"Paimon, speak like a human."

"Um, the sunset fruit from this store gets worse and worse the more you eat it. After the first bite, I had no desire to eat any more. I'd better not buy it."

Paimon wore a disgusted expression. She had never eaten such an unpalatable sunset fruit. Not only was the flesh tasteless, but even the peel was astringent. This sunset fruit was even worse than the dishes that Ying had made when she first learned to cook.

Upon hearing Papamon's words, the vendor at the stall changed his expression, threw the sunset fruit in his hand on the ground, and stood up. At this moment, several burly men slowly gathered around.

"You guys say my sunset fruit tastes bad?"

"Yes, it tastes terrible!"

Paimon, oblivious to the danger, stood with her hands on her hips, clearly displeased. After eating the Sunset Fruit, she felt her appetite had decreased; the scarred-faced fruit seller was simply a villain.

"Hmph, you're talking nonsense! How could my fruit taste bad! You're slandering me! Now, pay me compensation for emotional distress!"

"Huh??? Compensation for emotional distress??? Are you kidding me? I'm already being lenient by not demanding compensation for emotional distress after eating such awful Sunset Fruit, and now you're asking me for it?"

"Try your own sunset fruit and see if it tastes good before you say that."

Scarface Liu (the thug in the Shenhe Legend quest) twitched his face. He knew how awful this batch of Sunset Fruit was. He had never touched it again after taking a bite.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. Do you think my sunset fruit won't be sweet? You're just slandering me and trying to steal my business!"

Chapter 145 I'm Not a Woman

Paimon and Luminous exchanged a glance. Now they were certain that this guy was looking for trouble. Luminous, with her keen combat instincts, had already noticed several burly men approaching her, but she was not flustered at all because she noticed that Su Bai seemed to be looking for her as well.

Ying's little eyes darted around, and an idea came to her. She looked at Su Bai's location, and after calculating in her mind whether Su Bai could hear her shout, she took a deep breath, mustered her strength, and shouted at Su Bai, who was not far away.

"Ah!!! This is indecent assault!!!"

This completely dumbfounded Scarface Liu and his henchmen. What was going on? What kind of girl was being molested and still sounded so energetic? And would we dare to molest you looking like that?

However, Ying's shout was indeed effective, drawing the attention of many people, including Su Bai. Molestation? Which bastard dared to molest someone in the street?

"Looks like I can also play the hero saving the damsel in distress scene."

Su Bai stroked his chin. He had never encountered a hero saving a damsel in distress in Liyue before. As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck heavily beside the 'crime scene'. After the lightning dissipated, Su Bai appeared among the crowd, wagging his three tails.

"Huh? Why is it Ying?"

Leaving behind a regretful remark, Su Bai shook his head with the same dead fish eyes as Diluc, bought a skewer of candied hawthorn from a nearby vendor, and prepared to watch the show continue.

"Su Bai! What do you mean? What do you mean by 'Ying'? Doesn't he deserve your help?"

Su Bai's words infuriated Ying. "What the hell? You came out to be a hero and saw it was me, so you just left? What kind of logic is that? So I'm not a beauty in your eyes?"

Ying summoned her black rock longsword, its blade flowing with cyan wind element. When the thugs saw that Ying could use wind element and seemed to have a good relationship with that immortal, they immediately had second thoughts.

"Boss, let's retreat. This woman doesn't seem like a good person."

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? Even if she can control the wind element and has immortals backing her up, so what? We're in the business of legitimate people. If she dares to lay a hand on me, I'll make her go bankrupt."

Scarface Liu swallowed hard. Despite his tough words, he unconsciously made way for the aggressive Ying. Money is money, but you have to be alive to spend it. It was clearly unwise to anger this woman at this moment.

Ying was equally unceremonious, grabbing her Black Rock Longsword and storming towards Su Bai. It was clear that if Su Bai didn't make things clear today, Ying might have to teach him why the Rainbow Flower was so red.

Su Bai leaned against the wall, looking completely unconcerned. He savored the sweet and sour taste bursting in his mouth and squinted his eyes comfortably. These candied hawthorns were indeed delicious, as expected of a time-honored brand. He could bring a few skewers for Hu Tao and Mona later. Hmm, and he couldn't forget Ke Li either.

