Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 249 The Coming Undercurrent

"They had a great time, didn't they?"

Seeing Bubulu and others playing snowballs, Fang Yixing came to Yiyin at some point.

"They are still children after all. Even after completing several difficult tasks, they still maintain the innocence... and cruelty unique to children." Fang Yixing said half-jokingly.

"Fang Yixing, you look like a child too. What qualifications do you have to criticize us?"

Yi Yin said in a somewhat annoyed tone, "Also, why are you able to get up so early? Don't you need to rest?"

"Rest and all that, isn't that a sin? At least until I've completely finished him off, I can't sleep freely without any psychological burden."

"here we go again……"

Yi Yin sighed inwardly that something was wrong, and then stopped expressing any opinions. Instead, he continued to watch the snowball fight between Bubulu and the others.

Just as Yiyin was gradually beginning to appreciate it, a pair of hands suddenly covered his eyes without warning.

"Uh... Fang Yixing, stop it. You're so old and still playing such childish tricks."

"not me."

Fang Yixing's voice seemed to come from far away.

No?

Yi Yin was thinking quickly, if not Fang Yixing, who else would be so childlike?

Let's use the process of elimination. First, we can eliminate John and Fanny, because Yiyin didn't see them when he came out, so they must be playing other games.

So will it be the Four Goddesses?

Analyzing each one individually, White Tiger and Black Tortoise were injured and might not even be able to stand. Suzaku couldn't reach his eyes, and Azure Dragon wouldn't do that either. ...No, it would be more terrifying if Azure Dragon actually did that.

According to the deductive reasoning method, if we eliminate all the impossible, the most unlikely one is also the answer.

The answer is already there.

“…Huangquan.”

"bingo!"

After hearing the correct answer, Huang Quan laughed wickedly and then released his hand that was covering Yiyin's eyes.

"It seems you are smarter than your sister."

"Why, you also covered Suo'er's eyes?" Yi Yin asked unhappily, "I say, you didn't come here just to cover my eyes, did you? Or did you regret being rescued by Suo'er last time and want to die again?"

"That depends on whether you have the ability - but I have no intention of fighting. I've already told Bruno's son that I'm really just here for vacation."

"Vacation?"

Hearing Huang Quan's words, Yi Yin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I didn't understand it at first, but after last night, I started to understand a little. Huang Quan, you booked the Tianzihao Hotel so that Albert could hide there, right?"

"What?! You said Albert is here?"

After hearing Yi Yin's words, Fang Yixing seemed very impatient. He wished he could tear Albert apart with his bare hands right now.

Huang Quan waved his hand, signaling them to stay calm.

"Young people shouldn't be too impulsive. Look at how calm I, an old veteran, am. I've never lost my temper."

"I'm just bored and wanted to chat with you guys. Alas, back in my time, it wasn't often I could play in the snow without any worries."

"……what do you want to say in the end?"

Yi Yin could no longer bear it. "If you really have nothing to do, why don't you go sweep the snow in front of your door?"

"Tsk. You really have no patience at all. Well, I'll be frank. This place, Huangquan Village—or the hot spring village, is my hometown."

"Ah? Are we from the same hometown?" Fang Yixing's eyes almost popped out.

"You could say that. When I left for Wilshire Base to study, it was still called Huangquan Village. Later, Her Majesty the Queen selected me to join Ouroboros, and I decided to abandon my old name, which in turn abandoned my past life. From then on, I named myself Huangquan after my hometown."

When Huang Quan recalled the past, his eyes revealed a hint of complicated emotions.

"Later, with the movement of the Blue Planet's crust, hot springs were inexplicably discovered in Huangquan Village, and since then, the place has been renamed Wenquan Township. Of course, I later learned this from Rotten Tomatoes Daily."

"Did you know that the hot springs village was destroyed by Albert a long time ago? He used alchemy to restore the hot springs village to its original appearance in order to find a stable way to reverse his daughter's insect transformation!"

Seeing that Fang Yixing was getting more and more excited, Yi Yin held him down in time to prevent him from doing anything extreme.

Huang Quan was able to get a lot of information out of Fang Yixing just by talking casually. It seems that he does have some tricks up his sleeve.

"Hehe, of course I knew about that kind of thing a long time ago - but so what? I'm too lazy to think about the past, and I don't have any feelings for this shabby place. If I want, I can create thousands of villages like this."

"But even if there are more villages, it is no longer the one we used to live in," said Fang Yixing.

"...Tsk. Whatever you think is your business, but I've got my point across. Tonight is the day the Rejuvenating Hot Springs are open to the public, and there should be a lot of tourists coming. I think you guys know what to do, right? Hahahaha..."

After saying that, Huang Quan walked away with a smile. It was hard to guess what was going on in his mind.

"This guy is really infuriating."

Fang Yixing asked angrily, "Yi Yin, who is this guy? Why is he so arrogant?"

"He is Huang Quan, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ouroboros, and also a colleague of Albert."

After Yi Yin briefly introduced Huang Quan's identity, he asked Fang Yixing, "Fang Yixing, please tell Bubulu and the others that the Rejuvenation Hot Spring Water is open tonight. I'll go inform the others. If Huang Quan isn't lying, there's bound to be a big battle tonight."

Fang Yixing nodded repeatedly. He had been hiding in the hot spring village for many days just waiting for this moment to come.

After saying this, Yiyin quickly rushed to the guest room of the four goddesses, wanting to share this information with them.

.

After listening to Yiyin's story, Qinglong shook his head helplessly.

Time was too tight. White Tiger and Black Tortoise weren't fully recovered yet, so they couldn't be of any use. Suzaku's Quail Fire wouldn't be back to peak condition for a while either. As for Azure Dragon, the only one capable of fighting, she still had to protect them to prevent a surprise attack at the last minute.

What a pity! Last night was clearly a great opportunity, but now that I missed it, there’s nothing I can say anymore.

"It seems that our Four Gods Base is destined to miss this mission."

Qinglong smiled and patted Yiyin's head. "From now on, it all depends on you. Let's fight together, including our share."
