Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

"She was being sarcastic just now, but now she's suddenly so understanding." Li Qingping pondered Dandelion's last message. "It seems her sisterly love isn't just a lie."

However, Li Qingping had no time to care about this mysterious agent named Dandelion. He walked to the corner and used his power to shrink the earth into an inch, rushing towards Wanmin Hall.

The rain from Osel's Fang covered the entire Liyue, so he no longer needed to spread the yellow sand in advance to give the coordinates.

After several flashes and flying for a while, he successfully arrived at the Hall of All Peoples.

"Brother Qingping, why are you here!" Xiangling was wearing an apron and a chef's hat. She was surprised and happy to see Li Qingping.

"I have to come and see. If Grandma Ping knew that I neglected her closed disciple, I don't know how she would scold me." Li Qingping spread his hands and pretended to be helpless.

This is indeed the case. It is reasonable for him to come and see Xiangling, even though they are very familiar with each other.

"Don't bully my junior sister!" In Wanmin Hall, Yaoyao rushed out with a pout and stood in front of Xiangling, "Even Brother Qingping is not allowed!"

"Are you watching me bully Xiangling?" Li Qingping picked up Yaoyao and rubbed her soft face. "Why are you here too? Is it dinner time and you're planning to come to my place to eat and drink?"

"No, Sister Yan Fei will pay for it!"

When talking about food, Yaoyao swallowed subconsciously.

She knows her junior sister’s cooking skills very well, it’s delicious!

"Sister Yan Fei is here too. Shouldn't she be a very busy person?" Li Qingping looked towards the inner room and saw Yan Fei sitting at the table.

Yan Fei wore a goose yellow short knitted cardigan with a doll collar shirt underneath, a light peach pink A-line high-waisted knee-length skirt, and cream-colored Mary Jane shoes and candy-colored socks on her feet.

There are two furry ball pendants sewn on the hem of the knitted cardigan. When Yan Fei moves her body, they will sway from side to side, which is very eye-catching.

Yan Fei's outfit today was very girlish. If Li Qingping didn't know that she was an ace lawyer with a 500-year practice, he would definitely have thought she was a high school student who was resting in the store after being tired from shopping.

"You seem to have some prejudice against me. I think it's necessary to complain to Grandma Ping." Yan Fei turned sideways, supported her chin with one hand, and shook the lit mobile phone screen at Li Qingping.

On it was Grandma Ping's contact information, and all it needed was a dial button to call her.

"Sister Yan Fei, it was a misunderstanding! I originally thought the person sitting in the room looked a bit like you, but I thought this person wasn't as pretty as you, so that's why I didn't recognize you!"

Yan Fei had met all sorts of people, from the wealthy to high-ranking officials of Yujingtai. These could be considered successful individuals, but even when they appeared modest, they were always tinged with arrogance, thinking she had simply lived long enough to find a career in law.

Li Qingping has both, but he is most in awe of her.

This guy really seems to treat her as his sister.

"You praise me so much, aren't you afraid that Shen He will be jealous?" Yan Fei glared at him angrily, her expression relaxed, and the plan of bringing out Grandma Ping to scare him was immediately rejected in her mind.

This guy is really good, but he is a little bit fickle.

"It doesn't matter. Shen He is the most beautiful among me. Sister Yan Fei, even though you are as beautiful as a fairy, you still have to avoid her."

Yan Fei always felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't find any fault.

You can't compare yourself with other people's girlfriends, right?

"I'm taking the day off today. How about you? Have you sorted out your business in the city?"

Li Qingping heard Yan Fei's implication and put Yaoyao down, asking her to help Xiangling. He then sat down beside her. "The Vortex Church's stronghold in Liyue has been wiped out. The Pope and the last Archbishop have been apprehended. I just came from there."

"Dog bites don't usually happen. There should be some casualties in this fight against the Uzumaki Church, right?" Yan Fei was not only well-informed but also quick-witted. She immediately saw that something was amiss. "It's going to take quite a few people to keep an eye on them. I don't think the police station has enough manpower."

But she still underestimated Li Qingping's strength.

"Sister Lan had similar concerns, so she called me over. Fortunately, I succeeded and single-handedly took care of all 1462 members of the Whirlpool Church, including the Pope and the Archbishop."

"Grandma Ping and the others have all gone to the Layered Abyss. Although I'm on vacation, I can still help you... What did you say?" Yan Fei was stunned.

"There are no casualties, but it takes a lot of manpower to guard the Vortex Church." Li Qingping explained again.

"You rushed in and took care of it by yourself?" Yan Fei leaned forward and moved closer to Li Qingping as if she wanted to see clearly what kind of monster the person in front of her was. Little did she know that her private parts were suddenly exposed, revealing her white tube top.

"Ahem, Sister Yan Fei, calm down. These are all trivial matters, nothing to be surprised about." Li Qingping immediately withdrew his gaze and said seriously.

