Srosh: Are You Two Eloping?

Finally, before Bai Ye could even speak, the King Deshret saw through Layla's thoughts and went to her teacher to ask if he could take her under his wing for a while.

Knowing that it was the King Deshret who asked for leave for Layla, what objections could Layla's teacher possibly have?

They even wished that Layla and the King Deshret could stay a little longer.

The King Deshret is not only highly powerful but also knowledgeable. Being with her is very beneficial to Layla's development, much more so than being with her as a mentor.

And so, everyone decided on the next move.

Venti, Raiden Ei, Zhongli, and the King Deshret headed straight for Fontaine.

After those people left, Bai Ye asked a question.

Did any of the four of them bring Mora?

"Probably. At worst, they can still perform for money."

After thinking for Guizhong, Gui waved his hand and said.

Bai Ye nodded in agreement. "That's true. Zhongli can be a storyteller, Venti can sing poetry, Raiden Ei can even perform breaking a boulder on his chest, and the King Deshret can even become a fortune teller."

I couldn't help but think of Venti banging a gong and calling out to the crowd on the street.

"I'm new to your esteemed place, so I'll show off my skills and perform for you. A few coins won't hurt, but a thousand coins would be a great gesture to show my friendship. Let's not waste time on idle gossip, I'll just present you with my signature show."

This is something Venti is capable of doing.

After the gods left,

Hu Tao, Xiangling, Shenhe, Ayaka were planning to return to Sumeru together and then travel directly to Fontaine by water.

They didn't travel along the same route as Bai Ye.

Oh, right, and fluorescent too.

She took advantage of the Bai Ye.

"Bai Ye, now that I know about my brother's situation, I need to investigate it first."

"Okay, be careful."

Bai Ye instructed Ying.

"Yes, yes, we will definitely be careful."

Little Paimon nodded repeatedly.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye took out a teleportation device.

"This is a trap. If you see your brother can't handle it, I can come and help you."

He said to Ying.

"Good."

Ying paused for a moment, then took the device and placed it in her arms.

"Hello..."

Paimon looked at the silent Ying, just about to say something.

At that moment, Bai Ye suddenly felt herself being hugged.

Before she could even think about it, Ying had already left Bai Ye's embrace.

"Ah!"

Paimon stared in disbelief.

Ying quickly left with Paimon.

Chu Bai Ye stared blankly at their retreating figures.

Actually, he gave Ying these coordinates because he planned to teleport there and have another good fight with her when she met Kong.

It turns out there was a misunderstanding.

Bai Ye didn't know how to explain this misunderstanding.

He couldn't very well chase after Ying and tell her that he was actually planning to beat up her brother.

The next morning, Bai Ye and Guizhong left the camp hand in hand.

Parting is always uncomfortable, even knowing that you can see each other again in a month or two.

So Bai Ye and Guizhong simply ran away secretly.

The two of them ran quite a distance before finally sitting down to rest on a desert slope.

Bai Ye let out a long breath.

Guizhong then asked them, "Bai Ye, I'm a little curious. It's fine if the others don't know, but how come Xiao Hu Tao and Shenhe don't know?"

Upon hearing Bai Ye touched her face, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Both Hu Tao and Shenhe knew that Bai Ye was going to leave secretly, so they decided to make a big fuss about it.

The two of them were still asleep at that moment.

Although Bai Ye was too embarrassed to answer, she could tell Bai Ye was going on Guizhong by looking at him. She glanced at Bai Ye and then kicked Bai Ye shin with her little foot.

"Hmph, you little pervert! It's obvious you haven't been doing anything right. These past few days, you've been kicking me out every night, leaving me all alone outside in the cold wind."

"Teacher, every morning when you come back, your mouth is covered in oil. I suspect you've been eating a whole cow every night lately."

"That was for Cloud Retainer and me!"

The debate Guizhong escalated.

"Wait a minute, there really is one cow missing!"

Bai Ye's eyes widened.

"Cloud Retainer is Adepti, I am Gods, what's wrong with eating a cow?"

Guizhong patted his bottom and then stood up.

"Teacher, that's all my money!"

