Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"I lost..." Jiang Bai removed the rag, wiped his face, and raised his hands in surrender.

With that one swipe, the skin on his face, which had turned wheat-colored, immediately regained some of its original color. He looked at Guoba with a puzzled expression.

How did you recognize me?

Xiangling clearly didn't recognize him at all.

Guoba tilted its head.

That's how I recognized it.

After Xiangling translated, Jiang Bai understood that Guoba didn't recognize people based on their faces at all.

"Hmph! As punishment for deliberately scaring me, you two have to help me clean!" Xiangling threw a rag and a broom to Jiang Bai and Hu Tao respectively.

Hu Tao took the broom. "Alright, alright, but you have to provide meals for working, right?"

"Food is provided, you won't go hungry..."

Xiangling left the cleaning work to them and went to the kitchen to help her father prepare ingredients.

Guoba gave them a cheering emoji and then went along.

But when the food was served to them, Xiangling vaguely realized that something was wrong.

Why did they end up treating them to dinner when it was supposed to be a punishment to scare her?

Xiangling felt like she'd been tricked...

After sending those two guys away, Xiangling decided to make an extremely spicy dish for them to try next time, to avenge today's humiliation!

After a satisfying meal, the two leisurely returned to the Hall of Rebirth, where they happened to run into Zhongli, who was on his way to the Hall of Ten Thousand People for a meal.

Upon seeing their attire, Zhongli remained strangely silent for a moment.

"What is the hall master's attire like...?"

"How did you recognize me? Are you that easy to recognize?" Hu Tao touched her face. Her makeup was still on, and her beard was neatly glued on.

Zhongli, who also recognized people by their aura, could only say, "I know the Hall Master too well..."

He changed his tone and comforted her, "However, anyone who doesn't know you well will definitely be fooled by the hall master's disguise."

"Master is indeed worthy of being called Master; he truly has discerning eyes."

Jiang Bai flattered them and then explained the reason why they had dressed up like this.

"So that's how it is..."

Zhongli spoke in a tone like an old father looking at two naughty children, "It's good that the matter is settled. Hurry up and change your clothes; it's not appropriate to keep dressing like this..."

Jiang Bai and Hu Tao returned to their respective courtyards to remove their makeup and change clothes.

After tearing off the fake mustache, Hu Tao felt refreshed.

After quickly washing her face and changing her clothes, she went to Jiang Bai's courtyard, scooped the gudong out of the water, and then lay down on the recliner under the tree, covering her face with the gudong.

Gudu looked bewildered, turning its body around, looking here and there.

Walnut enjoyed the water slime cleaning service; the unwashed eyebrow marks and residual makeup on her face were unconsciously washed away by Gudu.

When Jiang Bai came out after changing his clothes, this was the scene he saw.

"This little thing can actually be used like this?"

Jiang Bai then lay down on the recliner next to him and placed Gudu on his face.

Poor Gudong, after washing clothes and watering flowers, has now been given the function of washing its face.

Gudu resignedly slumped into a pancake shape and looked up at the sky.

Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light. The air is filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers, and a gentle breeze makes one feel drowsy.

Gudu looked down at its owner, who was already asleep.

Looking at the owner next to me, he was already asleep.

The two lay on deck chairs under a big tree, the leaves rustling in the wind. There was no place more relaxing and comfortable than home.

Gudu jumped off Jiang Bai's face and went back to the pool to sleep.

The two owners were sleeping so soundly that it made it sleepy too.

......

......

Sora and Paimon lead busy lives every day. Although they have accumulated a large sum of money, these restless adventurers always seem to be active all over the world.

It was both for adventure and to find traces of his younger sister.

"Hey, aren't those Ningguang's secretaries?"

Paimon saw the three, who looked haggard, standing on the Jade Capital Terrace.

"What happened to you? Why do you look so tired?"

Upon seeing that it was the Traveler and Paimon, the three didn't hide their current problems. "Sigh, it's because Senior Gan Yu has been gone for many days..."

"Gan Yu has left?"

Kong and Paimon looked at each other with disapproval.

"Yes, ever since Ningguang asked her to deliver the letter to the Immortals regarding the future development plan for Liyue Harbor, Ganyu hasn't returned. All her work has piled up on us; even if the three of us work day and night, we still can't finish it..."

The three poured out their grievances, their faces showing signs of exhaustion from work, as if they were about to pass away at any moment.

Chapter 391 So I Like Him?

Kong, a kind-hearted traveler who often helped others, was asked to find Gan Yu and ask her to come back.

Kong, a kind-hearted and helpful man, agreed to the request, but he was worried about whether they could hold on until he returned. Judging from their condition, he was afraid they would suddenly die on the job.

"It's okay, we can keep going as long as there's overtime pay..." Beneath the thick dark circles under the three girls' eyes lay a deep longing for money.

Seeing the three girls' eyes light up again when they talked about overtime pay, Kong Yi fell silent for a moment.

Okay, good luck to you guys.

Jiang Bai and Hu Tao had nothing to do these past two days, so they decided to go picnicking and camping in Jueyun.

It's called camping, but it's really just a trip to have fun.

