Bai Ye and his two companions walked up the stone steps to the top of the mountain.

There's nothing here except for a whole set of buildings.

This is a blank space, entirely left to the free rein of the Bai Ye.

Bai Ye looked out of the courtyard and said to Hu Tao and Xiangling, "This is an empty plot of land. What do you think about planting some 'Spring Never Ends' and raising a few chickens?"

Since it's called Taixu Mountain, it can't be lacking in anything it should have.

Hearing Bai Ye say that, Xiangling also became interested, "That's great! Then I'll build another kitchen next to it, and we can cook right here."

"Let's put a stone table here, and then we can enjoy the scenery down the mountain while eating the delicious food Xiangling makes."

Hu Tao also offered her own suggestions.

"Yes, yes, I'll definitely get everything done when I have time, boss." Bai Ye readily accepted all the suggestions.

At that moment, Hagintos's voice also rang out.

"Bai Ye, I want to do planning too. Hmm... they're all involved in planning, and I want to plan the courtyards there. I'm your teacher, and you'll definitely listen to your teacher."

"Okay, okay, as long as you don't turn the yard pink."

"What? Who would like that kind of thing! I, Hagintos, am a Gods with extremely high aesthetic sense."

Bai Ye assumed she was telling the truth. After all, when her teacher said she was a powerful Gods, Bai Ye also chose to believe her.

At this moment, Hu Tao pushed open the mountain gate and curiously walked in.

Soon, her surprised voice came from inside.

"Wow, this yard is huge! Let me see, this yard alone could fit dozens of coffins without feeling crowded."

Give me a more normal analogy.

Bai Ye complained to Hu Tao.

Then, he and Xiangling quickly went inside. He was incredibly curious about the courtyard, after all, this was the first time he had owned a house since he came to Earth and after transmigrating. Moreover, it was a huge building that belonged to him.

He went inside, and at that moment, Hu Tao had already entered the main room.

The main house was similar to the one in Bai Ye's previous Serenitea Pot, but much larger, a three-story building. At the entrance of this building stood a chubby penguin-like creature.

Yes, this is the Pot Spirit.

At this moment, Hu Tao was curiously examining the Pot Spirit.

"What, what are you going to do?" When the Pot Spirit saw Hu Tao, it suddenly felt a kind of fear similar to that of a demon, as if the girl in front of it possessed great terror.

"What are you afraid of? You're not a ghost after you die, so I'm definitely not going to bury you," Hu Tao said nonchalantly.

"I... I'm telling you, I have an owner." When the Pot Spirit saw Bai Ye, it immediately flew over.

"Master, master, save me, save me."

Hearing what the Pot Spirit said, Xiangling asked curiously, "Why do you call him master?"

"The True Lord already told me that if there's a boy with a high ponytail and white hair, that boy will be my master. Hmm, Master, there's something terrifying in this pot!"

"She is my friend."

Bai Ye introduced Hu Tao with a grin. But as soon as he finished speaking, he received a glare from Hu Tao.

What's wrong with me?

"Let me tell you, I am just an innocent friend of your homeowner."

Hu Tao insisted.

The Pot Spirit looked at Bai Ye, Bai Ye nodded affirmatively.

Then, the Pot Spirit fell silent.

He didn't want to say anything.

Not innocent at all, not ordinary at all, not a friend in the sense of being an innocent or ordinary friend, he felt it was better to keep quiet.

Xiangling continued to ask the Pot Spirit:

"By the way, what are the uses of this Pot Spirit?"

Upon mentioning its profession, the Pot Spirit immediately perked up and confidently introduced itself, "The Pot Spirit is responsible for the construction and planning of the entire Serenitea Pot. Master, whatever you want to make, just give me the materials and I can make it for you."

"What about Mora? Can you make Mora?"

Bai Ye immediately asked the Pot Spirit.

"Sure!" The Pot Spirit nodded earnestly.

"It takes ten Mora to make one Mora. If you give me ten Mora, I'll give you one. I guarantee it's real. It's real even in front of the Rex Lapis."

Faced with the teasing from his own Pot Spirit, Bai Ye made the appropriate response.

He waved to the Hu Tao.

