Upon seeing Zhongli's back, Dadalia licked her lips and hugged Zhongli from behind.
"It's the sect leader causing trouble again."
"Yes, sir, but I've already sent her away. Oh dear, a gentleman like that is best left to me alone."
"Don't be silly." Zhongli casually pulled Dadalia off him, picked up the clothes scattered on the ground, and slowly dressed, though his legs were still trembling a little.
Zhongli's calm face changed slightly. After giving D'Artagnan a vague snort, he left the Northern Bank.
"Sir is still so adorable." D'Artagnan smiled, his mood brightening as he thought of the water elemental icon on D'Artagnan's belly, adorned with a whale. "I wonder what our child will be like." (This will also be included in a side story near the end of the book.)
Zhongli returned to the Hall of Rebirth, and Xiao opened his eyes as the morning sun shone on Mondstadt. Venti in his arms slept peacefully, occasionally smacking his lips, as if dreaming of delicious wine.
Xiao lightly pecked Wendy on the forehead, then got out of bed. It was still early, so he decided to go buy some delicious food for breakfast.
Without hesitation, Xiao left the inn and went to the Deer Hunter Restaurant.
"Welcome! Ah, it's the same guy from yesterday. What would you like to eat today?" Sarah clearly remembered Xiao's appearance. Xiao's bright eyes made him a little uncomfortable, because he didn't know what good food Mondstadt had. So he said, "Anything suitable for breakfast, please." "Okay." Sarah quickly got to work. Perhaps it was still a bit early, as there weren't many people. Before long, Xiao's breakfast was served.
"It's still steaming hot," Sarah said with a smile. Xiao checked Mora and then returned.
"Good morning, Xiao." Wendy was still sleepy, wearing only a white T-shirt and white stockings, her flat stomach vaguely visible. Xiao swallowed, awkwardly turning his head away, and handed the breakfast to Wendy.
"Hey, is this for me? Haha, thanks! Come on, let's eat together. After we eat, let's go check out Inazuma. This dress will probably take several more days to arrive." Wendy paused, then laughed, patting the spot next to her. Xiao suddenly had a strange feeling, like she was being invited to bed.
This time, going to bed was the kind of bed that felt off.
Wendy had already shut down the live stream; it's better not to let others see their date.
After breakfast, the two arrived at Liyue's port and paid a visit to Zhongli.
"We're heading to Inazuma now, Mr. Zhongli. See you in a few days!" Wendy said with a smile. Zhongli, who was discussing things with Hu Tao, nodded. Hu Tao poked his head out and exclaimed, "Oh my, isn't this Brother and the Demon-Slaying Great Sage? Sit down, have dinner, and you can leave tomorrow." "Eh, it's Master Hu Tao, haha, then I'll gladly accept your offer." Wendy smiled and didn't refuse Hu Tao's kindness.
Xiao then walked to Zhongli's side and asked in a low voice, "Lord Zhongli, something seems off about you." Zhongli shook his head without changing his expression. Xiao immediately understood what Zhongli meant. If Zhongli didn't want to talk about it, then there was no need for Xiao to say anything more.
Walnut and Wendy chatted happily. The two were naturally friendly, and their meeting at the Lantern Festival made them even more impressed with each other's literary achievements. So, before long, Walnut and Wendy were discussing poetry over tea, while Xiao and Zhongli sat on the side watching the show.
Wendy really didn't like drinking tea, but he had no choice but to force himself to drink it. If he wasn't mistaken, this was probably a fine tea that Zhongli had treasured for many years, which he usually brewed for himself or to serve to guests. The thought of wasting this tea made him want to order a special set meal from the Hall of Rebirth, the kind with a huge discount.
If the tea runs out, Walnut will order Zhongli to refill it, while Wendy appears to be chatting and laughing but is actually panicking.
Asking Morax to pour him tea? That might just get him into trouble.
Zhongli didn't show much emotional fluctuation; it seemed that serving tea to others had become a habit.
Tonight, D'Artagnan came to our door again.
“Mr. Zhongli, I’ve collected some ancient books. Would you like to take a look?” Tartaglia knocked on the door of the Hall of Rebirth and saw Zhongli and Xiao sitting on one side, with Kurumi and Wendy in the middle. “Hahaha, so all my friends are here.” Tartaglia stepped into the Hall of Rebirth naturally, and Xiao’s eyes immediately changed.
He roughly knew what had happened to Lord Zhongli.
This person has been coveting Lord Zhongli for a long time. Back when Xiao was still in Dihuazhou, he often heard that the guest elders of Wangshengtang were hanging out with the young master of the Northern Bank. He tried to persuade them, but Zhongli said he didn't need to worry.
Unexpectedly, they managed to take advantage of our vulnerability!
Walnut immediately stood up and blocked D'Artagnan's path.
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
"Ding! The national tournament is about to begin. All contestants, please prepare yourselves!"
The voices echoed in Wendy's and Xiao's minds simultaneously. They exchanged a glance, and Wendy leaned closer to Xiao, resting her head on his shoulder, and sighed softly, "I was hoping to take you to Balzebub, but alas..." Xiao looked at Kurumi, whose eyes seemed to hold disbelief. Xiao whispered to Wendy, "Master Hu, it seems she was chosen too." Wendy quickly sat up and looked at Kurumi, only to find that Kurumi had already returned to normal.
With a "snap," the door to the Rebirth Hall opened again, and this time, someone stumbled in...
Door: Don't I have any pride?
"Father!" Xiao's eyes blurred as if something strange and golden flashed past him, something even the Demon-Slaying Great Sage, known for his speed, couldn't see clearly.
Upon closer inspection, ah, it's empty. As for the name, Xiao is already used to it.
"Just now, just now I heard a strange voice in my ear, saying the battlefield of national destiny... Wendy! You're here too!" Before Kong could finish speaking, he saw Wendy sitting next to Xiao.
"Traveler, wait for me..." Paimon finally arrived late.
"Hey, long time no see." Wendy chuckled, her expression somewhat grave. "So you were also chosen for the battlefield of national destiny." "Yeah, is there any way to deal with it?" Kong asked pitifully, while Paimon twisted her fingers beside Kong.
If I go to the battlefield of national destiny, will I not be able to eat good food whenever I want? Waaah, if that's the case, Paimon doesn't want to go.
Moreover, once you go to the battlefield of national destiny, you will be separated from the traveler!
Wait, Paimon, you seem to have made a mistake...
