Bai Ye, Go Charm Her!

Barbatos was like a gust of wind; Zhongli felt that if he didn't grab a strong cloak for him first, he might go somewhere else.

Zhongli Li said to Hu Tao Taoyu, "Tang, the Archon Residue are not far ahead. Should we rest here for a while before heading over there?"

"Hmm." Hu Tao nodded, then turned to Bai Ye, Xiao, and the others and asked, "Bai Ye, Immortal Xiao, how are you feeling?"

"It's necessary to get some rest before setting off."

Bai Ye had no objections.

"This is very necessary."

Xiao naturally wouldn't object.

So everyone gathered around the vehicle, lit a campfire, and began a picnic.

Zhongli quietly left the group to find Venti.

Venti was still lazily lying on the caravan's wagon when she noticed Zhongli walking towards her, and immediately jumped off the wagon.

"Sir, you can go ahead now. I ran into a friend and I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, kid, be careful."

"Don't worry, please take care of yourself. May the Anemo Archon protect you."

"Haha, this is Liyue, so I'm probably hoping the Rex Lapis will bless me to earn more Mora."

"That's true!"

After saying goodbye to the goods, Venti ran up to Zhongli.

"Grandpa, what brings you here?" Venti asked Zhongli, scratching the back of her head.

Although I came here to observe Bai Ye, I don't believe I would have any ill intentions towards him.

"You're aware of Bai Ye's situation, aren't you?" Zhongli paused for a moment, then said to Venti.

"Um..." Venti was about to try to make an excuse, but when she saw Zhongli's scrutinizing gaze, she immediately stopped smiling. "After Albedo went back, I knew clearly that the problem with the Abyss had been eliminated from him. So, I rushed over to check on the situation. Bai Ye, is he really the natural enemy of the Abyss?"

"That's right."

Zhongli gave Venti an affirmative answer.

Seeing Zhongli's affirmative answer, Venti was silent for a moment, then laughed.

"Then we must protect him well. As for me, I'd like to be a bard for a few more days."

Although he was indifferent to life and death, he was prepared to give his life if necessary. However, if possible, he would not want such a thing to happen.

"Yes, we need to protect him properly," Zhongli nodded.

"No, Grandpa, what do you mean?" Venti had a bad feeling when she heard Zhongli say that.

Are you suggesting we make him work?

No!!!

Zhongli said to Venti, "Next, Bai Ye might be going to Inazuma. I hope that during his trip to Inazuma, you will protect him from behind."

"Protect him!? And you want me to go to Inazuma to protect him? I don't want to face that woman, Beelzebul." Venti quickly waved her hand.

"It's more appropriate for you, sir, to handle this matter personally."

He did hold back when he met the Fatui [La Signora]. His strength was quite good among the Seven Archons, but his power wasn't for full combat. In a head-on fight with Beelzebul, he would most likely lose.

"Generally speaking, since they know about Bai Ye's abilities, Beelzebul wouldn't dare to be hostile towards him. You protect Bai Ye, and at the same time, pass this message on to Beelzebul."

"Huh? Not only do I have to be a bodyguard, but also a messenger?"

Upon hearing that he would have to do even more work, Venti immediately felt ashamed of himself for being so stubborn and insisting on coming to Liyue to verify the situation.

"If you want something in return, you always have to give something in return, right?"

Zhongli countered with a question.

"Alright, alright, I'll go deliver the message."

"Um."

"Oh, right, Grandpa, there's something else I need your help with." Seeing Zhongli about to leave, Venti quickly stopped him.

"What is it?"

"Um, I don't seem to have any money on hand. Old man, could you lend me some Mora so I can buy a few bottles of wine?" Venti said shamelessly to Zhongli Liyu.

"Hmm." Zhongli nodded, then reached into his pocket and rummaged around several times. Finally, he said sincerely, "I don't have a single Mora in my pocket either."

"Um..." Venti paused for a moment, then asked Zhongli again, "Can I sign the bill for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor? Then the bill will be settled with the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

Zhongli realized that she had overestimated Venti's integrity by a great deal.

I'll think about it and agree.

Right now, by the campfire, Bai Ye and Hu Tao were roasting meat. At that moment, Bai Ye sneezed.

"Bai Ye, what's wrong with you? Have you caught a cold?"

Seeing Bai Ye sneeze, Hu Tao asked Yu with concern.

"No, I always feel like my property has been damaged."

Bai Ye waved his hand and said, "..."

He's an extremely stingy Bounty Hunter; if anyone dares to touch his money, he'll react immediately.

