Lumine looked at the invitation letter Ganyu had left in her hand and sank into thought.
“There is no harm in going to take a look, Traveler.
Ningguang is not your enemy.” Zhongli took a sip of hot tea and spoke.
“Mm.
The date of the invitation is tomorrow.
I will go.” Lumine nodded.
She had already made her decision.
Velina rubbed her still-flat little abdomen and let out a small burp of satisfaction.
When Ganyu left earlier, she hadn’t forgotten to shoot Velina a resentful glance, which put her in a very good mood.
Hehehe.
This is the joy of being an author.
My happiness is built upon your suffering.
“Boss, the bill.”
Seeing that everyone had more or less finished eating, Zhongli waved and called over the owner of Third-Round Knockout.
“Mr.
Zhongli, how was the meal?”
The owner clearly recognized Zhongli.
“Not bad.” Zhongli nodded.
“Delicious and reasonably priced, no different from before.”
“That’s good, that’s good.
To receive Mr.
Zhongli’s recognition is an honor for Third-Round Knockout.
Let me see… ah, altogether two hundred and twenty-three Mora.
Two hundred and twenty is fine.”
The owner handed the payment slip to Zhongli.
Zhongli accepted it and nodded, then began searching his person for Mora.
The result, naturally, was that he found nothing.
After all, as everyone knows, Morax has no Mora.
Zhongli finished his search and put the payment slip into his pocket.
“As for the bill, just send it to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor the same as before.”
The owner was just about to agree when he suddenly felt a wave of coldness.
“Consultant— didn’t you say you were treating?”
Hu Tao narrowed her eyes.
Her entire person radiated an aura named “danger.”
So the treating was done by you, but the bill ends up going to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?
“Then send it to the Northland Bank instead.” Zhongli said again.
“This person… really has no concept of Mora at all.” Paimon leaned close to Lumine’s ear and quietly complained.
“Mm.” Lumine nodded in agreement.
Velina also felt that Paimon’s words made a lot of sense.
Excellent.
A world where only Childe’s wallet gets hurt has been achieved!
Lumine and Paimon said their goodbyes first.
Zhongli also seemed to have something to attend to and left as well.
Only Velina and Hu Tao remained walking along the street.
“When the sun comes out I bask in the sun, when the moon comes out I bask in the moon…”
Hu Tao looked at the pure white moonlight and softly hummed a crude poem she had written herself.
Her footsteps were light and cheerful, her ponytail swaying, like a fire butterfly dancing under the moon. The source of this chapter is g.com.
Then, for some reason, she suddenly raised her arm and sniffed her sleeve.
“Mm… the smell of food.”
“Velina, Velina.”
Hu Tao bounced over to Velina’s side again.
“Hmm?”
“Want to go soak in a hot spring?”
“Mm… hmm?”
Velina, who had been admiring the night scenery of Liyue Harbor, first nodded subconsciously, then quickly reacted.
“This is also one of Liyue’s specialties.
I haven’t taken you to experience it yet.
Come on, come on, let’s first go back to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to prepare.”
Hu Tao seemed to have gotten interested and pulled Velina along, quickening her pace quite a bit.
Velina could only helplessly allow herself to be dragged.
They returned to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, took a change of clothes, then left Wangsheng Funeral Parlor once more and arrived near Yujing Terrace.
Yuehai Pavilion.
Keqing stood up while yawning.
Seeing that Ganyu still showed not the slightest intention of getting off work, she couldn’t help speaking.
“Miss Ganyu, are you still not getting off work?”
Only then did Ganyu, who had been immersed in the complicated official duties, raise her head.
“There are still many important matters that need to be handled.
Today I spent too much time reading Miss Velina’s novel.”
She had originally planned to read for a little while and then stop.
Who would have thought that once she started reading she simply couldn’t stop?
Until she finished it and was successfully stabbed by Velina.
However, in Ganyu’s heart there was still some confusion.
As a half-adeptus beast, after signing a contract with the Archon, she had already lived in Liyue for a thousand years.
She was not some pampered young lady.
She had witnessed countless matters of life and death among mortals.
Many of them were even more tragic than what was written in the book.
Yet in her heart, it was already as if out of habit that it was difficult for any great emotion to rise again.
This was erosion.
The story in the book, however, had made her shed tears, and even until now her mood had yet to recover.
Why was that?
Ganyu couldn’t figure it out.
Listening to Ganyu’s words, Keqing thought of how she had also heard Ningguang mention this person, and she became somewhat curious.
Just a novel author—was she worth this much attention?
“Miss Keqing, would you like to read it?
I can lend it to you.”
Ganyu pointed at the novel in front of her.
“Alright.”
Keqing nodded and agreed.
Mm, I’ll find time to read it.
For now I’ll go soak in a hot spring first.
The departure of the Archon had triggered an enormous chain reaction.
Right now she really needed to relax a little.
===✧✦✧===
What do girls think about when they bathe?
As for her, every time she only wanted to finish as quickly as possible.
Having transmigrated for so long, she had more or less accepted her current identity.
The most obvious signs were that she could put on little dresses without changing expression, and that she no longer combed her hair into a complete mess like she had at the very beginning.
But there were always exceptions to everything.
Every time she bathed, Velina only felt especially awkward.
She usually just closed her eyes and simply rinsed herself.
She didn’t know whether it was because of her identity as a transmigrator or the effect of elemental power, but her body had always been quite clean.
Even if she didn’t bathe, she still smelled fragrant.
But now…
Velina raised her head and looked at the hot spring plaque in front of her, as well as the white mist faintly rising further away.
She took a deep breath, as if she had made some kind of resolution.
Then she lifted her foot and followed Hu Tao.
In the changing room, what made Velina let out a breath of relief was that there weren’t many people inside.
Even so, a subtle sense of guilt inevitably rose in her heart.
She always felt like a hooligan who had barged into a women’s bathhouse.
But if she thought about it carefully, with her current appearance…
It somehow felt like she was the one at a disadvantage!
“Eh, Velina, why are you spacing out?”
Hu Tao looked at Velina standing there in a daze and couldn’t help reminding her.
Only then did Velina come back to herself.
After responding, she began slowly taking off her clothes.
The air was filled with moisture that soaked into her hair strands.
While emptying her mind, Velina noticed that Hu Tao had somehow approached her side at some point.
Those eyes engraved with plum blossoms were staring tightly at her.
She leaned close to Velina’s neck.
Warm breath brushed against her skin as she took a strong sniff.
“Velina, you smell so good.”
Has your Kaslana bloodline awakened, Hu Tao?
Velina was choked by Hu Tao’s sudden words and couldn’t help coughing.
Although she also knew that there was a faint fragrance on her body, why did hearing these words from someone else’s mouth feel so strange?
And Hu Tao, can you stop staring the whole time?
“Is it the scent of the perfume paste from Chunxiang Kiln?
It doesn’t seem like it either.
They don’t have this kind of scent there.” Hu Tao actually began analyzing it seriously.
At this moment, however, Velina furrowed her brows and realized something was wrong.
No, what am I getting shy about?
She simply also leaned close to Hu Tao and sniffed at her neck.
Then she nodded in recognition.
“Hu Tao is the same.
It’s the scent of plum blossoms.”
By this time Hu Tao had already wrapped herself in a bath towel.
Velina seriously looked her over.
How should she put it?
Mm, small is also very cute.
Hu Tao: ?
“Velina, why does your gaze give me the feeling that I’ve been offended?”
