Beidou's Ship Encounters Venti, Four Anemo Boys Gather Together

Without relying on the power of the Gods, Bai Ye would actually find it somewhat difficult to deal with Rosalyn. However, this was just as well, as it would allow him to cultivate the ability to not give up when facing powerful enemies.

After using the mechanism to block Rosalyn's attack, Bai Ye weakened the Anemo Element in his body and landed on the ground.

He then rolled on the spot, and several Handheld Crossbow appeared in his hands, which he then fired at Rosalyn.

Rosalyn once again activated her ice shield to defend herself.

Compared to the last battle, Bai Ye has improved in both physical strength and other aspects. Furthermore, Zhong Rosalyn has Zhongli away her first form, limiting the extent of her power. When facing Bai Ye's attacks, she can only use ice to defend herself.

Thus, the two sides reached a point where neither could gain the upper hand.

Bai Ye can use Anemo Element to dodge Rosalyn's attacks, while Rosalyn uses ice element to withstand Bai Ye's attacks.

The two sides went back and forth, and the fighting was incredibly intense.

Finally, seeing that the elemental power in his body was almost depleted, Bai Ye waved his hand to stop the energy flow.

"Okay, that's all for today."

"What? You're done for?" Rosalyn said mockingly. At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief. Every attack Bai Ye made carried the force of Anemo Element, and she had to freeze it. Her physical exertion was much greater than Bai Ye 'Bai Ye. She was just holding on.

After all, she was a woman over five hundred years old, Bai Ye was just a fourteen-year-old child. To be exhausted by such a fourteen-year-old child would be a complete loss of face.

"Well, there will be other opportunities in the future, let's do it again!"

Bai Ye said nonchalantly. His age was his biggest advantage anyway. Even though he lost, what could others say? A fourteen-year-old kid couldn't beat a five-hundred-year-old woman? Wasn't that normal?

After stretching his body a bit, he pulled Hu Tao away.

The most striking feature is the ruthlessness of the post-war era.

Hu Tao also obediently left.

"Damn you, what do you think this place is?"

Seeing Bai Ye and Hu Tao disappear, Rosalyn couldn't help but yell and curse.

You come and go as you please? What do you take this place for?

Rosalyn swore that if she hadn't been sealed away by Morax, she would have gone out to settle scores with Bai Ye.

Once outside, Hu Tao couldn't resist poking Bai Ye's ribs.

"Hey, you're so mean. Rosalyn is probably furious."

"Well, it's her fault for almost driving me to my death back then. If it weren't for her sudden help, I'd probably be your customer by now..."

"Come to think of it, that guy is pretty awful too."

Hu Tao put her hands on her hips and said.

Damn it, if no one had helped me back then...

"But since we were on different sides at the time, it doesn't really matter. Hu Tao, that guy was a pitiful soul too..."

Bai Ye recounted the whole story of Rosalyn's death to Hu Tao.

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Hu Tao's face showed surprise.

"So that's how it is..."

She resolved in her heart that she would fight Rosalyn even more seriously the next time she saw her.

There was some sympathy, but Hu Tao knew even more clearly that if she couldn't protect Bai Ye properly, then Rosalyn's future might become her own.

After thinking about it for a while, Hu Tao felt scared.

No, I need to work even harder.

She thought to herself.

Hu Tao and Bai Ye arrived at Liyue Harbor together, and then they parted ways.

Bai Ye rested at home for two or three days. Before anyone else could look for him, Keqing came to find him first.

Before commencing construction on the Guili area, the renovation plan for dilapidated buildings in Liyue Harbor must also begin first. Although Keqing has a large number of construction workers, the sheer number of dilapidated buildings in Liyue Harbor due to years of expansion is overwhelming.

Keqing was quite busy.

So she began to search for Bai Ye.

Standing in front of the breakfast stall, Keqing told Bai Ye all about what had happened.

"Bai Ye, lately we've been lacking a lot of things, whether it's moving bricks or laying stones. Do you have any good solutions?"

You're skilled in Art of Automata; could you think of a way to help me find some mechanical labor?

If you get the right to build Guili from me, you'll have to find a way to contribute something.