However, I was puzzled. I had been taking good care of my money, so why did I feel like I was losing money?

Where on my property was damaged?

He sneezed a few more times, Zhongli turned back at that moment.

"You've taken care of everything over there, right? We'll head out right away once we've finished eating here," Hu Tao said to Zhongli Li while squatting down to grill the meat.

"Um."

After everyone finished eating, they set off for the place where the Archon Residue were located.

"Um, Mr. Bai Ye, what should we be careful about when facing the Archon Residue?"

Standing at the entrance to the cave Archon Residue, Ayaka asked Bai Ye a question. Beside her, Hayato, who had already Sayu up, held a greatsword in her hand, looking serious.

This was her first time dealing with the Archon Residue, Ayaka felt both apprehensive and full of anticipation.

I'm really curious about how to deal with the Archon Residue.

"There's nothing to worry about," Bai Ye reassured her when Ayaka asked. "We'll just encounter some monsters at first, and we'll be fine once we take care of them all. As for the Archon Residue, we'll deal with that later."

"Yes." Kamisato Ayaka nodded.

Subsequently,

The group rushed inside.

Upon entering the cave, the first thing you see is a long, deep cavern where you can't see your hand in front of your face.

Xiao walks at the very front.

On the surface, he is the strongest among this group, and he also has extremely rich experience in fighting enemies.

Soon,

The little demon at the very front saw the light.

"There are an unusually large number of monsters here. Be prepared for battle."

Xiao said to the crowd.

Before him stood hordes of demons.

Xiao sensed something was wrong with these monsters.

But then I thought about it again, how many of those demons affected by the Gods's Ruins were normal?

These monsters had glazed eyes, and even when Xiao walked up to them, few of them reacted.

Perfect, this will make it easier for me to deal with these monsters.

Behind Xiao, upon hearing his words, Bai Ye and the others silently took out their weapons.

Xiao Keqing out first, followed closely by Hu Tao and Keisei. Sayu used the Anemo Element and flew over the heads of the group in a ninja-like manner. Ayaka and Bai Ye followed behind, picking up their weapons and going up.

As for that old man at the end...

He strolled leisurely, showing absolutely no sign of tension.

He even went so far as to investigate which Archon Residue Gods actually came from.

In Guili Plains, many Gods had already perished before Zhongli arrived here. Before seeing the Archon Residue, he could not be sure who these fallen Gods were.

"Snort!"

Seeing the monsters, Xiao rushed into them, and with a stomp of his feet Anemo Element immediately erupted, gathering the monsters together.

During this process, the monsters did not react at all, allowing Xiao to roll them up.

Hu Tao and Keqing naturally wouldn't waste this opportunity; their spear and sword flew together, flames and lightning intertwined. As the Anemo Element spread, the fire and Electro reacted violently.

There was a bunch of monsters nearby, Ayaka her sword, unleashing a barrage of Cryo. Sayu, carrying Anemo Element, rolled among the monsters, allowing the Cryo to spread among them.

Bai Ye didn't rush to deal with the monsters, but instead carefully observed their condition.

"What exactly are the powers of this Gods?"

He pondered in his mind.

Quickly, a large number of the monsters in front of Bai Ye and the others were wiped out. The remaining monsters finally reacted and charged towards Bai Ye, brandishing their weapons.

At this moment, the eyes of these monsters were filled with the red of blood, seemingly because Xiao and the others' actions had disturbed them, making them extremely angry.

Before they realized what was happening, they ignored Xiao and the others. Now that they did, they looked at Xiao and the others as if they were their father's killers.

"These guys."

Xiao frowned, a mask appearing on his face, and swung his spear, knocking down a group of demons in front of him.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you all so angry?!"

The monsters, who had been attacking indiscriminately, suddenly changed their attitude and began attacking her directly, causing her to become somewhat flustered. However, given the vast difference in strength between the two sides, and having learned a lot of combat experience from Rosalyn, Hu Tao quickly reacted and turned the tables, killing the monsters in the process.

"Ah!"

Ayaka was easily slashing at the monster when it suddenly attacked, and she almost got pierced by the spikes on the baby Geovishap.

At that moment, Ayaka looked over and saw Bai Ye holding Handheld Crossbow, shooting an arrow that pierced through the young Geovishap.

Subsequently,

A row of Handheld Crossbow appeared in Bai Ye's hand, and with a wave of his hand, a series of crossbow bolts were fired at the monsters.

The monsters were instantly riddled with bullets.

Zhongli continued drinking his tea.

Everyone else can handle this now, so he doesn't need to lift a finger.

The monsters will be dealt with quickly.

