Vigus gave the same reply again.

If it were before yesterday, Vigus would definitely not have bothered to say a word.

But after what happened yesterday, Vigus's attitude towards Yin Qianyu improved, on the condition that Yin Qianyu could no longer use that name.

Thinking about this, even Vigus felt a bit annoyed. Where did this strange title come from?

In fact, if it were just simple insults, Vigus wouldn't even bother to react.

After all, she is a true master of giving up. When others criticize her, she will only say "um," "yes," or "oh right." If she is in a good mood after being criticized, she might even praise the other person.

The nickname "Poppy the Tanker" really hit the nail on the head regarding Vigus's anger.

Of course, the core issue isn't tanking, but rather the name Poppy.

Who is Poppy? She is a fellow Yordle, a true heroine of Demacia, and a Yordle surrounded by countless halos.

Even among the Yordles, Poppy is considered the perfect embodiment of justice and is revered as a hero.

If other Yordles were called "xx Poppy," they would probably just smile slightly, or even take it as a compliment.

But Vigus is different!

For Vigus, who reveres despair and sorrow, the more sublime something is, the more easily she feels disgusted by it, such as noble virtues and great heroes.

Calling her by the name of the famous hero Bobby would be the ultimate insult to her.

Fortunately, by yesterday evening, the two sides had reached a grudging agreement on how to address each other. Yin Qianyu agreed not to call her "Badass Bobby" anymore, which made her very satisfied.

Vigus lazily rolled over on the ground, her back to Yin Qianyu, signaling for her to leave quickly.

"No, you will help me!"

To Vigus's surprise, Yin Qianyu said with great certainty.

Vigus didn't react, or rather, she didn't want to react at all. The lazybones didn't want to continue the topic following Yin Qianyu's words.

The room was completely silent, which made Yin Qianyu, who had been so confident, feel a little awkward.

"Cough cough!"

Pretending to cough twice to cover her embarrassment, Yin Qianyu asked Vigus:

"Don't you want to wash away your shame?"

"The disgrace caused by the black fog disaster unleashed by the Clown King Foygo!"

Vigus was startled. Accustomed to being lazy, she sat up straight, her big eyes with dark circles staring intently at Yin Qianyu.

She didn't have time to pay attention to the title of "Clown King Foyago," but instead asked Yin Qianyu:

How did you know?

Yin Qianyu did not answer Vigus's question, but instead spoke to herself:

"You've had a fondness for decadence and despair since childhood, and you hate those emotions that bring joy."

After the Night of the Dead descended, you followed its source to the Shadow Isles and met Fawkes, the source of the calamity.

You think Folyago's desire to spread the Black Mist throughout the world is noble, so you willingly help him spread the Soul Eater.

But as things unfolded, you discovered that Fóyego's purpose in spreading despair was simply to pursue his own love.

Feeling deceived, you chose to leave before the final battle, leaving him to be sealed away.

"Although you chose to leave at the last moment, your previous actions have undoubtedly become a laughing stock."

To spread despair with the ultimate goal of bringing happiness to another person—don't you think that's a tremendous disgrace to you?

Vigus stared coldly at Yin Qianyu, who was extending her hand to her, and that firm voice rang in Vigus's ears:

"And I can give you a chance to wash away your shame!"

Chapter Nineteen inflicts upon them the deepest despair!

"what?"

Vigus wore a disdainful, lazy smile as she lay back down on the ground. However, the restless shadow behind her revealed that Vigus's mood was not as calm as it appeared.

“It does make me angry that Foljego lied to me, but so what?”

Folgo has been resealed, and I have left Runeterra. What can you offer to help me wash away this so-called shame?

And are you sure I would really care about such a disgrace?

Faced with Vigus's three consecutive questions, Yin Qianyu smiled charmingly and said softly and earnestly:

"Someone I know once said this about you: the more arrogant a person is, the more they will pretend to be indifferent to the things they care about."

Vigus, who had been lying flat, rolled over and sat up again, her big eyes with dark circles staring intently at Yin Qianyu, her face full of confusion.

"Am I a tsundere?"

Vigus pointed to herself in disbelief.

As the creator of the Soul-Eating Night that spread throughout the world, and the messenger of despair, Vigus had never heard anyone describe her with such words before, to the point that she almost forgot to be angry.

Yin Qianyu nodded and, recalling the story Luo Tian had told her, recounted it to Vigus:

"After the Night of the Soul Eater, you returned to Bandle City and met your parents, hoping that your changes would disgust and frighten them, so that you could get rid of these two relatives who had always been good to you with a clear conscience."