"The workforce in government offices..."

Upon hearing Keqing's words, Bai Ye scratched his head.

"Design the mechanism from scratch?"

Bai Ye was thinking.

This kind of mechanical device that can move bricks and build walls should ideally have a robotic arm for easy handling. It would also be best to give it some mobility, if it could move...

Wait, why does that sound so familiar?

Bai Ye was constantly thinking.

Just then, several adventurers walked up to Bai Ye and Keqing, chatting about their adventures that day.

"That was close today! I almost got killed by that Ruin Guard. Luckily, I ran fast."

"But something's strange. Normally, there aren't any Ruin Guard around! Why are they showing up today?"

"Who knows... Anyway, if it weren't for that Demon-Queller just happened to pass by, we would be in danger today."

Ruin Guard!

Bai Ye instantly understood.

"Yes, Keqing, as long as there are enough Ruin Guard, our work will be much easier."

He said to Bai Ye.

"Ruin Guard?" Keqing said with some surprise.

Is that thing really safe to kill? Normally, adventurers would only avoid the Ruin Guard, and even Keqing would only see it as an enemy. Now you're telling her to kill the Ruin Guard to do the renovations?

Is this really feasible?

Seeing that Keqing seemed somewhat disbelieving, Bai Ye waved his hand and said to her, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. It's just turning the Ruin Guard into construction workers, right? It's not difficult at all."

The Ruin Guard is a war machine left behind by Khaenri'ah, capable of performing various war missions and possessing numerous functions. Now, Bai Ye aims to remove most of these functions from the Ruin Guard, retaining only movement and gripping actions. The difficulty is not particularly high.

Simply put, it's difficult to turn a mentally challenged person into a normal person, but it's not difficult at all to turn a normal person into a mentally retarded person.

You can do it by just hitting it a few more times.

The methods for dealing with the Ruin Guard are similar.

Is it true?

Keqing still had some doubts.

If it were that easy to solve, would the Teyvat have been overrun with Ruin Guard for so many years?

Hearing Keqing's disbelief, Bai Ye said to her, "Whether you believe me or not, I'll just go find a few Ruin Guard, won't that solve the problem?"

The matter of modifying the Ruin Guard sounds simple, but Bai Ye estimates that there are no more than ten people in the Seven Nations with this ability. However, no matter how you look at it, Bai Ye is definitely one of those ten.

"I'll go and catch it for you to experiment on. However, all experiments must be conducted in front of me so that I can see that it has no possibility of harming anyone else."

After thinking for Keqing gritted her teeth and said to Bai Ye.

If the Ruin Guard can be upgraded, it would be a great thing for Liyue.

"Okay." Bai Ye nodded in agreement.

Just as Hu Tao was about to go find the Ruin Guard, Xiao's voice came from behind them.

"Are you planning to go find the Ruin Guard?"

"The Demon-Queller!?" Keqing was somewhat surprised to see Xiao.

"Xiao, you actually came to Liyue Harbor?"

Bai Ye had the same reaction.

He never expected that Xiao would come to Liyue Harbor.

Isn't Xiao the one who dislikes crowds the most?

Xiao felt a little embarrassed being stared at like that by Bai Ye and Keqing.

He whispered to Bai Ye, "I need to go to Guyun Domain. There are Ruin Guard there. Bai Ye, would you like to come with me?"

He stammered as he spoke, as he had never invited anyone to participate in an activity before, and this was the first time he had asked Bai Ye for such an invitation, so he was genuinely finding it difficult to say it.

It is worse than killing a terrified person to ask others for help.

"You're going to Guyun Domain? Do you want me to come with you?"

Xiao nodded.

Bai Ye thought about it for a moment, and then agreed.

Hmm, I guess he's going to the Guyun Domain to suppress those Archon Remnant, but he's worried about having too much karma on him, so he wants me to help him absorb a batch. But this also makes it easier for me to go there and collect some power.

In truth, Zhongli will surely find out if I do this.

Damn, he actually agrees to this?

Bai Ye said to Keqing, "Alright, you can continue with your business. I'll also take care of capturing the Ruin Guard. I'll capture him and then modify him."

