Seeing that she could barely speak clearly, I had no choice but to speak in a commanding tone:
"Noelle, sit down and eat."
"Yes!" Noel stood up straight instantly and responded loudly.
Then, he hurriedly and stiffly sat down in his seat and began to eat mechanically.
Li Xiao shook his head, refrained from provoking her further, and turned back to continue talking with the others.
Soon, the banquet was drawing to a close. Seeing that Noelle was still lost in thought, Li Xiao spoke to the piano:
"Jin, can Noelle come with me from now on? She seems a bit too enthusiastic towards people, which isn't good. I can also teach her a lesson."
Are you trying to lecture others? I'm almost embarrassed to say anything to you!
He ignored the system's complaints; after all, he was the Wind God now! As long as he was careful, he could do whatever he wanted in Mondstadt!
If he weren't only focused on collecting the main characters, given his current status, he could have already chosen so-called "serving nuns" at the West Wind Church for a massive singing party.
"Your guidance? Well, I'm also a little worried about the child. But it would be best to ask for her opinion on this matter."
He didn't say anything upon hearing this, but simply walked up to Noelle, patted her on the shoulder, and brought her back to her senses.
Noelle, did you hear what we just said?
"Eh? Lord Li Xiao! I'm sorry, I was just spacing out."
Noelle felt that she had acted very strangely today, having drifted off into her own thoughts several times, especially in front of the Wind God and the leader of the Jean.
"It's nothing. I just told Commander Qin that I wanted you to be my personal maid. I wonder what you think?"
"Me? Can I really do it?"
Noelle was a little shocked. This was the Wind God! How could someone who hadn't even become a formal knight be qualified to be his personal maid?
"It seems you agree. Then it's settled. You can start working here tomorrow."
"Oh? Okay! Where is the location? What kind of work do you need?"
"Hmm..." Li Xiao then realized that he hadn't had a place to stay during his stay in Mondstadt; he had been staying in hotels all day.
Qin also remembered this matter, so she spoke up:
"Li Xiao... Li Xiao, I own a villa that I can give to you, but it hasn't been lived in for a long time and might need some cleaning. How about I arrange other accommodations for you tonight?"
Qin originally wanted to address Li Xiao as Lord, but remembering his previous words, she ended up calling him by his name.
"Then Lord Li Xiao, please come to my house tonight! I have a spare room!"
Barbara jumped out, grabbed Li Xiao's hand, looked up at him with longing.
“But…” Qin hesitated.
"It's alright! Commander Qin, I will take good care of Lord Li Xiao!"
That's not what I'm worried about! I'm worried about you!
Qin rubbed her forehead and said with a hint of helplessness, "Alright then, Li Xiao can stay at your place tonight."
It's hard to imagine that Li Xiao, being the God of Wind, could have gotten involved with Barbara in just one night.
Li Xiao nodded, then turned to look at Noelle.
"Well then, Noelle, I'll give you your first task! Clean up that house that Commander Jean mentioned. I'll check it when I get back tomorrow at noon."
"Yes! Please leave it to me with confidence!"
Hearing that it was cleaning, which was something she was good at, Noelle agreed with a confident look on her face.
"Then, Lord Li Xiao, shouldn't we go home now?"
Barbara linked arms with Li Xiao, looked up at him, her face slightly flushed and her eyes moist.
Wow~ Why is Barbara so alluring right now?
She seems to have confused faith with infatuation.
Hmm? But Barbara isn't the type to seduce others, is she?
Have you forgotten that Barbara just had a drink?
After learning the reason why Barbara had become like this, he spoke with a righteous expression:
"Elbow, let's go home!"
P.S.: The next chapter didn't pass the review, so I've put it in the long review section.
Chapter Twenty-Three: Barbara's Ice Cream is Sweet
Li Xiao and Barbara walked hand in hand down the street, just like a couple.
Barbara was actually somewhat sobered up by the slight breeze of the night.
She felt shy and wanted to pull her hand away from Li Xiao's arm, but she was afraid that Li Xiao would be angry, so she gave up.
This has caused her face to become increasingly red, even more so than before after drinking alcohol.
Looking at Barbara's adorable expression and her rosy cheeks, Li Xiao couldn't resist pinching her cheek.
