Chapter 256 No repayment for life-saving grace

Chapter 256 No repayment for life-saving grace

Zhen gently patted Ying's back, while observing the other people around him.

Although this was the first time she saw the transformed Yae Shen Zi, she could recognize that this was the pink little fox who smiled and waved to her.

Yae Shinko also came back to his senses from his shock and raised his hand in response in disbelief.

Finally, his gaze fell on Liu Bai.

Thinking of the scene just now, her face couldn't help but turn red again for a moment.

"Why is Mr. Liu Bai here? And I remember that I should have been dead..."

After calming down a little, Zhen began to ask Liu Bai.

"Even the Son of God has grown up... Have I been dead for some time? Did you wake me up?"

"But that's not right. I can feel the state of my body. I'm not in the state of a residual soul now. Strange..."

Shinichi was a little confused for a moment, or rather, she tried to think of other possibilities, because her rationality made her not dare to think directly that she had been resurrected.

"Sister, it has been five hundred years since you left for Kanreya. I am so glad you are back."

Ying then slightly raised his head from Zhen's arms and looked at her as she explained, but he was somewhat reluctant to separate from her, as if he was worried that all this was just a dream.

"Five hundred years..."

From Ying's words, Zhen finally understood the current time and confirmed the possibility that he had not dared to guess at the first time.

But she knew that among the people present, Ying and Yae Shinko definitely did not have such ability.

Thinking of this, Zhen turned around and looked at Liu Bai.

"I understand. I'm very sorry Mr. Liu Bai. Ying's willfulness must be very distressing to you."

He said to Liu Bai with deep apology.

"Wait... Sister, do you know him?"

Zhen's apologetic words made Ying a little confused.

"Yeah, Sister God of Cooking, do you know me?"

Liu Bai also scratched his head. He still didn't understand why Zhen knew his name.

"Hmm? Mr. Liu Bai, have you forgotten that not long ago... well, I mean five hundred years ago, before the Kanreya catastrophe."

"You traveled between Inazuma and Liyue as a merchant, but you brought us a lot of new things that opened our eyes."

"Oh, by the way, you used a kind of tobacco called Hanako and Saigū to exchange for a month's custody of Shenzi, but you almost rubbed her hair bald."

Zhen found that Liu Bai seemed to have no memory, so he explained in detail what happened. At the end, he couldn't help but cover his mouth with his sleeves and chuckled.

Yae Shenzi: "..."

She remembered that the vague shadow that had been haunting her for five hundred years had become concrete...

"So there was such an interesting thing happening..."

Ying, who was extremely excited because he had really returned, slightly raised the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

But she still had some doubts in her mind.

"But why don't I have any impression of him?"

After chuckling, Ying looked at Liu Bai carefully and couldn't help but ask Zhen.

She was sure that the first time she saw Liu Bai was when she was summoned to the Winter Solstice.

"Because you really haven't seen him. Mr. Liu Bai sold things in Inazuma for a month and then left. It just so happened that you were in seclusion at that time to improve your martial arts."

Zhen explained the situation to Ying.

"I see……"

Ying nodded.

"Well, I'd like to ask Sister Goddess of Cooking, what were I selling at the time?"

Liu Bai thought about it for a while and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

It was not the first time he knew that he was a traveling businessman five hundred years ago, but apart from the mobile phone that Zhongli took out, he really had no idea what he had sold.

And those things seem to be produced by the system.

"You forgot it after only five hundred years? You must have experienced wear and tear."

After hearing Liu Bai's question, Zhen subconsciously came to this conclusion.

Ying looked at Liu Bai and thought that this could explain Liu Bai's unconventional thinking.

"As for the goods you sold at the time, in addition to some specialties from various countries, there were also tobacco, alcohol, and some utensils that I had never seen before."

"One of the items is called a mobile phone. The price is not expensive, but it is limited. You only sold two. I bought them and gave them to Ying and Saigong respectively to facilitate their communication."

Zhen explained to Liu Bai in detail the goods he had sold at the time.

She also put in a lot of effort to get Ying, her sister who mostly only knew how to practice martial arts, to go out and socialize more.

"Oh……"

Liu Bai nodded. It seemed that the mobile phone was still the product he had initially promoted, but he didn't know where the signal came from.

"I remember the cell phone, but after Saigū left, it couldn't be used anymore. I sealed it in the castle tower."

Ying, who was standing by, had some impression of the name and spoke after thinking for a while.

"So even she... Inazuma, you've been really hard at work during this period, Ying."

Shin learned about the situation in Kitsai Palace from Ying's words, and looked at Ying with some heartache.

"Now that you mention it, I did see a glowing cube among the things she left behind, but I buried it under the roots of the sacred cherry blossom."

Yaegamiko recalled and remembered a special object she had found in Narukami Taisha Shrine.

"But then again, the most mysterious person here is Mr. Liu Bai. I guess it was Ying who asked you to revive me, right?"

After answering Liu Bai's question, Zhen finally found an opportunity to ask the question that he was more concerned about.

Even though she already had the answer, she had to ask for confirmation before she could start to repay it.

"Is it me? Didn't I just refuse?"

Liu Bai scratched his head in confusion.

"...?"

"Sister, it's him."

Ying was used to Liu Bai's reaction, and started to explain when he was really confused.

"I knew it, but what price did you pay to resurrect a demon god?"

There was a hint of helplessness on Zhen's face.

Hearing what Zhen said, Ying became embarrassed.

It seemed that she had nothing to pay for the reward, and the theoretically most precious Heart of God had been given to Liu Bai in another transaction.

"You owe me a huge favor this time."

"Mr. Liu Bai, I have no way to repay you for saving my life. It just so happens that my sister has no one in love at the moment, so why not..."

Looking at Ying's reaction, he knew that she definitely couldn't pay the equivalent reward, so Zhen had no choice but to say something helplessly, then suddenly turned around, chuckled, and proposed to Liu Bai in a gentle tone.

"Really... He already has a family..."

When Ying heard Zhenzhen's suggestion, he hurriedly reminded her in a low voice.

However, Liu Bai's attention was not on Ying and Zhen at this time, and he didn't even hear what was said.

[Equipped with the title "Hard-Hearted Gunship".]

"Decepticon! Transform!"

Liu Bai shouted excitedly.

The next moment, under the surprised gazes of Ying and the other three, Liu Bai's body quickly changed and turned into a strangely shaped metal giant beast, which looked neither like a bird nor an insect, with four long swords on its head.

"Oooooh! Take off!"

The next moment, the rotors above his head, like four long swords, began to spin rapidly, and the rotors on the long tail also started to spin to maintain balance. Liu Bai flew straight into the air.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-!

With the naked eye, one could see that the armed helicopter was excitedly pouring pure white sword energy into the air within the consciousness space. Each drop of sword energy was like raindrops, and it was obvious that the sword energy was being used as bullets.

"It seems that he likes this more than giving himself to me..."
