Killing intent against no trace, want to touch Lumine? Don't even think about it.

Childe chuckled, easing the tense atmosphere.

He then teased Zhongli.

"Mr. Zhongli is still the same as ever."

"When it comes to paying the bill... or having someone else pay, he never looks at the price, nor his wallet."

Then, he said something rather perplexing.

"He actually understands the value of money, and he's also very aware of the hardships of the common people."

"But he seems unable to grasp that 'poverty' is a state that can also befall him..."

"Or, put another way, he simply can't imagine himself without money."

Upon hearing Childe's evaluation of Zhongli, Paimon chimed in with agreement.

"That's just unbelievable. How is this kind of person not starved to death yet?"

[Paimon, The Complainer]

[Zhongli: ???]

[I have a premonition, let's start with a famous quote photo op]

[Hahaha, this picture will definitely become a new meme]

[Hahaha, truly unbelievable. How has this Paimon not been beaten to death yet?]

After hearing so much from Childe, Zhongli was a little displeased.

It was because he talked too much.

"Mr. 'Childe' still loves to joke around so much."

"Alright, the kite purchase went smoothly. Before we prepare for the next item, there's no need to rest, right?"

Zhongli turned and began discussing the next preparatory matters with Lumine.

The "Rite of Descension" required supplies.

It also required manpower.

Near the docks, one could hire some capable helpers.

Zhongli's words clearly carried a hint of wanting them to leave.

Childe wasn't bothered.

He took out another money pouch and handed it to Ying.

"You understand without me saying it, right? You handle the bargaining yourself. Make sure Zhongli doesn't get involved."

Guinaifen's livestream.

Seeing the walking ATM, Childe, give the player another bag of money.

"Everyone, is it bad for us to suspect him like this?"

"He keeps giving us money."

[Hahaha, is Xiao Guizi feeling a bit too indebted?]

[Streamer, please remember what you said. This is a scam!]

[This Mora feels hot in my hands.]

[Put it in my pocket, my pocket is cool.]

[No way, are the Fatui this rich? Just giving it away like that?]

[He gave the money to me and even called my name. He has me in his heart!]

However, Guinaifen's guilt vanished the very next second.

Childe smiled and watched the three of them leave.

He then performed an impressive act of changing his expression.

One moment, it was a kind smile.

The next, his face was cold.

"Hmm... I arrived a step too late. It seems I missed some interesting news."

Childe looked in the direction the three had disappeared, his expression grim.

"...Next time, I'll find a more suitable moment to appear."

Although Lumine was not present in this segment.

But the players could see it.

It directly startled Guinaifen.

"Damn, a face-changing trick, he really has no good intentions."

"This money, it's worth taking!"

[The streamer has flexible moral boundaries]

[Holy crap, it's a real pig butchering scam]

[Childe probably doesn't know where the Remains of the Primordial One are either, trying to eavesdrop?]

[I know where it is, it's in the Golden House, give me money]

"It's like they're trying to exchange information for money, he might profit anyway."

"But we definitely won't lose out."

[Big mouth Paimon almost spilled everything just now]

[Why do I see the Millelith behind Childe saluting in Zhongli's direction?]

[Does Wangsheng Funeral Parlor have such high status?]

[You're overthinking it, it's just an idle animation]

Lumine haggled with Zhongli all the way.

The matter was quickly settled.

They returned to where they were before.

Childe was still waiting for news there.

"Yo? Did you get it done?"

Childe saw Lumine preparing to return the money bag to him.

He quickly waved his hands in refusal.

"You don't need to return the rest of the money, just take it for yourself. Those who work for the Fatui never lose out."

Little Paimon crossed her arms.

"Hmph, can such charity buy me— When will you give me the next payment?"

Lumine rubbed her forehead.

Guinaifen immediately imitated the "Add Money" ascetic.

"Does Master not know that the Traveler is my dearest friend, my brother?"

"You, Emergency Food, would care about such things?" (pinching her throat)

"Master misunderstands, more money is needed!"

[Holy crap, "Master," LOL]

[Teyvat has its own Ding Xiu]

[Is Paimon going to run?]

[I want to join the Fatui, everyone]

[So capable, Master]

Guinaifen couldn't stand the look of the comments.

"You're bought with just this little money?"

"Mu Yang also gave us a bag of money!"

[Streamer, don't be stubborn, Mu Yang isn't a real Rich Guy]

[I just want to be the Rich Guy's dog, I don't care who the Rich Guy is]

[The Fatui is a large organization, they have activity funds. How can Mu Yang compare alone?]

On Mu Yang's side.

He really didn't expect Paimon to be so brilliant.

He almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It's like Teyvat has its own "Add Money" guy.

Childe was also very generous with Paimon's request for more money.

"Haha, I have a piece of news. If you can tell it to me, I'll open the vault of the Northland Bank to you for half an hour."

Paimon's eyes turned into Mora.

"What news?!"

Lumine pinched her little face.

"No—way—!"

Paimon shook her head, breaking free from Lumine's grasp.

"Huh? Do you know what he wants?"

Ying put her hands on her hips.

She wondered what else the Fatui could possibly want.

In Mondstadt, La Signora had already stated it directly.

In an instant, Childe released killing intent.

Mu Yang, hidden in the shadows, retaliated with Sword Intent.

He immediately cast Trace-less on Lumine and Paimon.

Childe was stunned.

He glanced in Mu Yang's direction.

He saw nothing.

Childe retracted his killing intent.

"Alright, alright, really, what is Lumine talking about?"

"What happened to us? The atmosphere just now was so strange."

Zhongli walked over at this moment.

"Next, for the 'Eternal Offering,' we need to go to 'Bubu Pharmacy.'"

"That's the most famous pharmacy in Liyue Harbor."

He sensed that the atmosphere between Lumine and Childe was a bit off.

"Hm? What's wrong with you two?"

Childe grinned playfully.

"Heh... Nothing. I was just telling them that they don't need to repay the remaining Mora."

"Well then, let's part ways here."

After Childe left.

Paimon whispered to Lumine.

"Waaah... just now, Paimon definitely felt a very terrifying killing intent..."

Lumine had also felt Childe's killing intent.

She looked in Mu Yang's direction.

Although everyone else seemed unaware of Mu Yang's presence nearby.

Lumine could clearly sense where he was.

"Besides the killing intent, there was something else. Mu Yang helped us."

Paimon nodded.

"The moment I felt the killing intent, it was like being covered by something, it felt so safe..."

[Holy crap, Mu Yang made a move just now?]

[Uh, if Ying hadn't said it herself, I would have almost forgotten]

[How can you forget something like that?]

[Mu Yang is really good at hiding. Zhongli and Childe still haven't noticed him]

Mu Yang followed the three to Bubu Pharmacy.

He would be able to meet them soon.

"I wonder how much you can remember about me now?"
