Diluc thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Ah, so it's you, the foreign girl who defeated Stormterror. What, are you familiar with Mr. Ji Ming?"

Ying pursed her lips, glared at Ji Ming who was making faces at her, and said angrily, "I don't know him at all!"

Hmm, it looks familiar.

Mr. Ji Ming looked like he had drunk too much. If I'm not mistaken, he probably started drinking right after breakfast and continued until almost closing time.

It's hard to judge. Could this person have an iron stomach?

Mr. Ji Ming doesn't seem like the type to drink heavily. He probably hasn't had a drink in a long time, so he's indulging himself this time.

Diluc regained his composure and asked, "So, why did you flee in such a panic?"

Those in the know answered each question, and Ji Ming, who was drunk, didn't have many concerns and began to brazenly look at Ying's thighs.

Not so good, not as nice as Wendy's.

Look, look, look how well-behaved Wendy is. Even though she noticed the gaze, she still smiled, stretched out her legs, and mouthed, "Want to touch?"

Touching is out of the question. Ji Ming isn't Brokeback Mountain; he has so many women around him with whom he has good relationships. If he works hard and wins over one of them, he can touch both of them, right?

hiss……

As expected, drinking should be done in moderation. Drinking too much is not comfortable at all, except for the headache that comes with being drunk.

However, there was an unexpected surprise during this drinking session: Ying actually went with Wendy to steal the piano.

It's not the piano in the office, but the harp in the church basement.

So how did they end up together?

"If that's the case, let's meet again after we close tonight. I'll bring another one then."

Diluc left first, seemingly believing what Luminous and the others had said, and instead of informing the Knights, he even expressed a willingness to offer help.

As expected of the hero of the night, he's exactly the same as before.

Seeing Diluc leave and with no other customers in the tavern, Ying turned to Ji Ming with a forced smile: "Dear Mr. Ji Ming, why were you licking my palm just now?"

"It's salty, perfect as a snack with drinks."

"Where is it salty?!"

Forget it, arguing with this guy will only drive me crazy, not to mention he's still drunk, and I don't even know if he's faking it.

There's still some time before closing time, and going out rashly would probably lead to encounters with patrolling knights, so it's better to stay in the tavern and wait.

Thinking this, Ying pulled Ji Ming upstairs to sit down, with Wendy and Paimon following closely behind.

"I'm asking you, where is Xiangling?"

Ji Ming propped his chin on his hand: "At the church."

Little Paimon was a little confused: "You guys usually act together, why are you separated today? Did you have a fight?"

"No... no, Xiangling wanted to study the Mondstadt recipes, so she didn't come out with me."

Wendy chuckled: "I can see that. If Miss Xiangling had come along, Amin definitely wouldn't have dared to drink so much."

Ji Ming didn't deny it. He hadn't intended to drink this much at first, but there was just so much to talk about with the Fire and Ice people of Mondstadt, and he ended up drinking too much as they talked.

I don't dare go back now, afraid that Xiangling will poke my forehead and scold me. I can only wait for the alcohol to dissipate a little.

To be honest, Ji Ming wasn't interested in Wendy's plan.

Whether it was stealing the piano or something else, Wendy's plan was a series of interconnected steps, and Ji Ming had no doubt that Ying and Paimon were part of his plan.

It gives off a feeling of a schemer.

Forget it, no matter how many conspiracy theories there are, Wendy is still a lazy bum who likes to "hehehehe," and she's the kind who wants to stick to Ji Ming the moment she sees him, and you can't shake her off.

Ji Ming shook his head, his cheeks flushed: "What are you planning to do?"

Wendy immediately understood: "Get the Sky Harp, then purify the cursed essence."

"The cursed essence?"

Paimon interjected, "It's the red gem you took last time."

Oh, so that's what it is.

Ji Ming pulled it out of the sewn bag in his arms and tossed it directly to Ying, yawning: "I thought this thing was useless."

Little Paimon complained, "How could it be useless? This kind of thing is obviously an important tool for clearing the game."

"Great things happen with great effort; sometimes you can pass a level without tools."

