Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

"Let's start with Dixia. Although she comes from the desert, the desert is also part of Sumeru."

"The fierce and valiant Lion with a fiery mane!"

"A fiery lion of integrity and passion!"

"Brave but not reckless, strong but not arrogant."

"From now on, Dixia will be in charge of the defense of Sumeru City."

Are you all not at ease?

Upon hearing this, Nilu, Laiira, and the others all looked at Dixia beside them.

The other person had a very dashing head of long, black-gold hair, delicate features, and honey-colored skin that shimmered under the light.

Her rather unconventional attire perfectly accentuates her athletic and well-proportioned figure, and you can even see her V-line at the waist with every breath. But putting everything else aside, her heroic and bold temperament gives people a great sense of security.

However, Dixia herself put her hands on her hips and snorted: "Don't make decisions on your own. I didn't agree with your idea!"

Gu Jing's lips curled into a smirk, not going to indulge her: "Then you can leave now and watch the desert be completely swallowed up by the rainforest."

"Living a miserable existence in endless regret..."

"Let me slowly live out my remaining years."

As he spoke, he gestured for her to leave, which made Dixia clench her fists in anger, but Nilu, who was beside her, pulled her back.

Her icy blue eyes were fixed on Gu Jing's smiling face.

Dixia finally held back: "I can agree to your conditions, but I also have two conditions!"

Gu Jing raised an eyebrow: "It's really hard to understand. Appointing you as the first female general of the era of human rule in Sumeru is a good thing for you and the entire desert, right? And there are conditions? And two conditions at that?"

"Desia, Desia."

"Although I still admire you quite a bit."

"But don't you think you're being a bit too forward?"

"but..."

"Tell me about it."

"I'd like to hear what your conditions are."

Upon hearing this, Nasita and the others, who were still confused, looked at Dixia again, completely unable to understand why these two seemed to be about to fight on their first meeting.

But Dixia couldn't help but sneer: "Stop talking nonsense! You're the one who provoked me first!"

"If calling someone a 'desert troublemaker' behind their back can be considered appreciation!"

"Then I really can't accept your admiration!"

"Heh~tui!"

"..."

Looking at Dixia, who was spitting at him while talking.

He clicked his tongue.

Gu Jing, who was being scolded, was naturally not going to let her get away with it: "Your words are really infuriating, but you better wait a minute! When did I ever say behind your back that you, Dixia, are a desert scoundrel?"

Dixia was amused by his words: "Fine! You dare to say it but not admit it, huh? Well, let me remind you! When you first saw the Little Lucky Grass King, didn't you keep calling him a desert scoundrel in your diary?"

Gu Jing, recalling this incident, was equally amused and exasperated: "Yes! I did say that! But when the hell did I name names?"

"You unlucky idiot, you're blaming me for taking this personally?"

"What the hell does this have to do with me?"

"I really think you're a scoundrel from the desert."

Why would I still contact you now?

"Is that the 'DunDun Peach' you're carrying on your shoulder?"

Where's the brain?

"It got eaten by a dog, didn't it?"

After being bombarded with his barrage of insults, Dixia's momentum noticeably diminished.

But... what happened before was a misunderstanding, and now he's really giving her a thorough dressing-down. How can Dixia possibly tolerate this?

"Yes, yes, yes! You've eaten my brain, you bastard!"

"You'll get a punch from me, you bastard!"

******

With sparks flashing on her fist, Dixia leaped up and punched Gu Jing.

However, the female-shaped demonic armor also formed in the air, not only supporting Dixia from the left and right, but also pressing her firmly against the palace. When she tried to get up, it even raised its hand and knocked her unconscious.

This unexpected scene left Elhesen and the others present with subtle expressions; they couldn't win a fight, nor could they win an argument.

Desia!

awful!

Looking around, Gu Jing smiled faintly: "You all saw it, right? This woman's head is spinning. I'm letting her calm down."

As he spoke, he looked at Dolly and said, "Lord Sango Mahabay, with your intelligence and abilities, you would already be a Seven Star in Liyue."

"I'm putting you in charge of the commercial development of Sumeru."

What do you think?

