Chapter 386 Paimon: I like to eat slime. Mum: ?
Far beyond the calm ocean lies a treacherous land shrouded in thunderstorms, enveloped in swirling clouds and mist.
Manyo and Hanen stood on the observation platform of the sail, sharing their stories and feeling the flow of the wind.
"So, how did Miss Huiyuan meet this black cat? Speaking of which, I know an old friend who also owned a cat, but his was white."
"That's a long story... Mimi is a child who came to Liyue from across the ocean. I found her in the ship's cargo hold. She was emaciated and on the verge of death... When she saw me walking towards her, she fainted from fright. I took her away, prepared food and water, and quietly warmed her up. When she woke up, she was a little surprised, but she quickly realized that I was a good person. After eating, she even acted cute towards me."
Huiyuan stroked Mimi in her arms, and Mimi seemed to enjoy it, rubbing her head against her clothes.
After recounting her life and adventures with Mimi, Huiyuan turned to look at Wanye and asked:
"Manyo, my story is finished. Shouldn't you give me a story in return, about your old friend?"
Upon hearing this, Wanye looked towards the distant rumbling thunder and the dark clouds obscuring the sea, and began to speak meaningfully.
"This extinguished Eye of God is his relic."
That day he asked me: "Have you ever heard of 'The One-Slash Without Thought'?"
[I said: Of course, that strike can only be seen when "Divine Punishment" descends. That strike represents the pinnacle of General Thunder's martial arts, the symbol of his greatest strength.]
But he said, "That strike may not be unattainable. There will always be creatures on earth who dare to face the might of thunder."
Looking at Wan Ye's face, Hui Yuan vaguely sensed the deceased warrior from the story... He exuded confidence, as if he loved fighting to the core.
Later, the "Eye Hunt Edict" arrived unexpectedly. The people's wishes gradually became the building blocks for "eternity."
[While I was wandering aimlessly, I heard that he had challenged General Thunder to a "duel before the emperor."]
The duel before the emperor is solemn yet brutal; the loser will face divine punishment, while the winner can seize a chance to turn the tide.
Perhaps he thought he was the most suitable person to stand up and face that "unthinking blow," which was his lifelong wish.
When I arrived at the castle tower, the duel was already over; all I heard was the sound of his broken sword hitting the ground after "Divine Punishment."
"That must be the light he wanted to witness... What kind of expression will he have on his face at the last moment?"
Upon hearing this, Huiyuan guessed:
"Perhaps it's the joy of fulfilling a wish, or perhaps the regret of failing to win..."
Wan Ye smiled and then nodded.
"Perhaps that's true... By the way, Miss Huiyuan, you said before that you could tell fortunes. Can you predict where this Eye of God will ultimately end up?"
"Of course... Let me calculate... It will flicker where 'divine punishment' descends, shining with the light it should have... Ultimately, it won't stay lit forever, but that will to face the thunder will be passed down."
Hearing what Huiyuan said, Manyo seemed to be deep in thought...
The two looked in the direction of the thunderstorm again without saying a word. They reached a tacit understanding and went down from the observation platform at the same time.
Sea creatures roam the waters of Teyvat, and ships navigating the deep sea are always accompanied by a specialist who assesses any approaching threats. Manyo is the person responsible for this task...
Huiyuan also had a keen sense of wind perception, so he naturally went to survey the area with Manyo, taking the opportunity to get used to his new body's control over his senses.
After leaving the observation platform, Huiyuan returned to her room, while Wanye went to report the sea conditions to Captain Beidou.
More than ten minutes later, the calm sea began to ripple slightly, the hull began to rock slightly, and the previously loose sails billowed up.
However, these commotions had no effect on Huiyuan, Marta, Yingmei, Paimon, or the slime-like Mumu inside the room.
They sat around a small table playing games to pass the time; the boredom of a long voyage is something most people couldn't bear...
Paimon was lying on Mum's bouncy body, playing a game, when suddenly his stomach growled...
She clutched her stomach and complained:
"I'm so hungry... It's been so long since I've had a 'Paimonte' cocktail. How much longer until we get to Inatsume?"
Ying shrugged and replied:
"They haven't even gotten through the thunderstorm yet, and they can't handle it already?"
"Sigh, I'm so tired of eating fish and fruit every day."
"It's good enough to have fruit to eat. When you're sailing at sea, there aren't many delicacies to enjoy."
At this moment, Marta put down her game console, moved closer to Paimon, and asked:
"Paimon, what's this 'Paimon Special' you mentioned? I'm a little curious...Paimon can make drinks?"
"Of course! Let me tell you, Paimon's Specialty is something I, Paimon, do myself—first, find a slime, get its condensed liquid, and then, with a lot of gurgling and bubbling, I make 'Paimon's Special'!"
Hearing Paimon utter such terrifying words in a cute tone, Mum, being a slime, instantly lost her composure.
Her body twitched a few times, and she transformed into human form at the speed of light and escaped, hiding in Huiyuan's Eye of God space.
Paimon cried out "Ouch!" because of Mum's sudden disappearance, and she fell down due to inertia, hitting her chin on the table.
Mumu declared: "I'm terrified of my family! How dare that little Paimon be so cruel to my own kind! Once I attain the Great Dao, I will surely avenge him!"
Haha, looks like she's been reading too many fantasy novels lately.
Seeing this, Huiyuan chuckled softly and remarked:
"You know perfectly well that Mum is a slime, yet you still say such terrifying things in front of her, Paimon. You're really something, just like Nezha."
"Um... I'm sorry, I've always considered Mumu a friend, and I unconsciously removed her from the slime category."
"Save your apology for her; it's useless to tell me."
Paimon, bewildered, lowered its little head and obediently floated onto the cushion, becoming quiet.
Seeing this, Huiyuan changed the subject and started telling the legends about Nezha and Sun Wukong.
Listening to these kinds of thrilling battle stories on a rocking ship is truly a 4D experience!
The occasional thunderclaps, combined with the rocking of the ship, made it feel as if powerful weapons were actually clashing together, creating a very immersive experience.
However, this sense of immersion soon went too far, and the floating of the sea completely rose above the ship itself, making it impossible for everyone to maintain their balance.
There was nothing I could do but silently endure it and pray that the thunderstorm would pass quickly.
After an unknown amount of time, the Death Star finally broke through the thunderstorm off the coast of Inazuma and reached the port...
