Chapter 26 Ending, Farewell, Liyue Boys Become Men One by One...
"……Um."
Rhhinedot was a little surprised. She now suspected that if the child had not been somewhat interested in her unintentional creation, he might have dealt with the situation and run away.
"Naturally, you are the one who gave it the true color of this world, so you are the one who added the finishing touch to it, and it's okay to let it follow you."
"Thank you." Yi Bai said politely.
He approached the golden king beast, stretched out his hand, stood on tiptoe and touched the hard shell on the top of the beast dog's head.
He asked, "Will you come with me?"
“Ah——”
The beast-hound wagged its huge rock-crusted tail merrily, and it certainly seemed to be enjoying it.
Not long ago, it was brought out of the dark and chaotic world by its "mother", given life, and brought to this place full of green grass and flowers, allowing it to dance and sing happily with the little lives...
But ever since the boy threw a terrifying filter-like force at him, everything in front of him became gray and gloomy, and it also made him truly understand the reality of this world in the eyes of humans.
It suddenly realized that its claws, which were originally just a way to express affection, almost ended the boy's life. "Mother" said that this is what the world really looks like.
This fact frightened the beast dog so much that it immediately collected all the little brothers it had summoned. It could only feel even more guilty, lying on the ground in shame, waiting to be punished. As long as its "mother" did not throw it back into that dark and cold world, it could endure any punishment.
After all... it was me who made such a delicate and fragile little life endure so much unnecessary fear and oppression of death.
But unexpectedly, the boy forgave it and made a friendly invitation to accompany it, and the "mother" also agreed to let it leave.
Then it is absolutely willing to give everything for the rest of its life to follow its new master and firmly protect his safety.
The Golden King Beast was full of fighting spirit, and he howled excitedly while suppressing his voice, then he obediently laid his head on the ground again, wagging his tail naturally.
Yi Bai felt that the giant beast in front of him suddenly changed its appearance and became more like a big domestic dog...
"good."
Yi Bai touched the big dog's head again and asked:
"Would you like to be smaller? I'll take you out of here."
The beast dog expressed doubts, but it couldn't speak, so Yi Bai took it as tacit agreement. In just half a second, Yi Bai used the power of rules to transform the domineering giant beast into a pitiful little floating object the size of a fairy.
Yi Bai nodded with satisfaction, not paying attention to the puppy's confused expression. He grabbed the beast's tail, picked it up in his arms and prepared to leave.
Rhhinedot, who had been almost ignored, pondered the mysterious and powerful force with interest and did not speak out to stop it.
But before leaving, Yi Bai turned back as if he suddenly remembered something and said politely:
"By the way, if you want to discuss something with me next time, please don't use such a grand invitation. I will still accept the invitation."
“…”
This sentence sounded somewhat dissatisfied and sarcastic. Rhinedot did not reply. She guessed that if it were not for the golden beast, the boy might have behaved more strongly with his personality.
But in fact, Yi Bai, who had already opened the mirror and stepped into it, was just thinking:
He was not an ignorant person who advocated non-violence and non-cooperation. Based on the difference in combat power between the two, Yi Bai would not use all the power of rules to reject an experiment that would not harm the source.
He has always known how to assess the situation and weigh the pros and cons, so... Yi Bai simply felt that all this trouble was a bit troublesome and tiring.
…
Near the anchorage not far away on the other side of Mondstadt Lake, the gentle breeze and the blue sky healed the entire grassland. Yi Bai, who had finally left that depressing space, looked relaxed and relaxed.
He found a patch of grass and sat down against a tree, then lifted up the golden king beast in his arms. Even though it had become very small, the beasthound's body was still hard and not soft at all, and it was even a little rough to the touch.
As he watched, Yi Bai's eyes became subtly gloomy.
The beast dog seemed to have sensed something and didn't care about the comfortable environment around it. Its subconscious to survive made it swing its scaly, long, and hard desire tail. It gently wrapped the tip of its tail around the back of Yi Bai's hand, expressing its obvious closeness and dependence.
…Forget it, Yi Bai's eyesight gradually softened. It doesn't matter if it hurts, at least it will look more domineering and oppressive after it becomes bigger.
