Chapter 325 The Bloodshed Caused by Two Photos (1)
The river flows through the north of Sumeru City. As evening approaches, the golden-red setting sun reflects on the water, like melting amber.
The small villa with a garden is located by a stream, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines into the house through the window, casting a warm glow.
However, the atmosphere inside the room was completely out of sync with the ray of sunlight that was falling down, and could even be said to be... completely contrary to it.
Inside the living room, tea was laid out on a round table, steaming gently, but it did nothing to warm the stagnant atmosphere.
The girls sat around the table, their eyes subtly scanning their surroundings before quickly looking away.
Inside, there are gentle and sweet women, lively and sunny women, petite and cute women, and even women with a haughty and contrasting personality.
I imagine it would be a very pleasant thing for anyone to live here, right...?
Logically speaking, this should have been a very harmonious scene.
However, the atmosphere now is somewhat unusual.
If someone were to accidentally wander into this place now, they would probably step back and check if the sign on the door says "Winter Palace".
The trigger for this situation was, of course,...
As the last rays of the setting sun faded, the indoor lights replaced the twilight, illuminating a group photo in the closet.
The background is a villa by a stream, and following the direction of the stream's flow, someone looks overjoyed.
As for those around him, Dolly and Narcida were on either side of him, with little dancers and the young lady crowding behind them.
Bai Suishan stood a little further away with her arms crossed, probably because she was a little embarrassed to be seen in front of everyone.
The little lion was also on the side, glancing sideways. Annie and the little mushroom were close to the camera, with the expressionless grass dragon loli behind them and the Great Tree King with a gentle smile.
However, it is obvious that the people standing in the photo are a bit crowded.
Like... the small room with a rather oppressive atmosphere right now.
Of course, the lighting was fair and even; in contrast, there was another group photo next to the pink-haired loli.
The main characters remain the same, only the backdrop has changed to the headquarters of the House of Hearths in Fontaine, the Boufati Mansion.
The usually stern-faced executive rarely showed a smile. Compared to the bright smiles of the pink-haired girl and the bubbly orange girl, her smile was much more reserved, but the corners of her mouth no longer had their usual sharpness.
The campfire burned warmly, roasting fish and vegetables, like listening to the bells ringing on a snowy winter night, warming oneself by the fireplace.
However, these two seemingly heartwarming photos are about to trigger a bloody incident in this small room.
Aside from the gods and the executors, the girls in the photo "happened" to be gathered in this small house at that moment.
The girls on the table have clearly been divided into three factions.
On one side were the girls of Sumeru, and on the other side were Clementine and Elodie, who had come all the way from Fontainebleau.
As for the nominally neutral faction, or the neutral faction as it appears to be at present, it includes Lord Grass Dragon King and his retinue, as well as little Annie and a certain guard lion.
The atmosphere at that moment was like the calm before a storm.
The exchange of glances sparked an invisible flame at the dining table, like a battle of the century about to erupt.
Taking advantage of the moment when the two sides were exchanging glances, Annie stole a look at the two girls on either side and couldn't help but shiver.
Although she was a doll and theoretically shouldn't feel cold, she still felt a chill run down her spine at that moment.
This...this isn't right, is it? She felt like her CPU was about to burn out. How did things turn out like this?
It's just been two days of being away from home, how could this happen!
Annie looked around pleadingly with her chestnut brown eyes, clutching her teddy bear tightly. "Someone, please mediate!"
The dragon loli looked expressionless, but her tail seemed to be thrashing irritably, and she was visibly under pressure.
For some reason, Annie felt that this seemingly lazy little dragon was practically screaming "He deserves it!"
Even the usually most lively little mushroom seemed to sense that something was wrong, and huddled in a corner to minimize its presence.
With these two unreliable, Annie turned her gaze to the mercenary girl beside her. Dixia gritted her teeth and was about to get up, but after a short while, she silently sat back down.
There's no other reason than that their eyes were simply too terrifying.
Even a seasoned mercenary girl could only concede defeat before such a gaze.
The little lion gave her a helpless look, and Annie was at a loss. She could only pray in her heart that Mu Feng would come home as soon as possible.
She's done her best, come back and save the day, Brother Mufeng!
The silence continued until finally, with a soft clinking of porcelain, Dina Zede broke the silence.
Suddenly, the young lady put on a warm smile, picked up the teapot herself, and poured tea for everyone at the table.
"Hehe, everyone, don't be so serious."
"My two sisters have come from afar. The weather in Sumeru is hot and humid. Let's have a cup of mint tea to cool down first."
However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the word "younger sister" was particularly pronounced in the girl's pronunciation.
Besides building basements and constantly vying for Mu Feng, aristocratic etiquette is also one of the essential courses for the young lady.
Elodie's expression changed slightly; she was a formidable opponent.
With just a few simple words, she placed herself in the position of the hostess. This girl is no ordinary person.
However, as a big star in Teyvat, representing the House of Hearths and frequently attending various social events, it was naturally impossible for such a small scene to scare Elodie away.
The girl smiled as she took the teacup and sipped it gently.
"Then I'll have to trouble you all. However, I have important matters to attend to at home, so I think we probably won't stay here for long."
The use of "we" was emphasized, but the House of Hearths' counterattack came with unusual speed.
Farusan furrowed her beautiful brows slightly, crossed her arms, and flashed her light green heterochromatic eyes, issuing a sharp warning.
"Hmph, you think you can take my student away so easily?"
Even if the other party is a member of the Fools, that's impossible. This senior is not someone to be trifled with. Let's prepare to talk to her about the Biran Heavy Machine!
"Hehe, that's hard to say~"
Elodie's expression remained unchanged as she lowered her head to sip her tea once more, while Clementine pouted in dissatisfaction.
Well, Mu Feng, you've been having quite a blast in Sumeru. Wait till we get home, and we'll see how Pei Pei and I deal with you!
Although there was a slight mishap during the process, the original plan was to infiltrate the enemy to gather intelligence, but now we have indeed infiltrated the enemy, albeit physically.
Dolly narrowed her pale golden eyes; though petite, her presence was anything but weak.
"You two have come all the way from Fontainebleau, and you must have had a long and tiring journey. I suppose you haven't had time to register in the Void Terminal yet?"
The seemingly caring words were actually a barb, after all, the Fools were not popular in Sumeru, and there must be something wrong with their identities.
Elodie's expression flickered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure, as if she had come prepared and was dealing with the situation calmly.
"Hehe, thank you for your trouble, Dolly. But before we leave, we have naturally prepared the entry documents."
Although it's fake, it's enough.
Dolly couldn't find any flaws in Elodie's face, and clicked her tongue lightly. This girl is quite difficult to deal with.
The atmosphere became tense once again.
