A certain divine mouth floating in the air put its hands on its hips with a smug look on its face: "Hmph~ Now you know how powerful Gu Jing is, right?"

"Hehe~ Of course I've always been very clear about it."

"Otherwise, how would you treat others?"

"I don't have that kind of good temper."

At this point, Arecino smiled and looked at Gu Jing: "But speaking of which, I thought Mr. Gu Jing was going to set off from the desert."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jing, who had his arms crossed, smiled and shook his head: "Won't we be eating a mouthful of sand if we set off from the desert?"

"Although I don't mind suffering, I never thought of going out of my way to suffer."

"As for the unfinished work in the desert?"

"I don't need to get involved at all."

Apep, the Zhenling Clan, the Hualing Clan, the Red King's Tomb... these are all major commissions.

But compared to him, who can draw on the power of the abyss to strengthen himself, his friends and family actually need the raw stones to draw lots more. Besides, they can get 20% of the commission without him having to do it himself, so why not?

It's worth mentioning Dixia. Since clearing up the misunderstanding with him, this woman has become quite magnanimous. Not only is she willing to work for him and take on commissions, but she also brought Candice along, saying that working together as best friends makes the work easier.

Moreover, because they share a similarly bold personality, this guy also became good friends with Big Sister Beidou.

Now they have also taken Gu Jing's advice.

Prepare to gather strength, clear out the entire desert, unite this scattered sand, and completely integrate it into Sumeru, so that there will be no more distinction between rainforest people and desert people in the Sumeru region, and only one unified name: Sumeru people!

But then again—

Upon arriving in Fontaine, Arecino and the lady were determined to obtain the Heart of God.

However, they were unaware of Gu Jing's plans at this time. They were particularly concerned about his intention to leave this world. This was not because they were reluctant to part with him, but because they were worried that he would run away with the Heart of God, causing Zhi Dong's plan to fall through.

So we discussed it all night last night, and the final conclusion was—to make a bet!

The gamble begins with determining who will possess the Heart of the Water God!

And he used himself as a bargaining chip!

Gu Jing lost, and he has to give them the three divine hearts: Thunder, Grass, and Water.

Gu Jing won! Not only will the Heart of God be willing to serve him as their master from now on!

"Pfft~ You guys really have a good plan."

"Winning means taking everything."

"Even if we lose, it's not a complete loss, right?"

"and..."

How can you guarantee that?

"Is your allegiance truly genuine?"

Yingmei couldn't help but interject, but even Paimon, after Yingmei's reminder, saw through Arecino and the lady's scheme. This gamble looked like (Wang Qian's) do-or-die move, after all, Gu Jing took away the Heart of God, and Zhi Dong's plan was thus thwarted.

It's understandable that Arecino and the lady would want to find a more stable source of support.

However, just as Yingmei said.

Who can guarantee that these two guys are being sincere?

Besides... it seems that Gu Jing and Ms. don't get along particularly well.

To this-

Rosalind, who always looked down on people.

Her face had an "believe it or not" look on it, and she handled that arrogant attitude with complete confidence.

Arecino, on the other hand, knows how to speak plainly: "Heh~ on this point, we actually have no way to prove ourselves."

"But that's just how it is."

"If Mr. Gu Jing were to leave this world with the heart of God."

"Our plan would then be impossible to carry out."

"As for betrayal?"

"That's really not even a question."

"The relationship between our executives and the Queen is more of a partnership."

"If we lose our common goal."

"Cooperation would be out of the question."

"Based on this, I turned to serve Mr. Gu Jing."

"In Liyue parlance, this should be called—'A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on in a valley.'"

PS: The picture shows Arecino.

Chapter 119 Arrival at Porto Fontainebleau! The Lady's Thoughts!

Hailu Harbor is built where the water flows and large ships meet. The magnificent and vast waterfall is breathtaking, attracting many tourists and merchants. However, the noise of the waterfall completely drowns out the sounds of people inside the harbor.

The towering lighthouse, hundreds of meters high, serves as the elevator, and even with its help, it still takes quite a while to reach the top of the waterfall.

At the top of the lighthouse, there happens to be a statue of the seven gods of the water god, and Yingmei certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to unlock new powers.

