Chapter 006: You Come and I Go
"..."
Sophia's face turned pale, and the light of the magic wand in her hand disappeared in an instant.
"No, it's not..."
"It's you! You didn't protect him. It's your fault—"
"No! I..."
"That's enough! Sofia, stop making excuses - huh..." Leah suppressed her emotions that were about to get out of control, and tried to remain calm as much as possible, saying, "Now, a miracle has happened, and everything can start over again. However, in order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, Sofia, you'd better..."
"I don't want it!!" Sophia shouted uncontrollably, even with tears in her eyes.
Liya gritted her teeth and said, "...Aren't you afraid of repeating the same mistake?"
"I, I won't, I won't, I definitely won't--"
"Are you sure you have the courage to rebel against your family?"
"I have--"
"What if you have the courage? Can you do it?"
"I..."
Sophia was speechless, with only grief on her face.
The corners of Liya's mouth slightly raised, but she quickly returned to her emotionless look, and said indifferently, "Strength is the root of everything. I already have the courage to face everything, even if my family and I will end up facing each other with swords, I have already made up my mind..."
"You can't do that either—"
"I may not be able to do it, but my Xiaobai can."
"noob..."
"As long as I ask Xiaobai to ask the dragon clan to help protect Bin, I think Xiaobai will definitely not refuse. With Xiaobai's help, the dragon clan will definitely have no problem. And with the dragon clan's protection, I think no one will dare to mess with Bin easily in the future, and then I will have enough time to...Sophia, don't look at it, you are not suitable for him, you can't give him safety."
"..."
Sofia was still jumping over Leah and gazing into the magic circle, but her expression gradually changed from self-blame and helplessness to confusion and doubt.
"Sophia——"
"...Liya, your Xiaobai...didn't he also get the memory of the future? That's not right...If he had the memory, he would definitely not get along so harmoniously with Abin..."
Sofia's sudden words made Leah pause slightly, and then she turned around abruptly to look into the magic circle. When she saw Qin Bin and Xiaobai sitting side by side on the grass, talking and laughing, and eating something, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Xiaobai has no memory of the future. You know Xiaobai's personality. He can't hide things, and he can't hide them from me either."
After hearing what Leah said, Sophia gradually calmed down. With a strange look on her face, she moved the icicle under her feet to Leah's side and said.
"Liya, let's not talk about you and me for now. Your Xiaobai seems to be getting along well with Abin... um, very well. Obviously, the relationship between Xiaobai and Abin in the 'future' has always been bad... It's really, weird..."
"..."
Leah subconsciously reached for the hilt of the long sword at her waist, the weapon she had not drawn during the face-to-face battle with Sofia.
But Leah finally put down her hand holding the hilt of the sword and spoke instead.
"This is our business—"
"Let's put Xiaobai's matter aside for now. Liya, since you and I have both received a 'miracle' and started over, do you think that the old woman in the academy and the Elf Queen will be like Abin and Xiaobai? Or will they be like us?"
"...What do you want to say?" There was a rare hint of impatience on Leah's emotionless face.
Sophia rolled her eyes and said, "Liya, you and I are childhood sweethearts. Although we fight more often, we are still friends after all..."
Liya shook her head, "Don't even think about it. I don't have you as a friend, and I will never give Bin to you."
——This damn paralyzed woman...
Sophia raised her eyebrow, but held it in. She smiled and said, "Since you have the upper hand and Abin hasn't obtained the 'miracle', if I continue to be unreasonable, Abin will definitely be disgusted. Even Abin at this time is still very individual."
"So what?" Leah looked at Sofia puzzledly.
Sophia raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a foxy smile, "Liya, are you really confident that you can beat those two? You know, I was fighting them head-on at the beginning, and you were picking up the slack from behind -"
"Shut up."
"Isn't what I said the truth?"
"......" Leah was silent for a moment, but suddenly said, "I want to ask you a question."
"Hmm? You ask." Sophia responded with a smile.
Liya hesitated for a moment before she said, "Did Bin ever encounter a wolf attack before he and you met in the Lost Plains?"
