This heroine is so despicable

"Well... I'll go to the library and look it up later. But no matter what the rose's meaning is, I hope this rose can stay with you and go on adventures with you..."

Ying nodded——She was looking forward to Noelle’s expression when she found out the other meaning…

"Let's...rest a little longer together."

Holding Noelle's hand, the two of them lay down on the soft grass and enjoyed the warm breeze.

……

But after about a few minutes, Ying suddenly felt something strange in this quiet and peaceful environment - as if... there was some increasingly intense gaze staring at her.

Are there any enemies?

She sat up and looked according to her intuition, and then she saw Xing squatting behind the bushes not far away, looking at her resentfully, and poor Paimon with his mouth covered in her hands.

"star!?"

For a moment, Ying's first reaction was not only surprise, but also a little awkward for some reason.

"When...did you come?"

"When Miss Noelle gave you a rose..."

Xing looked at Ying with resentment and let go of Paimon - this hateful little guy, when she was with Ying, he always showed up at inappropriate times to interrupt their time alone. But when Ying was with Noelle, he was tactful enough not to be a light bulb.

"Because I felt that the atmosphere was so wonderful, I didn't want to disturb you..."

So... I was seen being given roses?

Ying suddenly felt her face getting a little hot.

Noelle also sat up at this point, and looked at Xing in surprise:

"Hey, is it... Miss Xing? Hello... Long time no see..."

Fortunately, most of Xing's resentment was also acted - she, who had just witnessed almost the entire process, could still clearly see that the maid's feelings for Ying were more of admiration, rather than the love and possessiveness of a lover...

But...longing is precisely one of the farthest distances from love.

And... even if it was, Xing wouldn't mind too much - after all, she was a loving and tolerant person, so how could she be disgusted by such a lovely maid?

At most... I'm just a little jealous!

"My affairs have come to an end recently, so... I plan to come and look for Ying."

Xing sat down between the two of them and secretly squeezed Ying's hand.

"But... it seems that Ying is having a lot of fun in Mondstadt recently..."

She traced the case all the way here and learned on the way that Yingmei has been very busy recently, almost running around with Noelle, Barbara and Diona, just like a time management master who is trying to collect all the endings.

And sure enough, Ying, who was being stared at by her, looked away guiltily and hugged the aggrieved Paimon, who was complaining to her about Xing's kidnapping of her.

Although Noelle didn't quite understand the situation, she could vaguely sense that the atmosphere was a little strange, and immediately stood up:

"Well... Thank you very much for your help, Honor Knight. Miss Xing wants to see you for something, so I will..."

"Oh, don't be impatient~"

Xing grabbed Noelle's hand and pulled her to sit down again.

"Last time I wanted Miss Noelle to take me around Mondstadt. Since Miss Maid is free today, why don't you accept my invitation? Take Ying and I for a good tour?"

Ying, who was standing aside, saw the way Xing looked at Noelle and immediately puffed her lips in anger - this guy had looked at her with the same look at the beginning... No, to be precise, she was so enthusiastic towards any pretty girl!

So she pinched Xing's hand in turn;

“Please don’t embarrass Noelle…”

[Jushi seems a bit confused... Never mind, it's more important for you three to live a good life.]

What do we three mean?

Is it reasonable to have only three? Those who don’t know may be because my pioneers don’t have enough stamina!

"Come to think of it, Ying seems to have made a lot of new friends in Mondstadt, Barbara, and Miss Diona... Why don't we invite them along? I also really want to get to know those cute girls..."

Now it was Ying's turn to avoid looking at him again - she had indeed been getting close to a few girls recently, and she would often spend time with one in the morning and another in the afternoon...

Wait, that’s not right!

Compared to myself who actually did nothing but simply developed "sisterhood", Xing is the one who is more likely to mess around with other girls, right?

For example... for example, Miss Ningguang!

During the last Lantern Festival, she always felt that the two people's eyes were almost thread-like, there must be something strange!

Therefore, Ying looked at Xing again, unwilling to be outdone:

"Xing came from Liyue, right? I guess... he will come to see me soon, right?"

"Uh……"

Now it was Xing's turn to avoid looking at him again - it was hard to say for the others, but if Ying wanted to check, she could use the leylines and anchor points to teleport to Liyue in a minute, and she would know with just a casual question that I had just come to Mondstadt after staying there for a day...

If she dug deeper, she might even know that she had spent a night in the Jade Pavilion...

Although she can explain it, but...

"Ahem...Anyway, I miss you so much, Ying!"

Xing quickly changed the subject, and held Ying's hand in a very shameless manner, trying to convey his sincere feelings with his extremely "sincere" eyes.

"Recently... I've been through a lot of things, and I want to share them all with Ying - just like I always have."

Ying looked at Xing, who seemed to be saying "Let's just stop here and not delve into this further", but still snorted with some dissatisfaction.

However, feeling Xing's blazing gaze, she also understood that what the other party said about her was true, and today she was indeed "caught".

Therefore, Ying could only rub Paimeng in her arms and turn her head away:

"Then... tell me about it..."

Volume 152: The End of the Immortal Body, the World and the Human World: Albedo and Abe

By the time they slowly reached Mondstadt, Xing had almost finished telling the story of his recent experiences on the Immortal Boat.

Of course, she naturally omitted some of the ambiguous scenes with the Lord of Extinction.

Compared to Ying who came from outside the world, Noelle's reaction was as if she was listening to a science fiction... uh, or fantasy story?

Whether it was the giant ships that carried the world and flew through the void, or the antimatter legions that destroyed countless civilizations, these were all beyond her imagination.

Even Paimon sounded a little confused.

