Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 199 Fireworks Dream...

Just when Bubulu was feeling a little melancholy, Selina beside him suddenly shouted:

"Oh my God! Yi, Yiyin, why are you injured like this?"

Following Selina's shout, Bubulu temporarily turned his gaze to Yiyin... Wow, he was really seriously injured.

"(…What should I do? Should I tell them that Bruno was here?)"

Yi Yin shook her head slightly, which clearly meant that there was no need to say anything and she could just listen to his speech.

"Ahem... Bubulu, Miss, you guys arrived just in time! Just now, a monster sent by the Destruction Root Summoning Body appeared, and now it has been eliminated by Xuanwu and I."

"That monster is such a jerk..."

As he spoke, Yiyin began to cough in a slightly exaggerated manner.

"hold onto."

Selina helped Yi Yin up with a distressed look on her face. "My mom told me she saw something ominous in the sky... It's really strange, why do misfortunes happen wherever you go?"

"This is just a coincidence, isn't it? Miss, I'm fine. Please support Senior Xuanwu. Well, I hope we can have some peace and quiet for a while."

After Yiyin finished speaking, he felt a darkening before his eyes. The injuries from the battle began to take effect.

"I'm glad you're not hurt. I thought you..."

Selina looked at Yiyin and Xuanwu, who were in dishevel, and sighed softly.

Since Heinrich's death, Shadow King Village has been attacked by monsters again. This village truly has been plagued by many disasters.

Bubu Lu and Selina each helped one up and walked towards home with difficulty.

.

Since the "fierce battle" with Deltadar, Yiyin and Xuanwu have rested for a few days.

These past few days have been calm and nothing else has happened.

If I had to say… because Xuanwu absorbed some of Yiyin's power, he and the Green-haired Turtle were temporarily unable to perform a jump upgrade. Fortunately, after the power was under control, the black upgrade was also a good option.

As for Xuanwu, after this battle, her Dragon Horse was once again upgraded, from C-level to B-level. According to her, as the level of her Dragon Horse increases, the restrictions on her "Word Spirit" will become less and less, and in the end, she will even be able to truly make her words come true.

However, if he really did that, it would be too unnatural. Xuanwu didn't think he could do that.

"Wow, Xuanwu-senpai, if your words really work, that would be so cool. Imagine, just opening your mouth could make someone fall in love with you. What kind of love spell is that?"

When Xuanwu heard this, he just rolled his eyes at him.

"(Marriage and fate are all predetermined. My words cannot interfere with such matters. ...Even if it costs me my life, I cannot do that.)"

Xuanwu closed her eyes. Perhaps her decision to stay was a mistake. She was either injured or on the verge of being injured, never reaching full health. Ugh, what a headache.

.

The Lantern Festival is here.

So many things happened that Yiyin almost forgot why they came back.

The Lantern Festival was a very grand festival in the small village of Shadow King Village. Every time this day came, even someone as unkempt as Grandpa had to get serious.

Speaking of which, the preparations started early.

Leonard went on a long voyage, cutting off contact with Beatrice. As a sailor, he often spent three to five years away from home, so Beatrice had to shoulder the burden of the holidays alone.

She went to the next village early in the morning and bought six pounds of mutton, and also brought back a lot of rabbit meat for the children to feast on.

Selena also became independent early and followed Beatrice to do what women should do - making pot stickers.

Unlike flower rolls, wontons and dumplings, pot stickers are a very common pasta. However, because they are so common, the people of Blue Star do not usually eat them. They only eat them during the Lantern Festival.

Grandpa also bought all kinds of fuel and prepared to make sea lanterns, and pray by lighting them.

In previous years, when Bu Nuo and Bu Bulu were not at home, Grandpa would just buy a few sea lanterns and set them off as a token of appreciation. But this year was different. His grandson had brought home so many of them at once, so he had to show off his skills.

The manufacturing process of sea lanterns is not complicated. Almost every elderly person in Yingwang Village can make them, and each has his or her own unique manufacturing methods.

But... Grandpa has a premonition that after a hundred years, this craft will probably be lost.

Thinking of this, Grandpa seemed to be reminded of someone, but when he remembered that there were guests here, he started laughing again.

“(That’s great.)”

Seeing everyone's faces filled with busy yet happy smiles, Xuanwu couldn't help but smile.

"(Yiyin, your family treats you very well. Unlike me... I have hardly experienced the warmth of family. Although you are materially poor, you are spiritually happy. This really touches me deeply.)"

Yi Yin had no way to refute her, because she was right. Yi Yin was indeed materially poor—how could he not be poor? Think about the ark that Yi Yin had destroyed. Even if he were to be sunk into the river, he would not be able to repay the debt he owed.

Night has come again.

The moonlight is so cold that it seems to have no warmth at all when it shines on my body.

But Yiyin felt hot all over because he, Bubulu, Selina, Beatrice, Grandpa and Xuanwu were sitting around a coffin, eating pot stickers and singing.

Not far away, a few groups of flaming sea lanterns floated across the sky, looking so vivid.

Against the backdrop of rows of fireworks, the dark night is also painted with a dazzling red.

"After so many years, the people of Shadow King Village still don't hesitate to use fireworks."

Selina shook her head. Before her family was defeated, they were in the elemental crystal business. She knew very well what the essence of these fireworks was - it was just a small bit of flint of the lowest quality, coupled with some sensors, to achieve such a dazzling and surprising effect, which was amazing.

"..."

Xuanwu was also stunned.

The existence of fireworks is like that of people. Once they are lit, they enter the countdown.

However, fireworks can still show their unique characteristics, even if only for a moment. Some people will never reach this level in their entire lives.

Thinking of this, Xuanwu lowered his head and touched the bracelet on his hand.

"(The past is fleeting. When my father bought the bracelet for my late mother, did he ever imagine that their ending would be like this?)"

Yiyin looked at the sky full of fireworks, as if she was having an unrealistic dream, and even Xuanwu could hardly hear what she was saying.

"(After the Lantern Festival, I have to return to the Four Gods Base. Do you have time next time? I heard from Qinglong that we will be going on a mission to a place called Hot Spring Village soon. If possible, please come and lend us a hand."

"Hot spring village?"

Yiyin seemed to have heard of this place name somewhere, but he really couldn't remember it.

"Maybe, maybe not. Bubulu and I have been asked by Wilshire Base to go to their school festival. This was decided before the Lantern Festival. If everything goes well, I can talk to Chairman Shiziyao and ask him to assign this mission to the tail-end team."

“…■■■.”

Yiyin thought he was hallucinating because he didn't hear clearly what Xuanwu said.

At this critical moment, a huge sound of fireworks was heard, causing everyone to applaud and prevent Yiyin from hearing what Xuanwu was going to say.

"……never mind."

Xuanwu looked up at the sky. She knew that when the song ends, people will disperse. Even if she could barely survive, how long could she hold on?

……

The next day.

The morning light barely peeked through the sky, and the ground was already a mess. Xuanwu had already left long ago, and she was no longer seen.

Grandpa was still sleeping soundly, as if even the sky falling would not scare him.

Beatrice was explaining everything to Selina in detail. She thought it would be better for her daughter to continue staying at the Cross Base.

Finally, everything is ready and it's time to set off.

Bubulu seemed a little reluctant to leave. Yiyin patted his shoulder and said nothing.

"let's go."

Selina took one last look at Shadow King Village, then rode on the beetle and whizzed past them.

Beneath a tree not far away, a man quietly lowered his head, while a bird circled silently above him.

"The Lantern Festival is over... Then, we should go back, Fengyin."
