Genshin Impact: My roommate and I became funny Hilichurls

Page 77

A strange breeze, carrying the scent of salty sea air, swept across the square!

The next second, Little White on the wooden stake vanished into thin air!

"What happened?! Where is she?! Where did the witch go?!"

Linda's smile froze on her face, then she let out a furious scream!

"what--!!"

Suddenly, a guard beside them let out a shrill scream! To everyone's horror, a non-human arm covered with blue patterns and sharp claws emerged from the shadows like a ghost and pierced through his chest in an instant!

When the arm was pulled back, a heart that was still beating slightly was tightly clenched in its claws!

Qingyu's figure appeared like a gust of wind. He casually crushed the heart, shook off the blood, and held Xiaobai, whom he had just rescued from the wooden stake and who was still in a completely dazed state, firmly in his other hand.

He gently placed Xiaobai in a safe corner, then drew the short knife from his waist, its blade gleaming with an eerie green light in the firelight.

"You...what kind of monster are you!"

Linda retreated in terror, her voice trembling.

Qingyu's voice was icy cold as he approached Linda, who was slumped on the ground, step by step, drops of blood from his dagger falling to the ground.

"We are not monsters... It is you who are the real monsters who would burn a child for your own selfish desires and fears!"

"Quickly! Kill him! Kill this monster!"

Linda screamed hysterically at the guards around her.

But when she turned her head, she discovered in despair that in just a few breaths, the guards and radical villagers in the square had already fallen to the ground!

Zhang Chu carried his giant hammer, crackling with violent lightning, its head covered in red and white substances. He scanned the survivors expressionlessly, his eyes looking at them as if they were ants.

Gu Qian's enormous figure was like a demon god descending to earth. He casually lifted a guard who tried to attack him like a chick, and then easily crushed his head, making a tooth-grinding sound of bones cracking.

He cracked his thick fingers, making a snapping sound, and fixed his gaze on Linda.

"Don't you really like 'extreme punishment'?"

Qingyu's voice pulled Linda back to reality. He suddenly raised his foot and stomped down hard!

A teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking was heard!

"Ah—! My leg!"

Linda let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered!

Without any mercy, Qingyu grabbed the screaming Linda as if she were a bag of garbage, and with a flick of her arm, threw her precisely into the pile of firewood that she had originally prepared for Xiaobai, which was already on fire!

"No! No! Help! Ah—!!"

Linda's screams were instantly swallowed by the flames. She struggled and rolled wildly in the fire, eventually turning into a twisted, burning ball of fire, and gradually stopped moving.

The three watched coldly as the flames completely consumed the evil.

Then, their gazes all turned to Xiaobai, who was pale as a sheet, in the corner and was trying to sneak away in the chaos.

Xiao Bai's body stiffened instantly. She felt those three gazes, which seemed almost tangible, filled with an indescribable sense of oppression.

She closed her eyes in despair, having already thought of a hundred ways she could die.

Just then, Er Kang led Miss Perfect into the square.

When Xiaobai saw the perfectly fine Miss Perfect with anxious tear stains on her face, the cold mask she had been forcibly maintaining instantly collapsed!

"Xiaomei! Why did you come back! You idiot!"

Xiao Bai shouted anxiously and angrily, her voice trembling with tears.

"Xiao Bai! You big liar!"

Miss Perfect cried out and rushed over, hugging Little White tightly.

"I will never believe you again! Never again!"

Xiaobai froze for a moment, feeling the real warmth and trembling in her arms. Her taut nerves finally snapped, and she hugged Miss Perfect back tightly, tears silently streaming down her face.

After a long while, Miss Perfect finally released Little White, turned to the group of four, and bowed deeply: "Thank you! Thank you for saving Little White!"

"No need to thank you."

Erkang waved his hand, his tone returning to its usual playful tone.

“We told you, you will also have to pay the price.”

These words were like a thunderclap, instantly causing Xiaobai's expression to change drastically!

"What?! Xiaomei! What price did you agree to?!"

Xiao Bai grabbed Miss Perfect's shoulder in alarm and pressed her for an answer.

"I...I don't know..."

Miss Perfect shook her head blankly.

"You incredibly stupid idiot!"

Xiao Bai was both angry and anxious. She pulled Miss Perfect behind her and used her petite body to shield her. Despite trembling with fear, she still stubbornly shouted at the group of four, "Don't touch her! Whatever the price, come at me!"

