Chapter 893: Shaking Hands and Saying Thanks
In the Sons of Echo tribe, the Apocalypse horse "War" obeyed Shao Yun's orders, emitting a vague aura of "threat", so as to prevent the abyss monsters hiding in the dark from causing trouble.
Katsina was riding on the apocalypse horse "War", waiting anxiously.
Suddenly her attention was attracted by Shao Yun and Xinoning who were rushing back from afar.
When she saw the blood on Xinoning's face, she couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Sister Xinoning, why is there so much blood on your face! Can I wipe it for you with a handkerchief?"
As she spoke, Katsina quickly took out her handkerchief from her pocket and prepared to wipe the blood off Sinoning's face.
However, Katsina seemed to have forgotten that she was still on the horse. She tried hard to get off the horse, but seemed a little clumsy and laborious.
She was swaying in the saddle, looking as if she might fall off at any moment.
Sinoning looked at Katsina and although she was a little worried, she was more relieved because she saw that Katsina was not injured.
Sinoning smiled and said to Katsina: "I'm fine, it's just... I just can't walk..."
Shao Yun lifted Xinoning onto the horse's back and said with concern: "I hope you can withstand the bumps on the road."
Then, Shao Yun quickly stepped into the stirrup and sat steadily on the saddle.
After everything was ready, Shao Yun drove Xinonen and Katsina, one big and one small, towards the Holy Fire Arena.
Xinoning looked at Shao Yun who was sitting in front of him, and his body leaned forward involuntarily, tightly pressed against Shao Yun's back, holding Shao Yun's waist with both hands, and thanked him: "Thank you for saving me."
"If it were according to the plots in those romance novels that Grandma Xitila likes to read, maybe I would have a good impression of you because of your heroic act of saving the damsel in distress."
When Shao Yun heard what romance novel Xinoning was talking about, he shook his head and said casually, "Do you still believe this kind of clichéd plot?"
Sinoning sighed and said helplessly: "It's old-fashioned, but it makes the most sense."
Then, Sinoning talked about Shao Yun's current appearance. "Although you don't have a beard, but now you have a little beard, you still feel very manly."
Shao Yun listened to Xinoning's somewhat confusing words and asked doubtfully, "That's not something you would say. You can chase after the God of Fire 'Mavica' and scold her. You give me the impression that you are not so fragile."
Xinoning said weakly: "You are still married, don't you understand that when girls are at their most vulnerable, they need the most care and are most likely to have wild thoughts?"
Shao Yun recalled the scene when Ying cried over trivial matters during her pregnancy, and said with some understanding.
"Okay, for your injury's sake...but don't do anything."
Seeing that Shao Yun understood his current situation, Xinoning patted Shao Yun on the shoulder and explained, "I see. Just treat me as a wounded big cat. Thank you."
Then, Xinoning leaned his head forward again, resting it on Shao Yun's shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "But I'm still a little curious about what the woman who can be so obsessed with you looks like..."
"Don't worry, I won't shamelessly approach you even though I know you're married. I'm just curious..."
After listening to Xinoning's impeccable words, Shao Yun sighed helplessly, his shoulders shook slightly, and flicked Xinoning's chin.
"I don't want to talk about my wife. Also, don't push your luck, or I'll suggest to Mavica that we give you some challenging work after the crisis in Nata is over."
"For example, give her wheelbarrow a function that allows it to transform into a mecha."
When Xinoning heard this, he almost choked on his own saliva.
"You damn... I suddenly feel that you are not so handsome anymore... You are so vicious..."
……
The system pops up a prompt.
[Current number of Nata’s casualties: people. ]
[9340 people from the Sons of Echo were killed in the previous conflict, and 1570 people from other regions were killed.] [The intensity of the war is still rising, you need to prepare for the worst...]
Shao Yun looked at the 20,000 people who had died in Nata and said with mixed feelings: "How many people did Mika kill?"
The system popped up another explanation.
[Death toll caused by special enemies transformed from the abyss: 4085 people, landslide, crushing to death: 5255 people]
After seeing this number, Shao Yun muttered in his heart: "He who has transformed into the abyss has actually killed more than 4,000 people... If Xinoning hadn't led him away, the number of deaths would have been even higher..."
At this moment, Yuan Shang's voice suddenly came to Shao Yun's ears, interrupting his thoughts.
"Mr. Shao Yun, something bad has happened!"
Shao Yun heard Yuan Shang's anxious voice and asked the system to relay what he said in his mind to him, saying, "What's the problem?"
The voice on the abyss replied: "According to the information I have, the next goal of the abyss is to use the power of the abyss to cut off the roads of each tribe to the Holy Fire Arena! Divide and surround them, and defeat them one by one!"
"The passages leading to the north and south sides of the Holy Fire Arena are their next main targets, and some people have already been attacked!"
Shao Yun was surprised to hear that another abyss attack had occurred, but he was currently sending Kazina and Xinoning back to the Holy Fire Arena!
"Are there any specific circumstances?" Shao Yunxian asked about the attack.
The voice in the abyss answered truthfully: "In the south, Marani of the Flowing Springs is leading all the tribe members to evacuate northward."
"The team on the north side that was attacked is your previous companion, the fat guy who loves raspberries. He is escorting the civilians to evacuate southwards."
