Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"You were staying at the inn. When we went underground to find you, Ichidou got injured."

Hu Tao didn't mention that Jiang Bai's phantom had injured Yi Dou, as it would be pointless to say so and would only add unnecessary psychological burden to Jiang Bai.

The two walked toward the inn where Yi Dou was, and as they walked, Jiang Bai inquired about what had happened underground.

He had gone to an upside-down palace and then lost consciousness shortly afterward.

When I woke up again, I was in my own room.

“I was a little worried because we hadn’t heard from you for a while. So I dragged Grandpa along to the Abyss to look for you. Then Ichidou and Shinobu followed us, and we ran into Sora, Yelan, and Paimon…”

"As it turned out, my hunch was right; you really did get into trouble." Hu Tao said, hands on her hips.

If she hadn't had a bad feeling and gone to find him, he probably would have been frozen in there forever. Who knows if he would have survived if he had been frozen for too long.

"Speaking of which, you still haven't told me what exactly happened to you?"

Jiang Bai scratched his head, "It's nothing, I just felt a headache when I entered that palace, and then I lost consciousness..."

He didn't tell Hu Tao what the voice was saying; there was no point in saying it.

Moreover, the veracity of what the other party said is also questionable.

Maybe it was just to provoke him, to cause his emotions to fluctuate, and thus to make him fall into a coma.

Judging from the results, the effect was clearly very good. If Hu Tao and the others hadn't come to find him, he probably would have been trapped inside.

"Your memories should all have returned by now."

Jiang Bai was somewhat surprised, "How did you know, Hall Master?"

“That space can reflect some fragments of a person’s inner world, allowing them to see what they most want to see. I saw some shadows of your past there.”

"Huh?" Jiang Bai nervously touched his face.

"It's not something bad, is it?"

His tall, imposing, handsome, and dashing image must not be ruined.

Seeing his nervous look, Hu Tao smiled and said, "It's nothing, just ragged clothes and half-dead, nothing to be ashamed of."

Chapter 632 The Naive One Who Talks About Reduplicated Words

Jiang Bai wanted to escape.

What should I do if the hall master sees me looking so disheveled?

"Anything else?" Jiang Bai swallowed hard, bracing himself for an even worse answer.

Hu Tao shrugged. "That's all, I guess."

Jiang Bai took a breath and comforted himself:

Thank goodness, he's just in a sorry state. The hall master has seen him in all sorts of ways...

The thought that Hu Tao had already seen him naked sent an embarrassing blush creeping up his ears.

Sure enough, no matter when I think back on this socially awkward experience, it still feels incredibly awkward.

He quickly shifted his attention to avoid dwelling on the awkwardness.

Amidst the bustling crowd, the two walked hand in hand down the street, neither of them speaking a word.

Pedestrians on the street would occasionally cast glances at them.

After all, both Hu Tao and Jiang Bai are very good-looking, and they are especially eye-catching when they walk hand in hand.

After walking on the street for a while, seeing that Hu Tao hadn't asked any further questions, Jiang Bai hesitated and kept glancing at her.

"Just say what you want to say, why are you staring at me like that?"

"Master, aren't you curious about my past?"

He was conflicted about the past.

On the one hand, he wanted Hu Tao to ask, since knowing about his past was a sign that he cared; on the other hand, he didn't want Hu Tao to have too much contact with him.

Hu Tao shook her head. "It's not important. The past is the past. What's important is the present."

“Wangshengtang has always been your home, it was before, it is now, and it will always be.”

"There's no need to dwell on those unpleasant memories. Of course, if you want to tell me, I'd love to hear it."

Although she didn't see many memories of Jiang Bai in that underground space, she could still glean a glimpse of the whole picture from a single instance.

He must have been quite lonely before he came to Teyvat.

The destruction of my hometown, drifting through endless starry skies, a perilous battle...

After going through so much, it's really difficult for Jiang Bai to maintain his true self.

Recalling the past, especially those unhappy memories, is meaningless; it only adds to the burden.

If he is willing to talk, she will certainly listen quietly.

But she wouldn't bring up or touch on those sad things.

Listening to Hu Tao's words, Jiang Bai felt as if his heart was soaking in a hot spring, gurgling, scalding, and burning.

He lowered his head and kissed Hu Tao on the cheek, then hugged her arm and shook it repeatedly, "Master, I want a hug~"

Hu Tao blushed at his words, glancing at the passersby with extreme unease.

"Be careful on the street."

"Oh..." Jiang Bai pouted, looking sullen.

He didn't want to go looking for Yi Dou anymore; he wanted to stay home and keep kissing.

Seeing his sullen expression, Hu Tao squeezed his hand twice. "Go back and hug me..."

