After saying that, Ye Zi stopped talking and sat quietly by the carriage, gazing at the scenery along the way.
"Why don't you go and try to persuade her?"
The time machine gave Hao Yun a push, then nodded at Ye Zi.
Hao Yun sighed and didn't go over to talk to Ye Zi.
They don't belong to this world; they'll leave sooner or later. It's better to end it quickly than to suffer for a long time.
As Hao Yun left this world, he was certain that he might never come back.
As a laborer, Hao Yun knew his mission: to collect the world and prevent the main world from collapsing and returning to nothingness.
With the great master Xu around, Hao Yun didn't even have a chance to slack off.
"Hey, you're not going to take advantage of me and then deny everything, are you?"
The time machine looked at Hao Yun with a hint of disdain.
Hao Yun rolled his eyes. "What do you know? We're going to separate sooner or later anyway, so we might as well take this opportunity to completely sever ties."
Chapter 219 Contradiction
In a tense atmosphere, the carriage slowly drove into the town of slime.
Upon entering the town, the group felt as if they had been transported to another world. Although only a few months had passed since they left the starting village, it felt like several years to Hao Yun and the others.
"Let's go book a room at the hotel first."
The five people entered the only hotel in Slime Town and learned that there were two rooms left.
Seeing that it was already late outside, it was too late to go out of town for camping.
"Two rooms, how should we divide them?"
The time machine scratched its head. There were five of them; this room was uninhabitable. They couldn't possibly squeeze four people into one room.
"Squeeze in a bit. Tomorrow the three of us will go to fight the Demon King's army. Two rooms are just right for you."
Hao Yun sighed helplessly and handed a key to Ye Zi.
Back in his room upstairs, Hao Yun made a makeshift bed on the floor, preparing to sleep there that night.
I had just finished tidying up when there was a knock on the door.
The time machine closest to the door opened the door casually.
"Oh, it's Ye Zi. What's up?"
"I'm looking for Hao Yun; I have something I want to say to him."
Ye Zi forced a smile and peeked into the room at Hao Yun.
"Okay, I'll call him for you."
After saying that, the time machine turned to look at Hao Yun, who was lying on the ground pretending to be asleep, walked over to him and kicked him.
"Stop playing dead. They've come knocking on our door. It'd better make things clear."
Hao Yun reluctantly opened his eyes, glared at the time machine, and then got up and walked towards the door.
"Is there something you need?"
Hao Yun casually closed the door and leaned out the second-floor window to admire the night view.
"Let's go for a walk outside."
Ye Zi seemed a little absent-minded, as if she had something on her mind.
The two exchanged a glance, and finally Hao Yun sighed.
Let's go.
After leaving the hotel, the two strolled around the streets.
Even at night, the slime town was still bustling with activity, and the streets closest to the Adventurers' Guild were still teeming with people.
On both sides of the street, vendors are hawking various trinkets from small stalls.
Weaving through the crowd, Hao Yun intentionally or unintentionally stood in front of Ye Zi to prevent her from being bumped into.
After all, there are still quite a few drunks on the streets at this time.
The two remained silent, neither speaking, simply walking slowly, like a young couple taking a stroll after dinner.
Turning a corner, the bustling scene vanished, and there were no more vendors on either side of the street.
Ye Zi stopped and looked up at Hao Yun, speaking first.
"do you like me?"
The atmosphere became heavy, and the faint smile on Hao Yun's face disappeared.
"dislike."
This answer was clearly not what Ye Zi wanted. She bit her lip, seemingly feeling somewhat unwilling.
"If you don't like me, why are you so nice to me?"
At this moment, Hao Yun was like a scumbag, thoroughly implementing the three no's principle: no initiative, no rejection, and no responsibility.
Faced with the silent Hao Yun, Ye Zi suddenly took a step forward and pressed her body against Hao Yun's.
Click!
Ye Zi lowered her head and bit Hao Yun's shoulder, biting with all her might.
Unfortunately, Hao Yun had already awakened some of his abilities by this time, and Ye Zi almost broke a mouthful of silver teeth when he took that bite.
"Why! Why!"
Whether it was a toothache or sadness, Yezi squatted on the ground and began to sob.
Hao Yun, standing in front of her, remained expressionless, showing no sign of offering any comfort.
In a dark corner not far away, the time machine made a clicking sound.
"What a heartless scumbag!"
Sun Wukong, standing next to the time machine, was getting a little impatient.
"You brought me out here just to see this?"
"Otherwise what? You're really boring. Such a big piece of gossip and you're not interested at all. It's a pity that Six-Wa isn't here, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you out."
The Time Machine glared at Sun Wukong with dissatisfaction, reminiscing about the days when the Sixth Brother was around; the two of them were birds of a feather.
"Hmph, I'm going back to rest. You can look at it yourself."
After saying this, Sun Wukong turned and walked back without looking back. He needed to rest well for the night before he had to go to fight the Demon King's army the next day.
"Tch! Who cares? A monkey is a monkey, it has no charm whatsoever."
While the time machine was murmuring, a reversal occurred on the other side for Hao Yun and Ye Zi.
"You're a liar! I know you're not from this world. For so long, I thought I had become one of you, but in your eyes, I'm always an outsider. I hate you!"
The weeping leaves left a few glistening teardrops in the air before disappearing at the end of the street.
The time machine, hiding in the shadows, was startled upon hearing Ye Zi's words.
"Hao Yun! What have you done? What should we do now, bring her back?"
The exposure of one's identity is a matter of great importance, but the time machine that has traveled throughout the empire has long realized that this world is not as simple as it seems.
There are many hidden forces, but because they were in a hurry to find Little King Kong, the Time Machine and the others did not investigate further at the time.
But things are different now. If the identity of someone from another world is exposed, it will probably attract many people with ulterior motives.
"Don't just stand there! Hurry up and bring Ye Zi back. I don't care how you resolve your issues, but our identities absolutely cannot be exposed!"
The Time Machine, who is usually lazy and somewhat dull, now has a gleam in his eyes, full of wisdom.
"good."
Hao Yun responded and chased after Ye Zi in the direction she had left.
Ye Zi, who had left in tears, was now squatting in front of an empty alley, sobbing bitterly.
"Liars, they're all liars!"
Whether it was Hao Yun or the others in the team, they all broke Ye Zi's heart.
She wasn't stupid. Having spent so much time with Hao Yun and his friends, and knowing that they never hid their conversations from her, she had long since realized that Hao Yun and his group weren't from this world.
Even after discovering this secret, Ye Zi didn't reveal it. She felt that Hao Yun and the others recognized her as a teammate.
But to her surprise, the appearance of Little King Kong completely shattered her illusions. It turned out that she was just a dispensable native in this team.
"Hello, I am Giovanni. May I come with you?"
The speaker was a blond young man who elegantly reached out to Ye Zi and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.
Get your filthy hands off me!
Ye Zi slapped the other person's hand away, a hint of anger on her face. What a lecherous scoundrel! He's even trying to take advantage of me.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to wipe away your tears, I didn't mean to offend you."
A hint of apology appeared on Löw's handsome face, as if what he had just said was unintentional.
Ye Zi glanced at Lev, then at the group of soldiers behind him, frowned slightly, and walked away into the distance.
Before Ye Zi could leave, Lev blocked her way.
"Excuse me, the bishop requests your presence. You are also a member of the church, so please follow us to the church."
And Löw's gentle tone was filled with an undeniable air of authority.
"I! Won't! Go!"
Ye Zi was furious and didn't care who invited her; she just wanted to find a quiet place to stay.
