How Did My Lips Accidentally Bump Into His?

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded, then swallowed the roasted meat in his mouth.

He wiped his mouth and asked Eula, "Tell me, is there something wrong with my thinking, or is there some doubt?"

Eula crossed her arms and said, "If it's just a whole group of the Lawrence Family coming here, I'd approve. But I don't know if you can guarantee us a normal life if the Lawrence Family is moved here?"

Whether or not I receive normal treatment is not up to me, but up to your Lawrence Family.

Bai Ye said earnestly to Eula.

"Liyue is a nation bound by contracts and commerce. Once a promise is made, it will never be changed. The only thing that can change the attitude of the people of Liyue is the attitude of your Lawrence Family."

"Um."

Eula nodded gently.

She continued, "I will try to persuade a member of the Lawrence Family. However, I would also like to obtain an official written endorsement from your Liyue."

Bai Ye frowned slightly upon hearing Eula's words. "We're not begging you to come and join us," he thought. Just as he was about to say something, Eula's next words dispelled Bai Ye's doubts.

"Of course, we are willing to invest in the construction of facilities in addition to purchasing houses."

Upon hearing about money, Bai Ye's mood instantly vanished.

If you mention money, this matter will be settled.

This isn't like Laesg saying he wants to buy a house; those houses, once Laesg invests, would all belong to the Lawrence Family. The funds Eula provides are for investment in infrastructure, which is a complete investment, and the ownership doesn't belong to the Lawrence Family.

Although it wasn't directly given to him by Mora, who is Guili?

Isn't it just me and my teacher?

If you fund the construction of infrastructure, doesn't that mean I'm contributing less?

I won, I'm so excited!

Then, Bai Ye asked Eula, "So, we don't need to write your Lawrence Family name on it later, right?"

It's not that we can't sign our names, but the Lawrence Family name is the only exception. What happened in Mondstadt is still fresh in our minds; what if Lawrence does the same thing again?

Kill them all.

Eula shook her head. "No need. Not only will I not tell, I will also find a way to cover it up. Tell those people that we have made no contribution to Guiliya, and if they are not honest, they will only end up in a more miserable state than they did in Mondstadt."

"Humanity is clear-headed."

Bai Ye praised Eula.

"Hmph, your flattery won't make me forgive your expression just now. I could tell you were worried about the Lawrence Family, and I'll remember that grudge."

Eula said haughtily.

"Whatever you want."

Bai Ye indicated that she didn't care.

"Hmph, with your attitude, I'll make another grudge against you."

Eula said again.

Bai Ye smiled without saying a word.

After laughing a few times, he still said to Eula, "By the way, is the Lawrence Family really that rich? You can afford to invest so much money in infrastructure all by yourself?"

The Lawrence Family is just an old noble family, and in fact, they have been deprived of power in Mondstadt for a long time. At that time, Mondstadt was most famous for its brewing industry, but the Lawrence Family did not get involved much. Eula is not the head of the Lawrence Family. Can she decide to allocate so much money on her own?

"I know how to handle this matter."

Eula didn't tell anyone the news.

Bai Ye said to Eula, "Then I wish you all your dreams come true."

"Um."

Eula nodded.

"Maybe I'll go to Mondstadt again sometime, and then I'll see how you operate it."

"You're going to Mondstadt?"

Eula was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, there are still Archon Residue in Mondstadt. I will absorb all those remnants sooner or later to prevent them from polluting Mondstadt."

"Then you'd better hurry up, or I'll already be here with my men by the time you get here."

"Then I'll just say I welcome you to Liyue from Guili."

"I will not join Liyue."

Eula shook her head.

"No matter how hard I try, it's impossible for all the Lawrence Family in Mondstadt to come to Liyue. Moreover, some Lawrence Family members' views absolutely cannot be changed, and we cannot let them come back to harm Liyue. I will stay in Mondstadt. I believe in my strength and that I can use my great reputation to change the views of some people in Mondstadt."

Bai Ye looked at Eula, pondered for a moment, and said to her, "This opportunity may not be too far away after all."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Eula looked at Bai Ye with a puzzled expression.

"Is there some danger threatening Mondstadt? Or are you going to give me the credit for dealing with the Archon Residue? I don't want that."

"You've misunderstood me. I'll remember this grudge."

Bai Ye glanced at Eula and said.

