In the early morning, Bai Ye slowly awoke, and her hand involuntarily touched a soft body.

Um...

Who is it?

Bai Ye's brain subconsciously considered whether it was Hu Tao or a divine crane.

However, he quickly regained consciousness.

He's in Sumeru now, not Liyue. Hu Tao went to learn Adeptal Art from Zhongli, while Shenhe went to hunt down members of the Abyss Order with Cloud Retainer.

They couldn't possibly be here.

So...

Bai Ye instantly regained consciousness.

Quickly check who it is.

Layla!?

How could it be her?

Bai Ye was momentarily stunned.

Looking around, Bai Ye noticed the room was small, but the decor was refreshing. Apart from the bed, everything else was very clean and smelled pleasant. Bai Ye glanced at the table; it had several small astrological items on it.

This seems to be Layla's dormitory.

Didn't I fall asleep in the coffee shop yesterday? How did I end up in Layla's dormitory? Memories from last night and the scene of meeting the King Deshret in the consciousness space are all intertwined, making Bai Ye's mind a little confused.

Fortunately, Bai Ye and Layla weren't the only two people here.

"Teacher, what exactly is going on?"

Bai Ye asked Guizhong.

Guizhong didn't answer, but instead asked Bai Ye, "Tell me what's going on with you? Why do you seem to have lost consciousness?"

"I went to see the King Deshret."

"The King Deshret?"

Guizhong was taken aback when he heard Bai Ye say that.

"Yes, she told me she's currently infected by Forbidden Knowledge. Teacher, could you please tell me what exactly is going on here?"

Guizhong replied, "Well, while you were asleep, that little girl Layla could only take you to her own room. But later, she seemed to have switched personalities and then pounced on your bed. She seemed too tired, and she fell asleep too."

Guizhong Zhong didn't mention the incident where Bai Ye moved to embrace Layla, preventing her from leaving and eventually causing her to fall asleep. He knew that would only add pressure to his student. Guizhong would never do such a thing.

I, Guizhong, am by no means a rule-abiding person.

"As for why I just watched and didn't interfere..." Guizhong drew out his voice and replied, "How could I possibly interfere with my own student taking advantage of me? This little girl is a beautiful young lady after all, and of course I'm willing to let my little apprentice take advantage of her."

Bai Ye:"..."

At that moment, Layla slowly woke up.

She glanced blankly at Bai Ye.

His expression froze for a few seconds.

"Am I confused because I'm in such a hurry? How could I dream that Bai Ye appeared in my bed..."

Layla was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized that this was not a dream.

This is reality.

I spent the night in the same bed with Bai Ye.

"Ah! This..."

Seeing Layla's expression, Bai Ye was about to apologize. Then he saw her say in a tearful voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Teacher Bai Ye, I didn't mean to. It really wasn't my intention to put you in bed."

He was still muttering to himself:

"It's over, it's over, Layla is completely finished. I actually took advantage of Teacher Bai Ye while he was asleep. It's over, it's over, I can no longer continue my studies at the Akademiya, I can only go home to take care of the Yak-Dravya Beast. No, no, this is a crime, I don't even have the chance to feed the Yak-Dravya Beast, I'm afraid I'll be locked up."

"Ah!"

Bai Ye's expression showed slight surprise.

There's something wrong with the part about your anxiety.

He quickly said to Layla, "Well, Layla, things aren't what you think. Actually, there was nothing going on. We were just all tired last night, and you see, there wasn't anything going on at all, was there?"

Hearing Bai Ye say this, Layla paused slightly, then stared blankly at Bai Ye and asked, "Huh? Bai, Bai Ye, you, you're planning to treat last night as an accident? You, you really think this is okay?"

"I..."

Bai Ye didn't know how to say it.

Normally, even the worst jerk would at most tell the girl after waking up that last night was an accident and hope she'd accept it. But in her case, Layla couldn't wait to believe it was an accident.

Who really benefits?

He thought to himself.

Bai Ye didn't ask this question aloud. If he had, everyone would have said that Layla was the one who benefited.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Layla, why didn't you come to the academy today? Did something happen?"

"It's my teacher..."

