What about later?

Ayaka continued to focus her attention on the cave entrance.

I want to see what the real person looks like when they appear.

A blue breeze swirled, and a boy with a high ponytail emerged.

Why did Aqing say we couldn't watch it?

Ayaka looked closely at Bai Ye's face.

Then...

Ayaka suddenly felt her heart stop beating for a moment.

Ling Hua finally understood what Keqing Qing meant by her words.

It is truly an absolute beauty.

She has a straight figure, slender legs and a slim waist, and her hair is styled in a single ponytail, giving her a carefree and elegant look.

The youthful vigor of a young swordsman can easily enter a young girl's erotic dreams.

Because of her own circumstances, Ayaka longed for the freedom of a wandering knight, to leave her mark on Seven Nations. Looking at Bai Ye, Ayaka suddenly felt that this was exactly what a wandering knight should look like in her mind.

I really want to look at her a few more times!

Ayaka's gaze remained fixed on Bai Ye.

Keqing stood to the side, and seeing Ayaka's pathetic behavior, she couldn't help but cover her forehead.

I know this all the time; any woman who makes eye contact with Bai Ye will react this way. There are no exceptions.

Especially for a young girl her age.

Sayu was still looking around, she glanced at her young mistress with such a strange expression and quickly turned her gaze to Bai Ye.

Then,

Her expression froze.

After a three-second pause, the young girl was the first to react.

Turning her gaze aside, and thinking about Bai Ye's height, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "It seems there's really no way for people in Liyue Harbor to grow taller."

Not growing taller!?

Bai Ye was already somewhat annoyed when he emerged from the cave. He had thought he could obtain another power, but after going inside, he discovered that it only contained the aura of Gods. It was almost a complete waste of time.

They even brought Hu Tao over to prepare for His funeral.

As soon as he came outside, he heard someone say that he wouldn't grow tall.

This is infuriating.

Bai Ye thought to himself, then looked toward the source of the sound.

Hmm? You made that Ruin Guard yourself.

And above these Ruin Guard is...

Keqing, Sayu, and Ayaka!?

It's normal for Keqing to be on top, but it's surprising to Bai Ye Juu that Ayaka and Sayu are on top.

How did those two end up up there?

The appearance of Inazuma in Liyue is already an extremely rare occurrence, but the fact that she is the young lady of the Inazuma family makes it even more surprising.

As for the comment about not growing tall, Bai Ye knew immediately that it was Sayu said it.

Well, we're in the same boat, let's just forget about this.

Aside from Acting Grand Master Jean, everyone in the Anemo is equally troubled. It seems I'll have to ask Venti again if he can help me out.

But how did those two get here from Inazuma? Bai Ye was planning to go to Inazuma next, so he was still curious about these two people who came here.

After taking a few more glances at Ayaka, he noticed a beauty completely different from Hu Tao and the others. She possessed the elegance and quiet grace of a young lady, combined with the charm of a young girl, and the gentle grace of Inazuma woman. Bai Ye even recalled her performance in the story.

It's no wonder so many people want Ayaka as their girlfriend.

"What's wrong?" Hu Tao, who had just come out, noticed Bai Ye had stopped moving and looked puzzled. What had he seen?

Then, she looked in the direction that Bai Ye was looking.

I saw Ayaka and Sayu again.

Just then, Ayaka came to her senses, her face still flushed. Hu Tao could tell at a glance what she had been thinking about.

She smiled and said to Bai Ye, "Oh my, it seems that even foreign girls can't resist my charm in the Guest Official."

She recruited Bai Ye as Guest Official of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, but Bai Ye hasn't agreed yet. So, the matter is considered half done, and Bai Ye is considered half Guest Official of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

She didn't care too much about other girls liking Bai Ye; in fact, she even considered it something to brag about. The only people who currently made her feel threatened were Shenhe and Xiangling, plus Hu Tao and Ganyu from the last operation at Guyun Domain. She didn't care about anyone else.

Although this foreign young lady is very beautiful, Hu Tao would never feel that she is inferior to others.

"Don't say that." Hearing Hu Tao's teasing, Bai Ye felt a little embarrassed. He quickly said to Hu Tao, "Let's see what this Inazuma wants to do here."

