Chapter 136: This Miserable Wailing Pierces the Heavens
Thud—!
The poor little Elysia, who had originally been safely hiding far in the rear, was suddenly hoisted up by a force from behind. That familiar sensation instantly triggered terrifying memories in her heart. She didn't even need to turn around to know exactly who had come!
To prevent her own bottom from suffering, she immediately began flailing her limbs and struggling to twist free. Even the little megaphone she had just been holding in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"Wait, I can explain, I can explain!!!"
"That big monster clearly just suddenly emerged from that Arbor! It must be that so-called Stellaron affecting the dead Arbor on the Xianzhou, causing this big piece of wood to come back to life and throwing the Xianzhou into chaos! It absolutely has nothing to do with me!"
Little Elysia had never felt her little brain work so well, so clearly before. Even though she had never seriously paid attention to these so-called schemes and plots, the clues just naturally pieced themselves together in her mind.
Maybe... this is what it feels like to be a genius?
"Is that so? Then could you also tell me why you suddenly left Belobog, why you appeared on the Xianzhou Luofu, and why you didn't even tell me a single word?"
Little Elysia had just started feeling like she'd suddenly gotten a lot smarter, but Kevin's next three questions very successfully managed to crash her little brain again.
Kevin's icy expression and completely flat tone when questioning someone could really bring immense psychological pressure. Even though little Elysia knew deep down that he was always like this no matter the situation, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
"This, I, that..."
Since she dared to sneak out, little Elysia had definitely considered one very important question—how exactly was she going to explain things to her own family head?
But Kevin's sudden ambush threw her completely off balance. The lines she had painstakingly prepared earlier turned into a jumbled mess in her head, stubbornly refusing to form any coherent words.
This was another downside of taking on a child's form!
Although she had indeed become super-duper cute, and could even use her petite size to casually get close to those girls and even get her head patted in return... her entire way of thinking had also completely become more childlike, and she simply couldn't switch back!
Meanwhile, Kevin's expression as he looked at little Elysia grew increasingly dark—if it weren't for worrying about this troublemaker, why would he have so quickly abandoned the leisurely life on Belobog and rushed straight to the Xianzhou Alliance?
Along the way, forget about enemies like the Stellaron Hunters; just the various troubles alone gave him an immense headache. After all, many problems weren't things he could solve just because he wanted to.
But when he finally managed to find this troublemaker amidst the wreckage of the Artisanship Commission, he discovered she was holding a megaphone slightly larger than her own head, looking all excited as if she wanted to shout something to the people fighting in the arena.
He had worked so hard and endured so much, and yet not only was this troublemaker squatting in such a dangerous place, she was also having fun?
Probably, anyone encountering this situation would find it hard to keep their temper in check, right?
"I'm sorry! I was wrong! I'll never do this again next time!"
Shivering all over and sensing that the temperature around her was getting a bit off, little Elysia immediately realized the severity of the situation and promptly chose to apologize and admit defeat without hesitation.
Hua had a saying that was very apt—as long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
As long as she could protect her little bottom this time, what did it matter if she was kept under watch for a few days? Sooner or later, she would still find an opportunity to sneak out and have secret rendezvous with other cute girls!
It's just that little Elysia didn't know yet that imagination is usually beautiful, while reality is often harsh.
"If apologies alone were useful... with your personality, wouldn't you just cause even bigger trouble next time?"
Little Elysia had calculated everything, but she seemed to have forgotten that Kevin beside her was practically one of the people in this universe who understood her best—what use were these little tricks of hers?
Who could imagine how brutal the scene that followed would be... Even though there were quite a few people watching in the arena, Kevin didn't conceal his actions as he disciplined little Elysia in the slightest, resembling nothing less than a cold and merciless execution machine.
But the most crucial point wasn't that. It was little Elysia's megaphone that had just fallen on the ground. She had just turned it on and hadn't had time to shout anything before being unceremoniously yanked up by the cold and ruthless Kevin...
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll never run off again... Ouch!"
"I'll definitely tell you first if anything happens next time, I won't secretly hide it... Ouch!!"
"I, I, I... Ouch!!!"
"Wah wah wah..."
The sound was so pitiful and mournful. The miserable cries, amplified by the megaphone, accurately reached the ears of everyone in the square. Even the Abundant Ebon Deer, which had just recovered from its injuries and was preparing to launch another attack, was utterly bewildered.
It possessed considerable intelligence, that was true. But with its terrifying regenerative abilities, it was never troubled by pain, and couldn't understand what could possibly make humans cry.
Yet it still instinctively glanced back at its own tail, which wasn't protected by outer armor, falling into slight contemplation.
"..."
If even such a monster reacted like this, needless to say the others in the square.
"Y-Yang, Uncle Yang... I suddenly feel a bit scared, what should I do?" Watching this utterly terrifying scene, March 7th's eyes were wide open. She could only instinctively shrink behind Welt's back.
To be honest, even when that Abundant Ebon Deer's attack earlier almost skewered her through, the fear she felt then couldn't compare at all to what she felt right now.
What if... what if she accidentally caused some big trouble one day... and then got targeted too?!!!
March 7th really wanted to comfort herself by saying she wasn't a child anymore; even if she made a mistake and got punished, it wouldn't be in this form. But she just couldn't stop feeling that chill in her heart.
If Uncle Yang was the gentle type of parent who seemed like he would softly counsel a child... then this was clearly the violent type who would pull out his belt without a second thought!
The very, very, very very scary kind!
