Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Then... do you still need my help?"

Jiang Bai was quite interested in experiencing what it was like to raise a child from scratch.

"what!"

Hu Tao, her whole body flushed red, threw off the blanket, covering Jiang Bai completely, and then angrily punched the blanket with her little fists.

"Master, spare me! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

Jiang Bai's exaggerated pleas for mercy came out from under the covers in a muffled voice.

Hu Tao put on her shoes and walked straight through the wall into her room next door.

She pulled the blanket over her head and decided to leave this world for the time being.

The room suddenly fell silent. Jiang Bai poked his head out from under the covers and discovered that Hu Tao was gone.

He's kind of funny.

How come I didn't notice that the leader is so thin-skinned in this regard?

Sigh, I'm going to take a cold shower.

Hu Tao stayed in her room all day, refusing to come out no matter how much Jiang Bai knocked on the door.

Even when Jiang Bai brought her food, she wouldn't open the door.

Jiang Bai had no choice but to unlock the door and go inside.

Hu Tao, wrapped in a blanket, was fussing in the corner of the bed, almost ready to draw circles with a small stick.

Jiang Bai hugged her from behind and reached out to pat her head.

"Master, please don't be angry, okay? I shouldn't have let you drink yesterday..."

"Hmph! ╯^╰!"

After so much time has passed, Hu Tao has actually calmed down a long time ago.

I just don't want to face it.

As the saying goes, drunk people reveal some of their inner emotions and do things that are completely opposite to their usual behavior.

Perhaps it's because the intoxication control system malfunctioned, but more often it's because they used alcohol as an excuse to reveal their true nature.

Hu Tao initially thought she didn't care much about this matter, but deep down she did care a lot.

She's already past her 17th birthday, but her development is still so slow. She's past the main developmental age, so this is pretty much how it will be from now on.

She herself is fine, but men all like bigger ones, so it's hard to say whether they will dislike her in the future.

"Don't you think I'm too young?"

"How could that be? Why would the hall master think that way?"

Jiang Bai was genuinely surprised that Hu Tao cared so much about this.

He took Walnut's hand in his and brought it to his lips.

"I love the leader, so I naturally accept everything about him. To me, I love the leader no matter what."

The bright sunlight shone into Hu Tao's somewhat gloomy mood, and the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up in a smile.

"But last night I discovered that there are many sides of the Hall Master that I've never seen before, they're so cute! I need to work harder so I can see all of them!"

Hu Tao blushed after he said that.

Jiang Bai pulled her out of the blanket and kissed her on the cheek.

"Moreover, I will help the hall master."

"rogue!"

Hu Tao, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, pinched the soft flesh on his waist, but didn't say anything more.

"Alright, alright, you haven't eaten all day, let's get up and go out for a meal."

Today, Hu Tao wore a tight-fitting crop top that showed off her beautiful abs. Her short skirt covered her thighs, revealing her long, straight, and slender white legs.

Her long hair was tied into two high pigtails, adorned with metal hair accessories, which flew freely as she walked.

Jiang Bai followed beside her, holding a long coat in his hand, ready to put it on her at any time.

The temperature is low at night, and although those who possess the Eye of God are much healthier than ordinary people, they still need to take precautions against catching a cold.

Perhaps having resolved a worry, Hu Tao skipped and hopped all the way, in an exceptionally good mood.

Upon arriving at the Grand Bazaar, Hu Tao pulled him into the crowd to watch the performance.

The beautiful dancer Nilu tumbled across the stage, her graceful movements mesmerizing the audience, who cheered and applauded enthusiastically from time to time.

"Alas! Seeing this lively scene, even I, the master of this hall, cannot resist the urge to perform a skill!"

"Hey? Master, can you dance?"

"I can do a lot of things, but I can't dance."

"This master learned guitar from Xin Yan, opera from Yun Jin, can also tell stories, sing well, and is especially skilled at composing poetry..."

Hu Tao listed her various skills, most of which she learned when she was bored and looking for fun.

However, ever since Jiang Bai arrived, she has hardly lacked any fun.

"Let's go, let's buy a guitar and find a place to busk."

Hu Tao and Jiang Bai arrived in a flurry of activity, and left just as quickly.

Hu Tao quickly bought a guitar and picked a spot with good foot traffic to start singing.

"When the sun comes out, I bask in the sun; when the moon comes out, I bask in the moonlight."

Various self-composed songs played, and the distinctive music, combined with the sound of guitar, attracted many passersby to stop and linger.

"Don't miss out! Authentic Liyue dark folk music, a sound you've definitely never heard before. If you enjoy it, please consider giving a small donation. If you're short on cash, just show your support!"

Jiang Bai called out at the opportune moment, and the basin in his hand actually caught some Mora.

Although they were all small denominations of Mora, they gave Hu Tao, who was singing, a lot of encouragement, and she sang even more enthusiastically.

"Hey, it looks like Hu Tao and Jiang Bai over there."