"Ugh~ Eek~"
Barbara was caught off guard and let out a few cute cries, but after realizing what was happening, she didn't push Li Xiao's hand away, but silently endured it.
Seeing this, Li Xiao pressed his advantage. He leaned closer and whispered in Barbara's ear:
"Barbara, I want to kiss you, is that okay?"
"Eh?!"
Barbara was somewhat resistant, yet also somewhat expectant. In the end, she simply looked up at him with slightly moist eyes, remaining silent.
Sensing this silent invitation, Li Xiao looked around and found that no one else was there.
(Edited here)
On this deserted street, Li Xiao tasted Barbara's lips several times before letting her go amidst her pleas for mercy.
Seeing the large amount of pink aura constantly emanating from Barbara, he was puzzled as to why so much was appearing at once and asked the system in his mind.
This means that part of Barbara's faith in you has transformed into love. To Barbara now, you are both her deity and her lover.
Can faith be transformed into love?
There's nothing strange about it; love is inherently a process of constantly deifying the other person, which can be considered a kind of alternative belief.
Is that so? Li Xiao nodded in satisfaction upon receiving the answer. As expected of Doraemon, he really knows a lot.
Then he took the still somewhat dazed Barbara's hand and continued walking towards her house.
Upon arriving at Barbara's house, he immediately picked her up in a princess carry and asked where her room was, revealing his treacherous intentions.
Barbara buried her head in Li Xiao's arms, not daring to look at him, but she didn't object. She stretched her finger out from his arms and pointed in a direction.
Li Xiao flew over directly, opened the door, put Barbara on the bed, and prepared to start making a delicious stir-fried abalone.
"Please wait a minute, I... I haven't showered yet." Barbara pushed his chest.
Li Xiao looked at his white silk-clad feet.
"It's okay, I just like plain ice cream!"
After saying that, he picked up the ice cream he had been wanting to try for a long time and began to savor it carefully.
"Ugh~ Don't do that, it's a little itchy and it's dirty."
Barbara felt a little embarrassed seeing Li Xiao do this.
"No, I can vouch for you. Your ice cream is sweet, and it's addictive!"
Upon hearing these embarrassing words, Barbara blushed and turned her head to the side, tacitly approving of Li Xiao's actions.
... (ten thousand words omitted here)
After Barbara's wrestling, tumbling, and biting, Li Xiao finally gave up and stopped bothering Barbara, allowing the exhausted Barbara to get a good night's sleep.
The next morning, Li Xiao got up early, took a shower, and went out to buy breakfast for Barbara. After all, Barbara had indeed exerted herself quite a bit the day before.
When he got home after buying breakfast, he found Barbara had just finished showering and was drying her hair. He looked at Barbara, and a thought crossed his mind, so he went over and hugged her from behind.
Feeling the large hand caress her, Barbara blushed and said, "Please stop, Lord Li Xiao, I just finished taking a bath."
"Just call me Li Xiao. We're already in this relationship, why be so formal?"
"I understand... Li Xiao."
Li Xiao thought that since it was Barbara's first time, he didn't bother her anymore. After they finished breakfast together, he told Barbara to rest well at home today and then went out by herself.
He even invited Eileen out today, who knows, he might just win her over like Barbara did!
When he arrived at the training ground, he found that Eileen was already waiting for him.
Eileen wasn't wearing her usual casual clothes today; instead, she was unusually dressed in a white dress. She wore brown high-top boots with white cotton socks underneath, giving her a pure yet vibrant look.
She had made the Eye of God into a necklace, which she wore around her neck, and she also wore light makeup. She seemed to be looking forward to her date today.
"Eileen!"
Li Xiao called her name as he ran quickly towards her.
When he got closer, he put his hands on his knees, panting slightly, as if he had just rushed over.
The naive Eileen didn't notice anything amiss. She quickly helped him up and said reproachfully, "Don't be in such a hurry. I'm not going to run away."
"I was worried that you'd get impatient and angry."
Eileen put her hands on her hips and said with a hint of helplessness, "Honestly, I could wait here for you all day and I wouldn't be angry with you."
Woman, thy name is Lies! How could I not be angry after waiting a whole day? How could he be so stupid?
Where should we go to play now?