Seeing Su Bai like this only made Ying angrier. She walked over to Su Bai and shook his shoulders violently. The shaking was so strong that Su Bai almost dropped the candied hawthorn he was holding.

This made the puppies who were longing for candied hawthorns anxious. They wished they could shake Su Bai instead of Ying, but the rules passed down for thousands of years by the stray dogs of Liyue made them only able to watch Su Bai longingly.

"You bastard, explain yourself clearly! What do you mean by 'Why is it Ying?'"

What do you mean by that look of regret mixed with disappointment?

"Isn't Master a beautiful woman???"

However, Su Bai remained unmoved. He picked at his ear, picked a few hawthorns from the candied hawthorn skewer, and threw them to the repair dogs.

"Oh yes, yes, you're right, you really are beautiful."

"???"

Ying is completely flustered right now. Even if you're lying, at least act normal, okay? This perfunctory attitude is obvious even to Paimon, right? Wait, Paimon, where's Paimon?!

At this moment, the Paimon people were dumbfounded. Why didn't you thugs go to Ying to ask for Mora? Why did you surround her? And what are you trying to do with such thick ropes? Do you want to kidnap her as a hostage?

"Boss, this little thing is so intelligent, she must be a rare treasure. Let's just tie her up and sell her for money."

"Once we have the money, we'll head straight to Mondstadt, and those Thousand Rock Army won't be able to catch us."

The leader of the treasure-hunting gang thought about it and realized that it made sense. This little thing looked valuable, so if they tied her up and sold her, they could make even more money.

"Traveler, Ying, help me, ugh..."

Little Paimon was terrified. Upon hearing that she was to be sold, she immediately started crying and screaming. Her crying caused the thugs around her to panic.

"Quick, use a Sunset Fruit to block her throat. If that immortal hears us, we'll be in trouble."

Scarface Liu was, after all, the leader of the gang, and he was quick-witted enough to grab a sour sunset fruit and stuff most of it into Paimon's mouth.

I wonder what Paimon's body structure is like. His mouth, which doesn't look very big, can actually fit such a large Sunset Fruit inside.

At this point, Scarface Liu couldn't care less about anything else. Now that he had achieved his goal, he might as well make a quick getaway, or he might not be able to leave later.

"Hey, you bunch of thugs up ahead, do you know you've broken the law?"

Just as Scarface Liu was about to unleash a few curses, a burst of fire element grazed his forehead and flew out. Sensing this familiar technique, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on Scarface Liu's forehead. Damn! Did he forget to check the almanac before going out today? How did he end up running into this devil's nightmare?

Scarface Liu placed Paimon on the ground and slowly turned around. A spirited young woman stood in front of him with her hands on her hips. Scarface Liu looked miserable. Well, it really was this young lady.

"Sister Yanfei, I turn myself in and confess. Could you give me a lighter sentence this time? At most, this can only be considered attempted crime, right?"

"Heh, still thinking about attempted crime? Looks like your legal knowledge isn't up to par. Don't worry, I'll try to get you in there for a longer period of study."

"Why don't you guys run away? A cute little kid gave me a few bombs, and I wanted to test their power."

Yan Fei's tone was full of regret, but since Scarface Liu and the others had already been brought to justice, it would be illegal for her to injure them again. Yan Fei put away the few bouncy bombs in her hand, it seemed that these small bombs could only be used next time.

Scarface Liu swallowed hard as he looked at the bomb in Yan Fei's hand. He was extremely glad that he had developed a phobia of Yan Fei. If he had really run away, those bombs would have exploded on him, and whether he would have survived would have been a question.

Chapter 146 Preparations for the Sending-Off-Immortal Ceremony (3)

"If I remember correctly, your name should be Scarface Liu, right?"

“I sent you to jail last time for fraud. How come you’ve become even bolder after you went in? You’re even willing to do things like human trafficking and kidnapping. Are you going to start a war with the Qianyan Army next time?”

Yan Fei circled around Scarface Liu, looking him up and down. This kid was really bold, even bolder than those tomb raiders who were trying to redeem themselves. At least those tomb raiders knew they wouldn't dare to break the law again, but this guy had been in and out so many times and still dared to act so recklessly.

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. Knowing the law and breaking it is an even more serious crime. See you in ten years."

