Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"Forget about that for now. With the amulet I gave him, Diluc shouldn't be in any danger."

"I'd better prepare breakfast for the two adults and one child in the family first. Sigh, I'll have Yura keep an eye on that alchemist Sugar today. Bennett is still recuperating in the Cathedral of the West."

Sizzle~ As bird eggs were dropped into the oil pan, the first person awakened by the aroma of fried eggs downstairs was neither the exceptionally sensitive Yae no Miko nor the rigorously trained Yura, but rather Klee, who was still half asleep while holding Dudu.

Klee was wearing a nightgown that Yae no Miko had bought for her. I don't know what they were playing last night, but Klee's messy hair was practically a bird's nest.

"Little Keli, you're up! Then drink your milk while it's still hot, and have a fried egg and some fisherman's toast after that."

"I don't have time to cook in the morning, so I'll have Shinko-nee cook something delicious for you at noon. She's really good at Inazuma cuisine."

Still half-asleep, little Cleo ran back upstairs without looking back when she heard about the milk, muttering to herself as she ran.

"Klee hasn't woken up yet, Klee is still sleeping."

Goodness, this little girl is quite good at imitating. Su Bai was amused by Ke Li's appearance. He picked up the milk on the table and gulped it down. It tasted pretty good. It seems he really should try making milk tea tomorrow.

After leaving a note asking Yura to help find Sugar, Su Bai went out to Angel's Gift to wait for Charles. As one of Diluc's confidants, Charles had also noticed the unusual situation today. He originally wanted to go to the Adventurers' Guild to post a request to escort goods, but he didn't expect his master to directly call Su Bai.

"Your Excellency Su Bai, these are all the Ice Mist Flower stamens. Due to some reasons, some of the people who collected the Ice Mist Flower stamens were late today. We apologize for the inconvenience."

"That's alright, but you'd better not leave Mondstadt these next few days, your master is being watched."

"If possible, you'd better have a few Knights of Favonius patrol the area around Angel's Gift a few more times."

With a wave of his hand, Su Bai directly stored the Ice Mist Flower's stamen into the space of the Eye of God. If such a delicate thing were damaged on the way, the ice element inside might be lost.

Inside the Dawn Winery, Diluc sat solemnly at a table. He never expected that this person would come to the Dawn Winery in person, which put Diluc under some pressure.

Hoping to stall for time as long as possible, Diluc could only argue with the eighth seat of the Fatui Executors—the lady—while also hoping that the people inside Dawn Winery would evacuate quickly. If a fight broke out, he wouldn't have the energy to rescue them.

“I recall that our Dawn Winery has never invited any executives of the Fools. This ‘madam’ is breaking the law by trespassing on someone else’s property.”

"Hahahaha, as expected of you, Diluc Legionnaire. Even when facing the Fatui Enforcers who almost killed you, you still remain unfazed."

The woman's words made Diluc clench his fists. If it weren't for her saving him back then, he might have died at the hands of the Fatui Enforcers long ago.

Faced with Diluc's unchanging deadpan gaze, the lady was somewhat puzzled. She had provoked him so much, yet Diluc still hadn't made a move. If Diluc did, she would have a reason to destroy Dawn Winery.

And so Diluc and the lady sat on the stool chatting aimlessly. No matter how much the lady mocked Diluc, Diluc just stared at her with his dead fish eyes, as if she wasn't mocking him.

After calculating the time, and waiting until all the servants in the Dawn Winery had escaped, Diluc's deadpan eyes finally lit up with a serious light.

“Speak, what is the purpose of your coming to my Dawn Winery, you Fools? If you just want to buy wine, you can buy it at the Gift of the Angels.”

"Hehe, Diluc, then I won't beat around the bush. We're not here to buy alcohol, but to give you a choice."

"One option is to destroy your Dawn Winery, and the other is to buy your Dawn Winery for one Mora. Choose one."

