I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

Aoyama Nanami still decided to refuse, because the offer was too good and seemed a bit like a scam.

"Don't you want to hear about the job description first?"

"So, what are the job responsibilities?"

Although she refused, she was still a little curious.

"It's just doing laundry, cooking, and cleaning for a rich young lady every day, which is relatively easy."

Although Kaguya Shinomiya's family has a head chef who cooks all the meals and she doesn't need to do anything, she still wants to fool the person first.

"Young Miss? Wasn't this for you?"

“I don’t usually live there. You’re mainly serving that young lady.”

"That's it..."

Aoyama Nanami thought to herself, if that's the case, maybe I can give it a try too.

The young lady must be very beautiful, right? This man might not even be interested in her; maybe he really wants to thank her?

She was hesitant again.

"You must have heard of the Shinomiya family, right?"

"Eh? Is it the Shinomiya family?"

Aoyama Nanami was a little surprised; even he had heard of the Shinomiya family's great reputation.

"The one who hired you this time is the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family. I don't need to tell you how rich the Shinomiya family is, right? You don't need to worry that I'm lying to you. You'll understand when you get there."

"But can an ordinary student like me really do it?"

She has never been in contact with any nobles before. Can she really serve a young lady well?

"How will you know if you don't try?"

"Alright, then please let me give it a try!"

Driven by her dream, Aoyama Nanami changed her mind and decided to give it a try!

If it were really as good as he said, I wouldn't need to work so hard.

Then I will have more time to train as a voice actor, and I will have spare money to enroll in another training course. Most importantly, I won't have to eat only one meal a day anymore.

"Then, come to this address when you have time."

Li Xiao gave her the address of Kaguya Shinomiya's house.

For something like this, all you need to do is tell Kaguya Shinomiya.

Li Xiao left in a good mood.

After all, he has gained both a dark history of Nagasaki Motoyo and is about to acquire Aoyama Nanami.

Li Xiao returned to Mondstadt and found that nothing had happened; everything was still calm.

Ying is off on another mission. I really don't know what's so great about these missions. Wouldn't it be better to just lie down like him?

With more than two months until the Summoning Ceremony, she probably won't be heading to Liyue now.

Barbara, on the other hand, was busy with her work. She had missed two days of work and had accumulated some patients, so she was now extremely busy.

This left Li Xiao, who had hoped to taste her white silk stockings, somewhat disappointed.

As for Eileen, having just obtained the Eye of God, she was quite excited and went around the wilderness looking for monsters to fight one-on-one, honing her swordsmanship.

If I go to find her now, it's not a good idea to make love in the wild.

But what puzzled Li Xiao was that Noelle seemed rather idle today, doing housework at his house, and no one in Mondstadt asked her for help.

He went straight home to check on the situation.

"Master! You're back?!"

Noelle looked at him with a happy expression.

"Noelle, why didn't you go help anyone today?"

"Actually, it's because after I refused to help others many times before, I don't know why, but no one wants to ask me for help anymore."

At this point, her tone became somewhat downcast.

"Isn't this a good thing? Nobody called you, which means nobody's in trouble."

Although Li Xiao felt that most of these people probably thought that once Noelle learned to refuse people, she would probably not help them anymore.

"That seems to be the case... but when I have free time, I don't know what to do, so I thought I'd clean the house again."

"How about we try to improve our combat abilities?"

Li Xiao offered a suggestion.

"Combat strength?"

"That's right. The most important mission of a knight is to protect Mondstadt. You can't do without enough combat power. If you want to become a knight, you naturally have to improve yourself in this aspect."

"Then how can I improve my combat power? To be honest, because I am too strong, I am not used to using ordinary weapons, so it is also difficult for me to learn those sword techniques."

"That's simple, just increase your elemental power, right? Do you want to try using multiple wind elemental powers?"

"Huh? I can use wind elemental power too?"

"Of course, but it requires a little ceremony."

Li Xiao was referring to the ability called the Extraordinary Seed, which allows one to bestow their own ability seed upon another through 'fusion'.

"No problem, I'm willing to try anything!"

"Then let's go to the room and talk about it slowly."

Li Xiao led her into his own room.

Hey~ Looks like I can finally eat Noelle today!

Once inside the room, the two sat on the large bed in the middle. As usual, Li Xiao first asked Noelle to take her black stockings out of her shoes for him to admire.

Noelle had been used to this kind of thing many times before, so she didn't hesitate.

Because Noelle had been busy all day, her black-stockinged feet were already slightly damp and warm as soon as they were taken out of her riding boots.

The sheer texture of the black stockings and the arches of her feet, raised in shyness, only fueled her imagination.

Faced with this food-grade sacred object, Li Xiao approached it with a rigorous attitude. After carefully tasting it, he wiped his mouth and spoke with a serious expression.

"Now, I'll teach you some music knowledge first."

"Okay, okay!"

Although she didn't know why she suddenly wanted to learn music, since it was Li Xiao who said it, Noelle didn't object.

"Then, for the first item, playing wind and string instruments and singing, let me play first."

Li Xiao took out the flute he always carried and brought it to Noelle's lips.

Noel's face flushed as she looked at the flute, but she eventually began to play under Li Xiao's guidance.

After playing the flute and experiencing Noelle's musical skills, Li Xiao spoke again.

"Now that you've finished playing the flute, I need to check your educational background."

"Eh? Why is that?"

Noelle swallowed the white milkshake she had used to soothe her throat and asked a question with some confusion.

"These days, which job in the Knights of Faith doesn't require a certain level of education? How can we help you get into the Knights of Faith if we don't check your qualifications?"

Hearing this, Noelle understood Li Xiao's good intentions and spoke with a touch of shame:

"Yes... Master, actually, I only have an elementary school education."

An hour later, Li Xiao lay down on his own bed, where Noelle had already fallen asleep under his guidance.

After checking her academic credentials, Li Xiao gave Noelle the power seed, and now she can also use the power of the wind element.

He has now given wind elemental power to four people.

Kaguya, Chika, Ai, and Noelle.

He had sensed this power before with Kaguya Shinomiya; although it didn't require the Eye of God, it was extremely weak.

However, according to the system, it can be gradually enhanced if developed slowly.

However, there is a limit to this. Everyone's talent is different, so the limit is also different, and the strength after being developed to the limit is also different.

Speaking of which, I think I also have a stealing skill, right? I was so busy doing it yesterday and today that I forgot to check what I stole.

'System, adjust the skills I've currently stolen.'

[Archery—If you have even a basic understanding of archery, your learning speed will be slightly faster. —From Kaguya Shinomiya]

[Cheating—While playing games, the inspiration for cheating slightly increases. —From Chika Fujiwara]

[Makeup - Has some skill in makeup; can subtly enhance appearance after applying makeup. - From Ai Hayasaka]

[Greatly Increased Strength - Your strength has slightly increased. —From Noelle]

After seeing these stolen abilities, Li Xiao exclaimed in amazement.

"These abilities don't seem to be very useful."

[Stealing skills only involves randomly stealing a small amount of the opponent's abilities, and it's extremely weak. It merely gives the host the possibility of developing in other areas.]

Well, never mind. I wasn't really expecting this skill to give me anything good anyway.

However, if you're lucky enough to steal some rule-based abilities with this skill, it might be worth developing.
