Chapter 384 The Moon and Home
Chapter 384 The Moon and Home
Just when everyone had finished eating and drinking happily and were leaving the store, they found that a group of Inazuma's shogunate troops had surrounded them.
Everyone's face was filled with confusion. They looked at each other to see who had done something wrong. In the end, they all looked at Wu Menghai alone.
Then, a member of the shogunate army, who should be the squad leader, stepped forward and looked at everyone fearlessly. "You're all strangers. Our informant has reported that we suspect that some of you are illegal immigrants, including those who possess the Eye of God. First, please show us your passes."
"Hey!?!" Wu Menghai was shocked when he heard them say that. How bold!
I didn’t expect that I usually don’t have anything to do here, so I stayed in Inazuma for a while longer today.
I don’t know which bad guy reported him, but don’t let him catch him!
And didn’t you see us talking with Kujo and General Raiden near the General’s Mansion a while ago?
Unfortunately, they were not a group of people, but they did have passes, and Wu Menghai took them out.
They found that the person who was certified had the seal of Kujo Sara, which was very direct. This was not issued according to the normal process.
The shogunate army took a look at the contents and immediately returned them. Finding that the group was a bit tough, they wanted to release them all.
While this is normal, the Eye Hunting Order is currently in full swing. Anyone holding the Eye of God is extremely dangerous, and they must be on high alert.
So they all looked towards Wu Menghai. Especially the divine eyes, their gazes were looking downwards at the same time.
Wu Menghai immediately covered his waist with his hands. A bunch of passersby actually dared to set their sights on his Divine Eye.
But what concerned him more was why they were all so hostile towards him.
Ying noticed that Wu Menghai was looking at her. She patted her chest with a smile on her face, looking very proud.
Anyway, I don't have the divine eye, and it's rare to find someone who doesn't know what's right. This scene is not common, and I am happy to watch him laugh.
Finina also puffed out her chest. She didn't have the Eye of God either, but she was a god, huh.
What's there to be proud of? Wu Menghai was speechless.
They didn't have it, but there was someone beside him who definitely had it, hehe. Wu Menghai grinned and pointed his finger.
"She also has the Eye of God. I suggest you go find trouble with her first!" He then took a step forward and pulled Sandone, who was also looking up at people, in front of him.
"You're a soft persimmon, for sure!" Wu Menghai pointed his hands at both sides of Sandoni.
Sandoni frowned slightly. This guy wanted to use him as a shield to deal with the little troubles of these small fry, right?
We can't let her suffer any loss!
Then, in front of Wu Menghai, Sandoni did not violently teach them a lesson. Instead, she bowed gracefully in front of everyone: "Excuse me, I am just an ordinary weak woman. What is the Eye of God? I don't have it~"
"I don't believe you at all! You are obviously a rock type!" Wu Menghai said as he quickly glanced at Sandone.
"?" Wu Menghai was puzzled. To be honest, he had not really examined and appreciated Sandoni before.
This time I noticed that she didn't seem to have the Eye of God placed on her body...
At this point, Wu Menghai ignored the surrounding soldiers and placed his hands on her shoulders, controlling Sandonnie to spin around: "Where did you hide it?"
"No~" When Wu Menghai let go and asked questions, Sandone took the initiative to stand on tiptoe, lifted the hem of her skirt, and slowly turned her body two and a half circles with just one toe.
Wu Menghai narrowed his eyes and stopped.
He should be able to determine where Sandone is hiding. It's you, Sandone's true form, Plonia!
The neglected Shogunate Army: "Don't try to implicate innocent people. Hand over the Eye of God immediately, otherwise you will still be arrested for rebellion!"
"Okay." Wu Menghai covered his forehead. Although he could just teleport away, that would be embarrassing. He also wanted to take out his Qinglong toy spear and let them fly for fun.
But they were already in their territory and it was too late, so they didn't want to make too much noise.
Suddenly, Wu Menghai's eyes lit up. He looked behind the man seriously and waved his hand: "General Lei Dian! You're here!"
