Chapter 178

~6 min read 1,102 words

Su Bai: "Don't scare me; you're making me sweat profusely."

Dvalin: "Hahaha, does Su Ye have something to fear?"

Scaramouche: "Su Ye has a soft heart; how could he abandon his own child for power?"

【"Uncle, give me a piece of bread."】

【The little boy looked at the prices on the shop's menu.】

【He spread out his small hand.】

【The scattered Mora in his hand seemed enough only for one piece of bread.】

【But a brilliant smile still hung on his face.】

【The tempting aroma wafting from the shop made him wrinkle his nose as he waited expectantly for the shopkeeper.】

Eula: "Oh my, seeing a face full of expectation on the child's face, it feels as if he's never eaten such fragrant... uh... bread?"

Kamisato Ayaka: "This is truly a bit pitiful."

Venti: "Old Su, we in Mondstadt overthrew the nobility's rule a thousand years ago; where are there children like in the reincarnation stories now? What exactly did you do this time? As the Grand Master of the Knights, your son is so miserable."

Su Bai: "This..."

Aether: "Lumine, if we have children in the future, we can't let Su Bai raise them; the son is as miserable as a street wanderer."

Lumine: "That was a past-life reincarnation; our children in this life won't be allowed to be like that."

Paimon: "If we have children in this life, we must find some strict mothers to discipline them severely, otherwise they'll get bloated because conditions are too good."

Scaramouche: "Please find Baal..."

Raiden Ei: "?????"

Chapter 104: Eula Holds a Grudge, Jean's Hips Are Long, Draw Your Swords

【The shopkeeper handed the bread to the little boy and asked with a smile, "Are you from Liyue?"】

【There are many children in Mondstadt, but few like the one before him.】

【Jet-black hair, refined and symmetrical features.】

【No matter from what angle one looked, the child before him did not seem like a local child of Mondstadt; rather, he shared some common traits with people from Liyue.】

【"No..."】

【The boy devoured the bread, his glassy eyes rolling once as he asked curiously, "I am a Mondstadt citizen."】

【"Where is Liyue?"】

【"Hmm, a Mondstadt citizen, then?" The shopkeeper curiously stroked his chin.】

【Do Mondstadt children come in this style?】

【Truly rare.】

【"What is your name?"】

【With nothing else to do, the shopkeeper took an interest in the cute boy before him and asked an extra question.】

【"Oh, my name is Su Bai..."】

【"Su Bai?" The shopkeeper froze, then burst into laughter, holding his belly: "Hahaha, and you say you're not from Liyue."】

【"Your name reeks of Liyue."】

【"I haven't finished yet." Su Bai swallowed the bread: "My name is Su Bai..."】

【"Su Bai Lawrence."】

Inside the tavern.

Eula recoiled in shock, nearly falling from her chair to the ground.

"Law..."

"Lawrence?"

Su Bai Lawrence.

The moment the name came out, the boy's identity was exposed.

Without a doubt, he was not Su Bai's son, but Su Bai himself.

It was just unclear why Su Bai had reincarnated into someone like himself, becoming a member of the Lawrence family.

But, in Mondstadt, this was not a good thing.

Eula: "Su Su Su... Mr. Su Bai has actually reincarnated into our Lawrence family..."

Lisa: "Sigh, this is truly a huge trouble."

Kamisato Ayaka: "Lawrence? I seem to have heard of them; their reputation in Mondstadt doesn't seem very good."

Paimon: "Not just not good; it's deadly."

Lumine: "This... my Su Ye has actually reincarnated as a member of the Lawrences, and he's in Mondstadt; his name is clearly Liyue-style..."

Zhong Li: "Hmm, clearly from our Liyue, yet he has never appeared in Liyue."

Venti: "No, his avatar once went to take your Gnosis."

Furina: "Eh, what's wrong with the Lawrences?"

Jean: "Sigh... this kind of matter is better left for Eula to explain..."

Eula: "Me?"

Family shame must not be aired publicly, do you understand, Acting Grand Master Jean?

Eula rubbed her head in distress.

"Sigh, since things have come to this, there's nothing wrong with saying it."

Eula: "Truly impressive, Grand Master Jean; I'll record this grudge first. 570.."

She vented a complaint.

Eula still explained Lawrence's past to everyone in the live stream.

When Varka overthrew the nobles, the main target was the violent rule of the Lawrence family, restoring freedom to the people of Mondstadt.

Then she founded the Knights of Favonius.

Since then, the people of the Lawrence family were branded as sinners by Mondstadt and expelled from Mondstadt.

Of course, some Lawrences who did not oppress the common people back then were allowed to stay in Mondstadt.

But even so, the people of Mondstadt still hated them in their hearts and ostracized them in every aspect of life.

Nahida: "Eh? Then isn't Su Bai in a terrible situation? Such a small child, if he suffers ostracism, he might not even have basic living security."

Yuan Shang: "This is a disaster. I thought Su Ye would still descend upon Mondstadt with an air of superiority, but now I see, how did he end up like this?"

Kaeya: "But Su Bai's status is not low. He is the Grand Master of the Stormwind Knights, the other Grand Master after Grand Master Varka, and he is a Lawrence. This is not something just anyone can achieve."

Eula: "You... what do you mean... can't a Lawrence become a Grand Master..."

Lumine: "I remember Eula has given so much, yet the people of Mondstadt still don't treat her well. When she got drunk, she even asked me how to make so many friends."

Eula: "Hey, Lumine, you've gotten arrogant. Saying such things in the live stream? I have friends too, I..."

Paimon: "I've noted this grudge."

Amber: "Stop teasing Eula, she's about to cry."

Eula: "I'm not crying."

Jean: "I see. Since Su Bai has become a member of the Lawrence family, then his wife..."

Lisa: "Jean, you have no chance now. Eula has taken the top spot."

Eula: "Hey..."

Paimon: "With so many enemies in the live stream, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish noting them all."

Diluc: "It's strange. How exactly did the name Su Bai Lawrence come about?"

Zhong Li: "Mondstadt plus Liyue, indeed, it is somewhat strange."

【Su Bai Lawrence?】

【When hearing the three words "Lawrence," the cake shop owner's expression suddenly changed drastically.】

【"Hmph! So it's someone from the Lawrence family."】

【"What bad luck."】

【"And a Lawrence who is neither one thing nor the other. Get lost, don't stand at my door and affect my business."】

【Huh?】

【The sudden change in the cake shop owner's attitude left Su Bai stunned.】
