Chapter 138

The manor belonging exclusively to Luo Li!

Returning slowly from the Anemo Archon Plaza, he felt that another day had passed happily, feeling the refreshment of slacking off.

He finally understood why Venti liked to act as a guide rather than doing things himself.

"Welcome back."

The moment he pushed open the door, Raiden Makoto, wearing an apron, was kneeling at the entrance of the entryway waiting for the male master to return.

The short-hemmed apron could only hang to her thighs; due to the arc supported by her full bosom and the fact that she was sitting down, the apron shrank to the limit, revealing her moist, jade-like, slender and beautiful legs.

Luo Li had seen such a scene countless times, and every time he would be heart-thumping.

"I'm back."

Even his voice became gentle involuntarily. Luo Li stepped forward to embrace Raiden Makoto, who had stood up, and pecked her lips lightly.

Immediately, the two entered the hall. While Makoto served the dinner she had prepared, she asked about Dvalin.

Learning that Venti had once again taken Lumine and Fischl on the road to fight the Abyss Order to the death, she just nodded lightly.

Sitting at the dining table, supporting her chin with both hands and smiling as she watched him enjoy the dishes she had made with her own hands, Raiden Makoto was quite regretful.

"It's a pity there are no Sakura Blooms here, otherwise I would have wanted to make some Sakura Mochi for you to taste."

"There will always be an opportunity."

The two had a tacit understanding and didn't talk about when that opportunity would come.

After finishing the meal, seeing Makoto pick up a napkin to wipe the stains from the corners of his mouth, the arc revealed by her leaning forward too much, Luo Li coughed lightly and probed:

"Tonight, shall we rest early?"

Raiden Makoto smiled, seeing his undisguised burning gaze in her eyes.

After a long while, she replied slowly: "Then I'll go draw a bath now."

Unfortunately, this gradually brewing pink atmosphere was scattered by the suddenly knocked door.

"Luo Li, we're back! Open the door quickly!"

Venti's voice sounded resentful for some reason. While Luo Li was puzzled, he went to open the door while Makoto cleaned up the aftermath.

"How did you become so weak after just one trip out."

Staring at Venti, who was leaning against the door frame looking half-dead, he was confused.

Although he had experienced the erosion imposed by Heavenly Principles, it wasn't worth being completely drained just by purifying Dvalin once.

Sure enough, the Anemo Archon's stamina is just not good. Look at Morax next door, he can be both top and bottom, the Geo Archon is indeed much tougher.

Lumine, who was supporting him on the side, said in a deep voice: "He was sneak-attacked by the Fatui, and the Gnosis was snatched away."

Good guy, why is this plot so familiar, but the place has changed.

The point of heart-snatching changed from the Cathedral of Favonius to the Four Winds Temple.

Even if the details were changed, he still couldn't escape the fate of having his heart snatched; this guy is really unlucky!

Noticing Luo Li examining him with a subtle gaze, Venti was furious.

"What kind of look is that! It's not like it was your romantic debt, but I had to pay for it in the end!"

Luo Li wasn't happy: "Don't slander me, when did I ever incur a romantic debt."

Of course, that's what he said, but his brain began to spin rapidly, entering memories.

If we're talking about romantic debts, the ones he incurred were all in Inazuma and Liyue. Thinking carefully about Mondstadt, it seems there really weren't any.

"Still not admitting it! Later I'll tell Baal about your dirty business!"

Confirming he had nothing to fear, Luo Li cast a contemptuous look at this.

At this time, Raiden Makoto, who had finished cleaning up, poked her head over and asked in confusion: "What romantic debt did I just hear? What's going on?"

A moment later, the group was in the hall.

Lumine recounted the ins and outs of going to attack the Abyss Order; in the end, they indeed liberated Dvalin with concerted efforts, but halfway through, the Fatui suddenly appeared, sneak-attacking Venti while he was off guard and snatching the Gnosis. During this, Fischl added a few sentences to show her presence.

"That Fatui woman, he seems to know her."

Finally, Lumine looked at Venti, indicating that he should tell the rest.

After all, the only one who saw this scene with her own eyes was Paimon; they were still bitterly fighting Dvalin at that time.

Seeing everyone's gazes cast over, Venti squinted his eyes to meet Luo Li's gaze and hummed maliciously.

"The name Rosalyne, I presume someone is very familiar with it."

Luo Li: "..."

Wait, could it be that the one who snatched his heart was Rosalyne?!

That shouldn't be; he remembered that she didn't seem to meet Rostam before running to Sumeru to study.

Without the reason of a lover dying, did she turn dark anyway?

·· ·Seek flowers·· ········

He was stunned for a while, suddenly realizing that he seemed to be a "deceased person" on the surface.

This... world line convergence?!

Thinking that the simple and innocent girl back then still turned into the Crimson Witch of Embers, and then was incorporated under the Tsaritsa, Luo Li couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of fate.

Raiden Makoto glanced at him and didn't express an opinion on this.

"So, the Fatui's purpose is to collect the Gnosis?"

Venti had a lot to say about this question.

"That's right, it's expected that the next destination is Liyue or Inazuma. Of course, it's also possible they are doing it at the same time."

Seeing Venti's gloating expression, how could Luo Li not know what he was thinking.

Now the Electro Archon of Inazuma is Raiden Ei; wanting to get the Gnosis from her is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

If she gets angry, it's possible she might just slash them with a sword.

After all, Raiden Ei after turning dark is truly daunting.

Venti had the good fortune to see her once five hundred years later; she was completely not the same person he saw at the gathering of the Seven.

Listening to them discuss the Gnosis, Luo Li felt like an outsider at this moment.

But saying more was useless; the Gnosis had already been snatched away, and Venti didn't seem to want to get it back.

"Ahem, Lumine, come over, let's talk about collecting evidence of the Lawrence family's collusion."

Hearing it was serious business, Lumine came to sit beside him.

"Is there anything you need me to do?"

"Hmm, first you need to understand the etiquette of the Lawrence family. From tomorrow on, learn about this from me."

After speaking, Luo Li inexplicably felt like an NPC who kept issuing tasks.

The tool person obviously hadn't realized she was a tool person yet; perhaps she would have self-awareness after going to Liyue for a while.

"Remember, you shouldn't have a fixed place to rest. Just stay at my place tonight, so it's not troublesome to come over tomorrow."

The one happiest about Luo Li's proposal wasn't Lumine, but Paimon.

"Great, we finally don't have to spend money to find a place to stay!"

Symbols belonging to Mora bloomed in the eyes of the little money-grubber, and she clapped her hands in excitement.

Lumine held her forehead helplessly, speechless at her companion who had drilled into the money pit.
