He had already gone blind as soon as he arrived in Genshin Impact.

——Inazuma Castle——Day 1

While some people were busy, Wu Di and his group seemed quite relaxed and at ease.

Moreover, the group's good looks attracted the attention of passersby, but they dared not get too close.

Because among them was the chief priest of Narukami Shrine, Yae no Miko, and the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, Kamisato Ayaka.

They're the kind of people you can't mess with, so it's better to just admire them from afar.

Today is the first day. Feeling bored, Wu Di suggested that everyone go to Inazuma City to enjoy the local cuisine.

Want to experience the exotic atmosphere?

The two girls present, who had "ulterior motives" towards Wu Diyi, exchanged glances, both believing this was a great opportunity.

But then they thought about it again. This was a trip for everyone, so it wasn't really suitable for competition. So, after exchanging glances, the two of them signed a pact not to sneak out of the group.

Then, led by the locals Yae no Miko and Kamisato Ayaka, they began to explore the shopping streets of Inazuma Castle.

Yae no Miko recommended a restaurant called Uyu-tei, saying she approved of the food there.

Then a group of people went inside. Although the lockdown was over, the economic recovery would still take some time.

Therefore, there are not many guests at Wuyou Pavilion now, or rather, very few. When the owner of Wuyou Pavilion saw so many people coming, he was overjoyed and quickly got up to entertain them.

His attitude became even more enthusiastic when he saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

As a regular customer here, Yae no Miko began to order dishes, including "Sansai Dango", "Sunset Taiyaki", "Shichizo-ni", and various types of sushi.

The most important dish is "fried tofu," which is a must-order for Yae no Kamiko every time she comes.

While ordering, he looked at everyone, indicating that they could order anything they wanted to eat and not to be shy.

Upon hearing this, everyone started ordering food that they were curious about, and Wu Di was no exception. He set his sights on a dish called "Beast Bone Ramen".

Then Wu Di secretly asked his two little friends, Jelly and Dulin, who were hiding on his shoulders, what they wanted to eat.

Du Lin woke up yesterday and excitedly told Wu Di that she had reached her former peak condition.

She's awesome now.

However, we should still eat and drink as usual.

The food was served quickly, and soon the dishes began to arrive one after another, and everyone began to enjoy their meal.

The sounds of enjoyment rose and fell, with people frequently exclaiming, "This is delicious!" or "That's delicious too!"

Moreover, the owner of Wuyouting was all smiles, as the day's sales were higher than the previous week.

This shows just how bad his business had been before.

Although the dishes they ordered looked like a lot, they were gone quickly when divided among the six people. However, no one chose to eat until they were full, because there were other delicious dishes waiting for them.

Next, Wu Di and his group strolled around the shopping streets of Inazuma City. During this time, a beverage called "Dumpling Milk" received unanimous approval from everyone, who all thought it tasted good and was delicious.

Because Wu Di and his group didn't come out until almost noon, they played for almost the entire afternoon, and it wasn't until dusk that they realized what time it was.

At this point, Yae no Miko, who was acting as the "guide," suggested that they go for a soak in a hot spring before returning to Narukami Taisha.

Although he had never heard of hot springs, Wu Di became interested in them, thinking they must be places for bathing.

Everyone was intrigued by Yae no Miko's suggestion, especially after learning that the hot spring was similar to a bathhouse.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Di and his group, out of curiosity, arrived at a hot spring resort called "Qiusha Qiantang".

Then, Yae no Kamiko waved his hand and announced that he would be taking over the entire venue for the night in order to prevent outsiders from disturbing him.

The shop owner, all smiles, led Wu Di and his group into the store. Today, they had a big customer—someone who had booked the entire store, meaning they were going to make a killing.

As they walked, Yae no Miko casually told everyone about the preparations to be made before soaking in the hot spring.

A while later, Wu Di parted ways with the others and went to the men's area alone.

What came into view was a fairly large pool, filled with a thick mist, but you could still see things. After making some simple preparations...

He couldn't wait to get into the pool. The moment he immersed himself in the water, an indescribable sense of relaxation washed over him. It was warm and comfortable, and he closed his eyes to enjoy it.

By the way, the Rubik's Cube, which hasn't been seen for a very long time, doesn't like humid environments, so Wu Di told him not to bring it inside. Therefore, it's currently waiting on Wu Di's clothes.

……

By this time, they had made their preparations and arrived at the pool, enjoying the relaxation brought by the hot spring.

But Barbara couldn't relax. Although she was covered by a towel, she wasn't completely naked.

But why are their breasts able to float in the water?!