"Miss Nizo-no-Mae? How do you know her?"

Hu Tao asked curiously, while also paying a little attention.

Bai Ye thought for a moment and immediately explained, "Inazuma Sakoku Decree was issued, many Inazuma merchants are stranded in Liyue. I chatted with a few of them out of curiosity, and some of them had seen the eldest daughter of the Shinigami family and told me about her identity. Now that I see her, I naturally realize who she is."

"Oh, I see." Hu Tao nodded. Then, after thinking for a moment, she said to Bai Ye, "So, if we get along well with her, could we expand our business from Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to Inazuma?"

"If you want to, that's not impossible."

Bai Ye and Hu Tao approached the Ruin Guard.

During this process, Ayaka finally came to her senses. Seeing Bai Ye approaching, she quickly turned her gaze away, not daring to look at him again.

Ayaka had a feeling that if she continued watching, she would probably succumb to temptation and might even do something drastic. In fact, just now, Ayaka had an impulse to rush over and pin Bai Ye down.

Bai Ye approached the Ruin Guard and first beckoned to Keqing. Then, looking at Ayaka, he said:

"Miss Kamishiro, I never expected you to have come to Liyue."

Not looking at Bai Ye, Ayaka felt much more comfortable. Hearing Bai Ye's question, she immediately asked curiously, "Do you know me?"

"That's right, my guest Guest Official always knows everything," Hu Tao said in a boastful tone.

The two Guest Official are quite different. One is very clear about all the past events and can find any past books he wants in the first place. The other is very familiar with the people of the present and also knows about the future development of mechanical Art of Automata.

"That's how it is..."

Bai Ye repeated his explanation to Hu Tao. Hearing Bai Ye say this, Ayaka no longer concealed anything. She immediately jumped down from the Ruin Guard and greeted Bai Ye with the standard Inazuma aristocratic etiquette.

"Inazuma- shi, sister of the head of the Inazuma family, Shinji Ayaka, greets Bai Ye -senpai."

Welcome to Liyue.

Bai Ye nodded to Ayaka.

Keqing, who was standing on the Ruin Guard, jumped down as well. Now that Bai Ye had already revealed Shen Shi Ayaka's identity, she no longer needed to hide it.

After jumping down, she introduced herself, "My name is Keqing, and I am Yuheng, one of the Liyue Qixing."

"Ah!?" Ayaka covered her mouth in surprise. She was really lucky. She had met one of the leaders, Yuhang Star, as soon as she arrived in Liyue.

After the group revealed their identities, Keqing asked Ayaka curiously, "By the way, Miss Kagami, what brings you to Liyue Harbor? I heard that Inazuma is under lockdown? Did you sneak out?"

"No, no." Hearing Keqing's question, Ayaka quickly waved her hand. She looked at Bai Ye and said, "I came here to find Bai Ye, Bai Ye."

"Ah!?"

Hu Tao sensed a slight threat this time and immediately narrowed her eyes, preparing to carry Bai Ye away at any moment.

"Has my love for Inazuma reached Inazuma?"

Bai Ye asked Ayaka.

He initially told Kazuha about his abilities so that Kazuha could relay his information to Inazuma. Now it seems that Kazuha can get his message to Inazuma even faster than he could himself.

Now everyone in the Yashiro Commission knows that coming to Bai Ye is meant to let Raiden Shogun know the true extent of his abilities. Ultimately, the most proper way is for Raiden Shogun to personally invite him over.

Only by doing this could Bai Ye go to Raiden Ei to learn her doll-making techniques.

"Yes, that's right."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded.

"So, I came here to see if you, Mr. Bai Ye, have the ability to resolve the issue of the Inazuma shaman."

"So, what are your thoughts now?" Bai Ye asked Ayaka.

"I haven't seen the specifics of how to deal with the Archon Residue, so I can't be completely certain yet."

Ayaka honestly told Bai Ye.

"That's simple. We'll find a new Archon Residue, and I'll personally verify it for you then," Bai Ye said to Ayaka. At the same time, he took out a mechanism from his pocket.

