys, they're going to... they're going to kill us all..."
Tifa jumped to her feet, her face filled with disbelief: "This is outrageous! Didn't we agree that everyone would go home after receiving their severance pay?!"
A cold glint flashed in Li Pu's eyes!
It should have been expected that the Daqing court would not easily let these insiders leave the mine alive.
……
"...What a surprise, you actually accepted my invitation?" The Guardian Angel strolled through the bustling temple fair, turning to the nonchalant Han Zhuli beside her.
Han Zhuli chuckled and casually fiddled with the colorful ropes on the vendor's stall:
"Anyway, the project is finished, so don't flatter yourself. I just want to see with my own eyes what a wonderful expression you'll have when you find out everything."
"How naive... to think that he could actually save these people."
"You nagging, gossipy old woman, you're just another one being played!"
The voluptuous, curvaceous guardian angel paused slightly, keenly catching the abrupt "again" in her words. A knowing smile subtly curved her lips:
"It seems... someone else tried it too?"
Han Zhuli abruptly turned her face away, her hair whipping in a messy arc under the lamplight:
"whispering sound!"
Chapter 204 Tifa Goes Up (Third update, making up for today's absence, mwah~)
“Sister, you have lived in this place for thousands of years, so you know better than anyone how many Daqing soldiers with queues are here.”
Li Pu's gaze fell on the illusory image of the female tengu as sharp as a knife, his voice devoid of emotion.
The phantom of the female tengu swayed slightly in the glow of the lanterns, like a reflection in water ruffled by the night breeze.
She paused for a moment, then spoke with a complex expression:
“You silly little dog, you’re very interesting. I won’t lie to you. When the temple fair is over… you’ll understand everything.”
“I can’t wait.” Li Pu turned and left.
Watching the boy's departing figure, the female tengu sighed silently.
Tifa held the little girl tightly in her arms and jogged to catch up with Lip. In the moonlight, she looked just like a young wife chasing after her husband with her baby in her arms.
Meanwhile, Black Tifa Bahamut, hovering beside Tifa, couldn't help but let out a wicked smile.
"What are you laughing at!" Tifa glared at Bahamut, annoyed and embarrassed. "Disappear!"
The little devil agreed to the little girl's desperate pleas and went to save her—that's a heroic act! It's not for my other self to laugh at him!
If only he had been there for me when the village was destroyed...
“Heh…” Bahamut floated lightly around to her side, his fingertip lightly touching her flushed cheek. “Want to see what you look like right now?”
Time was running out, and this time things were just full of unexpected events.
Running into that little kid is never going to end well.
He is one.
The "normal" version of herself, who has deviated from her predetermined destiny countless times and stepped into this place for the first time, is Tifa in front of me.
And then there's Alice, who appears out of nowhere...
There are three variables in total.
She also wants to compete for the 'Former Dragon's Remains', and dealing with that little newborn is troublesome enough.
At this point, you definitely can't be a strategist anymore; you have to be a "best friend" and advise them to break up!
So she deliberately leaned close to Tifa's ear and breathed softly into her ear:
"You're not even married to him yet, oh wait, you haven't even started dating yet~ and you're already in such a hurry to defend your husband?"
"I'm addicted to being teased by my younger husband, and I can't live without him?"
With a look of disdain and a hint of mockery, she continued to provoke Tifa:
"I was right about you all along, you really are despicable!"
"Remember back in the construction shed? You'd rather go without earning money than let him suffer, even going into debt to buy him beer... You were like a dog!"
Tifa's face flushed red, but she inwardly sneered in response:
"So what if I'm protecting him?! Don't forget—you are me, and this worthless body of mine is yours too, isn't it?"
As he spoke, he made sure to keep up with the young Li Pu.
Heidi Bahamut raised an eyebrow; this little village girl was quite determined.
Well, there's nothing I can do about it. You forced me to do this.
She deliberately lowered her voice, "Maybe that little Alice is already so intimate with him that she doesn't even know what the world is..."
"Didn't you hear that? And Alice's legs were practically trembling..."
"What roughness, what spasms? You've probably been driven mad by your little husband, that's why you're begging to see him!"
Tifa stumbled, and the little girl in her arms let out a soft hum. She bit her lower lip to steady herself, her eyes glistening with tears, but she stared even more intently at Lip's retreating figure.
"And Emma, can't you see she's a pervert? Why did she adopt your little husband? Don't you realize?" Bahamut continued his devilish whisper, "If this continues, you won't even be able to be a seventh or eighth concubine!"
Tifa was provoked into anger and didn't hold back, directly confronting her:
"You've been reading all those erotic novels for nothing! Your head is full of such lewd thoughts!"
At that moment, she suddenly realized that Bahamut had been reincarnated in this world for thousands of lifetimes, and had long forgotten his original beliefs—
Brave! Loyal! Lots of sisters!
But Bahamut, standing before us, only knows how to gossip in the shadows and has no courage whatsoever!
She has killed countless sisters in endless cycles of reincarnation; she has no loyalty!
If someone can kill even their own sisters, how can they possibly have true friendship?
Such a existence filled her with contempt.
Not to mention that he's still here chatting with her, you little pervert.
Thinking of this, Tifa sneered:
Do you think I'm as despicable and cowardly as you?
"I don't need you at all!"
Hetifa was clearly taken aback.
What happened? How did this fire... end up burning back on me?
What's wrong with this village girl?
Suddenly, Tifa quickened her pace and called out to Lip's retreating figure:
"Stop! You little pervert, I have something to say!"
Li Pu turned around upon hearing the sound, but before he could speak—
"Let's...let's date!"
Tifa blushed as she shouted those words, the night breeze ruffling her loose hair, her wine-red eyes shining brightly in the lamplight.
She got into A!
Black Tifa was so startled that her afterimage swayed three times:
Oh no, it's backfired!
The divide-and-conquer tactic has turned into a provocation!
At this moment, the female tengu who had been following Liptifa and the other two stared in disbelief at Black Tifa, who still couldn't sense her presence, and slowly extended a thumbs up.
Wow! You're the real love strategist!
I, the female tengu, acknowledge you!
Li Pu was so choked by those words that he started coughing, and his ears turned visibly red.
He blinked, puzzled. "Why are you bringing this up? Haven't we been dating for a while already?"