"I want to kiss you when we get back!"

Hu Tao had absolutely no way to deal with this childish brat who liked to whine and use reduplicated words.

"Good good..."

Jiang Bai followed Hu Tao to the inn where Ichidou and the others were staying. He soon saw Ichidou lying on the bed doing nothing and Shinobu reading a book at the desk next to him.

"Ichidou! Ren!" Jiang Bai greeted them cheerfully.

"Hey! Ah Bai, you're awake."

Yi Dou rolled over and jumped out of bed, immediately wanting to give Jiang Bai a hug.

Halfway there, my gaze fell upon his and Hu Tao's hands clasped together.

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"Boss! Boss! You! You..."

Although he had known for a long time that the two had a special relationship, seeing them holding hands and interlocking their fingers still gave him a sense of unease.

However, he was troubled by something else.

If your underling is with your boss, is he still your underling?

What should you call the male boss in a gang?

"You've arrived." Hisuki Shinobu's gaze fell on their intertwined hands, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

It seems that the two of them have finally broken through this barrier after their trip to the Abyss of Layered Rocks.

Seeing that Yi Dou was caught in some kind of dilemma, Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow.

"What, you're not welcoming me?"

He walked to the table, sat down, and poured a cup of tea for Hu Tao from the teapot.

Yi Dou hesitated for a moment, then stopped worrying about it.

Whether you're the boss or the underling, you're all brothers. There's no point in thinking about such complicated things.

His attention was drawn to Jiang Bai.

He carefully placed half of his bottom on the chair. "When did you wake up?"

"I haven't thanked you all for coming to see me with the sect leader last night."

Yi Dou waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. We're brothers. If you knew I was in trouble, you'd be even more worried than I am."

Although they were of no use on this trip, at least Jiang Bai was found.

Jiang Bai's gaze fell on his buttocks. "What's wrong with your buttocks?"

"I just got a minor injury, it'll be fine in a couple of days."

"How did you hurt your butt? Did you sit on something sharp?" Jiang Bai was very curious about how he hurt his butt.

This position is generally very difficult to injure.

"You'd better not ask anymore, let's save face for the boss." Hisaki Shinobu interrupted his questioning with a hint of helplessness.

Upon hearing Hisaki Shinobu's words, Jiang Bai showed a look of sudden realization.

It must be that Ichidou did something embarrassing and stupid again, which caused him to injure his butt.

"When we parted yesterday, did you know where Kong went? I still need to tell Jiang Bai that he's woken up," Hu Tao asked.

"It seems they went to find that immortal guy, but I don't know exactly where they went," Yi Dou said, shrugging.

"Okay, I got it. Come to Xinyuexuan tonight, I'll treat everyone to dinner."

"Wow! Boss, you're treating us!"

"This guy's awake! Shouldn't we celebrate?"

I'll also call a few friends over to make it official.

"Hehe, I promise I'll come!"

After saying goodbye to Ichidou, the two went to the Temple of the Immortal Yaksha to find Xiao.

"How is Xiao? Did he find the Floating Yaksha?"

After entering that space, Jiang Bai fainted shortly afterward and had no recollection of what happened afterward.

It's unclear whether they've actually found that Yaksha.

"Yes, in that space where that Floating Yaksha sacrificed himself, we saw some images left behind by them in the past..."

Hu Tao recounted everything that had happened in that space, which moved Jiang Bai deeply.

He looked at the Sky Island floating high in the air, his expression filled with deep worry.

The sheer terror of the dark monsters that emerged from Kanria alone is enough to give you an idea of ​​what Kanria's homeland is facing.

But this was merely a calamity that destroyed an ancient underground kingdom; it was far from being a destruction of the world.

And what kind of terrifying scene will the annihilation that person spoke of eventually coming be?

He finally found a new home, but this "home" is already on its last countdown.

Chapter 633 Official Announcement

"What's wrong?" Hu Tao noticed that he seemed a little off.

Jiang Bai shook his head. "It's just a little sad to hear this story."

No matter what, life goes on. Do your best and do what you can.

"I'm already planning to incorporate this story into 'The Chronicles of the Immortals and Yakshas II'..."

In the temple of the immortal yakshas, ​​Xiao, Jiang Bai, and Pai Meng were all present.

"Hey, Jiang Bai, you're awake!"

Upon seeing the two arrive, Paimon was the first to fly up.

Kong stood there, watching their intertwined hands, arms crossed, a half-smile on his face.

"Are you alright? Are you feeling okay?" Paimon circled around Jiang Bai, completely oblivious to any special meaning behind the two holding hands.

Xiao was relieved to see that he was alright.