Jiang Bai carried a bamboo basket on his back, which contained some mushrooms he had picked in the forest. He also held a small hoe in his hand, ready to pick any valuable medicinal herbs he found.

Hu Tao didn't have the same intention as him, wanting to dig up everything she saw. She was wearing a pink and white dress, not her usual Qiankun Tai Gua hat, her long hair was tied into two braids hanging over her shoulders with two bows at the ends, and she wore a sun-protective straw hat, looking very youthful.

She walked leisurely along the mountain path, a blade of grass dangling from her mouth.

Hu Tao glanced at the overflowing bamboo basket and said, "Hey, that's enough, the basket is already full."

Jiang Bai was carefully digging out a Qingxin plant, roots and all, when he saw this and shook his head.

"Not enough? How could it be enough?"

Who would complain about having too much money?

Jiang Bai carefully placed the Qingxin plant, when suddenly her peripheral vision caught sight of a cluster of bright wildflowers, and her eyes lit up.

He excitedly picked the cluster of unnamed pink and purple wildflowers and presented them to Hu Tao.

He reached out his hand, holding the wildflowers he had picked by the roadside, his eyes sparkling.

"Master, here you go."

Looking at the flower, Hu Tao smiled and said, "Since you are so sincere in giving it to me, then I will accept it."

She took the wildflowers, skipped and hopped to the front, and buried her face in the flowers.

Wildflowers have little fragrance, but they are soft to the touch and their appearance is pleasing to the eye.

The bright sunshine shone on the country road, and watching Hu Tao's light and graceful figure, Jiang Bai felt his body and mind lighten up as well.

"You've arrived." Shen He appeared by a lake. When he saw them, his usually cold eyes softened a little.

These were some of her few friends.

Before they arrived, the two of them sent a message to Shen He, inviting her to dinner together.

Although Chef Xiangling is not here, Chef Hutao's dishes are still edible; it just depends on her mood whether anything goes wrong.

Hu Tao skipped over to her, holding the flowers. "Long time no see! How have you been?"

"Practicing asceticism in the mountains, day after day."

"We've come to visit you, will we be bothering you?" Jiang Bai also came over.

Shen He shook his head. "Of course not. Occasional balance between work and rest is also helpful for cultivation."

She had very few friends. When her master learned that they were coming to visit her, he was very welcoming and even instructed her to bring some food back for them when they left.

"That's good. We can't find that guy who's always practicing martial arts." Jiang Bai said meaningfully.

He still harbors resentment towards Hu Tao for the fact that she and Chongyun were betrothed as children.

Even though he guessed that Hu Tao might be teasing him, he still couldn't shake the feeling of being bothered.

"Diligent practice is a good thing."

Jiang Bai made a joke, but seeing Shen He answer him so seriously, he didn't know how to reply.

He snapped his fingers, and the table and chairs appeared on the spot.

Set up a comfortable lounge chair, open a parasol, feel the gentle breeze from the lake, and enjoy the fragrance of plants and trees. This is the kind of pleasant way to relax.

Walnut took out a vase, inserted the clump of wildflowers into it, placed it in the center of the table, and then took out the fruits, food, and snacks she had brought and arranged them out.

Instantly, the table was filled with all kinds of food.

Hu Tao then took out a large watermelon, cut it into several pieces, and handed the best-cut piece to Shen He.

"what is this?"

Shen He, who rarely goes down the mountain, was seeing this kind of fruit for the first time. He tilted his head as he looked at the watermelon in his hand.

"The watermelon is very sweet."

Shen He nodded, taking bites of the watermelon, eating the red flesh and seeds together. Just as she was about to gnaw off the rind, Hu Tao quickly stopped her.

"You can't eat the rind! The seeds affect the taste, so it's best to spit them out..."

Shen He was a little confused. Did a piece of fruit really need to be eaten in such a complicated way?

She eats the leaves and flowers of the Qingxin herb together.

"Hahahaha, Shen He, you still need to go down the mountain more often..." Jiang Bai laughed without any restraint.

Shen He didn't feel embarrassed or annoyed at all. He picked up another piece and ate it again, following Hu Tao's instructions. After spitting out the seeds, the taste was indeed much better.

"good to eat."

Shen He gave it extremely high praise.

"There's still half left. Take it back and let Immortal Lord Liuyun have a taste."

"Ah."

Jiang Bai ate a piece of watermelon, washed the mushrooms he had picked along the way by the lake, cut them into small pieces, and roasted them on the stove.

Fresh matsutake mushrooms are delicious even without any seasoning.

Shen He imitated his movements, turning the mushrooms on the grill while chatting with them.

"I've been seeing a blond boy in the mountains a lot lately, accompanied by a small white creature that can fly. Do you know who he is?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Kong and Paimon."

Jiang Bai gave the answer easily.

The blond boy and the white flying object are so iconic.

"Is his name Kong?" Shen He murmured softly.

Walnut slowly munched on a watermelon. "You seem quite interested in him. That traveler is certainly no ordinary person."

Shen He thought for a moment and said, "I don't know why, but seeing him always gives me a very special feeling."
