"Yes, it seems you know me."

The woman dressed in green gauze slowly walked towards Bai Ye, nodding slightly to acknowledge her identity.

"Yes, I heard Zhongli, oh no, I should say Morax, mention you."

Bai Ye.

The King Deshret smiled and did not expose Bai Ye's lie.

The World Tree holds the memories of Teyvat. Although Bai Ye is an outsider and won't be remembered by the World Tree, everyone else around her is recorded in the World Tree. Morax naturally didn't tell Bai Ye what the King Deshret looked like, but Bai Ye recognized her at a glance.

It's normal for people from outside the world to have some unusual circumstances.

"This is the space of consciousness; I can only find you here." The King Deshret walked up to Bai Ye and pressed his finger against his face.

"I only have a remnant soul left now; the rest have probably all vanished. And all I can do here is wait for someone to come. You are the first person to arrive here."

"I was worried about affecting others, so I didn't call upon them. Only you can ignore the power of the Abyss, so I pulled you here to meet you."

Her fingers stroked Bai Ye's cheek.

The movements were very gentle, as if one were caressing one's own child.

A warm sensation traveled from the palm of the King Deshret to the cheek of the Bai Ye.

At this moment Bai Ye and the King Deshret were pressed tightly together, and Yoruichi's eyes could see directly into her chest. However, Bai Ye did not feel any lustful sensation, but rather a sense of sacred elegance.

"You really are beautiful, more beautiful than anyone I've ever seen, even more beautiful than the Flower Goddess. Seeing you, I really want to look at you a few more times."

"The King Deshret said softly."

It wasn't that she had any improper thoughts about Bai Ye; it was more like the affection a senior showed to an outstanding junior.

An unnatural expression appeared on Bai Ye's handsome face.

He quickly asked the King Deshret, "How much of your remnant soul do you have left? How can I save you?"

"To save me, you must confront Forbidden Knowledge." The King Deshret gently stroked Bai Ye's hair. "I know you possess an extraordinary hostility towards the Abyss, but Forbidden Knowledge differs from ordinary Abyss power and may not be completely eradicated. If you wish to save me, you must thoroughly purify the Forbidden Knowledge within my body. If you cannot do so, having come into contact with Forbidden Knowledge, you will likely have to do as I have, sealing yourself away or destroying yourself to save Teyvat."

As she said this, she sighed softly:

"The Lesser Lord Kusanali's powers are the same as ours. Even without me, you have other ways to succeed in your plans. Bai Ye, your safety is far more important than mine. Don't risk your life for someone who is already dead."

"You are an outsider, and even if the World Tree has been modified, it can still remember me. I am already satisfied."

However, as she was saying this, she found that her hand was being tightly gripped by Bai Ye.

Holding onto the King Deshret, Bai Ye said earnestly, "If you were to give up your life because you didn't want to live anymore, I certainly wouldn't stop you. However, if you don't want to exist because of those Forbidden Knowledge, then I absolutely, absolutely will not agree. I can take on the power of all Forbidden Knowledge and then make it have no further impact on this world."

The King Deshret saw the determination in Bai Ye's eyes.

He will not give up.

If he were to refuse, then Bai Ye would probably infuse a whole bunch of Forbidden Knowledge into his body.

The King Deshret spoke to Bai Ye, saying, "Since that's the case, then I'll give you a chance to try."

"What opportunity?"

She said to Bai Ye, "My memories tell me that although I died to prevent the spread of Forbidden Knowledge, my body was preserved intact. I just don't know where the Akademiya has kept it. Forbidden Knowledge is probably still preserved in that body. If you can withstand Forbidden Knowledge, then remove it first. If you can't, then give it to me."

The matter of the King Deshret's body was not shown in the game in Bai Ye's previous life. Bai Ye thought about it and realized that this was probably something only a few people in the Akademiya knew about, because the King Deshret later modified the World Tree, so all traces of her existence disappeared.

