Venti: Traveler, Go Find Bai Ye!

Bai Ye brought out all the Gods powers that he hadn't used yet.

First, there's Asmodeus, who controls the power of desire; then there's Osial, the Gods with the deep-sea vortex; the giant serpent Orobas; and then there's the power of Makoto Raiden Ei.

It is worth mentioning that the power represented by Orobas is the premonition of crisis, the foresight of the past and the future. It is precisely for this reason that Orobas was able to foresee the ending of "The Tale of the Sun and Moon" and take the best approach to protect the majority.

Bai Ye Yeyao, having foreseen this, wanted to glimpse her vague future. However, this prediction proved utterly useless. But it did have another use: it could provide her with a sense of awareness during battle.

That is, Saber's 'feeling of ghosts'.

It is very effective when dealing with enemies.

Bai Ye began to carefully select the composition of the powers.

"Which one do you think I should use as the main bone of this mechanical arm?"

Bai Ye looked at these powers and asked Ying a question.

"It's from Orobas, right?"

Ying thought for a moment and then spoke to Bai Ye.

Upon hearing Ying's words, Orobas was intently observing the jade pendant, revealed a happy expression.

See? Beelzebul understands me best. He knows that although I failed in the Archon War, it was because the opponents I faced were too strong. First Morax, and then you. If it had happened anywhere else, I might have been finished.

I am still very strong.

However, before Orobas could even enjoy his happiness for three seconds, Ying said to Bai Ye, "Its strength is quite weak, and its remains are here, which is perfect for combining them. I'm not sure I could be confident if it were someone else."

"I..."

Orobas wanted to swear.

However, he stopped halfway through shouting his insults.

If Beelzebul heard this, would he be in a good mood? Then he thought about the remaining Gods: one was right behind him, and another was next door. Each of them was more powerful than the last; Orobas realized he couldn't afford to offend any of them.

Alright, I'll use my own corpse then. That way, I can at least feel a sense of participation.

"Yes, that's what I think too."

Bai Ye nodded in agreement with Raiden Ei's idea. When it came to the Gods, the Gods himself knew more about it than he did.

"In that case, let's begin our cooperation."

Bai Ye picked up the other arm.

Zhongli's power - activation.

He began to analyze and construct.

Meanwhile, Shadow began forging weapons.

The two of them worked together to fix this mechanism.

Liyue Harbor, a port city.

A merchant on the dock kept Zhongli Li.

"Mr. Zhongli, it's fortunate that you have good eyesight, otherwise our goods would have been fooled."

"It was just a coincidence. There are many goods coming and going in Liyue Harbor, and it's inevitable that some people will break contracts and pass off inferior goods as superior ones."

"Yes, we have no choice but to report these to the General Ministry of Civil Affairs. Unfortunately, for some reason, their enthusiasm has been much lower than before. Sigh... I don't mean to complain about being poor; I will send the due payment to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor- ya."

"Um..."

Zhongli nodded noncommittally.

He certainly understood why the Ministry of Civil Affairs had been rather lethargic lately. When Bai Ye was around, he had led many people into a state of intense competition, but then Bai Ye quietly went off to hunt for Inazuma. Naturally, the Bounty Hunter relaxed, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs was no exception; finally, the infighting had stopped, and they were exhausted too.

Just as he was pondering this, a commotion arose from the dock. Zhongli looked closely and saw the 'boy' wearing a green hat running towards them.

Behind him, several sailors were chasing after him.

"Kid, hurry up and come back with us."

"You not only ran away on your own, but you also stole a few bottles of our wine."

"What do you mean by 'smooth sailing'? I've put all the money I earned working at sea into that place."

"You think you're in the right to take it without suing?"

"Hey-hey..."

Venti's speed increased even more, and she disappeared from the sailors' sight in a few turns.

If the sailors tried to give chase again, they would never find it.

Where did this person go?

"Forget it, forget it, at least this guy left the money behind."

"Sigh, I just don't know how to explain this to my older sister later."

Seeing this, Zhongli smiled and walked in the direction Venti had mentioned escaping from.

