Dori: Ningguang, You Shotacon!
Bai Ye and Ningguang set off, and before they even reached the border, she saw someone on the road who seemed to be waiting for them.
From a distance, it appeared to be a petite pink-haired girl with several burly guards looking around.
It was Dori here with her men.
Ningguang looked slightly surprised when she saw Dori appear.
"She was even faster than I expected. It seems she really is smart."
She told the driver to stop the car and spoke to Bai Ye.
"Hmm, in the entire Teyvat, besides Ningguang and [The Rich] Pantalone, she is the only one who can accumulate a large amount of wealth in a short period of time."
Bai Ye also highly praised Dori's business acumen.
At the same time, he patted his chest.
Hey, Chang Sheng, stop sleeping inside my chest.
When you were with Baizhu, you stayed quietly coiled around my neck. But why does your head keep trying to burrow into my clothes when you're with me?
Emerging from inside Bai Ye's clothes, she said in a matter-of-fact tone, "I'm a snake. With so much Ice Slime in this car, as a cold-blooded animal, I naturally need to find a warm place."
"If you were just an ordinary snake, then never mind what I said, but the problem is you're Adepti!"
If you're still a cold-blooded animal, then wouldn't the Cloud Retainer be just using his beak to swallow food whole?
Chang Sheng shook his head, as if he couldn't hear clearly.
"Let's go, let's go see her."
Ningguang smiled and said.
As she said this, she pulled the car open and gracefully got out.
Bai Ye got out of the car behind Ningguang.
Bai Ye glanced at Dori.
Hmm, he still can't bring himself to like that shrewish businessman's face.
Of all the things about Bai Ye that Dori Ye found pleasing, it was her height.
I can finally look down at people.
Seeing Ningguang and Bai Ye together, Dori naturally knew that Ningguang was standing up for Bai Ye.
Ningguang's attack was ruthless. Although Dori was initially stunned by the blow, she quickly used her business connections to investigate and discovered that Ningguang was behind it all. Knowing that she was no match for Ningguang, she decided to meet with Ningguang first to find out what Ningguang's conditions were.
We're all here to do business. If your conditions are acceptable to me, then it's not impossible.
"Oh dear, I never expected the famous Miss Ningguang to act so impulsively."
Dori said with a smile.
She still wanted to save face for herself.
"You're probably thinking deep down that I'm trying to seduce a young girl, like I'm keeping a mistress Little Bai Ye, which is why I'm doing this, right?"
"I didn't say that."
Dori quickly waved her hand.
She had come here intending to back down, so naturally she wouldn't dare to provoke Ningguang too much.
"It's alright, even if you think that way, I don't care." Ningguang paused for a moment after saying this:
"Because that's how I think."
Bai Ye:"?????"
Dori: "??????"
Both of them were taken aback when they heard Ningguang's words.
At this moment, Dori's gaze turned to Bai Ye, who was standing next to Ningguang.
Upon seeing Bai Ye, Dori's expression froze for a few seconds.
She swallowed hard.
This guy has become even more grotesque.
When they met last time, she did feel that Bai Ye was quite handsome, the most handsome boy she had ever seen in her life. And now, seeing him again, Dori could feel the charm emanating from him was almost visible to the naked eye.
Even though they look exactly the same, why is there such a big difference?
Also, if I sell him, how much Mora will I get?
Yes, when Dori saw Bai Ye, she really liked him, so much so that she felt she could sell him for a high price.
However, the thought of it was terrifying. Dori knew that if she betrayed Bai Ye, she would probably have nowhere to go in Teyvat. Leaving aside everyone else, Ningguang's strength alone was enough to hunt Dori down and kill her.
In fact, Dori knew far too little. If she dared to kidnap Bai Ye and sell Bai Ye out, the sky would probably rain down Skyfrost Nail.
Finding remains at the molecular level is considered a sign of the mercy of those Heavenly Principles Maintainer.
Dori lay on her pink chamois and said to Ningguang and Bai Ye, "Tell me, what do you plan to do with me? I'll say it in advance: although I had some wicked thoughts about you, I didn't do it because I couldn't make any money from it."
"Yes, I know, but I acted first to prevent you from doing it."
Ningguang nodded.
"No, no, what gives you the right to say that?!"
