Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Master Hu, instead of staying at the Rebirth Hall, you're coming to Daoqi with us. Aren't you worried about the hall's business?"

Hu Tao wasn't worried about the mortuary at all. "With the old man there, I don't need to worry about it."

Sitting high up, Wan Ye teased, "If Jiang Bai knew that you were going to Inazuma, he would be very happy."

Walnut, with one hand on her hip, leaned against the ship's railing. "What can I do? As the head of the group, I can't help but worry about my employees!"

Chapter 480 You're too fat!

After the fireworks were finished, Paimon reminded them that Jiang Bai had arrived at some unknown time.

Looking at Jiang Bai, who was comfortably lying on the recliner, she walked over with her hands on her hips and looked down at him from above, blocking his view of the sky.

"So relaxed?"

Jiang Bai pushed him aside, "Move aside, you're blocking my view of the fireworks."

Kong Wuyu turned aside and asked, "When did you arrive? How's the situation on Haiqi Island?"

Jiang Bai rested his head on his hands, shifting his gaze from the fading fireworks in the sky to the empty air.

"I came over right after dinner, and I saw you not long after. What's Haiqi Island like? It's just so-so. What, do you want to go and see it?"

Kong shook his head. "It's too far. Once we've resolved things here, we'll definitely go take a look."

While it's possible to teleport using leyline anchors, the prerequisite for teleportation is to first find and make contact with the anchor point before you can travel back and forth between the two anchor points.

It would take at least half a month, or even longer, to get to Haizhi Island, so there's no time for him to travel right now.

Once we've sorted things out here, we'll have plenty of time to explore Inazuma at our leisure.

As the last firework disappeared into the sky, Xiaogong noticed them and walked over.

"Traveler, who is this?"

“This is my friend, Jiang Bai. We came from Liyue together.”

"Hello." Jiang Bai stood up and greeted him, but didn't hand out flyers as soon as they met.

Inazuma's business is okay with one or two clients occasionally, but he can't handle more than that.

Moreover, the beautiful girl in front of me didn't look like the kind of person who would suddenly die.

Kong turned to introduce Xiaogong to Jiang Bai, "This is Xiaogong, a new friend I just met."

Xiaogong greeted him with a smile, her eyes crinkling.

"Hello! I've heard about you from the Traveler!"

Did he say something bad about me?

Upon hearing this, Kong's eyes immediately turned into dead fish eyes. Is he really that kind of person?

This guy probably said bad things about him to someone and is now projecting his own experience onto others, which is why he asked that question!

"How could that be? He said you're good at making kids happy and that you're very popular with them."

Jiang Bai put his arm around Kong's shoulder. "Hahaha, that's more like it!"

Kong's lips twitched; he didn't know what to say.

"I just saw lots of food on the street. Let's go, I'll treat you to something to eat!"

"Eat, yay!" Paimon's eyes lit up with excitement at the mention of food.

This foodie's mind is filled with all sorts of food.

Kong was somewhat wary of Jiang Bai's invitation, asking, "Why are you suddenly being so generous?"

Kong glanced at Xiaogong, who was tilting his head and watching them, and suspected that he suddenly wanted to treat them because there were pretty girls around.

"Watch out, or I'll tell Hu Tao!"

Jiang Bai was speechless. "...When have I ever been stingy?"

After thinking it over carefully, Kong said, "Okay, that makes sense."

Jiang Bai narrowed his eyes, looking at him dangerously, "And what else do you want to tell the hall master?"

Kong's eyes darted around, "Tell Hu Tao you're going to treat us to a big meal, hahahahaha..."

Jiang Bai rolled his eyes. "Do you think everyone is like you? Don't slander my integrity. Also, it's my treat, you pay. It's a pleasant decision."

"They have such a good relationship," Yoomiya remarked, unaware of what they were talking about.

"Let's go, let's go eat something delicious!"

Paimon didn't care who paid; he took the lead and flew straight into the city.

The streets were unusually bustling today, with the aroma of various foods filling the air, making Jiang Bai, who had already eaten, feel hungry again.

"what is this?"

Jiang Bai saw something that looked very similar to the simple milk tea he made with milk, sweet flowers, and tea leaves.

The only difference is that the milk tea is different from what he makes; it has some other toppings added.

"This is my newly developed assorted milk tea. It's very delicious. Would you like to try some?" The milk tea merchant served Jiang Bai a small sample cup to taste.

Jiang Bai's eyes lit up after taking a sip; it tasted better than what he made!

His milk tea was just something he randomly made without any specific recipe; he added ingredients haphazardly. But that's what made it special. It had the smooth, rich flavor of milk, the refreshing taste of tea, and the various toppings, making each sip incredibly flavorful.

"Give me four drinks!"

Jiang Bai ordered a drink for each person, then looked at Kong and said, "Pay up, our great hero!"

She glared at him, but still took out the money.

Along the way, Jiang Bai ate and drank, discovering many novel and unique delicacies, and planned to bring back a few portions for Hu Tao and the old man to try.

After walking down the street, Paimon's belly was so round it looked like a ball, and he could hardly fly anymore.

She rubbed her tummy, then rested her head on her empty stomach, letting out a burp. "I can't eat anymore, I really can't eat anymore..."

