"I see. With this distance... I should be able to return to Liyue tomorrow night..."

Xing sighed, thinking that if he had known earlier, he would have gotten a motorcycle or some other means of transportation in Beloberg...

After saying goodbye to Yingmei and Paimeng, Xing arrived at the Dawn Winery in the evening with the map given by them.

The maids here had been notified of her arrival, and after learning of her arrival, they politely took Xing to the warehouse to move out all the food, and even provided an extra batch of wine that had not been sold yet because it was not quite to the taste of the Mond people.

"Lord Diluk specifically instructed that you seem to have an urgent need for this batch of food. Since Dawn Winery doesn't have much food stored, these wines are his friendly donations. You can do with them as you please - whether you want to sell them or whatever."

[He is really...too righteous! From now on, let's call him a righteous man! ]

The maids even prepared a guest room for Xing to rest, so that the latter could rush to the anchor point refreshed the next day - for some reason, Xing still did not wake up and return to Beloberg this time.

The next evening, Xing, who had successfully found a new anchor point, returned to Liyue and went to look for Yingmei, but learned from Hutao that her guest official had taken Yingmei and Shenhe away after a busy morning and no one knew where they were going.

Since no one was around, Xing had something to ask Hu Tao:

"By the way, Zhongli looks quite young, but he knows a lot. It seems like he can tell a story about everything. Where did you find such an excellent employee?"

Walnut shrugged:

"He came to apply for the job himself. How do you say that? Self-recommendation! Alas, there aren't many people who would take the initiative to come to our Wangsheng Hall to apply for a job, so of course I had to personally go through the process. As a result, after chatting with him, I found that he seemed to know everything, so I hired him on the spot."

"Don't you think...he's a little weird?"

Walnut stroked his chin, thinking:

"It seems to be true. His personality is even more old-fashioned than our elders... He always seems to know everything, but he doesn't care about anything..."

Xing nodded and added:

"And he obviously doesn't have a single cent in his pocket, but he doesn't even look at the price when buying things. I think even the wealthy people like Tianquanxing would be fooled by this..."

[It's really amazing, how come this kind of person hasn't starved to death yet? ]

Walnut nodded in agreement:

"That's right! Now that you mention it, there were a few times when he did report a lot of unnecessary expenses for us, although... the things he bought proved that he had a unique vision... Hiss, hey, Xing, do you think he would..."

But this serious thinking only lasted for a few seconds, and Walnut smiled and spread his hands:

"Forget it, forget it~ Never mind. In Liyue, it's hard to find someone who knows everything about astronomy and geography. And some people say that the holders of the Eye of God have weird personalities. Maybe if they are not unique, they won't be able to attract the attention of God, right? Let him be~"

After saying that, Kurumi gave a wicked smile:

"I happen to have nothing to do today. Do you want to... go and tease Xiangling together? I heard that she just came back from collecting materials yesterday. I think she is developing new dishes again."

"Tease... Xiangling?"

"Yes, Xiangling, the future successor of Wanmin Hall, is very funny. She jumps when touched and is easy to be fooled. How about you help me stop Guoba and I will tease her?"

"good idea!"

However, as soon as the two came out of the Hall of Rebirth, they saw two fools who seemed to be waiting for the star.

Considering that the young master was still polite, Xing also maintained basic etiquette:

"Is something wrong?"

"Yes, my lord, please follow me. I want to discuss something important with you."

[You vaguely sense that although this Fatui tried his best to conceal it, his expression was still a little stiff.]

...quite interesting.

"Is there anything you can't just say? Like going to Northland Bank or something?" Xing asked, pretending to be confused.

"Well... there is a saying in Liyue that walls have ears. Sir, you think it is safer outside the city."

"Oops~"

Walnut, who was standing by, listened to their conversation and blinked:

"Although the Fatui have funded our Wangsheng Hall's business... But if you ask me, given the current situation, it's better not to get involved with them too much~"

Xing raised her eyebrows slightly and found that although Hutao looked cute and unremarkable, she was actually quite perceptive.

So she just smiled:

"That's fine. Since you are so polite, I will accept the appointment. Oh, and remember to say hello to Xiangling for me. If there are any delicious new dishes, remember to save some for me."

After waving to Kurumi, Xing looked at the Fatui:

"Lead the way."

"Yes, please follow me."

Following the Fatui all the way out of the city, they were almost at the foot of Tianheng Mountain. The other party did not stop until they led Xing to a secluded valley.

Xing looked around at the perfect ambush terrain and shrugged:

"Where's the young master?"

The other side retreated in panic, and at the same time, a large number of Fatui soldiers emerged from the surroundings.

——In addition to several familiar advance team standard configuration teams, there are also some people who look more interesting.

For example, there is the tall sword-wielding elder sister wearing an animal element mask, and the lady with a water element mirror floating beside her.

As for Miss Leiying the Warlock and the hooded debt collector, not to mention, there were a dozen musket guerrillas aiming at her on several commanding heights.

[Oh, you are surrounded]

Yes...fear, tension...

There are also dead people.

[But those Fatui big sisters are still pretty cute, why not capture them and make them star slaves? ]

It’s not impossible, but…

Given the character of the young master, he probably won't make such a big show if he wants to fight. He should be more eager to fight me directly. Then, I can only...

Xing turned around and looked at the lady who appeared dozens of meters behind him with a gnashing expression on her face, and couldn't help laughing:

"Oh, isn't this my dear Rosaline? Long time no see~"

Volume 078: Under the Sun of Yu Tongheng: Wang Xiaomei and Shanghai at Night

"It's a rare reunion for us, but they brought so many people to surround me..."

Xing looked at the lady with a smile and acted shy.

