Chapter 1009 Shao Yun's Mouth Opened
……
Just when Shao Yun and his family were discussing their plan to head to Xumi City, a cheerful voice with a hint of surprise suddenly came from behind them.
"Hey! Is that Mr. Shao Yun, Ying, and Paimeng over there?"
The three of them turned around at the same time and saw a familiar figure jogging towards them, pushing through the crowd.
It was the Sumeru big cat "Dishia".
She ran closer, put her hands on her hips and took a breath, her face full of disbelief.
"Oh my God, it's really you!"
Ying looked at Dixia who suddenly appeared in front of her, her eyes widened and her jaw almost dropped in shock.
What a coincidence!
She turned to look at Shao Yun, pouted deliberately, and her tone contained a hint of anger and admiration.
"Hubby, you're such a smart talker! You said you'd meet Dixia, and here we are!"
Shao Yun himself was also a little dazed. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, his eyes filled with disbelief as if he had actually gotten it right.
"I was just saying it casually... This luck is incredible."
Having said this, he paused, and suddenly became interested. He clasped his hands together and pretended to mutter to the sky.
"Since it's so effective, I'll make a wish for some rain! The kind that pours down!"
"Please!" Paimon immediately interrupted, rolling his eyes in mid-air, "There's no way Mora will fall from the sky! If it does, it'll hurt someone!"
Dixia was amused by the interaction between the three members of the family and laughed out loud, her hair swaying gently with her laughter.
"Haha, your relationship is still so good..."
In fact, it is normal for Dishia to appear in Port Omos.
The "Blazing Beast Hunters" mercenary group often takes on the task of escorting caravans. Port of Omos, Port of Baida and Xumi City are places they often visit, so it is not uncommon to run into acquaintances here.
She put away her smile, looked at Shao Yun, and greeted him, "Speaking of which, Mr. Shao Yun, when did you leave Nata?"
"I was in Aru Village a few days ago taking care of some business. Logically, if you were traveling overland from Nata to Xumi, you would have to pass through Aru Village. Why didn't I see you passing by?"
Shao Yun recalled that when he left Nata, he rode the apocalypse horse "Famine" and rode directly in the sky under the cover of night on a road paved by locusts and mosquitoes. He indeed did not pass by Aru Village.
He scratched his head and said, "It was about half a month ago. I left in a hurry and didn't say goodbye."
Dishia nodded, and quickly turned her gaze to Ying and Paimon, her expression showing a hint of concern.
"Speaking of which, Ying and Paimeng, I heard Mr. Shao Yun mention that you were kidnapped before. Are you safe? Jade has been talking about it in Aru Village for several days and has been worried about you."
Ying smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Thank you for your concern. We are really fine. We were just a little frightened. We are fine now."
"Huh, that's good." Dixia was obviously relieved and patted his chest.
"Jade looks carefree, but she's actually very thoughtful. Knowing that you're all okay, she'll definitely feel more at ease."
Paimon listened from the side and couldn't help asking, "By the way, how is Jade doing in Aru Village?"
Dixia touched her chin, thought for a moment and said, "I'm living a pretty good life. Every day I learn some skills from the villagers and occasionally help with some chores.
It's just... I keep talking about you guys and saying I want to go see you. After all, Jade has a very good relationship with you guys."
Shao Yun listened beside him and muttered to himself.
It's more than just "extraordinary good". That girl, the biggest lesbian leader in Teyvat, is the one who wants to press Ying into bed and make fun of her...
After expressing her admiration for the close relationship between Jade and Ying and her group, Dixia's gaze fell on Kong and Shenhe who had been standing quietly beside them.
She blinked and asked curiously, "By the way, I haven't asked yet, who are these two?"
Shao Yun immediately stepped forward and introduced her, "This is my uncle, Ying's biological brother, Kong."
Sora nodded slightly towards Dishia and gave her a polite smile.
"Hello, Miss Dixia. I often hear Ying mention you."
Did Ying mention her to Kong? Of course not, it was just a few polite words.
Shao Yun turned around and pointed at Shen He who was holding the child, and introduced: "This is Shen He, she is the godmother of my child."
Shen He held Xi in his arms and nodded gently to Di Xia without saying much.
At this time, the baby in her arms moved his little mouth and made some small "baby talk".
Dixia's attention was first drawn to the identity of "Ying's brother". She scratched her hair, with obvious confusion on her face:
"Ying's brother? Why have I never heard you talk about him?"
At the beginning, Ying and Paimeng always mentioned various partners, but never mentioned that they had a brother.
Ying smiled upon hearing this, with a hint of nostalgia in her tone:
"Come to think of it, the last time we came to Xumi, we were busy dealing with the Great Sage and trying to find a way to save Nashida... We didn't have time to chat about these little things."