"I can help with the capture."

Upon hearing that Bai Ye intended to go to Guyun Domain together, Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he could contribute more.

"Um."

Bai Ye didn't hold back either.

Wait a minute, let him absorb more negative karma; that's much better than saying thank you.

"Alright, since the Demon-Queller is by your side, then there's no problem. I'll continue with my work."

Keqing was relieved to see that Xiao was going to act with Bai Ye. She still had a lot of work to do, so she didn't linger and left in a hurry.

For civil engineers, the work begins right after breakfast.

After Keqing left, Xiao looked at Bai Ye and gave him a look, indicating whether it was time for Bai Ye to set off.

Bai Ye asked Xiao:

"By the way, how did we get there? It's quite difficult for my Art of Automata to fly to Guyun Domain."

"Your Majesty... someone has arranged for us to take a boat from Liyue Harbor to Guyun Domain."

"Has someone hired a boat to take us there?"

Xiao nodded.

Hearing Xiao say that, Bai Ye silently glanced at Hu Tao.

Zhongli must have hired the boat, so the money he spent naturally went to poor Hu Tao.

Xiao was somewhat bewildered by Bai Ye's constantly changing expression. However, he decided to stop thinking about what he couldn't understand and led Bai Ye towards the port.

Upon arriving at the port, a large ship was anchored there.

"That's the ship."

Xiao saw the ship and spoke to Bai Ye.

This ship?

Looking at the ship, Bai Ye felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

I followed Xiao.

Upon arriving at the ship, seeing the disembarking boat and the ronin following it, Bai Ye knew exactly what was going on.

Damn, isn't this the Northland Bank?

Standing no less tall than Ningguang, Beidou held a flask of sake in her hand, her face slightly flushed, exuding energy and a dashing air. Beside her stood Inazuma Kaedehara Kazuha had traveled to various countries.

"Come on, my two guests, get ready to board!"

Beidou looked at Xiao as he walked over and said.

Then, she saw Bai Ye behind Xiao.

After taking a few more glances, Beidou immediately walked to Bai Ye's side and said:

"Hey guys in the back, are you interested in pursuing a promising career as a maritime merchant?"

Bai Ye quickly shook his head.

There's no reason to try and get people on board as soon as you meet them.

"What a pity, what a pity."

When Beidou heard Bai Ye's refusal, a look of regret appeared on his face.

Just as Bai Ye was pondering whether Beidou was going to express his regret at not boarding the ship.

Beidou continued speaking:

"It's a pity that I'm considered a legitimate maritime merchant."

Bai Ye:??????

Elf:??????

Kazuha:?????

Something's wrong with you.

Seeing the three Anemo boys staring at her, Beidou laughed and said, "I was just joking, trying to lighten the mood. But, my friend, your appearance is truly captivating. If you see I'm drunk, remember to leave quickly, or who knows what I might do when I'm intoxicated."

Bai Ye:"..."

They followed the Beidou and boarded the boat.

As Bai Ye walked over, Bai Ye asked Beidou with some curiosity, "Beidou, are we the only two guests on your ship?"

Kazuha shook his head. "It's not just the two of you, there's another person. He secretly boarded the ship from Mondstadt and almost stole our wine. After we send you to Guyun Domain this time, we'll be heading back to Mondstadt again, and we'll have to send him there too."

Stealing wine on the ship?

There's probably only one person in Mondstadt who could do that, right?

Bai Ye seemed to sense something and looked towards the ship.

At that moment, chaos erupted on the ship as a bard wearing a green hat hopped and skipped out of the cabin. He carried a bottle of wine in his hand.

"Hey, hey, hey, I've been singing you poems all the way here, so just let me have a drink of this wine! Just a little bit, please!"

As she ran, Venti spoke to the people behind her.

Just then, he leaped into the air and landed right between Bai Ye and Beidou, where he was blocked by Bai Ye, Xiao, Beidou, and Kazuha.

"Oops, I jumped to the wrong place."

Venti scratched her hair and said to the group.

However, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao.

"Last time, we alleviated some of the symptoms of his karmic retribution. I wonder if he's feeling better now?"

Venti thought to herself.
