Chapter 107 Return to Winter Capital
After reluctantly bidding farewell to the void, Liu Bai followed Nashida and left Xumi.
But before leaving using the earth vein teleporter, Nashida still had one thing to do, which was to say goodbye to her friends.
Those little guys named Lanaro had never seen Nashida in reality, but they had already been familiar with Nashida in their dreams.
The last time Nashida was taken away by Liu Bai, the sudden loss of news from her made Lannaros a little worried. They even formed a temporary expedition team and sneaked into Xumi City, but they didn't gain anything.
In order to avoid leaving suddenly like last time and making them worry, Nashida decided to say goodbye to them in her dreams before leaving.
In this way, Liu Bai and Nashida first landed on a meadow outside Xumi City and lay comfortably on the grass in the breeze.
"Please wait for me a moment."
Nashida explained to Liu Bai, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Liu Bai had no choice but to nod and lie down next to Nashida. For a moment, he had nothing to do and could only stare blankly at the clouds rolling in the sky.
After a while, Liu Bai turned around and looked at Nashida.
She was curled up like a kitten, leaning against Liu Bai's side. Looking at her cute sleeping face, Liu Bai couldn't help but secretly picked up a long weed leaf from the side and poked Nashida's nose and face with it.
After she was poked awake, Liu Bai quickly hid the grass leaves in his hand behind his back with an innocent expression.
……
"Well... the Void Terminal has helped the Ministry of Education save a lot of money. Now all aspects have to increase expenditures."
"It seems that I have to go to that small merchant again. Maybe she will be happy to spend Mora to buy her freedom."
In the Grass God's office, the Great Compassionate Tree King is dealing with the problem of excessive expenditures by the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
She was not very satisfied with the situation where more wealth was in the hands of one individual, and it would be nice to be able to give it a little shake.
"Have you left already?"
At this time, the Great Compassion Tree King suddenly felt something, put down the work at hand and looked towards the direction of Zhidong.
"I hope you have fun. I think the Ice Queen won't make things difficult for you now."
……
"Hey hey hey, go out and pick up a loli!"
In the city of Solstice covered with a layer of white snow, Liu Bai took Nashida and walked on the cold and windy streets. Although his body was shivering from the wind, he looked very happy.
Nashida, who was standing by, always felt that his words sounded familiar.
"You should put on more clothes. You're not afraid of the cold, but I feel a little cold just looking at you."
Nashida couldn't help but pull Liu Bai, reminded him, and stretched out her hand to use her dream to create a windproof coat and handed it to Liu Bai.
"okay……"
Although his strength had been increased by 13, Liu Bai was still shivering in the snow and ice. He quickly took the coat handed to him by Nashida and put it on.
The coat was large, and very similar to the coat worn by the Fatui's Executor. It was probably made based on that pattern.
After putting on the coat, Liu Bai hurriedly walked behind Nashida, and when she was confused, he pulled the coat into her arms, letting her stay inside the coat with only her little head sticking out.
"... Let's go."
Although it was indeed warm this way, Nashida felt a little embarrassed and had to urge Liu Bai.
In this way, Liu Bai and Nashida returned to the rental house where Liu Bai had lived before.
At the same time, on the other side of Winterfell.
"What? You said that Leirqi has gone to Liyue? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Young Master Tartaglia questioned his men with eyes wide open.
"Uh... Sir, you have been out for special training recently, and we can't contact you."
The debt handler under Tartaglia explained somewhat helplessly.
"Okay, okay, really. What if Xiaobai takes all the credit? Quick, prepare a boat for me. Let's go to Liyue now!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Under Tartaglia's instructions, the ship was quickly prepared. Tartaglia did not stop and immediately boarded the ship and headed for Liyue.
……
After a simple cleaning in the rental house, Liu Bai and Nashida sat together on the plush cushion in front of the heater, stretching out their hands and getting closer to the warm heater.
"Did you see just now? The house next door that was damaged has been rebuilt. It looks much more luxurious than the other houses."
Sitting by the fireplace and warming herself by the fire, Nashida took the initiative to start a conversation with Liu Bai.
"I see, I see. I have to say that Brother Fu is really rich. He must have built it."
Liu Bai nodded quickly.
Originally, the rooms he rented were relatively old, but the rebuilt house next door was comparable to the big houses in the city center.
"Are you talking about the executive who runs the Northland Bank? You are all from Liyue, so you are familiar with him?"
Nashida nodded and continued to ask curiously.
Except for Liu Bai who is a special case, the information of other executives can be found in the void, so she basically knew it all a long time ago.
"That's about right. Anyway, Brother Fu is a good man. He really spends money on me."
Liu Bai nodded.
As the largest businessmen in the country, Pantalone and Dolly have one biggest difference, that is, he is never stingy with the spending of his subordinates, and his business methods are something that Dolly can never match.
Besides, no matter how rich Dolly was, she could never be as rich as the Northland Bank, which spanned seven countries.
"Hmm, so you've already returned to the winter. Next you should go find the Ice Queen, right?"
Nashida nodded in response, and then continued to remind:
"But don't forget the contract with Morax. Don't let others know that you took his Heart of God."
In order to prevent Liu Bai from accidentally revealing that he had the Heart of the Rock God, Nashida had to remind him at this time.
In other countries, even if Liu Bai accidentally let slip the term Heart of God, most people would have never heard of it. But it was different in Zhidong. Liu Bai’s colleagues definitely knew about it.
"Hehe, don't worry, I won't forget it. I will go find Her Majesty the Queen later."
Liu Bai patted his left chest, feeling the three hard objects hidden under his clothes, and spoke with certainty.
"But speaking of which, I have already obtained the Heart of the Grass God..."
"Dog system, where are you?"
Liu Bai suddenly thought of something, took out the emerald green heart of the Grass God from under his clothes, and then called out to the air.
"Ding ding, the system detects that the host has not yet accepted the Demon God Mission (Sumeru Chapter), and will not issue rewards."
The system responded quickly.
"But you didn't issue any tasks, Dog System!"
"...Dog host, you actually remember all this!"
