Bai Ye had no idea that he was still in Sumeru, and that someone in Fontaine had already stayed up all night because of him.

After dinner, Bai Ye and Guizhong held hands and went into the tent.

Just before entering the tent, some members of the Heresy Group were laughing and teasing Bai Ye and Guizhong for being so precocious at such a young age, doing things they shouldn't have done.

Bai Ye lowered her head, her face flushed.

Although he hasn't Guizhong with his teacher yet, he's done everything he should and shouldn't have done with Hu Tao and Shenhe!

But Guizhong remained calm and composed.

What a joke! I'm an innocent person, and I don't care if you slander me.

Even if you did do something, so what?

Etc!?

Why did I think of this?

Guizhong touched his cheek and realized that Bai Ye hadn't noticed them, so he quickly pulled him into the tent.

After they entered the tent, the members of the Heresy Group behind them were still making jokes:

"Why is it that the guy is incredibly shy while the girl is so open and frank? This is different from usual!"

"I'm afraid it's all the woman's initiative."

"Taking the initiative? Hmm... it's not impossible. The boy looks so hunchbacked, even a rough old man like me wouldn't feel any aversion to him. If it were a young girl, she would probably fall for him at first sight."

"Sigh, if I had even half his looks, I wouldn't stay here in the desert blowing sand."

"..."

Bai Ye and Guizhong could hear the conversation clearly.

The two looked at each other, and finally shrugged helplessly.

Bai Ye lay down, intending to rest. Guizhong also lay down directly beside him, wrapped his arms around Bai Ye's chest, and tightly wrapped his right leg around him.

This is a movement she has habitually made ever since she regained her body.

After all, she had been without a body for thousands of years before this, and before meeting Bai Ye, she was in a situation where she felt she could die at any moment and had no one to talk to.

For hundreds of years in between, Guizhong's spirit remained tense, fearing that it would disappear if he relaxed even slightly.

Therefore, after having a body, Guizhong always wanted to experience the touch of a body, and at night when sleeping, he liked to hug Bai Ye and savor the touch of his body.

Holding the soft, adorable Bai Ye in my arms, Guizhong felt a sense of renewed life.

However, deep down, she always harbored a strange emotion.

Bai Ye Guizhong knew Bai Ye inside and out. He had watched him grow up since he was a child, and he knew Guizhong Ye's body better than anyone else.

Today, the inexplicable emotions in her heart surged even more intensely.

Perhaps it was because Bai Ye spent every night with Hu Tao Shenhe during this period that he felt lonely, or perhaps it was because the two of them pretended to be a couple today, making their situation ambiguous.

Guizhong, I felt that my palms were a little hot.

Her face rested directly against Bai Ye's back.

"What am I thinking? I'm Bai Ye's teacher! How could I be thinking such things..."

The more I said I didn't want to, the more I felt that Guizhong was wrong with my mood.

Bai Ye will grow up slowly.

She even lent a hand to Bai Ye's leader.

Guizhong Zhong was very happy when she did it, because she knew it was for her own disciple. But later, thinking about herself, Guizhong didn't want to do it anymore.

Bai Ye now has a lover.

He will get married in the future, and his future holds many exciting things.

She felt confident that she could always stay by his side, but there were some joys that she couldn't experience through her identity as Bai Ye's teacher.

Guizhong, I felt agitated and upset.

She didn't want to be just a background character in the Bai Ye story; she wanted to be the protagonist in every story.

Imagine one day Bai Ye is taking his wife and children for a leisurely stroll, while he is just watching them with a 'kind' gaze from behind.

This would be a terrible outcome for other teachers, but for me it was torture.

Guizhong afraid that he would lose Bai Ye.

After thousands of years of living in fear, Bai Ye was the light that saved him.

Bai Ye always said that without Guizhong, a little kid like him would die sooner or later in the wild. But Guizhong, thinking about the situation in Liyue, even without him, Bai Ye could find people to help him. He could survive a lot in Liyue just by relying on his face. And without Bai Ye, she probably would really disappear completely one day.

