Jue Xi looked at Amber and said.
"Um, a friend of mine wants to have dinner with you tonight..."
"Huh? Amber, the friend you're talking about isn't yourself, is it?"
"No, really no, it's my colleague named Yura."
Juexi expressed doubt.
"I don't think I have much interaction with her."
“We often work together and are good friends. She wanted to come to my house these past two days, but I refused. I usually don’t refuse her. This time, as soon as she asked me, I told her that we live together and she wanted to talk to you.”
Amber said shyly
"Ah, I see. She wants to come and live with you because I'm here when she can't, and she also heard I'm a man and wants to see me because she's afraid I might have ulterior motives towards you?"
"No, don't think too much about it. Yura is a very nice person. Okay, okay, if you don't like it, I'll refuse it for you. That's all I wanted to say. Juexi, what were you trying to say?"
"Well, I've made a little money from taking on some jobs these past few days. I was thinking of paying you back and then moving out. It's not good for you if a single man and woman live together. Also, about that Yura thing, I can help you explain our relationship so she won't overthink it."
"Oh dear, the food I made is going to burn. I've been talking too much. I'm going to check the pot."
After Amber finished speaking, she hurriedly ran to the kitchen, though it was unclear whether she was truly flustered because of the food.
Amber stared at the pot... her thoughts drifting off somewhere else.
"A man and a woman alone... in a room... no, no, Amber, what are you thinking? We're not alone in a room."
……
"Host, I think you are a truly sinful person."
"What can I do..."
After a while, during dinner
"Um, Amber..."
Sensing a strange, heavy atmosphere at the dining table, Juexi couldn't help but speak first.
"What, what's wrong?"
"Amber said in a panic."
Do you remember the first time we met when I came to Mondstadt?
"Of course, you were starving back then, right? Why are you suddenly bringing this up with me?"
"I'm not actually here for tourism, I'm here to see my girlfriend."
"Ah, girlfriend?!"
Amber looked shocked.
"Juexi, you have a girlfriend."
Amber seemed unable to accept it for a moment, speaking softly.
"Amber?" Juexi called her softly.
"Ah! I wasn't thinking about that. Wait, Juexin, where is your girlfriend?"
"Um, she went missing. I've been looking for her. I found her in Mondstadt. I'm not from Liyue either. I'm really sorry for lying to you at first."
"It's okay, she's missing. I'll keep an eye out for her. I understand how it feels to lose someone important."
"Amber is so understanding. So why doesn't Amber have a boyfriend?"
Suddenly, Jue Xi felt playful and jokingly asked Amber a question.
Amber jumped to her feet.
"I'm full, I'm leaving now. Juexi, don't forget to come to the deer hunters this afternoon."
After Amber finished speaking, she turned and left without looking back.
"No, are all women this fickle? I was just joking, why did I suddenly get angry?"
Jue Xi was completely confused.
"Host, you're a total scumbag."
"Huh? Don't try to frame someone out of thin air."
After Amber left, Juexi quickly ate a few mouthfuls of food, cleaned up the dishes and kitchen, cleaned her temporary room, put Mora on the table, and turned to leave.
"Is this a good idea? Amber will miss you even more."
"Then what should I do? Leave no regrets before I die? Tear the house down before I go? Hahaha."
Jue Xi answered the system jokingly.
"You're the kind of person who deserves to die the most in the anime you've ever watched."
Chapter 32 Favor
"There's no other way, I have a great system here, it gave me incredibly powerful abilities."
Jue Xi, who could only confide in this system, was becoming more and more accustomed to arguing with it.
"I really don't understand you, host. What are you going to do now?"
the system asked.
"No, buddy, are you a system or a butler? You manage everything. I'm looking for a place to stay and waiting for your daily update. By the way, if Kiana comes here, will time stop over in Honkai?"
"Normally, one day in Teyvat takes ten days in the Honkai world, but when Kiana, the variable, enters Teyvat, time in the Honkai world will stop."
"This is good news."
After leaving Amber's house, Juexi arrived at the Mondstadt Hotel and rented a decent room. Having paid a month's rent in Mora, she was now practically penniless again. Oh no, she'd promised to treat Wendy to drinks; she should have asked Rosalind for some money. She'd overstepped her bounds and hadn't taken any.
"Is there any way for the system to let me see Rosalyn?"
"Host, do you still remember what power you used to get rich?"
"Domination?"
"Anyone whose powers (elemental power) have been plundered by the host can be dragged into the Domination Theater at any time within 24 hours, as long as the host wants."
"Wow, this is so convenient."
Juexi, driven by her dominance, pulled Rosalind into the Dominance Theater.
"Is there a problem?"
Rosalyn, on the other side, was briefly dizzy before realizing what had happened, and coldly asked Juexi.
"Don't be so heartless. You're leaving Mondstadt? What are your plans?"
You can't just ask for money directly; you have to try to get closer to her. With that in mind, Juexi asked the "lady".
"Mu Juexi, do you want to know my next move? Are you afraid I have bad intentions? With your strength, you don't need to know so much. I can't threaten you."
The lady thought Juexi still doubted her and explained impatiently.
"Hey, we became friends after a fight, I'm just showing concern for my friend."
"Mu Juexi... what exactly do you want? Why did you suddenly drag me into this strange place just to say this?"
The lady truly didn't understand the man's thought process. He was incredibly strong, yet he acted all polite and honest, but his heart was darker than anyone else's.
"Ahem, um, 'Madam,' do you have Mora?"
"..."
Time seemed to stand still for three seconds before Rosalind spoke.
"Are you serious?"
"I'm serious."
"You really want me to keep you as a sugar daddy?"
Rosalyn makes a surprising statement
"What are you talking about! I have a girlfriend."
Rosalyn, upon hearing the word "girlfriend," somehow mustered the courage to mock him.
"Oh, so you have a girlfriend? What if she finds out you and I are secretly seeing each other..."
"Okay, is this alright?"
Asking for money is so embarrassing! Why can Zhongli be so shameless as to ask for money? Is it because the "young master" is easy to talk to, but the "madam" is so rude? I clearly showed my strength too.
Rosalind smiled and thought, "This guy's strength is terrifying, but his mentality is like a little boy's. What was that expression he was making just now? Could it be that he's still...?"
"what are you thinking!"
Jue Xi sensed that Rosalin was looking at her with ill intent and immediately spoke.
"nothing."
Rosalind withdrew her gaze, pulled a wallet from a strange place, and tossed it over.
This action shocked Juexi. She didn't react in time and didn't reach out to catch it. The wallet hit her face... Embarrassing.
"What? Are you stunned?"
Rosalyn laughed as she watched Juexi blush earlier, while Juexi replied somewhat embarrassedly.
"Rosalyn, you're insane."
"You're not a guy, are you?"
Rosalyn reached this conclusion after her earlier probing.
"How dare you say that to me? You old woman, you're not one."
"Hmph, you old codger have no right to talk to me like that. Here's the money, let me go back."
Not giving her most precious thing to Rustan was the greatest regret of her life. Rosalin knew she couldn't beat Juexi after hearing her words, and getting angry was useless, so she simply didn't want to talk to Juexi anymore and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Me? Old man? Rosalyn, you've got it all wrong. I'm only twenty, a young man. I won't take this for nothing; consider it a favor I owe you. When you want to see me, just shout, 'All-knowing and all-powerful, respected Lord Juexi, please come and help me!' and I'll appear to help you. How about that? Wasn't the money well spent?"
"I would rather……"