Even though she had been prepared beforehand, Dori couldn't help but question Ningguang when she heard her say that.
"Because I don't want Bai Ye to face any unknown risks. There might be some enemies I can't deal with, but if it's you, it won't be difficult."
Dori almost swore.
Ningguang, you're such a shota lover, you tricked me just for this.
Dori assured him, "I'll write this in writing right now, guaranteeing that even if Bai Ye were to demolish the Akademiya in Sumeru, oh no, even if he were to demolish the Palace of Alcazarzaray, I would absolutely not stop him."
"Since I've taken action, it's naturally not just a little bit." Ningguang looked down at Dori: "You don't stop me or interfere, I still need you to help Bai Ye in Sumeru. Well, even if he wants to demolish the Palace of Alcazarzaray, you'll have to be there to hand him the hammer."
"That's impossible! Ningguang, you're such a shota lover! I'm going back right now. Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve!"
Dori exclaimed.
As she said this, she walked towards the back.
However, Ningguang's next words made her stop moving.
"I won't let you do things for free. For every thing you help Bai Ye, I'll give you a separate trade route to use. One route for each thing, how does that sound?"
Dori's eyes instantly transformed into the shape of Mora.
"Ningguang is a boy-lover, oh, no, Lady Ningguang, is what you're saying true?"
"Of course it's real. We can sign a contract beforehand."
Ningguang spoke slowly.
"I will now draft the contract."
Dori began to move.
Taking advantage of this moment, Bai Ye looked at Ningguang.
[Ningguang, aren't you being too unfair by doing this?]
Ningguang leaned close to Bai Ye's ear. "Don't worry, I didn't say I was going to give her a trade route to Liyue. Little Bai Ye, aren't you planning to save the King Deshret? Will you still need a trade route then?"
As Ningguang spoke, Bai Ye felt a tickle in her ears.
"You could even be a little more cunning. You could have the King Deshret confiscate Dori's trade route first, then sell it to me for one Mora, and I'll give it to Dori."
Bai Ye couldn't help but swallow.
He is cunning and ruthless.
But I like it very much.
"Of course, it's best not to do it at all. Let's give her some benefits so that it will be easier to cooperate in the future."
"Um."
Bai Ye nodded.
Dori then came over, having drafted the contract. Seeing Bai Ye and Ningguang discussing this, she stopped and stood aside.
Looking back now, she didn't have a single thought of complaining.
And his face was full of blessings.
So what if you're into young boys? The more you indulge, the more you'll succumb. In the end, you'll find love, I'll find Mora, and we'll all be winners.
Ningguang looked at Dori, stretched out her hand and said to her, "Okay, let's sign the contract."
"Uh-huh."
Dori nodded quickly.
Ningguang glanced at the contract.
Dori knew Ningguang's level, so the contract was perfectly normal, without any underhanded tactics.
As for the situation Ningguang mentioned, she hadn't expected it.
Because she was well aware of the situation at the academy, it was normal for her to help Ningguang suppress her, but giving the trade route to Ningguang, a foreigner, was impossible. What Ningguang could offer was simply what she herself possessed.
After signing the contract, Ningguang said to Dori, "With the contract signed, Ye will need to contact you if he needs Bai Ye. Perfect timing, I'm not going to Mount Sumeru for now, so you can take him to Mount Sumeru City."
"Good."
Dori nodded.
Ningguang looked at Bai Ye.
"I'm here now, and I'll be waiting for your good news in Sumeru."
"Okay, goodbye Ningguang."
"Good."
Ningguang nodded, then gently kissed his cheek.
"It's over."
Ningguang smiled and said, letting go of Bai Ye.
It's very moist, so I'm off.
Ningguang thought to herself.
She got into the car and drove away. Before Bai Ye could think for long, he heard Dori say in a fawning tone, "Um, Bai Ye- chan, oh, no, Bai Ye, shall we set off now?"
"Um."
Bai Ye nodded.
Dori summoned several Dravya Beasts and pointed to the most comfortable Dravya Beast, saying, "That one, Bai Ye, please sit on that one, it's soft."
Bai Ye, Ye sat on the Dravya Beast.
However, once you sit on the saddle, you will feel that it is indeed very soft.
It's very comfortable.
Bai Ye closed her eyes, preparing to rest.