But in the end, the truth is that although your parents were sad, they accepted your changes and their love for you remained unchanged.

You knew very well that you had done something wrong, but your innate aversion to beautiful things and your pride prevented you from accepting this love, so you could only run away from home and return to the Shadow Isles...

Vigus's originally pale face instantly turned bright red. She covered her ears with her wide sleeves and rolled her small body to a corner.

"Aaaah! You rude human, stop talking!"

The shadowy figure beside Vigus nodded solemnly, appearing to agree with Yin Qianyu's words.

Yin Qianyu stopped talking. She hadn't expected that exposing the true nature of someone who was arrogant would cause such great harm to that person.

The scene before her eyes even made Yin Qianyu prepared herself for Vigus to become enraged and want to kill her to silence her.

However, a few minutes later, Vigus slowly moved out of the huddled corner.

With her large eyes fixed on Yin Qianyu, Vigus's voice was filled with a deathly stillness, as if she had lost all will to live:

"From today onwards, never mention this matter or that word in front of me!"

Yin Qianyu was slightly taken aback, then realized that the word Vigus had used referred to "tsundere".

She wanted to laugh a little, but Yin Qianyu nodded seriously and asked a question casually.

"What about in front of other people?"

Vigus immediately reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, exclaiming excitedly:

"Neither!"

"Good good!"

Yin Qianyu comforted Vigus as if she were coaxing a child and agreed to Vigus's request.

Sensing that Yin Qianyu's tone seemed a bit off, Vigus didn't think too much about it, remaining seated on the ground with her arms crossed, glaring angrily at Yin Qianyu:

"Now you can tell me your idea of ​​washing away this shame. If your idea is really good, I'll consider helping you this once."

Yin Qianyu's face lit up with joy, but before she could speak, she heard Vigus add:

"Don't try to fool me with what I might do in the future; I need to see a practical solution."

Vigus stared at Yin Qianyu, her usually ethereal face now displaying an unprecedented level of energy.

Meeting Vigus's gaze, Yin Qianyu expressed her thoughts.

"The reason you chose to help Foygo was because at that time you believed that spreading the black fog to the whole world was a great aspiration."

But because of Feuergo's betrayal, this wish became a complete farce and a disgrace to you.

Even if you care nothing for anything else, you cannot ignore this desire that turns into shame.

Yin Qianyu leaned forward slightly, her majestic wine-red eyes and imposing figure forming a stark contrast with Vigus.

With her red lips slightly parted, Yin Qianyu said, word by word:

"And now, I can help you fulfill the wishes you couldn't have!"

Vigus frowned slightly, and scratched her head with her small hand hidden in her wide sleeve.

"You mean, you're going to spread despair in this world for me?"

After seeing Yin Qianyu nod emphatically, Vigus revealed a wicked smile and said:

"Although I don't know your identity, I can roughly guess from the way the servants outside the room address you that you must be the supreme heir of some country."

You were persecuted by the country's powerful nobles and were forced to flee to this remote town.

Now you claim you can spread despair in this world for me, do you intend to take your nation and its people down with you, along with those nobles?

Vigus's disdain was undisguised in her words.

Although she loathed happiness and beauty, she still looked down on this kind of behavior, which resembled the lamentation of a defeated dog.

Yin Qianyu, sitting opposite Vigus, shook her head. Instead of answering Vigus's question directly, she asked:

Do you know what kind of world this is?

Vigus looked puzzled, but before she could speak, Yin Qianyu continued:

"In the tens of thousands of years of development of this world, the arrival of countless time travelers has brought about countless changes to this world."

Technology, extraordinary systems, and industrial production have advanced by leaps and bounds through successive revolutions, allowing the Star World to rise above many other worlds and to colonize overseas regions on a massive scale.

All of this seemed so wonderful that even in the most remote parts of the Great Yin Empire, the farmers would proudly stand tall and recount the Great Yin Empire's power as if it were their own treasure.

However......"

Yin Qianyu paused slightly.

"For tens of thousands of years, emperors and nobles firmly controlled everything in the world. The emperors herded the nobles, and the nobles herded the people."

From agrarian civilization to industrial civilization, ordinary people have always been the ones exploited by the upper classes.

Within the fiefdoms of nobles, they could arbitrarily amend laws and determine taxes for commoners. While overt land annexation and wanton killing were not permitted, nobles had a thousand ways to erase everything from these commoners without leaving a trace.

The people at the bottom of society never had access to this constantly changing world.