"...No wonder Grandma Ping and Aunt Xianyun unanimously agreed that you should stay in the city." Yan Fei finally realized her mistake and pulled up her collar.

"Liyue must be in turmoil during this period. Sister Yanfei, please take good care of these two little girls."

"At first I thought Aunt Xianyun asked me to come over to accompany Shen He, but I didn't know she was just tricking me into coming here to take care of the children." Yan Fei sighed, "Luckily Yaoyao and Xiangling are very well behaved. I'll be watching over them at Wanmin Hall during the day. What about you? Are you going to patrol the city?"

"No need. As long as there is any unusual movement in the city, I will be the first to know."

The rain curtain of Osel's Fang has already fallen, and Li Qingping is not bragging.

"You are really capable, unlike me who can only look after children."

"Keep an eye on the two little ones, so I can focus on showing off my skills. Sister Yan Fei, even if your contribution can't be called the greatest, it must be crucial!"

"Hmph, go ahead and try to coax me. I'm not a little girl like Shen He who gets dizzy after hearing a few nice words!"

Yan Fei said this, but in fact she was in a very good mood, and her prejudice against Li Qingping disappeared.

There is only one fiancé like this in Liyue in thousands of years. To be objective and fair, Shen He is marrying above his station.

At this time, Guoba brought a plate of crispy pork to the two of them.

The Stove Demon God personally brought the plate. Li Qingping was flattered and quickly took it with both hands: "Thank you."

Guoba smiled naively and walked towards the kitchen with steady steps.

"You seem to respect Guoba very much. Is he of extraordinary status?" Yan Fei asked.

"I treat Sister Yan Fei the same way." Li Qingping said with a smile.

"Tsk, forget it if you don't want to talk about it." Yan Fei took out her chopsticks, picked up the freshly baked crispy pork and put it into her mouth, "Delicious!!"

"Everyone says that Wanmin Hall is the best in Liyue, and now it seems to be true!" A young man's voice came from outside the house.

After hearing this, Li Qingping immediately frowned.

"Tartaria, weren't you deported?"

The person who came was none other than the last executive officer, Young Master, who had fought with Li Qingping on the street.

"Alas, the one you expelled from Liyue was Young Master, what does that have to do with me, Tartaglia!" Tartaglia was not accompanied by any Fatui, and he did not shy away from them. He sat down next to Li Qingping across the smoke.

"Isn't this Lawyer Yan Fei? We meet again." Tartaglia greeted Yan Fei.

"Do you know each other?" Li Qingping said.

"At first, the young master was planning to ask Yan Fei to defend him, but the lawyer refused." Tartaglia still acted as if he was not the young master.

"Why should I take on a lawsuit that I'm bound to lose?" Yan Fei said lightly. After the third person joined, she immediately lost the good expression she had when she was alone with Li Qingping.

"You, Zhidong, are taking this opportunity to come to Liyue and cause trouble?" Li Qingping spoke, while grasping the Fang of Osel on his wrist.

"Wait! Don't be impatient, let me explain!" Tartaglia immediately raised his hands.

"Speak, I'm listening."

"Liyue is so big, we at Zhidong have to send someone we trust, right? That Young Master may have caused some trouble on the streets, but he's definitely more reliable than some stragglers in jail!" Tartaglia spread his hands. "The other officers have their own missions, and ultimately, they'll have no choice but to send me back to Liyue. I can't use Young Master's name anymore, but at least that saves face. We've discussed this with both sides. If you don't believe me, you can call and ask."

"Now you admit that you are a young master?" Li Qingping asked suddenly.

"...Don't worry about these details!" Tartaglia smiled awkwardly.

Li Qingping did not continue to insist on it. He turned around and called Gan Yu, and got a reply that it was true.

"In that case, Lord Tartaglia, you'd better not cause any trouble during this period, otherwise I won't have the time to figure out whether you have ulterior motives." Li Qingping warned him and lowered his guard against him.

"Phew! I'm so scared! How on earth have you been practicing? It's only been a while since I last saw you, but you feel like a completely different person!"

Tartaglia let out a long sigh and looked at Li Qingping as if he were a monster.

"Early to bed and early to rise is good for health." Li Qingping said casually, "I suggest you try it too."

"Did I go to bed too late?"

Seeing that Tartaglia was seriously considering this matter, Yan Fei couldn't help but sigh and said, "I think having more girlfriends might be the secret to his becoming stronger."

"Really?" Tartaglia asked again.

Yan Fei was completely speechless to Tartaglia. She pouted and looked at Li Qingping: "For one thing, there's no room for maneuver in his case. For another, I don't like being a defense lawyer for fools."

"Sister Yan Fei is right!" Li Qingping agreed.

Although there was an uninvited guest like Tartaglia, Xiangling still waved her hand and let him stay for lunch.

Tartaglia was amazed after taking the first bite, and exclaimed that Chef Xiangling's cooking skills were unmatched. He was annoyed that he was deceived by his subordinates, and that Xinyuexuan and Liuliting were not even a bit inferior to Wanmintang.

