Winter Executor, starting with a system of wronged individuals.

I'm so angry! Why wasn't it her?!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get; the more I back down, the more painful it becomes. I should have insisted on being the brightest third wheel.

But the thought of Sandone, who was still fast asleep in the mechanical workshop, made Lily feel inexplicably much better. Well... with Sandone by her side, it wasn't a complete defeat; at best, it was a draw.

Linglan hummed a cheerful little tune. Anyway, she wasn't a loser. There was plenty of time. When she arrived in Liyue, it would definitely be her time to shine.

Chapter 155 I Just Want to See You

“Speaking of which, the first person I saw after waking up from the ice coffin was you,” Su Ming stopped and turned his gaze to Columbia beside him.

Her flowing, jet-black hair, adorned with deep red accents, added a touch of sanctity. Her beautiful face, so stunning it seemed to possess a divine radiance, made it impossible to harbor any thoughts of desecration. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and although her eyes remained closed, no one doubted the beauty of Columbia's eyes—they must have been exceptionally beautiful.

Columbia smiled serenely, just as she had at the beginning. "Yes," she said, her smile undiminished, her light steps indicating that she was indeed in a very good mood.

She had promised to find him, and that promise would never change. It was both a way of repaying what had happened and a choice made in accordance with her heart.

She wanted to do it, just for the same reason that her teacher had once done for her.

The first glance is also the beginning of a new life.

Su Ming couldn't quite figure out Columbia's thoughts. In fact, he had never been able to guess what the girl in front of him was thinking, as fleeting as a cloud in the sky.

The two walked out of the side door of the Winter Church, a little-known passageway reserved for the nuns, where leaving the church would not cause a commotion.

Columbia's popularity can only be described as terrifying. Every time she appears, it causes an exaggerated chase, which always ends with the Fools driving the crowd away.

“You never seem to be curious about my past,” Su Ming said carefully. Columbia was special; all the other executives were interested in his past in various ways, but the third seat girl was different. She simply took him to see the city called Winter Solstice.

Columbia paused for a moment, then her smile brightened. "Your past doesn't matter. Who you were in the past doesn't affect who you are now. I only care about..."

"You are you, and that's fine."

Columbia's voice was light and deliberate, and she couldn't say more at this moment, but as she had said before, she was good at waiting. She had already waited for such a long time since then, so what was a little longer?

Su Ming still didn't understand, but he could grasp other meanings, such as care and longing. Columbia gradually stopped hiding her true thoughts from him, which was completely different from a month ago. At that time, Columbia was just as gentle, but she couldn't touch his true heart.

Today's Colombian is more real, more like a "person" with a soul.

Crossing a slope that wasn't particularly steep, the two continued upwards along the road on the side of Winterfell. From here, they could easily overlook the entire city, with billowing hot steam propelling the icy capital forward.

"We have to part again," Columbia said softly. As an executor, she was temporarily unable to leave Winterfell or stay by Su Ming's side. All she could do was pray for him peacefully in the church.

Separation is a constant in life. Columbia's life has always been about parting, from a long, long time ago to the present. She seems unable to hold onto anyone she cherishes. Everything before her eyes slips through her fingers like sand. She can't grasp those precious memories, which, like sand, merge into the desolate wilderness and eventually vanish into nothingness.

“I will come back to see you,” Su Ming said with a slight smile. He held Columbia’s wrist and slid it down gently, touching the girl’s cold palm. Unlike Sandone, Columbia’s hand was like a furnace covered in solid ice. As long as you warmed it up a little, you could feel the warmth hidden inside.

"Is this a promise, or...?"

Another parting?

Colombia's slightly trembling eyes revealed no emotion, and her slightly shaking hands proved that her inner self was not as calm as it appeared.

"The sun is about to rise."

Su Ming stopped in his tracks, and his vision suddenly opened up. They had reached the end of the road, and the dawn arrived as expected, bringing warm light and new hope.

This is true every day.

"It's not a promise, I just want to see you."

