Layla Did It!

The recent events have been so unpredictable that even with the information he currently possesses, Alhaitham cannot fully grasp the situation.

However, there was one thing he was certain of: that this guy, Bai Ye, was definitely not a bad person.

He believed that Kaveh had entrusted the Bai Ye to his judgment.

To reiterate, if it's something Kaveh has to do himself, he'll choose to help unless it's 100% fake. But if he's to ask someone else for help, it has to be 100% genuine.

Meanwhile, the knowledge and intelligence gathered by Alhaitham also contain some information about Bai Ye, revealing some of the things he did in Liyue. Overall, aside from the construction of Guili Plains, many of the other places he appears in are related to the ruins of the Gods.

As for other information, their the Akademiya had none.

The Seven Nations don't know each other very well, unless it's something as big as a traveler doing and seen by many people, then other countries will hear about it.

People like Bai Ye, who are always out in the wild, are basically the only ones who have had contact with him, namely the Millelith. It's hard to hear the specifics of their situation.

The current intelligence is too complicated, so Alhaitham plans to investigate it discreetly later.

He nodded as a greeting to Bai Ye, and then left.

Guizhong appeared beside Bai Ye, hands on his hips, and said with dissatisfaction, "Hmph, this guy is so arrogant, I really want to trick him."

In Guizhong's eyes, the only people in this world who can act cool are Guizhong and her adorable little apprentice, Bai Ye; even Lao Zhong can't.

"Yeah yeah."

Asmodeus also acknowledged this in the jade pendant.

The Makoto both funny and exasperating.

At this moment, the dragon also spoke up, saying, "Guizhong, I will do whatever you say."

After a series of seemingly friendly exchanges, Chi finally understood her own position. Among Bai Ye's companions, her status was the lowest; as Bai Ye's teacher, Guizhong's status was Guizhong the highest. Don't be fooled by the fact that when everyone was alive, she could defeat Guizhong with just one hand; if she said that, she'd probably get beaten up three times a day—that would be the least of her worries.

So if you need to acknowledge someone as the leader, then you should do so.

She's also Teacher Bai Ye, so rounding that up, isn't I practically Bai Ye myself...?

Chi thought about it for a while, but still didn't dare to say it.

Otherwise, people would definitely die.

Hearing the eager expressions of these Gods, Bai Ye and Makoto said at the same time, "No, no, Alhaitham is still a human."

We're not bad people, it would be really too much to make enemies over something like this.

Makoto couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, Bai Ye was a child and wasn't corrupted by his teacher. Otherwise, a cute boy who only liked to have fun, yet possessed such great abilities, would probably throw the whole world into chaos.

"Then let's get rid of it..."

Guizhong said with some regret.

"Shall we still look at this sleeping little girl? Hehe..."

She revealed a wicked smile.

Upon hearing Guizhong's words, Makoto quickly asked, "Senior Guizhong, what are you planning to do?"

"Look, she's asleep and can't resist. Should we carry her to bed...?"

With a twitching smile, Bai Ye asked, "Teacher, what are you planning to do?"

"Take off her socks and then write words all over her legs."

Bai Ye: "..."

Makoto: "..."

"No, it still feels a bit awkward. It's a pity you can't easily design the Serenitea Pot yet, and we haven't found many people. Otherwise, we could wait until Layla wakes up and tell her she's transmigrated into the body of the Ice God. At the same time, we could send someone into her body and tell her she has a system and must impersonate the Ice God to survive."

Bai Ye into a deep silence.

Teacher, is this a prank? That's hilarious!

How did you ensure that you weren't beaten up...?

Oh, he's already been killed, so it's alright.

Xingqiu then ordered several servings of food and began to eat them with a reluctant expression.

After taking a few bites, he said to Bai Ye, "The food here is really bad. I haven't really gotten used to it during my time here. Bai Ye, do you have any cooking facilities over there?"