Dolly, with her loli-like figure, nodded with a fawning smile: "Hehe~ Your Majesty is wise and mighty! Of course, I, Dolly, have no objections."

Gu Jing's lips curled into a smirk: "That's good. But selling inferior goods as superior ones is something only unscrupulous merchants do. We can't let this happen in the future of the Xumi business circle, otherwise there will be no integrity, and integrity is the foundation of business. What do you think?"

"Of course!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

"Dolly, I will absolutely never do this again!"

Stared at by him with a half-smile, Dolly instinctively adjusted her small sunglasses, cold sweat pouring down her back.

Things went much more smoothly after that.

Even Elhesen.

He's very pragmatic, isn't he?

Nobody present wanted to 'calm down' with Dixia!

Besides, this is a good thing in itself!

At most, I feel uncertain about the era of rule by man.

However, the three deities present—the Holy King, the Tree King, and the Grass God—all expressed their support, so as a Sumeru being, I naturally wouldn't object.

However, to be honest, when they learned that the grass slime in Nasita's arms was the resurrected Tree King, Seno and the others were also shocked. When they looked at Gu Jing, who was able to resurrect the Tree King, Elhesen and the others felt more confident!

PS: The picture shows Dixia.

Chapter 113 [Young Girl] Columbia! A doting mother spoils her child!

That evening, Gu Jing also received the delegation of fools at Jingshan Palace, and as before, he prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Aside from the different dishes and the fact that the hostesses had changed from Aying and Shenzi to Nashida and Tree King Slime, the lavish feast and the presence of Yingmei and Paimon sitting on the side were exactly the same as last time!

At least, Arecino was genuinely very satisfied; even a woman known for nitpicking couldn't find anything to complain about.

However, the Fools' delegation had two more people, Sandone and Columbia, and all the female executives were present!

And let me tell you—all four female executives are more beautiful than flowers.

Wearing a white mesh mask, Columbia is petite with a pure and innocent face. Her innocent smile seems to cleanse the soul, and at first glance, she appears to be a harmless and innocent girl.

Arecino is neatly dressed, dignified, elegant, and polite. However, with her X-shaped pupils, her overall temperament exudes a sense of eccentricity and madness, making her an absolutely elegant madwoman!

Sandone, codenamed Puppet, is a petite woman sitting on the hand of a giant autonomous machine, wearing a Bonnet. Gu Jing doesn't know much about her, but she seems very interested in him, and her gaze towards him is tinged with fervor.

Presumably... it was the humanoid demon armor that piqued her interest.

Finally, of course, it was Rosalyn. After nearly a month apart, this woman had become much calmer. Although she would still give him an ugly, sullen look when their eyes met, her mature and charming aura still made his heart burn.

******

After a brief introduction, they began to eat. The person in charge of the negotiations was still Arecino, who smiled politely at Gu Jing.

He spoke slowly and deliberately, "It's been a while, Mr. Gu Jing. You're even more charming than before. But I know you prefer a straightforward communication style, so... shall we get straight to the point this time?"

Gu Jing smiled knowingly upon hearing this: "Aregino is indeed very eloquent. Getting straight to the point is certainly best, but..."

"I'd like to have a chat with Columbia today."

Arecino remained noncommittal, but smiled and stared at him for a while with interest before nodding slightly in agreement: "Please go ahead."

Gu Jing's gaze also fell on the black-haired girl sitting next to Arecino, who wore a white mesh mask over her eyes: "Miss Columbia, you shouldn't mind, right?"

"That--"

What would you like to talk to me about?

With a drawn-out tone, Columbia spoke in a calm and unhurried manner.

I was being stared at by her pure eyes.

Gu Jing's smile remained unchanged: "How about we talk about Miss Columbia's personal hobbies? I'm quite curious about you."

"Hobby?"

The black-haired girl smiled as if she had just thought of something: "Does singing count?"

"Of course it counts."

Gu Jing smiled and pressed further, "But do you simply enjoy singing, or do you use singing to express your emotions?"

The feather ornament on her head swayed slightly, and Columbia answered with a smile without hesitation, "Yes, I like both. I like beautiful songs and songs that express emotions."

"Oh? What kind of songs does Miss Columbia like? Could you sing a few?"