Under the current circumstances, Bai Ye had communicated with the King Deshret in advance.

"Then, King Deshret, you just wait."

"I speak earnestly to the King Deshret," said Bai Ye.

"I'll be back soon."

Then, place the King Deshret into your body first, so that all the Forbidden Knowledge remains within you.

"Okay, I'm waiting for you to come again."

The King Deshret nodded slightly.

She didn't actually believe that Bai Ye could do this, not entirely because of his abilities. Rather, it was because even her body was one with the World Tree. To truly remove the influence of Forbidden Knowledge from her body, it would be necessary to remove the influence of Forbidden Knowledge from the entire World Tree.

In the end, it will take until Bai Ye merges the entire World Tree into his body.

This level of difficulty is what the King Deshret believes is something that Bai Ye cannot achieve.

The King Deshret stretched out his arms and gently embraced Bai Ye.

"Come on."

She believed in her heart that Bai Ye couldn't do it, and that their next meeting should be the moment when she could completely forget him. This hug was, in a way, her final farewell.

Bai Ye reached out and hugged the King Deshret.

He was comforting the King Deshret.

"Hurry up, I'll come looking for you after I've dealt with those insects at the Akademiya."

My vision is getting blurrier and blurrier.

Bai Ye broke free from this dream.

Inside the room, the second personality of Layla was still looking at Bai Ye lying on her bed, sizing her up with a smile.

Every now and then, the corners of his mouth would curl up slightly, revealing a look of drooling.

"It's a pity that this is the Akademiya, and this little Bai Ye's combat power is obviously higher than Layla's. Otherwise, we really should have staged a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress drama. Then, at the crucial moment, we could have let Layla unleash her full power. When that time comes, she'll know just how strong she is. Sigh, this is a hard-won motivation for Layla to increase her strength, so we can't give it up so easily."

She didn't know what to do.

"Forget it, I'll finish writing Little Layla's things first. She's already done a good job today, so let's not let her worry about this trivial matter anymore."

He walked to the table and took out two sheets of paper. One was the topic of the essay that Layla had prepared herself, and the other was a sheet of paper that Dottore had given to Bai Ye, on which he wrote down the shortcomings and flaws in Layla's essay.

"That guy is clearly not a good person, yet his knowledge of water is so terrifying. Who exactly is he? And what is his purpose in being with Bai Ye?"

The second personality Layla, made a comment while reading what Dottore had written.

Bai Ye and Dottore, one you can tell is a good person at a glance, the other you feel is a villain at a glance, I don't know how the two of them got together.

With the help of Dottore, the second personality of Layla wrote a paper that was far superior to the original.

Dottore was not originally a member of the Rtawahist, but he was very familiar with the knowledge of various academies, so the questions he asked were all things that the Rtawahist did not have, but rather things that belonged to the knowledge of other academies. The second personality Layla, saw these and successfully integrated them together.

She quietly left the room and then sent all the letters using the mailing mechanism developed by the Logic School to her mentors.

"Hmm, I'm looking forward to seeing the surprised looks on the mentors' faces when they see the chapter."

The second personality, Layla and said.

At the same time, she glanced at Bai Ye, who was lying on the bed.

"Did they take up all my bed? Hmm, should we squeeze in?"

Although it was a single bed, and Bai Ye was slender, Layla wasn't exactly plump either, there wasn't much of a problem with them lying together.

"But it's still best to keep some distance..."

Layla, in her second personality, said this, and then she planned to create a boundary.

Just then, Bai Ye reached out and hugged her.

Actions in the realm of consciousness will manifest as reactions in reality.

"Ah, this..."

'Layla's' body stiffened. She wanted to push him away, but at that moment she found that her strength was actually less than the strength she felt in Layla weak state.

Some people lack strength.

While being held like this, Layla's thesis arrived smoothly at her advisors' address.

They awaited the teachers' viewing.

At that time, Inazuma.

