Chapter 118: The High-Cloud Quintet — Yingxing II
"Needless to say about Jingliu, she fell into the Mara-struck state, went missing afterwards, and has now returned to the Xianzhou for unknown reasons."
"For the sake of that Foxian woman among the High-Cloud Quintet, Dan Feng and Yingxing came to the Scalegorge Waterscape and began researching the secret arts of the Vidyadhara—the Transmutation Arcanum."
"But they ended up creating an abomination of a dragon, which triggered the Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion."
"The outcome of this turmoil was that the rebellion was suppressed, the Imbibitor Lunae—Dan Feng—was captured, Yingxing paid with his life, and the position of Sword Champion, once held by Jingliu, has remained vacant ever since."
"Yingxing's life should have ended there, but due to the result of the horrific, accidental contamination caused by his and Dan Feng's own desperate arrogance., bringing him back from the dead and granting him an extremely powerful self-healing ability."
"However, Yingxing lost all his memories, even forgetting his own name. He was reborn outside the Xianzhou, and it wasn't until he looked at his reflection in the water and saw his own face that he remembered the beginning and end of this tragedy, realizing he was a new flower bud growing on a withered branch."
"The video ends here!" [ After this is the story of the Stellaron Hunters, which will be for another inventory, hehe. ]
…
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kevin: Another inventory that shows one half but leaves out the other. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Furina: Death penalty! Death penalty! How dare you cut it off right here! ]
"Hmph, come and hit me if you've got the guts, dummy!"
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Cheng Lixue: Just as Master said, this inventory live room is really asking for a beating. ]
"How bold! Don't forget who resurrected you!"
[ Honkai Star Rail - Bronya: What a trashy inventory live room! ]
[ Honkai Star Rail - Seele: Exactly! Why doesn't someone who stops talking halfway through just go die? ]
Everyone in the inventory live room expressed their agreement with Bronya and Seele's view.
"Hmph, I'm not going to argue with you all. Next, let's play the short video of this craftsman, Yingxing!"
"At the same time, it is also his philosophical quote!"
"Better to be a firefly rushing to the flame than a useless tree living forever!"
[ Genshin Impact - Zhongli: This line is quite good! ]
[ Genshin Impact - Xingqiu: I didn't expect this Mr. Blade to be able to make such a philosophical poetic line! ]
…
On the screen, two figures slowly appeared. They were Jingliu and Dan Heng.
"This spear still recognizes you as its master, Imbibitor Lunae! Do you still remember the person who forged this weapon for you?" Jingliu looked at Dan Heng in front of her. As if suddenly remembering something, she asked him, and then continued, "The person who forged this Cloud-Piercer spear for you once said: Combat is like forging; the fierce flames melt away impurities, revealing a person's true inner nature!"
"Yingxing!" Hearing Jingliu's words, Dan Heng seemed to fall into memory. He placed his hand on his chin and slowly uttered a name.
Then, the screen turned black and white. A deep well appeared on the screen, and a voice slowly said, "Better to be a firefly rushing to the flame than a useless tree living forever!"
The scene shifted, and Yingxing was holding a long sword, seemingly fighting someone, slashing repeatedly.
"I will let all Xianzhou people know that Yingxing's fleeting life is far more valuable than their long, useless lifespans!"
A white-haired man appeared on the screen. From the wrinkles on his face, it was clear he had grown old, but he still raised his wine cup with several close friends, drinking to their hearts' content.
"This spear is sharp enough to pierce dragon scales. Be careful not to get hurt by it, Lord High Elder!"
On the screen, Yingxing sat on a spider lily, his eyes tightly closed, as if reminiscing about something.
"The video ends here!"
…
[ Honkai Star Rail - Xuan Yong: Were you afraid of this spear piercing Dan Heng's dragon scales? But how could you know that this spear didn't pierce his dragon scales, but instead ran through your own chest? ]
[ Honkai Star Rail - Blade: I… ]
Blade felt as though he had returned to the time of the Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion.
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Eden: Because of a turmoil, everything changed. I imagine the hearts of several of you must be in great pain! ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Griseo: Big brothers and big sisters, please don't cry. Griseo will draw a picture for you! ]
[ Genshin Impact - Xiangling: What an amazing spear, actually able to pierce dragon scales! If I had this spear, would I be able to go to Mondstadt to eat dragon meat? ]
Inside Wanmin Restaurant, Xiangling's eyes shone brightly as she stared at the Cloud-Piercer spear in the inventory live room. Saliva involuntarily leaked from the corner of her mouth.
Zhongli, who was sitting there tasting his food, suddenly shuddered. He glanced at Xiangling, then silently began eating faster. Even though Venti, sitting next to him, kept winking at him, he just pretended not to see.
[ Genshin Impact - Venti: Uh, Miss Xiangling, I don't think dragon meat tastes very good. ]
Seeing Zhongli playing dead, Venti knew he had to stand up himself. After all, he didn't want his Dvalin to be eaten as meat.
"Miss Xiangling, let me tell you, dragon meat is extremely delicious. Don't listen to Venti's nonsense."
[ Genshin Impact - Venti: … ]
[ Genshin Impact - Raiden Ei: Good job, inventory live room. I've been annoyed by this bard drunkard for a long time. ]
Raiden Ei felt completely refreshed. One had to know that back during the Seven Archons' gatherings, she had been teased quite a bit by Venti, that drunkard.
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Cheng Lixue: Dragon meat? Master, it seems we haven't eaten dragon meat either. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Fu Hua: Is there dragon meat in this world? There are quite a few Honkai Beasts, though. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Cheng Lixue: Honkai Beasts?! ]
…
Cheng Lixue, who was currently training, heard what her master said and couldn't help but recall the appearance of Honkai Beasts. Her eyes lit up, and saliva involuntarily drooled from the corner of her mouth.
"What are you thinking about, you brat?" Just then, Fu Hua suddenly appeared behind Cheng Lixue, slapped the back of her head, and looked at her with a serious face.
"Hehehe, nothing, nothing." Looking at her master in front of her, Cheng Lixue quickly chuckled, indicating she wasn't doing anything.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you brat. Let me tell you, that is absolutely impossible." Fu Hua glared fiercely at Cheng Lixue, then became very helpless. Ever since this disciple of hers was resurrected, she didn't know if it was the doing of the inventory live room, but she had somehow acquired the trait of a foodie.
…
"Alright, alright. Next, let's play a fan-made video of this craftsman guy."
"Yingxing and Jingyuan racing starskiffs on the Luofu!"
[ Honkai Star Rail - Fu Xuan: Jingyuan, what are you doing? How dare you race starskiffs with a Stellaron Hunter on the Xianzhou? How are you acting as a General? ]
[ Honkai Star Rail - Qingque: For some reason, just seeing this title already makes me want to laugh. ]
