Chapter 542: Lady’s Relief.

[On the face of the wanderer, I saw only despair. ]

[Think about our six years in middle school and high school, and then put it into the perspective of the wanderer ~ you will understand why he is desperate...]

[The episode that the people of Dragon Country least want to see. 】

[This is the love from my aunt~]

[Others give private lessons to improve learning efficiency and grades, but the real private lessons are to increase the amount of learning. ]

[This is the deepest love from my aunt! ]

"Ugh...that sounds miserable."

"The past is over, no need to mention it again." Rurouni waved his hand and said, "Anyway, Marshal, please don't embarrass me."

"I only stayed in Xumi for a short period of time."

"I can't say I'm unfamiliar with Xumi, but my understanding of it is about the same as yours, or maybe even less than yours."

"After all, it was a long time ago that I went to Xumi to study, so it's not appropriate to travel together."

"But these travelers need my help, and I will definitely lend a hand."

The wanderer refused to go with the traveler on the journey to Xumi, but said he would lend a hand if the traveler needed it.

“We are the same in this regard.”

Paimon crossed his arms and said, "If you run into any trouble while Sumire is chasing the Doctor, be sure to come find us!"

Ying nodded, agreeing with Paimon's statement:

"We are friends and comrades who have fought side by side."

"I'll remember it." Rurouni smiled and patted his chest.

[I have a problem? Why do I feel like this is a flag? ]

【You are not alone. 】

[MiHoYo, I warn you not to cause trouble! If you dare to give out knives during the Lantern Festival, I will (pistol, miHoYo.jpg)]

[miHoYo: There are indeed no knives during the Lantern Festival! But we can’t guarantee that after the Lantern Festival~]

"Then I'll be leaving first. I wish you a happy Lantern Festival."

Rurouni said goodbye to Ying and Paimon.

When the lady saw her cellmate leaving, she wanted to follow him.

Anyway, she was bored, so who would she follow? Besides, she could chat with him. She always felt that she and Rurouni were quite compatible.

"Wait, ma'am."

Ying suddenly called out to the lady.

The lady stopped walking, turned around and asked, "Hmm? Do you want to take advantage of me now that I don't have the evil eye?"

"You can give it a try. Even if I don't have the evil eye, I won't necessarily lose to you... provided that the person next to you doesn't make a move."

Xiaojun Bai: (???)

"No, I just want to ask..."

Ying walked up to the lady and said, "Is this who you are now your true self? I want to know why you became like that."

"Of course, if you don't want to tell me, that's fine."

"We are enemies after all."

[Is the Teyvat Succubus going to start attacking ladies? 】

Will he win?

[This is a young woman who is over 500 years old! Can the traveler's small body withstand it? ]

The lady looked directly into Ying's eyes.

Clean, clear, without a trace of impurities. She was really curious about why she had fallen into the state of a witch.

Hmm...curious isn't the right word to describe it.

Is this... mercy?

The lady stretched out her hand, clenched her five fingers and placed them in front of Ying, then suddenly raised her index finger and hit her on the forehead.

"Ouch~" Ying cried out in pain.

"Traveler!" Paimon flew over to check the situation, then stomped his foot at the lady, "You're a surprise attack."

"She was the one who meddled in other people's business first."

The lady put her hands on her waist and said, "Traveler, has anyone ever told you that you are nosy?"

"Next time you face an enemy, put away your kindness."

"Otherwise, it will just be like what is happening now, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage."

The lady put down her hands, turned away, and said:

"But I don't hate people like you."

"A long time ago, I also longed for freedom and poetry."

"Until I lose everything."

"Anger and hatred consumed everything in me. Mondstadt's fear of me forced me to leave my hometown."

“So even though the queen rescued me later, I still hated that land and the gods it believed in.”

“But now I don’t care anymore.”

"Someone made me feel relieved and let it all go."

"If I had met you at that time, maybe I would have woken up earlier, but unfortunately there is no if."

"Although we have lost our reasons for being enemies, Her Majesty the Queen has done me a favor, and I will still serve Her Majesty the Queen."

"Goodbye, traveler. The next time we meet will be on Xumi."

The lady's figure disappeared at the end of the street.

[Madam, this is considered to be cleansing. 】

[From the initial hostility to the bad impression left, and then to letting go of the hatred now, this character is quite complicated. ]

[This is not so much a whitewash as it is a reshaping of the lady's personality, or a reestablishment of her personality. ]

【Perhaps one day in the future we can expect ladies to enter the pool. 】

……

Return home.

With complicated feelings towards the lady, Ying and Paimon followed Xiaojunbai and Yiya to Guili House.

As I approached the door, I heard melodious piano music coming from inside.

Listening to the familiar piano music, Ying subconsciously looked at Xiao Junbai.

In response to Ying's question, Xiao Junbai nodded, then motioned for her to push open the door of Guili House.

“The wind carries the seeds of stories.”

As the piano music came to an end, a familiar boy's voice was heard.

“Time makes it germinate.”

Paimon replied casually.

This is an inscription found in a ruin in Mondstadt, which left a deep impression on Ying and Paimon when they were exploring the ruins.

Then Paimeng realized it belatedly and said in shock: "Wait..."

"This voice is..."

In the courtyard of the Guili House, a bard with dark green hair and a hat was holding a harp, surrounded by children.

The bard looked towards the door of Guili House, smiled at Ying and Paimon who pushed the door open and said:

"Welcome the great hero of Liyue, and... our Mondstadt's honorary knight and her guide elf!"

——Digression

I'm kind of glad that there are four updates in the whole month of February, otherwise it would take me three months to write the content of version 2.

I updated four times a day in almost the entire month of February, and wrote about a hundred chapters. Otherwise, the progress bar for version 2 might not even be halfway through.

Come to think of it, after all, it's not the main storyline of every version, and Lao Bai has a suitable reason to participate in it.

So when it comes to the part where Lao Bai can participate, the plot will only be extended if it is written in detail...

I feel tired just thinking about it...

I guess you will feel tired watching this...