He soon found Venti in a small alley.

At that moment, Venti was holding a bottle of wine, patting her chest in shock.

"That was close, that was close, we almost got caught by the sailors." After saying that, Venti looked at the drink in his hand and chuckled, "But I got the drink, so it was worth it."

"Is this wine really that good?"

Zhongli's voice rang in Venti's ears.

Upon hearing Zhongli's voice, Venti was startled. She first glanced to her left and right before looking behind her.

"Old man, you scared me to death."

Venti said to Zhongli.

"It's really good."

Zhongli walked over and took the wine from Venti's hand, along with a glass. He poured the wine into the glass Zhongli took a small sip.

"This wine is indeed excellent; it evokes a sense of vastness and grandeur, like the deep ocean."

This is his assessment.

"That's right, otherwise I would have wasted so much time."

Venti said with a smile.

As he said this, he took the bottle of wine from Zhongli's hand and began to gulp it down.

Zhongli looked at Venti and asked, "By the way, how did you end up back with the Northland Bank? I thought you would return with Bai Ye."

Without questioning him, Zhongli knew perfectly well that although Venti seemed unreliable, he was indeed a responsible and conscientious person. Therefore, his early return must have been because he had found someone who could better protect Bai Ye.

"It's simple, because I don't need to protect Bai Ye anymore," Venti said with a smile. "Now, Beelzebul considers Bai Ye to be the second most important person besides her sister. Anyone who dares to hurt him will probably get a taste of her own medicine."

"What exactly did he do?"

Zhongli was also somewhat surprised.

"Could it be that Beelzebul would also... if he saw him..."

He frowned slightly. If even Beelzebul couldn't resist this charm, then others would be even less able to resist.

The pressure on the hall master is immense.

Moreover, Zhongli was also worried that Bai Ye would be seduced by those temptations. On a small scale, it would delay the time for Guizhong's resurrection; on a larger scale, the Abyss could come back at any time, and if Bai Ye delayed this, the entire Teyvat might be in trouble.

He himself will probably be the first to be affected.

Zhongli wanted to know more about Bai Ye's situation in Inazuma. If he was too dissolute, she would have to put him through more training after he returned to Liyue.

In addition, Mondstadt is absolutely not to be defeated.

Barbatos only watched for a short while before letting him do this. If he were to take over his territory, how many problems would he cause?

Fortunately, Venti's words dispelled Zhongli's idea.

"Yes, that's right. Even the Seven Archons can't resist its charm," Venti said with a shrug.

Unfortunately, I didn't see the situation where Heavenly Principles maintained his relationship with Yoru and Bai Ye, otherwise I think it would have been quite entertaining.

He could only look at the news; he wouldn't dare utter a single word about it, not even for Istaroth.

However, he quickly explained, "But because Bai Ye doesn't affect one's mind, Beelzebul was quite resistant at first."

"So what happened next?"

"Well, Bai Ye resurrected Makoto. Oh, and also resurrected her sisters, the fox clan comrades and the Oni comrades. Incidentally, she also resolved the long-standing rivalry between Inazuma and the Oni clan."

Venti said it casually.

"..."

Zhongli discovered that the love and affection that Bai Ye Inazuma had done was no less than that of Liyue.

It can be called legendary.

Even with Bai Ye's special physical condition, achieving these things would still require a great deal of effort.

Afterwards, he listened to Venti say that Bai Ye had instructed the Lady Guuji, the samurai spirits, Miyoshi Chiyo, and the Watatsumi Island army to prepare for the battle against the Abyss, and he nodded in approval.

Bai Ye still hadn't forgotten.

He knew what he should do.

That's good.

Zhongli was relieved.

"Grandpa, I did a good job this time, didn't I? When would you like to send Xiao Bai Ye to Mondstadt?" Venti asked Zhongli.

It's so comfortable being with Bai Ye. Whenever he walks down the street, lots of girls want to pursue him. Then, just walking with him and selling information will be enough to pay for his drinks.

"When the time is right, it will happen naturally."

Zhongli saw that Venti's eyes were not pure and immediately said something.

