La Signora: I Really Want to See How Wonderful the Boy Hu Tao Likes Is
Guyun Domain is where Zhongli suppressed many Gods, and there is also a living Gods Osial.
If fallen Gods all possessed power, that place could be considered a treasure trove for Bai Ye. If Bai Ye were to actually acquire a lot of power there, he would grow considerably.
Xiao thought for a moment and said to Zhongli, "Your the Geo Archon, I'm currently in the process of clearing out the demons and suppressing the Archon Remnant at Guyun Domain. Should I have Bai Ye join me?"
"Um."
Zhongli nodded gently.
He can trust Bai Ye to act with him.
With Xiao's strength, even if something unexpected happens, Xiao can protect Bai Ye's safety. At the same time, because Bai Ye is there, Xiao doesn't need to worry about karmic obstacles when he's fighting. Now that Bai Ye has Adeptal Art, she might even be able to clear some of Xiao's karmic obstacles.
Immediately, seeing that the Millelith was about to escort the Fatui also quickly left.
Seeing that the battle was over, Yelan began to order the Millelith to escort the prisoners of the Fatui away.
"Come on, carry the wounded out first. The rest of you can take the other prisoners away."
After giving orders to her subordinates, Yelan glanced at Dada Yangya, who was embedded in the wall and wouldn't be coming out anytime soon, and then at Bai Ye, who was frowning slightly.
"How are you? Are you alright?" she asked Bai Ye.
"No, I'm just a little exhausted."
"Okay, then I'll go."
Yelan nodded, then asked curiously, "Bai Ye, where did you release that power just now? How come you seem to have increased so much in the time we haven't seen each other?"
Especially that last strike. Not to mention a weak boy like Bai Ye, even the force of the Hilichurl King descending from the sky was not as great as his attack.
"This is not my own strength. This is the strength I borrowed from others."
Bai Ye put away the bones and broken sword, and answered Yelan.
He was half satisfied with the experiment.
What's frustrating is that the Gods power is still consuming his limited Art of Automata materials. If his already meager wallet continues to burn through resources like this, he probably won't be able to hold on. Furthermore, if he doesn't prepare mechanisms for this power before battle, he'll have to assemble them on the spot, which wastes a lot of time.
What he was satisfied with was that he could now use the powers of the Gods. Moreover, since all the Gods were dead, he wouldn't have to worry about anyone demanding repayment even if he became a debt king.
"I don't quite understand what you're saying." Yelan still didn't understand what Bai Ye was saying. "Never mind, I'll just finish my work. This time, Dada Yanga was captured by us, and I guess the Fatui are having a real headache."
"Really."
Bai Ye glanced at Wanyan and Clemento, who were still in a daze, and said with a smile.
This incident involving Dada'ya can be viewed in many ways. On a smaller scale, it could simply be the Fatui attempting to acquire treasures in the wild, which might not even qualify as a crime. However, on a larger scale, it could be seen as an attempt to overthrow the Liyue regime by colluding with Liyue's official staff (Wanyan) and other followers of the Gods.
Now, only Yelan's people can speak. What they say is entirely up to Yelan.
"Come on, pry this 'Childe' out and send him outside so he doesn't die," Yelan said to the men.
The Millelith dug Dadayangya out.
Wanyan and Klemento were also taken away by the Millelith.
Clemento still glared at Bai Ye with venomous eyes before being taken away. However, Wanyan's eyes were filled with admiration and determination before she was taken away, and she even made a face that said she would not confess even if she was tortured.
Bai Ye looked somewhat bewildered.
What exactly does that expression of yours mean?!
Forget it, this matter probably has nothing to do with me, so I won't consider it.
Seeing that everyone had left, leaving only Bai Ye and Yelan patted Bai Ye on the shoulder and said to him, "Let's go, let's leave too."
"Mm." Bai Ye nodded. At the same time, she looked at Yelan with a strange expression and said, "Yelan, may I ask you a question?"
"Sure, do you have any questions?"
"Exactly, the battle is already over, but you still have the silk thread hanging from your hand."
"Huh? Is it still hanging there?" Yelan calmly pulled up the silk thread.
Upon seeing this scene, Hagintos in Bai Ye's mind couldn't help but burst into laughter.
At the same time, she didn't forget to remind Bai Ye.
"Little Bai Ye, you'd better work hard to increase your strength. Otherwise, something might happen that I'll find amusing, but that would be utterly devastating for you."
Bai Ye: "..."
"Fine, I'll improve my strength, okay? I'll make improving my strength the third most important thing in my life, even more important than eating, sleeping, and earning Mora!"
"The third important thing?"
"Well, the most important thing is to find a way to revive you, teacher."
"Is there a first one?" Hagintos's tone was off.
"Grow taller!"
"Bai Ye say firmly," said Ye.
Hagintos didn't want to say anything.
She was powerless to do anything about it, and could only suggest Bai Ye if Ye really couldn't grow taller, she should wear layer upon layer of hats and straw hats, and pile them up as much as possible.