All along, it was Bai Ye who had been protecting her.

Guizhong, I still want to continue.

And we need to go even further.

Bai Ye sensed that something was wrong with her teacher.

He opened his eyes and looked at his teacher.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

He asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Me? What do I need?"

Guizhong shook his head in denial.

Bai Ye looked at the teacher with a puzzled expression and said seriously, "Teacher, lying is not allowed. What is there between us that we can't talk about?"

As he said this, his voice trembled slightly.

"Teacher, are you even going to deceive me?"

Guizhong immediately grabbed Bai Ye's head with both hands and said fiercely:

"How could I? How could I possibly lie to you!"

"Then, what's wrong with you, teacher?"

Silence Guizhong, silence, and more silence.

She wanted to organize her thoughts.

After organizing for a long time, she finally mustered up the courage to say to Bai Ye:

"Bai Ye, my concern for you has changed."

"It's gone bad? Teacher, what do you mean?"

Bai Ye asked in surprise.

He didn't think that his teacher disliked him.

Bai Ye had no idea what that meant.

Having said what he wanted to say, Guizhong's tone became much more relaxed.

It was as if some shackles had been completely released.

"I want to have another identity by your side."

Guizhong said, word by word.

"Another identity?"

Bai Ye hadn't reacted yet.

At this moment, Guizhong pushed Bai Ye down and sat directly on his lower abdomen. Then, she also fell down and held Bai Ye's head in her arms.

"That's it, I want more."

Holding Bai Ye like this, letting his head rest in his arms, Guizhong felt a sense of peace.

Goodnight.

Guizhong said one sentence and then fell asleep.

Anyway, I've said everything I needed to say, now it's up to Little Bai Ye to decide.

When

Running away is impossible.

Guizhong is not the kind of person who would give up easily.

Nothing she sets her mind to will be unsuccessful.

He wanted to give peace to those who followed him back then, so he found Morax and Makoshort, making the whole of Liyue peaceful.

Now that I want to do this little thing, I'm sure I'll succeed.

At this Bai Ye's head was being held by Gui Guizhong, but his mind was completely blank.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses.

What is Teacher Guizhong saying?

What does she want to do?

I want more.

What is she planning to do?

Is it a table?

What is the teacher planning to do?

At this Bai Ye, Yuya's mind became chaotic, with all sorts of random thoughts coming to mind.

Does he like his teacher?

Of course I like it.

But was that love?

The feeling of Bai Ye before was vague.

It was an extremely complex emotion.

It contains many.

Is there love in it?

Bai Ye that.

At least when he and his teacher were fooling around, he didn't care about her status as a teacher at all, and he casually touched her body, doing all sorts of things that would be done by a family member in a way that was beyond what ordinary people would do to their children.

The teacher said her kindness had changed, so what about my filial piety towards the teacher?

Has it also gone bad?

At that moment, he felt the touch of his teacher's body on his cheek.

When Bai Ye created her teacher's body before, although she had seen it all, she didn't have that feeling. But now, even through a thin layer of clothing, Bai Ye still felt a different sensation.

This isn't about treating your own teacher as a teacher, but rather as a lovely woman.

Actually, the teacher is a very cute and charming person.

Bai Ye's face turned crimson.

He found himself unable to control his reactions.

He was very shy.

He knew perfectly well that, judging from the actions of the two of them, his teacher was absolutely certain.

He didn't know how to start the conversation.

Guizhong hugged Bai Ye even tighter.

But the smile on his lips was even wider.

Bai Ye didn't know how to react.

He suddenly remembered something.

Is there Gods inside my body?

Although the teacher Guizhong anticipated his possible situation, he would naturally shield himself from the Gods' senses whenever night fell or when necessary. However, tonight he thought he was just sleeping, so Asmodeus and Makoto, the two Gods, saw him.

This...

Bai Ye was thinking this, he heard Makoto chuckle softly.

What kind of reaction is this?

A question lingered in Bai Ye's mind.

