Paimon spread his two little hands out to indicate this.
"However, the 'Golden House' is now being requisitioned by the Seven Stars, so it will probably be even harder to rob than usual."
Juexi tugged at Qibao's clothes, then looked back at Wendy, signaling the two to leave with her. Zhongli, sensing Juexi's intention to leave, also spoke up.
"Alright, now that everything is resolved, we should head back to Yujingtai. Mr. Juexi, Ms. Kiana, Boss Baishu, until we meet again."
Meanwhile, Qiqi was asleep in Kiana's arms, probably exhausted from crying. As a zombie, she didn't need sleep, but now that she's back to human, she'll probably sleep a lot more. Wendy followed behind Juexi, talking as they walked.
"I didn't realize you could do something like this. It's outrageous."
Juexi ignored Wendy as she spoke to Kiana.
"By the way, Qibao, take Wendy to Wangshu Inn and wait for me. I still have some things to take care of here."
"Okay, Captain, come back soon. I think Qiqi must really want to wake up and see you."
"Will do."
Somewhere outside the hut, the "young master" emerged.
"How interesting. This Jue Xi actually possesses such medical skills? This time, you've gathered quite a bit of information. The Seven Stars are using the 'Golden House.' Besides the Emperor's assassinated body, what else could you be hiding in the so-called 'Ancestral Manifestation'? I'm sorry, Traveler. But didn't I warn you long ago? Remember the Liyue proverb: 'Walls have ears.'"
"I wonder if this Tartaglia has ever heard of the ancient Liyue proverb, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'?"
The young master suddenly turned around and saw Jue Xi grinning mischievously behind him, and immediately realized what was happening.
"Haha, so it's Mr. Juexi. Didn't you plan to join the Fools' Clan? Why talk about the oriole? We'll all be family from now on."
"You just said that we'll all be family from now on, not now. I hate it when people eavesdrop on me. How about this, pay up to avoid trouble."
Jue Xi immediately reached out, revealing a face resembling a gorilla reaching out its hand...
"This……"
The young master sighed, "This guy seems to have such a flexible moral bottom line. I thought a fight was inevitable, but it turns out he just wants money."
"Haha, of course, of course. I was being rude. May I ask, Mr. Juexi, how many Mora do you think would be appropriate?"
"Six million."
……
The young master wondered if he had misheard and asked again.
"How many?"
"Six million."
……
"The Eternal Incense just now should have cost three million Mora, right?"
"Yes, but what does that have to do with me wanting six million Mora?"
"Haha, no problem, no problem. But such a large sum of Mora will take some time to arrive. I hope Mr. Juexi understands."
"It's alright, I understand. But I don't want you to take it from the 'Northern Bank' and wait for the 'Rich Man's' approval or anything like that. It's too much trouble. I want your secret stash. Surely a high-ranking executor of the Fools doesn't have less than six million Mora in his own assets?"
"Okay, easy... I'll do as you say..."
At this moment, D'Artagnan gritted his teeth. If this person hadn't been so skilled in both medicine and strength, and hadn't wanted to join the Fatui, he would have already taken action.
"Oh, right, I'm also buying a house in Liyue. I don't have high requirements, just two or three rooms, and the location should be near the Northern Bank."
The houses are easy to find, but those meeting the standards near the Northern Bank are not cheap.
"Mr. Juexi, isn't this going a bit too far?"
"That's going too far. Fine, I won't join the Fools. You can forget about carrying out your plans in a few days. I'll fight you right now. I won't offend the Ice Queen, but I can guarantee you won't be able to fight for a month."
"Haha...haha, Mr. Juexi, you really love to joke. What plans could I possibly have? The house is no problem, no problem. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now..."
"By the way, I need to get Mora and the house before tonight. Bye."
Having achieved her goal, Jue Xi warned the "young master" and, having also gotten her money's worth, happily headed towards Wangshu Inn. The "young master," however, was left speechless, his good mood completely gone.
"Sigh, this guy... forget it. If we can bribe him with Mora, we shouldn't offend him."
Meanwhile, Zhongli also decided to treat everyone to dinner that night!
"A treat, traveler? Did I hear that right? Mr. Zhongli said he's treating us tonight, and he also said he'll be bringing Mora with him this time."
Paimon thought this was really too sudden.
"Paymon, don't look down on Mr. Zhongli like that. He must be very rich. Well, maybe, but I'm not so sure."
"Haha, you two are joking. Mora is just an external thing. Tonight I will take you to visit the port's old cellar, which is praised in real life."
"Gangkou Laojiao? The kind used for drinking?"
"That's right. We'll meet at 'Three Bowls Before Crossing the Harbour' near the pier. See you there!"
Chapter 71 Qunyu Pavilion
Jue Xi, having successfully taken advantage of the "Young Master," happily returned to Wangshu Inn. Upon entering her room, she saw Kiana with outstretched arms, ready to give her a hug.