Xiangling smiled happily and said that if she liked it, she could come and support her more often in the future.

Tartaglia ate like a starving ghost, and drank four large bowls of rice in one breath. He was not satisfied yet and wanted to have more rice, but was interrupted by the Fatui who came in to deliver a message. He had no choice but to finish the fifth bowl reluctantly, and shamelessly packed up a portion of stir-fried pork slices before getting up to say goodbye to everyone and leaving.

"I'm increasingly feeling that it was right not to accept his commission!" Yan Fei had a lot of opinions about Tartaglia.

Li Qingping saw it clearly from the side. It was nothing more than that Tadalia finished eating it all by himself. Crab roe and ham baked seasonal vegetables, this dish is probably what Yan Fei likes too.

"This is the first time a wild boar has eaten fine bran. Sister Yanfei, please bear with me. Tartaglia is a relatively pure person, much better than some of the executives who scheme behind the scenes. I think the higher-ups took this into consideration when allowing him to return."

"You're speaking for him!" Yan Fei puffed up her cheeks and stared at Li Qingping fiercely, like a bulging pufferfish.

"I'll go help Master Mao and make another one for Sister Yan Fei!"

Li Qingping ate slower than Butadaliya and was already full.

He told Yaoyao to eat more and turned to go downstairs to the kitchen.

When he came out, he not only brought Yan Fei's favorite crab roe and ham baked vegetables, but also had a few packed lunch boxes in his hands.

"Who are you going to deliver the meal to?" Yan Fei's brows relaxed when she saw Crab Roe, Ham and Baked Vegetables, but she didn't forget to ask.

"Shen He is taking over for Uncle Hou Zhang in the General Affairs Department, so of course I'm sending it to her."

Yan Fei was very satisfied with Li Qingping's answer and waved him off.

Li Qingping had reason to believe that if he said any name other than Shen He, he would not be able to leave Wanmin Hall today, and Yan Fei would definitely have ten thousand reasons to stop him.

He took a taxi to the General Affairs Department and had another meal with Shen He.

After leaving the General Affairs Department, Li Qingping received another message from Ye Lan, asking him to go to the detention center to deal with the demon fragments in the bodies of the Vortex Church members.

Ye Lan explained that there was no time to perform surgery to remove them one by one, so she asked Li Qingping to use violent measures.

Li Qingping said it was no problem, and immediately rushed to the detention center to forcibly remove the demon fragments from their bodies and gave them all to Osel's Fang to swallow.

He also stopped by the Liyue Police Station and took away the demon fragments that were taken out of the body of the survivor of the Zhudian Boat last time.

Osel's Fang swallowed thousands of demon fragments in one breath, and its strength increased by leaps and bounds, but it was still a long way from the mountain-cutting blow promised by Lei Dianzhen.

The bottom line is that the seal set by Osel has not yet been completely lifted.

Osel is such a bad guy!

"Then it's time to go to the consciousness space tonight and meet that weird thing hiding in the storm!"

How could the power of his things be restricted by a seal set by others!

"Really? Do you think I'm a match for Osel now?"

Lei Dianzhen appeared in a moon-white silk pajamas, with sleepy eyes, like a college student who had just stayed up all night and was woken up by his parents after only a few hours of sleep.

"Then... who do you think is stronger, Dicaprian or Osel?" Lei Dianzhen patted his cheek and became much more sober.

"Diakarapian, as an old god who once ruled the Mondstadt region, is far superior to Osel in both battle record and fame."

"Absolutely right. Diakarapian is one of the most capable fighters among the demon gods. Even I have to take shelter from him when he fully unleashes his power."

Li Qingping felt that there was some self-boasting in Lei Dianzhen's words, and it was very high.

"Really?" Li Qingping looked skeptical.

"Ahem, okay! To be honest, I can't beat him. But..."

"But when it comes to fights, it's usually your sister who takes the lead. Your sister is super powerful. The two of you together would be invincible."

Seeing that Li Qingping had already learned to answer quickly, Lei Dian really knew that her tricks had been figured out, and he would have to come up with something else to brag about in the future.

"That's right! Even at sea, Osel wouldn't be a match for Decarabion, but he's the King of the Tower. Just because you inherited his power doesn't mean you're Decarabion."

"I understand, that's why I came to ask you." Li Qingping was not dazzled by his newfound power and demon body.

Lei Dianzhen was very pleased with this: "The battle between demon gods is a competition of the elemental power they can mobilize and the power they wield. If the battle took place at sea, you, having just acquired the body of a demon god, would definitely not be able to match Osel in terms of elemental power, but you have an absolute advantage in terms of power. In addition, Osel is injured and has lost his companion weapon. If a real fight came, you would definitely win."

This was similar to Li Qingping's estimate, but he actually wanted to know more than just that.

"Is there any way to kill Osel?" Li Qingping had nothing to hide from Lei Dian, so he told him what he was thinking.