While Bai Ye was thinking about how to improve her strength, some people were genuinely and effectively improving their strength.
After resting at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Hu Tao bought some food and returned to the stone pillar that sealed Rosalyn.
As for cooking by herself, how could that be possible? Hu Tao wanted to cook her own special dishes for Bai Ye to taste. As for anyone else, forget about it.
Hmm... I'll include Zhongli too. When I've made some small improvements in my strength and want to show them to Bai Ye Zhongli, I'll cook a bunch of dishes for Bai Ye to enjoy.
Using her Adeptal Art, she once again entered Rosalyn's territory.
And he and Rosalyn were tested together again.
When competing with Rosalyn, Hu Tao felt that she had made great progress.
The enemies he had encountered before were either ghosts or unknown Treasure Hoarders, and he could easily deal with them using his marksmanship. However, when facing Rosalyn, he could only parry and had no chance to retaliate.
Rosalyn simply stood still, effortlessly repelling all of Hu Tao's attacks by wielding her icy whip.
Rosalyn's attack made Hu Tao feel extremely cold, and she had to constantly use her Divine Eye elemental power and Adeptal Art to keep her body temperature within a suitable range. This continuous training allowed Hu Tao to feel significant progress in both her Divine Eye and Adeptal Art.
Gritting her teeth, she relentlessly searched for an opportunity to defeat Rosalyn. Finally, Hu Tao seized a crucial moment, swiftly using her Adeptal Art to strike an opening in Rosalyn's attack.
"Write!"
Seeing that her gun was about to hit Rosalyn, she couldn't help but shout.
But just then, she felt a chilling coldness in her ankle. Looking down, Hu Tao discovered that her ankle was wrapped in Rosalyn's whip.
"Indeed, you have made a little progress in strength during our training." Rosalyn flung the Hu Tao away. "But when you're about to seize the opportunity, you also need to be careful that it may not actually be a trap left by the enemy."
Although that's what she said, Rosalyn was still secretly Dominus Lapidis. The little girl in front of her was progressing really fast. She might lack combat experience, but her talent in combat was exceptional.
If I'm willing to give her more practice, her strength will probably improve a lot in no time.
"Yes, I understand." Hu Tao nodded, then prepared to fight Rosalyn again with her gun. However, just as Hu Tao was about to attack again, Rosalyn waved her hand:
"Fighting without thinking is not good. You should reflect on what you have learned from this battle."
Incidentally, I was also able to eat this meal without any problems.
Rosalyn had been eyeing the food Hu Tao brought for a long time. If you hadn't taken it, and now that you've brought it to me, you'd be fighting me before I even get a chance to enjoy it.
She could tolerate not being able to see it, but now she can see it completely.
She was starving, and there was food right next to her, yet she was still forced to fight. If Rosalyn hadn't wanted to maintain her image as a skilled fighter, she would have quit long ago.
Now that she had a perfectly legitimate reason, she naturally wasn't going to give it up. Hu Tao began to reflect on her performance in the battle, while Rosalyn picked up the snacks Hu Tao had bought and started tasting them.
After eating a few snacks to slightly alleviate her hunger, Rosalyn began to examine the Hu Tao.
Hmm, her face is pure and lovely, her legs are slender and delicate, Twin tails are playful and innocent—she's an absolute beauty. Hmm, it's a pity she's not fully developed.
Rosalyn looked down at herself; naturally, she couldn't see her toes. As for Hu Tao in front of her, Rosalyn guessed it wouldn't be difficult for her to see her heels.
A feeling of sympathy arose in her heart.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Hu Tao asked, somewhat puzzled, as Rosalyn sized her up while eating.
"There are only the two of us here, and I'm tired of the scenery around us. If I don't look at you, who else should I look at?"
"Oh, right." Hu Tao nodded, but then casually said to Rosalyn, "Next time I come in, I'll try to get you some Liyue books to keep you entertained."
"Um..."
Rosalyn nodded happily.
Looking at Hu Tao, she asked curiously, "By the way, why are you practicing so hard, trying so hard to improve your strength? What are you planning to do? Have you encountered some enemy and want to take revenge, so you need to improve your strength immediately?"
But that's impossible! With Morax around, even if Hu Tao had any enemies, they would have been killed long ago. Why would Hu Tao need to fight personally?
"It's not for revenge!" Seeing Hu Tao enjoying the food, Hu Tao reached out and took one herself. While eating, she earnestly told Rosalyn, "I intend to protect someone. I want to prove with my strength that I can protect him!"
"Protect? Are you planning to protect the man you like?"
Rosalyn's teasing tone changed at this moment, and she looked at Hu Tao and asked.
"What do you mean you like men! That's just a normal friend of mine."
Hearing Rosalyn's teasing remark, Hu Tao immediately blushed and argued back.
"Hmph, if anyone believes what you're saying, I'll have to suspect they're brain-made of Slime."