"I don't have any." Bai Ye shook his head. "I made the cooking mechanism to help Xiangling. Since Xiangling didn't come to Sumeru, I can't do anything about it. Otherwise, if you really can't stand it, I'll cook for you. As the saying goes, you become like the company you keep. I've been by Xiangling's side for quite a while and I've learned a bit from her."

"No, I don't need it."

Xingqiu quickly shook his head.

You've spent quite a bit of time with Xiangling, but Bai Ye person you've spent even more time with is Hu Tao! Hu Tao rice, although edible, makes Xingqiu feel like he can see his grandmother every time he finishes eating it.

Of course, Xingqiu was unaware that Teyvat possessed the terrifying existence of Raiden Shogun. Eating Hu Tao rice meant meeting his grandmother; eating food associated with Raiden Shogun allowed him to have afternoon tea with his deceased grandmother.

He stood up and said goodbye to Bai Ye: "I still have a lot of things to do, so I'll be leaving now. Sumeru, if you need anything, you can contact the Feiyun Commerce Guild, and I'll come and help you."

"The same goes for you. If anything happens at the Feiyun Commerce Guild, I'll go and help you too."

Bai Ye also said the same thing to Xingqiu.

"At least I'm pretty good at fighting."

Currently, among all the Fatui in Sumeru, only those two from the Fool Clan can cause trouble for Bai Ye. As for the others, even if Yoru goes all out, Alhaitham and Cyno working together might not be able to handle them.

"I understand." Xingqiu nodded, while forcing himself to swallow the curry on his plate.

"The food here is really bad."

"Different regions are different, and every region has its own unique characteristics."

Bai Ye is curious about everything.

"I'll wait for the cook from the Feiyun Commerce Guild to come over."

Xingqiu left.

Bai Ye continued to wait for Layla to wake up.

As night fell, Bai Ye couldn't help but fall asleep on the table, and only then did Layla wake up.

"Huh? You've had a good night's sleep?"

Layla and said.

The previous fatigue vanished, Layla felt full of energy, even able to go...

However, just as she stretched out halfway, she saw Bai Ye lying next to her.

"Ah..."

Layla looked at the sky and realized that it was already evening.

How long have I been asleep?

In the end, he even had Bai Ye wait by his side the whole time.

This is dereliction of duty, a truly dereliction of duty.

I was supposed to be the one taking him with me and protecting him, but in the end, everything turned out the other way around.

"I'm sorry, I really am sorry."

Layla rubbed her hands together and whispered to Bai Ye.

However, she didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear of waking up Bai Ye.

To be honest, it's really not easy for Bai Ye to wake up like that. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he was sleeping the most soundly; even firecrackers outside might not wake him. Besides, Bai Ye was very confident in his own safety. He used to have various mechanisms on his body, but now those mechanisms are gone, and he's been replaced by Gods.

Who could make Osial harm Bai Ye without him noticing?

At this moment, the shop owner, Su Lai, said to Bai Ye:

"Um, gentlemen, we're about to close up here, would you like to know..."

"Well, um, I..." Layla thought for a moment, wanting to ask the boss to wait a little longer. However, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

I'd have to pay him to keep the door open, but I just ran out of money recently, so I'm afraid I don't have enough.

Layla's family can only be described as moderately well-off. They have no problem attending school and making a living, but it's unrealistic to say they can spend money freely.

Moreover, it's unfair to the boss who's worked so hard all day to leave the door open.

She can't do it.

What should we do?!

Layla thought for a while, then, seeing the shopkeeper's urging expression, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

"Ren, I will take him away now."

"Layla said to the shop owner."

She grabbed Bai Ye's shoulders, trying to lift him up.

Ah...

I'm so weak, I'm bound to fail.

However, all we can do is try.

Layla was uncertain.

However, when Layla grabbed Bai Ye's shoulder, she felt a strong urge to be picked up by him.

This feeling even made Layla act subconsciously.

The mind didn't work, but the body did.

By the time Layla realized what was happening, she found herself holding Bai Ye in her arms.

It was the kind of princess carry.

