Hu Tao: Sorry, but I'll Definitely Stand with Bai Ye!

Fun stuff?

Bai Ye was curious.

He glanced at Yelan beside him and said to her, "Yelan, why don't you take these Fatui soldiers back first? I'll go with Hu Tao to see what's going on."

Yelan glanced at Bai Ye, then at Hu Tao, and after thinking for a moment, nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then I'll escort them back by myself," Yelan nodded and said.

However, before leaving, she patted Bai Ye's head, and before Bai Ye could react, she grabbed her magic power and instantly left to catch up with the main group.

"Yelan!!!"

Seeing Bai Ye's depressed expression, Hu Tao couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hahaha..." Hu Tao patted Bai Ye on the shoulder and then comforted him, "It's okay, I believe you will grow a lot after you come."

"Yes, definitely."

Bai Ye clenched his fist.

Hu Tao patted Bai Ye again, and the pleasant scent of Bai Ye made her squint her eyes.

"Come on, I'll take you to find some fun things."

"Um."

Bai Ye was also interested in what Hu Tao said was fun, so he followed Hu Tao over.

The two returned to the stone pillar that sealed Rosalyn.

Hu Tao pointed to the stone pillar and said to Bai Ye, "Look, this is it."

"No, why are you playing with this stone pillar?" Bai Ye asked curiously, seeing the stone pillar that Hu Tao was pointing at.

"I thought we were playing with the stone pillars." Hearing Bai Ye say that, Hu Tao immediately gestured for Bai Ye to stomp his foot heavily on the ground. "Come on, you watch this..."

Hu Tao used an Adeptal Art and vanished right in front of Bai Ye.

Etc--

Bai Ye then realized what was happening.

Good heavens, this Hu Tao used some kind of Adeptal Art to enter the stone pillar and play with the La Signora!

Something feels off.

Bai Ye was somewhat worried about Hu Tao's safety, since Rosalyn was a magistrate of the Fatui.

But then I thought about it again, and it must have been Zhongli's doing that Hu Tao was able to enter the jar. Since Zhongli said there was no problem, Rosalyn definitely wouldn't dare to harm Hu Tao.

Bai Ye was still somewhat uneasy, so he also used his immortal Adeptal Art to enter the stone pillar.

Rosalyn leaned against the stone table, feigning sleep; standing for so long was too much of a burden on her chest.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, a sudden fluctuation came from the space.

Rosalyn opened her eyes and saw that Hu Tao, who had not been gone for long, had reappeared in front of her.

"Rosalyn, I'm back!"

Hu Tao said to Rosalyn.

"Huh!? Why are you back?"

Rosalyn was a little surprised to see Hu Tao return.

She looked around, but there was nothing there, and it didn't seem like Hu Tao had left anything behind.

What's the point of Hu Tao coming back?

What brings you back?

Rosalyn asked Hu Tao.

"Um..." Upon hearing Rosalyn's question, Hu Tao touched her hat and replied:

"I went out to go home. But as soon as I went out, I saw my friend, so I thought I'd bring him over so you can have a test."

"Are you using me as a punching bag for your experiments?" Rosalyn, somewhat annoyed.

"No, no, I definitely wouldn't think that way. It's just that I want to improve his strength so that he'll suffer less harm in the future."

Hu Tao quickly explained.

Rosalyn's anger lessened when she heard what she said.

Not wanting the boy you like to be in danger is not necessarily a mistake.

Why didn't I have that thought back then?

Rosalyn thought to herself.

"Okay, then I'll wait here for him to come."

Hu Tao nodded vigorously. However, after nodding, Hu Tao reminded Rosalyn, "By the way, he, he really is just an ordinary friend of mine. He's completely innocent, there's absolutely nothing wrong with him."

Rosalyn said to Hu Tao in an annoyed tone.

In her heart, she began to wonder what kind of handsome or cute man Hu Tao would like.

Well, maybe Hu Tao isn't that superficial. Maybe he's just an ordinary-looking boy who is very serious about his work?

Rosalyn's mind was filled with all sorts of wild thoughts.

Seeing that Rosalyn had agreed, Hu Tao finally felt relieved.

Then, she reminded Rosalyn, "By the way, you've also seen him."

I've seen it...

Upon hearing what Hu Tao said, Rosalyn's expression froze, and she stopped playing with the whip in her hand.

She had previously communicated with Morax through her subordinates. She had just arrived in Liyue after resolving the Mondstadt issue. The only men she had met were Tartaglia, the Fatui soldiers, Morax, and finally, Bai Ye, who fought against her.

It's impossible for Tartaglia and the Fatui' soldiers; Morax's strength is not enough for him to be tested.

Then...

"Bai Ye!"

She gritted her teeth and said, "..."

As she was saying this, a ripple came from the space, and Bai Ye appeared in front of her.

"[La Signora], it's been a long time!"

