Chapter 1217: Miss Guinaifen accomplished what Miss Yunli could not
The Luo Fu Xianzhou.
Quite a few people in the Alchemy Commission familiar with Miss Bai Lu were looking at that post in the game; the content was truly nothing out of the ordinary.
After all, Miss Bai Lu escaping from the Alchemy Commission was no longer fresh news; she would stir up a scene every once in a while, and most people were basically used to it.
It was just that the subsequent content of the post made some people rather concerned. If the content were true, could it really be related to a Heliobus?
Miss Bai Lu listened to the discussions around her, pouting as she lay on the table.
(If you all let me go out freely, I wouldn't have to escape on my own, would I?)
【In the game's story, after accepting this commission, Miss Sushang still seemed somewhat indifferent, saying: "Miss Bai Lu's escape? What's so strange about that? Doesn't the Dragon Lady escape every few days?"】
【Miss Guinaifen shook her head and said: "So the key issue isn't the 'escape.' Look at the text below—"】
【"The Alchemy Commission physician wanted to go over and catch Miss Bai Lu, but Miss Bai Lu actually vanished into thin air, leaving her grasping at empty space..."】
【Stelle asked: "Could it be that she saw wrong?"】
【Miss Guinaifen shook her head slightly and said: "Judging from the follow-up comments, there are quite a few eyewitnesses. And no one has ever heard of the Dragon Lady knowing any escape magic, right?"】
【Watching Huohuo looked at the post's content and nodded: "It really does look like the work of a Heliobus... Heliobi are inherently skilled at manipulating senses, and there are often records in literature of them manifesting illusions and playing god."】
【Upon hearing this, Miss Sushang rolled up her sleeves and said: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get moving and find the eyewitnesses to ask around."】
The livestream room.
"Looks like Miss Bai Lu really was influenced by a Heliobus?"
"Eighty percent likely, assuming the post's content isn't fabricated."
"Just didn't expect a Heliobus to actually find the Medicine-Seeking Dragon Lady. Should we call it a coincidence?"
"Hahaha, Miss Sushang really is impatient."
【In the game's story, listening to Miss Sushang, Watching Huohuo nodded: "Before setting off, we really should prepare our intelligence."】
【"If we can know what the Heliobus wants to do and what it can do, it will be a great help in rescuing the possessed host."】
【"Asking the eyewitnesses involved is one way, but those people know nothing about Heliobi themselves. I... I have an immature idea... We still have another source of information in our hands."】
【Stelle was slightly startled upon hearing this, then quickly realized who the source of information Watching Huohuo was referring to.】
【Stelle frowned slightly and said: "You mean... Heliobus Xiyan? But why would Heliobus Xiyan listen to us?"】
【Upon hearing this, Miss Guinaifen also said: "I heard from Lady Hanya that this bad thing is trapped here by an array, currently in a stalemate with the Judge. Will it cooperate with us?"】
【Watching Huohuo's voice trembled a little, but she still said firmly: "Although just thinking about going to see Heliobus Xiyan... I... I'm scared to death... However, I guess it must really want to see me and eat me."】
【"It was tricked by the tail, and it has been brooding over it. As long as we can provoke its competitive spirit, we can make it act according to our ideas."】
The livestream room.
"Oh my Aeon, is this still the Watching Huohuo we know?"
"Wuwuwu! After the tail left, Watching Huohuo has become more mature."
"Yeah, a Watching Huohuo not held back by cowardice is also very cute."
"I finally understand why Lady Xueyi and the others say Watching Huohuo's ability isn't bad; she was just held back by her cowardly mindset before."
"Yeah, she had the tail to rely on before, but now she can't."
"Hey buddy, I have no grudge against you, why stab me in the heart?"
"Alright, it's as if the tail can't come back."
"But Watching Huohuo's growth this time is really obvious. Even though she's so afraid of Heliobus Xiyan, she still formulated this plan."
"Without the tail, Watching Huohuo has become strong on her own!"
"A feeling of both gratification and sadness."
The Luo Fu Xianzhou.
The tail watched the plot in the game and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, the little coward has courage now. Rare, rare."
Watching Huohuo looked at the plot, her legs involuntarily going soft: "To go find Heliobus Xiyan... Ugh... Do I really have that courage?"
Looking at herself in the game, Watching Huohuo felt a bit dazed, but upon thinking of the tail leaving and disappearing in the game, she could vaguely understand.
