Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

After the dust settled, the flying swords, now only half their original number, still pierced the engine with undiminished force, dragging the hunters that were "freely soaring" in the sky to the ground.

But what awaited it was a cold, rocky ridge.

After the battle ended, Qin Ye did not let his guard down. He carefully sensed whether there were still fluctuations in the surrounding rock element and finally confirmed that the aura of the Chi and the "One-Eyed Little Treasures" had completely dissipated.

The crisis is over.

Keqing's one-handed sword was sheathed.

Although she was fooled by the Fool, it didn't stop her from lending a helping hand at the crucial moment.

However, the good opportunity to tease the other party is gone forever.

I'm so angry, I'll definitely get my revenge next time.

"You're Capitano's men, aren't you?"

The moment of reckoning arrived, and all the fools froze.

Qin Ye thought the group would try to shift the blame, but to his surprise, a certain unnamed Thunderfire sorcerer revealed all the details within minutes.

"Alexei, step forward!"

Qin Ye pointed out the name of the culprit.

"whispering sound..."

The man still seemed somewhat unconvinced.

Qin Ye did not directly criticize him, but simply showed a kind smile.

"Let me think, you should have a mother and a sister in Zhidong, right?"

"What do you mean?"

A single sentence shattered the facade of stubbornness.

"It's nothing. You're Capitano's subordinate, I have no right to punish you directly."

Qin Ye walked to the other person's side, smiled and whispered, "Although many people have offended me, I am not willing to stoop to their level. However, disobeying orders, putting teammates in danger, and acting independently are all things that I am quite dissatisfied with."

The smile contrasted sharply with the emotionless words, and the whisper sent a chill down Alexei's spine.

"You may disagree with me, but in winter... no, Puccinella won't raise a useless person for nothing, understand?"

Seeing the cold sweat beading on his forehead, he reached out and patted the other person's shoulder: "Get back to the team."

Alexei returned to the group dejectedly, only to be met with Valeria's sarcastic remarks.

"You should thank the Fool."

"Me? Thank him?"

These words only fueled his anger, but he dared not utter a word in rebuttal.

“We are all under the captain’s command, but he remembers the family of a lowly soldier like you.”

The man looked up in a daze.

"The reason I joined the army is because my family is poor. My five younger siblings are currently being taken care of by Master Yu Zhe through subsidies. Otherwise, why do you think I am so devoted to him?"

Alexei's silent gaze gradually brightened.

So what he just said was...

Fortunately, he wasn't stupid, and he understood instantly.

"I thought you were only attracted to the adult's good looks."

Valeria pursed her lips: "...That's a pretty important point, isn't it?"

After the warning, Qin Ye sent the Fools back through the passage, while he himself walked alone into the deep water.

"Hey, you haven't forgotten about me, have you?" A slightly complaining female voice came from behind.

"..."

I forgot about this troublesome person.

A formulaic smile instantly appeared on his face.

"How could that be? We just don't want Lord Yuheng to come down and get dirty. It would soil your exquisite clothes."

"hehe."

Ke Qing now understands that she can't believe a word the smiling man in front of her says.

So she remained silent and simply followed behind him.

Anyway, you wouldn't dare to refuse me to my face.

As the water on the ground grew deeper, some ancient treasure chests lay quietly in their view.

Qin Ye pulled it out and smashed the lock without saying a word.

Keqing: "..."

Let me see what important thing brought me here.

As the lid was lifted, only a small item was placed in the large space.

The Eye of God is dull and lifeless.

Chapter 19 Good lad, you're just flattering the Emperor, aren't you?

"Brother Qin Ye, welcome back...?"

Tatiana's excited words came to an abrupt halt.

A man and a woman walked in side by side from the door.

It's a woman?!

Wait a minute, isn't Brother Qin Ye only the type to bring men and children home?

She squinted and looked her over.

Young, cute, and dressed in what appears to be a lot of money, yet there's no awkwardness between them as one would during a work conversation, suggesting they're not important figures.

In summary...

Where did this rich woman come from, trying to get close to Brother Qin Ye? Doesn't she even know her place?

"My residence is simple, I hope you won't mind. Let me go upstairs to change into something more suitable for entertaining guests."

Qin Ye hurried upstairs: "Tatiana, could you please help greet the guests?"

"Yes."

"I have a lot of things to do, please hurry up. If we waste too much time, I won't be able to finish my work."

There wasn't a trace of a smile on Ke Qing's face.

I thought the other party would explain something on the way, but ever since I got the Eye of God, they have been lost in thought the whole way.

Not saying a word!

She now understood that Qin Ye hadn't revealed his identity at first because he was afraid of being embarrassed when his disguise was exposed.

Later, I would intentionally or unintentionally steer the conversation toward "The Fool" during casual chats, just to shift the awkwardness onto her.

This person is treacherous and cunning!

“Miss, please stop staring at Lord Fool. Let me take you to the living room to rest.”

Tatiana blocked Keqing's view and pointed her way.

"Oh, okay, thank you."

I feel like this girl is looking at me strangely.

Would you like tea or coffee?

"No need for that, plain water will do."

Oh? She's dressed like a rich woman, yet she's surprisingly easy to take care of.

Although she was not entirely comfortable with the situation, Tatiana still treated Keqing with the highest level of hospitality.

She sat opposite, carefully examining the girl in front of her.

I never expected that the Fool would bring a woman home. What's so special about her?

Height? Shorter than mine.

Figure? Not as good as mine.

Cute? I don't think I can compete, but I'm definitely more sophisticated. So what are you trying to convey by styling your hair like cat ears?

What exactly am I lacking?

Shift your gaze downwards.

The soft curves encased in black stockings made even a young girl fantasize about the slender legs hidden beneath.

Although the patterns are asymmetrical, they are just right; any more would make it look cluttered, and any less would make it look bland. It's clear that the design was done by a master.

We lost...

These thermal leggings are so much prettier than the ones worn by the ladies in the Zangjing Palace...

"Tatiana, why are you looking so dejected? Don't let Yuheng Star laugh at you."

Qin Ye changed into casual clothes and sat down next to her.

"Jade Jade Jade Balance Star?"

She jumped up from the sofa.

Is this little girl from Yuheng Star? I thought she was some young, wealthy woman trying to get close to Executive Officer Zhidong.

Several figures appeared in my mind.

The fool is young and promising, but he is exceptionally calm and meticulous in officialdom.

The clown, the mastermind behind the scenes, is knowledgeable, resourceful, and imposing without being angry.