"I always feel that... your hometown is extremely dangerous. Well, now that I think about it, Teyvat is not bad. At most, there are just some Fatui, treasure robbers, and Hilichurls..."

Xing couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this.

[You can't help but start to think, what is the essence of the world of Teyvat? Is it a planet? It doesn't seem like it, a bubble of world? It doesn't seem like it either, is the world outside of Ying's origin the same world as yours? Many questions have been lingering in your mind... especially... why did you come to this world? ]

To...hang out with more girls.

【…】

[Okay, you are right]

After returning to Mondstadt, Noel naturally went back to the Knights' headquarters, while Xing and Ying were a little undecided about what to do next.

It was obviously a bit abrupt to directly ask Yingmei to open up with him. Xing thought about it and simply said:

"How about... you take me to those anchor points I haven't been to?"

Although Xing can also use ley lines and anchor points to teleport, it is obvious that places that have not been visited have not been visited. If Ying leads the way, Xing will probably be able to unlock all the anchor points quickly - as long as Ying has been there.

By the way, if you come across any beautiful scenic spots on the way, you can also find ways to create the atmosphere and strengthen your relationship with Ying again.

Ying also thought this was a good idea, so the two of them quickly walked towards the teleportation anchor point.

When passing by the synthesis platform, Xing noticed a very cute girl with eyes - she had long light green hair and a pair of drooping animal ears of the same color.

【Fox man!? 】

Are there fox people in Teyvat?

Just as Xing was thinking about how to properly approach this cute girl in person, Paimon at the side waved first:

"Hey, Sucrose! And Albedo, hello~"

"Hmm? It's the travelers, hello!"

The girl named Sugar naturally greeted them enthusiastically. Xing took a look at her legs and skirt and found that she was wearing a rare pair of suspender stockings and boots.

[Sniff... Hmm, the smell must be strong.]

What the hell! Pretty girls don’t have strange smells!

Ying, who was standing by, naturally introduced the two people who met for the first time, and Xing learned that the other party was an alchemist affiliated with the Knights of Favonius.

So Xing shook her hand seriously:

"Hello, I am the copper sorcerer."

Sugar, who didn't understand the pun, was slightly stunned, as if wondering if this was a branch of alchemy.

"Just kidding. Actually, I prefer mature older sisters. Of course, I also like cute girls like Miss Sugar."

Ying, who was standing by, gave Xing a knife with a slap in the face, then looked at a figure going away, obviously feeling a little strange:

"Is there something urgent, Albedo?"

"Yes, he left in a hurry without even saying hello to us."

[Who? Sorry, I was just looking at the girl]

Sugar shook her head and looked at the direction where the blond young man had left with some concern:

"I... am not sure, but I feel like Mr. Albedo seems a little different today than usual... but... I can't tell exactly where."

So Ying introduced Xing to the man who had just left. He seemed to be a very powerful alchemist, but for some reason he liked to stay in the snowy mountains all year round to do research on his projects.

Xing didn't care too much about this little episode. After all, she rarely paid attention to men. After chatting with Sucrose for a few words, the two came to the teleportation anchor point and began to prepare to expand the territory with the old leading the new.

Therefore, Xing unlocked the anchor points in Wangfeng Mountain, Zhaixing Cliff, Mingguan Canyon, Dadaupa Valley and other areas in a short while.

"Then it's the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain."

Ying and Xing were teleported to a mountaineering camp at the foot of the mountain. They looked at the towering snow-capped mountains and sighed.

"My strength hadn't recovered much at that time, but I suffered a lot here."

Paimon nodded:

"Yes! Especially that wild boar king! He almost drove us all the way to the foot of the mountain!"

The star is a little strange:

"So...what are you doing in this snowy mountain?"

"Don't mention it. Of course, I was going to Liyue. No one told me that I could go through the stone gate, so I ended up crossing the entire Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain..."

The two were chatting when a familiar voice was heard. Turning around, it was Miss Eula, whom they hadn't seen for some time. Even here in the snowy mountains, she was still wearing that thin-looking outfit. Perhaps it was the effect of the Ice God's Eye that made her particularly resistant to cold.

This time it was Xing's turn to introduce Ying to the Wave Knights of Mondstadt, the guerrilla squad of the Knights of Favonius, and Lawrence Eula.

"Traveler, right? I've heard my colleagues talk about you more than once. Just call me Eula."

After Eula, Ying, and emergency food Paimon got to know each other, Xing also asked curiously:

"Speaking of which, why is Eula here?"

The latter shrugged:

"Of course it's the Knights' Order's job. It's the Windblume Festival now, and even the Adventurer's Guild is celebrating. To prevent any couples or Mondstadt tourists from going deep into the snowy mountains at this time, Captain Jean must send someone to keep an eye on them. You don't know that every year at this time, some people go up the mountain without knowing their own limitations, and we end up having to send people to rescue them..."

Xing immediately understood that perhaps Eula had volunteered to take on this job - after all, she had few friends in Mond, and those who didn't know her were even afraid of her.

As for his family, his uncle must have been sent to jail for colluding with the fools last time, and the rest of the family members obviously wouldn't have anything to do with her.

Therefore, rather than staying in Mondstadt with its strong festive atmosphere, Eula, who is all alone, might find it more comfortable to live in the snowy mountains.

However, seeing Xing's complicated look, Eula shrugged:

"Hey, don't think so badly of me. I'm not on some isolated island. The people from the Adventurer's Guild will be back soon, and Amber will come to see me. And I have a neighbor too - Albedo doesn't seem to like the festival very much."

"Albedo... huh?"

Xing tilted his head when he heard the name for the second time.