"Hey, hey, hey, how could you say that?"
Hu Tao was getting a little anxious.
Seeing that Rosalyn had almost finished eating, she immediately picked up her spear again.
"Come on, I've almost finished understanding and comprehending it. Now let's continue the new battle."
"Okay, sure." Rosalyn nodded gently.
He stood up again, ice condensing in his hands, looked at Hu Tao, and assumed a fighting stance.
"Protecting others is much more difficult than killing them. You can't just talk about it; you have to prove it with your own weapons."
"Good!"
Hu Tao became even more serious than before, launching another attack on Rosalyn.
Seeing Hu Tao's performance, Rosalyn also put aside her resentment towards Morax and devoted herself wholeheartedly to teaching Hu Tao combat skills and sparring.
In this world, the only thing that is absolutely free from the taint of other forms of love during one's youth is the innocent, innocent love of youth.
Rosalyn couldn't help but think of herself.
If I had had the same thoughts as this girl back then, wanting to protect my lover instead of going to Sumeru to study, would things have been different?
If I had been as strong back then as I am now, wouldn't the course of the war have been different?
Rustan, perhaps he wouldn't...
Rosalyn recalled what happened back then.
As he was thinking this, he felt a slight burning sensation on his body.
Turning her head, she realized that the tip of the Hu Tao spear was really about to touch her body this time.
"You're distracted!"
Rosalyn took her first step, dodging to the side.
"Not bad, you've made significant progress. From now on, I'll have to get serious."
Rosalyn's whip became heavier, and the surrounding temperature became colder.
The past cannot be changed now, and the deceased cannot be brought back to life. You must avenge your own hatred, but you must not let your tragedy befall others.
Rosalyn looked at Hu Tao, whose face was pale from being frozen by the cold wind, and wondered which lucky person could win the favor of this girl in front of her.
She thought to herself, then whipped the Hu Tao and flung it away.
Hu Tao landed on the ground, and less than a second later she jumped up again and launched another attack on Rosalyn.
"Huff... huff..."
Hu Tao stuck the gun into the ground and gasped for breath.
Rosalyn saw that Hu Tao had reached her limit and knew that if she continued like this, it would affect her health. So she said to Hu Tao, "Alright, you've reached your limit. Let's stop here for today."
"Okay, I'm a little tired too."
The walnut is lying on the ground like a "big" character.
"Don't just rest like that, do some exercise slowly first."
When Rosalyn saw Hu Tao like this, she immediately used her whip to wrap Hu Tao up, signaling her to move around a bit more.
Although it wasn't her responsibility, Rosalyn just didn't want the girl who was in love to suffer any harm.
"Okay, okay."
Rolled up like this, Hu Tao had no choice but to start taking a slow walk.
Rosalyn nodded slightly.
That's more like it.
After moving around for a while, Rosalyn gestured for Hu Tao to leave.
"Yes, that way it won't harm your body. Okay, I expect you to improve next time. If you don't, I won't be as lenient as I was yesterday."
"Alright!"
Upon hearing Rosalyn's words, Hu Tao used her Adeptal Arts to leave.
"I really want to see who this little girl likes."
Rosalyn watched Hu Tao's disappearing figure and thought to herself.
She really wanted to see who Hu Tao liked, and who was worthy of Hu Tao's affection.
That must be a nice boy!
Rosalyn thought to herself.
After leaving the stone pillar that sealed Rosalyn, Hu Tao was still rubbing her shoulder.
"Wow, it's a bit sore. Will I be unable to sleep well if my whole body aches like this?"
Hu Tao said with some concern.
At this time, it would be great to have something that can help me sleep.
My whole body aches after exercising, and I need Bai Ye urgently!
Hu Tao thought to herself.
Then, Hu Tao saw a large group of people walking towards them on the road. Hu Tao looked and saw that it was a group of Millelith escorting the Fatui.
Wow! Is this a way to deal with the Fatui?
Hu Tao thought to herself.
Just then, Hu Tao sensed something and looked towards the furthest point in the group.
Bai Ye is over there!
What a coincidence!
Hu Tao thought to herself that as soon as she thought of Bai Ye appeared before her eyes.
Indeed, this child is destined to be with me.
Hu Tao instantly felt a surge of energy throughout her body.
With no backache or leg pain, he immediately jogged towards Ye 'Bai Ye direction.
When Bai Ye saw Hu Tao approaching, she was quite pleased. Once she got closer, Bai Ye immediately asked her a question.
How did you get here?
Hearing what Bai Ye said, Hu Tao remembered the things Zhongli Li had told her before.
"Bai Ye, come with me. I have some fun stuff over here to show you!"
I just had a sparring session with Rosalyn, and I'm exhausted, while Rosalyn is still basking in the afterglow. So, this is a good opportunity for Bai Ye to gain some combat experience.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to recover my strength in a day.
Otherwise, teaming up with Bai Ye again would be a pretty good idea.
