Chapter 10: My first day of slacking off in Mondstadt
Shui Qingli revealed her true emotions only when she returned to her small hotel.
"Fuck, fuck, I was so handsome just now! So handsome, so handsome, Wuhu is so cool."
He was covered in the quilt and laughed like a fool. He was a little panicked just now, but probably because he absolutely did not want to be OOC, he used the water elemental power very easily. He easily grabbed the two Fatui vanguards and scared the lady away.
I am amazed by how handsome I am.
Especially when he stopped and stood in front of the traveler with a calm expression, the gratitude and admiration in the blond boy's eyes made him almost unable to help but grin on the spot.
My best friend is right, Prince Water is yyds, he will never say that Ye Luoli is childish again.
What's wrong with being childish? Did I eat your rice? Being handsome is the only word, and nothing else matters.
After feeling secretly happy for a long time, Shui Qingli finally sat up. After all, he had become Prince Water now, and he couldn't keep looking so ungraceful.
Well, this way, the favor of the God of Wind should be repaid to some extent, right?
Tevarin has recovered, and the dragon disaster in Mondstadt has passed. Next, the country should be able to resume diplomatic relations and normal trade with other countries, especially with Liyue. After all, the God of Wind and the God of Rock are old friends.
It would probably be impossible for him to rent a hotel at such a cheap price after trade resumes. Now Lisa generously lends him money for accommodation and other expenses, on the condition that he talks more about things outside the world.
That's right, the Rose Witch directly treated him as a story file for afternoon tea, and the reason was legitimate. She said it was a chance for him to practice his Teyvatian language. Considering that she spent money, Shui Qingli appropriately talked about some settings of the Ye Luoli Wonderland.
This also made Shui Qingli realize one thing, that is, the Knights of Favonius are indeed poor, but everyone in the Knights of Favonius is not necessarily poor.
Kaeya is the adopted son of the previous owner of the Dawn Winery and the last prince of Kanreya. The Gunhild family behind Jyn is one of the oldest knight families in Mond. Lisa is a rare genius in the Sumeru Order in two hundred years, not to mention Albedo. Alchemy is the most expensive profession, and even little Klee, relying on her ability to develop bombs, has never lacked money to spend. She just has her pocket money managed by Jyn.
So, why are the Knights of Favonius still so poor?
Recalling a time when they had afternoon tea together, Lisa had told him about Ms. Alice and the destructive power of little Klee, and he seemed to have some idea.
There are many ways to make money. He can register as an adventurer like the Traveler. Whether he goes on adventures in the wild or accepts commissions from residents, he will be paid. However, the efficiency is not high. Look at the Traveler, he has completely become a social animal worker.
This is not an insult, he really thought so when he was playing Genshin Impact.
It is said that in the continent of Teyvat, as long as your wishes are high enough, a blue exclamation mark will appear above your head, and a blond sucker will come to fulfill all your wishes.
That’s right, the sucker is me (miHoYo, dare you give me more RGO stones?).
But this is totally out of character for him.
Wearing the shell of Prince Water, Shui Qingli felt a little sad. He looked at his snow-white skin and clothes that had never been stained by dirt. He himself felt that it was not in line with the character setting for such a delicate elf to do messy commissions or fight monsters.
With this exquisite and noble outfit, he obviously looks like a wealthy man. Any thunder-type loli from Xumi would want to rip him off if she saw him. But in the end, he turned out to be just like an old street guy named Yan Shen, without even a single Mora on his body.
Let's go to the sea to take a look tomorrow. If that doesn't work, we'll go to Liyue. During the Demon War, countless demons invaded Liyue and were killed by the old man. Moreover, Liyue is a commercial country, so there must be many sunken ships in the sea.
As the incarnation of water who does not need to breathe underwater, he can go into the water without any scruples, and becoming rich overnight is just around the corner.
The next day, Kong came to thank him and said that he would leave Mond for a while.
Under the tree where the wind rises, the God of Wind blessed the traveler and provided him with a new destination, namely Liyue, which has a history of 6,000 years. The God of Rock has accumulated endless knowledge over the long years, and perhaps he will know about that special "God".
Haha, come on, any one or two of them are fooling people.
Lei Dianying really doesn't know any clues, but Fengshen and Yanshen, the two old foxes, definitely know, they just don't say it out loud.
Shui Qingli complained silently in her heart, but her facial expression remained cold.
"not my business."
"I was just repaying the favor of that god. I had no intention of helping you."
"Hey, how can you be like this!"
Paimon put his hands on his hips in dissatisfaction. What kind of attitude is this person? Although they came to him to thank him, isn’t he too indifferent?
"Paimon."
Kong stopped his companion. He didn't really care about his indifference. They were not very familiar with each other, but he still helped them.
"If you need my help in the future, you can write to me through the Adventurer's Association. Miss Catherine said that Liyue also has an Adventurer's Branch."
The traveler who accepted Miss Catherine's letter delivery mission did not know how vast the land of Liyue was. He was still immersed in what Wendy told him.
Don't forget the meaning of traveling.
Sister, you must have left your own mark somewhere in this world, just like me, right?
I will definitely find you, Ying.
Watching the blond boy's departing back, the elf lowered his eyes, his blue pupils still empty, like the calm surface of water, leaving no trace of anything.
"come out."
He said coldly.
"Crack, snap, snap."
"Oh my, as expected, someone that even Miss Lisa praised is so perceptive."
The man with a sword on his waist, dark complexion and a black eye patch on his face is none other than Kaeya, the cavalry captain of the Mondstadt Knights of Favonius.
"What's the matter?"
To be honest, Shui Qingli has been in Mondstadt for such a long time, but he has never met Kaeya. Perhaps it is because he is busy looking for traces of the Fatui and the Abyss outside, so the two have not had any contact. Otherwise, with Kaeya's character, he would have come to test him long ago.
"Nothing, I just heard that there is another person in Mond who can use elemental power without the God's Eye, so I came to take a look out of curiosity."
Kaia explained innocently with his signature smirk on his face.
"In the dark?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in the aqua-blue elf's eyes, but the thick-skinned cavalry captain ignored it.
"I saw you were having a good chat with the traveler, so I was sorry to bother you. Do you mind, Mr. Shui?"
"Hmph, boring."
After saying this, he left without looking back.
Kaeya looked at the aqua blue figure with thought in his eyes. He had been busy stabilizing Mondstadt recently and had not tried to find out about this person's origins. From what Lisa said, he should be from another world like Ms. Alice, but whether it was true or not remained to be confirmed.
Mond can't withstand a second attack now.