"Layla said in a low voice."

The person who came was Layla's mentor, who had seen the treatise Layla had given her early that morning. Much of its content was derived from Dottore and went beyond the scope of the Rtawahist. This piqued Layla's mentor's curiosity, and she had intended to call Layla over to inquire, only to find that Layla had not come to the Akademiya today.

This surprised Layla's teacher.

Although Layla always seemed sleepy, she had never missed a class. But today she didn't come to class. Sensing something was wrong, Layla's teacher quickly went to her dormitory to find out what was going on.

This is exactly what they wanted to do to stop Layla and Bai Ye.

"We're doomed, we'll definitely be found out next time."

Layla felt even more pressure.

"Don't panic, don't panic..."

Seeing Bai Ye Layla quickly glanced at the window behind the house.

I left through that window.

"Really? That's great!" Layla exclaimed excitedly.

But when she glanced out the window, she was instantly disappointed.

Layla's dormitory was just a small single room, so the windows weren't very big. Even a young man like Bai Ye couldn't possibly travel through time.

"This place is impassable."

"Who said that?"

Bai Ye then took out the Serenitea Pot and said to Layla, "I will enter the Serenitea Pot. You can just throw the Serenitea Pot out later."

"Uh-huh."

Layla nodded quickly.

Then, Bai Ye entered the Serenitea Pot, and Layla picked up the Serenitea Pot with both hands and threw it out the window.

After doing all this, Layla nervously went to the door and opened it.

"Teacher."

She nervously greeted her teacher.

"Hmm." Seeing that her student showed no displeasure, the teacher breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that she didn't get it.

However, the teacher still asked Layla, "By the way, why didn't you come to the Akademiya today without asking for leave? Did something happen to you?"

"I..." Layla's forehead was sweating a little, then she said softly, "I slept in and didn't get up. I'm sorry, teacher, I'm late."

"No, no, it's normal for you to rest more after you finish writing your thesis. I'm worried about you not getting enough sleep."

The teacher showed no sign of blaming her; in fact, she felt it was a good thing that she was able to get some sleep.

Feeling relieved, she prepared to leave.

However, the teacher glanced at the pillow and saw a long, platinum-colored hair on it.

Um!?

The teacher was deeply moved.

Layla has standard blue hair, so where did this platinum blonde hair come from?

Could it be that Little Layla actually slept with someone last night?

Could she have been sexually assaulted?

"That's what Layla's teacher thought to himself."

She instinctively wanted to ask Layla, but she was also worried that asking would put too much pressure on her student.

"Let me investigate quietly first, so that Layla won't be deceived both physically and sexually."

The teacher thought to himself.

Bai Ye left the Serenitea Pot put it in his bosom.

On the streets of Sumeru, Bai Ye complained to Guizhong:

"Goodness, this is the first time I've ever done something like this since someone secretly left."

"How was it? Exciting, right?" Guizhong said to Bai Ye, "Let's do it a few more times next time."

"You absolutely mustn't do that!"

Bai Ye said to Guizhong.

Guizhong waved his hand with a smile, "Hey, it's not like I'm asking you to steal someone else's wife. What you're doing is stealing someone else's daughter, okay?"

"Teacher, I beg you, I don't want to die young."

Bai Ye always felt that his teacher was deliberately leading him astray.

"Hmph~"

Guizhong snorted coldly, not intending to pay any attention to his own student.

Seeing that his teacher wasn't talking to him, Bai Ye shrugged.

Alright, let's find a place to have breakfast first.

Many people have already set up food stalls this morning.

Bai Ye found a small stall.

I ordered a pancake with filling and a drink.

While eating, Bai Ye was also thinking about how to find the body of the King Deshret.

"I'll have to check next time to see if there are any records of the King Deshret in the academy."

He thought to himself.

While eating, Bai Ye saw someone sit down opposite him.

"Hey, looks like you're having a pretty good time here."

This person is so impolite.

Upon hearing this voice, Bai Ye thought to himself.

He looked up and saw a man wearing a hat sitting opposite him.

They're Scaramouche!

