Winter Executor, starting with a system of wronged individuals.

Paimon was also shivering from the cold. She was quite familiar with the way to Mondstadt, but she had never been to the snow-capped mountains before, and she was so cold that she was almost losing consciousness.

“It should be fine,” Ying murmured, pursing her lips. “Mr. Sandoni wouldn’t lie to me… right?”

"Ugh, I'm going to freeze into an ice cube."

Paimon hid in Ying's backpack, feeling completely unwell. Why did she only wake up in the snowy mountains? Otherwise, she could have stopped Ying from embarking on this path of no return.

Now, Ying can't touch the Statue of the Seven, so she can't awaken the wind element. This means that any primal demons on the road have to go around her, or they'll definitely be smashed to pieces.

"We'll be there soon, Paimon."

Ying's pretty face was full of determination. No matter how difficult the road was, it could not stop her from moving forward in order to find her brother!

After an unknown amount of time, Ying and Paimon finally left the snow-capped mountains. The surrounding environment became warmer, and the ground was covered with pale yellow apricot leaves.

And there are road signs that are crookedly stuck in the roadside and stand out conspicuously, with a few not-so-good-looking words engraved on them.

[Mondstadt, turn around here]

Ying stared wide-eyed, standing there dumbfounded, then turned to look at the towering snow-capped mountain in the distance and the flat path beside it.

"Sando Nie!"

Chapter 061 How bad can someone who likes white stockings really be?

In front of the fountain.

Diona tiptoed and carefully decorated the flower clusters with chrysanthemums, her cat tail swaying back and forth, showing that she was in a very good mood.

The annual Flower Festival is just around the corner, and there will definitely be a lot of adults drinking there. This way, we can punish those who love to drink with our terrible-tasting liquor!

Diona hummed a little tune as she skipped and hopped to the temporary bar to set it up. Tomorrow, this place would become the venue for the Cat's Tail Tavern's Wind and Flower Festival, where free drinks would be offered for tasting.

"so cute…"

"Eh?"

Diona quickly turned around and saw a cute girl with long silver-gray hair, who looked only slightly taller than her.

"Can I touch your tail?" Lily of the Valley's blue eyes sparkled. She had never seen such an adorable child before, and she really wanted to touch the cat's ears.

Clearly, Miss Lily of the Valley didn't realize that she could see a lovely young girl simply by standing in front of the mirror.

Standing behind Linglan, Su Ming's lips twitched slightly. Why did Linglan seem even more perverted than him? Wasn't it a bit improper to grab someone's tail right away?

Oh no! Who corrupted the little nun? They deserve to die! What if Columbia doesn't even recognize Lily of the Valley when they return to Winter?

Su Ming sighed inwardly. Could it be that even an outstanding executive with such positive energy as himself couldn't change Linglan?

As if guessing Su Ming's thoughts, Linglan quietly gave Su Ming a light tap on the foot, a sly glint in her eyes.

Su Ming's lips twitched slightly. How did this girl become like Sandone? Come to think of it, since leaving Zhidong, no one has stepped on his feet anymore. Occasionally, he still misses the days when Miss Columbia stepped on his feet.

"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Lily of the Valley, the representative of the Aurora Wine Party from Winter Solstice. I've come here specifically to discuss brewing techniques," Lily of the Valley said with a warm and enthusiastic smile. She was naturally not cold towards the adorable little Diona.

"I smelled alcohol just now. Are you a bartender, little sister?"

Lily of the Valley squatted down in front of Diona with a smile, her hands itching to touch her tail.

Diona hurriedly took a few steps back, almost exploding with rage. "What are you doing? I have a very loud voice, I can call the Knights in a minute!"

Lily of the Valley lowered her hand somewhat dejectedly. Perhaps it was because her little face was too cute that Diona had the thought, "How could such a cute face be a bad person?"

“You’re a foreign party,” Diona muttered, glancing at the masked figure behind Lily of the Valley. “It is indeed strange.”

"Then I'll reluctantly let you experience Mondstadt's bartending skills."

While Diona said this, she secretly planned to use the worst-tasting liquor to destroy these foreigners' love of drinking, so that they would never like drinking again!

"Then let's also demonstrate our winter brewing techniques."

Su Ming chuckled, walked over to Diona, and casually selected a few base spirits to prepare for mixing drinks.

Lily of the Valley's expression stiffened slightly, but she didn't say anything to stop it. Although it was not very friendly to little Diona, it was indeed good for her health.

This is the conclusion that Linglan has drawn from her experience over the past few days: although Su Ming's cooking is incredibly bad, its health benefits are indeed immediate.

So Miss Lily of the Valley chose to remain silent and gave Diona an encouraging look.

Go for it, little girl who can mix drinks! Don't let the weird older brother defeat you!

Although Diona always adheres to the philosophy of making the worst-tasting drinks, her bartending skills are undoubtedly superb. She skillfully uses various base spirits as the base flavor and adds strange ingredients to enhance it.

This time, I'll use a lizard tail with slime gel. That should definitely make these two foreigners back down and never dare to drink again!