The golden beast, who had no idea that he was about to be turned into a plush dog, was still humming unconsciously.
Yi Bai tilted his head and asked:
"Can I give you a name?"
The beast dog's glowing white eyes instantly brightened by two shades. "Mother" had never given it a name, and it originally thought that it had to show its usefulness and use enough strength to win a name for itself...
"Hmm..."
Yi Bai fell into thought: "How about Fenrir?"
Anyway, so many powerful creatures and demons in Genshin Impact are named after various mythological systems, so it should be understandable to borrow the name of a demon wolf from mythology.
The ignorant golden king beast was thus given the name of the destructive demon wolf. No one knew whether the names of living creatures would have any special meaning in the laws of Teyvat.
But Fenric, the wolf king of the Beast Realm wolf pack, will always stand in front of his master, or his partner, the [Hidden Wolf] White Ivel, to help him hide his body, travel through space, and tear apart everything.
This will be a fact that will be recognized and firmly believed by countless fighters on future battlefields.
At this moment, Xiao Fen Li Ke was still running around everywhere. Yi Bai slowly closed his eyes, intending to rest for a while to relieve the accumulated physical and mental fatigue.
Wendy and his companions have returned to Mondstadt.
Captain Qin issued a notice announcing the successful resolution of the Wind Dragon incident, and claimed that the Phantom Water Knight Ishiro had made a huge contribution to the matter. He would be awarded a unique medal as a commendation, and would make an exception to include him in the Knights' Special Team to carry out long-term secret missions.
Sora accepted Amber's invitation to dine, and decided to meet at the table in front of the Deer Hunter Restaurant soon to say their final goodbyes before continuing their journey.
At the door of the restaurant, Kaiya was already standing there, seemingly studying the snacks he wanted carefully.
Paimon flew over in advance and greeted Kaia:
"Hey, Kaiya! Why are you here? Are you just lazing around here?"
Paimon said in a dissatisfied tone: "Everyone in the Knights is very busy at this time!"
"Oh, our great hero of Mondstadt and his best friend Paimon, you are back."
Kaia replied with a smile.
Paimon crossed his arms. "Humph, we are not something you can buy off with just a few words of praise. Amber just complained to us about you. The Hillichuls launched a general attack on Mondstadt, but their cavalry captain is nowhere to be found."
Kaiya: "Well, I'm an intelligence worker for the Knights, so of course I have my own things to do. Recently, I used some tricks to get an important piece of intelligence out of the Abyss Cult."
Kong heard this and grasped the key point: "Important information about the Abyss Cult?"
Kaiya also became serious and stopped keeping it a secret:
"Well, it is said that behind the Abyss Cult, there is another leader whom they call: 'Her Royal Highness the Princess'."
...Princess? Sora concentrated, his thoughts a little confused, he recalled the intermittent sounds coming from that direction when Yi Bai captured the Abyss Mage a few days ago.
"You are... the one... beside Her Highness the Princess..."
Sora came out of his memories and came up with an obvious answer:
Yi Bai has an unusual connection with the Princess of the Abyss, and is likely to belong to this organization...
He rubbed his forehead. The abyss... If Yi Bai was still here, he might be able to go and find out the truth, but now...
Kaiya frowned and asked, "Why, have you heard of this title?"
Kongxia shook his head subconsciously and covered up Yi Bai's identity. Before finding out the truth of the matter, he did not want to add unnecessary doubts to the young hero of the Knights Regiment.
He has his own judgment on Yi Bai's position.
Kaiya thought for a while, but still didn't ask any further questions.
"Well... well, anyway, the Abyss is our common enemy. If you need help in the future, please remember that the Knights will always stand on the side of humanity."
Sora nodded seriously.
…
"Well, Finrich, it's time for us to go back to Mondstadt."
Yi Bai finally stood up from the grass and called the beast dog back.
There is still some final finishing work in Mondstadt that needs his assistance. After all, as the executive officer of the Fatui, the Heart of God should be his first purpose in coming to Mondstadt.
Yi Bai once again used the power of rules to change his image back to that of a young man with wolf ears. His sea-blue pupils became less gentle and more sharp.
He pulled at the tight black necklace around his neck to loosen it a little, then closed his eyes.