Looking at the Scaramouche, Bai Ye leisurely wiped his mouth with a tissue and said slowly:

"Yes, after all, I'm not in a hurry. Wherever I go, there are Gods watching over me, and they all treat me like someone they want to kill. Unlike some people, right?"

"You little brat!"

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, the Scaramouche, whose sore spot had been hit, twisted his otherwise decent face in anger.

"Try to find..."

He was about to utter the word "courting death" when, in that instant, he felt several gazes directed at him.

It is the Gods within Bai Ye.

And there's the 'Dreamy Musou' in his hand.

Only then did he regain some of his senses.

Talking to Bai Ye will only bring you trouble.

Forget it, forget it. I'll become a god first. Then I'll just leave and see what he can do then.

The Scaramouche knew that what he needed most right now was that divine ritual.

At this moment, Makoto from 'Dreamy Musou' spoke up:

"Are you the child my sister created?"

"Yes, I will get my revenge on her sooner or later."

After finishing his sentence, the Scaramouche turned his head to the side.

"Sigh, there's probably a misunderstanding. I'd like to talk to Ei about it when I see her."

"Hmph, what's the point of talking to her? I'll definitely settle the score with her next time we meet."

The Scaramouche continued to complain.

Then, he noticed that Bai Ye had taken out a mechanism from his pocket.

The Scaramouche asked Bai Ye, "What is this mechanism?"

"Oh, the recording device. I'll record what you said, and I'll play it for Raiden Ei when we meet."

Bai Ye said calmly.

"You bastard!"

The Scaramouche grew increasingly angry as they looked at Bai Ye.

I can't fight him, and this guy keeps hurting me.

The Scaramouche pondered how to pierce Bai Ye's heart.

Are you bringing up the matter of Guizhong?

Forget it, before I can even psychologically hurt Bai Ye, Morax, the Rex Lapis of Liyue, will physically hurt me first.

Seeing that the Scaramouche were about to go crazy, Makoto tried to smooth things over, saying, "You, let's get down to business. You didn't come here to argue with Little Bai Ye."

"Hmm." The Scaramouche nodded, then said to Bai Ye, "Alright, Dottore needs your approval before we can begin the experiment."

"Good."

Bai Ye nodded.

"Let's get through this now."

"Wait a moment, let me finish my meal first."

Bai Ye was still eating slowly, not showing any sign of being in a hurry.

The Scaramouche watching from the sidelines clenched their fists tightly.

Only after Bai Ye finished eating did he set off with the Scaramouche.

Perhaps out of anger, the Scaramouche increased his speed to the maximum and passed by Bai Ye without caring whether Bai Ye could catch up with him.

However, Bai Ye has long since moved beyond comparing his movement speed to that of others.

Instant teleportation.

The next second, Bai Ye appeared next to the Scaramouche.

The Scaramouche looked at Bai Ye and gritted their teeth, increasing their speed even further.

He suddenly covered over a hundred meters.

Then he saw Bai Ye appear in his left front corner.

What!?

The Scaramouche accelerated several more times.

However, every time he accelerated, he saw Bai Ye appear in front of him.

The Scaramouche were furious.

At this moment, he also realized that Bai Ye was capable of spatial teleportation.

Asshole,

This guy is getting more and more well-rounded.

He thought to himself.

Just as he was thinking this, Bai Ye said to him, "Um, aren't you going to run away anymore?"

"I'm not running anymore."

The Scaramouche grimaced.

How could you possibly outrun someone?

"That secret laboratory is just ahead."

He pointed ahead and said.

"Oh."

Bai Ye nodded and looked ahead.

There was an ancient tree in front of him, but when Bai Ye arrived at the entrance of the tree, the branches protruding from the ground opened up, revealing a door.

Bai Ye Yeqi pushed the door open.

Next,

A vast space appeared before Bai Ye.

Although it was pitch black, Bai Ye could see a huge mecha inside, according to his line of Bai Ye.

The next second,

Bright lights appeared in the space.

Dottore appeared on the road ahead of Bai Ye.

He smiled as he approached Bai Ye and Scaramouche.

"Welcome to my experimental workshop."

Dottore said to Bai Ye and the Scaramouche.