"Eh? Wolves?" Sophia was slightly startled, then frowned. "Abin didn't mention it at the beginning. I remember that Abin was a little dazed by the heat, but he didn't seem to have any signs of being embarrassed after escaping from the wolf pack... You, you're not saying that Abin was attacked by wolves before?! Abin wasn't injured?!"
"Don't get excited." Leah grabbed Sophia who was about to run towards the magic circle and said, "Do you think I will watch him get hurt and do nothing?"
"...That's right." Sophia quickly calmed down, shook off Leah's hand, and looked at Leah, "What do you want to say?"
"One more question for you."
"...You ask."
"When Bin first met you, was he carrying a big bag of things, and had a magic item that allowed you to communicate without any obstacles?"
"No... When Abin and I first met, Abin had nothing in his hands, and there were no magic props that allowed us to communicate without obstacles. Because of the language barrier, there were many misunderstandings between us... You also know that after I brought Abin back to the Magic and Martial Arts Academy, it took Abin almost two months with my help to barely learn the spoken language of the mainland..."
As Sophia spoke, her expression became serious, and even a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes. Finally, she lowered her voice and asked.
"Liya...is this Abin a fake?"
"He gave me the same feeling as Bin, and I thought I would not mistake him. However, there were too many suspicious points about him, and he was very different from what you said when you showed off to me at the beginning. This made me cautious and I didn't even tell him that I would be his wife in the future."
"You have an expressionless face! Can you be any more shameless?! I am Abin's future fiancée! You are just a mistress who seduces a married man!"
"That's not the point. The point is that this Bin seems to be different from what we know."
"Hmph... According to what you said, there are indeed many doubts. However, we were able to get a 'miracle' and start over. It is not completely impossible that there are some deviations in Abin's situation."
"If only..."
"What do you mean?" Sophia raised her eyebrows.
Liya looked at her solemnly, "Not long ago, I went to the 'Dragon Kingdom'. The Dragon King said, 'A great change is about to come, and all living beings in the Eternal Continent will not be able to escape this great change.'"
"...The Dragon King's words seem, um, according to your Xiaobai, to be a little unreliable, right?"
"I gained my memories of the future around this time last year. How about you?"
"You hid it so deeply--" Sophia looked up and down at her almost stubborn enemy in disbelief.
Leah still spoke without any emotion, "I'm asking you a question."
Sophia pursed her lips and said, "Well, I also got the future memory around this time last year. Then what?"
"Xiao Bai occasionally mentioned that the Dragon Emperor had predicted that in the year 2698 of the Eternal Era, which was last year, a major event that would change the world would occur. However, the entire continent was relatively quiet last year, but we were different. Do you think this was referring to us?"
"..."
Seeing Sofia stunned and frowning, Leah spoke again.
"If so, who is the Dragon Emperor talking about now? Or, what is it? Is there any connection with this slightly different Bin?"
"......" Sophia's expression changed a little, and finally she just shook her head and said, "Maybe you think too much. Nothing can be related to Abin. Abin is just an ordinary person..."
"I hope so too. However, we don't have enough evidence to reassure us." Leah looked intently into Sofia's eyes.
"..." Sophia didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"So, Sofia, I plan to keep Bin by my side and observe him for a while. If there is no problem, I will ask Xiaobai for help. As long as Bin is protected by the dragon clan, then in the future..."
"Stop, I can agree with your idea, but you have to promise me one thing."
"I don't need your approval. Bin is mine now."
"You—" Sophia got angry for a moment, but soon smiled and said, "Really? Then I will go find the Elf King and the old woman in the academy in a couple of days."
——This bastard, grumpy woman...
Liya raised her eyebrow, "... Let's have a good discussion. After all, it's all for Bin's safety. How about that?"
"Of course~" Sophia smiled and leaned over to talk to Leah, who looked a little grumpy...
......
While Leah and Sophia suddenly stopped and were talking about something, Qin Bin, who was sitting side by side with Xiaobai in the defensive magic circle, eating snacks and watching the show, couldn't help but speak.
