"White elf, I didn't expect you to be so eager to pay homage to this princess. Well then, this princess will bestow upon you this cup of essence."
Fischl's unique linguistic charm interrupted Su Bai's train of thought. The essence? What is that? Before Su Bai could turn around and ask, Oz had already taken over the conversation.
"Miss, you must drink the milk. Queen Youye specifically instructed me to make sure you drink it before she left."
"Haha, little Amy, you drink first, and we'll set off after you've finished."
Because he was in a bit of a rush last time, Su Bai didn't get to observe Fischl himself. But today, upon closer inspection, Su Bai suddenly realized that Fischl's attire really did resemble that of a princess. If she took off her blindfold, she would probably look even more like one.
Fischl looked unhappy at the milk in her hand with a bitter face, but under Oz's watchful eyes, she still tilted her head back and drank the milk in the paper cup. Well, she drank half and spilled the other half.
"Little Amy is clever; this trick is perfect for drinking contests with others."
"Of course, I am the Princess of Judgment. Wait, how do you know the name 'Little Amy'?"
"Miss, you'd be better off praying you won't be scolded by Empress Youye when you get home instead of asking this question. I will tell Empress Youye the truth about this matter, after all, your body is still developing and needs to be nourished."
Seeing that the smile on Fischl's face quickly disappeared, Su Bai finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. Fischl blushed and glared fiercely at Su Bai with the one eye that was exposed.
“Little Amy, you really look just like the heroine in Inazuma’s novel, you’re exactly the same.”
"Female, female lead???"
"I never expected you to discover how well I had hidden myself. That's right, I am the heroine of 'Princess Fischl's Night Tales,' and you, the attendant who coveted the princess's consecration ceremony, shall offer your loyalty to the princess."
Su Bai looked Fischl up and down. Based on the novels he had read during the ten years he spent in Inazuma from age six to sixteen, Fischl was exactly like the arrogant and chuunibyou female protagonist in those novels.
"Miss, I suggest you go to the Deer Hunter and buy another glass of milk now, so that you can get enough nutrition."
“Oz, what’s wrong with you lately? Ever since we went to the Knights of Favonius’s library last time, you’ve been paying special attention to my diet.”
Oz heard Fischl's question but didn't speak. Instead, he sighed deeply, looking at his young lady's chest. He thought, "I hope my young lady won't let the baby starve to death after she gives birth. But if the baby is too thin, it will definitely be unhealthy. This is really worrying Oz."
Fischl was a little confused by Oz's sigh. Although Su Bai roughly understood what Oz meant, he did not intend to say it, after all, this blow might be a bit too much for Fischl.
Thinking of his own Hu Tao, Su Bai could understand Oz's troubles. He had been back in Liyue from Inazuma for two years, and he hadn't seen Hu Tao's bust size change in those two years. It was really a headache.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you two? Why do you both look so troubled? What are you two hiding from me, the princess, thinking?"
"It's nothing, little Amy, let's go. By the way, don't you need to prepare some warmer clothes?"
Thinking of the snow-capped mountains where snot could freeze into icicles, Su Bai reminded Fischl that it wouldn't be good if she caught a cold.
"Hmph, I already thought of that. Here, this is the Fiery Stone that I bestow upon you. Just keep it in your bosom and you can maintain your body temperature on the snow mountain. I spent a lot of money to buy it."
Su Bai accepted the Burning Wish Agate fragments handed to him by Fischl. Although he didn't need them, they were a token of Fischl's goodwill, and he didn't intend to refuse.
"Our commission is actually quite simple. We just need to mine twenty pieces of Star Silver Ore. The reward is 50,000 Mora, which we will split in half. I've never done a commission that costs so much Mora before."
On the way to the snow mountain, Fischl toned down her chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) behavior a bit, making it easier for Su Bai to understand her. It wasn't that she didn't want to continue being chuunibyou, but rather that Oz would always lecture her when translating her words.
Fischl was in a good mood throughout the journey, but unfortunately, some Hilichurls always seemed to want to spoil the cheerful atmosphere. One Hilichurl hiding in the shadows threw a small pebble at Fischl, which hit the bow and arrows on Fischl's back.
Fischl, who was describing the size of her territory to Su Bai and trying to trick Su Bai into becoming her subject, was startled by the sudden attack. Seeing the Hilichurls yelling and screaming, Fischl grabbed her bow and charged at them.
"Mr. Su Bai, thank you for chatting with Miss. I haven't seen Miss so happy in a long time."
While Fischl was clearing out the Hilichurls, Oz thanked Su Bai. Su Bai shook his head dismissively, finding Fischl's chuunibyou (delusional) behavior not annoying. He wondered what the Mondstadt people were thinking, deliberately ignoring Fischl.