"Qibao, I'm home~"
Kiana made a shushing gesture in his arms. She gave him a final, emphatical instruction.
"Captain, keep your voice down. I just carried Qiqi to bed a short while ago."
"Hehe, speaking of which, Qibao, don't you think you're quite like a competent mother now?"
"No way, Captain, you're talking nonsense again. What were you doing just now?"
"I made some extra money, and tonight we'll have our own house in Liyue."
"By the way, Captain, you can't just squander your money. Give it to me."
"No, don't worry, as a qualified captain, I'm very good at saving money."
"Alright then, Captain, give me some pocket money."
Qi Bao made a gesture as if reaching out her hand.
"Good good."
Jue Xi agreed and placed a large bag of Mora in Kiana's hands. Kiana weighed it in her hand and thought it was quite heavy. She figured she could deal with it later when the flowers ran out.
Suddenly, Jue Xi thought of something and spoke up.
"By the way, Qibao, can you hit me with the power of the Void Law? I want that, it'll make walking easier."
Kiana was speechless.
"Captain, are you an idiot? All my End Power is on you, and End Power includes all the Herrscher powers before it." (Juexi isn't an idiot, the author is. If a reader hadn't told me, I would have always thought End Power could only control time. Saying this here is just to make sense of the situation.)
"Huh? Is the power of the End really that powerful?"
Kiana rolled her eyes and said.
"Alright, you silly captain, hurry up and cook. Little Qiqi will wake up soon, so make some delicious food to celebrate. Tonight, you can talk to me about Wendy, okay?"
Jue Xi gave a respectful salute and spoke.
"Yes, Commander Kiana."
Juexi left the room and went to the kitchen of Wangshu Inn. After a conversation that was both reasonable and emotional (to Mora), she obtained the right to use the kitchen.
……
After battling it out in the kitchen for two and a half hours, Chef Jue prepared a table full of impressive dishes. After texting Qi Bao to come down for dinner, he remembered something important: Had he lost a lot of points?
"System, tell me, I already have the End Power, what else do I need? Isn't that in your shop a blatant rip-off of points? Give me back my points and a refund!"
"Ahem, your End Power cannot unleash its full potential in Teyvat, while the powers this system gives you can unleash their full potential. In other words, if you, host, do not have the power of the Herrscher of Reason, and try to achieve the same effect as the power of Reason using the End Power, the Heavenly Principle will find that although it cannot defeat you, Teyvat will be finished if you fight. The powers produced by this system can solve this problem."
"Alright, alright, stop reading. You're always right. I want some compensation, so just tell me if that's okay."
"Um... there will be compensation. After you complete this series of missions in Liyue, you will receive an extra reward."
"Little system, you're smart to know what's good for you."
After Juexi finished talking to the system, Kiana brought Wendy and Qiqi downstairs for dinner a short while later.
Wendy could smell the fragrance from a distance as she came down, and couldn't help but marvel at it.
"Wow, I never expected you to be such a good cook, Juexi. I've never heard of you cooking in Mondstadt before."
Jue Xi, on the other hand, had a proud look on her face.
"Hehe, I've only ever made this for my own Qi Bao. Wendy, you're lucky to have gotten this treatment. Most people don't get this privilege. Little Qi Qi, eat more, you're still growing."
Qi Qi's eyes lit up at the mention of growing taller, and she grabbed Jue Xi's arm, asking...
"Can Qiqi still grow taller?"
"Of course, Qiqi, you're practically an immortal with divine eyes now, of course you'll grow taller. Alright, hurry up and eat, or it'll get cold."
Meanwhile, the travelers on the other side also arrived at the "three bowls before crossing the hill" they had agreed upon with Zhongli.
Paimon saw the storyteller say
"Wow, there's a storyteller here, the atmosphere is great."
Zhongli, upon hearing this, offered an explanation from the side.
"The so-called 'real-life praise' refers not only to good wine, but also to a good environment."
The storyteller beside him was meticulously recounting Lord Ningguang's "Jade Pavilion"...
Little Paimon listened to the story
“Ningguang, the ‘Tianquan’, I’ve been hearing this name a lot lately. The people of Liyue are talking about her, the ‘Fatmen’ hate her, and it seems she’s the one who hid the ‘Celestial Ancestor’s Manifestation’. We even saw her once at the ‘Ceremony of Summoning the Celestials’. I wonder what kind of person she really is?”
"I've finally found you, 'The One Who Returned from Jueyun'."
Paimon was still analyzing when he was interrupted by a female voice.
"Who?!"
Paimon looked around but couldn't find anyone. Yingmei got up and pulled Paimon along.
"Paimon, let's go."
“Please wait a moment. I am not a member of the Thousand Rock Army, nor am I a constable here to arrest you. But I am indeed an envoy of the Liyue Septim—I am Gan Yu, secretary of the Moonlit Pavilion, and I have come to see you.”