Bai Ye stood up with a sorrowful expression.

Stealing food from another tribe is something neither Guizhong nor Bai Ye would do.

"Don't worry, it was all Cloud Retainer's treat."

Guizhong patted him on the shoulder, giving him a look that said, "You can trust your teacher to handle things."

Hearing his teacher say that, Bai Ye instantly became happy.

It's good that I don't have to pay for it myself!

"As expected of a teacher."

Bai Ye gave Guizhong a thumbs up.

At this moment, Guizhong laughed and jumped onto Bai Ye's back.

"Now you know how good the teacher is, come on, carry the teacher for a while."

As she said this, Guizhong tightly wrapped her legs around Bai Ye's waist. The two were about the same height, so this was the only way.

"Hey, teacher, you're exploiting child labor!"

Bai Ye kept calling out to Guizhong.

At fourteen, one isn't allowed to work.

"Child labor? You should think carefully about what you did last night before you speak."

Guizhong tapped Bai Ye's head and said.

Bai Ye embarrassed, Ye quickly carried Guizhong on his Guizhong and walked forward.

After carrying Bai Ye on her Guizhong for a while in the desert, Guizhong asked Bai Ye to put her down.

She was just joking. If she were to really use her disciple to the point of exhaustion, she would never be willing to Guizhong.

Gui Zhong's fair feet stepped on the rough gravel without suffering any harm. Although her body looked delicate, when Ye Ye created her teacher's body, she used Kanriya technology, Liyue magic, and Winter's technology. Gui Zhong's current body strength was very strong even among demon gods, and these gravel stones did not cause her any harm at all.

"I'm starting to regret it. With all this yellow sand, where can we find any good scenery? Sigh, maybe we should just go to Fontaine for a trip instead."

Guizhong said helplessly.

"Yes, how about I summon my 'True God Mode' and then move quickly?"

"No, no, now that we have the opportunity, we should go with the flow. Maybe we'll encounter some different scenery?"

Guizhong hurriedly waved his hand.

At that moment, Bai Ye looked to the right of the two of them and said with a wry smile, "I didn't see any different scenery, but I did see similar people."

Before Guizhong could ask any questions, he saw a dozen or so Fatui appear behind the sand dunes.

They gazed at the Bai Ye and the Guizhong.

Why does this boy look so familiar?

Forget it, let's not think about it anymore, let's just rob them first.

The Fatui was about to make their move when Bai Ye and Guizhong secretly rubbed their palms together, planning to 'rob the rich to help the poor'.

"I hope you guys can have more money, and not end up like that Elder Tanit, who is poorer than the average worker in Liyue Harbor."

Bai Ye thought to herself.

Just as they were about to make their move, a small creature resembling a bird suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Here, as the Fleur Fair, I will absolutely not allow you bad people to lay a hand on me."

It addressed everyone in the arena.

The members of the Fatui were taken aback when they saw this guy.

What's going on?

They couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Such a little guy talking about stopping a fight. I really don't know what gives it the right..."

The member of the Fatui froze mid-sentence.

At this moment, behind these Fatui appeared many burly men wielding knives. They recognized their attire; they were members of the most powerful force in the area, the [The Heresy Group].

This...

Before they could even resist, they were all subdued by the members of the "The Heresy Group".

They were already at a disadvantage in terms of both numbers and combat strength, and this time they were caught off guard by a sneak attack from behind. The Fatui that wanted to rob Bai Ye was now completely wiped out.

The Fleur Fair then flew away to the Bai Ye and Guizhong the side of life.

"You two aren't from the desert, so what brings you here?"

It deliberately flew above Bai Ye and Guizhong, looking down at them with feigned arrogance as it inquired.

Before Bai Ye could even speak, the Fleur Fair continued, "Let us guess..."

"Judging from your appearance and clothes, you two must be from the great Eastern country of Liyue, right? The country ruled by the Rex Lapis, I doubt anyone in the entire Sumeru can do it better. If I have the chance, I'd like to visit that place."

"Yes, the two of us came to Liyue."

Bai Ye and Guizhong both nodded.