Paimon, who was strolling around the festival, spotted the two people from her high vantage point.

"They're singing! Let's go check it out!"

After saying that, he flew off excitedly in that direction.

Nasida, who had come out for some fresh air, tilted her head and became interested as well.

When Hu Tao sang her self-composed song "Qiu Qiu Yao," the melody, which was both eerie and cheerful, attracted a lot of attention.

Because it's so catchy, some onlookers have already started singing along.

Nasita's small body was obscured by the crowd, but that did not prevent his gaze from passing through them.

Looking at the relaxed expressions of the people around her, Naxi Da felt a deep sense of understanding.

"Music, art, and entertainment are indeed very important things..."

Previously, the Church had been advocating the abolition of these useless things, but now it seems that this was impractical.

Entertainment allows people to relax and unwind during breaks from studying.

A nation of knowledge also needs art.

"Kong, would you like to sing a song too?"

Paimon encouraged Kong, who was standing nearby.

"Do you remember when I sang and attracted the attention of those who cheated people out of their money?"

"There definitely won't be any scams here!"

"No, if you want to sing, you can sing it yourself."

Kong reached out and threw a few Mora into Jiang Bai's basin, successfully attracting Jiang Bai's attention.

"Thank you to the blond traveler for the 1,000 Mora! The boss is so generous!"

Chapter 756 contains a lot of information.

The celebration lasted for seven days. Jiang Bai, who had spent the seven days playing in Sumeru City, arrived at Jingshan Palace just in time.

His purpose in coming to Sumeru was to ask the Little Auspicious Grass King some questions. After transforming into the complete World Tree, Nasita was also able to answer these questions for him.

After asking these questions, I will take Hu Tao to see other places in Xumi.

He's been in Sumeru for so long, but apart from Huacheng Guo and Sumeru City, he hasn't been anywhere else.

He was accompanied by Kong, while Hu Tao was studying the headphones that Jiang Bai had obtained from Elhesen at the hotel.

Speaking of Elhesen, he hasn't been in a very good mood lately.

After all, it would be annoying for anyone to have a senior disciplinary officer following you around every day, prepared to secretly monitor you for a long time and catch you doing something wrong at any time.

Even though Al-Hysen's life was simple, with regular get off work hours and his hobby being reading, this normalcy was actually extremely abnormal in Sino's eyes.

Thanks to Sino, Jiang Bai learned where Elhesen lived and would greet him politely after get off work, successfully getting back the two headphones Elhesen was planning to leave.

Meanwhile, the recommendation process for the new Sage of the Order of the Church is also in full swing.

Although he did not become the acting Great Sage, Elhesen unsurprisingly became the acting Sage of the Epistemological School, which was suffering from a shortage of talent, and is expected to become a true Sage.

Regarding this, El-Hysen stated:

Let whoever wants to be it, I'm not going to.

Why not just slack off in your position as a clerk? Why make trouble for yourself?

Nasita did not interfere too much in the internal affairs of the Church Council. After all, the Church Council had been operating for so long and had its own set of operating logic. What she needed to do was to become the helmsman, eliminate deep-seated problems, and guide the Church Council onto the right path.

"You arrived right on time."

Nasita smiled gently at the two who entered. Although she was small in stature, her gaze inexplicably carried a sense of affection.

Ever since the Great Compassion Tree King was eliminated, Jiang Bai has felt that Naxida has changed.

But they couldn't quite put their finger on what had changed.

Perhaps it was the corrective power from the World Tree that transformed her from an innocent deity into a mature, unique grass god who replaced the Great Tree King.

This is a good thing for Xumi, as Jiang Bai's relationship with her is far inferior to that with Wendy.

This change made no difference to him.

As for experiencing more emptiness with Nasida, that's not something Jiang Bai needs to consider.

“It’s better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early,” Paimon blurted out.

Jiang Bai had absolutely no idea how this guy suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared, and had no idea where he was hiding.

"I've prepared quite a few questions, and I'm eager to know the answers."

Jiang Bai casually conjured a rattan chair and sat down. He had a lot of questions and would probably be asking them for a long time.

"No problem, I will answer all your questions if I can."

"Then I'll ask first. Is there any record of me in the World Tree?"

"I'm sorry, no."

"No? Why? Because we're outsiders?"

"Yes. The World Tree only records the memories and emotions of Teyvat; you and Kong are not stored in the World Tree."

She had long sensed Jiang Bai and Kong's special physical constitution, which was also the reason why they were unaffected by the pollution from the World Tree.

Even so, she still tried searching for their information in the World Tree, and sure enough, their information was not recorded in the World Tree.

Although there are stories, books, and legends about Teyvat, they are all preserved from the perspective of third parties.

All the people of Teyvat, their emotional memories, can be preserved from "my" perspective, but outsiders exist from a perspective outside of "my" perspective.

They can be seen and heard, but they are beyond the laws of Teyvat and cannot be recorded by the World Tree.

In other words, they, too, cannot be changed by the World Tree.