Yanfei saw that the soldiers had arrived not far away and told Scarface Liu the verdict. As the head of the Liyue legal system, Yanfei's verdict was almost the same as the General Affairs Department's verdict. When Scarface Liu heard that he was going to be imprisoned for such a long time, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

"Sister Yanfei, please spare me! This is my first time! I have an eighty-year-old son..."

"Stop, stop, stop."

Before Scarface Liu could finish speaking, Yan Fei stopped him. Yan Fei gave Scarface Liu a disdainful look, took out a file about Scarface Liu from a thick law book, and threw it in front of him.

"We've dealt with each other many times, you don't think I know nothing about you, do you?"

"Because what you did was so classic, your examples have been written into books, and I have read your materials many times."

"But don't worry, as your old friend, I'll try to get you sentenced to a few more years."

Watching the swindler beg for mercy, Ying felt a surge of satisfaction. This kind of scum deserved to be punished properly. However, Su Bai's expression was somewhat strange.

"Those guys are really brave. They dare to act recklessly even after being targeted by Sister Yanfei. It seems they're definitely going to be stuck with this for the next ten years."

"A ten-year package? What's that? Su Bai, what are you muttering about?"

Ying patted Su Bai's tail, but Su Bai didn't take Ying's mischievous little hand to heart. He pointed to Yan Fei not far away and introduced her to Ying.

"Look, that's the person holding the thick book. Her name is Yan Fei. Besides being an immortal like me, she is also a legal expert."

"If Sister Yanfei were to perform at her normal level, she could send the opposing defense lawyer to jail. So, no one who breaks the law and is targeted by her can escape punishment. Even if the criminal hires a dozen legal experts, they still can't deal with Sister Yanfei alone."

"This...is that amazing?"

Ying covered her mouth, feeling somewhat incredulous. This level of legal expert was probably only comparable to the legal expert surnamed Luo that she had met in another world.

"Wait, we seem to have forgotten something."

Su Bai stroked his chin and looked around, but it seemed like nothing was missing. How strange, what could have been forgotten?

Ying looked around and saw that everything she had bought was there. It seemed that apart from the perfume, preserved incense, and glass lily that she hadn't bought, she hadn't forgotten anything.

"Since we haven't forgotten anything, let's go buy the rest and try to finish quickly so we can go back to sleep early."

"Although the night market in Liyue Harbor is very lively, it is still just a night market, and the food is not as good as that in restaurants."

As if reminiscing about something, Su Bai swallowed hard. Compared to the snacks at the night market, he still preferred Wanmintang, where the dishes were fragrant and plentiful, especially Xiangling's cooking. He hadn't eaten Xiangling's cooking for many days.

"If we have time, we can go to Wanmintang and ask Xiangling to make some late-night snacks to take back. Paimon, do you prefer your late-night snacks savory or sweet?"

"Paimon? Paimon?!"

Wait, where did Paimon go? Su Bai and Ying stopped in their tracks, exchanged a glance, and realized they had forgotten about Paimon. Without thinking, Su Bai and Ying turned around and ran back to where they had left off.

"Paimon, it's good that you're still here."

Seeing Paimon bound tightly on the ground, Su Bai and Ying visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, Paimon hadn't been kidnapped.

"Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh!"

Seeing Su Bai and Ying come to rescue her, Paimon excitedly twisted her body and kept making mumbling noises, trying to express something, but judging from her expression, it probably wasn't anything good.

With a 'pop' sound, Su Bai pulled the Sunset Fruit out of Paimon's mouth. Besides a row of small teeth marks, the Sunset Fruit was also covered with a lot of glistening liquid, which was Paimon's saliva.

"Su Bai, Ying, I thought I'd never see you again, sob sob~"

"You two bastards actually abandoned me and left! Paimon will punish you!"

"Little Paimon, instead of punishing us, don't you think your, well, the distance between your chin and upper chin is a bit too big?"

Su Bai gestured the distance between the two places, and Paimon touched her mouth, her eyes widening in horror. She... she couldn't control her mouth anymore!

"Su Bai, Ying, what's going on? Why can't I control my mouth?"

"My mouth can't close! Ying, Su Bai, help!"

"I don't want to starve to death like this! There are so many delicious foods I haven't tried yet, waaaah..."