Ibai's personal actions have concluded. Now it is the turn of the Hidden Wolf, Ivel.
The boy looked towards Mondstadt in the center of the lake, where all his memories of "Yibai" were preserved.
But... no matter whether it's fried fish, knights, wings, or lyre, after today they will all be temporarily sealed by myself, and then I will use completely different identities and names to plan everything in the future.
At least for now, he has to help his colleagues to snatch the Heart of the Wind God, "White Evel".
…
On the live forum screen, the plot is developing non-stop.
"Barbara Duck!"
"Mondstadt's number one idol, Barbara!"
"Ahh, she's so cute."
"By the way, Barbara and Jean have similar hair and eye colors!"
"We are sisters. Qin's story tells that."
"The Sky Harp... uh... this, that."
"After all, it was the Wind God himself who broke it..."
"Not to the point where he doesn't care that much."
"Wendy can fix the piano? Is that true?"
"Haha, Barbara took him away without even looking back."
"Wendy: That's obviously my piano..."
Bai Yivel glanced at the screen beside him, his wolf ears moved slightly, and he reached out and grabbed Fenric who was flying overhead.
"Okay, you've seen it all. It's a wolf's ear. Can you be quiet?"
The young man frowned. Can the wolves in the golden beast realm be considered a kind of wolf?
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve changed my appearance and made it smell a familiar scent, but Fenric hasn’t recovered from his state of excitement for a long time.
"I have something to do now, please be quiet."
Bai Yiweier's voice carried a hint of command, and Fenric finally lay obediently on the boy's shoulder, waiting for his master's next move.
But in fact, Bai Yiweier just couldn't stand having a floating object circling around his head.
There is actually no special arrangement for the operation to seize the heart of God.
If I must say, the reason why Bai Yivel appeared here was simply because the subordinates of the "Madam" had handed over intelligence to him. It was related to the order of the Ice Queen, and he had to show a cooperative attitude in this matter.
In fact, due to the arrogance and pride of the Lady, she did not care about the whereabouts of the Hidden Wolf, nor did she intend to formulate any detailed cooperation plan. She just relied on her subordinates to tell White Ivel that when she was trying to seize the Heart of God, he only needed to watch on the scene, pay attention to the movements of the Knights, and clean up for her if anything unexpected happened.
“…”
Bai Yivel was relieved. In this case, as long as he confirmed that the Heart of God was in the lady's hands, he could directly evacuate Mondstadt, change his identity and go to Liyue, lay the next chess pieces, and leisurely fiddle with his slime farm.
The young man with a black cape moved at high speed in Mondstadt, leaving only a faint light blue shadow, until he stopped behind a large tree at the side gate of Mondstadt Cathedral.
Destiny does have its own powerful force.
[Madam] had already led her subordinates of the Fatui to wait near the church in advance, and the moment Wendy and Kong ran out, they attacked without mercy.
In the sweeping cold wave, Paimon was frozen into an ice block and blown away. The defenseless Sora was handcuffed by two of the Fatui's men, controlling his movements.
Wendy's feet were frozen in the ice. He raised an incredibly weak wind, but still couldn't break free.
The arrogant [lady] has chosen to turn on the taunt skill:
"After giving up the God who ruled Mondstadt, is this all the power left?"
White Evel leaned against the tree, closed his eyes and thought: If the gods rely on faith to gain power, then over the past thousands of years, the people of Mond have never given up their worship of the God of Wind.
In any case, it was clear that Wendy's verbal offensive power was a level higher than that of the lady, and his colleagues were unsurprisingly infuriated.
Bai Yiweier exhaled softly, and his eyelashes began to tremble slightly.
The lady rushed forward with her anger, and successfully took out the Heart of God with her hands. Sora's powerful shout echoed in the space, startling the blue sparrows on the treetops.
It's a pity that although the strong Wendy was so weak that he knelt on the ground with his hands covering his heart, he still insisted on the strategy of retorting to every word the lady said, and successfully got the treatment that made the players even more angry.
Just as the lady was about to slap him, Bai Yiweier impatiently stretched out his palm which was bruised by fingertips.
Behind the big tree, Bai Yivel condensed a thin water vine in the air, and used the power of Fenricha to dissolve space to shuttle to the lady's side, tightly wrapped around her wrist, tightened it, and then pulled it in the opposite direction.