Miss Perfection was anxious to pull her back.

"Oh? You said it yourself~"

The four exchanged a glance, their faces simultaneously revealing extremely malicious smiles, and they drawled out their words.

"No! Please! Don't hurt Xiaobai!"

Miss Perfect was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes again.

At this tense moment—

Qingyu's figure flickered like a gentle breeze, disappearing from the spot in an instant and then reappearing just as quickly.

He now held a strangely shaped camera, and Xiaobai and Miss Perfect's poses...

Xiaobai then carried the perfect young lady in a perfectly executed princess carry, who instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck because she was suddenly being lifted up. She was wearing a beautiful princess dress and a flower wreath on her head!

"Perfect! Click!"

Qingyu pressed the shutter button triumphantly, and an instant photo was produced.

Holding the photo, he and Zhang Chu, Er Kang, and Gu Qian, who had gathered around, began to comment with great interest: "Tsk tsk, look at the composition! The lighting! The expressions! Absolutely amazing!"

noob:"……"

She stiffly and carefully put Miss Perfect down, her expression changing from one of resignation to utter despair and utter bewilderment.

"This...is...the price?"

She felt like she had just made a complete clown with her tragic declaration of sacrifice.

Miss Perfect blushed deeply, lowered her head, and twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers, not daring to look at Xiaobai at all.

"Well, we've gotten the 'reward' we wanted. Here, take this!"

Zhang Chu tossed a chess piece, carved with the image of a beautiful blue-haired girl, to Xiaobai as if it were a candy.

Xiao Bai instinctively caught the chess piece; it felt warm to the touch and contained a peculiar power.

"If you encounter danger, activate her with your mind!"

Gu Qian added in a deep, muffled voice, like muffled thunder.

Goodbye, Miss 'Perfect'! And Miss 'End'!

Er Kang waved vigorously at the two of them with a grin.

A huge, complex teleportation magic circle lit up beneath the feet of the four.

"Wait! The price you're talking about... is it just a photograph?"

Xiao Bai couldn't help but blush and shout, her feelings extremely complicated.

The four of them exchanged a glance, and then suddenly burst into a hearty (even a little silly) laugh:

"Of course not! The real price you paid, what we truly want..."

Er Kang's voice came through the light of the magic circle, carrying an unprecedented earnestness and warmth:

"It's just... a truly 'perfect' ending to your story!"

With a flash of light, the four-person group vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a messy square and two girls staring at each other, as if from another world.

Xiaobai clutched the chess piece and the photo tightly, staring blankly at the spot where the four had disappeared. After a long while, she suddenly turned around and hugged Miss Perfect tightly, her voice choked with emotion: "Thank goodness... Silly Xiaomei... We're all still alive..."

Miss Perfect didn't say anything, she just smiled, hugged her tightly, and gently patted her back.

It took them a while to calm down from their excitement.

Looking at the burned ruins and the desolate, empty village around him, Xiaobai sighed, "Now it's all over...we're going to go hungry..."

"How about...we try that one?"

Miss Perfection pointed to the chess piece in Xiaobai's hand, her eyes filled with curiosity and a glimmer of hope.

"...Okay, I'll give it a try."

Xiaobai took a deep breath, concentrated, and tried to convey his thoughts to the chess piece named "Rimuru Tempest".

The chess pieces were slightly warm, emitting a soft blue light.

a week later.

Inside the newly built royal palace of the Demon Kingdom Federation, filled with an otherworldly style.

Xiao Bai and Miss Perfect, dressed in gorgeous and exquisite clothes, with a hint of daze and disbelief on their faces, accepted the monsters' respectful title of "Your Highness".

Meanwhile, the instigator, the great Demon Lord (tentative name) Rimuru, in his most original blue slime form, nestled contentedly and relaxed in the soft, warm embrace of the Perfect Lady, making comfortable "plop plop" sounds, as if he had found the most perfect cushion in the world.

(Rimuru: (:з」∠) Ah~ Being a mascot demon king who doesn't have to worry about anything, and having cute girls as body pillows, this transmigration bonus is just too good!)

Looking at the harmonious (?) scene before her, and then at the photo in her hand that recorded the "price" paid by the four of them, Xiaobai finally smiled helplessly and took Miss Perfect's hand.

No matter what lies ahead, at least for now, they are together and have a new and hopeful beginning.

Perhaps this is the "perfect" story that those four strange "Hilichurls" were talking about.
