Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Is that so? It seems this trip will be quite fruitful."

Beidou sighed inwardly, realizing that the woman had indeed been right.

......

"...You mean someone withstood General Wuxiang's blade?" Wan Ye's mouth dropped open in the private room of the tavern.

He had reached the age to drink alcohol, as had Goro, except that Goro was recovering from an injury and was drinking water instead.

"Yes, the Thunder General's all-out attack, the Unthinkable Blade!" Goro's expression was filled with longing. "It's a pity it happened on Narukami Island, and the person was masked, so no one knows who it was..."

He had only heard the story secondhand, and the information was bound to be distorted when it reached Haiqi Island, but the fact that he took that blow was undeniable.

"I heard that a giant rock spear appeared in the sky at that time, and the rock spear clashed with the sword light. The terrifying shockwave made it impossible for people to open their eyes..."

"Rock Spear?" Wan Ye's mind raced, and he guessed who it was.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Jiang Bai. I saw him practicing this move when I was on the ship."

"Jiang Bai!" Wu Lang's mouth dropped open.

He knew Jiang Bai was strong, but this was just too strong!

"Wow, that's amazing! I definitely need to spar with him sometime." Goro threw a punch, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Be careful, you're still injured," Wan Ye reminded him.

"It's nothing, it's just a minor injury, it'll heal soon." Goro didn't care about his injury at all; with his constitution, it would be fine in a few days.

Seeing his reaction, Wan Ye didn't press him further. "And then?"

He was curious about what would happen next.

"I don't know. Later, the general issued an arrest warrant, but I heard Jiang Bai disguised himself, and no one knows what he looks like. Although there's a warrant, it's practically useless. On the other hand, the arrest warrant for that blond traveler even reached our Haiqi Island..."

Goro pulled out a wanted poster and handed it to him. Looking at the blank space on it, Manyo suddenly remembered that he was still wanted by the police.

He chuckled, finding it somewhat amusing. "Now, we're all wanted criminals."

......

Jiang Bai landed in Wanglong Village with Hu Tao, where the entire Coral Palace could be seen in its entirety.

Wow! It feels so dreamy!

Hu Tao exclaimed in admiration, "This palace encased in seashells looks a bit like the storybooks I read when I was a child. It is said that the underwater dragon palace is like this."

"Master, did you know that Haiqi Island didn't exist at first? It was created by the demon god Orobas! Those seashells are scales he plucked from his back..."

Jiang Bai showed off his experiences, describing them vividly as if he had seen them with his own eyes.

"It's somewhat reminiscent of the Emperor using a rock spear to smash out Lonely Cloud Pavilion..."

Speaking of rock spears, Walnut, with her keen ears, seemed to hear someone talking about rock spears.

She leaned closer, blending into the chattering crowd. "Rock spear, what rock spear?"

"Someone used a giant rock spear to block General Thunder's unexpected strike..."

Jiang Bai saw that things were not going well and immediately tried to run away, but Hu Tao grabbed his belt with one hand and he couldn't escape at all.

Hu Taohe glanced at Jiang Bai with a friendly look, casually tugging at his belt as if holding back a husky that might run away at any moment, before turning his gaze back to the crowd.

"How did you receive the message? Why did you end up fighting General Thunder?"

"We don't know. We've only heard about it. We'll probably have to go to Narugami Island to find out what happened. We also don't know who that person was. It's truly amazing that they could withstand Musou's attack..."

Jiang Bai glared fiercely at these people. "I saved your Haiqi Island, and you actually betrayed me! How despicable!"

The group of people who were chatting and gossiping were bewildered by his glare.

Hu Tao smiled at Jiang Bai and pulled him to a secluded spot.

"You're quite impressive to have withstood Wuxiang's attack!"

"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me! That rock spear is the Emperor's ultimate technique, how could I possibly use it!"

"Oh? If it's not you, then who else could it be but the Emperor's Arrival, Inazuma?"

"I swear, it really wasn't me. If it was me, then... then I'll make sure I never get any Sweet Flower Chicken! I never get any Fish when I eat Mondstadt Grilled Fish! And I never get any Cabbage when I open treasure chests!"

I'm sorry, brother. I was killed by the general while trying to save you. I'll sacrifice you for me.

Walnut crossed her arms and had only one expression:

Keep acting.

"Speak. Confess honestly what you've done!"

Jiang Bai stammered for a long time before giving a brief description of the situation:

"I didn't do anything special, I just got slashed by General Thunder. In the blink of an eye, I pulled out my White Abyss Spear and fired, and then General Thunder chased after me and started hacking at me..."

walnut:"......"

When nothing happens, they wail and cry incessantly, "It's so miserable, so miserable!" But when something really happens, they don't utter a sound.

What could she say? Could she tell him not to save the person?

She puffed out her cheeks, grabbed his ear, and said fiercely, "It's a good thing you're alright, otherwise I would have come here to collect your corpse! You dare to go up against General Thunder and Lightning, you've got some nerve!"

Jiang Bai clasped his hands together and quickly admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't do it again..."

Hu Tao grabbed his ear and pulled it outwards, saying, "What do you mean you wouldn't dare! I think you're more than brave!"

"Aww~~"

Hearing Jiang Bai's screams, Gu Dong popped out of Jiang Bai's pocket, jumped to the ground, and simulated the situation for Hu Tao.