"Sir, why did they stop?"
"Why do I hear regret in your words?"
Xiaobai held the cream soda biscuit in both hands like a little hamster. He took a small bite, then tilted his head and looked at Qin Bin with a little contempt.
"Your Excellency heard it wrong."
"Oh, I didn't realize you were such a bad-tempered fellow. Well, that's how they are. They always fight over trivial matters, and then they get together again soon after that, and then they quarrel and fight again. That's it."
"I think I understand. A pair of happy enemies who love and hate each other."
"A pair of happy enemies who love and hate each other... Your magic props are very interesting. I have never heard of these words, but I can understand their meanings."
"Sir, I don't want to lie, but I don't know how to explain it, so please treat it as some kind of magic prop that allows people to communicate without obstacles."
Hearing what Qin Bin said, Xiao Bai laughed, "You are quite interesting."
"Not bad." Qin Bin also smiled, and then turned his eyes to the money bag and space ring on the grass beside him, revealing a hint of hesitation...
Chapter 007: What the hell?
At dusk, on the lawn inside the defensive magic circle.
Seeing Qin Bin like this, Xiao Bai asked curiously, "What's the matter? Is there any problem with what Liya gave you? You can't think it's too little, right?"
Qin Bin shook his head. "Although I know very little about this world, or almost nothing at all. But the fact that 1 Yuelang can meet the living needs of a family of three for a month also makes me understand that 50 Yuelang is not a small amount, not to mention that they also gave me a storage ring. I think this storage ring should be worth a lot, right?"
Xiao Bai nodded and said, "A storage ring like this with a capacity of two cubic meters has a market price of about 5 to 6 Saint Gold Coins - oh, 100 Yuelang is equivalent to 1 Saint Gold Coin, which is also called 'Rilang' or 'Saint Lang'."
Qin Bin nodded. "Hundred-digit system, 5 to 6 Yuelang for a storage ring. It's very expensive."
Xiao Bai said, "It is indeed expensive. The main reason is that the production cost of space storage magic devices is very high. Ordinary people can't afford it at all. So, why do you look at the things Leah gave you so much?"
Qin Bin hesitated for a moment, weighed the pros and cons secretly, and then said, "Sir, I don't want to lie to you, so I'm sorry."
Xiao Bai was slightly stunned, then couldn't help laughing, "You are such an interesting person."
As he spoke, Xiaobai floated up as if defying gravity.
It seemed that he felt uncomfortable sitting on the grass with his head raised and talking to Qin Bin, so he floated up like that.
Qin Bin just smiled slightly in response to Xiaobai's comment.
At this time, Xiao Bai said, "Just do whatever you want to do. I will just watch and not ask you any questions."
"Thank you." Qin Bin paused slightly, then smiled sincerely.
Xiaobai blinked, smiled and nodded in response.
Qin Bin didn't say anything else, but picked up the bag containing 50 Yuelang and the storage ring.
[2 cubic meter storage ring - 36 wishes]
Qin Bin was not surprised by the pitifully small amount of power in the storage ring. He could only say that this storage ring was "very new", probably because it had not passed through many hands since it was made.
Qin Bin also glanced at the 50 Yuelang coins in the purse and found that most of them had dozens of wish powers. The largest one had only 107 wish powers, and the smallest one had only a pitiful few wish powers. It was a huge difference from the one Leah showed him before.
I think this batch of coins has only been in circulation for a limited time and has been handled by a limited number of people, which is why they appear so "poor".
But even so, Qin Bin absorbed 769 wishes, plus the 36 from the storage ring, which turned Qin Bin's original wish power reserve from 0 into 805.
Naturally, the absorption of willpower will not have any impact on the coins and storage ring itself.
In other words, the 50 Yuelang and storage ring in Qin Bin's hand still have their original social value.
As long as Qin Bin releases these Yuelang and storage rings into society and lets them circulate, new wishes will be attached to them.
To sum up the above, Qin Bin thought that as long as he could go to a more prosperous city where the indigenous people lived and settle down, he would have plenty of ways to get a steady supply of vows.