Diluc's face turned cold. He had already gripped the Greatsword of Favonius in his hand. Dawn Winery was left to him by his father, and he would never hand it over, much less let these Fools destroy it.

"It seems I've arrived at just the right time; I should definitely participate in this lively event."

(Brothers, please don't eat spicy chicken noodles with iced cola... I couldn't hold it in until midnight, so only one update today...)

Chapter Sixty-Six: They retreated in a strange and wonderful way.

"Hey, Diluc, aren't you going to introduce him?"

Su Bai, who had never seen the lady before, was unaware of her true identity. The lady raised an eyebrow. If she remembered correctly, this was the famous fox spirit in Liyue. Back then, that guy Sanbing had always threatened to kill her. She never expected to meet her here today.

Now that we've encountered this fox spirit, should we just kill him? After all, he's on the Fatui's wanted list anyway. If we kill him when no one's watching, it'll weaken Liyue's power.

If Liyue doesn't have any evidence, it won't affect their plans; at most, it'll just be a waste of breath.

"This is the eighth seat of the Fatui Executive. If I'm not mistaken, she is also the highest-ranking officer of the Fatui in Mondstadt. Some of the things that happen in Mondstadt are inextricably linked to her."

"Heh, you guessed right. I'm in charge of the Fools in Mondstadt."

The woman with a beautiful figure rested her hands on the table, looking like she was someone else entirely. Su Bai subtly used his immortal power to sense the woman. He was shocked by what he sensed. This was no human body! The woman's body was filled with almost liquefied flames. She was practically a fire slime in human form.

As expected of the Fools' Enforcers, they really don't deserve the title of "Enforcer" if they don't have something unique about them. That skirmisher has no heart, and the lady's body is almost entirely fire. Will the remaining Enforcers be even more perverted?

Lost in thought, Su Bai completely ignored the lady. The lady seemed somewhat angry; since she had pledged allegiance to the Empress, no one had dared to ignore her like this.

Diluc secretly gloated. "Serves you right for showing up uninvited and being ignored. Well done, Su Bai. If I wasn't worried about her taking action against the people from Dawn Winery, I wouldn't have bothered arguing with the lady at all."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, ma'am, I was just spacing out. What did you say?"

Auntie? These two words pierced the woman's heart. This was the second person to address her like that. This familiar yet unfamiliar title made the woman feel somewhat dazed. Rustan, am I really getting old? If our souls meet again, will you still recognize me?

"Hey lady, you really need to take better care of your skin. It's so dry! Won't your partner say anything about it?"

Dry skin? The woman looked at her exposed skin and realized it certainly wasn't as supple and radiant as it had been five hundred years ago. It seemed the hardships of the past few years had indeed taken a toll on her skin. Su Bai pressed his advantage...

"Madam, I'm not trying to be harsh, but a woman's face is her second life. Look at your face now. If someone didn't know better, they'd think you were some old hag. You really need to pay attention to this, or your partner might not even recognize you."

Having spent years traveling for the Ice God, the woman's face had turned slightly yellow. It was barely noticeable unless you looked closely, but she was a meticulous person. She used ice elements to create an ice mirror and took a closer look. Good heavens, it really did look yellow.

For a moment, the woman couldn't hold back anymore. She had been determined to preserve her best self, so that after she died, she would meet Rustan and the two of them would hold that unfinished wedding in another world. But now, even before she died, she had already become so unattractive, which made the woman somewhat anxious.

The absent-minded lady touched her face, and Diluc stared at her in disbelief. He had never heard of the Lady of the Fools being so concerned with her appearance.

Su Bai, standing to the side, was also completely bewildered. He hadn't expected the lady to be so concerned about her appearance. He had no idea what she looked like before; he just made things up without thinking, saying whatever the woman cared about.

"Madam, you're already so old, you shouldn't be running around and jumping like young people. The sun is shining on your face, and it will make you age faster."