"When you come to Fontainebleau, you should definitely take a ride on the cruise ship."

“My dearest Rosalyn.”

"How about you go and buy the boat tickets?"

Upon hearing this, the woman crossed her arms and scoffed, "Tch~ From the first time we met until now, you still want to spend my Mora?"

Gu Jing, who was amused by the taste, also smiled and gave a thumbs up: "I have to admit, Aunt Rosalyn's Mora is really fragrant."

"Humph~"

Letting out a disgruntled hum to express her dissatisfaction, the woman swayed her plump hips as she walked toward the ticket office on the platform.

However, this familiar address also reminded her of many things. On the night they first met, that bastard did more than just treat her as a pillow.

He knew exactly how many moles she had, where they were located, where she had tattoos, and what her sensitive areas were!

But he made it clear that he was afraid of being bothered by her, so he only asked her to cooperate a little. Otherwise, why would she have to change her clothes again the next morning?

And to be honest, after witnessing Gu Jing's growing achievements firsthand, and recalling his completely restrained behavior that night...

Rosalyn actually felt a certain pride she didn't want to admit—no matter how much these vile women fought over it, she was the one who truly got the first taste!

In this current gamble, Arecino's true thoughts are unknown, but she is certainly sincere.

To put it bluntly, her pride wouldn't allow her to back down, but if there were a way out, she would actually be willing to take it.

Moreover—when she set up this bet, she actually felt that she was deliberately giving it away for nothing!

680 However, for some reason, this kid was worried about something, and he didn't agree on the spot, saying he needed to think about it.

Tsk~ Could it be that Arecino made him wary?

It couldn't be her, could it?

Honestly, she felt that she was somewhat hypocritical, having been bullied by him time and time again, yet still eagerly coming back to him. Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine—she hadn't missed a single one of them along the way!

Besides, this guy's evaluation of her was "Barbara, driven to a dead end by fate".

To be honest, she had followed Barbara before, and she really resembled her when she was young—both were so innocent and carefree, and loved to sing.

Although she herself could never go back, given this assessment, Rosalyn didn't think she could be feared by Gu Jing.

To paraphrase what this guy once said—he was already being very lenient by not directly confronting her.

However, after several encounters with him, she also discovered a fact: she was, to some extent, somewhat passive.

The tougher Gu Jing's attitude was towards her, the more excited she became!

In the end, she could only be dragged by him to do all sorts of things against her will—forced to be his pillow, forced to eat tricolor dumplings, forced to have his children, and ultimately forced to become a useless woman who only knew how to be a good wife and mother!

And this bet was made because I felt completely cornered by him, with no way out, which is why I thought of making the bet.

And isn't making bets something Gu Jing has always been doing with her?

But is there anyone in this world who can snatch the Heart of God from Gu Jing?

Obviously not!

That's why I said it was given away for free!

Even though it started out as a freebie, things still didn't go smoothly!

So it was Arecino who was holding her back after all?

While pondering, Rosalyn calmly arrived at the ticket counter, intentionally giving Gu Jing room to perform. She patiently waited in line, her attention involuntarily drawn to Gu Jing's live stream.

******

At this moment, Gu Jing had already pulled Arecino to the corner of the platform and was gently stroking her cheek in a "wall-pinning" gesture.

Their eyes met, and a face similar to Yura's yet more mature blossomed into a charming smile: "Are you impatient? Although the scene in your imagination is more romantic, if it were you..."

"I think any place is suitable."

"But please be gentle."

"I don't like being treated roughly."

"I hope you can understand."

As they spoke, Arecino, who was quite proactive, raised her hands and put them around Gu Jing's waist, bringing him closer to her.

Gu Jing, who was being hugged by her, smiled and gave her a bear hug, pulling her into his arms.

To onlookers, the two looked like a young couple who couldn't help but hug each other before parting ways. Although the woman's attire was rather masculine, her gray-black tuxedo perfectly accentuated her tall and slender figure.

Gu Jing, who was close to her ear, also said with a smile, "To be honest, I actually admire Alegino quite a bit, not only because you have a nice voice, and not only because I'm satisfied with your figure, but more because you care about children."