The experienced captain of the shogunate army who was talking to Wu Menghai clearly didn't believe that the general could appear here at this time. He was obviously lying: "Are you still trying to pull this trick to distract us?"
Wu Menghai was impressed by the man in front of him. He was indeed their captain, and he guessed half right. "Oh, you didn't fall for it. Not bad, you have some anti-fraud awareness."
"I advise you not to resort to those useless little tricks. Just be honest..."
Wu Menghai shook his head slightly and patted the brother on the shoulder: "I know you are in a hurry, but take a look behind you first."
As soon as Wu Menghai finished speaking, the brother heard his companions standing at attention and shouting, "General."
It really is! The team leader quickly turned around and bowed, "General."
General Thunder suddenly appeared among the crowd. Perhaps this was the power of the gods.
The Lord General of Thunder nodded, then stood majestically in front of Wu Menghai with his hands on his chest, and waved his hand for them to leave.
Although the general rarely came out, he would directly ask them to leave.
But the general didn't want to talk, his majesty was still there. They understood what she meant and quickly packed up and left.
"Haha." After they left, Ying stepped forward and rudely inserted one hand into General Lei Dian's chest.
Sure enough, she did not resist. This Thunder General who suddenly appeared was summoned by Wu Menghai himself.
Wu Menghai smiled and put it away.
"That person just now was Inazuma's god, the Thunder General?" Sandone crossed his arms, looking disdainful. He looked ordinary, not even a ten-thousandth as good as their Ice Queen.
"Yes, do you want me to take you to see the real thing?" Wu Menghai said with a smile.
"Not interested, we should go back." Sandoni said and put his hand on Wu Menghai's shoulder.
Very self-conscious~ Wu Menghai nodded: "Okay."
Back in Liyue, looking up, the night sky was brighter than the gray and overcast sky that Inazuma had just seen.
The big moon was hanging brightly in the sky, and Columbia was in high spirits again: "I'll sing a song for you! Ah~~~"
Hearing Columbia's sudden words, Sandone was startled and reacted quickly. He hurriedly asked Plonia to take him away and said, "I'm sleepy. I'll go first! Plonia, let's go."
Columbia, who had just spoken, waved goodbye and said, "Good night, little Sangsang."
Listening to it every day, in Sandoni's eyes, Columbia is a music box that keeps disturbing her at night and can't be turned off.
"Ah~, then we should go back and rest." Compared to listening to music late at night, Paimon and Ying were also sleepy and had no mood. They hadn't received any commission from Catherine just now.
They could just rest up today, and they didn't need to spend money on a hotel, so they went straight to Wu Menghai's shop. They had been staying there for a while now.
After they all left, Wu Menghai took Funina and stood alone with her under the big tree, looking at each other.
"Well, tonight we..." Wu Menghai said with a little hesitation.
"No! This is too fast!" Furninda adjusted her hat and said quickly.
"What do you mean by fast? I mean where are we going to sleep tonight? Or should we sleep in my shop?" Wu Menghai asked, pointing in the direction of his own shop.
Only then did Funina lower her hands and intertwine them, "Ah, that's it... Then take me back to Momang Palace first. I'll see if there are any big performances scheduled tomorrow. I haven't been to the opera in a while."
"It hasn't been many days! That's fine, it's only a few days away from the ceremony of inviting the immortals. It's a good time for you to go back and arrange your schedule to avoid conflicts on that day." Wu Menghai nodded.
"Okay!" Funina nodded happily with her eyes narrowed.
In the end, Wu Menghai didn't care about the top of his head, and he moved closer to Funina and kissed her face.
The progress is pretty good. Now I can kiss casually when there is no one around.
"Hmm~~~" Funina's face turned red instantly and she hit him lightly.
"You guys, are you guys posting? Can I join in?"
Wu Menghai was about to take another step forward when he suddenly paused, forgetting there was a "person" above him. What a loss! If he had known earlier, he would have just tapped her face.
"No! Let's go back!" Funina shouted instantly, pulling Wu Menghai to ask him to teleport quickly.