It's alright, at least I know how to dress, so I've gained some knowledge.

"Now, judging from your appearance, I guess you eloped because your families didn't approve of you being together. Hmm, you're quite resourceful, running all the way from Liyue to Sumeru, even into the Sumeru desert."

The Fleur Fair spoke in a very serious tone.

Hearing Fleur Fair say that, Bai Ye was speechless.

What's this all about?!

Just as Bai Ye was about to speak and explain, Guizhong nodded solemnly.

Her face showed an expression as if she was about to cry.

"Yes, you're right. Our families were originally enemies, but later, for the sake of convenience in my studies, I deliberately dressed as a woman, and as a result, we ended up sharing a dormitory at the academy..."

She began to speak to Fleur Fair.

His expression was very sad, but beneath that sadness was a smile he couldn't hide.

She really enjoys playing pranks on people.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye on the other side listened in silence.

What is this?!

What Romeo and Juliet?!

"So that's how it is, I don't understand."

Fleur Fair was completely immersed in this story.

It was truly breathtaking.

It looked towards the Bai Ye.

"Can you take us in?"

"So..." Fleur Fair drawled out her words.

Then, changing the subject, he said, "You all get back here right now! You're so young, what are you talking about dating? Just focus on your studies."

"Judging from your age, you're only thirteen or fourteen. At that age, it's definitely puppy love!"

"So, don't elope, come back to me."

Fleur Fair said to Bai Ye and Guizhong.

Guizhong: "..."

Bai Ye looked at her teacher with a suppressed pleasure.

Alright, shall we continue playing?

However, he underestimated Guizhong's mischievousness. After Fleur Fair chased them away, Guizhong talked about his family relationships, making Fleur Fair and the others feel that Bai Ye and Guizhong's return would be very troublesome.

"We have no money and don't know where to go. Can you take us in?"

"Alright, it just so happens that I, Fleur Fair Srosh, am about to accomplish a great feat and need someone to promote me. You guys will be my Srosh's accompanying photographers."

Fleur Fair nodded.

"Okay, okay..."

Guizhong clapped his hands and said.

"These are the things we're best at."

"Hmph!" Srosh flew off into the distance. As she flew, she said to Bai Ye, "Let's go, follow me to see those people from the [The Heresy Group]."

"Good."

Bai Ye and Guizhong both nodded.

Srosh walked ahead, with Bai Ye and Guizhong following behind.

Guizhong elbowed Bai Ye.

It was meant to show how amazing she was.

Guizhong, Gui Zhong whispered to Bai Ye, "Speaking of which, why don't you pretend to be the Flower Goddess Zhuan? In front of them, this is much more useful than anyone else. With your appearance, if you say you are the Flower Goddess Zhuan, they would probably believe you."

Bai Ye thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it, that's unnecessary. There's nothing particularly interesting here. Oh, right, I remember there are traces of the previous Hydro Archon, Egeria, over here. Should we take this opportunity to look for her over there?"

I originally thought that since I had already grasped the body and power of the Flower Goddess, I would just come here to take a casual look around. But then I remembered that the body of the previous Hydro Archon was here.

"I see..."

Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then replied to Gui Guizhong, "Perfect, let's see if we can get Egeria's body."

"Mhm."

Guizhong nodded hurriedly.

At this moment, the members of the [The Heresy Group] did not want Guizhong and Bai Ye to enter.

"They're all Childe masters, is it alright for them to stay here?"

"Why not? They want to stay by my side, and I'll take responsibility if anything happens."

Srosh said earnestly,

Seeing that Srosh said this, the others didn't say anything more.

Srosh flew back to the Bai Ye and Guizhong.

"Let's go, let's leave. Remember to stay close to me, and after I've finished what I need to do, write it all down carefully. That way, after I sacrifice myself, I will achieve the same illustrious fame as our ancestors."

She said to Bai Ye.

"Sacrifice?"

Bai Ye and Guizhong both looked at Srosh.

"Yes, to save this mortal world."

Srosh nodded.

At this moment, after the group had crossed the sand dunes, Bai Ye and Guizhong saw a scene appear in their sight not far away in the sky.