Diona was full of confidence, and then decided to take a look at the white-clad masked man's technique. What she saw was enough to burn out the young Diona's brain.

Su Ming took out a clean white stocking, soaked it in the base liquor, and then poured the liquor into a glass.

Diona stopped thinking.

So this is what foreigners are like—terrifying!

She apologized, realized her mistake, and promised never to use those strange ingredients again!

Diona was already considering quitting. She had seen all sorts of ingredients in her years of bartending, but this was the first time she had ever seen white silk as an ingredient.

Lily of the Valley lowered her head shyly; unsurprisingly, those were the stockings she had taken off yesterday.

Su Ming is really too perverted! Who carries stockings with them every day?!

The stockings were even worn by the waiter!

Linglan silently took a half step back and walked to Diona's side, pretending not to recognize Su Ming.

She had thought that Su Ming's bartending would be just as outrageous as his cooking, but she never imagined it would be this incredible.

At least you can't put white shreds in your cooking; even if it's outrageous, it's still within the realm of food.

Su Ming finished mixing the cocktail in one smooth motion and pushed a glass of fragrant cocktail to the table. "Please enjoy. I've named this cocktail 'First White'."

It meant that it was the first time he had smelled white silk. Of course, Su Ming didn't say it, because he wasn't that kind of perverted person.

This is all the love one has for white stockings. How bad can someone who likes white stockings be? This is the hermit's value system. White stockings are eternal!

"The name sounds nice..." Diona muttered to herself, hesitating whether to drink it or not. But then she thought about it and realized that the ingredients she used to mix the drinks were also quite strange, but the taste was actually pretty good.

Perhaps the masked man in front of you is the same; his bartending method may seem incredible, but the actual taste is guaranteed.

The man in front of her was just trying to scare her away!

Diona's eyes sharpened instantly. She decisively accepted the cocktail, revealing a confident smile, as if she had seen through Su Ming's trump card.

Lily of the Valley opened her eyes wide and murmured, "I never expected Diona to be so courageous..." She herself would never have been so decisive.

Is this the awareness and confidence of a bartender?

Terrifying indeed! Truly terrifying!

Su Ming was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Diona to be so brave, which made him a little insecure. Could it be that bartending is not considered a talent?

Diona raised her glass, hesitated for a second, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Meow—?"

Diona's gaze froze instantly. Her wagging tail fell to the ground with a thud, her ears drooped limply, and her expression went from stiff to distorted before she finally lost consciousness completely.

She understood a truth.

Sometimes, wines that don't look good can also taste really bad.

However, some truths can only be understood through personal experience.

Chapter 062 What if my buttocks really get cut into four pieces?

"I don't want to drink it."

Lily of the Valley pushed the wine glass away in resistance, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.

Diona, a bartender, was knocked out by just one drink; she probably wouldn't have lasted more than one sip.

Poisoning! This is clearly blatant poisoning!

Learn to say no bravely!

We can't keep indulging Su Ming-ge like this. We need to learn to say no. If this continues, he'll be completely ruined sooner or later.

Linglan pursed her lips, revealing a pitiful expression. Not to mention men, even a stray cat passing by would feel pity upon seeing her. Who would make things difficult for such a lovely girl?

“Since you’re unwilling, I won’t force you to drink,” Su Ming sighed, tilting his head back at a 45-degree angle with a wistful look in his eyes.

"But what does it have to do with me, a hermit, if Su Ming doesn't insist?"

"Eh?"

Lily blinked, and the next second she involuntarily gulped down the entire cocktail in one go, clearly the Toy Merchant effect had kicked in.

The taste wasn't as bad as I imagined; I could only detect a faint, delicate fragrance, along with a subtle scent of snow lotus.

To put it simply, it tastes like freshly washed and dried stockings—clean and refreshing, surprisingly not bad at all.

Lily of the Valley stuck out her cute tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, saying with a hint of lingering satisfaction, "Not bad at all."

Strange, then why did you react so strongly, Diona? Compared to Su Ming's cooking, this cocktail is perfectly normal.

Linglan turned to look at Su Ming and suddenly noticed that his face had become slightly stiff, as if he had eaten something very unpalatable.

Miscalculated.

This was Su Ming's thought in an instant. After Linglan drank the cocktail, he felt a terrifying and complex taste appear on his taste buds.

Could this also be considered within the range that the Knight's Crown can absorb?

The Knight's Crown can absorb all damage, so does that mean Su Ming has screwed himself over?

No wonder this girl looked so happy; she only got to drink the good part!

Not only did I avoid the unpleasant parts of the drink, but I also enjoyed the buffs provided by my talent.

Oh no, I've bugged the Suzuran card!

"Strange, I feel warm all over," Linglan's pretty face was slightly flushed, clearly a little drunk. She smiled and hooked her arm around Su Ming's neck, boldly exhaling a breath of hot air into his ear.

"Brother Su Ming, do you think this counts as a date?" Linglan's smile was crisp, and her clear blue eyes held a hint of mystery.