"Oz, do you know why little Amy calls herself Fischl?"
Su Bai had been wanting to ask Amy about her calling herself Fischl, but since Amy had been talking about her territory, Su Bai felt embarrassed to interrupt her.
"Because the name Fischl is a name that suits the young lady's destiny, and it is also a name that shares life and strength with me."
Hearing Oz's words, Su Bai didn't ask any further questions. Fischl was a person who could share his life and power, and his name deserved Su Bai's respect.
"Does Fischl need any help? If so, I'll help you too."
"Su Bai, you and Oz just watch and see how this princess's thunderous archery will eradicate the evil in this world."
Seeing the Hilichurls screaming and yelling as Fischl beat them up, Su Bai and Oz decided not to interrupt Fischl's passion; after all, it's good for kids to get some exercise.
"Oz, don't you feel like something's not right?"
"Mr. Su Bai, have you noticed this too? These Hilichurls don't seem to live here; they seem to have been driven here."
Su Bai and Oz both possess the bloodline of a demon god, and their perception of the outside world far surpasses that of ordinary people. Su Bai sensed a very obvious sense of fear from these Hilichurls, and it was even more abnormal that there wasn't a single Hilichurl thug among them.
"This direction should be the snow-capped mountains, Oz. It seems we need to be careful this time."
In the snow-capped mountains, the once peaceful mountain road suddenly became lively. Four Ruin Guardians were activated for some unknown reason. These four Ruin Guardians closely followed two people who were fleeing for their lives. Not far from the four Ruin Guardians, a group of Fools were also closely following behind the Ruin Guardians.
"Rayze, when I fell just now, I really didn't mean to touch that lady. I really didn't mean to, you have to believe me."
“Bennett, the teacher said that you can’t touch a woman down there.”
"I know, but I already apologized to her, so why is she still so angry?"
Razer was also puzzled. He had already apologized to the woman, but the two of them were currently on the run, so Razer couldn't think too much about it. In his wolf-like senses, the woman was almost as dangerous as his teacher, Lisa.
(I need everything for my new book, sob sob)
Chapter 18 Snow Mountain Trip (2)
Inside the cave, everyone—the Fools, Bennett, and Razer—was stunned. Good heavens, someone actually managed to find such a remote place.
Su Bai saw the five elite members of the Fatui behind Fischl. He stepped forward and shielded Fischl behind him, taking the initiative.
"Gentlemen, what brings you into my cave? Trespassing is illegal in any country."
"Oh, I'm so sorry, sir. I accidentally fell into your cave. I'm so sorry."
The naive Bennett genuinely believed Su Bai's words, and not only apologized but also bowed to Su Bai, showing his sincerity.
Bennett's actions made the Fools even more frustrated. If this silly boy could take liberties with the lady, why couldn't they, the elites, do the same?
"Hey you silly kid over there, you didn't actually take what that pretty boy said seriously, did you?"
Hammer Bro, supporting his hammer, looked at Bennett with surprise. Bennett scratched his head, somewhat confused by Hammer Bro's words. Fist Bro also rubbed his forehead and said helplessly.
"That pretty boy over there is obviously lying. What's that word in Liyue? Right, idiot. You're an idiot, aren't you?"
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean I'm lying? This cave is clearly my little brother Snow Fox's territory. How can my little brother's territory not be considered my territory as the boss?"
Su Bai took out a fruit knife and fiddled with it in his hand. Although he wasn't good at mining, he could still use illusion magic to control a few people to mine for him. And these five Fools in front of him were perfect free laborers.
"Wait a minute, I feel like I've heard the name Bennett somewhere before. Are you the unlucky guy who got injured by Klee's explosion?"
The more Su Bai thought about it, the more he felt he had heard the name Bennett somewhere before. When he saw that Bennett was still wrapped in bandages, Su Bai's eyes lit up. Wasn't this the unlucky guy?
"So even this stranger knows about my bad luck? That's a bit embarrassing."
Bennett scratched his head, surprised that even this older brother dressed in Liyue clothing knew about his bad luck. However, Bennett, who was already used to it, didn't take it to heart and instead looked behind Su Bai.
"Oz? What are you doing here?"
"By the way, where's Fischl? Oh, Fischl, so you were there."
Bennett, whose emotional intelligence is practically zero, didn't immediately think of Fischl when he saw Oz. Instead, he greeted Oz first before remembering Fischl.
Fischl stamped her foot. Was she really that insignificant in Bennett's eyes? Su Bai gave Bennett a thumbs up. Good lad. Judging from this, this kid named Bennett must be good at wielding a one-handed sword. After all, there's an old saying in Liyue: "If you have no woman in your heart, you'll naturally be a master swordsman."