"Hu Tao, go!"

"Okay!"

Hu Tao understood immediately and stepped forward.

"No!!!!"

After being lectured, the Pot Spirit was noticeably more obedient. He whispered to Bai Ye others, "Well, I have ready-made blueprints here. As long as you can get the materials from these blueprints, I can make ready-made decorations for you."

It took out a stack of blueprints and handed them to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye took the blueprints.

He thought he would have to build it up gradually on his own. Indeed, sometimes it's better to let those who are supposed to do it do it.

"Come, let me take a look..." Hu Tao then moved closer to Bai Ye's left side and reached out to look at the drawings. Looking at a few of the drawings, Hu Tao said to the Pot Spirit, "This stove is nice. Pot Spirit, help me make one. I want to warm myself by this stove."

Without any hesitation, Hu Tao demanded a room within the Serenitea Pot. Not only did she have no doubts about this, but Bai Ye had none either.

Xiangling looked at Hu Tao, then thought about Guoba's flying kick. She gave herself a pep talk, then moved closer to Bai Ye as well.

"I want to see the blueprints too," Xiangling said, leaning closer to Bai Ye.

Then, Xiangling glanced at the blueprints and then looked up at Bai Ye.

Take a look at Bai Ye,

Take another look at Bai Ye...

"It's so beautiful..."

Xiangling muttered to herself.

"Huh? What's so interesting?" Hu Tao asked curiously when she heard Xiangling say that.

Xiangling Hu Tao instantly, her face turning bright red, as vibrant as Jueyun Chili. Her mind raced, and she quickly pointed to the blueprint in front of her, "Hey, isn't this blueprint really beautiful?"

"Hmm, this stove? It's really nice..." Hu Tao also picked up the wallpaper that Xiangling had been looking at and began to ponder it as well.

Bai Ye then curiously discussed this with Xiangling and Hu Tao.

Every now and then, I could still hear my teacher yelling in my mind.

In the morning, Bai Ye and two others emerged from the Serenitea Pot.

The three of them spent the entire night making plans. After they finished the design drawings and calculated the materials they needed to prepare, the Pot Spirit reminded them that it was morning outside.

"Oh? It's already morning."

Xiangling said with some regret.

They spent the whole night discussing it. While they were talking, he kept stealing glances at Bai Ye. He didn't even remember what he was saying in the end, and then morning came.

"Yes, it's morning." Bai Ye nodded affirmatively.

"Well, let's go out first."

So the three of them went out, and not long after they reappeared, they saw Keqing's angry expression.

Keqing is of course a yoki.

You all disappeared without a word, leaving me to search everywhere. Especially you, Bai Ye, you know how many enemies you have. What if something happens to you?

Knowing they were in the wrong, Bai Ye and the others quickly apologized to Keqing.

After venting her anger Keqing's temper subsided. Then, glancing at the time, she decided to let them go home first.

The group packed up their camp to return to Liyue Harbor. As Xiangling was packing, Guoba hopped over. It first sniffed Xiangling's scent, and after catching a pleasant fragrance, it nodded in satisfaction, its eyes filled with anticipation for what Xiangling would say.

"Ah~, I didn't sleep at all last night, I'm a little sleepy."

Guoba immediately widened his eyes in surprise.

"After discussing the layout with Hu Tao Bai Ye night, I really feel sleepy now. Well, I'll definitely catch up on my sleep when I get home."

Upon hearing this, Guoba's surprised expression vanished. It then went to Xiangling's side and snatched the spear from Xiangling hand. Next, it reversed the spearhead, assuming a suicide pose, and tucked the spear tip under its armpit, collapsing to the ground.

"Guoba, Guoba..."

Xiangling called out a few times, Guoba stood up listlessly. Just then, Hu Tao, Bai Ye, and the others were ready to head back to Liyue Harbor.

So, forcing themselves to stay alert, Bai Ye, Hu Tao, and the others began to move.

Since the vehicles hadn't been deployed yet, they walked back. Keqing was alright, but Bai Ye and the other two who had stayed up all night were in a terrible state.

Especially for Bai Ye, first there was fighting, then cultivation, and finally, after finishing cultivation, he still had to discuss the design blueprints with Xiangling Hu Tao. The mental strain was immense.

