"Really...?"
The short-haired girl instinctively asked in confusion.
Regarding this...
"There's no need for me to lie to you, is there?"
Ying smiled mysteriously, "It's a promise, you're not allowed to tell anyone."
"Oh, oh~"
Adi nodded, but still looked at Ying with some surprise and scrutinized her several times.
Her reaction undoubtedly piqued the curiosity of everyone around her.
Even Astrea, who is the 'Goddess of Justice', is no exception.
However, being as quiet and gentle as she is, she wouldn't press the matter forcefully.
But she realized it...
"I didn't tell everyone because I never wanted to disclose it to the outside world in the first place."
"Telling only one person is a way of gaining our trust as well."
Astraea understood perfectly, "She's very thoughtful."
"And he's also very malicious."
******
Several days have passed...
That night.
A few days ago, after that 'casual chat' session, Ying had a basic understanding of the members of the 'Astrea Familia'.
Although they are far from being close friends, they at least greet each other when they bump into each other on the street.
It's worth mentioning that during this period, the person who had the best relationship with Yingming was actually Liu, with whom she had previously had a dispute.
Even Kaguya, Lyra, and others couldn't help but marvel at the vastness and wonder of the world.
And then, tonight...
"cheers!"
The women of the Astrea Familia, having successfully destroyed another stronghold secretly established by the 'Dark Faction' this afternoon, have once again gathered at the 'Abundant Mistress' tavern for a victory celebration.
It can only be said that Lyra the cunning rat's 'scheme' succeeded.
Because, for this celebration banquet, Ying herself cooked and prepared the dishes.
As the delicious dishes were placed on the table, the girls sniffed the air, and soon their eyes widened, and they subconsciously swallowed.
A girl's reserve?
What is that? Is it edible?
at last……
"Come, come, Ying, you sit down too."
Alexandra pointed to an empty seat next to her.
"Uh~"
Now that you've uttered that classic line from the Horse Hunter, how could I dare not sit down?
But there are some things that still need to be said.
"Isn't this your victory celebration? Is it inappropriate for me to sit here?"
Hearing her say that...
"Hey, don't worry about these trivial things."
A sly look appeared on Alexie's face as she nudged Ying's side with her elbow. "We're practically family, why are you keeping this a secret?"
"???"
The silly little sister is really confused now.
What am I hiding?
She sounded puzzled.
Seeing this...
"That's not interesting."
Alyssa's lips curled slightly. "The 'Hero of the Night' that the city's residents have been talking about lately, isn't that you?"
"When you see injustice, you draw your sword to help; when the deed is done, you leave without a trace, keeping your merits and fame hidden... Ah~ our hero of the night, it is you who have protected the peace of Orario at night."
After making exaggerated gestures and acting silly, the red-haired girl teased Ying, saying, "That's what everyone's saying outside. It seems like someone's planning to write your story into a new 'heroic tale'."
"..."
Sorry, you're overthinking it.
Ying was somewhat speechless, thinking to herself, "Didn't I just tell Grandpa Lu to go to the dungeon to 'level up' by himself?"
"Why is he back to his 'old ways'?"
Chapter 359, "Astraea's Memoirs," begins.
Previously, when Ling Shu pulled [Diluc], Diluc's affinity level was already as high as '9', close to the maximum value.
In recent days, Ying considered that she might need some help when the 'Seven Days of Death' protest broke out, so she summoned both him and [Kaeya] over.
Recently, this "Mondstadt Fire and Ice" duo has been spending all their time grinding monsters and leveling up in the dungeon.
Unexpectedly, after reaching maximum affinity with Diluc and awakening his 'original consciousness', this rich young master started acting as a fantasy version of Bruce Wayne.
Regarding this matter...
"The 'Hero of the Night' you're talking about really isn't me."
At the dinner table, Ying looked at Alisha and shrugged helplessly, "I don't have time to go out at all at night, and Mia's mother can attest to that."
"what?"
Alexie looked towards the bar and saw the middle-aged woman nodding and shrugging, realizing she had made a mistake.
"but……"
Ying's lips curled slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, I do know the name of 'Hero of the Night'."
"Ugh?"
Alexie's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Who is it? Who is it?"
Seeing how enthusiastic she was...
"Him..."
A sly look appeared on Ying's face. "I won't tell you."
"..."
Seeing that Alicia's momentum had somewhat deflated, the silly younger sister said with a mischievous smile, "These kinds of things are more interesting when you have to find the answers yourself."
Hearing her say that...
"Tsk tsk, our leader has finally met his match!"
Leila teased in a low voice.
"Yes."
Kaguya chimed in, "Before, there was one person I couldn't do anything about (Alicie)."
"Now that we can see this real 'one thing subdues another' drama, it's all worth it."
"You guys..."
Alexandra began to protest.
The girls started playfully fighting.
Amidst laughter and cheers, the celebration banquet gradually drew to a close as time went by.
In the end...
"Hero of the Night..."
Alexie couldn't suppress her curiosity about this mysterious figure.
Finally, she made up her mind, "Fine, then I'll find him myself."
"If she's a beautiful girl like me, everyone loves her... maybe she can fulfill my 'group leader duties' (recruiting people)."
The red-haired girl clapped her hands. "Yes, it's decided then."
******
Ying doesn't actually need to spend much money on a daily basis.
Therefore, the magic stones recently earned by Diluc and Kaeya were directly put into Paimon's 'space backpack' and transferred to Ling Shu (the main body) to replenish 'magic power'.
As for those 'monster drop materials'...
Yes, Ling Shu will take a portion of it himself.
You see, he's been staying in the 'Desolate Lower Realm of Official History' recently, and he just happened to have nothing to do... So, to find something to do, he started tinkering with the advanced uses of 'synthesis' to develop his abilities.
For example, by using the 'Absolute False God' skill, one can transform it into their own 'magical attribute' and start crafting all sorts of strange and wonderful things.
For example, try using new materials to strengthen existing weaponry.
In any case, all relevant experimental data can be recorded using the 'Key of Revelation' super database, and there are many ways to use it.
besides……
Some unused, low-quality scraps would be sold by Kaiya.
