Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

The hot tea last night was his oversight.

He had no memory of anything after drinking it.

He couldn't understand why he would become sworn brothers with someone from Inazuma.

All I can say is that he truly lives up to his reputation as the embodiment of pure Yang, doing things that he would never normally be able to do.

If it had been taken as a joke, it would have been fine, but the other party actually came knocking on my door.

I'm so distressed, really distressed.

"Whoosh! It's so cold! I'm freezing to death!"

The man holding the ice mist flower was emanating a chill from his body, but he stubbornly refused to let go.

"Boss, why are you doing this?"

Jiuqi sighed, feeling like she was taking care of a kindergarten child.

"This ice mist flower dared to hit me! I refuse to believe I can't pull it out!"

After struggling for half a day, panting heavily and with his hands frozen, Yi Dou still couldn't get the ice mist flower out.

Chongyun looked around for a long time, and finally walked out with a heavy heart.

"That's not how you pick ice mist flowers."

Upon seeing Chongyun emerge, Yidou's eyes lit up. He immediately abandoned the Ice Mist Flower and tried to put his arm around Chongyun's shoulder.

"Hey, buddy, you're out here!"

Chongyun was not used to such enthusiasm and took two steps back.

"You can just call me Chongyun."

"Chongyun, right? My name is Arataki Kazuto. Just call me Boss!"

"This...isn't that inappropriate?"

"Oh, it's not a bad thing. We almost became sworn brothers, so what's wrong with you calling me 'boss'?"

Yi Dou, a bold and unrestrained man, put his arm around Chong Yun's shoulder. Chong Yun, who looked thin and frail, resembled a little chick and dared not speak.

"Fine... alright..." Under his tyrannical influence, Chongyun had no choice but to agree.

Upon hearing his agreement, Ichidou was overjoyed and immediately laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha! Don't worry, boss, I'll protect you!"

"Why did I hear Ichidou's laughter?"

Jiang Bai, who was lying on the grass with a blade of grass in his mouth, raised his head.

"You heard me right, I heard it too."

"Why did he come to Tianheng Mountain? Let's go and see."

Jiang Bai pulled Hu Tao to her feet, brushed the grass clippings off her clothes, and headed towards the direction from which the sound came.

As Jiang Bai and Hu Tao walked down the mountain, they saw Yi Dou with his arm around Chong Yun's shoulder, looking like he was about to force her into prostitution.

"It really is you guys! What are you doing?"

"Hey, boss, Ah Bai, you guys are here too!"

Seeing them put Yi Dou in a good mood.

"This is my new little brother. You all know him, so I won't introduce him."

Hu Tao and Jiang Bai both had a question mark appear on their heads, and then looked at Jiu Qiren.

Hisagi Shinobu shrugged, giving him a look that said, "Don't ask me, I can't explain it."

The two turned their gaze to Chongyun, who looked distressed.

Don't look at him; he can't explain it either.

In the end, it was Ichidou who explained what had happened.

Although Chongyun seemed like a completely different person after unleashing his pure Yang power, in a state similar to being drunk and not fully conscious, he was still able to communicate.

After all sorts of exorcism methods proved ineffective against Yi Dou, Chong Yun sensed that the ghost before him was extraordinary, and thus began to communicate with it.

One side is a Taoist priest with a pure yang body who wants to exorcise evil spirits, but can't find any demons or evil spirits no matter what he tries.

One side consists of the ghosts, who are often regarded as ominous and evil spirits and driven away by people.

Their dramatic experiences collided, and the two inexplicably empathized with each other's feelings, developing a mutual respect and appreciation.

Then, with a shout and a fight, the sworn brotherhood was formed naturally.

Although it still felt unbelievable to the person involved after they regained consciousness.

"Really...really?" Chongyun expressed sympathy for Ichidou's plight.

Then, for some reason, it understood why the creature with the Pure Yang Body would feel a sense of kinship with this ghost.

"Hey, that's all in the past. Nobody dares to bully me now!"

Chongyun sighed, "But I'm still the same; all my exorcism skills are completely useless..."

After finally finding the evil spirit, the pure yang body stood there and the evil spirit disappeared on its own, rendering his exorcism technique useless.

Normally, I just use it to chase away Hilichurls and such...

"Don't be discouraged. The more skills you have, the better. You never know when they might come in handy!"

Yi Dou patted him on the shoulder, and his optimistic attitude cheered Chong Yun up quite a bit.

"That's right, so I've been diligently practicing magic and martial arts to make all the evil spirits in the world disappear!"

"Very good, that's ambitious!"

"Alright, do you still want to become sworn brothers? I, the head of this hall, can be your witness." Hu Tao, always eager for a good show, said.

