Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Farewell Xianzhou Yaoqing
All the nimbocavaliers pointed their weapons at me...
-Nadie, this is....
Feixiao looked at me in shock, shocked by the presence of the Way of Abundance welling up from every part of my being.
Quickly, the wound in my chest closed.
-Your Moon Madness was healed, how do you feel?
-Huh?
Surprised by my words, Feixiao checked and it was exactly as I said.
-I don't feel discomfort anymore.
-That's good.
With nothing more to hide, I summoned my Divine Bow.
-Don't move!
But this simple act terrified the surrounding nimbocavaliers.
-First the Hunt, then the Exultation! To make matters worse, now you also have Abundance! What else do you have, you monster! What do you seek from us?!
Everyone is terrified of my existence....
The cry of that one nimbocavalier represented them all.
-Nimbocavaliers, lower your weapons!
Feixiao's shout was overwhelming, he did not allow any refusal.
-But general, he...!
-I said, lower your weapons! Didn't you see how Nadie contributed to protect Xianzhou's Yaoqing?! Is this how Xianzhou treats our benefactors?!
-No ma'am...
Finally unhindered, I loaded an arrow and shot in the direction of the sky... a portal connecting to the stars opened and an infinite amount of arrows rained down, destroying all the astro-skiffs without exception and no Borisin survived. However, this movement released the contained Crimson Spring and it poured out in all directions.
I immediately used Drop of Life again but on a large scale, a scale so large that it neutralized all possible effects of the Crimson Spring on the Reposians. This being the second time that Feixiao is bathed by my Drop of Life, for today I can no longer use this ability if I want to prevent her from falling on Mara.
Thus, the large-scale terrorist attack was successfully neutralized with hardly any casualties on our side.
The only thing left to deal with is....
-N-Nadie, thank you for saving the Yaoqing and also curing my "disease". No thanks from me will be enough to repay this debt. However, I need you to answer one question.
I no longer have the strength... Using my three skills on a large scale used up all my stamina completely. Even if an inexperienced nimbocavalier attacked, I would lose instantly.
-N-Nadie, are you an enemy of the Xianzhou?
-No, I am neither an ally nor an enemy of the Xianzhou. I am only your friend.
-I see...
-...
-Well, I believe you!
Just like that, she opened up to me.
-*Sigh*. I'm really exhausted. Nadie, let's go back, I'm starving. I want to take a shower and then it's a nap. The paperwork I'll leave it for tomorrow~
-You're really carefree.
-What, you want me to get mad at you by saying some corny phrase like "how could Nadie? I thought we were friends"? I'm sorry but that's not my style.
-Not that dramatic either but I expected at least a similar reaction.
-Bah, who cares. We're soul mates~
Silver Wolf will be very angry if he ever heard that....
Now yes, this chapter in Xianzhou Yaoqing was closed.
...
..
.
The next day.
-*Sigh*. So tired~ Nadie, give me a massage.
-Good job.
Just this once I will spoil her as Feixiao has just left an important meeting with all the Xianzhou Commissions.
My existence, the revelation that I am Emanator of both the Paths of the Hunt and Abundance was alarming news to the entire Xianzhou Alliance. It is as if a contradiction made synergy.
Luckily I had Feixiao defending me tooth and sword.
After waiting for Feixiao to come out of his meeting for I don't know how many hours, it seems they finally decided to treat me as their benefactor. This is mainly due to my connection with Lan, the fact that I came to the Yaoqing is due to him after all.
-Make sure to say thank you, is that clear to you? You don't know how much it cost me to gain everyone's acceptance.
-Yes~ yes~ thank you Great General for showing mercy to this insignificant being.
-I didn't ask you to exaggerate so much, either....
-Jah. Then don't talk from the beginning.
After this event, Feixiao's behavior towards me clearly changed significantly.
-...
-Hm? What's wrong, Nadie? Why are you standing still out of nowhere?
-Sorry, Yaoshi is trying to contact me. I'll be back in a few seconds.
-... Be careful...
Then, the landscape in front of my eyes suddenly changed.
There it was, the Aeon of Plenty waiting for me to approach.
-In the end, everything happened as you wanted, didn't it? Yaoshi.
(...)
-Intercepting my connection with Lan by force, delivering the Crimson Spring to the Borisin. This made Lan believe that you were trying to convince me to conspire against him, which is why Lan was so quick to contact me to go to Yaoqing, the Xianzhou ship closest to me at the time. Lan wanted me to forge connections with the Xianzhou so as not to "betray" him, and I must admit it worked to perfection.
(...)
-But, in the end, your real goal was to force me to use the Way of Plenty in front of the Xianzhou. You wanted to reveal to them my connection to you. I don't know what your goal is in doing all this but...
(...)
-What's wrong? -Won't you talk? If you think I'm angry, it's the opposite. Being that I have killed so many Andavias of Abundance, but I must make it clear that I have no regrets.
(I just wanted to create the opportunity for you to be able to travel all over Xianzhou without worrying about using Abundance. I'm sorry that you have to go through this whim of mine, Nadie.)
So, Yaoshi sent all those Borisins to die so that I would gain the favor of Xianzhou eh....
It feels a little excessive but, well.... did you do it for my sake?
-It was a little unnecessary but, well, thanks... I guess.
(You're welcome. Also, you're free to kill as many Andavians of Plenty as you want, even if you murder other Emanators I won't stop you or get in the way. Just... make sure you get back safely).
-Oh, all right...
And so, Yaoshi's mental plane closed and I was back in the room alone with Feixiao. All in all, my conversation with Yaoshi lasted less than 1 second in reality.
-How did it go?
Feixiao asked with a worried face.
Well, she only asked about my well-being. Now I can feel Lan asking about me.
-How popular you are with the Aeons. What a sinful kid.
-I'm an adult.
-Of course you are...
-Hey.
...
..
.
The days flew by.
To be revered as a hero is the ultimate but, everything has an end....
-So, you'll be leaving tomorrow?
-Yes... I will return to Herta Space Station after a long time.
Currently, Feixiao and I are enjoying a bath in mixed hot springs.
No, I was brought here against my will. Why do so many women drag me to bathe with them?
-I see... Will we meet again...?
-What a stupid question. You'd better answer mine, will you breathe again?
-Pffth. I never get tired of having you by my side.
-What a coincidence, me too.
-...
A strange silence formed.
-Hey, you don't mind if I... do this?
With slow, seductive movements, Feixiao approached me and boldly caressed my body.
-I'm a married man, you know? I'm pretty sure I never hid my ring.
-But you have 2 other mistresses and you have the shamelessness to tell everyone.
I couldn't say anything in my defense.
-What a wicked general. -Should I call you Heavenly Claw instead of Heavenly Fox?
-Do you always have such a dirty tongue with girls?
-No, you're the first. I guess it's because of this weird atmosphere.
I was never one to tell dirty jokes. It's all Herta, Firefly and Silver Wolf's fault; they made me this dirty.
-I remind you that you called me a child a few days ago. If you lay a hand on me now, that would make you a shotacon.
-No problem for me.
-... Do whatever you want.