"Be careful, or you'll regret it."

After Xiao knocked the last Hilichurl away, he addressed the others.

"Um."

This was the first time Ayaka had faced such an unusual monster, so she was even more cautious.

"We won't end up like these monsters, will we?"

She asked Bai Ye with some concern.

Seeing Ayaka's worry, Bai Ye smiled and comforted her:

"No problem, with me here, even if there is the influence of the Gods, nothing will happen."

"Uh-huh."

Hearing Bai Ye Ayaka felt relieved.

"The influence of the Gods will not be there, but other influences are becoming increasingly apparent."

Keqing listened from the side, muttering to herself.

Women should prioritize their careers; aren't bricks, stones, and tiles more beautiful than the Bai Ye?

She could only say these words to herself. If she were to say them directly to someone else, Hu Tao might say, "You can look at bricks and tiles as you please, but would you dare to stare at Bai Ye like that?"

Continue exploring.

The number of monsters is increasing.

They were affected in exactly the same way as the monsters before them, first becoming dazed and then turning into a frenzied state.

"It's like having a beautiful dream interrupted."

Bai Ye commented in his mind as he attacked.

The temptation to let monsters indulge in sweet dreams is indeed quite strong.

Xiao looked at the island in front of him and spoke to the group.

"That's the last island ahead. We'll see what kind of Gods it is soon."

Xiao's expression was slightly solemn.

As he said this, he then looked at Zhongli. Seeing that Zhongli's expression did not change, he felt slightly relieved.

Even so, he still said to Bai Ye and the others:

"There might be some danger ahead. I'll go and see what powers this Gods god possesses."

Just as he was about to act, Zhongli spoke up:

"You can go and take a look together. Perhaps, this Gods power might have some benefits for you."

"Um!?"

Everyone was surprised to hear Zhongli say this.

"I understand." Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Xiao didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately ran towards the last island.

"Let's go." Hu Tao grabbed Bai Ye's hand and ran towards the island.

She also had unwavering faith in Zhongli.

Keqing and Ayaka looked at each other and ran inside as well.

Sayu followed closely behind to protect her young mistress Miss Ayaka.

As Bai Ye followed Hu Tao Taoqi, he didn't forget to look back at Zhongli. Looking at Zhongli, he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you coming?"

"You can handle these situations yourselves."

Zhongli politely declined.

"I don't want to fight against the Gods Asmodeus. Besides, I don't want to see my master in such a sorry state."

Seeing Bai Ye and the others enter the last island, he immediately used a sound transmission method to send his voice towards Bai Ye.

Upon arriving at the last island, Bai Ye felt waves of pink fragrance wash over her.

"What's this..."

Sensing the aura, Bai Ye instantly felt something was wrong.

Will this affect my mood?

He hadn't made up his mind yet, and at that moment, Hu Tao's movements stopped.

His expression was a half-smile, and he was completely lost in the same daze as the monster he had just been looking at.

Then, looking at the others, whether it was Xiao who rushed in first, or Ayaka, Sayu, and Keqing who rushed in later, they were all caught in the same confused emotions as the Hilichurl.

What's wrong?

Bai Ye was somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, Bai Ye noticed that Hu Tao's face was flushed.

He was muttering to himself.

Bai Ye came to Hu Tao's side and heard clearly what Hu Tao was muttering to herself.

"As ordinary friends, you have to help me since there's no one to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

"Don't run..."

"I will be very gentle."

"Hehe, caught you. There are five main members in this hall, and one of them is sure to be able to inherit the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's business."

"Innocence, we should be completely innocent..."

Bai Ye's lips twitched slightly as he listened.

I have a feeling that Hu Tao is having a bad dream about herself.

At this moment, Zhongli's voice transmission rang in Bai Ye's ear.

"The Gods we are about to face is Asmodeus. She is Gods who can arouse the desires of others. If you enter into this realm, you will inevitably face your own desires."

It's mostly just a dream.

Bai Ye recalled that this Gods was also the embodiment of 'lust'.

At this moment, he understood why those monsters were so angry.

If you were having a wet dream and someone suddenly woke you up, you'd probably want to kill them.

Bai Ye sensed something was wrong and quickly asked Zhongli:

"Why am I completely unaffected? And how should I handle this situation?"

"Because of your physical condition, she can't seduce you at all. What you need to do now is find what's left of her body."

Zhongli's voice came again.

"Quickly, seduce her!"

"Um??????"

Bai Ye was listening attentively to the first half of the story, but was completely taken aback when he heard the second half.

"You want me to seduce Asmodeus?"

Who exactly is the succubus?!
