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

"..."

The figure in the water anxiously wrapped its body in a bath towel, gritting its teeth as it made a sound.

"Peeping tom... I'll remember this grudge!"

Who would bathe in water with floating ice at the foot of a snow-capped mountain? This isn't a natural hot spring.

You're insane!

(I'll do the nucleic acid test later, Chapter 3 will follow)

Chapter 178 This grudge! I've remembered it.

"Ice will sever all deep-seated hatred!"

The greatsword danced gracefully in the hands of the woman with short blue hair; the trajectory of her swordplay resembled a blooming flower, beautiful and agile.

Qin Ye thought so too.

if...

He easily dodged the attacks from the blade, but the opponent's attacks showed no sign of stopping.

It would have been even more spectacular if the sword hadn't been aimed at him.

Most importantly... she didn't even put her clothes on properly, just wrapped herself in a towel, leaving her fair skin exposed to the air. The towel gradually loosened as she moved around a lot.

I looked around to see if I knew anyone.

Very well, Colombia did not turn back halfway, and Tatiana did not suddenly open the door to report on her work.

I am a gentleman.

The greatsword slashed horizontally, heading straight for Qin Ye's neck. This time, he neither dodged nor evaded. The miniature jade shield wrapped around his index finger, gently raised it to his side, and made intimate contact with the blade, preventing it from advancing an inch.

"what?"

The woman looked somewhat surprised as the man effortlessly deflected her attack.

Although she didn't intend to kill him, seeing his agile dodge, she used almost 60-70% of her strength to teach him a lesson.

"You are... Yura Lawrence, right?"

Qin Ye narrowed his eyes, his tone indifferent, his gaze not even slightly drawn to the large expanse of skin the other person had exposed.

Yura quickly retreated, creating a large distance between herself and the towel covering her body, and carefully adjusted it.

She could sense that the other party wasn't showing much hostility; otherwise, they wouldn't have used such a skillful technique to block her attack.

"And who are you?"

"I am a friend of the leader of the Qin Guild. I came to Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain to find an alchemist at her request."

Yura frowned: "You're Qin's friend? I've never heard her mention you before?"

"We met because of some misunderstandings, but we didn't expect to find that we shared the same interests, and we got along well after a while."

Qin Ye remained calm and composed, and his ambiguous wording proved very helpful when Yura later sought confirmation.

Just let the other person fill in the blanks.

"Then why are you at the foot of such a remote snow-capped mountain?"

Although she enjoys taking cold showers in the snow-capped mountains, she still has a sense of shame, and this area is a good place she found after careful selection.

Not only is the water clear and the temperature just right, but the scenery is also beautiful and exceptionally quiet, making it a great place for a vacation.

"hehe."

Qin Ye chuckled softly but did not reply.

What does this mean?

"Just get dressed first, then we can talk about other things."

In Yura's eyes, the man seemed to be deliberately changing the subject, but as he said, her appearance was indeed inappropriate.

I intended to carefully observe his every move and warn him against doing anything that would upset either of us.

Unexpectedly, the man turned his back to her, seemingly admiring the beautiful scenery nearby, nodding occasionally, and completely ignoring her.

Hmph, from the moment we met until now, it's been a completely baffling farce, but thankfully his every move has been quite gentlemanly.

However, I will remember this grudge.

Without any hesitation, Yura changed into her clothes and gently smoothed her hair, which had been messed up while dressing.

"You can turn around now."

His perfectly timed reply was devoid of indifference; instead, it maintained the elegance befitting a nobleman.

Qin Ye also turned around and focused his gaze on the other person.

Yura's outfit is predominantly blue, white, and black, reflecting her capable yet willful personality.

The blue and white color scheme of the upper body has a light and cheerful feel, like the pure white waves on the blue coast.

The lower half is in a blue and black color scheme, which is calm and sophisticated, making Yura look noble and elegant. The combination of light on top and dark on the bottom cleverly changes the volume of the upper and lower body, highlighting her slender legs.

