Chapter 233 Farewell
Watching the woman sit there casually admiring her nails, and thinking about what she had just said—if she didn't do as she was told, she'd probably lose her head in the next second.
"I... I'm seeking revenge on that guy, that... that guy who killed her husband and abandoned her child." Tears welled in the boy's eyes as he spoke.
"I will never let her get away with this!" Hearing those four thunderous words—"murdering her husband and abandoning her child"—the woman's eyes widened in surprise.
She then thought she had misheard and looked at the boy in front of her with some disbelief, "Kujavina...who is she to you?"
The boy's words seemed to unlock the gossipy nature within the woman, and the boy, listening to her questions, ultimately gritted his teeth and kept quiet.
A mournful voice cried out, "She...she's my mother!" The boy's words plunged the icebox into silence, leaving only the echo of his sobs.
Upon hearing the words, "She's my mother," the woman sat frozen in her ice chair. When she came to her senses, she asked again:
"How old are you...?" The boy cried and replied, "Eight...eight years old." The woman calculated for a moment. "Eight years old... Clayville is 10 years old this year."
In other words, which came first, Krewi? The woman was also greatly shocked by this news; almost no one among the executives knew who Kujavina's husband was.
Only a very few people knew that she had a biological daughter named Clementine. In the end, to be fair, she sent her to the Hearth House. And now, listening to the boy's words and hearing his earlier statement about killing her husband and abandoning her child, plus the fact that Kugavina was his mother…
The woman couldn't help but let her imagination run wild. "Could it be that Kujavina killed Krevi's father, gave birth to this child outside the marriage, and then killed the child's father as well?"
The boy then sobbed twice more, "Not only that... that guy... he has two other kids outside! And those two kids were ultimately killed because they weren't good-looking."
She killed them all, along with the father of those two children. Those two children were only three years old! Waaaaah! The boy burst into loud sobs as he said this.
The mournful cries were tinged with endless pain and hatred, and seemed to express sorrow for the two three-year-old children. But the woman who heard these words...
Her brain seemed to have shrunk into a ball. "Huh? Two more??" The girl looked at the boy and nodded. She was doubly shocked.
But after a brief moment of surprised silence, the woman suddenly smiled, and a laugh escaped her lips.
The woman couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha, hahahahaha." Her haughty, arrogant laughter echoed within the ice enclosure.
"Hahaha, yeah. So, in other words, she was played by three men, gave birth to four children, and now only two are alive. And your respective fathers..."
But none of them survived. The woman laughed heartily, wiping away tears of laughter as she slowly walked towards the ice shield.
The moment the woman approached the ice cover, the laughter abruptly stopped, and she punched the ice cover with a loud thud.
Cracks began to spread across the entire ice cover, until finally it shattered into countless fragments that reflected the woman's image like mirrors.
As the ice shattered, the woman moved her five fingers, held her left hand across her chest and her right hand up in front of her eyes, and slowly turned around to look at the boy again.
All the laughter from before vanished from the woman's face, replaced by a uniquely aloof and proud expression. She slowly walked up to the boy.
Looking down at the boy, he said, "Little thing, with your current strength, revenge is nothing but a pipe dream. Moreover, without knowing the enemy's true strength..."
"To launch an attack so rashly would be extremely reckless." As the woman finished speaking, she lowered her hand from in front of her, gently pinched the boy's chin, and lifted his head.
"In my opinion, you should give up the idea of revenge as soon as possible. You can't do it. In the end, you'll just be throwing your life away for nothing."
Rather than going further down the path of revenge and ultimately dying a tragic death at the hands of one's enemy, it would be better to…” The woman’s voice carried a hint of coldness.
"Why don't I end your life right now, sister, and free you from this suffering? It'll only take a blink of an eye."
"I assure you, you won't feel any pain. Just a light touch." As he spoke, frost began to form on the boy's chin.
"You will turn into an ice sculpture without pain or feeling, just like those monsters around you, and eventually shatter into pieces. Now, wipe away your useless tears."
"Smile for your sister. I can let you leave this world without any pain, how about it?"
The boy listened to these words, but his will remained as firm as a rock. "Stop joking," the boy shouted in a clear voice, "I don't want to die like this!"
I will become stronger than I am now, stronger still, until I am the strongest! I will personally kill that bastard. With his blood, I will offer a sacrifice at my father's grave!
Seeing the burning, fiery will in the boy's eyes that seemed capable of incinerating everything in the world, the woman gazed at him for a short while before slowly lowering her hand.
A knowing smile played on his lips as he slowly turned and walked away. "Well then, you'd better keep your word. I look forward to the day you become stronger."
As the woman uttered these final words, her figure receded into the distance, and the ice that had been controlling the boy's hands and legs shattered instantly, leaving a trail of ice on the ground.
As the ice shattered, the boy noticed something strange: the broken ice shards arranged themselves into the shape of a sword, seemingly hinting at something.
Finally, the ice in this small area at the center of the eastern foothills of Mount Munsos began to melt gradually, until the entire Mount Munsos returned to its original state.
There was absolutely no trace of ice that had ever existed; only melted water dripping slowly from the branches, and the surrounding monsters that, though thawed, had long since died from the freezing process.
The next morning, Clementine, Lily, Perovelli, and Tian Yaochen, along with several others, arrived outside the Hearth House to bid farewell to Qiuhe.
"Leyi, please be careful on your trip, and come back soon. Peipei and I will miss you." "Yes, Leyi, Leyi, we'll be waiting for you to come back!"
"Could you bring me back some local specialties from Liyue? After all, you have to pass through Liyue to get to Mondstadt. With your skills, bringing back something should be a piece of cake."
"Lei, take these. You left in such a hurry last time, we didn't have time to prepare anything for you." Lily handed Qiuhe a bag of food.
"You were gone for so long, you must have had a tough time, sleeping outdoors and enduring all kinds of hardships. No matter what, make sure you eat well."
"Lei Yi. You must come back safely." After saying this, everyone hugged Qiu He in their final farewell. Following the embrace, Qiu He left with his last words.
"Don't worry, everyone. No matter what, I will definitely come back safe and sound," Qiuhe said, then gently kissed Clementine and Peruvier on the cheek.
"After all, my two most beloved girls are still here. No matter what, I won't let myself get even the slightest bit damaged." Clay listened...
She blushed slightly and slowly lowered her head. "Oh, right, Clay, could you please help me comfort Senna? I can't take her back to commemorate my mother."
It's my fault as an older brother. But... she's my only family. I can't let her risk even the slightest danger to go to a dangerous place with me.
Upon hearing this, Clay nodded, and after bidding farewell to the others, Qiuhe headed towards Momang Palace. On the way to Momang Palace...
Akikawa noticed that there were very few people coming and going on Fontaine Street; there were only a handful of ordinary people moving around. Not understanding why, Akikawa didn't think much of it.
It wasn't until I arrived at Mo Mang Palace that I realized there were very few people there; only one or two people were still reading books by the chairs in the administration office.
Sedna, who was at the control station, was filling out something like a register for a citizen. As the citizen turned and left, Sedna saw Akikawa walking towards them.
"Oh, it's Qiuhe. May I ask what brings you to Momang Palace?" Qiuhe asked in return, "I'd like to see Funina. I have something I'd like to discuss with her."
There aren't many people at Mo Mang Palace and Fontaine today. Is it some kind of festival? "A festival? No, it isn't."
Everyone went to the Opiclie Opera House, including Lord Water God and Lord Navelette. If Qiuhe wants to find Lord Water God...
You can wait here for a while, or you can go to the Opiz Clay Opera House.”