"No, no, my family rules are strict. We can call each other friends or brothers, but there's no need for a sworn brotherhood."

"Alright, alright, just call me boss."

I won't force you to take even a single bushel.

He currently has no plans to develop a branch of the Wilderness faction in Liyue.

"Speaking of which, boss, what are you guys doing here?"

"Fishing." Even though it's automated fishing, it's still fishing.

"Let's go fishing! Let's have a competition to see who catches the most fish!"

Hu Tao invited them to go fishing together, saying it would be more fun with more people.

Jiang Bai's gaze held a hint of resentment.

His private time with his girlfriend... I should have just pretended I didn't hear Ichidou's voice...

Following Hu Tao to the spot where they had been fishing, Ichito glanced at the fishing rod casually stuck in the ground, then at their bucket.

"Boss, you didn't catch a single one."

"Fishing isn't that easy."

"Let me tell you, don't be fooled by the small size of this pond, it's actually quite deep. There's a special kind of silverfish here, about the size of a palm, that's incredibly delicious. I don't usually tell people about it."

As she spoke, Hu Tao felt a little hungry.

Yi Dou peered into the pool; the water was clear and a deep blue, but he couldn't tell how deep it was.

Is there something at the bottom of this pool?

He could vaguely see some huge bricks and stones, like the walls of an ancient ruin.

"I think so, but the water is quite cold, and it looks quite deep. I've never been down there."

"We've got nothing else to do, let's go down and take a look. Maybe there's some treasure somewhere." Jiang Bai was eager to try.

"How long can you hold your breath underwater? Exploring underwater is no easy task."

The reason why Walnut has never explored underwater is because underwater exploration is a very troublesome thing.

After all, a person will die if they don't breathe, and holding their breath can last for a while.

This isn't the special water like in Fontainebleau; if there were no oxygen, you could drown in it.

Is there a problem with Octopus #638?

"It's alright, isn't there Chongyun here? We'll freeze the water, and then you can open another path down, Master."

"Huh?" Chongyun looked down at the water, which was of unknown depth, and subconsciously uttered a hesitant sound.

He usually practices martial arts and magic, and doesn't use elemental power much.

Although the pool wasn't large, it was very deep, and he wasn't sure if he could freeze.

"No, wouldn't all the fish freeze to death?" Hu Tao directly rejected Jiang Bai's suggestion.

There are many creatures living in this lake. If it freezes, all the creatures in the lake will be killed.

When the ice melts and the sun shines on it, it will smell terrible.

Walnut didn't want her fishing paradise to become a stinking place.

Seeing that Hu Tao had given up on her idea of ​​freezing the entire lake, Chongyun breathed a sigh of relief.

He might not be able to freeze the entire lake.

Even if I could, I would definitely be exhausted.

"Do you think everyone is like you, able to jump around even when frozen?"

Jiang Bai scratched the back of his head innocently, "I didn't think of that for a moment..."

"If you want to go down and take a look, then swim down yourself. I'm going to fish."

Walnut sat down on the grass, picked up the fishing rod stuck in the ground next to her, and started fishing.

"All right……"

Seeing Hu Tao fishing, Jiang Bai sat down next to her and picked up a fishing rod.

Going down alone is no fun; you'll get wet and have to change clothes, which is a hassle.

"Any more fishing rods? Give me one."

Yi Dou was eager to try his luck, ready to catch a big carp and amaze everyone.

"Here!"

Jiang Bai took out a fishing rod and gave it to him.

Yi Dou weighed the fishing rod in his hand, then took a running start and cast the hook directly into the center of the lake.

"I'm determined to catch the biggest fish ever!"

"Do you want some? I have more fishing rods." Jiang Bai pulled out two more fishing rods.

Hisaki Shinobu took a fishing rod and sat down to fish, while Chongyun shook his head and continued his training under the shade of a tree.

Not long after, Yi Dou cast his fishing rod first, and a silver fish took the bait and leaped into the air.

"Whoa! My fish has taken the bait!"

Jiang Bai glanced at his fish, his heart unmoved.

He wasn't really there to fish.

While Hu Tao was intently fishing with her eyes fixed on the water, he slowly moved closer to her and quietly snuggled up to her.

Hu Tao glanced at him, while Jiang Bai smiled with a thin, delicate face.

"Master, let's go fishing together."

The fish took the bait very quickly, and soon there were several in the bucket.

These fish are incredibly energetic. Even in the cramped bucket, they keep slapping their tails, shaking out most of the water.

Hu Tao looked at the unusually agitated fish in the bucket, somewhat puzzled.
