N-A-A Chapter 705: I really won’t attract any scammers
Chapter 705: I really won’t attract any scammers
——Teyvat
In Liyue, there is a "giant sacrificial island".
To be precise, it was on the shell of a fairy sea turtle named Xuanwu. Everyone was about to pass Xuanwu to the Rainbow Mirage.
"Just sing a song for me, a nice one."
This is the sacrificial mission issued by Xuanwu to Ying and his group.
Only after completing the sacrificial mission can Xuanwu open the passage to the Rainbow Mirage. This is the order Jun Bai gave to Xuanwu.
Although the channel is in Xuanwu's hands, whether it is opened or not depends entirely on Xuanwu's subjective judgment.
So theoretically, Xuanwu could let Ying and his group in directly, after all, Ying and his group had obtained Guizhong's permission.
But Xuanwu still said he wanted to go through the motions.
Probably because of the idea of "I'd rather do more than do it wrong".
So the problem facing Ying and her group now is that before entering the Rainbow Mirage, they have to sing for Xuanwu.
Good news, Xuanwu is very honest.
Bad news, I'm a bit too honest.
[Singing...will attract some liar, right?]
I can still vividly remember the scene in Keqing's legendary quest where the protagonist opened her mouth and the Glazed Lily transformed into a Liar Flower.
【Classics are passed down through the ages. 】
Our protagonist sang that song just once, and it's still being sung today. It's truly a happy ending for everyone.
(The author has previously researched that there is no plot in this book where the main plot involves singing a song to deceive the flower.)
(So I put that part in Keqing's legendary quest.)
"Singing...do I have to sing?"
Ying asked a little guiltily.
Because of the last time she sang "Cheating Flower", Ying still has some psychological trauma about singing.
Xuanwu said: "A sacrifice should be performed in the proper manner. Singing is the simplest task in all the sacrifice procedures."
Paimon grumbled, "So your normal sacrificial mission doesn't really involve completing a sacrifice."
Xuanwu asked in return: "What else?"
Iya muttered to himself: "Aiya..."
(He's such a dedicated senior. Now I understand why my brother gave him this kind of work.)
Although Xuanwu is not good at adapting, it must be said that his personality is indeed suitable for a job like guarding the passage.
"Iya-chan, is now the time to give compliments?"
Jun Xinwu came over and patted her child on the head and said, "The problem now is, isn't it about completing the sacrificial mission for this True Lord?"
Ying, Paimon, and Iya nodded.
Then who will sing and which song.
People don't know what to do about these issues.
It doesn’t really matter which song is sung. After all, Xuanwu also said that as long as the song sounds good, the key lies in who sings it.
Everyone’s first choice is actually Jun Xinwu.
After all, she is beautiful and has a sweet voice. Even if she has not learned any music-related knowledge, her singing will definitely sound good even if it is not in tune.
However, Jun Xinwu refused.
"I offered sacrifices to Senior Xuanwu last time, so my sacrifices don't count. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xuanwu."
Ying and the other two expressed their doubts, and then went to ask Xuanwu.
After Xuanwu looked at Jun Xinwu again, he said bluntly that people who had participated in the sacrifice could not perform the sacrifice again.
This is also the rule set by the Marshal.
Because the three of them had their backs to Jun Xinwu, they were unable to see Jun Xinwu's warning gesture of clenching her fist towards Xuanwu.
【Xuanwu: From the Heart.jpg】
[It seems Sister Wu is quite good at fighting, even Xuanwu has to give her face.]
[As a direct descendant of the Marshal, and possessing a celestial beast transformed from the Marshal's power as a dependent, I imagine he is no worse than an immortal.]
【By the way, is this rule true? 】
Although there is an element of intimidation, it feels like there are indeed rules in place to prevent people from saying anything random.
Judging from Xuanwu's previous characterization, it's highly likely that this rule actually exists, but it seems like it can be flexed.
Since Jun Xin can't dance.
Then you can only choose from Ying, Iya and Paimon.
First, rule out Iya.
When He sang, He could only make the sounds of two words.
The combination of these two words can make people hear different meanings in the lyrics, but it still cannot change the fact that there are only two words in the lyrics.