"Um?"
The lady's movements were controlled, and she was forced to hang in the air. She frowned and looked at the water vine that was so tight that it even hurt her wrist.
At least she was not completely stupid and she immediately figured out the possible source of the power.
She said impatiently: "Mind your own business."
But his feet did not stop moving, he still insisted on kicking the bard hard, then turned around and called his men.
She walked away slowly, shaking her hands, her tone still carrying the arrogance and sharpness: "Let's go, since someone is causing trouble here, we won't stop for long."
…
"Ahhhhh I'm so angry, I'm so angry, I'm so angry."
"Ma'am, I'll remember you."
"My Paimon has been frozen into an ice block."
"It doesn't matter if you are good-looking! It doesn't matter if you have long legs! You dare to hit my brother! And you even take out my brother's heart?!!"
"I'm impressed by the Knights. Even if it's just the side, you can't leave every guard alone."
"Don't hit my wife!!!"
"How could I be caught by two fools? I'm so angry. Measure your health bar if you can!"
"It's over. I opened the door to the church but no one came."
"Vendy's wind... feels like the entire Pacific Ocean. When he fought the abyss monster before, it was not even this much wind."
"This heart of God is like the Queen in chess"
"If you kick me again, I'll kick you again"
"...I'll remember this grudge."
"Luckily she didn't slap me, or I would never forgive her."
"Although it's a bit far, the way she moves looks like her hand is being grabbed by something."
"It doesn't feel like they are on our side... From what the lady said, they should know each other."
"Maybe he just doesn't want to cause any trouble."
"Ahhhhhh, no matter who blocked her slap, I have to thank you."
"That's right, but I'm still very angry."
Far away on the grassy field, the two executives who had already left Mondstadt met for the first time on Mondstadt's soil.
Bai Yiweier stood not far away, with his arms folded, waiting for Rosaline to approach. On his shoulder was still the king beast that had made such a great contribution.
His eyes were cold, but his tone was calm:
"Rosaline, as your colleague, I think I need to remind you that arrogance and ignorance will only accelerate the process of digging your own grave."
Even with the evil eye's restraint, Rosaline seemed unable to suppress the raging fire in her body for a moment. She still had an unchanged attitude and spoke arrogantly:
"In terms of the executive officer ranking, you are just a small last place. This operation is led by me, and your mission is just to assist me."
Rosalyn sneered.
"As a result, as the executive officer of Winter Solstice, you not only did not stand on the side of your colleagues to help, but instead obstructed my actions. Aren't you a little ignorant of yourself?"
Bai Yiwei's mood did not change at all, but Fenrir on his shoulder became a little agitated, restraining his minions and waiting for the boy's instructions.
He said calmly: "If you think that the success of this operation is really due to your own strength, then it is somewhat stupid and ridiculous."
He paused and continued typing:
"Instead of focusing on his own purpose, he chose to vainly flaunt his pride and borrowed power in that situation.
With insufficient intelligence, he still insists on attracting the hatred of the Wind God who deliberately let him go and the travelers from outside the sea of stars. Who is the one who has no self-awareness?"
Bai Yiweier curled his lips and refuted mercilessly, mixed with facts.
Rosalyn gritted her teeth. Her arrogance would not allow her to admit that her vulnerable opponent had the possibility of disguise, not to mention that just the two words "stupid" and "ridiculous" mentioned to her colleague were enough to provoke her anger and trigger a conflict between the two executives.
Commonly known as the impotent rage caused by insufficient verbal aggression, which results in physical violence.
The Fools' subordinates behind Rosaline had already wisely moved away quite a distance.
But it turns out that the CEO's anger is not something that can be quenched by distance.
The two evil eyes both possessed the attribute of ice, and the two elemental forces that were incompatible with each other collided with each other. The biting cold ice penetrated the surrounding trees and stabbed into the tree trunks and grass.
Obviously, even the ice-attributed evil eye that Rosaline had used for many years could not compare to Bai Yivel's control over the elements after he blatantly broke the rules.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Rosaline set off a fierce flame that surrounded the center of the battlefield, with corrosive heat and water mist with a negative weakening effect rising outward.
