Chapter 42 My Lord, Times Have Changed



“Brother Jiang Mu…”

“Brother Jiang Mu…”

“Brother Jiang Mu…”

"Sister Gan Yu..."

A clearly visible "well" appeared above Jiang Mu's head...

"What the hell..." Gan Yu pouted again, unwilling to give up.

"They clearly said I could stay whenever I wanted..."

"No..." Jiang Mu smiled wryly. Would it even matter if he said he'd just talked too much...?

“Sister Gan Yu.” Jiang Mu tried to dissuade her from the idea. “I remember you still have a lot of work at Yuehaiting.”

"This..." Gan Yu touched her lips with her finger, and after a while, smiled gently.

"It's alright, just leave it to Baiwen and the others."

"No, officer," Jiang Mu thought to himself, "Unlike you, a workaholic who's been working overtime for thousands of years, Bai Wen and the others are just kids!"

"I have a feeling you're thinking something really rude..."

Gan Yu narrowed her beady eyes, her expression unfriendly.

"No way..." Jiang Mu quickly waved his hand, "You can stay here, Sister Gan Yu, I'll find you a room right now."

As he spoke, he hurried upstairs.

"Honestly, your sister isn't going to eat you..."

Gan Yu chuckled lightly, then looked towards the horizon, her gaze seemingly fixed on the distant celestial palace.

"Lady Ningguang, I'm sure you've received my leave request, haven't you...?"

………………

In the Jade Pavilion...

"Aaaaaaah! There are so many files!"

One of the secretaries scratched his head frantically.

"I'm already so busy!"

The other secretary also appeared to be insane.

"Ah ba ah ba ah ba..." Baiwen was already lying on the table, with an indescribable white mist-like substance bearing Baiwen's face slowly floating upwards from the corner of his mouth...

"Sister Baiwen, don't die!"

The two quickly shook Baiwen and forcibly stuffed the "mist" back in.

"Aaaaaaah!"

After his soul returned to its place, Baiwen also roared.

"I miss Senior Gan Yu..."

After venting his anger, Baiwen slumped onto the table, muttering to himself with lifeless eyes.

The two people around her nodded repeatedly.

"I really don't know how Senior Gan Yu has managed to persevere all these years..."

As they were murmuring, another pile of documents came up.

"I don't want to see those documents anymore!!!!"

………………

"Achoo!"

Gan Yu sneezed.

"Who's talking about me..."

Gan Yu murmured, rubbing her cute little nose.

"Could it be Baiwen and the others? No way, I don't remember giving them much work..."

"Sister Gan Yu, I've prepared your room."

Jiang Mu came downstairs and smiled.

"Really?" Gan Yu said with delight. "Then take me to see it."

"Okay." Jiang Mu nodded with a smile.

………………

In the spacious room, a large, soft bed occupies the main space, with delicate tassels hanging from the plush silk quilt. The wallpaper on the surrounding walls is decorated with strings of cloud-like patterns outlined in light blue.

On the bedside table, there is a quietly blooming clump of 'Qingxin' (a type of herb), faintly exuding its unique fragrance.

"this……"

Gan Yu covered her mouth in surprise.

"So many things, it's obvious that they couldn't have been prepared in such a short time. Could it be that Brother Jiang Mu had already prepared a room for me here?"

The girl's (crossed out) mind began to wander again.

If Jiang Mu knew what she was thinking at that moment, he would definitely calmly make a sarcastic remark.

"Sister, you're overthinking it. This is all thanks to the system..."

Unfortunately, Jiang Mu didn't have the ability to read other people's minds, so he smiled at the girl he was trying to win over (crossed out).

"So, Sister Gan Yu, are you satisfied?"

"I'm very satisfied!"

Gan Yu smiled and her eyes gradually brightened as she looked at Jiang Mu.

"Well--"

Jiang Mu was a little confused by her gaze and quickly said...

"Sister Gan Yu, is there anything you're unhappy about? Tell me, and I'll do my best to satisfy you!"

No, no.

