Su Bai leaned against a broken stone pillar, looking dazed. He couldn't accept the fact that just a month ago, Ruo Tuo Dragon King had boasted that he would only leave if Yan Wang Dijun begged him to. But before anything had even happened, Boss Ruo Tuo had run away.

Su Bai rubbed his temples. Was it appropriate for an old man thousands of years old to be trying to fool a kid who had just turned eighteen? Perhaps he shouldn't be here right now, but should go and catch a grass-type Hilichurl shaman.

"I wonder if the Rock King Emperor would forgive me if I were to plead guilty with a bundle of thorns on my back? He probably would, right?"

(The spikes created by the Grass-type Hilichurl Shaman are really disgusting. Once I was caught between two spikes and couldn't move at all.)

(One update today, I'll definitely update twice tomorrow. I'm getting old, sitting for long periods makes my back hurt, I need to lie down a bit more...)

Chapter 110 Zhongli's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Inside Liyue Harbor, Zhongli and Nautilus walked along the commercial street. Under Nautilus's deliberate attempt to befriend him, Zhongli began to have some thoughts about this simple-minded Fatui Enforcer. The actor to play the villain in his plan had not yet been determined, but perhaps this guy named Nautilus was a good pawn.

“Mr. Zhongli, I didn’t expect your Liyue wine to be so delicious. I must buy more before I return to Winter Country.”

"I'm glad you're satisfied, young master. When you return to the Winter Kingdom, I will definitely prepare some fine wine for you."

"Haha, okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Zhongli, hiccup~"

The young master, his face flushed, let out a drunken burp without any regard for his image. As a martial artist, he didn't care about etiquette. As for Zhongli, he wouldn't mess with his mobile wallet, since he had never encountered such a high-quality mobile wallet in thousands of years.

"You're too kind, young master. There seems to be someone selling amber over there. Would you be interested in going to take a look together?"

"Since Zhongli is so interested, I won't refuse."

Zhongli led the young master to a middle-aged man's stall. In this noisy commercial street, this silent middle-aged man seemed out of place with his surroundings. The young master keenly noticed the arrogant look on his face. The young master sneered, "He's already fallen so low as to set up a stall and still has this sour face. No wonder he has no business."

Normally, the young master might have pretended to be interested, but he clearly underestimated the effects of the wine. Slightly drunk, he showed his disdain on his face, and his expression naturally did not escape Zhongli's notice.

"If you are not interested, young master, you may take a stroll around the area."

"Alright, Mr. Zhongli, I'll go take a look around. Remember to call me when you're done choosing."

The young master had already spotted the toy stalls around the area. These toys were not common in the Winter Kingdom, and Tok, who had never left the Winter Kingdom, should be very interested in them.

Thinking of his younger siblings, a genuine smile appeared on the young master's face, a rare occurrence. He hadn't seen his siblings in a long time, and now that he thought about it, they must have grown taller by now. He wondered if the letter he sent back had arrived yet.

My little ones, you must stay home and wait for me. Once I have completed the task assigned by Her Majesty the Queen, I will return to the Kingdom of Winter to see you.

Even if the young master, as an executive officer, misses his family terribly, he cannot go back. He cannot disobey the Queen's orders. Moreover, that lady could come to Liyue at any time. If that lady finds out that he is not in Liyue, Mark will be in trouble.

It's important to know that the Fools' Clan isn't as united as it seems. The young master doesn't want to get involved in any factional struggles; he only desires to become stronger and even stronger.

"Sir, would you like to buy a small doll for your child? I sewed it myself stitch by stitch, and children love it."

A female vendor took out a plush toy shaped like a rock slime and waved it in front of the young master. The young master looked at the exquisite plush toy and immediately took out a bag of Mora and handed it to the vendor.

"I'll buy all the toys on your stall."

It just so happens that a group of Fools are about to return to Winter's End. As the executor, he cannot return to Winter's End, but he can have his subordinates send the goods back. This is not the first time he has done this.

The young master's generous behavior made him a god of wealth in the eyes of the merchants. Countless merchants held up their goods and tried their best to introduce them to the young master. The young master waved his hand and said he wanted them all. Unconsciously, the young master was also influenced by Zhongli.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man stood respectfully beside Zhongli. The vendors around him looked at him with disdain, but their envy was no less. Everyone in Liyue Harbor knew that Mr. Zhongli was a spendthrift who would buy anything he set his sights on, no matter how expensive it was.

"Tch, who were you trying to impress with that high and mighty act? Now you still have to put on a smiling face."

"Exactly, I thought he was some high-minded person, but he's just like this."

Faced with the mockery of the surrounding vendors, the middle-aged man's face grew increasingly grim. Zhong Li noticed the man's unusual expression and his lips moved slightly. A magnetic voice entered the man's ears.

"Lishui, now that you're experiencing the life of ordinary people, you should put away your arrogance as an immortal. Otherwise, you'll just be an oddity in their eyes."