The entire terrain was eroded by a large area of concentrated elemental force.
With the help of Fenric, even without the need to restore its original form, Bai Yivel's ability to dissolve space would allow him to pass water-attributed vines through any fixed point in the space on the grass.
Vines made of water alone might not be able to contain the raging fire, but with the blessing of rules, the vines covered with ice elements easily broke into the flames and then strangled Rosaline's throat.
The battle here was decided. On the other side, the fools under the Lady came over trembling and reported timidly:
"Lord Hidden Wolf, Madam, the Knights will be here soon."
Bai Yiweier glanced at the fools and slowly approached Rosaline who was still struggling with fire.
He spoke softly, in response to the lady's preface:
"...A little last seat?
For the Queen's sake, I will give you one last warning: Don't overconfide in your own strength. In this world, there will always be people you look down upon who can kill you."
Then he turned around, opened the water surface for teleportation in front of him, and slowly stepped in. Seeing this, Fenric, who was showing off his might on the side, hurriedly followed, hooked the clothes on the boy's shoulder with one claw, and left here in an instant.
Rosaline staggered to her feet, waved her hands behind her, and shouted hoarsely to her Fatui subordinates: "Let's go...!"
Detective Knight Amber and a patrol who heard the explosion were late.
"What's going on..."
Amber frowned and carefully observed the traces of battle on the ground.
"Two extremely powerful beings have fought each other here. We must report all these details to Captain Qin as soon as possible."
She said to herself.
In the office of the Knights, Captain Qin has fallen into an irreconcilable state of anxiety.
She looked at the documents sent to her and the evidence of the attack that could not be found no matter what, and sighed heavily.
The plans of the Fatui have become increasingly brazen and reckless. If necessary, she will write a letter to warn Miss Ningguang of the neighboring country. At least, she cannot let the Fatui continue to act lawlessly in other countries' territories...
…
In the symbolic place of Mondstadt's heroes, Venti stood under a big tree, a green light rising from his feet and covering his entire body.
"Hmm? You're here."
Wendy looked at Sora who was following behind her and asked:
"Are you here to see me?"
Sora nodded and asked worriedly, "Are you okay, Wendy?"
Paimon interrupted, "The Heart of God..."
"Um……"
It took quite some time for Venti to explain to Kong the concepts of the Eye of God, the Heart of God, and the Original God.
After Paimon asked, he explained in detail the existence of the eighth of the Twelve Fatui, codenamed "Madam".
"Hmm... Come to think of it, when I was confronting the lady, there seemed to be a third person who helped me block the lady's actions."
Wendy put her finger to her chin and thought.
"Who is it?" Sora asked.
At that time, he was staring at the executive [lady] who wanted to attack Wendy, and he could clearly see the tiny cracked space and the crystal-clear water-colored vines.
Wendy shook her head, but hesitated for a moment and finally said nothing.
He concluded the topic:
"I think... you will probably see that kind of power again in your future journeys."
Sora fell into deep thought.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Venti sent off Sora, who was about to embark on a new journey to Liyue. She turned around and looked at the empty branches covered by tall leaves.
He said lightly, "The time of the Wind God has ended. Now it is the time of Wendy."
The originally empty branches gradually began to take on a light blue hue.
Bai Yivel, who had disappeared, sat there, looking down at the poet.
Wendy crossed her arms and smiled:
"Are you here to say goodbye to me too, Xiaobai?"
"Hmm." The other party snorted.
Wendy flew to the top of the tree on the air flow and sat next to the boy.
He looked over the boy's shoulder, his eyes unfriendly:
"This is..."
Finley shrank his body and flew from Wendy's side to the other shoulder closer to the tree trunk.
Bai Yiweier glanced at the beast dog:
"It's a pet I got from someone else."
"Hmm..." Wendy instantly understood what had happened.
But he still said helplessly: "Although it looks a little different, its appearance is really a bit stressful."
Bai Yivel curled his lips, but still said in a gentle and soothing voice:
"I know I won't let it hang around in front of people with psychological problems."
The white-haired boy reached out and touched Finn's head: "At least it didn't have time to do anything."
Bai Yiweier thought for a moment, then took out a bottle of apple and dandelion mixed liquor from the storage space:
"A parting gift."
