Chapter 275 The vicissitudes of life
"No, that's not the case. Miss Keqing, you misunderstood..."
Ganyu reacted and quickly waved her hands to deny it.
"I understand. I don't have the power to control you, but I still have to remind you that he is quite close to the two Fatui executives. You must be careful not to get involved."
Keqing gave Ganyu instructions in a serious tone, then she and Ganyu separated and went back to their own homes.
"Ms. Keqing seems to have misunderstood something..."
Looking at Keqing's gradually receding figure on the dim street under the moon, Ganyu muttered in distress.
……
"Girl, I'm done washing..."
In Xiaobai's room, Liu Bai, who came out of the bathroom, had a visibly flushed face.
Although the bowl of wine didn't make him drunk, he was still dizzy. Now he was even more dizzy after taking a shower.
"Yeah, come here, I'll blow dry your hair, and then you can go to rest quickly."
In the bedroom, Nashida pointed at the chair in front of the dressing mirror and spoke to Liu Bai.
The houses in the Little White House were all built by Nashida according to the Liyue style. Although she might not need to use it, she still prepared a dressing table.
Liu Bai obediently walked over and sat in front of the dressing mirror. Nashida walked over and gently touched Liu Bai's head with her hand. Then she used the dream manifestation from her palm to transform the elemental force into wind elemental force and a trace of fire elemental force, creating a soft and warm airflow that blew on Liu Bai's wet hair.
But halfway through the wash, Nashida felt something and bent down to sniff Liu Bai's hair.
"This smell... and the smell of your body, did you mistake shower gel for shampoo, and shampoo for shower gel?"
Noticing that Liu Bai had a strange smell, Nashida put her hands on his head and rubbed it with some amusement.
"Ah? It's not written on it..."
Liu Bai, feeling dizzy, raised his head in confusion.
"I wrote it especially for you... Never mind, it doesn't matter whether I use it or not."
Nashida shook her head and didn't dwell on the issue any more.
Soon, the gentle hot wind dried Liu Bai's hair. Nashida and Liu Bai, who had already finished their shower and changed into light green pajamas, returned to bed.
"You are still dizzy now, go to bed early today."
Let Liu Bai lie down on the bed, Nashida pulled the quilt and said to him.
"Oh……"
Liu Bai responded with disappointment, but still closed his eyes obediently.
"Good night then."
Nashida turned off the lights and then took Liu Bai's hand and placed it on herself.
The two of them fell asleep quietly together.
Doing too many things in a dream would make one's spirit tired in reality, so Nashida seldom disturbed Liu Bai's dreams, or seldom met him in dreams.
But this time it was different. Nashida invited him to join her dream with Lanaro.
Although Nashida lost contact with Lannarod after being taken away by Liu Bai, the actual situation was that she was worried about the surrounding environment, so she had not slept for a long time, so she could not contact Lannarod.
Even though they are separated by a country, she can still connect with the dreams of Lanaro and others.
The Lannaros naturally welcomed the guests invited by the King of Grass.
"Radish spirit...girl, radish stewed with pork ribs is delicious!"
Then, Liu Bai in the dream chased after Lanaro who was fleeing in all directions.
Nasida: "..."
“I picked this up!”
"...?"
The next moment, Nashida woke up from her dream, turned her head and met the eyes of a little Lanaro with innocent eyes who was held in Liu Bai's arms.
"Hello, King of Grass~"
Little Lannaro greeted Nashida, and the little flowers on her head began to spin.
"...Hello, Lan Luomo."
"Well, actually you and Radish are not alike. He must have caught the wrong person. Let me take you back."
Nashida greeted Lan Rama.
Lan Rama did not refuse, and with the help of Nashida, he was quickly teleported back to the Xumi Rainforest through the earth veins.
……
While walking in the air, Zhongli patiently answered Guizhong's questions, mostly about what had happened in recent years or the situation of a certain immortal.
In this way, the two of them arrived above Guiliyuan.
This place is very different from what it was thousands of years ago. In the end, all you can see at a glance are ruins, and you can even see the place where the immortals used to gather.
Before being awakened, her memory still stayed in the prosperous days of Guiliji. It didn't feel like a long time had passed for her. But when she saw the drastic changes with her own eyes, she couldn't smile for a moment.
"Emperor, the seal of King Dust has been...?!"
At this moment, Xiao, who sensed Zhongli's breath, flew over to report, but was slightly stunned after seeing Guizhong beside Zhongli.
Just after he felt that the seal was broken, he had been searching for suspicious auras in Guiliyuan, trying to confirm what had happened.
As one of the five Yakshas who sealed Guizhong's divine body after her death, Xiao naturally recognized Guizhong.
"I already know about this. You don't have to worry about it. Go back and rest."
Zhongli nodded.
"Yes."
Xiao responded immediately and couldn't help but take another look at the appearance of the girl next to Zhongli. Then he disappeared from the spot without disturbing Zhongli from reminiscing about the past with his old friend.
After Xiao left, Gui Zhong and Zhongli fell from the sky together and came to the place where they used to gather.
A stone table can still be seen among the ruins here. On the table there are some sundries left behind by adventurers or treasure-hunting groups when they were resting outside. The table is now covered with dust.
However, the dust was returning to its original place. She waved her sleeves lightly, and the accumulated dust fell to the ground beside her with the wind, along with the sundries on the table.
"Fortunately, I still have one table left, and I can invite you all to come over for a party."
Looking at the stone table in front of him, Guizhong nodded and said.
This table is not ordinary, otherwise it would not have stood here for thousands of years without collapsing. It's just that it has been worn out so much that it looks very ordinary.
Looking at Gui Zhong who seemed to be forcing a smile, Zhongli remained silent.
"Morax, do you still have any wine? You still smell of alcohol, you must have just drunk, right?"
Sitting down at the stone table, Gui Zhong suddenly asked Zhongli.
"Another point."
Zhongli responded and then took out a small jar of osmanthus wine.
……
the next day.
Liu Bai woke up from his sleep and found that Nashida's small body was held in his arms like a pillow.
Sensing Liu Bai's awakening, Nashida raised her head and looked into his eyes.
"Girl, are we going out today?"
Liu Bai asked tentatively.
"Of course I have to go out. Otherwise, am I going to stay in here forever... Ugh!"
Nashida answered as a matter of course, but before she could finish her words, Liu Bai leaned over and kissed her lips.
...Omit 10,000 words...
"Alas, I have been hurt by alcohol and sex, and I am so haggard..."
Afterwards, Liu Bai lay on the bed and sighed.
“Are people controlled by desires, or are people’s egos born out of desires from the very beginning?”
"..."
Nashida sat up from Liu Bai. Looking at his condition, she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh out loud.
“Didi, dog host, you only need to pay 100 million Mora system to help you solve this problem.”
The system's voice sounded in Liu Bai's ears.
"Alas, if you don't rely on your own efforts in life, and rely entirely on a broken system, how can you be considered successful..."
Liu Bai sighed again like last time.
"..."
"Ding Di, it is detected that the host does not need system assistance, and is being uninstalled..."
"Uninstallation completed, I wish you a happy life."
"?!!"
The next moment Liu Bai suddenly sat up from the bed holding Nashida.
"Fuck you, dog system, don't leave!"