【In the game's story, the four chatted all the way and soon arrived at the place where Heliobus Xiyan was kept.】
【Seeing the four arrive, Heliobus Xiyan said coldly and boredly: "Ah, boring to the point of heartbreak. Even the occasional flying insect passing by has become a pleasure. But this time, a few little flies have come knocking on the door together..."】
【Heliobus Xiyan said this, looking at Watching Huohuo and Stelle, a mocking smile flashing in its eyes.】
【The straightforward Miss Sushang spoke first: "Heliobus Xiyan, we want to understand the situation from you. Please cooperate with our work."】
【Upon hearing Miss Sushang speak, Heliobus Xiyan also recognized her and couldn't help but mock: "Yo, isn't this the little sister who fainted as soon as she entered the Garden of Serenity? Haven't seen you in a few days, and your tone has become this tough?"】
【Upon hearing this, Miss Sushang almost broke down and said angrily: "Hey! Where is my sword? You, you, you, you just wait for me..."】
The livestream room.
"Heliobus Xiyan's sharp tongue is still so incisive."
"But it's also stating facts."
"Hahahaha, dying of laughter. Miss Sushang being scared into fainting before is probably a lifelong dark history."
"Hahaha, but Miss Sushang is also very cute."
"A broken-down Miss Sushang is too interesting."
"But it can be seen that Heliobus Xiyan has indeed been a bit bored during this time."
"It was bound to be. The lifespan of a Heliobus might be longer than that of the Xianzhou people, but so what? If there is no freedom, a long time is no longer an enjoyment, but a torment."
"But for Heliobus Xiyan, I only feel it's satisfying."
"Indeed, whatever bad consequences this guy Heliobus Xiyan encounters, I'm happy to accept."
【In the game's story, Stelle comforted her: "Don't be provoked by it."】
【Miss Sushang took a deep breath and gritted her teeth: "You're right. Endure for a moment and the wind will be calm... take a step back and the more you think about it, the angrier you get..."】
The livestream room.
"Hahaha, dying of laughter, Miss Sushang is so cute!"
"Too many cute girls, ahhhhhhh!!"
"But this saying of Li Da is not wrong either. Many times, taking a step back doesn't mean the sea and sky are vast, but the more you think about it, the angrier you get."
"Horizontal scroll: It angers me to death!"
"Calm down, Miss Sushang. It's not worth it to be angered by this scum Heliobus Xiyan."
The Luo Fu Xianzhou.
Aurum Alley.
Miss Sushang covered her face and said helplessly: "Now my acquaintances will probably all use this to mock me."
Miss Guinaifen stretched out her finger to scratch her cheek and said embarrassedly: "Ah hahaha, Shangshang, don't mind these. I, cough cough cough, I didn't mean any harm."
【In the game's story, Watching Huohuo spoke up at this time: "Heliobus Xiyan... because of a small oversight you were defeated, you... are very unwilling, right?"】
【Heliobus Xiyan looked at Watching Huohuo's appearance. Having experienced the years and seen much, Heliobus Xiyan saw through Watching Huohuo's intentions at a glance. In a mocking tone, filled with malicious pleasure, it said harsh words: —】
【"Little fox, what do you want to get from me? Want to know the whereabouts of that watchdog? Sorry, it has long since turned to dust!"】
【Upon hearing this, Watching Huohuo's heart surged. Even though she knew Heliobus Xiyan's words were intentionally meant to sting her, the worry and sadness in her heart could not be erased.】
【But at this moment, the strong Watching Huohuo forcibly suppressed this emotion, forced herself to be calm, and looked at Heliobus Xiyan, saying: "I... I don't care about these. Instead, you... you finally escaped from the furnace."】
【"Right now, there are Heliobi roaming freely all over the Luo Fu. Yet you have to be trapped here, unable to move an inch... Are you willing to accept this?"】
The livestream room.
"Ahhhhhhh, Heliobus Xiyan's words are really harsh."
"Damn it, don't bully our matcha cupcake!"
"Watching Huohuo is really both strong and cute. You can hear the fear in her heart, yet she forces herself to be calm. It really makes people like her and feel sorry for her."
"Sigh, Watching Huohuo, this is the pain of growth."
"Even though she's terrified inside, she still mustered the courage to find Heliobus Xiyan. Watching Huohuo is so likeable!!!"
The Luo Fu Xianzhou.
The tail watched Watching Huohuo in the game and couldn't help but say with emotion: "After I left, the little coward really became brave."
Watching Huohuo said softly: "But, if possible, I still don't want the tail to leave."
【In the game's story, Heliobus Xiyan looked at Watching Huohuo and mocked: "Hahaha... You want me to help you all and betray my own kind?"】
【However, looking at the four who were staring at it in silence, Heliobus Xiyan also fell into a long silence. Hiding behind the eyes of the Judge, it repeatedly sized up everyone present again, and finally spoke—】
【"I have one condition. I want to resume the outcome of the battle between the great Heliobus 'Heliobus Liaoyuan' and the General back then. As long as you can bring the current General of the Luo Fu before me... everything is open to negotiation."】
The livestream room.
