I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

Since she'll find out sooner or later anyway, what does it matter if she finds out sooner?

Thinking of this, he instantly felt no longer guilty.

"You should go watch the news first."

Yukino Yukinoshita opened the news as instructed and found that a news story that had already been broadcast was pinned to the top.

And the number of viewers actually exceeded 100 million!

She clicked on the news article, and the host's voice immediately came through her phone.

"Now for an urgent news break."

"Due to the movement of the continental plates, a major natural disaster occurred in Country M."

"We can see that the entire country of M has been divided in two."

Fortunately, there were very few casualties in this natural disaster.

"Now, we're connecting with our reporter in Country M..."

Seeing this news and a bunch of weirdos and conspiracy theories in the comments section, she looked up at Li Xiao.

"So, why are you showing me this?"

Do you think this is a natural disaster?

"Natural disasters of this magnitude cannot result in very few casualties."

But if you hadn't shown up before, I might have overlooked these things and trusted the official explanation.

After seeing Li Xiao's display of power, Yukino Yukinoshita realized that superpowers actually exist in this world.

"I did what happened in the United States."

"You did this? Why?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked somewhat incredulous. Did he really possess such power? And why would someone with such power come looking for her?

"Because they annoyed me, I just went over and played around a bit."

"Play?"

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned, looking at him sharply.

"Just for fun, you cut the entire United States in two?"

"So you're very naive. The power to speak in this world always lies in the hands of the strong."

"Do you believe that if I asked those people in the US to promote my greatness and my justice, they would do it too?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was silent.

"So, you clearly want to change the world, but all you can do is open a ministry in this school to help others, while I can easily do everything you can't."

Your sense of justice, your ideals, are all too insignificant. Changing the world? That's nothing but your childish fantasy.

"So what!"

Yukino Yukinoshita, hearing her ideals being belittled, finally could no longer bear it.

"That was my own doing! What right do you have to judge me! I don't have your kind of power!"

She was still somewhat taken aback by what Li Xiao said.

"That's why I'm here. I can help you realize your dreams and give you the power you need!"

"I do not believe!"

"Huh? Why?"

Even if you are as strong as the news says, I don't believe you are a kind person who would help others for free!

Li Xiao clapped his hands, a smile on his face.

“That’s right, it’s not free. I also have something to ask of you.”

"what do you want?"

"I want you."

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Yukino Yukinoshita was speechless. Possessing such power, she actually wanted her? Should I admit my charm is too great?

"I know."

"Please forgive me, but I cannot accept this."

She felt that she had been quite polite in refusing.

Don't you want to realize your dreams?

Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lip and lowered her head.

"I absolutely do not agree with achieving one's ideals in this way!"

"Heh, Yukino, you're so naive. It seems your mother and sister have protected you too well, making you unable to recognize reality."

"I don't need their protection!"

She absolutely refused to admit it!

"Unfortunately, your mother and sister won't be able to protect you for much longer."

"What do you mean?"

"They didn't tell you, did they? The Yukinoshita family is facing a major crisis recently, and they won't be finished for long."

"how come?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked incredulous; she had never heard her mother or sister mention this before!

"So, how do you feel now? How do you feel about being kept in the dark about something like this by your mother and sister?"

"I……"

Yukino Yukinoshita's lips trembled, unable to utter a word.

"So... Yukino-chan, promise me you'll give me your life."

In exchange, I'll give you either the opportunity to resolve your family's crisis or the chance to uphold your beliefs.

Li Xiao extended his hand to her, his words almost impossible to refuse.

However, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately pushed his hand away.

"I do not need!"

She stared stubbornly at Li Xiao, her eyes bloodshot, her lips almost bleeding from being bitten. It seemed that such actions gave her courage.

"I will verify this with them, and if it's true, I will find a way to resolve it myself!"

Li Xiao's smile remained unchanged, but it now carried a hint of mockery.

"You want to find a solution? What solution do you have? Relying on your so-called justice? Are you even awake?"

P.S.: Why? The previous chapters all passed the review via private message, but suddenly they're down again. Did someone report them?

Sigh, from now on I'll try to make these into side stories, not count them as regular chapters.

Chapter Fifty-Four: Oh no! There's a cow!

"Are you awake?"

Yukinoshita Yukino stopped talking.

She knew very well that she couldn't solve these problems herself.

But asking her to give up something of her own...

She still held onto a sliver of hope: what if, what if Li Xiao was lying to her?

She was, after all, just a high school girl, far from mature enough. Her excellence was only relative to her peers at school.

Unlike Toyokawa Shoko, who underwent a transformation after experiencing family upheavals, turning from an innocent and kind young lady into a decisive and strong member of society.

Currently, Yukino Yukinoshita is still in a stage where she is rejected by her family, isolated by her classmates, and confused about herself.

Li Xiao saw this in her and didn't try to persuade her anymore.

"Heh, since you haven't thought it through yet, I won't say anything more. I'll come back to you, and I think you'll make a wise choice then."

After saying that, he turned into the wind and left.

Seeing that he had finally left, Yukino Yukinoshita felt a sense of relief and almost collapsed to the ground. She quickly reached out to grab the windowsill to steady herself and avoid falling.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew in from outside the window, and she felt a chill on her back. Only then did she realize that she had been sweating profusely from nervousness.

After leaving, Li Xiao also planned to go and visit his girlfriends.

He has not yet given Barbara, Irene, and Toyokawa Shoko the seeds of their own power.

We need to hurry, otherwise we might not be able to finish today if we get too caught up in the fun.

He returned to Mondstadt first, intending to satisfy his two young girlfriends there before going to see Toyokawa Shoko that evening.

Upon returning to Mondstadt, I found Barbara had just finished work and was resting in her private lounge at the Church of Favonius.

He immediately set off for the Church of the West Wind.

"Lord Li Xiao!"

When Barbara saw Li Xiao suddenly appear, she was overjoyed and rushed forward to throw herself into his arms.

Li Xiao gently kissed her.

Ugh, so spicy...