The middle-aged man took a deep breath to calm himself after hearing Zhongli's words. He never expected that life in the mortal world would be like this. It seemed that he was not suited for this kind of life after all. He should hurry back to Mount Hulao for seclusion after buying the hair growth tonic. If he continued to stay here, he was worried that he would not be able to help but release his aura, which would be troublesome.

"Lishui, you should know that in the torrent of time, you and I are probably just pebbles on the beach. No matter how prominent a pebble is, it will eventually be covered by sand."

"People may pass on our story, but in this era of rule by man, people are ultimately just carriers of the times. In the long river of time, all we can do is set up the last line of defense for Liyue."

"But, Your Majesty..."

"Mr. Zhongli, haven't you finished buying yet? Liyue has so many kinds of toys, my younger siblings will definitely love them."

Lord Lishui Dieshan clearly wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the young master who was holding a bunch of toys. The young master chuckled and moved closer to Zhongli. Zhongli put the stone amber that Lord Lishui Dieshan had displayed into his pocket and gave the young master a look that indicated he was paying.

Without much thought, the young master instructed the True Lord of the Die Shui Mountains to take his signature to the Northern Bank to withdraw money. After handing the toy to the Fools hiding in the shadows, he asked to find a place to have a few more drinks with Zhongli, to which Zhongli readily agreed.

Left standing by, True Lord Lishui Dieshan could only watch helplessly as the Emperor was 'snatched away' by this despicable man, and he could do nothing but stand there and watch the Emperor walk further and further away.

It wasn't until the Emperor had completely disappeared into the crowd that True Lord Lishui Dieshan came back to his senses. But for some reason, he couldn't stop looking at the frivolous person next to the Emperor, and even felt an urge to beat him up.

At the foot of Mount Hulao, Su Bai was frowning as he observed a stone slab. Several simple drawings were painted on the slab, but they were too abstract for Su Bai to understand. The general meaning of the drawings seemed to be that after Boss Ruo Tuo beat up someone, that person took Boss Ruo Tuo away from this small space.

"So, it seems that Boss Ruoduo didn't run away on his own, but someone let him out."

"Based on what Elder Ruo Tuo said before, there is a high probability that this person is the Rock King Emperor."

"If I had known I would see the Geo Archon here, I wouldn't have gone to Mondstadt so early. Oh well, I've missed it. Oh well, I'd better go find a Grass-type Hilichurl Shaman. I'll memorize a few locations so I don't have to search everywhere if I get into trouble later."

Chapter 111 The Unlucky Fools

"Captain, is it really possible for the lady to ask us to take her token to the Northern Bank to collect Mora?"

"The Northern Bank is located in the area under Young Master's jurisdiction. Madam shouldn't have any jurisdiction over there."

"Shh, shut up, you mustn't talk about the lady behind her back."

Near Liyue Harbor, three Fatui members huddled together, whispering furtively. One of them, clearly the most senior member, was reprimanding the other two.

Although he was scolding them, he was also starting to have doubts. Could they really get Mora from the Northern Bank? If they could borrow it, that would be fine, but if they couldn't, they would have no choice but to rob Bubulu.

Thinking about this, the Fool was also a bit of a headache. Damn it, what kind of mess is this? If he had known this mission would be so dangerous, he wouldn't have led his team past the lady in the first place.

It's important to understand that the Thousand Rock Army of Liyue and the Knights of Favonius are not even in the same league. It's one thing for them to bully the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, but if the Thousand Rock Army finds out, it's questionable whether they can even make it back alive.

Even if they manage to escape from the Thousand Rock Army, the Lady won't let them go if they don't get the medicine. They're doomed anyway, so all they can do now is pray that the Northern Bank will get Mora for them.

The feeling of having one's life controlled by others made this fool increasingly angry and unlucky. Not only was there no profit to be made on this mission, but he was also going to risk his life. Wasn't he becoming a great victim?

"Damn it, the medicinal herbs sold at Bubulu are too expensive! And I heard that the prices of the precious medicinal herbs at Bubulu have gone up starting today! I'm so angry!"

"That heartless boss, I hope I don't run into him in the wild, or I'll definitely teach him a lesson."

Bai Shu, who was still gathering herbs in the wild, suddenly felt a chill. It seemed that someone harbored deep malice towards him. Bai Shu looked around suspiciously but did not find anything unusual. Looking at the glass pouch growing halfway up the mountain, Bai Shu quickly put the matter out of his mind. He rubbed his sore back. On the first day without Qi Qi's help, he missed her.

"Ahem, since none of the three of you want to take on this task, perhaps I can do it for you."

"Who?"

The three Fatui members looked around but found nothing unusual, which made their hair stand on end. Could they have encountered a ghost in the middle of the night? After all, there were zombies in Liyue, so ghosts must exist too.

Seeing the three Fools forming a triangle back-to-back, Su Bai chuckled and dispelled the illusion surrounding him; his goal had been achieved.