"Let's go then."
Seeing that Bai Ye was seated, Dori immediately ordered her men to start driving the Dravya Beast away.
As for Dori herself, she simply found an ordinary cargo pack Dravya Beast and sat on it.
"Master, isn't this Dravya Beast your personal mount? Why did you give it to him? You must be uncomfortable sitting in it."
Dori glanced at her subordinate and said, "Comfortable? How many Mora can comfort buy? He's worth several trade routes now. As long as he gives me enough Mora, I'd be willing to ride me, let alone my pack Dravya Beast."
A good businessman is one who even sells himself.
The subordinate remained silent.
Next, Dori's men saw a completely different Dori.
Throughout the journey, she constantly inquired about Bai Ye's well-being, fearing that he might be hungry, thirsty, or unable to withstand the harsh climate of Sumeru.
She even offered to help Bai Ye find someone to warm her bed.
"This is absolutely not true."
Bai Ye hurriedly waved his hand.
While others couldn't see it, Bai Ye could clearly feel the wrath of the Gods Asmodeus within her body and the jade Guizhong.
Dori's subordinate joked, "Don't worry, it won't cost much."
"Huh? Shouldn't they be giving me the money?"
Bai Ye asked them a question in return.
The subordinates were speechless, but after taking a look at Bai Ye's appearance, they found that he had no flaws at all.
If we had ten times the looks of this guy, we'd all get a discount; if we had half his looks, we'd probably get everything for free.
Why is there such a big difference in appearance between people?
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Ye stopped talking and provoking the others, and turned his gaze to other parts of Sumeru to enjoy the scenery.
The scenery of Sumeru Rainforest is completely different from that of Liyue. There aren't many buildings, giving it a unique and serene beauty. Even along the way here, the vast rainforest stretches as far as the eye can see, and taking a deep breath at Bai Ye makes the air feel much fresher.
"This place is really nice; it would be great to stay here for a while."
That's what I was thinking Bai Ye thought to himself.
Just as he was thinking this, Dori came up to him:
"Master Bai Ye, we'll be arriving at Gandharva Ville soon. Would you like to sample Sumeru delicacies there?"
The scent of this Bai Ye is so sweet, it's a pity he can't sell it.
"Hmm..." Bai Ye nodded. Then, remembering a question, he asked Dori in a serious tone, "By the way, Dori, what are your Sumeru tableware?"
No, don't grab it with your hands!
Bai Ye didn't want to challenge his stomach's strength.
"It's a regular knife, but we also have forks. If you're not used to using a knife, I can find chopsticks for you."
"A small box will do."
Now Bai Ye was relieved.
While it is a form of cultural exchange, customs are not entirely the same.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt something. He looked to the side and saw someone standing in the distance watching him.
[The Doctor] Dottore.
What does he want from me?
With this thought in mind, Bai Ye stood up from the Dravya Beast.
What are you going to do?
Seeing Bai Ye's actions, Dori asked Bai Ye.
"You all go to Gandharva Ville first, I'm going to meet an old friend over there."
"An old friend?"
Just as Dori's face showed a hint of confusion, Bai Ye had already set off in the direction of Dottore.
Dottore retreated, Bai Ye followed.
Soon, Bai Ye arrived at an open space.
"You've finally arrived in Sumeru."
Dottore said to Bai Ye.
Looking at the situation in the open space, Bai Ye took a step back.
If it were just Dottore meeting him, Bai Ye wouldn't be afraid at all.
But,
What if there were more than a hundred of Dottore in front of us?
It was quite horrifying to hear over a hundred Dottore saying such things in unison.
What are you trying to do?
"I asked Dottore," Bai Ye asked.
It's not that I'm worried about what he'll do; the icy nails are right above his head.
"At this point, we are expressing our sincerity to you. We want you to rest assured that our scientific research team will not have any malicious intentions."
Dottore bowed slightly and said.
After that,
In Bai Ye's sight, flames erupted from all the Dottore bodies.
They began to self-immolate.
"These are all slices with malicious intent, including mine, and they will all be destroyed now. We only have one slice with good intentions left, he is a pure scientific researcher. I hope you can do all this well so that our technology can advance a few more steps."
Flames engulfed his body, Dottore spoke to Bai Ye without changing his expression.