"I feel like I'm going to be dragged along by you again, Grandpa," Venti said with a bitter face.

Just as the two were chatting, a blonde girl rushed over with a floating Emergency Food.

"Hey, that unscrupulous merchant has escaped. It's a pity. If we had caught him, we could have gone to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to collect the reward."

Paimon said regretfully.

Ying nodded.

Venti and Zhongli exchanged a glance when they saw this.

"She's that outsider, right? And she's also that little sister from the Abyss Order, isn't she?"

"Yes."

Venti nodded gently.

He immediately reassured Zhongli, "But don't worry, I've met her, and she herself has no problems. In fact, when Dvalin was attacked, she was the one who helped clean up the filth."

Unlike the complete disappearance of the Bai Ye Cleanup, the Night Cleanup only moved the Night Cleanup site out.

Her ability to withstand and absorb is completely different from that of Bai Ye.

"Um."

Zhongli nodded slightly.

When Ying saw Venti, Paimon exclaimed in surprise, "Singer, what brings you to Liyue?"

"Well, isn't it normal for a bard to appear in various countries?" Venti said with a grin.

"I've just made a new friend in Liyue, so we're thinking of having a drink together. Why don't you come along?"

Venti and Zhongli exchanged a glance.

Okay, now I have money for lunch.

"Great! Great! It's so good to have something delicious to eat!"

Paimon clapped his hands happily.

Ying nodded slightly.

Because of Bai Ye Hu Tao, Hotaru also knows Zhongli. However, she's not very familiar with Kou.

The group set off together towards the Third-Round Knockout Port.

Upon arriving at 'Third-Round Knockout', Zhongli ordered several dishes.

While waiting for the food, Venti smiled and asked Ying, "By the way, how have things been in Liyue these past few days? Is the relationship progressing smoothly?"

No, absolutely not.

Ying and Lu Yi seemed somewhat dejected.

Ningguang was still willing to let them stay at the Jade Chamber, but Ying and the others didn't want to eat the local food, so they temporarily stayed in Liyue Harbor after leaving the Jade Chamber. They continued to gather information while accepting various Adventurers' Guild requests.

Unfortunately, at this time, Ningguang, Ganyu, and Keqing of Liyue were all busy with Guili Plains. Therefore, Ying had absolutely no clue as to how to find out anything.

Venti laughed and said, "You guys are really unlucky. I went to Bai Ye with Inazuma. I saw Raiden Shogun quite a few times there."

Bai Ye!?

Upon hearing Venti's words, Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance.

"When will he arrive that Bai Ye?"

"It will be here soon."

Zhongli said softly.

"I see..."

Ying nodded gently.

Then the dishes were served, and the group enjoyed a good meal.

After finishing their meal, Venti and Zhongli were able to eat and drink without any problems.

Watching Ying and Paimon leave, Zhongli looked at Venti.

"Are you planning to get that guy from the Abyss Order to take notice of Bai Ye?"

"Yes, sooner or later the Abyss Order will find out. He is an enemy of Heavenly Principles Principle. Perhaps he has his reasons, but with Bai Ye around, we will definitely not be on his side. He is not completely integrated with the Abyss, and Bai Ye's abilities cannot be completely suppressed. If we don't see the battle between us now, Bai Ye will definitely appear."

"So you're planning to lure the enemy in?"

"Yes, his own sister, Wantian, is always with the person who is closest to Heavenly Principles and the person who is most hostile to Abyss. What kind of expression would he have?"

Venti is a fun person.

It always has been.

"And you also want to protect that girl, right? With Bai Ye by your side, her safety is guaranteed."

"Hey~"

Venti didn't argue, she just smiled.

Amakumo Peak.

The place where Electro Hypostasis.

He walked across the land in mid-air at Bai Ye.

Watching the Electro Hypostasis floating in the sky, Bai Ye silently manipulated the two pairs of mechanical arms behind him.

"What, Kapachiri, how did you change like this?"

When the child Aru, who was standing next to Bai Ye, saw Electro Hypostasis this state, her face showed shock.
