Chapter 801: The Laid-back Mondstadt

Compared to Lady Vennessa, he considered himself quite lucky.

At the very least, he wouldn't end up as that kind of fodder.

She could tell that although Seeing Mu Yang wasn't a man who was exclusively devoted to one person, he was still a decent man.

"Let's go," Seeing Mu Yang said softly to Jean, "let's go have some lunch."

"Eh, but I..." Hearing that Seeing Mu Yang wanted to take her out to eat, Jean said with some bashfulness, "It's a bit inconvenient."

Although yesterday was Barbara's main event, Jean had borne the brunt of the pressure; after all, she had done it to protect Barbara.

Otherwise, Barbara might have been left a bloody mess today, but even for Jean, her condition today wasn't much better.

Jean's tolerance was far greater than Barbara's, and her own strength was significantly stronger; Jean was, at any rate, already close to cultivating to the Golden Core stage.

Whereas Barbara was only at the Qi Refining stage... and still quite a distance away from Foundation Establishment.

After all, Barbara's foundation was still a bit lacking; even if Jean hadn't joined the chat group, she was still the most outstanding knight in Mondstadt and one of its most formidable powerhouses.

And after joining the chat group, Jean had gained experience by following Barbatos; that kind of leveling speed, like riding a high-speed train, wasn't something even full-effort purification of Abyssal power could match.

Mondstadt didn't have that many monsters now, and Jean knew she couldn't compare to Lord Barbatos.

Later, she would take Barbara to Musk Reef to purify the Abyssal power there and help Barbara improve her strength.

"Uh, alright. I'll send you home, and I'll go bring back some food so we can all eat together," Seeing Mu Yang said, rubbing his nose with some embarrassment. "I also need to go get some medicine."

Yes, Seeing Mu Yang would never admit that he wanted to apply the medicine for Barbara himself.

That should be a very interesting thing to do; it would be quite romantic, simply delightful.

"Okay!" Hearing Seeing Mu Yang's words, Jean didn't refuse this time.

For the next two days, Seeing Mu Yang stayed in Mondstadt to accompany Barbara and Jean. Because both of them had injuries, Seeing Mu Yang spent the time accompanying them as they slowly recuperated.

Of course, Seeing Mu Yang didn't just "eat vegetables" during this time.

Although Barbara and the others had injuries, it wasn't as if he could only deal with the wounds.

Seeing Mu Yang was no longer the naive novice who understood nothing; he had learned quite a bit of forbidden knowledge and was someone who could put that forbidden knowledge into practice.

"Alright, ten billion Mora will be transferred to Mondstadt's account later. This plot of land belongs to me from now on," Alice said with a giggle as she looked at the contract.

This time, while Jean was in charge of everything regarding the purchase of such a large piece of land, those fellows had still caused Alice quite a bit of trouble.

There were actually people who demanded she donate a certain amount to Mondstadt every year, and some even talked about getting their hands on the amusement park, wanting to claim shares or something.

Good grief, truly good grief; Alice herself was so angry she laughed.

Were these guys really that eager to die?

They were already on the verge of ruin and didn't even know it, yet they still came to cause her trouble. Did they really think she was easy to bully?

Back in the day when she was still in Mondstadt, no one dared to speak to her like that. Could it be that Barbatos had returned, giving these people more confidence?

Or did she look like someone who was easy to bully?

Jean felt a wave of helplessness regarding these matters, and at the same time, she made a decision: perhaps she really did need to strike hard against the Mondstadt nobility.

The policy of unswervingly striking against the Mondstadt nobility would remain unchanged for a thousand years!

And after Alice talked about those messy affairs in the chat group, even the good-tempered Barbatos couldn't stand it anymore.

This wasn't just losing face within Mondstadt; it was losing face across the entire Teyvat continent!!

Fortunately, such things actually existed everywhere. If it weren't for that, Venti would probably have gone directly to cause them trouble and blown those so-called nobles into the sky.

Good grief, you couldn't be found when it was time to fight the Abyssal monsters, but when it came time to claim benefits, you were faster than anyone, weren't you?!

In Alice's view, these guys were also targets that had to be eliminated.

It was fortunate that Klee was no longer in Mondstadt. If she had stayed, no one knew if the future Klee would be exploited by these shameless fellows.

Kaeya had previously used Klee to find amusement; there was no guarantee others wouldn't use Klee as well.

Klee was her daughter, her precious treasure. In Alice's heart, Klee was more important than her own life.

Whoever wanted to hurt Klee or use Klee was her enemy to the death!

"This land will be under your responsibility to develop, Miss Alice. I hope you can develop it as soon as possible," Jean said, staring at Alice.

During this time, Jean was also very busy, not just because Alice's affairs required haggling with those people.

There were also other matters.

For example, after many people in Mondstadt learned that the Archon's grudge at the Stormterror's Lair had been resolved, some people started having ideas about that place.

It wasn't that they wanted to develop it like Alice, buying the land, but rather they wanted to expand their own fiefdoms.

Yes, in Mondstadt, those knights actually had fiefdoms, especially the nobles; many of the great nobles actually had quite a few fiefdoms.

Those guys invoked their ancestors, claiming they had once followed Lord Barbatos to overthrow the tyrant of the High Tower, Decarabian, and had rendered meritorious service to Mondstadt.

Upon hearing these words, Jean really wanted to shout "Good grief."

If these guys knew that Decarabian had now been resurrected, she wondered if they would still be able to say such things.

And according to these nobles, they demanded that the Stormterror's Lair be made their fiefdom—yes, the kind where they wouldn't pay a single Mora.

This angered Jean quite a bit; sometimes she even wished she could take out her weapon and go cause those guys trouble.

Alas, Jean was Jean after all; even with strength far exceeding theirs, she still had her own persistence.

"Rest assured, I just hope Mondstadt can develop the neighboring land quickly. After all, my amusement park still needs a large population to support it," Alice said to Jean with a pointed meaning.

"We will work hard, Miss Alice," Jean nodded slightly.

Regarding the Stormterror's Lair, Jean had actually found a way to handle it; she planned to rebuild a city.

Mondstadt was actually a bit small now.

But expanding Mondstadt city was very difficult; after all, Cider Lake was right next to it.

Since Liyue could rebuild the Guili Plains, why couldn't they rebuild the Stormterror's Lair?

Guili Plains was once the location of Liyue, and the Stormterror's Lair was once the location of Old Mondstadt.

Guili Plains couldn't be rebuilt because of the Archon's grudge.

The Stormterror's Lair couldn't be rebuilt because of Decarabian's Archon grudge.

Now the Archon's grudge in Guili Plains had been resolved.

Now the Archon's grudge in the Stormterror's Lair had also been resolved.

What a coincidence!

Now that Guili Plains had been rebuilt by Keqing and the others, to be honest, it was impossible for Jean not to be envious.

It wasn't just Jean who was envious; other countries would also envy Liyue.

If they could, who wouldn't want to develop their own country like that?

Everyone could see that as long as Liyue could rebuild Guili Plains, its comprehensive strength would continuously improve, both in terms of economy and population.

Mondstadt also needed to build a new branch city; this was what Jean had decided.

And for the people of Mondstadt, this seemed to be a good thing.

The only thing she needed to struggle with was that she needed to balance various factions, and those factions were constantly haggling. At this moment, Jean also felt that the plans of Seeing Mu Yang and Barbatos could be accelerated.

Like this, she was already exhausted.

She really didn't want to continue haggling with those guys anymore.
