Chapter 823 Go, slap her twice!
"Don't be in such a hurry, Vilette. I know you're so excited to see me that you can't contain yourself, but can't a dragon over five hundred years old be a little more composed?" Zuo Xi looked at Vilette with regret and disappointment, as if the other's behavior had hurt him deeply.
"...Lord Urken, I admit I was a bit impulsive earlier, so could you please let me go?" This was all Navelette could say after trying to break free from Zuo tide's grasp with one hand.
This was truly a last resort. Although he didn't believe that the person who knocked him unconscious and imprisoned him for several days without saying a word could have any good intentions, being kept like this was not a solution.
"Of course, as long as you don't go crazy again." Zuo tide shrugged, releasing the pressure on his hands and the solidified space. Vilette felt a lightness all over his body, and his body regained its freedom.
"Alright, everyone's here, so let's begin the explanation." Zuo Xi clapped his hands lightly to signal everyone to focus, then nodded slightly to Fukaros. "It's your turn to explain. The God of Fontaine—your five-hundred-year plan—can now be made public, at least to everyone present."
......
"So...that's how it is..." Ying's pupils trembled uncontrollably, waves of sadness welling up from the bottom of her heart.
“I’ll deceive ‘Heavenly Principles’ for five hundred years, then use the energy I’ve accumulated over five hundred years to destroy the Water God’s throne, and finally return the power of water to Navilette. Navilette will then forgive the ‘original sin’ of the Fontaine people… This is my plan—a grand performance, and also a grand… ‘deception’.” Fukaros said calmly, as if the story she was telling had nothing to do with her.
“How cruel,” Navelette said, though her expression betrayed her true feelings. “After all, this 'you' is just an ordinary person; what agonizing torment this must be for her. And…”
“From five hundred years ago until now, you have done so much, and all of this... was just to ‘sacrifice yourself’?” The words, as calm as a lake, revealed a hint of reluctance and sorrow. It is said that flowing water is heartless, but those five hundred years have ultimately left indelible marks.
"First, does it really have to be this way...?" Ying's voice was low, suppressing her anger. "Why, why do you always like to sacrifice yourselves?!"
The pent-up discontent erupted at this moment. Rather than being dissatisfied with Fukaros's actions, it was more that these actions reminded her of unacceptable things.
"Huh? This, um, why..." Fukaros wanted to explain why there was such a strong reaction, but there must be some reason behind it. Moreover, Ying's aura was so strong that she couldn't even finish her question.
"Calm down, Ying. Sacrifice is often unavoidable. You need to understand that sacrifice is not the goal, but just a means to an end. I ask you, if it were to save... save your brother, would you be willing to sacrifice your own life?" Zuo Xi stroked Ying's head like a cat, but against the grain, making Ying's hair look like a bird's nest.
"If you don't know how to comb it, then don't! And this question is so shameless!" Ying, literally bristling with anger, shook off Zuo Xi's hand and glared at him defiantly, but still answered his question properly: "If there's only one way, I should know how..."
She paused, then added, "And Zuo tide, you were trying to use yourself as an example, weren't you?" She stared into Zuo Xi's eyes, speaking each word with utmost seriousness, "If you were the one in danger, if I had to sacrifice myself to save you... I would be willing."
"You think I don't exist?!" Sandone, who had been ignoring her for a while, finally couldn't hold back anymore. "Heh, it seems I can't indulge you too much. Aren't you planning to pledge your lives to each other later?"
Do you really think she's good-tempered? She's started taking advantage of me just because I've been a little lenient and haven't interfered. This blond guy has absolutely no sense of propriety!
"Um... so now it's...?" Fu Ningna, who hadn't spoken until now, weakly raised her hand to ask. Although Zuo Xi had told her the whole plan beforehand, she still didn't know where it was at.
Is this person who looks exactly like me the one with divine power? Since she's still here, does that mean the plan failed? Or are they currently discussing how to proceed with this step?
"No rush, you have more important things to do right now." Zuo Xi looked at Funina, then gestured towards Fucaros a few times. "Looking at this bastard, don't you have anything to say?"
"What... do you want to say?" Funina scratched the back of her head, puzzled. Did she have something to say to her other self?
"Scold her, beat her up, point your finger at her and yell at her, grab her hair and slap her!" Zuo Xi frowned. "This girl has tormented you for five hundred years, five hundred years! How many times have you been on the verge of a mental breakdown, how many times have you cried in the middle of the night, how many times have you almost forgotten who you were? It's all thanks to her. Aren't you going to do something to vent your anger?"
Admittedly, Fukaros had to pay a heavy price, but now she doesn't have to. So Zuo tide wondered if some accounts could be settled.
He came to Fryna's side, bent down, put his arm around her shoulder, and rested his head on her. Then Zuo tide pointed to Fucarus and whispered in Fryna's ear:
"Go, slap her twice!"
