Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

There's absolutely no need for a stalemate; the goal is to find a plausible excuse to retreat.

Snapped.

Rita seemed to shift her position, instantly grasping Liu Bai's hand.

“Sir, you are an adult now. You can’t always obey the so-called ‘older sister’.”

Rita couldn't ignore Raven's words.

Liu Bai: "..."

Do you two have to drag me into your rivalry?

However, this feeling of being in a chaotic battlefield is... really exhilarating.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Rita, Rita Rossweisse. And you are?"

Upon hearing Rita's self-introduction, Liu Bai turned to look at Raven.

What should I say? Is it okay to just give my name?

“My younger brother, Liu Bai—done it.”

The raven stopped and stood in front of Liu Bai again.

(He really is a brother-obsessed guy.)

Just now, Liu Bai turned around and asked, and he specifically emphasized "dry".

Rita is now 70% convinced of the sibling relationship.

In particular, it is emphasized that this means the marriage is legal?

You must have had ulterior motives when you took in this younger brother!

Rita is quite experienced in dealing with troubled children.

The raven was also helpless; this was a classic case of having to tell countless lies to cover up one lie.

However, Qi was caught in the act by Lin Lita, and after she and Liu Bailiu got into a fight, Qi had no room to back down.

We need to find a way to extricate Liu Bai from this situation—it's obvious that Rita will definitely try to investigate Liu Bai's identity once she gets back.

“I’ll say it again, my brother doesn’t…”

"Sister, why don't we listen to what Miss Rita has to say?"

Liu Bai patted Raven on the shoulder from behind.

The suspected "two women vying for one man" situation has begun to attract the attention of others.

Moreover, Liu Lingbai also saw through the situation. The two of them continuing to argue was just a stalemate.

Yishan

One will not give up on themselves, and the other will not give up on the readily available intelligence.

Continuing the stalemate will only lead to one side compromising or running out of patience.

"...Since you've put it that way, brother, then let's hear it."

"Wait a moment, I need to buy a few more books. Xiao Guizi, come with me."

This guy actually got hooked on the show.

"okay!"

Gui Naifen stood up and followed Liu Bai. After walking a distance, Gui Naifen's cheerful expression instantly changed.

"Boss, I'm really getting more and more interested in writing a book called 'Liu Bai's Earth Journey,' which was performed in Luofu—I think it would be a huge hit."

"Am I finally the main character?"

“You’re such a main character, compared to you I’m practically a nobody,” Gui Naifen said sincerely. “Trouble never stops, and beautiful girls never stop either, it’s definitely the kind of plot that audiences love—but is it really okay to leave those two there?”

"No problem, neither of them is very eager to take action."

"...You bastard, you've crossed the line."

When Liu Baigang left, Du Yinya was still a little confused, but Qi Guoliu realized that this was a perfect opportunity to collude with Ling.

Was this also within Liu Bai's expectations?

...Could that guy actually be a strategist?

Regardless, the raven, having recovered its senses, still warned Rita with a murderous look on its face.

"It's quite a surprise that you're so cold and distant to me," Rita said, completely unmoved by the murderous aura. "The man I fell in love with at first sight turns out to be the enemy's brother. The absurdity of this is comparable to Romeo and Juliet."

"What a blatant lie! Is this the kind of woman who lies as easily as eating and drinking?"

"Each each other."

Rita responded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the raven immediately became alert.

She found out? She's going to take action?

The raven's body was tense.

"See, you didn't tell Mr. Liu Bai about your own affairs either, did you? What if your brother knew that his sister was actually a ruthless killer who doesn't blink an eye..."

Rita misunderstood the change in Raven's aura.

"However, Mr. Liu Bai is quite clever. Perhaps he has already realized something? What do you think?"

Rita gave a meaningful smile.

When she first met Liu Bai, his words made Rita feel that he must know something, which was the basis for Rita's pursuit—although now she has encountered a surprise.

As for extraterrestrial visitors, Rita didn't even consider that possibility—would a normal person throw a hard-won extraterrestrial visitor out onto the street to roam freely?

From the very beginning, this option was not in Rita's mind; her logic remained "to break into the snake's nest and find traces of extraterrestrial visitors."