My head felt so heavy that I almost couldn't lift it.

"You're too heavy!"

Jiang Bai looked at Paimon for a while, then picked her up. "Huh, why do I feel like she's gotten a little bigger? She's a whole size bigger than when I first saw her in Mondstadt."

"Eating like this every day, how can you not get bigger...?" Kong rubbed his neck, feeling that the previous movement had put his neck under tremendous strain.

Paimon scratched his head sheepishly, "I didn't eat that much..."

Jiang Bai didn't mind; growing up is a normal thing.

Kong gave Jiang Bai a hotel address, saying, "We'll be staying here for the next few days. If you need anything, just come find us here."

"it is good."

Jiang Bai didn't plan to stay in a hotel. He had illegally crossed the border from an outlying island to Narukami Island without official documentation. While he could wander around without any problems, staying in a hotel was out of the question, as Narukami Island was very strict about it.

After saying goodbye to the group, Jiang Bai went directly to the wilderness, found a relatively secluded place, used rock element to condense a stone coffin, laid out bedding, and lay down inside.

The next day, early in the morning.

Jiang Bai was half asleep when he sensed someone outside the coffin.

"Why is there a coffin here? It wasn't here yesterday..." The speaker's voice was full of doubt, but his voice was strong.

"Boss, I don't know either. Do you think there might be a dead person inside? Let's stay away..." The person who said this had a trembling voice, clearly afraid.

The first person to speak dismissed it, saying, "Why not bury the dead? Leaving them here is just frightening!"

"Boss, let's just leave it alone. If we get into trouble, Sister Ren will scold us again..."

"It's just a coffin, what trouble could it cause? If there really is a dead person inside, burying him would be doing a good deed. What if there's nothing inside..."

As he spoke, the coffin lid was pushed open with tremendous force, and Jiang Bai sat up abruptly from inside.

"Ahh! Ghost!"

The two young men wearing straw hats were so frightened by this sudden turn of events that they jumped onto the man they called their leader.

Chapter 481 Araki Ichito? Seems a bit dim-witted.

Araki Ichito was startled by his two underlings' loud shout, "Ghost? What ghost?! Your boss is the ghost!"

Jiang Bai: "..."

He chose such a remote place because he was afraid of scaring people, but how come there are people here?

They're so bold, they should just flip his coffin lid off.

Araki Ichito pulled his two underlings off him and glared angrily at Jiang Bai, who was sitting in the coffin and looked like a living person.

"What are you doing lying in a coffin when you're a perfectly healthy person?!"

"...I'm sleeping."

"Sleep? Are you out of your mind?! Sleeping in a coffin? That's terrifying, you know?!"

"I never expected there would be anyone in such a remote place..."

Jiang Bai looked at the young man in front of him with two horns on his head, white hair, strange tattoos and eyeliner, and was speechless.

Why does this person seem a bit dim-witted?

And this outfit shouldn't be human, right? What did he just say? A ghost?

Behind Araki Ichito, the two who were initially frightened recovered after discovering that there was indeed a living person in the coffin.

Yuan Tai glanced at Jiang Bai, then at the blanket in the coffin, and asked, "Why are you sleeping in a coffin?"

"There's nowhere to sleep, so I'll have to sleep in a coffin."

Upon hearing Jiang Bai's words, the other person was immediately filled with sympathy, "Boss, he's so pitiful!"

“Yes, he doesn’t even have a place to sleep, he can only sleep in a coffin. He’s so pitiful!” Yuan Tai agreed, he also felt sorry for Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai's expression was indescribable.

It turns out that it wasn't the guy called "boss" who wasn't very smart, but rather that none of the other guys were very smart.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Ahem!" When Jiang Bai asked about their identities, Arataki Ichito coughed twice in a pretentious manner, then pulled out a comb from somewhere and tidied his hair in a flamboyant way.

"My name is Araki Ichito! This is Mamoru and Genta from our Araki Faction. You look so pitiful, how about joining our Araki Faction!"

Jiang Bai was at a loss for words.

He didn't say anything, so how did these people assume he was pitiful?

So what if you're sleeping in a coffin? Is sleeping in a coffin really that pitiful?

"What is the Huanglong Sect?" Jiang Bai asked sincerely, as he had never heard of this name before.

Araki Ichito's thick eyebrows shot up. "You don't even know about our Araki Faction!"

Jiang Bai shook his head. "Never heard of it."

"We, the Araki-ha, are the largest gang in Hanamiita!"

"Gangs?" Jiang Bai became interested. Under the oppressive rule of Tianling, there were actually gangs in Daozu City?

What do you usually do?

The three were stumped by the question. They exchanged glances, and Araki Ichito scratched his head, thinking seriously for a moment, "Insect fighting, card games, roasted violets, sumo wrestling, hide-and-seek..."

A question mark appeared above Jiang Bai's head.

The largest gang in Hanamisaka, and their daily affairs are actually these?

Really...

That's so much fun!

Jiang Bai stood up from the coffin and asked with great interest:

"So this is the daily routine of the Ara-ryū Sect! Do I need to pay any membership fee to join? Does the Ara-ryū Sect have any rules and regulations? Besides you few, how many other people are in the Ara-ryū Sect?"

“Uh…” Araki Ichito was stumped by the question.