The three Fools' faces turned grim. Looking at the three tails swaying behind Su Bai, they recognized him. At the same time, the intelligence gathered within the Fools' Clan also surfaced in their minds: this fox spirit was extremely skilled at manipulating his enemies and never left any survivors.

"Close your eyes, don't look into that guy's eyes. There were two small teams that were controlled by this guy before, and then they killed each other to death."

"No, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense. When did I ever do such a thing? I just stirred up trouble between them a little."

Faced with the slander from the Fools, Su Bai quickly issued a triple denial. The Fool sneered, clearly not believing Su Bai's words.

"Well, actually you don't need to be so wary of me, and your triangular formation back to back has a fatal flaw."

“You will be in danger if you are defeated from the center.”

"Moreover, an ancient book once recorded that this kind of formation can be broken without being attacked simply by having someone put some filth on them."

The three Fools ignored Su Bai's words. They were told to be extremely vigilant in front of this fox spirit, a sentence added by the intelligence department at the end of Su Bai's intelligence report.

"What kind of attitude is this? Don't you believe what I'm saying?"

Su Bai found it somewhat amusing to see the three Fools holding weapons, their eyes closed, and adopting a passive defensive posture, as Ying had already arrived above the heads of the three Fools.

"I'm just trying to be nice and remind you, but why don't you open your eyes and look up at the sky?"

"Ha, trying to trick me into opening my eyes and controlling me? Wishful thinking."

"Captain, I have a feeling something's not right. I have a feeling there's someone above us."

"It must be the fox's illusion. We should open our eyes or not move around. As long as we don't move, he can't do anything to us."

The captain of the Fools was very...

In mid-air, Ying, wielding her Flying Sword, slammed it into the center of the three Fools. The impact sent the three unlucky souls, who were completely unprepared from behind, flying away. Before they could stand up, Ying used her Wind Vortex Sword to gather them together and, in conjunction with Su Bai's lightning element, launched a wave of diffusion reaction.

When Ying stopped using her wind elemental attack, the hair of the three Fatui members stood on end from the electricity, and a burnt smell emanated from them, making Paimon feel nauseous.

"Sigh, those who don't listen to good advice will suffer the consequences. I told them their formation was flawed, but they just wouldn't believe me."

Su Bai shook his head. These fools were really something. He was just trying to be helpful, but they didn't appreciate it at all. Not only did they not appreciate it, but they even talked about him behind his back. It was really disheartening.

"So, Su Bai, what were you talking about with those Fools just now? Your voice suddenly appeared in my ear and startled me."

"Haha, sorry, sorry. I only wanted to use my fairy powers to transmit my voice to Luminous's ears, but because I wasn't very good at it, Paimon heard it."

"Hey, you two, are you secretly whispering behind my back?"

Paimon was very unhappy that Su Bai had been talking to Ying behind her back. His chubby cheeks puffed up with a smile. Su Bai poked him with his finger, and Paimon turned his head away to avoid Su Bai. It seemed that Xiao Fei was quite jealous.

"Sigh, I didn't expect Paimon to ignore me. Well then, I won't share this method of earning a lot of Mora with Paimon."

Su Bai sighed with feigned regret. As soon as Paimon heard that there was Mora to earn, she immediately put aside her little grievance. She and Ying had worked themselves to the bone all day and only earned three thousand Mora. If Su Bai really had a good method, then she wouldn't mind sharing a little bit of Ying with Su Bai.

Just as Paimon was about to bring her chubby little face close to Su Bai's, she felt a pair of hands hug her. When she turned around, Ying was smiling and shoving her into Su Bai's arms.

Ying was busy today. After running around most of Liyue, Ying realized how important Mora was in Liyue. With Mora, she could buy things from any country in Liyue, even decent weapons like the Blackrock Longsword.

Some adventurers are even willing to travel to the Silent Sea to find her brother, provided Mora offers enough, and they also offer the service of posting missing person notices in the Silent Sea as a bonus.

One adventurer even said the following: "I'll spend 1,000 Mora to search casually, 10,000 Mora to search attentively, 100,000 Mora to search diligently, and if I don't find your brother after spending 1 million Mora, I won't do any other commissions. Spending 10 million Mora to help you find your brother will be the highest ideal I will pursue in my life, and spending 100 million Mora to find your brother will be the unwavering duty of my descendants until death."

"Paimon, so that we can have plenty of meat and fish in the future, you'll have to make do this time."

Watching Paimon's chubby face change shape in Su Bai's hands, Ying silently apologized to Paimon in her heart. She was sorry, Paimon; she really needed that cool-looking Black Rock Longsword and the thoughtful service of posting missing person notices in the Silent Sea.

(I found these lyrics online, and they're quite interesting. I'm sharing them with you guys: "Listen to me, thank you. Because of you, I have Qiqi. Thank you, I'm grateful to have you. You've made Jean beautiful. I want to thank you because of you. You're a safety net for Keqing. Thank you, I'm grateful to have you. You've passed on Mona.")
