Chapter 133 The Nth Day Without My Brother, Missing Him
Under the hazy moonlight, the deserted streets looked somewhat eerie.
Even late at night, the Wanmintang Church remains lit, serving as one of the few safe havens on the streets.
Drip, drip, the ground was covered in fine raindrops, and a light rain began to fall from the sky.
The group quickened their pace and entered the Wanmin Hall.
Master Mao was lying on the recliner, his eyes half-closed in rest. Hearing the faint sound of footsteps, he removed the book from his face and sat up.
"Traveler, are you here for a late-night snack?"
Paimon nodded to Master Mao, pointed to the skewers on the shelf, and said excitedly, "Hmm—Master Mao, I want to eat this."
"okay."
Not long after everyone was seated, a little boy arrived at Wanmin Hall carrying an oil-paper umbrella.
"Boss...I'd like an order of...fried rice."
Master Mao looked around but couldn't find the source of the sound. It wasn't until he looked down that he saw Qi Qi peeking half her head out from in front of the stage.
"Oh my...you scared me! It's Qiqi."
Hearing that weak voice, Master Mao thought it was haunted.
"Um... I'm Qiqi."
"One serving of fried noodles, right? Would you like it to go?"
"I need to... bring Mr. Bai some late-night snacks..."
"I see, I understand."
After recovering, Chef Mao looked through the leftover rice he had cooked that day and started frying egg noodles.
This fried rice noodle dish tastes best when made with leftover rice.
No chili peppers were added, clearly indicating that Chef Mao was aware of Atractylodes macrocephala's dietary preferences. In addition, Chef Mao prepared a healthy side dish and included it in the takeout container.
After getting her late-night snack, Qiqi was about to head back when she caught a glimpse of Lingling sitting inside the shop, and...and...I forgot her name...who was she again?
Noticing Qiqi's gaze, Huiyuan glanced away in confusion.
"What's wrong, Qiqi?"
Qiqi, trying to remember who Ying and Paimon were, gradually drifted into a daze. She only snapped out of it after hearing Huiyuan's call.
"It's nothing... I need to bring food for... Mr. Bai."
Qiqi came to her senses, said those words, and then walked away with her oil-paper umbrella.
After swallowing the roasted meat in his mouth, Paimon peeked out from behind Ying, looked at Huiyuan, and asked a question.
"Was that Qiqi just now? Isn't it dangerous for her to be out so late?"
"Qiqi is a zombie. The only one who can threaten her is Master Hu Tao of the Rebirth Hall."
Paimon nodded thoughtfully and then asked another question.
"I see. By the way, I saw a description of a monster in this magazine yesterday that looks a lot like a zombie, with sharp teeth. Do you think Qiqi... might need to drink blood?"
Ying shook her head and said, "That's a vampire, isn't it? Besides, I think I've only ever seen Qiqi drink coconut milk."
"What if her arm suddenly falls off?"
"That's a zombie, right? And even if she falls, Bai Shu should be able to catch her."
After a moment of realization, Paimon asked, "You truly are a traveler, with incredibly broad knowledge! In that case, what special things might zombies do?"
Everyone fell into deep thought.
Recalling Qiqi's late-night workouts, Ying tentatively replied, "Gymnastics?"
"You make a very good point! So, being able to do gymnastics means you're a zombie!"
After finishing their late-night snack and chatting, Huiyuan, along with her flying companion, arrived at her home.
After entering the house, Sun Wu, who had appeared in the first few chapters of the novel but was almost forgotten, was assigned by Huiyuan to do daily cleaning. He handed her a letter.
"Miss, this is a letter from Lord Yuhengxing."
Huiyuan took the letter and opened it to read.
"General Dawn, how have you been lately? The other day, while I was strolling around, I came across a piece of jewelry. I heard from Ningguang that you like small items like pearls and gemstones, so I bought it as a return gift for that previous present. By the way, that gift... it was very exquisite and looked quite impressive in my home. Please give my thanks to your sister."
After reading the letter, Huiyuan's lips curled up slightly.
(Keqing isn't directly saying what the gift is. Could it be because she's a tsundere and doesn't want to admit that she admires the Emperor? Oh right, there's another gift. Let me see what it is...)
Huiyuan took out the item tucked inside the letter and examined it in her hand.
(It's a headdress, inlaid with gems. Although... I only wanted a legitimate reason to exchange gems for Mora with the system, I'll keep this headdress as a keepsake. After all, it was a gift from Keqing, and I can't let her down.)
After placing the headdress into the Eye of God's space, Huiyuan took out paper and pen, wrote a reply, and handed it to Sun Wu to send to Keqing.
After arranging rooms for Ying and Paimon, Huiyuan lay down on her own bed and fell fast asleep.
Paimon is a terrible sleeper, always tossing and turning, so Luminous and Paimon don't sleep in the same bed. Even so, Paimon still sometimes sleepwalks and floats onto Luminous's bed, waking her up.
Despite being exhausted from a long day, Ying still couldn't fall asleep quickly.
After being woken up, I got out of bed, opened the window, sat on the clean floor, and looked up at the sky.
The morning light streamed into the dim room. Watching the clouds drift slowly in the sky, Ying took off her Intiwatt and began to admire them.
In the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, Ying seemed very out of place.
Intiwat is the national flower of Canria.
"Intiwat" also symbolizes "wanderer" and signifies "the tenderness of homeland".
"elder brother..."
Looking at the familiar flowers, Ying gradually drifted into memories.
......
The happy girl, after tasting the delicious porridge in her bowl and saying "It's delicious," then observed the boy's reaction.
The boy smiled broadly, enjoying the compliment, and happily drank the porridge.
They secretly observed each other, their images imprinted on each other's hearts.
......
The two played and splashed water at each other.
"Brother, take this—"
"Hey, they actually launched a sneak attack!"
The older brother, who wanted to retaliate, slipped and fell to the ground.
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
......
The girl looked around and found her brother lying flat on the plain.
Suddenly, the younger sister's smile filled the entire sky, and the boy unconsciously smiled as well.
......
In the cozy little house, the older brother puts an "Intiwat" on his younger sister, while the younger sister tidies up her brother's hair.
The two embarked on another journey.
......
The two, traveling in a foreign land, admired the scenery.
Ying, who preferred admiring her brother to the scenery, couldn't resist teasing him by poking his cheek.