"Oh..." Wendy laughed and sighed softly.
"I was wondering... how could someone be more gentle than the gods I've met, always keen to find excuses to give gifts to their loved ones."
The young man blinked his confused and helpless deep blue eyes, pursed his lips, and turned his head away stiffly.
"Then consider it a farewell gift. I'm very happy."
Wendy picked up the wine jar and held it in her arms.
Well... this is definitely not something that was sent to me specifically to comfort myself after my God's Heart was stolen.
"Let me think about it. As for a parting gift... maybe I can only give Xiaobai a promise that he can get help from the God of Wind at any time."
"Or... is there anything Xiaobai likes?"
Wendy asked.
Bai Yiweier thought about it, the things he liked...
"Then please ask Wendy to play a tune about Mondstadt."
…
"The seasons change, and the wind in Mondstadt never stops blowing. Squirrels, rabbits, and forest pigs are always running and basking in the fruity sunshine.
Mond's fine wine carries a thousand-year-old story and heritage. In the ancient wine cellar, oak barrels slowly ferment time and memory.
As time goes by, the wind still sings a song that spreads everywhere. "
Amid the echo of the lyre, the two young men tacitly agreed not to mention any topics related to the Fatui or the Seven Gods. They just felt the wind and the song, and Mond's last memory was fixed on the final farewell under the banyan tree.
…
Liyue Harbor, street.
"Have you heard that a new guild was recently established in Liyue Harbor, called Songlan Guild. It has been gaining momentum recently and is almost on par with the old Liyue guild, Feiyun Guild."
"So amazing, could it be... related to the merchants who have been selling all kinds of slime gel in Liyue Harbor?"
"Yes, yes, the main business of the president of this guild is the marketing of slime gel-related foods, but he made a lot of money by selling the gel and its processed products to various places, making many businessmen jealous."
"It is said that the president of the Songlan Chamber of Commerce has opened a slime farm near the Explosive Tree not far from Wangshu Inn. There are many fire slimes isolated inside with glass walls, and he has also developed the only slime egg-laying technology in Teyvat!"
"Lay eggs?? How can a slime lay eggs?!"
"Who knows? Anyway, they have figured it out. Otherwise, they would open a ranch."
"But if you're curious, you can go and have a look. It's said that there's not only a close-up observation area for slime breaking its shell, but also a sauna business that has been built with great effort, special slime gel-related delicacies, and even a plush slime blind box for you before you leave."
"Of course, as long as you Mora take care of it, they say they have a partnership with Wangshu Inn, so you don't have to worry about housing and food."
"Shh... I'm a little excited. I have to say, the new slime-related foods served in restaurants recently are really rich and unique in flavor."
"That's not the case. Lord Rock bless me. I'm planning to go to Wanmin Hall today to grab the limited edition Rock Slime Crispy Milkshake..."
In the Qun Yu Pavilion, a magnificent, solemn and elegant office area, Ningguang sat on a bench, tapping the two ends of the scale with her slender fingers again and again, watching them rise and fall.
No one knew what conditions and chips she had placed on both ends of the scale at this moment.
"Lord Ningguang."
A secretary interrupted her complicated thoughts.
"Did you find out?"
"No... The president of the Songlan Chamber of Commerce suddenly appeared in Liyue Harbor as if out of nowhere. We are sure that he is indeed a Liyue person, but we can't find any information about his past whereabouts."
Ningguang nodded. Not being able to find any information was actually a kind of news in itself.
Either his identity is special and the forces behind the scenes have used more sophisticated means to hide their tracks, or he must be a person who appeared out of thin air, then perhaps he has some connection with the immortals...
This chamber of commerce president who came out of nowhere and shocked the business world, possessed business secrets that even she could not see through, sophisticated and meticulous business methods, and a frank and upright style of doing things, but he happened to be the only businessman in Liyue whose bottom line she could not see through.
The secretary continued to report: "But what we can find out is that his startup funds all come from deposits in the Northland Bank... After all, that is the bank opened by Zhidong in Liyue. We have no way to trace the source of that money..."
“Forget it.” Ningguang waved her hands.
