Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

It was still dark at this time.

Xiao subconsciously returned to the Yaksha Temple, standing quietly in the brightly lit main hall, gazing at the stone sculptures of his former colleagues.

Jiang Bai patted his shoulder and took out a lantern.

"Should we release a lantern for the night?"

Xiao looked at the little bird-shaped lamp with a puzzled expression.

"This is the result of my hard work all morning. I've never seen your true form, the Golden-Winged Roc, so I simply made a bird shape. You won't refuse, will you? You won't, will you?"

Jiang Baihua had already gone this far, and had even fought with the remnants of the demon god all night, so how could Xiao refuse?

He took the lantern and walked into the empty courtyard.

With a gentle release of the finger, the lantern slowly soared into the sky.

“I heard my master say that in a war long ago, the people of Liyue would release bright lanterns to keep the warriors from losing their way home and from losing their own hearts.”

Xiao didn't speak, but simply watched the lantern slowly rise.

The lights burn eternally, and the heroic spirits never fade.

……

Jiang Bai returned to the Hall of Rebirth, yawning incessantly.

"Master, don't wake me during the day, I want to sleep all day!"

I'm so tired, really tired.

Not only is there physical fatigue, but there is also a lot of mental fatigue.

"Are you alright?" Hu Tao asked, somewhat worried.

Jiang Bai collapsed onto Hu Tao like a limp noodle, his voice barely audible.

"After fighting the remnants of the demon god all night, my head is spinning, everything is black and white, and my hands are completely powerless... Master, am I about to die...?"

"No...it's not that exaggerated, is it..."

Hu Tao supported him, somewhat frightened by his condition.

"Master, could you rub my head, my hands, and my legs..." Jiang Bai quickly revealed his true intentions.

Hu Tao saw through his intention, but didn't say anything.

After all, fighting all night is indeed an extremely arduous task.

"Lie down."

Jiang Bai happily rested his head on Hu Tao's lap, enjoying the massage service from the Hall Master.

Jiang Bai was about to enjoy the sensation of her delicate, pale fingers gently pressing and kneading the acupoints when she fell asleep. She was fast asleep.

"Looks like you're really tired..."

Hu Tao looked down at the person on her lap and gently brushed the hair from his forehead.

Perhaps due to excessive energy expenditure, his lips were much paler than usual, which made Hu Tao feel a little sorry for him.

It's a pity she can't use ley lines to teleport, otherwise she would have gone with them.

After giving him a brief massage of his limbs, Hu Tao picked him up and carried him into the house, placing him on Jiang Bai's bed.

She skillfully took off his shoes, socks, and coat, and covered him with a blanket.

"She's sleeping so soundly..."

Hu Tao glanced back and then closed the door.

Jiang Bai slept straight through to the next day.

He got out of bed, somewhat bewildered and unable to tell the time.

"Or how long did you sleep?"

I'm so hungry.

All he wants to do right now is have a big meal.

After quickly washing up, he went out and bought a large bag of steaming hot buns.

Holding a full brown paper bag of steamed buns, he ate as he slowly walked towards Shengtang.

On the way, I met Zhongli, who was taking an early morning walk.

Good morning, Master. Have you eaten yet?

"Good morning, I was just about to go to Huyan for breakfast."

Jiang Bai had originally intended to share some steamed buns with him, but upon hearing this, he abandoned the idea.

"Please enjoy your meal..."

After saying that, he stepped over the threshold and went into the Hall of Rebirth.

"Master, come and have some steamed buns!"

Hu Tao followed the sound and came over. Jiang Bai picked up a small steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Ugh... are you trying to choke me to death?"

Why is Chapter 813 getting more and more arrogant?

How could that be?

Jiang Bai ate a small steamed bun one bite at a time.

"You slept all day, and then you eat so many steamed buns as soon as you wake up. How can that be good for your health?"

"I'm perfectly healthy. Eating some steamed buns has no effect on me."

"Fine……"

After breakfast, Jiang Bai went to find Ah Mao.

Upon arriving at the location where the divine weapon was placed, several scholars from the Order of the Church were hammering and tinkering, preparing to dismantle the massive weapon into smaller pieces and transport it back to Sumeru bit by bit.

There were many tents pitched around, and judging from their living conditions, they had obviously been there for some time.

In addition, there are several Thousand Rock Army garrison troops stationed here.

The group from the Order of the Instruction naturally caught the attention of Seven Stars. It should be said that Seven Stars had noticed this huge mechanical weapon long ago, but after figuring out where it came from, he had simply ignored it.

I don't know how the negotiations went, but in any case, Seven Stars tacitly approved of the Order Academy's plan to transport the mechanized weapons back.

