Chapter 204: Past Events (Very Bad)
"Hahaha, not many people dare to talk to me like that!" Hu Zhaigong couldn't help but chuckle, his voice was crisp and pleasant, as beautiful as a string of silver bells.
She did not get angry because of Chen Yue's teasing. Instead, she felt a little curious and admiring about Chen Yue's unique personality.
Hu Zhaigong walked lightly towards Chenyue, her figure graceful and charming, like a fairy descending to earth.
She came to Chen Yue, bent down slightly, and looked carefully at the painting he had just finished. The ink on the paper was lively, the lines were smooth and natural, and a vivid landscape painting appeared before her eyes.
After admiring for a moment, Hu Zhaigong raised his hand and gently patted Chen Yue's shoulder, with appreciation flashing in his eyes.
"You are so arrogant, little guy. But I am a follower of the gods, and my status is extremely noble; and you are just a small immortal. In terms of status alone, I am afraid I am slightly better."
After hearing what Hu Zhaigong said, Chen Yue did not show the slightest fear, but nodded calmly to show his agreement.
"Well, that is undeniable." Then he changed the subject and raised his lips slightly. "But you seem to have forgotten one thing, which is my status in Mondstadt."
Stopping what he was doing, Chen Yue turned to look at Hu Zhaigong with a confident smile on his face. "You might as well guess how valuable my military uniform is."
Hu Zhaigong was attracted by Chen Yue's confident words, and a trace of doubt and curiosity flashed in his eyes. The letter sent by Chen Yue mentioned that he was quite famous in Mondstadt, but did not go into detail about his background and status.
At this moment, she couldn't help but become very interested in Chen Yue's words and wanted to find out what was going on.
The corners of Huzhaigong's mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
"Oh? Hearing you put it like that, I'm a little curious. What's so special about your military uniform that makes you so confident and assured?"
Chen Yue also had a smile on his face. He took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air around him, and then spoke slowly.
"The uniform I wear is no ordinary piece of clothing. It symbolizes the supreme glory and power of Mondstadt. It is the reward I received after going through countless hardships and dangers and making great contributions to Mondstadt. This honor is not easy to come by."
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that you, little guy, are quite capable." A hint of admiration flashed in Huzaigong's eyes.
"However, even though your uniform is so precious, it is ultimately just a matter of power. I am a follower of God, how can the power I possess be compared to yours?"
Chen Yue's smile deepened when he heard this. "Aren't you destroying yourself by saying this? If you really have a strength far greater than mine, then what is your purpose in coming here? Is it just to show off your power?"
His eyes were shining with dazzling white light, shining like stars, and Chen Yue exuded a heart-pounding aura. At this moment, his temperament had changed drastically, becoming mysterious and unpredictable.
He stared closely into Hu Zhaigong's eyes. That deep gaze seemed to be able to penetrate all obstacles and directly peek into the deepest secrets in Hu Zhaigong's heart.
Hu Zhaigong was so shocked that he took a step back involuntarily. The pipe in his hand almost slipped out of his hand, and an indescribable fear surged in his heart.
"You...you can see through my heart?!" Kitsuzai Gong asked with a trembling voice and a look of astonishment on his face.
As a follower of the gods, she had always possessed extraordinary abilities and insights, but she had never met someone like Chen Yue who could easily see through her inner world. This feeling of being completely seen through made her feel extremely uneasy and terrified.
Chen Yue smiled slightly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a strange and charming arc. This smile contained endless profound meanings that were hard to fathom.
"In the early morning, the sun shines through the window into the room, creating patches of light and shadow. You stretch yourself, sit up from the bed, and decide to start the new day by drawing lots. However, when the first bamboo stick is drawn, it says "very bad luck"! You frown and mutter to yourself, "How is this possible?" "You are unwilling to give up and draw another one, but the result is still disappointing. It still says "very bad luck"."
"This situation continued for several days, making you feel increasingly uneasy. Although you were full of doubts and uneasiness, you were stubborn and didn't want to easily believe in the so-called destiny. At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through your mind: maybe you could ask that "husband of so-and-so" for help. But on second thought, you felt a little embarrassed, after all, you had never taken the initiative to talk to him about such things before."
"Am I right? Dear Miss Kitsai-miya."
Hu Zhaigong looked up in astonishment and saw the person in front of him. It was Chen Yue. He had a half-smile on his face, as if everything was under control.
Her expression froze instantly, and she was extremely surprised. She never thought that Chen Yue could guess her thoughts so accurately.
Kitsuzaigong took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner waves, and then asked softly: "How... did you do it?" There was a hint of disbelief in his words.
Chen Yue raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but did not directly respond to Huzaigong's question. He turned around leisurely and looked towards the distant Inazuma Castle.
"Miss Kitsai-guni, everyone has their own secrets, some of which may be difficult for even ourselves to fully understand. However, sometimes we will catch a glimpse of our own shadows in others, as if witnessing another different life path."
"I can see through your state of mind without any supernatural power. It is because your inner fear, worry and confusion are naturally revealed through your words and actions. All I do is to experience and understand it with my heart."
After a light sigh, Chen Yue continued, "I didn't expect that as a fox, your heart could be seen through so easily. It seems that our noble Lord Kitsai Palace needs to practice more in managing micro-expressions!" After he finished speaking, a sly smile appeared on his face.
Faced with this teasing, Huzaigong was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly to show his agreement.
"Well, you are right. I am indeed looking for a way to relieve myself. I have been feeling uneasy for a while now, as if something important is about to happen. But I can't figure out what it is, which makes me very troubled."