Su Ming's voice made Columbia tremble slightly, but her hand holding his stopped trembling. The sunlight gradually fell on Columbia's pretty face, dispelling the shadows.

In the sunlight, Columbia gently opened her eyes. Under the holy radiance, her pure golden pupils shone like gold, reflecting the last image of a certain era.

"I am waiting for you."

Just like in the past.

Like now.

The future will be the same.

Colombia's eyes held a faint watery hue, shimmering as the light and shadow of the era fell upon them.

...

...

"Remember to come back and see me," Sandone said, pouting reluctantly, but not in a haughty way. Instead, she said seriously, "After you go to Liyue, you're not allowed to touch other women's white stockings. At most, you can only touch Little Lily of the Valley's!"

Su Ming was both amused and exasperated. He patted Sandoni's head and said, "Don't worry, I'm devoted to you, my wife. I would never touch another woman's white stockings."

Well, anyway, Liyue wears black stockings, so he doesn't have any white stockings to touch.

Linglan stood beside Su Ming with a big smile on her face. Her lips were already curled up to Liyue Harbor. It was worth it for her to endure hardship in Winterhold these past few days. It was finally time for her to take center stage as the little nun!

Goodbye Winterfell, never to return!

The time to leave has come. Although there is still some reluctance in his heart, as the executor, Su Ming still has to complete the Queen's mission, go to Liyue Harbor, seize the Heart of the Geo Archon, and continue the plan to seize the power of the gods.

However, unlike the behind-the-scenes figure in Mondstadt, this time it seems they are about to truly step into the limelight and become the final step in completing the mission.

Su Ming boarded the carriage, their destination being Ice Harbor in Winterhold. From there, they could take a boat directly to Liyue Harbor, which was much more convenient than the carriage.

Most importantly, boating is so comfortable! Isn't that much better than being crammed into a small space in a horse-drawn carriage?

Su Ming was very satisfied. Judging from the Queen's financial situation, the ship she was on must be the most luxurious cruise ship. Wouldn't he be able to touch the little nun's white stockings while enjoying the sea breeze?

Beautiful! Wonderful! Praise be to the Queen!

The carriage slowly drove away from Winter City. About three hours later, Su Ming saw the distant ice harbor from the window. Neatly arranged cargo ships were docked at the edge of the pier, and countless containers were piled up on both sides of the port. This was Su Ming's first time in Winter City outside of Winter City.

"Ice Harbour is the safest shipping route in winter, and there are icebreakers on a fixed route every week to carry out ice removal work along the route."

Linglan also put on her thick, warm coat again, hiding her beautiful curves under the clothes, and reliably became Su Ming's commentator.

Chapter 156 Su Ming himself had no objections

【Rich Man's Number】

Sponsored by the wealthy Pantalone, the ninth executive of the Fools, this ship offers the ultimate in luxury, with tickets being extremely difficult to obtain. It is one of the few sightseeing cruise ships in Winterfell. Although it is designed for travel, it is fully functional and even more reliable than a professional icebreaker.

This is the power of Mora; Mora can transform a sightseeing boat into a warship in an instant.

“Su Ming’s whereabouts are being kept secret, and the ship we’re using will also be able to conceal your identity as an executive officer. At Liyue Harbor, we’ll just register you as an ordinary passenger,” Linglan said earnestly, holding her notebook as she explained the logistical arrangements for the operation. Of course, these were all items that Winter had already prepared, and there were many other hidden items that she hadn’t mentioned.

White silk massage, ice cream on face, late-night stunts (crossed out).

The main reason is that Miss Lily is too embarrassed to say it. Anyway, once she's on the ship, she can do whatever she wants. Since Sister Sandone and Lady Columbia aren't around, she, the little waitress, is invincible!

Su Ming could suppress her with a mere step; that's the true value of the Blessed White Silk. Even a powerful executive could only submit.

"This is truly magnificent..." Su Ming felt this even more strongly after boarding the Rich Man. It was more like a mobile champion on the sea than a ship. The deck alone was enough for him to do somersaults on it 24 hours a day.