Gan Yu simply shook her head, continuing to stare intently at Jiang Mu.

………………

Finally, unable to bear the former's gaze any longer, Jiang Mu fled in panic.

"I'm going to make dinner."

"hehe……"

Looking at Jiang Mu's somewhat disheveled figure, Gan Yu smiled gently.

"So cute..."

As she spoke, Gan Yu lay back on the bed, enjoying the refreshing and soothing scent, and happily squinted her eyes.

"This is wonderful..." Gan Yu murmured.

"Even an emperor would be captivated by this feeling of leisurely wandering in the mortal world..."

………………

"call--"

Jiang Mu let out a long breath.

"If I didn't know that Sister Gan Yu was part of the protagonist's harem, I probably would have really thought she was going to fall for me..."

Patting his chest, Jiang Mu sighed.

Although Sister Gan Yu had always treated him well, he, being familiar with the plot, knew that every single one of the female characters in Genshin Impact...

Ahem, those who know, know...

So no matter how affectionately they call each other "brother" and "sibling" now, once they meet that famous traveler...

"well--"

With a long sigh, Jiang Mu decided to fully commit to his role as a mere tool.

What? You're asking why Jiang Mu thinks the traveler must be male?

Are you kidding me? Does that mean female travelers can't have a harem...?

………………

Putting aside his own thoughts, Jiang Mu began preparing dinner for the day.

Because Gan Yu needs to control her weight, Jiang Mu mostly chooses light and bland foods.

For example, there's Sweet Flower-Stuffed Chicken, Magical Mapo Tofu, and Extra-Strong Twice-Cooked Pork, etc...

Just kidding, Jiang Mu did prepare some light dishes for Gan Yu.

For example, a peaceful and prosperous era, mint jelly, etc...

After dinner, it was completely dark.

After enjoying the ice cream dessert prepared by Jiang Mu, Gan Yu lay contentedly on the sofa.

Cough cough... Because Jiang Mu was eating so deliciously, Gan Yu couldn't resist in the end and ended up eating with her mouth full of oil.

"Now I'm going to gain weight again..."

Clutching her round belly, Gan Yu said somewhat dejectedly.

"It's fine……"

Jiang Mu, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, replied with a smile upon hearing this.

"Cheap Gan Yu is also very cute..."

"Cute and stuff..."

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.

"How can he be so good at flirting..."

At this moment, Jiang Mu was still unaware that he was flirting with our Miss Yeyang so much, and he continued talking to himself.

"When Sister Gan Yu has children in the future, they will definitely be very cute..."

"Kids are too early..."

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu's face turned even redder.

"Sister Gan Yu, do you want to..."

"Knock knock..."

Before Jiang Mu could finish speaking, a rapid banging sound came from the floor.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Mu hurriedly returned to the living room, where he saw a black slime hopping and hopping towards the living room.

"What's wrong, Big Black?"

He asked hurriedly.

Big Black didn't speak (he probably couldn't even speak anyway...), he just hopped around, looking very impatient.

"It seems something's gone wrong."

Jiang Mu frowned.

Since Dahei was tamed, it has always behaved very well. If it's like this now, then there must be a problem.

"careful……"

Before anyone knew it, Gan Yu was standing next to Jiang Mu, the Amos Bow in her hand gleaming brightly.

"Something is definitely not right."

Jiang Mu nodded, took out an Awm, and attached an infrared night vision device to it.

Sure enough, through the scope, a group of figures were seen taking advantage of the cover of night to quietly sneak towards Jiang Mu's house.

“They’re up to no good…” Jiang Mu chuckled and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out in the night sky, and the leader on the other side fell to the ground.

However, Jiang Mu was careful and used only Friga bullets sold in the system store.

What if the other party wasn't there to rob someone, but accidentally killed someone? Wouldn't that be awkward?

"How did that kid manage to fight his way over from so far away? Is he some kind of god?!"

Seeing his companion fall, one of the people in the crowd exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hehe..." Jiang Mu chuckled mysteriously, "My lord, times have changed!"

Then, he pulled the trigger again!
