HCB Chapter 399 Night Talk
Chapter 399 Night Talk
Although Yuan Zhuoyue received the worried look and words from Hu Tao, he immediately said some comforting words to make her feel more at ease.
But he couldn't help but complain silently in his heart. Instead of caring about Morax, whose body was so strong that it could collide with rocks, he might as well care about her pitiful, weak and helpless mortal body.
After all, Morax's body was not made of flesh and blood, and no matter how she built it, it would not leave any serious damage that was difficult to heal.
But her human body was too fragile. If one wasn't careful, she might be killed on the spot.
Of course, even though he complained, Yuan Zhuoyue would not embarrass himself by speaking out about this matter.
After all, what Kurumi really cares about is Morax, the owner of the body she is currently using.
It wasn't her, the outsider who occupied someone else's body and whose origins were unknown.
Perhaps after she tells all this, the little girl, who has a soft heart, will comfort her out of kindness, but what's the use?
That would only make Walnut, who had just felt relieved, become nervous again.
A mysterious 'person' whose origin and identity are unknown is more credible and reassuring than a weak mortal.
The girl was already very uneasy about the current situation, so there was no need for her to add more pressure to Hu Tao.
Yuan Zhuoyue had the bright moonlight above her head, and she chatted with Hu Tao, who climbed over the wall to join her in the middle of the night.
It can be considered that I have successfully coaxed this uneasy little girl.
And Hu Tao also has her responsibilities. The purpose of her coming here tonight is just to get some verification from Yuan Zhuoyue.
Naturally, he would not stay here for too long. In her opinion, after the guest official, who had always been in an unknown state, finally had a place to stay, she felt a little relieved.
He was barely relieved. After saying goodbye to Yuan Zhuoyue, he followed the same path he came from and climbed over the wall again.
Yuan Zhuoyue watched the little girl's back until she disappeared over the wall and completely left his sight.
He glanced sideways in another direction. Although there was no sign of anyone over there at this moment, Yuan Zhuoyue could sense it clearly.
Not long after Hu Tao arrived, when the two were chatting happily, two very familiar auras suddenly appeared on the other side of the wall.
Although using aura to identify the identity of a visitor may sound a bit mysterious at first, Yuan Zhuoyue, who has personally experienced this method, can also appreciate the accuracy and efficiency of this new and unique way of identifying the identities of others.
Yuan Zhuoyue remembered the owners of these two auras. One of them was the Ruota Dragon King who had hurriedly said goodbye to her with an evasive attitude not long ago.
As for the other one, she met him briefly in this courtyard on the first day she arrived in Teyvat.
After that, during the disaster regarding "filth", I had a brief contact with her again, but it was just a few encounters, and in the end, our interaction was not that deep.
No one knew what had happened that would cause the Dragon King Ruota, who had just left her not long ago, to come back with Guizhong.
And they all squatted in unison, directly on the wall.
If it weren't for the fact that the two of them covered their tracks and did not show up on their own initiative, we could guess that they did not want to appear in front of Walnut at this moment.
Yuan Zhuoyue really wanted to ask Ruotu Dragon King directly: "What on earth do you want to do by squatting on the wall with Guizhong in the middle of the night?"
Of course, now that he is wearing the body of Morax and has too much of an idol burden, Yuan Zhuoyue will naturally not ask so directly.
After Hu Tao left, she turned her attention to the current whereabouts of the two immortals.
Then he said in a loud voice: "...Since I have lived here as a guest, few people have visited this courtyard. Today, it is a coincidence that two waves of visitors have come one after another."
Gui Zhong and the Dragon King Ruota knew that Yuan Zhuoyue was a very capable person and was not an ordinary mortal as he claimed.
Naturally, they knew that they did not deliberately restrain their aura or hide their methods, so they would definitely not be able to hide them from the other party's eyes and ears.
The reason why he hadn't shown up before was because he didn't want to disturb the conversation between Yuan Zhuoyue and Hu Tao.
Gui Zhong also wanted to know how Yuan Zhuoyue would respond to Hu Tao's questions and what answers he would give. Would they contain some information he wanted?
Moreover, Yuan Zhuoyue could sense their presence and naturally knew of their arrival, so their current actions could not be completely regarded as eavesdropping.
Now that the previous visitor had left, Yuan Zhuoyue invited him again, and Gui Zhong showed up without any hesitation and very frankly.
He jumped down lightly from the high wall, then slowly walked to Yuan Zhuoyue and sat down in the empty seat next to the stone table.
The same was true for the Dragon King Ruota, but compared to Guizhong, his expression was a little strange, as if he was a little conflicted.
After the two figures sat down, Yuan Zhuoyue poured a cup of clear tea for each of them: "…This is some fragrant tea that Mi Nu and I bought when we went to Chenyu Valley not long ago. This time I didn't have a sudden idea to add some medicinal plants to it. How does it taste?"
Gui Zhong picked up the teacup, sniffed the delicate fragrance, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "This taste seems to be this year's new tea?"
The Dragon King Ruotu held the teacup in his hand and shook it slightly for a few times. He looked at the golden and translucent tea, which seemed to be emitting a layer of amber-like luster. In the end, he did not put it into his mouth.
Instead, he raised his eyes and looked at the guy who was sitting right opposite him, pretending to be his friend and having a warm smile on his face.
When he spoke, his voice was inevitably mixed with some sarcasm: "...When I and the other immortals asked you before, you didn't know this or that. Now it seems that you know a lot, don't you? Why? Don't you want to tell us more?"
Yuan Zhuoyue had long been accustomed to the attitude of the Dragon King Ruo Tuo who looked down on her. She still replied in a friendly and gentle tone, "I really know nothing about the questions you and the other immortals asked before, so I naturally cannot answer them. And now, Hall Master Hu asked about the situation related to Zhongli, the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, and I only answered what I know."
