Chapter 1456 Drink Together?
“Have you noticed that Fatty’s mood seems a bit off?”
In another room, Jiang Er floated above the bed, one hand supporting her chin, speaking thoughtfully.
Below the bed, An Qingyu held several tools, continuously hammering at the edge of the black coffin, seemingly disassembling something. Hearing her words, he looked up and thought carefully, “It does seem a bit… but maybe he’s just tired?”
“I don’t think that’s it.”
“Then what do you think is the reason?”
“I’m not sure…” Jiang Er frowned with concern, “But he definitely has something on his mind.”
An Qingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if realizing something, “I think I know…”
“What?”
“Molly.”
“…I think I’ve heard you guys mention her before, who exactly is she?” Jiang Er blinked.
Jiang Er joined the team last, so she wasn’t involved in either the [Bell Crand] incident or the battle with the Baili family, making this name completely unfamiliar to her.
“You could say she’s Fatty’s first love.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Er’s ears perked up immediately, and she floated with interest to An Qingyu’s side, “First love? Tell me more!”
“They seem to have met when they were recruits in the training camp, but I wasn’t there then, so I don’t know the details. However, later in Guangshen City…”
An Qingyu explained everything he knew, and Jiang Er’s mouth opened slightly in surprise.
“Rainy day, yellow dress, bus, Pigsy mask… sounds like a sad story.” Jiang Er thought for a moment, her expression becoming animated, “But rekindling an old flame after several years is quite interesting… Do you think they could get back together?”
“I doubt it.” An Qingyu shook his head, “He left her in Guangshen without saying a word back then. After all these years, who knows how Molly feels about him now?”
“That’s not necessarily true. The fact that she was willing to travel all the way to Guangshen for their appointment means she definitely still has feelings for him. And if she later heard about what Fatty went through back then, any dissatisfaction would immediately be replaced by concern, constantly worrying about him… When you worry about someone for a long time, it can turn into affection.”
“…Really?”
“You blockhead, you’re good at research, but when it comes to this stuff, you’re completely clueless.” Jiang Er snorted twice.
“I’m still better than Qiye, right? When we got together, Qiye was still entangled with Jialan.”
“Hmm… you were a bit better than him before, but it’s hard to say now. Haven’t you seen the way he looks at Jialan when she’s sleeping? Once a straight man awakens, his direct approach can be unstoppable. They might get married before you know it.”
“Married…”
An Qingyu’s hands paused while working on the black coffin, stunned for a moment, “Are we… already at that age?”
“Except for me, you all should be around 23 or 24, right? In the outside world, that might be a bit early for marriage… but for Night Watchers, it’s not early at all. After all, who knows what might happen on the battlefield at any moment, right?”
Jiang Er finished speaking, looking earnestly into An Qingyu’s eyes, her lips pressed together slightly.
“…That’s true.” An Qingyu nodded and continued working on the coffin.
Jiang Er silently stuck out her tongue.
“Qingyu.”
“Hmm?”
“Do you think… I might have to remain like this for the rest of my life?”
“Impossible.” An Qingyu spoke with certainty, “Your physical body has indeed died, but since gods exist in this world, there must be a way to restore you to life… Once we accumulate more merits, perhaps we can ask the heavenly gods if such elixirs exist.
If all else fails, I’ll forge a new body for you. Commander Ye once used the Dragon Elephant Sword to rebuild the Sword Saint’s physical form, and I’m sure I can do it too someday. As long as your magnetic field attaches to that body, you’ll be able to move like a normal person.”
Hearing these words, joy appeared in Jiang Er’s eyes, and her eyebrows curved into crescents as she smiled.
“Until then, you’ll just have to bear with staying here.” An Qingyu put away his tools, lifted the black coffin again, and dusted off his hands, saying, “Your ability has improved, allowing you to manipulate some physical objects with your magnetic field. I’ve rebuilt the coffin’s frame with lodestone, so try if you can move it yourself.”
Jiang Er’s gaze fell on the black coffin, surprise appearing in her eyes. As she gently raised her fingertips, the magnetic field around her began to fluctuate rapidly, and the heavy black coffin gradually rose from the ground, hovering in mid-air.
“It really works!” Jiang Er exclaimed excitedly.
Previously, although Jiang Er could fly freely in her magnetic field state, she couldn’t leave the vicinity of her physical body, which was sealed in the immovable black coffin. She had to rely on others to carry her around, which was very cumbersome.
But now that she could control the coffin herself, it meant she had gained the ability to move independently and travel unlimited distances.
“So can you remove the straps from the coffin now?” Jiang Er pointed at the two thick black straps that were originally tied to An Qingyu.
“Remove them? Why would I do that?” An Qingyu shook his head, “This improvement is only to give you self-protection ability in case something unexpected happens during battle. I’ll still carry you normally; otherwise, I’d be worried.”
Hearing this, Jiang Er’s cheeks reddened even more. She turned her head slightly away and practiced controlling the black coffin with her magnetic field, gradually becoming more proficient…
…
Half an hour later.
Lin Qiye opened his eyes from his slumber, sat up in bed, and couldn’t help but yawn. The mental fatigue had been considerably relieved, though his consciousness was still a bit foggy after the short sleep. A slight rumbling sound came from his stomach as hunger surged.
Lin Qiye cleared his mind, opened the door and walked out. An Qingyu, Jiang Er, and Cao Yuan were already standing outside.
“Where’s Fatty?”
“Probably still sleeping.”
“Let’s wake him up. He should eat something before going back to sleep.” Lin Qiye walked to Baili Fatty’s door and was about to knock when the door slowly opened from the inside.
Creak—!
Baili Fatty stood behind the door, gently rubbing his eyes, seemingly not fully awake, with slightly reddened eye sockets.
“Time to eat, right?” Baili Fatty patted his stomach, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He reached into his pocket and pulled out an expensive bottle of white liquor.
He waved the bottle in front of everyone, raising an eyebrow,
“Care for a drink while we’re at it?”