"Just imagine, your once pretty face now covered in wrinkles, how unsightly would that be?"

No, no, she couldn't give up her appearance before marrying Rustan. Even if Rustan wouldn't care, she had to show him her best side.

Damn you, Barbatos! Just wait! Your Heart of God will be mine sooner or later, and then I can pray to the Queen to grant me eternal beauty.

Barbatos, who was still drinking in the wind, suddenly sneezed loudly. He rubbed his nose, muttered a few words, and then picked up a bottle of good wine and gulped it down.

"Madam, you don't usually use cosmetics, do you?"

The lady nodded slightly. She had disdained using such things five hundred years ago. With her beauty, she was certainly among the best, if not a top-tier figure like the Empress.

"That's right. Nowadays, cosmetics not only have various whitening and acne-removing effects, but also anti-aging capabilities."

"In Liyue, there are shops that specialize in making cosmetics. When you go to Liyue, be sure to buy a lot to stock up."

"That stuff is a bit expensive, but for the sake of your skin and face, why not spend a little money?"

The lady was practically obsessed. After listening to Su Bai's long, rambling speech, she actually found it quite reasonable. At this point, she no longer cared about the purpose of her visit to Dawn Winery and simply left.

Before leaving, she made sure to take the umbrella from the entrance of the Dawn Winery with her, as the sun was so strong outside and she wanted to protect her skin.

This completely baffled her subordinates. Weren't they supposed to be tearing down the Dawn Winery today? Why did their boss just walk away after being criticized a few times?

Knowing the lady's temper well, the fools dared not ask any more questions. If they did, and upset the lady, they would all turn into ice cubes.

This scene completely stunned Diluc. Goodness, he thought there would be a big battle, and he was even prepared to take out the Evil Eye, which he didn't want to reveal. But Su Bai managed to fool the lady away with just a few words.

"Su Bai, is this your illusion magic? It can actually change a person's mind?!"

Diluc's incredulous look pleased Su Bai, but being an honest person, Su Bai also shook his head in confusion.

"I didn't use any illusion magic at all. I just randomly picked a few things from a list of a hundred things women care about about their appearance in a light novel and said them out loud. As a result, she seemed to have suffered some kind of shock and had this kind of reaction."

Su Bai removed the talisman he had secretly drawn behind his back. He had only intended to stall for time to draw some talismans to trick the lady, but he hadn't expected that he would actually persuade her to leave. When did he become qualified to be a persuader? Su Bai tugged at his face. When he went to learn storytelling before, he was persuaded to go home by the storytelling master after only three days.

Chapter Sixty-Seven Goodwin

On the way back to Mondstadt, Diluc told Su Bai about what had just happened. Su Bai also roughly understood what had happened. He didn't expect the Fatui to be so bold as to try to forcibly buy Dawn Winery in broad daylight.

"I remember Ningguang also wanted to acquire your Dawn Winery, but even with Ningguang's methods, she failed. That lady doesn't seem to have Ningguang's brains, so she resorted to this kind of forced sale, right?"

Diluc tacitly agreed with Su Bai's words. He stared blankly to the side, deep in thought. If he remembered correctly, Dawn Winery was one of the key protected targets of the Knights of Favonius. Now, so much time had passed, and he hadn't seen a single Knight of Favonius. This was too outrageous.

"Heh, it seems that even if the parasites in the Knights are eliminated, the Knights are still in a hopeless state."

"That's not quite right. Look, isn't there a Knight of Favonius walking over there?"

Diluc looked in the direction Su Bai was pointing, and sure enough, a Knight of Favonius in armor was walking in their direction. However, judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be going to help at Dawn Winery; rather, he seemed to be just wandering around.

"Although this knight is a bit weak, he's still here to help you."

"Let's go. I don't deign to accept help from someone like that."