However, although this kid managed to be celibate, his strength wasn't that great. He was helpless against just five elite Fatui. When the Fatui saw that Su Bai and Bennett seemed to know each other, they immediately changed their tactics. Hammer Bro and Fist Bro turned around and prepared to take down Su Bai and Fischl first.
"Heh, the Fools, huh? It's been a long time since I've fought you."
Su Bai's two fox tails swayed erratically behind him, and Musketeer, the one in charge of gathering intelligence among the four, exclaimed in surprise.
"You're that fox spirit from Liyue Harbor who sucks the life essence of beautiful girls! I heard he drained a girl's face until it turned white."
"Bullshit! When did I ever absorb any life essence? This is slander! When I get back to Liyue, I'm going to sue Yanfei for defamation!"
The lightning element on Su Bai's tail almost lost control of his temper because of what the musketeer said. He was clearly giving the drowning girl CPR, and that's why her face was so pale. How did it become a rumor that he was absorbing the girl's life force and that's why her face turned pale?
However, the four elite Fools under the young master did not agree with Su Bai's words. Even the debt collector under the lady's command gave Su Bai a wary look. His girlfriend was still working as a Mirror Lady in Inazuma. If his life force was absorbed, his girlfriend would misunderstand that he was indulging in pleasure every day in Mondstadt, which would be troublesome.
"No, why don't you all believe me when I tell the truth?"
Su Bai felt extremely uncomfortable under the strange gazes of the Fools. Forcing himself to calm down, he quickly circulated his immortal power. "You're slandering me, huh? Then I'll make you mine!"
"Su Bai, I feel like there's a sound coming from here."
“Benny, there’s something making a sound.”
As an investigator for the Adventurers' Guild, Fischl keenly sensed that there seemed to be some unusual sounds around him. Razer twitched his ears and turned his gaze toward a snowdrift.
Su Bai also temporarily put aside the illusion he had prepared because of Fischl's words. In his divine sense, there were only a few living people in this cave, so how could there be any movement?
However, reality soon slapped Su Bai in the face. A huge mechanical arm slowly emerged from the snowdrift. Upon seeing this thick arm, Su Bai was shocked. He thought to himself, "Damn it, does God know that his illusion magic is useless against this thing? He actually gave me such a huge thing."
"This thing is a relic heavy machine, and it shouldn't be activated without external stimulation."
"Good heavens, why is there a white radish stuck on the forehead of this relic heavy machine?"
Seeing the white radish on the forehead of the Relic Heavy Machine, Bennett scratched his head sheepishly. It seemed to be the same white radish he had just thrown away.
Thinking that he had accidentally awakened this thing, Bennett gritted his teeth and slammed the little fire element in his body onto the ground. His damage-boosting thumb barrier instantly appeared under everyone's feet.
"Hehe, it seems I made this by accident, hehe."
Feeling that he had been greatly strengthened, Su Bai took a deep look at Bennett. Although this little guy named Bennett was unlucky, the amplification effect of this move was really good.
After feeling the surge of power within him, Hammer Bro of the Fools swung his hammer and smashed it into the mechanical arm that was moving constantly in the snowdrift. With a clang, the arm of the Ruins Heavy Machine flew off.
"Haha, kid, that was a really good trick of yours. If it weren't for the lady's order to capture you alive, I would have taken you to the young master."
Seeing that Hammer Bro had smashed the arm of the Relic Heavy Machine with a single blow, Bennett's already icy heart sank completely. How could he possibly escape when faced with such a powerful group of Fatui?
Chapter Nineteen: The Snow Mountain Trip (3)
As the fire elementals from Bennett's slam into the ground continuously melted the ice beneath everyone's feet, Su Bai, standing at the edge of the cave, remained constantly vigilant of his surroundings.
"Hey little Bennett, did you hear that strange noise coming from under your feet?"
Su Bai's words left Bennett somewhat bewildered. He looked down and saw that the ice beneath his feet hadn't cracked, so he stared blankly at Su Bai again.
Just as Bennett relaxed his guard, a relic-themed heavy machine gun burst through the ice. Before Bennett could react, he was blasted away by the machine gun. Su Bai looked at Bennett rubbing his butt and rubbed his forehead. He had made it so obvious, but Bennett still hadn't realized what was happening.
"It's just a mere relic heavy machine. With the boost, I can handle it all by myself. Wait, where's the boost??"
As Hammer Bro charged forward with his hammer, ready to dismantle the ruined machine gun with one arm missing, he suddenly realized that the amplification barrier beneath his feet seemed to have disappeared. The ruined machine gun didn't care about that and punched Hammer Bro away.
Bennett leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw there was only one remnant heavy machine. He said with a hint of relief...