"You mimic my speech, and I'll make a note of it."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Bai Ye then said with a serious expression, "The threat of the Abyss is getting closer and closer, even more profound than the disaster that struck Khaenri'ah five hundred years ago. This is not just an enemy that a single country will face, but a problem that the entire continent will face. At that time, many heroic figures will surely emerge."

"Um."

Eula nodded.

Xiangling then picked up two pieces of roasted meat and handed one to each of Eula and Bai Ye: "Eula, have a taste. I recently developed a new roasted meat technique, incorporating immortal Adeptal Art during the roasting process. I wonder if you like it. By the way, Bai Ye, you should try it too. I made some improvements."

Eula picked up the grilled meat and put it in her mouth, her eyes lighting up immediately.

"Not bad, really delicious."

She said it instinctively.

However, after saying that, she immediately felt that she had acted somewhat awkwardly.

"Hmm, you actually used this flavor to make me lose my composure, I have to remember this grudge."

"Uh-huh."

Xiangling nodded.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye ate the grilled meat, his expression slightly surprised.

The taste of this grilled meat hasn't changed at all?

Did Xiangling's experiment fail?

He opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

If I say it, I'm worried Xiangling will lose face; but if I don't say it, it's not right for Xiangling to revise the recipe.

Not far away, Guoba looked at Bai Ye's expression and smiled slightly.

Great.

Xiangling cleverly masked the presence of other seasonings during the grilling process with her cooking techniques. If this seasoning was successful, wouldn't it be easier to add other ingredients next time without being detected?

"Old friend, you seem to be in a good mood?"

Zhongli then appeared beside Guoba and spoke to him.

Upon hearing Zhongli's question, Guoba instantly transformed into a bear and began breathing fire forward.

I don't know anything, I'm just a little fire-breathing Guoba.

Seeing his old friend pretending to be stupid, Zhongli could only shake his head.

He changed the subject and asked, "Old friend, how much of your memory have you recovered?"

"It's still not quite there, or rather, when I look at my memories now, it's like looking at a book. I can find them, but it still doesn't feel like it's really me."

Guoba said to Zhongli,

"Um..."

Zhongli nodded.

Guoba crossed his arms, pondered for a moment, and said to Zhongli, "I feel like I'm still a little short, just a little short of being able to merge all the memories together."

"That last bit..." Zhongli pondered for a moment, then said to Guoba, "Perhaps it lies in that old friend."

Guoba nodded, though he still seemed a little hesitant.

"My memory hasn't fully returned yet, is it appropriate for me to meet him?"

At this moment, Guizhong's soul drifted over, and hearing the glutinous Guoba hesitate, he immediately smiled and said:

"Compared to my soul state, aren't you much more miserable?"

Guizhong smiled, his eyes narrowing. He glanced at Bai Ye, who was still talking to Xiang Ling and Xiangling Eula and hadn't noticed them, then looked at Guo Guoba, his lips curving upwards.

"I saw your expression just now. You actually wanted to scheme against my lovely little apprentice, then please..."

"Increase the force!"

Zhongli: "..."

Guoba: "..."

Then, Guoba quietly said, "Although it seems absurd, I can understand it if it's about Guizhong."

Zhongli nodded in agreement.

Just then, the sounds of fighting rang out.

Zhongli turned his head and saw that Madame Ping and Hu Tao were fighting.

It's not accurate to call it a fight; it's more appropriate to call it a guide.

Guchen instructed Hu Tao on how to use the long spear.

Zhongli was naturally very concerned about the children he was looking after his daughter, so he walked over there.

Not only Zhongli, Bai Ye was also attracted by the sound of fighting, and the group formed a circle around him.

Hu Tao continued her attacks, while Guchen defended and gave her guidance.

"Yes, don't hesitate to use the tip of the spear."

"The speed can be even faster."

"Raise this move a little higher."

"..."

Guchen was not only stronger than La Signora Rosalyn, but also far Rosalyn in teaching. She directed the attack while simultaneously catching Hu Tao's spear.

Seeing that everyone had come over, Guchen looked at Xiang Xiangling and the others.

"Xiangling, Yanfei, Inazuma and the two little girls from Mondstadt, all of you come at me together. Hmm... Shenhe, you come too, but Golden Winged Roc, let's team up, otherwise I might not be able to handle so many women."