"There's a saying in Liyue that goes 'One night of marriage means a hundred nights of love. Honey, you should also think about the happy times we spent together..."

"I'm happy you're a** (dirty words to winter)!!!"

What answered Xing was the lady's roar and the huge ice spear that shot towards her - obviously, this sentence seemed to have completely ignited the lady's anger, and she went all out from the beginning.

Joining him in the action were all the other Fatui - the Thunder Warlock's Thunder Ying, the Fire Gunner's bullets, the maid's "Mirror Flower and Water Moon", and the Servant Sister's Wind Blade.

A large number of attacks came from all directions, completely blocking any breakthrough route. Several elements roared together, and the complex elemental reactions triggered were like a furnace, completely annihilating Xing's figure.

Even the holder of the Eye of God, even the Abyss Mage who is good at using elemental shields, and even those sturdy Kanreya ruins heavy machines, would surely be wiped out under this kind of fusion reaction, right?

But - when the smoke and dust cleared, the first thing that appeared in everyone's eyes was an amber flaming spear burning with an unyielding fire.

The unharmed Xing stood tall above the earth, his eyes calmly scanning the crowd of fools, as if to say - is that it?

Compared to the Fatui who were slightly stunned, the lady's attack did not stop, and more ice spears and ice spikes shot towards Xing.

"What are you standing there for? Attack with all your strength!"

The Fatui, awakened from their dream, continued to attack. The melee group represented by Wind Fist and Thunder Hammer rushed up with elemental shields, trying to hinder Xing's actions.

However, with a flick of the flaming spear, Xing broke through the obstruction and rushed towards the lady with the spear, with a smile on his face:

"If you lose this time, you will lose in public, my dear Rosaline! If your subordinates see your loss of composure, your career as a Fatui executive will surely be over, right!?"

In response to Star, the lady used her usual turtle-shell-like defense methods - ice bombs, ice walls, and ice spikes.

If Xing was still in the destruction form, he might have to spend a little more effort, but now facing the lady in the first form, Xing only had to do one thing -

"Flame Spear—Charge!"

As flames shot up into the sky, all of the lady's defenses were instantly destroyed, and many of the Fatui beside her were also blown away by the shock wave of fire.

"You damned—"

The lady was shocked and angry - why did this guy's power change again! ?

But since you are fire, I will burn you with flames as well!

This time, even if it means burning myself to ashes, I will...

With a whoosh sound, a blue arrow filled with torrents cut through the sky and fell into the crowd of Fools. The exploding water element instantly blew several people away.

Xing and the lady were both surprised - who?

Following closely behind was an ice arrow. The effect of this arrow was even more astonishing. Before it hit the ground, it exploded into countless ice spikes like an air-burst bomb, freezing several Fatui soldiers in place.

There are experts too! ?

At the same time, a ghostly blue afterimage, like a ghost, quickly approached several Fatui on the periphery and wrapped a thin blue thread around them. The next second, as the figure appeared, the thread exploded and several Fatui were knocked down instantly.

Xing and the lady subconsciously stopped what they were doing - because in addition to this newcomer, there were also a large number of Thousand Rock Army soldiers around.

On a tree trunk farther away, there was a female archer in black stockings with a bow and arrow drawn. The arrow was condensed with the power of ice and there was a pair of horns on her head. It was obvious that the powerful ice arrow just shot was shot by her.

"Please stop here, ma'am."

The person was tall, wearing a leather jacket that matched her dark blue hair color very well. On her smooth shoulders, she had a white plush coat draped over her smooth shoulders. Her slender thighs were covered with seductive hollow shots. Her whole temperament was as mysterious and attractive as an orchid blooming at midnight.

She gently lifted her slightly messy side bangs, ignored the Fatui soldiers who were on high alert, and stared at the lady.

"This is Liyue's territory after all. Even if they are envoys from Zhidong, it's a bit too much to start a war right under our noses."

The lady gnashed her teeth in extreme reluctance:

"People from the Liyue Seven Stars? Humph... I knew you had been monitoring me for a long time?"

The other person shrugged:

"After all, you are the executive officer of the Fatui. Besides... you haven't been very honest recently."

The lady waved her hand angrily:

"What happened here has nothing to do with you, the Seven Stars of Liyue! This is a personal grudge between me and her! It's not your turn to interfere!"

Xing also quickly echoed:

“Yes, yes! Although I am very grateful, I am not from Liyue after all, so I would rather not trouble you for your help!”

The other party frowned slightly:

"The Seven Stars of Liyue have no interest in getting involved in your feud, but I say again, this is Liyue's territory, and Liyue has its own rules."

In response to her words, the soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army all around her lowered their spears and prepared to attack.

[This diplomatic attitude is much tougher than Mond’s.]

The lady's expression was uncertain. An older servant hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and carefully advised:

"Sir...if we have a conflict with the Qianyan Army now..."

"..."

The lady immediately gritted her teeth again.

But in the end, Rosaline still squeezed out the word "retreat" through her teeth.

She glared at Xing fiercely. If looks could kill, Xing would have been cut into pieces by now.

"Remember, next time, you will never be so lucky!"

[This is actually what we want to say]

Xing was suddenly disappointed - it seemed that he couldn't do it today.

Soon, the lady led the Fatui to retreat, and those who were knocked down were all helped or carried away by their teammates.

The Qianyan Army soldiers then lowered their guns slightly, and Xing also put away his flame spear, looked at the blue-haired woman, and said very politely:

"Thank you for your help, big sister. What's your name?"

[Hey! Look! She has a big mole on her chest, so cool~]

"Just call me Ye Lan. I'm just a consultant at the Liyue General Affairs Department."