After absorbing the core of the Formless Water, it gained another ability, which Jiang Bai was unaware of.

The water elemental form was adorable, and Hu Tao recognized it immediately as referring to someone.

Just when Jiang Bai thought Gu Dong was going to save him, he saw the chibi version of Jiang Bai take a knife and fall to the ground, spitting out a little ghost and turning his eyes into two XXs.

The valiant Gudu appears, carrying its master, transforming into an invincible slime, and frantically fleeing for its life, while also eliminating all the enemies that come its way.

Jiang Bai looked at Gu Dong with heartache and indignation, "You Gu Dong, when did you become so wicked, actually slandering me!"

Not only did they distort the facts, but they also elevated their own status!

You can't even beat a few wandering samurai, yet you dare to call yourself an invincible slime!

hateful!

Gudu jumped onto Hu Tao's shoulder, huddled half its body behind Hu Tao's neck, trembling slightly, looking very scared.

Chapter 503 It's too tragic, too tragic.

Jiang Bai was stunned!

A slime, how could it be so cunning!

His fingers trembled: "You...you...you..."

Hu Tao patted Gu Dong, signaling it not to be afraid, "What do you mean, 'you'? Gu Dong is a witness! You almost died, and Gu Dong saved you. What else do you have to say?"

Jiang Bai's ahoge (cowlick) drooped down, indicating his defeat.

"I was wrong, I really won't do it again next time..."

"What if you do something so dangerous again next time?!"

"Uh, cleaning toilets for a month?"

"If you do anything so dangerous again, I'll send you back to where you came from! I'll make sure your coffin is nailed shut so you'll never have a chance to climb out again!"

"Waaaaah, I really won't do it again..."

Where Hu Tao couldn't see, Gu Dong gave Jiang Bai a mischievous grin.

Hmph! I've disliked him for a long time!

It always does such dangerous things; this little slime has endured too much.

Jiang Bai really wanted to cry.

After raising this slime for so long, it turns out to be a scheming slime!

He even betrayed him!

That's not all, I also have to clean the toilets for a month when I get back!

Waaaaah, this is so tragic, so tragic...

It's all Kong's fault!

May he be cursed to find the treasure chest full of cabbages!

"Ache—"

While roasting violets in the Forest of Guardians, Kong sneezed. "I feel like someone is talking about me."

Paimon looked at him worriedly, "Could it be that you caught a cold?"

"Probably not." Kong shook his head.

"I heard from the Divine Child that the Eye Hunting Order is going to be canceled. Does that mean our training is meaningless?"

"How could that be? The lady is still in the castle tower. She won't give up until she gets the Heart of God. Besides, I need to see Ray Movie to find out about the god I encountered back then..."

“That’s true. We came to Inatsuma to see Raijin, but you did see him, but you didn’t get to say anything. Besides, your warrant is still on, so you can’t move around in Inatsuma Castle.”

"So, we have to find a way to re-enter the Pure Land of One Heart and see Lei Movie again."

"Never mind all that for now! The violets are ready, right? I want to eat them!"

......

Jiang Bai followed Hu Tao around the island, looking rather silly, and eventually they arrived at the Coral Palace.

The Coral Palace is where the priestesses handle the affairs of the island, and there is also an area that serves as a shrine for the Great Serpent, containing a statue of the serpent. Many islanders regularly come to worship there.

After strolling around inside, the two left the Coral Palace.

Walnut was very interested in the large seashells that supported the Coral Palace, touching them here and looking at them there.

Jiang Bai stared intently at Gu Dong on Hu Tao's shoulder. Gu Dong shrank into Hu Tao's collar in fear. The cold touch made her shiver and she instinctively shrank her neck.

Jiang Bai's eyes reddened. "Hall Master, don't move! I'll help you drag him out!"

As he spoke, he reached into Walnut's collar to drag out that audacious slime and teach him a lesson!

It was bad enough that they betrayed him! But they even dared to sneak into the hall master's clothes! He decided to take all the remaining fragments of the Water of No Form!

When the warm fingers touched her back, Hu Tao jumped back as if she had been electrocuted.

Her face was flushed, she hugged herself tightly, and stared at Jiang Bai warily.

What do you want to do?!

Jiang Bai, belatedly realizing what was happening, said hesitantly, "Um, um... I'll help you find it..."

Gudu crawled out on its own, looking at them in confusion, completely unaware of what it had done.

Walnut grabbed it with two fingers and pulled it up to her eyes:

"Don't you dare crawl under my clothes, understand?!"

Gudu nodded blankly, not understanding why it couldn't crawl through.

"He's a boy, so he can crawl through, but I'm a girl, so I can't!"

Gu Dong's gaze became even more bewildered.

Why is it okay for men but not for women?

Hu Tao sighed. Explaining the difference between men and women to a slime that has no gender is as difficult as climbing Mount Everest.

She tossed Gudu into Jiang Bai's arms, saying, "You can talk to it."

"No problem, I'll definitely train it properly!"

Seeing Jiang Bai's smile, the weak and innocent Gu Dong trembled.

As Jiang Bai kneaded the gudong into a ball, flattened it, stretched it into a long strip, and then stuffed it into his pocket with its two eyes turned into crosses, he casually said to Hu Tao:
