Winter Executor, starting with a system of wronged individuals.

Fortunately, Mondstadt doesn't have a Northern Bank, so no matter how much Mora Suming spends, it won't be that fast.

This was the only good news. Pantalone didn't expect Su Ming to give him such a blow so quickly. No wonder this guy had specifically mentioned the funds before. It turned out he had already planned how to spend them!

She even knew to write a letter to thank him, and Pantalone read six words from the letter.

For Her Majesty the Queen.

All I can say is that Su Ming understands how to exploit Her Majesty's Mora for the sake of the Empress, right?

Only a hermit could be so shameless; most people wouldn't have such a thick skin. Pantalone has never seen anything so outrageous before.

Even the young master has never spent so much Mora at once!

Chapter 048 I am Liben, a merchant from Liyue

Long time no see, Xiao Sang.

The scenery in Mondstadt is beautiful, and the white silk of the lily of the valley is lovely too.

Sometimes I still think of your white hair, but we'll talk about it again when winter comes.

Thank you for the white stockings and leather shoes. You truly understand me best.

The dandelions here are beautiful, just as lovely as your face.

Su Ming.

“I can’t see any dandelions,” Sandonne said, putting down the letter with his chin in his hand and sighing with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

This guy is shameless; he's trying to corrupt a perfectly good novice nun into a pervert like himself.

Sandonne suddenly noticed that the envelope was bulging, and picked it up upside down in confusion.

The pure white dandelions fall, somewhat withered, but still showing traces of their freedom.

The dandelions were reflected in Sandonie's eyes, as if she were seeing a vast world she had never been to.

Shouldn't we... go out and take a look?

Let go of the past and try to accept this world.

Sandone pursed her lips, smiled, and carefully collected the dandelion, intending to make it into a specimen and hang it on the bedroom wall in a few days.

That hermit guy, surprisingly, understands girls quite well.

Sandonie hummed a little tune and rolled around on the bed several times.

Another letter was delivered to Columbia at this time.

Columbia sat at her desk, looking at the address on the envelope and smiling slightly.

------

Miss Columbia, I hope this letter finds you well.

It's been a long time since we last met. I wonder how you've been, and if you've missed my cooking.

I'm taking good care of Linglan, so don't worry. She's a sensible and good girl.

The air in Mondstadt wasn't as cold as in winter; it was filled with the scent of freedom.

I miss your white stockings. When I apply for some funding later, I'll send you a camera to remember this moment. Remember to take lots of pictures of your white stockings.

Su Ming.

Columbia smiled and took out a well-preserved chrysanthemum from the envelope; its vibrant petals were exquisitely beautiful.

The wind can indeed bring longing, and you can smell a fresh scent in the envelope.

Have a safe journey.

Colombia murmured softly, carefully placing the envelope into her desk drawer.

Mondstadt.

Linglan walked to the door of room 512 at the end of the corridor and gently knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

"Please come in."

The man's calm voice came, and Linglan gently pushed open the door.

Su Ming stood by the window, overlooking the entire city of Mondstadt. He wore a half-white mask with black patterns on it, revealing only his nose and mouth.

"How about it?"

Su Ming gestured to Linglan that she didn't need to be so reserved and could sit casually on the bed.

As Linglan sat on the soft bed, she felt like she was sinking into it. She shifted her position slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. She had never slept on such a soft bed before, as if she were lying in a pile of cotton.

“As you expected, the Knights of Favonius did not reject my proposal, but they still seemed somewhat distrustful of me,” Lily noticed the hidden gaze following her, seemingly observing her movements.

"It's alright. You are the official Winter's Messenger, and you don't even have the Eye of God. Their vigilance won't last long."

Su Ming gently stroked Linglan's soft, black hair. The girl's pretty face unconsciously flushed slightly, and she felt even more embarrassed when she thought of what had happened in the carriage.

When she was out in public, Linglan rarely showed such an expression, but in front of Su Ming, the little nun found it difficult to maintain her cold demeanor.

"Can I really do it?" Linglan took a deep breath; her deep-seated inferiority complex still constantly influenced her way of thinking.

We must do our best so as not to disappoint the Hermit's expectations.

“You’ve done very well,” Su Ming patted Linglan’s shoulder, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Revealing his existence as the executive officer too early would only alert the Knights, making it impossible to freely gather intelligence.

Su Ming chose to have Linglan make contact with the Knights as the person in the open, while he would remain in the shadows to complete the Queen's mission.

Lily of the Valley's age and appearance can serve as a deception, but the most crucial point is that she doesn't have the Eye of God, which is the key to maintaining balance.

"Hoo..." Linglan breathed a soft sigh of relief, her budding breasts rising and falling slightly, indicating that she was not holding back.

"Don't underestimate yourself, you're already very good."

Su Ming realized that what Linglan lacked most was affirmation. No matter how outstanding a child is, an insecure child will instinctively deny themselves because of the inferiority complex caused by past experiences.

Linglan bit her lower lip slightly, her bright eyes looking at Su Ming, "Are you... trying to comfort me?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

Su Ming chuckled and pointed to the lunch he had bought in advance on the table, which was a steaming hot dish of fried pork with carrots in honey sauce. "Eat first. Thank you for your hard work today."

Lily of the Valley smiled and sat down at the table to begin eating seriously.

Su Ming had noticed this while they were in the carriage: Linglan ate very quickly, and her plates were so clean that they didn't even need to be washed.

"tasty…!"

Lily of the Valley's eyes lit up slightly; she had never tasted this kind of food before, even in the dead of winter.

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back," Su Ming said with a smile as he bid farewell to Linglan and left the hotel.

He definitely couldn't act with Suzuran, as that would directly expose their relationship.

To be on the safe side, Su Ming decided to scout out the situation alone first. After all, Rosalin was the one actually doing the work, and he was just an ordinary scout.

The sun in Mondstadt is bright and clear, while the winter sun is a touch of warmth in the cold. Mondstadt is pure light.

"Hey-ha!"

A loud and clear shout rang out not far away. Su Ming hadn't intended to go, but a system notification suddenly appeared in front of him.

Daily quests are now available.

[Is that how it was done? (Bonus Primogems awarded based on how outrageous the conditions were)]

It's just a rough stone; even a dog wouldn't want it.

"good afternoon."

With a bright, cheerful, and healthy smile on his face, Su Ming walked toward the girl holding the knight's sword.

The girl blinked, noticing that Su Ming was a rare unfamiliar face, and asked in confusion, "Good afternoon, are you a foreign tourist?"

“That’s right, I’m a merchant from Liyue. You can call me Liben.”

Without batting an eye, Su Ming gave a false name and then approached the wooden stake, feigning curiosity, to ask, "Miss Knight, what are you doing?"

"I am Eileen... and I am striving to become a knight!"

Eileen always felt that this guy named Liben was a bit strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about him.

"I'm looking for a way to destroy all these wooden stakes at once."

Chapter 049 "An Ordinary Bard"

"Sword light flashes like a shadow, cutting through all the chaos!"

"what?"

Eileen's eyes widened as she watched Su Ming, who had just been performing a feat of drawing a long sword with his bare hands, suddenly transform into six shadow clones, instantly slicing all the wooden stakes in front of him into pieces.

It left an indelible impression on young Eileen.

"So...so that's how it was solved!"

It turns out that it wasn't that she hadn't found the right method, but rather that the cheat code she used wasn't powerful enough!

[Gained 90 Primogems, plus an additional 70 Primogems]

[Rating: B]

"Isn't this outrageous enough?" Su Ming muttered to himself. Did it have to be a complete upheaval to be considered powerful enough?

Eileen's gaze toward Su Ming became much more complicated. These days, even a random merchant is so powerful, so what kind of knight is she?
