Uncle An made a couple of complaints, said goodbye to Fang Xun, and left.

Fang Xun pushed open the library door and went inside.

As the door opened, a rich aroma of books and ink wafted out.

Unlike the brightly lit Knights' Hall, the library's lighting was deliberately dimmed, making it appear somewhat darker.

Two warm yellow crystal chandeliers were placed in the center, and kerosene lamps were placed in the niches.

Simply by adjusting the lighting, a strong reading atmosphere can be created.

At this moment, the entire library was empty and silent.

Fang Xun felt that it was because he had arrived too early; the librarian, Lisa, had not yet started work.

Just as he was about to leave, a woman's voice came from behind him.

"Sweetie, you can come and go freely in the Mondstadt Library, but it's best to knock before you come in,"

"Otherwise, if we stumble upon something we shouldn't see, that would be troublesome."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xun subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.

He saw Lisa, one of the three legendary racing stars.

Today, Lisa is wearing a purple witch's hat, a purple dress that has been partially altered from a cheongsam, and a white silk blouse.

The golden rose tied around her waist had a unique charm.

Her long, fair, and smooth legs were particularly eye-catching, accentuated by the black stockings.

Lisa isn't yet a glamorous and mature woman, but this outfit instantly elevates her aura, making her captivating with every smile and gesture.

"Hmm? So you're a guest from out of town."

At that moment, Lisa saw Fang Xun's face clearly through the candlelight.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lisa, and I am the librarian here."

"Sweetie, what are you looking for here? Maybe I can help you find it."

...

Sorry I'm late, everyone get some rest.

Chapter 319 A Genius Witch Once in Two Hundred Years

In response to Lisa's question, Fang Xun got straight to the point: "I'm looking for books about this pattern."

As he spoke, he showed the 'burning hourglass' to Lisa.

Lisa glanced at the hourglass and answered without hesitation, "What you want is on the leftmost bookshelf downstairs, the third row from the bottom..."

As he finished speaking, Fang Xun subconsciously glanced at the library behind Lisa.

This place contains at least a thousand books, yet Lisa can pinpoint their exact location with just a glance at the illustrations.

This shows that she knows everything about the library.

As expected of a genius witch who appears only once every two hundred years, her memory is truly unmatched by ordinary people.

At this moment, Lisa casually teased, "Sweetie, I never expected you to be interested in 'The Witch's Code'."

"As far as I know, no one has borrowed this book from the Mond Library in nearly a hundred years, and you are the first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xun was slightly stunned.

He had no idea that the book he was looking for would be "The Witch's Code," a book that sounded so strange.

However, Fang Xun did not reveal the treasure map, but simply laughed it off.

"I just suddenly became interested in witches, so I wanted to borrow some books about them to read."

"Oh? You're interested in witches?"

"There's a witch right here. How would you like to learn about her?"

Lisa stepped forward, leaning slightly forward.

Those breathtakingly beautiful eyes stared straight at Fang Xun, their teasing undisguised.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Go find the book you want."

"I'm still a little sleepy, I'm going to take a nap now."

"Oh, yes."

Lisa seemed to suddenly remember something and added something.

"Sweetie, even though it's just the two of us in the library, we should still know when to stop."

"Your expression is so cute. Is there a misunderstanding? As a librarian, it's my responsibility to remind you to take good care of the books."

Watching Lisa's departing figure, Fang Xun suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

They say three women can put on a show, but what if they were three racing champions?

He couldn't even imagine what that scene would be like.

I'm afraid even the wheels will fly away.

...

Before long, Fang Xun walked to the bookshelf based on the information provided by Lisa and successfully found "The Witch's Code".

When Fang Xun saw the book's cover, he knew he had come to the right place.

Because the cover of "The Witch's Code" is a 'burning hourglass'.

The next steps are much simpler.

Simply match the numbers on the treasure map with the contents of the book to find clues to the treasure.

However, Fang Xun did not intend to return to the hotel. Instead, he sat down at his desk and began to peruse the contents of the book.

Because once he gets back, the kids will definitely pester him to go out and play, and he won't be able to get anything done.

Let's just finish what we need to do at the library first.

The entire library was quiet, with only the occasional rustling of pages turning.

Just then, Fang Xun heard the sound of high heels coming from upstairs.

He subconsciously looked up and saw Lisa slowly walking towards him.

"Sweetie, why don't you sit here and read a book, and cover my shift while you're at it?"

"On duty?"

Fang Xun thought to himself, "I came here to read books, how did this get involved with being on duty?"

Lisa pretended not to notice Fang Xun's surprise and continued, "I'm going to take a nap. You can be the temporary librarian for a while."

"Actually, it's nothing serious. I just need someone to wake me up."

Hearing this, Fang Xun finally understood: Lisa was planning to slack off at work.

Mondstadt truly lives up to its reputation as a free city; you can see people slacking off everywhere.

However, Lisa was quite carefree, actually letting a complete stranger from another place help her with the shift.

"You don't even know who I am, yet you dare to ask me to cover your shift?"

"Don't be afraid, girl, I'm not a good person."

Fang Xun used a joking tone to scare Lisa.

Lisa shook her head upon hearing this: "I wasn't afraid at all, because you don't look bad."

"Besides, bad guys would target something like the group leader's office, not the library."

"Even if the Mondstadt Library is destroyed one day, it doesn't matter."

"Because all those books are perfectly preserved in my head, it's only a matter of time before I can retrieve them."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xun finally understood that Lisa wasn't carefree; rather, she had analyzed the situation thoroughly.

She had foreseen all the possible outcomes before making the decision.

Lisa paused, then continued, "Of course, there's one more crucial point,"

"The entire Knights of Favonius are talking about you now, saying you're a great hero,"

"In that case, what else do I have to worry about?"

Fang Xun was taken aback: "Discussing me?"

Lisa nodded gently: "Everyone knows that you saved Anne, and Anne has a pretty good opinion of you."

"He's a proud and arrogant person, and he's never praised anyone before. You're the first one."

"Fang Xun, a guest from Liyue, has many children at home..."

As Lisa slowly recounted her story, Fang Xun suddenly realized that Lisa had known his identity all along.

No wonder Lisa didn't ask his name when they first met; she already knew it.

"Then, great hero, would you do me the honor of helping me with this?"

Lisa stared intently into Fang Xun's eyes, her mature and alluring voice captivating.

"Alright," Fang Xun nodded, agreeing.

Anyway, he's sitting here reading; being on duty is just something he does incidentally.

"Thank you so much! I'll reward you properly after I wake up."

Lisa didn't stand on ceremony with Fang Xun; after speaking, she simply lay down on the table next to her and went to sleep.

She seems to be a habitual slacker, knowing exactly how to sleep comfortably on her desk.

Her slender, fair arms served as a pillow; her pretty face was serene and elegant; her long eyelashes fluttered gently.

Her chestnut-brown hair wasn't tied up, but rather cascaded freely over her shoulders, exuding a faint fragrance of roses.

Despite her young age, Lisa uses a mature-yet-sophisticated perfume, clearly determined to stick to her "older sister" image.