While Ayato was drinking milk tea, she received a letter from her sister.

He picked up the letter, ready to open it and take a look.

"Let me see what she wrote? Hopefully, it's not some diplomatic incident."

Ayato opened the book and began to read.

It contained Ayaka's various plans, including how to relocate part of the Kamishiro family to Liyue, and other things.

Ayato gently touched her forehead.

My younger sister isn't even married yet and she's already trying to take things out of the family home. It's really...

Despite his initial disapproval, Ayato's mind raced as he began to consider the feasibility of the idea.

Then it was discovered that what Ayaka said was not wrong at all.

"Indeed, this matter is beneficial to the religious family."

Although it may temporarily harm some of our profits, it will be extremely profitable in the future.

Even Ayato felt that his younger sister was speaking a little too late, wanting to occupy a key position in something. Either be the first, or the most important.

"It would have been better if this had been brought up at the beginning. Now, all we can say is that it depends on our important role in the construction of Guili Plains."

Ayato thought to herself.

However, he felt that this was not stable.

There are quite a few families in Teyvat that are as powerful as the Kami's Clan.

As for scheming, Ayato never considered it. He had already devised a plan for Bai Ye: to treat him with sincerity and communicate with him in the most genuine way.

If I try to use my cunning, I'm afraid those who watch the Bai Ye will turn the tables and kill me.

Ayato wouldn't believe that there wasn't someone with intelligence inferior to his around Bai Ye.

As he was pondering this, Ayato felt a gust of wind pass by.

Then he found the Eight Divine Child appearing before him.

This cunning fox.

Ayato silently complained to herself.

He knew that the Eight Divine Child would definitely be watching his side.

She had been looking for a suitable reason to see Bai Ye, but it hadn't been easy before. She was probably waiting for Ayaka to deliver a message and setting up surveillance magic in some unknown location within the Kamishira residence. Now that her letter had arrived, Yagami- Divine Child would naturally come looking for her.

"Let me see what this letter says?"

Divine Child used magic to take the letter from Ayato's hand.

Ayato did not stop him, because he knew he was no match for Divine Child, and there would be little point in stopping him.

After reading it, the Eighth Divine Child's smile widened considerably.

"Oh, is the little guy planning to find someone to design buildings in various styles?" Divine Child put away the letter and said seriously, "Inazuma is a traditional country with two or three thousand years of culture. If we can't find the right person in terms of culture, the design will probably be bad. It seems I have to go and help the little guy. With my long life and the responsibility of carrying out cultural and ideological work for the whole country, I am the perfect person to do this."

Is your national cultural and ideological work just about selling light novels?

Ayato thought to herself.

However, the Eight Divine Child found their excuse and decided not to think about so many things, choosing to leave directly.

Upon arriving at Mount Kagebi, she planned to pack her clothes and leave Inazuma when no one was looking.

Yes,

Just as she finished packing all the clothes and stepped out of Grand Narukami Shrine's room, a purple figure appeared in front of her.

"Hmm? My old friend, what brings you here?"

Eight Divine Child smiled and said to Raiden Ei.

"I just came to see what you're planning to do?"

Raiden Ei spotted the letter immediately.

They took the sample.

After watching for a while, Raiden Ei nodded slightly.

A slight smile appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

At that moment, he gave the Eighth Divine Child a look.

The Eight Divine Child looked at it and immediately understood her thoughts.

Divine Child said to Raiden Ei, "Hey, my old friend, you taught Little Bai Ye swordsmanship and forging before. He's having some problems now, so why don't you go and help him? It's perfect timing. I might make some mistakes on my own, so why don't you go and help him together? This Inazuma was established by you and Shin-sama, so you're naturally the most familiar with Inazuma culture."

"Can."

Raiden Ei nodded in satisfaction.

"It's a good opportunity to see how much his swordsmanship has improved."

The two then slowly walked down the mountain.

The wooden clogs made a 'clattering' sound as they stepped on the stone slabs.