"This is a recording device. I'll deal with the Archon Residue later, and you can use this to record them. Then we can take it back to Inazuma and have the others watch my actions."

Bai Ye handed it to Ayaka, who reached out and took it.

Their fingertips touched, and she immediately tried to pull her hand away. Bai Ye reacted quickly and firmly placed the camera in Ayaka's hand.

"You must take it."

"Uh-huh."

Ayaka could only feel her heart pounding.

Handsome and cute, talented and gentle, Ayaka couldn't find any fault with Bai Ye.

He was far more like the ideal boyfriend she had imagined from novels she read as a child.

And why does he have such a pleasant smell? It makes me feel so comfortable just standing next to him.

But...

Ayaka noticed that Hu Tao was looking at her, and immediately stopped thinking about it.

Temporarily withdrawn.

Her gaze fell on the mechanism in her hand, recalling the secret Bai Ye had told her.

This tiny mechanism can actually record diagrams.

"This organization is actually capable of doing such a thing."

"Well, I'm just an ordinary master of Art of Automata," Bai Ye said smugly.

It might sound exaggerated to others, but Ayaka felt that it was normal for Bai Ye to say that.

Bai Ye's Art of Automata are something Inazuma doesn't possess.

"Let's go to where the Archon Residue are."

Ayaka said to Bai Ye.

As she said this, she was about to place her Ruin Guard's palm again. However, Bai Ye stopped Ayaka.

"We won't bother with this now that we're going over there."

Bai Ye pointed to the car on one side.

It wasn't Spirit Vehicle.

Bai Ye has been traveling to many places lately, so he needs a car. Even if Hu Tao comes to see him, he can't just ride in a Spirit Vehicle.

So he and Ningguang asked for public funds to provide him with a car.

"Let's take that over there."

"That!?"

Ayaka looked at the iron box, somewhat puzzled.

How do I sit here?

Hu Tao got into the car.

Quickly, the car started and began to move in front of Ayaka and Sayu.

"How did you do that?"

"Sayu said in surprise."

"A little bit of Art of Automata is all."

Bai Ye answered Sayu. At the same time, he opened the car door and said to Ayaka and Sayu, "Come on, come on up and take a look."

Several people got into the car at the same time.

Hu Tao was driving, Bai Ye was in the passenger seat, and Ke Keqing Ayaka was in the back.

"With so many people, can they even move around?"

Sayu asked curiously.

Why don't you try it and see?

As Bai Ye said this, Hu Tao had already started to activate.

As Sayu looked around, the surrounding scenery seemed to recede into the distance.

She looked out the window and said in surprise:

"Wow! It really works. Although it can't keep up with my speed, it can still drive smoothly."

Sayu looked around with great curiosity.

Ayaka is similar.

As she passed through the Guili Plains, she saw similar vehicles. However, the backs of those vehicles had been converted into cargo boxes, which were loaded with goods.

Ayaka kept all of this in mind.

"It seems that I need to bring back Inazuma more than just a way to deal with the evil spirits."

She initially came to Liyue only to find a solution to the problem of the evil spirits, but it now seems that she possesses far more than just the ability to deal with evil spirits.

Developing Inazuma in the future and enabling Inazuma to catch up with Liyue's development is not simply about eliminating the evil spirits.

However, Ayaka felt uncertain whether the general would agree to such a thing.

The Shogun is quite averse to foreign things, and this novel mechanism is unlikely to please the Shogun.

She felt somewhat worried.

However, at that moment, a reassuring fragrance wafted over, Ayaka immediately felt her worries lessen.

Ayaka immediately sensed that the fragrance emanating from Bai Ye was a delicate scent.

The car itself is a small space, so the smell was even stronger.

Sayu unconsciously leaned back against the seat where Bai Ye was sitting.

"Sayu, I want to sleep..."

As she spoke these words, she drifted off to sleep.

Ayaka found herself wanting to lean on Bai Ye as well.

This made her feel incredibly ashamed.

As the eldest daughter of the Kamisato Clan, you must be mindful of the Kamisato Clan's etiquette. There are other people watching, so please don't embarrass yourself in front of them.

Ayaka is now hoping that the car will reach its destination before she loses her composure.
