Chapter 34: Electro-Charged Defeats the Sand Crocodile, the Yuheng Star Admits Her Mistake (Fifth Update)

Although her leg was injured,

relying on the Lightning Stiletto to move was still possible.

After several flashes,

Keqing appeared beside a carriage.

The horses had long since been scared off by the intense battle.

However, the carriage remained in place.

Because of the earlier fight, the wooden barrel was somewhat shattered, but the water inside was just enough for her to utilize.

The sound of sand chasing her from behind grew constant.

In just a few more seconds, that man would appear before her again.

Keqing did not hesitate in the slightest; she used her sword to flick the wooden barrel and hurled it violently behind her.

"What is this..."

Crocodile stared at the barrel, stunned for a moment, before he noticed the water droplets dripping from it.

Not good.

That woman who uses lightning wants to use water to attack me.

Crocodile realized, waving his hand to slice the water barrel to pieces.

"Want to use water to defeat me? Don't joke around! Keep dreaming your pipe dreams..."

He had eaten that fruit for countless years.

He understood his own weaknesses better than anyone.

Thinking he could be defeated by a water barrel—

it was simply a joke.

"Oh? Is that so? What a pity, your weakness is too obvious..."

Accompanied by a cold, clear voice,

Keqing rushed into the water suspended in the air. Because the barrel had been shattered, a large amount of water fell onto her body.

Electric light flared.

She moved once more.

"Sword light as I am, sweeping away all clutter!"

A desolate and beautiful lightning glow

transformed into eight graceful figures,

surrounding Crocodile completely.

Those phantoms began their slashes,

so fast that even he could not distinguish which was the real body and which were the phantoms.

The sword light was entwined with water and lightning.

Every strike turned Crocodile's counterattacks into bubbles.

The thunder paralyzed his body;

the water prevented him from elementalizing.

In less than two seconds,

dozens of slashes concluded,

until the final sword pierced into Crocodile's heart.

Only then did Keqing stop, her face pale.

She swayed, nearly collapsing.

Her head felt dizzy for some reason.

Fortunately, the group system issued a notification.

The mission was complete.

[Ding... Congratulations on completing the two-star Heavens Mission, obtaining 50,000 points.]

[Note: You may choose to return immediately, or choose to linger for a while.]

[Remark: The time you can linger is twenty minutes.]

"Return..."

Keqing said reluctantly in her heart.

Then, her vision went black, and she disappeared from the spot.

When she woke up again,

she discovered the surroundings were filled with the smell of medicine.

Keqing frowned slightly and asked in a weak voice, "Where am I?"

"This is Bubu Pharmacy... I don't know where Miss Keqing was injured, but to have our national treasure carry you here personally..."

Baizhu's smiling face appeared in Keqing's field of vision.

Likewise, appearing with him

was that cute little zombie, Qiqi.

She was tilting her head, looking at her.

Keqing squeezed out a faint smile and said, "Thank you both..."

"It's nothing, a healer's heart. We are just doing our job for pay..."

As they spoke, Su Han walked in from outside.

Seeing Keqing awake,

he hurriedly walked over and asked with concern, "Are you alright?" **CHAPTER 99**

They discovered the smell of medicine all around.

Keqing frowned slightly and asked in a weak voice, "Where am I?"

"This is Bubu Pharmacy... I don't know where Miss Keqing was injured, but to think our national treasure had to carry you here personally."

Baizhu’s smiling face appeared in Keqing’s field of vision.

Likewise, appearing alongside him.

Was that cute little zombie, Qiqi.

The other party was tilting her head, looking at her.

Keqing squeezed out a faint smile and said, "Thank you both..."

"It’s nothing, a healer’s heart is benevolent. We are just getting paid to do a job..."

As they spoke, Su Han walked in from outside.

Looking at the awakened Keqing.

He hurriedly walked up and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"Mm, I'm okay... just a bit weak. I don't have much strength..."

Keqing felt her physical condition and spoke truthfully.

Baizhu, standing to the side, glanced at the two of them

and silently withdrew.

Su Han shook his head and said, "Next time, don't push yourself. Do you know that Crocodile's weapon is poisonous, and it's a deadly poison?

At that time, you could have just given up the mission and returned.

Yet you insisted on fighting continuously.

If I hadn't found you early

and sent you here in time,

you would have been bedridden for at least half a year..."

"Is it that serious?"

Keqing hadn't expected the enemy's poison to be so terrifying.

Su Han glared at her and said angrily, "Serious? If your physical fitness wasn't so good, you would have lost your life long ago..."

Did this woman have any idea how dangerous it was just now?

When he saw her complexion looking wrong,

Su Han understood that Keqing had been poisoned.

That old dog Crocodile would do anything to win.

In the original story, he had poisoned others before.

Fortunately, he reacted in time.

The moment Keqing returned, he carried her straight to Bubu Pharmacy.

It took an hour to get her to wake up.

"I was thinking at the time, if I had these 50,000 points, I could exchange them for many useful things. It could strengthen Liyue's power...

I didn't think the enemy would be so despicable."

"Then have you thought about what kind of loss it would be for Liyue if you died? This isn't the only mission.

If you give up, there will be another one in three days at most!

If you were gone, there wouldn't be a second Keqing in Liyue."

"I... I..."

The usually strong-willed Keqing,

for some reason, suddenly didn't know what to say.

It was clearly because the other party was drunk that she was forced to accept the mission.

But after Su Han said that,

Keqing realized that she indeed had some issues.

Moreover, this feeling of being cared for made the Yuheng Star feel warm inside.

No one had ever treated her like this before.

Slowly, Keqing murmured in an extremely small voice, "I won't do this next time..."

"Hmph... as long as you know. I've already had Xiangling prepare medicinal cuisine for you; we'll eat at the Jade Chamber in a while."

"Mm."

Keqing closed her eyes and responded softly.

[I'm having a bit of writer's block today, the extra update will be tomorrow. There's one last update coming shortly, please give me some flowers, mwah...] **CHAPTER 100**