"That's enough for us. His identity cannot be verified, and the large amount of deposits in the Northland Bank doesn't mean anything. All we can do is keep an eye on him. As long as he continues to act calmly and doesn't disrupt Liyue's trade rules and order, we can leave him alone for now."
After all, he can drive the economic development of Liyue, is not keen on spending large sums of money, and is even willing to provide cooperation opportunities and chips to other businessmen...in order to avoid making too many enemies. Such a wealthy businessman is already rare and hard to find.
…
In the afternoon, on the second floor of a residential building near the pier in Liyue Harbor.
Sitting at the tea table by the window, Yiran was thinking about whether he should tie his hair up today. He hadn't let his hair down for a long time, and he still felt a little uncomfortable during these days in Liyue Harbor.
The white hair was gradually gathered along Yiran's fingers, and then let down powerlessly.
“…”
To be honest, he was not very good at braiding hair, but in a place like Liyue with a strong Chinese style, he unconsciously gave himself white hair that was almost waist-length when he was creating his own character.
If he wanted to tie his hair up, the best he could do was to hastily gather it together at the roots, which looked a bit sloppy and not suitable for formal outings.
I thought about it, hmm...
Why don’t you go to Bulu when you have time to find Doctor Baizhu and ask him to teach you how to use a hairpin?
I also brought a portion of Qiqi's favorite ice slime and coconut milk jelly, but I don't know if one portion is enough.
There are still a few days until the Immortal Summoning Ceremony, and Kongyou hasn't arrived at Liyue Port in advance. Maybe he has accepted some exploration mission on the way...
Yiran yawned lazily. Although there were no electronic devices, being in a comfortable and peaceful environment like Liyue really made people relax their vigilance and forget about what was going to happen next.
He shook his head and tapped the table lightly. Finnick heard the sound and tore open the space and drilled out.
The beast dog was still the size of a floating object. It circled the table twice. A low and hoarse sound came out of its vocal organ. It asked expectantly:
"Bai, is there anything I can help you with tonight?"
Yiran held his chin in his hand, ignoring the hair problem for the time being, and replied:
"Yes, if everything goes well, I might be able to find you a new friend."
…
On the streets of Liyue Harbor.
Having already unlocked the telepathic information through the rules, Finnick looked at its owner with some uncertainty:
"Bai... the friend you're talking about is..."
"It's him." Yiran smiled faintly, with a look of excitement on his face.
In front of a kite stall in the distance, an orange-haired man was holding a swallow-shaped kite and a sparrow-shaped kite, hesitating for a moment, and finally decided to buy them all.
Anyway, it's the executive's [rich man's] money that's being spent, so if I buy one for each of Tonya and Tok, they should be happy.
Suddenly, Dadalia seemed to feel a familiar power. He turned his head suddenly and looked behind him. He almost conjured up a water-shaped sword in his hand, but found nothing.
I only saw a man with long white hair walking towards me from a distance. He had a leisurely expression on his face and did not look me in the eye. He just walked gracefully towards the kite stall.
Yiran looked at the many samples on the table with interest, and finally chose a kite in the shape of a wolfhound with claws and fangs painted on it.
His voice is like the sound of spring water, clear and pure:
"Excuse me, how much Mora does this style of kite cost?"
Yiran had a kind smile on his face, which made people feel close to him. The old lady smiled brightly in an instant:
"Not expensive, not expensive. If you pick another one, you can get it for half the price."
He nodded seriously and picked out another whale-shaped kite.
"That's all... I don't know if these two kites will fight if they are released together."
Yiran muttered to himself in a troubled tone.
"Eh—"
The old lady had good hearing and rejected the handsome young man's proposal directly:
"That won't work. How can we fly two kites at the same time?"
She thought about it, and as if she couldn't bear to disappoint her guests, she added, "But if we tie two kites to one string, maybe it would work."
"If you need it, I can also take the time to customize a kite like this for you."
Unable to hold back, he clenched his fingers, placed them against his lips, and laughed softly.
"That's not necessary. Even if a fight breaks out, they won't be damaged. We can just separate them."
"That's not true. The kites I make are all made of the finest fabrics..."
Yiran smiled and nodded in agreement with the stall owner. He passed Mora and slowly put away the two kites he had bought, then turned and left the stall.
“…”