Rosalyn was silent at first, then quickly turned angry.

It's all because of this person in front of me!

If I hadn't fought him, I wouldn't have ended up in this state.

This guy...

How can it be so beautiful?

Such a thought first popped into Rosalyn's mind. But she immediately shook her head.

Why would I be thinking about his appearance at this moment?

The more beautiful this face is, the more annoying it becomes...

Forget it, I'm not going to watch it.

She stared intently at the sky above Bai Ye, her face filled with murderous intent.

Seeing Hu Tao 'Rosalyn strange expression, and then glancing at Bai Ye, Hu Tao finally remembered.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot, Rosalyn, you were imprisoned because of your fight with Bai Ye." Hu Tao said, then raised the spear in her hand. "So, you want to fight him? Then you'll have to get past me first."

Hu Tao once again assumed a fighting stance.

Although she was a little tired, no one could hurt Bai Ye.

"It's alright, Hu Tao, Rosalyn can't hurt me."

Bai Ye comforted Hu Tao Taoyu.

He was still confident in Zhongli.

If Zhongli is willing to let Hu Tao enter this place to find Rosalyn, then it proves that Rosalyn is currently not allowed to harm others.

Do you, Rosalyn, still want to test Morax's strength again?

However, Bai Ye had a question, and he asked Hu Tao:

"By the way, Rosalyn is much stronger than you. What combat experience would you gain if you challenged her?"

Combat experience can only be gained by sparring with someone slightly stronger than oneself. For example, Bai Ye would gain a lot of combat experience fighting Tartaglia, even if Tartaglia activated his Fatui Delusion and Bai Ye didn't use his special powers, he would still have ways to deal with and dodge.

When Hu Tao faced Rosalyn, wasn't he completely crushed? Where did he gain experience?

"Hey, hey, hey, are you looking down on me?" Hu Tao was a little unconvinced when she heard Bai Ye say that. But then, she honestly said, "Well, Rosalyn has a seal on her body, so it's impossible for her to unleash her full power."

Rosalyn's eyes were practically spitting fire.

This Hu Tao says everything!

I...

Rosalyn wanted to be angry with Hu Tao, but then she realized that she did it because she liked her.

Therefore, all the problems are related to the Bai Ye.

I need to teach Bai Ye a lesson first, and then give Hu Tao a good talking-to so he won't be deceived.

If things still don't change, then it can only be said to be true love. Although I hate Bai Ye, I will not hate true love.

"Even if I have a seal, you still can't handle me."

Rosalyn looked straight up at the Bai Ye sky and said.

"Is that so?" Bai Ye quietly raised his arm, which was adorned with the Genshin Eye.

"Then you should give it a try! I'm really looking forward to it!"

With the seal intact, perhaps I can finally take my revenge.

Bai Ye continued to provoke.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Are you afraid you'll lose and can't look me in the eye?"

"Hmph, looking down is too tiring."

Rosalyn snorted and said to the two of them.

Bai Ye's laughter abruptly stopped.

He looked at Rosalyn's height and felt hurt.

Hu Tao glanced at Rosalyn's chest, thinking that she was tired because she was looking down and falling, and felt that she had been affected and hurt even though she hadn't said anything.

"Let's have a serious competition!"

Bai Ye honestly said to Rosalyn.

I was just trying to be a little devil when I was humiliated. I won't do such a shameful thing again.

"Hmph, it should have been done a long time ago!"

Rosalyn swung her whip again.

This time it wasn't a fight against Hu Tao; she knew Bai Ye's strength. Besides, she wanted to win a real victory to give herself some psychological comfort.

The ice no longer appeared alongside Rosalyn; instead, several ice swords appeared out of thin air behind Bai Ye and fell down, or ice flowers appeared at the soles of Bai Ye's feet, trying to freeze him.

Bai Ye swiftly manipulated the wind elements to gather and stir.

Then, in mid-air, he waved his hand and sent out a mechanical flying wheel that sliced through Rosalyn.

This is a simplified version of the wooden kite. While retaining its ability to fly and be controlled, it has been completely modified with blades capable of cutting through ice. Bai Ye also imbued it with wind element, allowing it to counter Rosalyn's ice.

Rosalyn immediately released a layer of ice in front of her body to protect herself.

The blade sliced through the ice.

The ice and the gale collided constantly, producing a piercing sound.

Finally, with a crisp sound, the block of ice shattered.

But Rosalyn is not mentioned later.

At this moment, Rosalyn suddenly appeared beside Bai Ye.

He lashed out at Bai Ye with the whip.

"Ah!?"

Hu Tao exclaimed in surprise.

However, the scene in the story where Bai Ye was knocked away did not appear.

A shield appeared beside Bai Ye, with blue wind elemental energy rolling on it.

"Well, I'm worried about something going wrong, so I always have to take extra precautions."

Bai Ye smiled and said to Rosalyn.