After the banter, Ying is no longer angry. Although she still harbors a bit of a vengeful streak, she is currently very curious about how Ji Ming will defeat the Wind Demon Dragon.

"So, how do you plan to beat the game?"

“I told you, miracles happen with brute force. People like Dvalin are just starved for love. They dare to break into Mondstadt today, and they'll dare to eat people tomorrow.”

Wendy's expression changed, and she quickly asked, "Wait, Armin isn't planning to kill me outright, is he?"

Ji Ming waved his hand, rubbing his temples, and said, "It's not that bad. Let's just use the power of love. Just use the iron fist of love to teach Dvalin a lesson, and it will be purified by the power of love."

Ying muttered quietly, "That's ridiculous."

The crowd was making a ruckus, and soon it was closing time. Diluc arrived with an unexpected person, which instantly chilled the atmosphere.

Qin looked troubled. She perked up and prepared to introduce herself, but when she focused her attention, she saw Ying and Ji Ming behind Wendy and was momentarily stunned.

"Ying? Mr. Ji Ming?"

Ji Ming smiled: "It's me."

He struck a cool pose, and if you ignored the fact that Wendy was supporting him, he could indeed be described as cool. It's just a pity that he's still not very steady on his feet.

Qin was taken aback, then a look of disappointment crossed her face: "So, Mr. Ji Ming is also one of those who planned to steal the Sky Harp?"

"Excuse me, miss, I don't steal the instrument, I only steal your heart."

He distanced himself from the situation and, emboldened by alcohol, uttered an incredibly corny, prehistoric love line.

Ignoring Ji Ming's antics, Diluc also spoke up for Ji Ming, after all, Jean was the helper he had invited, and he couldn't let people misunderstand.

"Jin has set aside her identity as the leader and decided to help you purify the Stormterror in her personal capacity."

Ying: "Beautiful inside and out."

Wendy: "Keen observation."

Ji Ming: "Understands people's hearts, very, very good."

Qin: "?"

Perhaps because everyone was used to Ji Ming's speech, and since he was already drunk, no one paid any attention to him, but simply helped him to sit on a wooden chair to the side.

Qin took the opportunity to pat his head, as if coaxing a child.

Several people loudly plotted, saying they needed to find a member of the Fools and interrogate him, which would probably reveal the location of the Sky Harp.

Wait, wasn't the Sky Harp already stolen? How could it be taken by the Fatui? Was Luminous's strength really that weak?

"Excuse me, who stole the Sky Harp?"

Ying replied, "A woman wearing a cloak."

Are they maids of the Fools? They are indeed suited for this kind of work, but in Ji Ming's impression, maids are usually the secretaries of the executives, or the logistics personnel who sit behind the counter and provide information.

The Fool's Handmaids are officially called Sorcerers, so it seems their main job is fighting.

There's a very strange sense of contrast.

Even so, the fact that the Sky Harp, which was right in front of them, could be stolen can only mean one thing.

Ying, vegetable!

As if she could see through Ji Ming's thoughts, Ying gave him a slap on the elbow and said irritably, "If you're so capable, why don't you go and catch a fool and interrogate him?"

If you grab the lady, you'll have to breathe on her again.

Ji Ming shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Sure, I can arrest whoever I want. Why don't you guys continue talking, and I'll take action after you're done?"

Qin chuckled, "I know Mr. Ji Ming is very powerful, but you're still not fully sober. A hasty attack might alert him. Perhaps..."

Ji Ming's eyes were clear: "You're sober now."

Qin: "?"

fluorescent:"?"

Paimon: “?”

Diluc: "?"

Aside from Wendy, everyone in the tavern started asking questions; they couldn't quite understand how Ji Ming had suddenly sobered up.

Diluc, in particular, has begun to doubt his own brewing process. Dandelion wine is supposed to be a high-proof spirit, so why did it suddenly become sober?

It must be a problem with Mr. Ji Ming's health.

The group abandoned their idea of ​​studying Ji Ming's body and continued their discussion about capturing the Fools. They even extended the discussion further, with Jean and Diluc explaining the grudges between the Seven Kingdoms.

The feud between the seven kingdoms is actually the feud between the seven gods.

It's called a feud, but it's really all about transactions.