The black knee-high boots elongated her legs, enhancing Yura's aristocratic aura. The subtle cleavage added an alluring touch, making her both sexy and chic. Silver metallic accents added richer details and a sleek, sophisticated look.

If Teyvat were to hold a beauty pageant, please make sure I, the Fool, am invited as a guest.

Then they secretly voted for Columbia and Tatiana.

"Excuse me, sir, what is the reason you have come here?"

Yura continued to press for answers, even though the other party was clearly unwilling to respond; this was her duty as the leader of the guerrilla squad.

"..."

Qin Ye remained silent for a long time, to the point that Yura thought he was going to run away or launch a surprise attack, when the man finally spoke, his tone still confident and composed.

"It's simple, because I got lost."

"?"

This time, Yura fell into a long silence.

This seemingly illogical response...

However, given the other party's prolonged evasion and silence, and the fact that they initially adopted a superior demeanor but still try to maintain it, it's understandable.

Okay, she admits she did believe it.

"Do you think I would believe such a ridiculous excuse?"

Even so, she still wanted to test the waters briefly, giving herself a way out.

Seeing the other party's indifferent tone, Qin Ye chuckled inwardly, because any pretense could be covered up with many more stories, and he didn't have time to explain them.

On the surface, he shook his head helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. It depends on how you see it. At least from my perspective, it's a complete accident, a total misunderstanding. But if it offends you, I apologize."

Hearing the other party's sincere reply, Yura felt a little embarrassed.

She crossed her arms and involuntarily turned her face to the side: "No need to apologize. I know it was a misunderstanding. I apologize for my rude behavior of attacking you."

Although she really wanted to say that catchphrase, she knew that she had just met the man in front of her and even had some unpleasantness. Continuing to talk about it would only deepen the misunderstanding, so it was better to end the topic here.

"You are truly an understanding woman. You didn't kill me during your attack. I need to find the adventurer's camp now, so I'll take my leave."

Qin Ye nodded in acknowledgment and was about to turn and leave.

"and many more!"

Yura suddenly called out to her.

"To express my apologies, I will lead the way for you. I wonder..."

"That's great, otherwise we might have gone to that bathhouse again and caused even more misunderstandings."

"?"

I suspect there's something hidden in your words.

Yura gritted her teeth and squeezed out two polite words: "You're right, I will guide you properly."

"Thank you so much!"

Qin Ye's sense of joy was perfectly captured, as if he hadn't noticed at all that his words had offended Yura.

"..."

Yura had a bitter pill to swallow.

I'll remember this grudge!

Chapter 179 Skilled Driving

"Wow, this handsome young man from Zhidonglai, your skills are excellent! I'm very satisfied!"

Beside the Spring Fragrance Kiln, D'Artagnan looked calmly at the shop assistant in front of him, but his heart was already in turmoil.

"Look~ next it should be like this..."

The woman's voice grew softer and softer, carrying a seductive quality that made one feel as if they were floating on clouds.

"Yes~ Gently, tenderly hold the pestle and mortar."

The young master did as instructed without thinking.

"That's right~ Make sure your palms are pressed firmly against the surface~ Only in this way will it not slip off easily and will the juice inside not be irritated unevenly."

I never imagined that Liyue was so full of hidden talents; even making a balm requires so much attention to detail.

D'Artagnan carefully followed the steps to make it, and couldn't help but admire the shop assistant in front of her, because the ingredients that originally had only a faint fragrance now presented three completely different aromas.

As expected of a partner, he must have sent me to Liyue so that I could learn more skills here to enhance my combat abilities.

Just like chopsticks back then...

Sorry, buddy! I still haven't learned how! But I can now forcefully grip the chopsticks and pick up food, which is progress.

"Yes~ then stir at your most comfortable rhythm until the juice of the rainbow flower..."