How is that possible!

Layla's eyes widened.

What did she do?!

How could I do that!

Instantly, Layla felt an extremely heavy force coming from her arm.

She almost threw Bai Ye out. But just as she was about to throw her out, she remembered that she was holding a person.

Should I let go of Bai Ye?

Layla looked around; there was no way she could leave him here.

Maybe I can carry him away?

Layla held this thought in her heart.

Then, she took a step forward.

Can.

She discovered that although the pressure on her arms was great, it wasn't impossible.

Step two.

Even if it's wobbly, it can still persevere.

The third step,

Step 4

Layla staggered towards the outside.

With each step, Layla felt like she was about to give up, but when she reached the next step, she felt like she could hold on a little longer.

Give up?

Leave Bai Ye here and wait for him to wake up or call someone else?

No, no, no, that's too dangerous.

He wasn't useless; he was so handsome that if he stayed here Bai Ye, someone would definitely try to take advantage of him.

While walking, Layla overheard other upperclassmen from her college chatting. They said that many of those "Fatui" were actually involved in bride kidnapping.

How can we just leave Bai Ye here?

You must bring this back to him!

Wait, where is it?

Layla suddenly realized that she didn't know where Bai Ye lived.

This...

After thinking it over, Layla realized that the only thing she could do was take him back to her house.

Layla felt her face burning.

No, now is not the time to think about these things!

Layla realized that her first priority was to get him across before considering anything else.

Can I really do it?

Layla still doubted herself; it was absolutely impossible for her to let go of Bai Ye.

Layla walked towards her home.

I still felt like I was reaching my limit with every step, but then I felt a surge of power within my body again.

She slowly made her way back to her dormitory.

The Akademiya is a proponent of elite education, so there are not many students who enter the Akademiya, and each student is well-equipped.

Although Layla doesn't have detached houses like Alhaitham, it does have single dormitories.

She only breathed a sigh of relief after Layla put Bai Ye on the bed.

I finally managed to bring Bai Ye back.

Then an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

I really brought Bai Ye back!!!

Am I really capable of doing something with my weak physique?

She found it hard to believe that Bai Ye, who was lying on the bed, had told Layla that it was really true.

Perhaps I am not as useless as I imagine.

However, it's really exhausting.

Layla thought to herself, and then slowly drifted off to sleep.

She felt she had reached her limit and could no longer continue.

Layla to sleep.

She quickly stood up again, her eyes now incredibly clear.

She looked at Bai Ye on the bed and said, "Ah~, Layla really did a lot of things she had never done before."

She had initially thought that Layla would give up halfway and would need her to lend a hand. But to her surprise, Laiila actually managed to do it on her own.

That's a huge step forward for Layla.

She was very happy.

We look forward to Layla doing even more.

"Should I say at this point that even Layla would be tempted by beauty?"

She muttered to herself.

I still go to sleep at Bai Ye.

She reached out and gently touched Bai Ye's face.

This is truly amazing.

Perhaps this is an opportunity that can help Layla.

Previously, she always lacked motivation, and even when pushed to the limit, she wouldn't take the initiative. So what if someone could motivate her to take the initiative?

"Besides, this guy is sleeping so soundly, isn't he afraid someone will try to harm him?"

This is when 'Layla' starts complaining to Bai Ye.

Normally, even someone who is usually very sleepy should be awake by now. Why isn't he reacting yet?

If she hadn't been certain that Bai Ye's breathing was steady, she would have been worried that something had happened to him.

At this moment, Bai Ye was trapped in a dream.

He had intended to take a short rest, but he found himself trapped in a dream.

What appeared before him at that moment was a huge tree.

Moreover, the trees were radiating a dreamlike light.

This is...

Bai Ye could react, a woman walked down.

The woman was tall and slender, with long, flowing blonde hair. She wore a light green gauze dress that subtly revealed her alluring figure.

She is stunningly beautiful, intelligent, and wise.

"The King Deshret?"

"Bai Ye I said uncertainly."