Before Su Bai could continue, Diluc, having clearly seen the Knight of Favonius, snorted coldly and interrupted Su Bai. After brushing past the knight, Su Bai keenly noticed that Diluc's pupils glanced at the knight sideways.

That one glance contained so much: helplessness, anger, disappointment. The complex emotions in Diluc's eyes piqued Su Bai's interest in this Knight of Favonius.

"Diluc, do you know this Knight of Favonius?"

"His name is Goodwin, and he is a Knight of Favonius who participated in the expedition."

"An expedition?? Is the destination of the Knights of Favonius' expedition the Windrise?"

"No, no, he just fell behind."

Diluc stopped and looked at Goodwin, who was walking further and further away. The honor of the knight had made this Knight of Favonius forget the first purpose of the Knights of Favonius - to protect Mondstadt. Mondstadt needed manpower right now, but Goodwin chose to run away. Goodwin was now just a puppet controlled by honor and so-called face.

"Goodwin, Goodwin, that name, I feel like I've heard it somewhere before. He left quite a deep impression on me."

“His fiancée often whispers his name on the bench. It’s normal that you’ve heard it. Let’s go and not waste any more time.”

As Diluc turned and left, Su Bai wanted to ask more questions but could only keep his mouth shut. He could tell that Diluc wasn't in a good mood. Thinking of the blind girl, Su Bai sighed as he watched Goodwin's retreating figure.

"Sigh, I hope he can come to his senses soon. That girl doesn't care if her fiancé is a peerless hero or whether he has the honor of a knight. She just wants her fiancé to return safely and live a peaceful life with her."

Along the way, Su Bai asked Diluc about Sugar's residence. Perhaps because they didn't have much interaction, Diluc didn't even know where Sugar lived, which surprised Su Bai. Even if Diluc's intelligence network didn't cover all of Mondstadt, it still covered about 70-80% of the city.

Although he didn't know where Sugar lived, Diluc still told Su Bai some rumors about her, such as buying bones and being a shy person. He told Su Bai everything he could remember. Diluc also reminded Su Bai that these were just rumors and he had never verified whether they were true or not.

At this point, Su Bai simply believes that the shy Sugar Buys Bones likes to eat the meat on the bones, because he himself also likes to eat meat close to the bone. That meat is not only not greasy, but also surprisingly flavorful. (The meat close to the bone is really delicious, but some bones are too big, making it too difficult to gnaw on.)

Back in Mondstadt, Yura had been waiting for Su Bai at the city gates for quite some time. It was the first time Yura had been asked to help a friend, and upon seeing Su Bai's note, she was so excited that she immediately ran to Lisa's house to inquire about Sugar's address.

Seeing that Yura was suddenly so interested in Sugar, Lisa teased her a couple of times, saying things like Sugar was still young and weak, so she shouldn't play too intensely, which made Yura blush.

It wasn't until Yura was almost annoyed by Lisa's teasing that Lisa finally told Yura the location of Sugar's house. Yura then said, "I'll remember this grudge," and waited for Su Bai at the gates of Mondstadt, wanting to tell Su Bai the news as soon as possible.

Diluc, a man of high emotional intelligence and a strong sense of justice, wisely bid farewell to Su Bai. Although he was somewhat curious about what Su Bai wanted to see Sugar about, he had to personally handle the numerous matters at Dawn Winery.

"Su Bai, what do you need Miss Sugar for? Timaus is also an alchemist, and he charges very little."

On the way to Sugar's house, Yura asked Su Bai curiously why he insisted on going to Sugar. Although Timaus's alchemy skills were average, he could still make some small gadgets.

Su Bai gave a wry smile and had no choice but to tell Yura about Bennett's ordeal. After hearing Bennett's tragic story, Yura suppressed her laughter and expressed her concern for Bennett. Although the incident was quite funny, aristocratic etiquette told her that she shouldn't laugh in this situation, but she really couldn't hold back anymore.

"Laugh if you want, you poor Bennett kid, sigh."
