Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

It wasn't difficult for her to do this.

However, this was far from what she had initially imagined. She thought the other party would give her all sorts of unimaginable and difficult trials, but in reality, she was now doing things that should have been done by servants.

Looking at the man in front of her, who was sipping famous tea and handling official business with his other hand, she saw him as her nominal father.

Finally unable to hold back any longer, Yura gently put down her tea set, placed one hand on her chest, and questioned the man who was nominally her father.

"When are you finally going to teach me how to become stronger, instead of just leaving me here doing the work of a servant?!"

Pantalone's consciousness returned to reality from his official duties, and his gaze, peering through the edge of the document, fell upon the girl with short, ice-blue hair.

Pantalone gently put down her teacup and documents, placed her hands on the table, and smiled softly.

"I didn't expect you to endure it for much longer than I imagined. I thought you wouldn't be able to stand this arrangement for more than a day. I was quite surprised that you lasted so long."

“But little Yura, I should have told you to remember to call me Father when you talk to me, instead of speaking to me so rudely and loudly.”

"You're just fooling me!"

Little Yura puffed out her cheeks and glared at him angrily, slamming her other hand on the desk to vent her frustration.

This is clearly a deliberate attempt to use me as a servant, with no intention of teaching me how to become stronger or nurturing me as he initially promised.

But in response to Yura's outburst, Pantalone simply extended a finger and gently shook it.

"That is not true. As the saying goes, 'Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to those who are destined for them, but first it will test their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies.' If a rough jade wants to become a beautiful jade artifact, it needs to undergo sufficient polishing."

"Before you start trying to become stronger, you must hone your mindset. When you can treat everything with a calm mind, then nothing in this world can defeat you."

Pantalone spoke eloquently.

He simply wanted to toughen up little Yura's will.

It's definitely not because I thought she was useful that I deliberately treated Yura like a servant.

Well, absolutely not.

After hearing this explanation, Xiaoyoula suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.

But she felt that something was off, but she didn't know where to begin to refute it, so she could only mutter a few words.

"These strange, literary words sound like the preachy pronouncements that come from the mouths of people from Liyue. Is this really what the Geo Archon of Liyue is saying?"

"Of course not, these are my words. Isn't that very educational?"

Pantalone said with a chuckle.

In a sense, this statement isn't wrong, since the original author of this statement doesn't exist in the world. Since he said it, the statement naturally belongs to him.

Even Mencius could not traverse the quantum sea and cross countless worlds.

They crawled all the way from another world to Teyvat, then grabbed him by the collar and demanded royalties.

Chapter 52: A balance between work and rest is good, but don't relax too much.

Yora didn't quite understand Pantalone's explanation.

But being too young, she couldn't comprehend such complex matters and could only conclude that what Pantalone said made some sense.

Finally, he mumbled reluctantly to indicate that he understood.

"I understand, I'll do it, okay?"

"No, little Yura, remember to call me Father~!"

Pantalone, clearly not very satisfied with Yura's performance, said with a smile.

He emphasized the words "Father" and deliberately drew out the pronunciation.

This made Yura realize that the man in front of her was definitely doing it on purpose, but she was completely helpless.

Because the man in front of her was indeed her de facto guardian and adoptive father in this country, she couldn't help but reluctantly and awkwardly utter the title through gritted teeth.

"I understand, Father... Father... Master..."

After uttering that name, Yura undoubtedly felt incredibly humiliated.

Even though she did become the other party's adopted daughter in practice, it did not change the fact that the other party was her enemy, which made her feel an unprecedented sense of humiliation.

hateful!

She remembered this grudge!

Once she has enough power, she will make this guy who forced her to call him "father" know that a lady's revenge is never too late!

Once she has successfully avenged herself, she will make this man pay tenfold!

When Pantalone heard how little Yura addressed him, he nodded with a pleased expression, as if to say, "She's a promising student." He then picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said with a delighted look.

"Good, keep up the good work. Remember to let others see how deep the bond between us is, and don't let me down at crucial moments."

"Yes... Father... Master..."

Yura awkwardly pronounced the name, which wasn't quite natural for her.

For her, it will probably be quite a long way before she can fully adapt to this title.