Not only him, but Asmodeus also looked at the Makoto some confusion.

What are you laughing at?

Makoto smiled silently.

If even a genuine teacher can turn into a treacherous disciple and rebel against their master, then what is there for his younger sister to be so reserved about, who has only taught him swordsmanship for Bai Ye?

"Sigh, I've really broken my heart for my sister!"

"Makoto thought to himself."

At the time, she thought Raiden Ei's idea was a bit excessive. Later, after gaining a complete soul, Makoto was able to experience the charm emanating from Bai Ye, and thus understood her younger sister. Now that she has discovered that Guizhong also has such thoughts, she suddenly feels that her younger sister's and her own thoughts are nothing.

At least compared to Guizhong, we are relatively more knowledgeable about etiquette.

Meanwhile, Asmodeus was thinking about how to persuade Bai Ye to accept.

Well, first I'll accept my own teacher, then I can continue to be shameless, and then I can completely become a carnivore. And once it really starts, Asmodeus is confident in his charm and stamina in that area.

The next day, everyone prepared to set off on their mission.

The purpose of the operation remained clear, and the other members of the Heresy Group continued their own activities. Meanwhile, Srosh, along with Bai Ye and Guizhong, set off to find the original Flower Spirit Zurvan.

Originally Srosh hadn't planned to bring Bai Ye and the others along, but the appearance of the spirit yesterday and Bai Ye's previous adventures made Srosh feel that it would be better to bring them Bai Ye.

So they set off.

Bai Ye and Guizhong were still holding hands, or rather, Bai Ye was being led by Guizhong's hand.

He was still somewhat at a loss.

His teacher's assertive attitude left him unsure whether to accept it directly or hesitate before accepting it.

Yes,

Bai Ye had no intention of refusing.

He knew he could refuse, but if he did, Bai Ye felt that he and his teacher would become much more distant.

This is something that Bai Ye cannot accept.

So there's only one option left.

But...

Thinking about their relationship over the past ten years, Bai Ye still felt somewhat hesitant.

They can only be led along by Guizhong.

Srosh then noticed that although Guizhong was barefoot the whole time, he wasn't covered in any dust. Srosh asked Guizhong, "What's going on? How come you're not covered in any dust?"

I said I am the Gods of Dust, how could this dust possibly get on me?

Guizhong, he thought to himself.

However, on the surface, she still spoke in a serious tone, "When I was in Liyue, I saw a cultivation manual and learned some immortal Adeptal Art. That's how I kept myself from being touched by dust and sand."

"I see."

Srosh nodded, then led Bai Ye and Guizhong to the main gathering place of Flower Spirit.

Looking at the settlement of the Flower Spirit, Bai Ye and Guizhong stared wide-eyed.

The settlement of the Flower Spirit was so dreamlike that Bai Ye felt as if she were in a fairy tale.

At this moment, several other Flower Spirit flew over.

Bai Ye and Guizhong exchanged a glance, and immediately adjusted their attitude.

Maybe this is a group of people with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?

However, Bai Ye miscalculated this time.

Upon seeing Srosh, the Flower Spirit spoke:

"Srosh, what are you doing?"

"Is Chu-han injured?"

"Srosh, the matter of 'The Heavenly Phenomenon of Burning Truth' should naturally be handled by Lord Zurvan. Don't do anything reckless!"

Upon hearing Flower Spirit's words, Srosh immediately retorted, "Why can't I solve this? I am different from you. Our mission is to resolve this the Heavenly Phenomenon of Burning Truth."

At that moment, another Flower Spirit flew over.

Looking at the way the other Flower Spirit looked at this Flower Spirit, Bai Ye felt that she must be the original Flower Spirit, Zurvan.

She flew over and spoke to the Flower Spirit.

"Don't worry, Srosh will definitely fulfill her mission."

Then, she said a few more words and told Srosh and the other Flower Spirit to leave.

After only Bai Ye and Guizhong remained, Flower Spirit immediately said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Bai Ye; greetings Zurvan, Lord Hagintos."