"Based on the number of people that can be saved and the importance of the situation, I recommend that you let me rescue the people evacuated from the south."
"At this time, I can only divert the abyss monsters that are attacking one team... but I may not be able to do it in time for the other team."
When Shao Yun heard that he had to choose between saving Nata's future and saving the Fatui who had previously given him raspberry preserves, he felt a headache.
This kind of situation of having to choose between two options is a nightmare for him, as making decisions is what he is worst at.
"Damn it... I don't have time to think about this choice carefully now. You can decide for yourself." Shao Yun helplessly threw the choice to Yuan Shang.
When Yuan Shang heard this, he was sure that he couldn't make a decision on his own, because this matter was really important! It was related to Nata's future.
"Sometimes, necessary sacrifices are unavoidable, just like what happened to us back then... Never mind, let's not talk about the past. In short, you must make a choice that you won't regret."
When Shao Yun heard Yuan Shang mention what happened back then, he of course knew that Yuan Shang was talking about what happened during the Inazuma Civil War.
Shao Yun took a deep breath and gave himself just one second to think.
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he replied: "If this is the only way, then do what you think you should do."
"Isn't there a saying? Kindness does not command an army, and righteousness does not command wealth. So, go save Malani..."
After listening to Shao Yun's words, Yuan Shang replied: "Okay, I will definitely save Malani, one of the six heroes of Nata!"
……
When Shao Yun rode his horse and sent Katsina and Xinoning to the Holy Fire Arena.
Katsina took a deep breath, encouraged herself secretly, and told herself to be strong.
She adjusted her state and then actively assisted the staff of the Holy Fire Arena to settle those who evacuated from Sons of Echo to the Holy Fire Arena.
As for Xinoning, Shao Yun carried her on his shoulders and sent her to see Mavica.
In the meeting room, when Mavica saw Shao Yun helping the safe and sound Xinoning back, she immediately stepped forward and said with great courtesy:
“Xinoning, you know how worried I am about you, let me see if you are hurt?”
Sinoning looked at Mavica who came forward, although she was still a little weak.
But she still looked at Mavica with an extremely disgusted look, like she was mocking a good friend, and said: "Damn, the moment I saw you, Mavica, why did I feel like I might as well die in 'Sons of Echo'?"
Mavica felt relieved when she saw that Xinoning was full of energy and in the mood to joke with her.
Then, she held Sinoning's cheeks with both hands, playing with them like a cat, and said in a somewhat unfocused tone:
"Oh, it's already this hour and you're still joking. Don't tell me that your genius brain was smashed by the Hillichul's stick?"
Sinoning slapped away Mavica's hand that was kneading her cheek, with disgust written all over her face, and she was muttering something.
"Isn't there a possibility that what I just said is all true?"
However, Mavica did not hear the specific content of Sinoning's mumbling, so she asked curiously: "What were you mumbling just now?"
Sinoning quickly shook his head and took the opportunity to express a thought that had been pent up in his mind.
"It's nothing, actually. I just want to say, look at how badly I'm injured, can you please stop arranging those weird forging commissions for me in the future?"
At this point, Sinoning paused for a moment, then continued, "Especially since you asked me to rebuild your wheelbarrow, please be considerate of a poor patient like me!"
Mavica looked at the weak Sinoning in front of her and agreed readily, "Okay, okay, I know, I will try my best to understand you!"
Then, Mavica turned her head and muttered to herself in a low voice: "Hmph, at worst, I'll regret it when you're fully recovered..."
……
Xinoning is feeling much better now because of drinking the special magic supplement that Shao Yun fed her. Although she is still a little weak, at least she can walk on her own.
Seeing that the mission of rescuing Xinoning was completed, Shao Yun heaved a sigh of relief and planned to turn around and leave to see the crowd on the north side who were attacked by the abyss monsters and were heading to the Holy Fire Arena for refuge.
"Well, I'll be leaving first. I have something else to do."
Mavica saw Shao Yun was about to leave and quickly said, “Wait a moment.”
When Shao Yun saw Mavica calling him, he stopped and turned to look at her.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Mavica extended her right hand to Shao Yun, with a sincere smile on her face, and said enthusiastically: "Let's shake hands."
Shao Yun looked at Mavica's right hand that was stretched out to shake hands with him, and asked in confusion: "Handshake? What do you mean?"
Mavica explained why she wanted to shake hands with Shao Yun.
"I know you're married and don't like hugging the opposite sex, but I really can't express my gratitude in words for what you've done."
"So, you probably won't refuse a common courtesy like a handshake."
Shao Yun looked at Mavica's outstretched right hand and did not refuse this basic social etiquette. He was not an old feudalist.
So Shao Yun also stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Mavica.
In this brief handshake, Shao Yun felt the warmth of Mavica's palm, as well as the sincerity and gratitude she conveyed.
When their hands separated, Shao Yun smiled and said to Mavica: "Okay, I have deeply felt your gratitude to me."
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Mavica nodded, her eyes showing blessings and encouragement to Shao Yun, and she said softly: "Well, come on!"
……
Anyway, now, Sinoning survived.
The war between Nata and the Abyss has also entered a white-hot stage.