That is Ying and Paimon.
But Ying looked hesitant.
Then he talked about his dark history of singing.
Paimon and Yiya both knew about this, but Jun Xinwu didn't. She immediately covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud:
"Singing to Liuli Lily turned out to be a lie..."
"Ha ha……"
"I'm really embarrassed that singing brought out the scammers."
Ying said expressionlessly, "Anyway, this is the situation. I still have some trauma about singing."
After laughing, Jun Xinwu comforted her, "Don't worry, we are not singing for Liuli Lily now, we are singing for Xuanwu."
"Are you worried that your song will make Xuanwu go berserk?"
Perhaps because she really had a trauma, or perhaps because she wanted to retaliate against Jun Xinwu's ridicule, Ying firmly refused to let herself sing.
Just like that, everyone's eyes fell on Paimon.
"You want...you want me to come?"
Paimon didn't look confident at all.
After all, she had never sung before.
Paimon looked at everyone's expectant eyes and nodded reluctantly. "Then... I'll give it a try."
"But which song shall I sing?"
Without waiting for Ying to speak, Jun Xinwu answered directly:
"The Goddess Splits the View!"
(Player perspective dialogue options:)
1. I agree.
(2. Is it hellish difficulty from the start?)
(3. How about a simpler song?)
"I agree."
Ying, who originally had her own ideas, nodded immediately after hearing Jun Xinwu's idea.
The look he gave Paimon was full of encouragement.
[Paimon: "The Goddess Splits the View"? Who? Me?]
[Paimon's expression is as if to say: I think you are trying to embarrass me, Fat Tiger~]
[Although I am a little worried that it will destroy the image of "The Goddess Splits the View" in my mind, but I unexpectedly want to listen to it~]
"Agree to something else!"
Paimeng Xukong stomped his feet and said, "I haven't learned any opera, so how can I sing "The Goddess Splits the View"? You might as well let me sing a nursery rhyme!"
Jun Xinwu smiled and said, "Then Paimeng will sing a nursery rhyme."
Ying added to Paimeng's confusion:
"Will a nursery rhyme work? Or maybe the Goddess Chop..."
"I told you I wouldn't!"
Paimon flew over and played with Ying.
After discussion, it was finally decided that Paimon should sing nursery rhymes.
She took a deep breath, cleared her throat, and began to sing.
At the beginning, her voice was trembling and the pitch was not standard. The expressions on everyone's faces were hard to describe.
There's no way to complete the sacrifice if this goes on.
Xuanwu, who had been listening, said in his heart.
Paimon was so nervous that he was in a very bad state.
On the side, Yiya saw this scene, his eyes flickered, and then he sang: "ow..."
Iya can't speak well, but he can still make simple articulations, so he can help with the accompaniment.
Paimon and the two people beside him looked at Iga in surprise.
The song almost broke off.
"Err, eh, eh, eh..."
(Hurry up and continue singing.)
Iya reminded.
Paimon then continued singing and looked at Iya with gratitude.
"You're so gentle, Iya-chan."
Jun Xinwu smiled and looked at Yiya, then opened her red lips and sang in the same voice: "ow..."
She imitated Iya and accompanied Paimon.
Ying on the side nodded, agreeing with what Jun Xinwu said.
Then he took out the harp from his backpack and started playing along with the singing and accompaniment of the three people.
With the accompaniment of everyone, the originally nervous Paimon relaxed.
As she sang, she seemed to find the feeling, her voice gradually stabilized, and unexpectedly had a bit of charm.
Xuanwu listened with great interest. The atmosphere around them also became more relaxed, and everyone swayed gently to the rhythm.
After the song was over, everyone stopped. Paimon looked at Xuanwu nervously, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Well, you sang well."
Xuanwu nodded with satisfaction, and his huge body moved on the sea.
Along with the appearance of a strange reflection on the sea surface, the passage leading to the rainbow mirage slowly opened.
"Now, you can go in."
Ying and others cheered excitedly.
Paimon also breathed a sigh of relief, a smug smile on his face: "See, as long as I take action, there will be no problem!"
Everyone smiled slightly, and tacitly did not expose the fact that Paimon was nervous when he first started singing.