"That's right..." Dixia suddenly realized and thought of that time a year and a half ago. Her brows frowned unconsciously, but then quickly relaxed.
"At that time, our minds were full of how to break into the Ordinance Court and how to rescue Lord Grass God from that birdcage. We really didn't have the energy to talk about these things."
She gazed towards the distant rainforest, her tone tinged with emotion, "Ah, time flies. It's already been almost two years."
"That's right!" Paimon swayed in the air and continued,
"Back then, we were still being chased around by those machines in the Red King Ruins. Now it feels like a dream!"
……
Apart from these seemingly insignificant matters, the most crucial matter was deliberately ignored by Dixia, Paimon and others.
Dixia obviously didn't want to talk about the past anymore. She shook her head, brought her thoughts back to the present, and asked, "Let's not talk about this. Are you planning to go directly to Xumi City?"
Shao Yun raised his eyebrows and responded, "Xumeru City... I guess we're just on the way, so why don't we go back to Xumi City together?"
"Hey, you're right!" Dixia's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and said:
"I just finished delivering a batch of goods to a caravan at the port of Ormos, and I was planning to take my brothers back to Xumi City to report!"
When Paimon heard this, his eyes widened and he subconsciously looked up at the sky. There were only a few light white clouds in the blue sky.
She smacked her lips, turned to look at Shao Yun, and said in disbelief, "Shao Yun, you have such a clever mouth!"
"If you say you'll meet Dishia, you'll meet her. If you say it's on the way, it's on the way... maybe the Mora rain you just wished for will really fall!"
Shao Yun looked at Paimeng and saw that he actually believed that Mora would rain down from the sky. He felt helpless... You really believed it? What's going on? Are the roles reversed now?
"Don't talk nonsense." Shao Yun smiled and knocked Paimeng's head. "Things like Mora falling from the sky are just for fun. If it really falls, you'll be the first one to be hit."
"No way!" Paimon retorted, covering his head, but couldn't help but secretly glance at the sky, as if he was really expecting a miracle to happen.
Dixia waved her hand and said cheerfully, "Alright, we're all friends, why be polite? My camel team is fast and stable, and I guarantee it will be more comfortable than riding horses yourself. Miss Shen He, holding the baby, will be able to relax a bit."
Shen He hugged Xi, nodded gently, and whispered: "Thank you."
The little guy in my arms seemed to be attracted by the word "camel beast". He rubbed his head in the swaddling clothes and opened his crystal blue eyes.
Seeing this, Dixia's smile softened. "Look, the babies can't wait to set off. Come on, I'll take you to the team. Let's get going now!"
……
Afterwards, Shao Yun and his family followed Dixia's mercenary group and embarked on a journey to Xumi City.
Shen He held the child in his arms and sat on the broad back of the camel, which shook its ears docilely.
Ying, Paimeng, Kong, and Shao Yun rode the Dutch Warmblood horse "Buel" and the Missouri Fox Trotter "Belloq".
Although Xumi's camel is a little slower than a horse, it is more stable.
Even if I quickened my pace and jogged, my back didn't feel much of a bump, just like sitting in a rocking chair covered with a thick velvet blanket.
Shen He, holding the child, put aside his fatigue at this moment and closed his eyes to rest while walking.
The scenery along the way gradually turned into a rainforest with the fragrance of grass and trees.
……
As the sun gradually set, the sky was dyed a brilliant orange-red.
As dusk began to cover the earth, I saw an extremely huge towering tree standing quietly on the distant horizon, its huge crown almost covering half of the sky.
That is the iconic existence of Xumi City, which proves that the destination is approaching.
……
In front of the archway of Xumi City.
Dixia was the first to jump off the camel's back, patted the camel's thick neck with her backhand, and then stretched her body, with her joints making a series of slight crisp sounds.
Afterwards, she raised her chin towards the crowd and suggested with a smile, "We've been walking all day, and our stomachs are empty."
"It's rare for us to meet, dinner tonight is on my treat!"
When Paimon heard about the meal, he immediately revealed his true form and shouted happily: "Woohoo, eat, eat!"
Seeing her impatient look, Ying couldn't help but reach out and pinch her chubby cheeks, rubbing them gently.
"Paimon, you show your true colors when it comes to food. Can you be a little more reserved? It's like I'm always starving you."
Paimon's speech became slurred as his face was pinched.
"Don't pinch me, don't pinch me... I'm really hungry! I've only eaten a few pieces of bread since this morning, and my stomach is already growling!"
As she spoke, she waved her little arms, trying to pry Ying's hands apart. Her angry and aggrieved look made everyone around her laugh.
After Shao Yun drove the horse away, he came over and said jokingly, "Alright, Ying, let her go. If you keep pinching her, our little Paimeng's face will be squashed by you."