When he reached the north of Liyue Harbor, he was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open.

"Ah~" He yawned and staggered a little.

Then,

He suddenly felt a lightness on his back as he was lifted up.

Meanwhile, beside him, feeling Bai Ye being lifted up, Hu Tao and Xiangling, who were originally a little sleepy, immediately perked up.

Who dares to harm Bai Ye?

They were thinking about this at the time.

Get ready to be the hero and rescue the damsel in distress.

Then, turning their heads, the two of them saw that Shenhe was holding a spear in one hand and lifting Bai Ye up with the other.

She was still chewing on Glaze Lily.

Looking further into the distance, they saw Ganyu and the others slowly walking towards them.

This is two groups of people colliding.

Watching this scene from afar, Liu Yun Cloud Retainer was grilling fish halfway up the mountain, couldn't help but chuckle.

They were very satisfied with Shenhe's quick movements.

As expected of my disciple, his movements are incredibly fast.

If you have the opportunity, go for it; if you don't, make the opportunity so that you acknowledge it exists and still go for it.

"Ha ha..."

She couldn't help but laugh.

At that moment, he turned to look at the young man and woman behind him.

"Your the Geo Archon, Guchen's fish will be ready soon."

After seeing Shenhe, Ganyu, Ying, and the others off, Liu Cloud Retainer was still very worried. So, she transformed into human form and decided to go to Liyue Harbor to wait for them.

Then, at this very moment, she also met Zhongli and Grandma Yu, who had recovered from the Madame Ping.

Upon meeting, they decided to have a picnic halfway up the mountain first. While barbecuing, they watched with amusement as the relationship between their own disciple and Guizhong's disciple developed.

I am so pleased, so pleased.

Seeing Shenhe lift Bai Ye up so easily, Cloud Retainer was overjoyed, adjusting his red-rimmed glasses.

However, her happiness lasted for less than five seconds before she saw two girls next to Bai Ye trying to take Bai Ye down.

You guys.

"No, no, these two girls are just ordinary people. Shenhe is a disciple of my Cloud Retainer. These two girls can't compare to Shenhe at all."

Cloud Retainer quietly comforted himself.

Shenhe He is a disciple of a dignified Adepti, possessing such powerful Adeptal Art, and still so beautiful. Although he is slightly older and more physically imposing than Bai Ye, at least he knows how to care for people, doesn't he?

Also, I have more than one disciple.

How can those two ordinary people around Bai Ye compare to Shenhe and Ganyu?

At this moment, Zhongli and Madame Ping walked to Cloud Retainer's side and picked up the grilled fish.

Hearing her self-comforting words, Madame Ping shook his head and then silently pointed at Xiangling.

"That cute girl with short hair is my apprentice."

"Huh?" Cloud Retainer's expression froze.

Disciple?

Is that short-haired girl the disciple of the Madame Ping?

The attack wasn't over yet; at this point, Zhongli was referring to Hu Tao.

"She is my current boss."

I still rely on the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor for meals.

Cloud Retainer could no longer maintain his composure.

Goodness, I'm not the only one with this idea!

Cloud Retainer first looked at Madame Ping, and then at Zhongli.

The three of them instantly understood each other's thoughts.

We're all old foxes, so let's not talk about who's who.

Zhongli watched as the Cloud Retainer the Madame Ping.

However, Cloud Retainer and Madame Ping exchanged a glance and shook their heads at Zhongli.

Your the Geo Archon.

We will follow your advice on other matters. But on this matter, I will not agree.

Some feelings cannot be compromised.

Whether for my sake or for the sake of my beautiful little apprentice, we cannot give in.

See the four people sitting together below.

The three Adepti halfway up the mountain, whose lifespans are at least two thousand years, are starting to get tense.

Especially Cloud Retainer and Madame Ping, the two of them have no shortage of the spirit to compete with each other.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have argued with Guizhong for so many years.

"My disciple truly loves him."

Madame Ping spoke to Cloud Retainer.

"Tch, when it comes to sincerity, everyone seems to have it."

Cloud Retainer straightened his glasses, not giving an inch.