Jiang Bai landed on the ground and searched through the busy crowd before finally finding that eccentric figure.

The dismantling of the machinery by the Order of the Church was none of Ah Mao's business, and without the use of pipeline connections, he could no longer operate this divine weapon.

As for reconnecting, that's even less necessary.

Putting aside the pain involved, the Order of the Church would no longer be willing to let Ah-mao operate this machine.

"Siliu!"

Jiang Bai called out the name he had personally chosen, and the person whose name was called paused for a moment before turning around to look.

"You don't seem to be used to this name yet." Jiang Bai walked over.

"Indeed, these people from the Order still call me a skirmisher, but it doesn't matter, it's just a code name."

"It seems your mindset has improved a lot."

"It's alright. Once I have a real name, I don't care about these details anymore."

Ah Mao crossed his arms and looked up at Jiang Bai. "As for you, I didn't expect to see you here. What, are you here to see if I've done anything wrong?"

Jiang Bai noticed that, after not seeing him for a while, this guy's hypocritical nature had become more and more serious.

"You're right about one thing: I did come to see you. As for whether you did anything wrong or not, that's none of my business."

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you."

Ah Mao proudly raised her head, but she couldn't quite suppress the smile on her face.

"I heard you were here, so I came to see you. If you have time, would you like to come back to Liyue with me for the Lantern Festival? Liyue Harbor is quite lively and beautiful lately."

"Lantern Festival? I think Liyue has such a festival." Ah Mao hesitated for a moment before not giving a direct answer.

"I specially made a night lantern for you, so we can release it together at night."

Upon seeing the lantern Jiang Bai took out, Ah Mao couldn't suppress the smirk on his face.

"Since you've extended such a sincere invitation, I certainly can't miss it."

He took the lantern from Jiang Bai and admired it several times.

Although the craftsmanship is not top-notch and the skill is somewhat lacking, Ah Mao still likes it very much.

After all, it's a gift.

A gift specially prepared for him.

It's been a very, very long time since I received a gift like this.

"Let's go to Liyue Harbor."

"You just left like that? Aren't you going to say goodbye to them?"

"There's nothing to say. I'm just here to be their bodyguard, I won't be of any use. The Liyue Thousand Rock Army is here now, it doesn't matter whether I'm here or not."

"Didn't they say this project needed your involvement?"

"It's just talk. A lot of the power in this mechanical weapon has been lost. After I removed the tube and left, it has nothing to do with me anymore."

A mechanical weapon that has lost its source of power is nothing but an inanimate object, and its original owner has also lost the ability to control it.

Although he said he could leave whenever he wanted, Ah Mao still dutifully found the person in charge and told him where he was going.

"I'm planning to go to Haiqi Island in a while to search for the Abyss Land. Would you like to come with me?"

“Sea Abyss…I think I’ve seen it in the Fatui’s files…”

The stragglers couldn't recall anything for a moment.

"I'll contact them when I have time and ask. If I remember correctly, the Fools have paid attention to the Sea Abyss, but they haven't placed much importance on it..."

If there's something important in the abyss, I might be able to get a mission and go to Inazuma openly (on public funds).

"Having access to the Fools' Sect is so convenient!" Jiang Bai gave a thumbs up.

Fools are scattered throughout the world, digging up secrets everywhere.

If there's anything you want to know, look among the Fools; you'll always find clues.

The two flew back to Liyue Harbor. Although it was still daytime, the city was adorned with lanterns, making it incredibly beautiful.

The streets were bustling with traffic and people.

Jiang Bai accurately located Hu Tao's position. She was currently showing Kong and Shen He around Liyue Harbor, introducing them to the fun places.

"Let me tell you, this is a fantastic fishing spot. Not only are there many different kinds of fish, but you can catch one fish with every hook. You'll never come back empty-handed."

"Fishing? Why fish? Can't we just freeze the lake and catch the fish?"

Shen He doesn't quite understand human leisure and pleasure.

"Oh, it's different now. The purpose of fishing isn't the fish, but enjoying the process and the sense of accomplishment when you catch one..."

"A sense of accomplishment?" Shen He seemed to understand but not quite.

Even so, if she wants to eat fish, she will still freeze the lake.

"Master!"

Hu Tao looked up when she heard the sound, and Jiang Bai and Ah Mao landed steadily.

"You're here! Want to have a fishing contest? I've prepared fishing rods."

"Great idea!" Jiang Bai readily agreed. Ah Mao, who had initially thought the activity was boring, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

"I don't know how..." Shen He was at a loss.

“We’ll teach you; Kong is a fishing expert!” Paimon immediately took on the task of teaching.