Not to mention the countless entertainment facilities, from small photo booths and screening rooms to large outdoor swimming pools. Compared to the carriage ride I took when I went to Mondstadt before, this time it was practically a vacation, and I was even getting it for free with the official funds of the Fatui.

Awesome! I've never had such a wonderful start!

“Brother Su Ming, our room is on the top floor, um... it’s the largest suite,” Ling Lan pursed her lips, her pretty face slightly flushed. After all, she hadn’t rested in the same room with Su Ming for several days, and she was a little embarrassed.

"No rush, let's enjoy the scenery on the deck first."

Su Ming stood confidently by the mast, gazing at the boundless ocean. The ice near the shipping lanes had been cleared away so that it would not affect navigation.

As steam billowed out, the ship's horn sounded, and the entire vessel began to move slowly.

"It's beautiful."

Linglan placed her hands on the railing, her hair fluttering in the sea breeze, but she received no reply from Su Ming for a long time.

"Brother Su Ming...?"

Linglan turned her head and saw Su Ming, whose face was ashen, trembling as he clung to the railing, his face clearly saying, "Let me off the boat!"

"I—Kouqu!"

Su Ming sprayed out a colorful liquid, his vision went black and he collapsed. Who knew he would get seasick!

I should have just taken a horse-drawn carriage!

The great Executor Hermit has tragically fallen into a coma due to seasickness, and it will take another three days to reach Soliyue.

Linglan was a little confused, but after a brief moment of doubt, she was overjoyed. Wouldn't the weakened Su Ming mean that she couldn't do anything to resist him?

Although it was heartless to do this to someone suffering from seasickness, Suzuran believed that Suzu's physical condition would definitely allow her to get through it!

The blush on Linglan's pretty face became even more pronounced. She had been suppressed for a long time in Winter City, and now there was no one around her who could continue to restrain her.

"Brother Su Ming, you don't have any objections, do you?"

Lily of the Valley asked in a cute voice, and after waiting earnestly for five seconds, she nodded with a smile, "Hmm, it seems you have no objections!"

Five minutes later, Linglan brought Su Ming, who was seasick to the point of unconsciousness, back to the room. It has to be said that it is indeed the most luxurious suite. The bed is so soft and large that you could roll around on it for two and a half weeks.

Linglan swallowed hard, her small hand gripping Su Ming's arm, her pretty face burning hot.

She had consulted the parties involved beforehand, and since Su Ming himself hadn't said anything, it was only natural for her to do so!

This is justice!

In his dazed state, Su Ming only felt that his fingers were once again coated with water element, and he could vaguely see Linglan's flushed face.

I slept for a whole day, but thankfully, after a good rest, the seasickness symptoms were relieved, and I was able to move around normally in the room.

Su Ming stretched out his index finger and smelled the familiar scent of snow lotus again. He turned his head and saw the little nun by the window, enjoying the sea breeze and looking refreshed.

Hmm... what exactly happened to him while he was unconscious?

Although he was not very conscious while unconscious, Su Ming could roughly guess what the little nun had done with him. She couldn't have been using him all day long!

Su Ming looked at his fingers, which were soaked and blistered, and fell silent. It seemed that Linglan had really been holding back in Winter City. She was going to be a force to be reckoned with when she finally made a move!

"Brother Su Ming, you're finally awake! We should be able to see Liyue Harbor tomorrow morning," Linglan said with a sweet smile, her eyes crinkling as she ran lightly to Su Ming's side. She said in a serious tone, "I took good care of you while you were unconscious!"

Su Ming was silent for a few seconds. In a sense, he hadn't made him dehydrated. "Then I'll have to reward you properly."

"No, no, it's what a waiter should do."

Linglan was clearly in a very good mood. She readily placed her white-stockinged legs in Su Ming's hands, pouting and saying arrogantly, "When we get to Liyue, you can't take on all the tasks yourself. I can help you."

"Yeah, of course."

Su Ming gently stroked Linglan's long, silver-gray hair, finally landing on her cheek. "You are my waiter."