After taking Funina back to Momang Palace, Wu Menghai looked up at the sky as they were quickly pushed out of the gate and couldn't get in.
However, tonight's experience was indeed quite wonderful.
When Wu Menghai arrived home alone, Columbia was still in a good mood, singing. She had let me eat less. I couldn't let her get too proud.
Wu Menghai, who had put Columbia on the sofa and cleaned the room for a while, suddenly said, "Xiao Ge, turn off the music mode."
"Meah~" Columbia continued, as if she didn't hear it.
"Hey, our classmate Xiaoge, stop bleating, it's time for us to rest!"
"Huh? Are you calling me, Xiaoge?" When Wu Menghai suddenly mentioned Xiaoge, Columbia realized that he was talking about her.
"Yes." Wu Menghai nodded.
This was a new name that suddenly came out of Wu Menghai's mouth, and I don't know how he came up with it.
Columbia also thought it sounded nice and told her she could call her whatever she wanted. Columbia said, "Okay, since you like this name, you can call me Xiaoge from now on."
Wu Menghai shook his head. He called that name just as a joke: "Oh, no. I like Columbia..."
"Well, as long as you like it!" Little Columbia nodded and opened her red eyes to look at Wu Menghai, which turned into a beautiful pink color in a few breaths.
"Because this name is better, huh?..." Wu Menghai paused before finishing his words and blinked twice.
He must have seen it right just now. The eyes of this little Columbia had changed color.
When Wu Menghai finished cleaning the house, he found it was indeed a bit big.
Unable to sleep, he took the still active Columbia to the large balcony on the second floor, sat on a lounge chair and looked at the night sky.
The night sky from Fontaine is also nice, with stars twinkling and a bright moon in the sky.
I've been busy for so long, and now I check my phone: it's only ten o'clock, though it's still early. There's been no news from Fukaros. It's too late, maybe he's really gone to bed.
At this time, Columbia chatted with Wu Menghai: "I heard from them that you, like the traveler, are from outside Teyvat."
Wu Menghai didn't expect Columbia to bring up this topic with him: "Yes, although the traveler and I are both outsiders, we are actually different."
"Then, have you seen the starry sky outside the world of Teyvat?" Columbia asked again.
Wu Menghai said: "That's not the case. I actually appeared in this world out of thin air from another world, not just from the outside."
"Is that so... Are you still looking at the moon?" Columbia looked up at Wu Menghai and found that he had been staring at the big moon in the sky for a long time.
"Well, now that I calm down and look at the big, round moon, it really makes me miss my hometown." Wu Menghai breathed a sigh of relief.
"So you're homesick?" Columbia's emotions were mixed. She was drawn into the atmosphere and began to empathize with the other people. She also wanted to return to her home.
Wu Menghai paused for a moment, looked at Columbia beside him and said to her, "It's okay. Now I have a new home here. It's good to be here! Even if I have the chance to go back in the future, I don't want to go back to my old home."
"Why?" Columbia asked in confusion, "Having the opportunity to let you return home is the best outcome, isn't it?"
"It's mainly because there are so many things here that I can't let go. There's also elemental power that I couldn't possess before."
"I will be happy here no matter what, and I still have many familiar friends and companions to accompany me."
"I'm very satisfied. It's good to live a comfortable life like this." Wu Menghai sat up and said slowly.
"Yeah." Columbia nodded. She could sense that the aura Wu Menghai exuded at this moment was filled with helplessness, loneliness and confusion, and then firmness and clarity.
Like myself, I have been lonely and confused since I was born in Teyvat, but fortunately I still have a clear goal in my heart.
She still wants to go back to the real moon to take a look. That was her former home.
Columbia said slowly, closing her eyes. "My home is not here. I want to find my home, which is somewhere I cannot reach."
Wu Menghai smiled lightly, somewhat nonchalantly. How far could it go? The heavily armored bunny went straight over!
"Where is it? Tell me, I can take you there quickly!"
Columbia was silent for a while, then suddenly started singing again.