She stared intently at Yae no Miko and Tenri before her, noticing their figures; they were at least a D cup.

I glanced down at my own and realized it was completely incomparable. I laughed so hard; I've only just started developing.

Oh no, a natural "class" conflict.

Hmph, ahhh.

The girl wailed inwardly, but quickly rallied, because she remembered her older sister and her sister's figure.

I immediately believed that my figure could definitely be like my sister's in the future.

But now...

The girl glanced again at the "class" opposite her and her own "class," then buried herself in the water. Now she could only endure it.

Just you wait! Don't underestimate a young girl's "poverty"!

Thinking this, Barbara subconsciously looked at Ayaka Kamisato and Columbia, and realized that although they were slightly inferior, they were still beyond her reach.

Damn it, I'm the worst off here.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

All I can say is that Columbia saw the girl's "tragic" expression, which made her smile. Then she thought about it and decided that she should start taking action.

Columbia then used the excuse that she was feeling a bit dizzy from soaking in the water and needed to rest, and naturally left the women's area.

Because the entire venue was booked out, there was no one in the store right now. Even the staff were secretly slacking off and didn't notice that Columbia had walked into the men's section.

Clearly, the action Columbia was referring to was self-evident; after all, the young woman would not let such a good opportunity slip by.

As for her previous statement that she wouldn't participate in the competition, yes, that's right, she wouldn't participate in the competition, but what does that have to do with her sneaking out?

Chapter 168 No, I can't catch up with you anymore.

(Just a heads up, chapter 167 somehow ended up below chapter 153, please check.)

After soaking in the hot springs, it was quite late, so everyone returned to Narukami Shrine, said goodnight to each other, and went to sleep.

However, Barbara was preoccupied with something, because Columbia's behavior while soaking in the hot springs seemed very suspicious to her. Although she returned quickly, what was with that radiant expression on her face?

She couldn't quite understand it, but she couldn't ask directly since she had no evidence. However, Barbara's sense of crisis was growing stronger.

She made up her mind to take action at the fireworks festival. There was no time to waste. Lying in bed, she began to plan her actions for the day, and eventually drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, Tenri, the "competitor," is sleeping exceptionally well after soaking in a hot spring and hasn't noticed anything amiss.

"..."

Liyue Harbor - Day 2

Ying and Paimeng finally woke up around noon. By then, they had completely shaken off the fatigue of the past ten days and were back to their peak condition.

They then began foraging for food in Liyue. Xiangling happily satisfied her hunger, and the two then strolled around the streets.

After all, they had nothing to do at the moment and could only wait for Ningguang to send news of Captain Beidou.

However, soon, the Chiyan Army found them and said that Lady Ningguang had something to tell them: Captain Beidou had returned and they could set off tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Ying's already somewhat bored heart immediately stirred with excitement; she could finally go see Wu Di.

Great!

Immediately afterwards, Ying and Paimon went to the address they were given to meet Captain Beidou and make friends.

Who knew that as soon as they arrived and saw Beidou, the other party spoke to Ying.

“Ningguang told me that you successfully defeated the eleventh Executor of the Fatui, and that was without the Eye of God.”

"Then you absolutely must participate in this 'Martial Arts Tournament'!"

"Ugh?"

"..."

——Inazuma—Narukami Taisha Shrine

All I can say is that ever since what happened yesterday, Wu Di blushed instinctively whenever he saw Columbia, and then looked away.

Because of what Columbia did yesterday, my mind, which knew nothing about that area, was severely shaken.

Now he blushes easily whenever he sees Columbia, and the events of that day keep replaying in his mind.

After all, in a sense, this was the first time he had such intimate contact with a woman, especially the kind that involved his whole heart.

Columbia's reaction to Wu Di's inability to face himself did not make her sad.

On the contrary, she believed that this would make her position in his heart completely unshakable.

She even had a mischievous thought. After checking that no one was paying attention to her, she secretly went up behind Wu Di, who dared not look her in the eye.

She quietly approached, then leaned over and whispered in his ear.

"You haven't told anyone else about what happened yesterday, have you?"

The sudden sound startled Wu Di, especially since it was a familiar voice, causing him to tremble involuntarily before speaking in a barely audible voice.

No, no.

"hehe."

Seeing Wu Di's reaction, which resembled that of a "little animal," filled Columbia with a sense of pleasure.

Especially when you compare the person you remember with the person they are now, the contrast is truly indescribable.

One is gentle to his family but dignified to the outside, like a leader; the other is gentle to both his family and the outside world, like a friendly boy next door.

All I can say is that she likes them all.