"Please rest assured, I have no ill intentions towards Mr. Liu Bai... There is just one problem, the pot, you took it, didn't you?" Rita's smile disappeared, and her sharp eyes stared directly at Raven.

"Yes, after I wiped it, a genie appeared. No, I should call him a pot genie. He said that I had freed him and would grant me three wishes."

"An extraterrestrial visitor?" Rita wasn't interested in the raven's nonsense—although she was curious about what the aliens living in the pot looked like.

"No comment."

Chapter Twenty-One: Are you two on a blind date here?

"I'm back. Sister, how did your chat with Miss Rita go?"

After the dance between the five-year-old (Zhong San, Liu) and the white (Cai He Gui Liu Nai Fen Jiu) and the Lin, Li (Ta Jiu and Du Ya) had ended, the atmosphere was visibly stiff—although it hadn't been very good before.

These two are a classic example of people who can't see eye to eye and don't want to exchange a single word.

As they chatted, they started exchanging sarcastic remarks about their differing views on the World Serpent and Destiny. It was only because they were in a library; if this were a quiet alley, these two would probably be pulling out knives and fighting right now.

"If you think something is good, I can change it."

"I had a very pleasant conversation with your sister."

Raven looked annoyed, while Rita was relatively calm—if you ignored the throbbing veins on Rita's forehead.

These two are evenly matched in their verbal skills.

"It's getting late. If you two don't mind, how about I treat the three of you to lunch?"

Rita exhaled and extended an invitation to Liu Bai.

Raven glanced at Liu Bai—after realizing that Liu Bai might be a strategist, Raven decided to listen to Liu Bai's thoughts.

After all, Liu Bai is the key to this "confrontation".

"I shall obey your command."

"You... have pretty good taste."

Upon entering the family-run restaurant, Raven surprisingly complimented Rita.

This is the restaurant she and Xiaokong often frequent.

"I thought you would choose something like a bar."

"What do you think, Mr. Liu Bai?" Rita completely ignored Raven and looked at Liu Bai with a smile.

"Ms. Rita, thank you for your trouble."

Liu Bai gave a very formulaic answer, but Rita showed no dissatisfaction. With the help of a waiter, the four of them found a place to sit down.

then……

Gui Naifen: "..."

One table, two benches.

The current ratio of people is 3:1.

Across from them were Rita, Liu Bai, and Raven.

Here, is Gui Naifen herself.

"emmmm..."

The long benches in the family dining room are the kind that are just right for two people, but a bit cramped for three.

My boss is such a popular and handsome man!

Although the current situation is certainly not simply due to popularity.

Gui Naifen leisurely watched the three people huddled together opposite her.

The material for singing has increased again.

"Does he really have to squeeze in with someone else's younger brother? Shameless."

"We're all adults, there's no reason for us to feel ashamed to sit together, is there?"

(The boss has a really smug look on his face... I can understand, I can understand.)

Under Gui Naifen's gaze, Liu Bai reached out his hand.

"?"

"Ticket money."

"Huh? Isn't it supposed to be a voluntary donation?!"

"...By the way, who is this young lady?"

At this moment, Rita suddenly became somewhat curious and shifted her gaze to the lively and cheerful girl opposite her.

This girl doesn't seem like a "snake" at all.

“Just friends,” Bai replied, turning her head, then nudged Raven with her elbow. “Sis, give me a break.”

I'll take charge.

Today's situation is definitely not a problem; there's absolutely no premise for a fight to break out—but if Raven and Rita continue to bicker, things could get complicated.

It's especially easy to slip up when you're not thinking clearly.

Liu Bai picked up the menu, asked for everyone's opinions, ordered a few dishes, and then looked at Rita: "By the way, Miss Rita, are you a maid from the merchant guild?"

"Yes, they were just transferred from headquarters in the last few days."

Rita had shown her warrior side when she was in the merchant guild, but she couldn't directly reveal her identity as the Valkyrie of Destiny, so she could only go along with what Liu Bai said.

Rita had already anticipated Liu Bai's next question—

"You know my sister? Where did you meet her?" Bai continued to press.

"Of course it's work-related. You know, the Chamber of Commerce is always doing business. As for the relationship, well... in my personal opinion, it's alright. It's just that I really can't imagine that this... she has such a handsome younger brother."