Xiao nodded and instantly appeared beside the Madame Ping.

"Ah, then Master, prepare to receive my spear technique."

Xiangling raised her spear from her waist and joined the battle.

Yanfei began unleashing a fire elemental attack from afar, while Ayaka also drew her longsword, which, imbued with an icy aura, attacked amidst Xiangling and Hu Tao.

"Snort."

Eula, then picked up her greatsword and went up.

As for Shenhe, she had long since silently joined forces with him.

It then launched a series of attacks on the Xiao.

When Xiao saw Shenhe coming, he didn't dare to meet him head-on, but instead used his body movement technique to dodge.

Six people: Yanfei, Hu Tao, and Xiangling are fire; Shenhe Eula are ice.

The contrast between ice and fire was truly astounding.

"Me too!"

Bai Ye was also somewhat eager to try.

However, Guchen immediately rolled his eyes at Bai Ye.

They wouldn't let him join at all.

You're teaming up with someone? I struggle even fighting you one-on-one, so teaming up with someone would be embarrassing for an old woman like me, wouldn't it?

Bai Ye's current strength and abilities surpass those of Madame Ping. If a real fight were to break out, Ge Chen Lang Shi Guchen's only advantage would be his combat experience. If he were any stronger, even with my extensive combat experience, I wouldn't stand a chance.

Combat experience is only useful when the strength of both sides is similar. If the strength difference is too large, then combat experience will not be of any use.

Bai Ye had no choice but to watch the show from the sidelines.

Just as he was looking at him like that, Zhongli said from the side, "If you want to have a match, I can practice with you."

Bai Ye quickly waved his hand.

I don't want to be abused.

"At least until I have the combat power of a high-level Gods."

Bai Ye said sincerely.

Guizhong agreed, "Yes, that's right. When my Little Bai Ye has my strength, then he can fight you."

Zhongli Guoba and Qiqi watched as their mother Guizhong.

Don't you have any self-awareness?

At this moment, the battle reached its most intense stage.

Xiao's movements were restricted by the ice from Shenhe Ayaka and Eula, making her agile movements very inconvenient; on the other side, Guchen was also being struck by two spears with flames, while Yanfei Fei was releasing flames.

Seeing that it was about time, Guchen swung his spear tip to parry Hu Tao and Xiangling's spears.

She said with satisfaction:

"Not bad, it seems your current strength really hasn't disappointed this old woman. With the three of you working together, unless you go all out, I'll have a hard time escaping your attacks. I'm getting old, getting old..."

Seeing her say that, Yanfei laughed and said, "Master, the way you put it, it's not convincing at all!"

"Yeah yeah."

Xiangling nodded.

"You are also very strong."

Xiao looked at Shenhe and the others and spoke.

Guchen manages to escape even with a deadly attack, Xiao, judging by his own assessment, will likely only perish with Shenhe's help.

Having been constantly engaged in combat, Hu Tao was now drenched in sweat. She put her gun away.

"It was really fun."

She walked to Bai Ye's side.

"How was my marksmanship? Pretty cool, right?"

"Yeah, he's very handsome."

Bai Ye nodded earnestly.

At this moment, Hu Tao's cheeks were flushed, and she really looked like someone was going to take a bite out of her.

Looking at the Hu Tao, Bai Ye suddenly had this thought.

Hu Tao, exhausted yet excited, looked at Bai Ye and immediately recalled her earlier thoughts.

That handsome face makes me want to take a big bite out of it.

The two glanced at each other, then their eyes immediately looked away again.

They all felt a little guilty.

Even though they both know what the other is thinking, and they both know that their first kiss is long gone, they still feel awkward.

Zhongli frowned as he watched.

He pointed behind Hu Tao.

"Donnie, look behind you..."

Hu Tao looked behind her.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhongli gently nudged Bai Ye, and at the same time blocked Guoba from stepping forward.

His strike wasn't very powerful, but Bai Ye lost his balance and rushed towards Hu Tao in one step.

A few meters away, Xiao stared at Zhongli's actions, his eyes widening in surprise.

The Geo Archon's actions must be...

They have their own ideas.

He hesitated for a moment, but quickly regained his unwavering faith in the Geo Archon.

Meanwhile, when Hu Tao saw Bai Ye coming up, she immediately turned her head.

Huh? How could I be so careless?

The lips bumped against his lips.
