Chapter 186

The sky over Mondstadt once again returned to a state thick with stars.

The bright moonlight shone upon Su Bai's youthful face.

Alice's breath hitched.

Especially that pair of eyes full of expectation from the other party made two words rise greatly in Alice's heart.

"Such a cute little boy..."

While Alice was dazed, she quickly forced herself to wake up.

Her gaze fixed on Su Bai as she asked, "The Anemo Archon's son?"

Su Bai: "Huh?"

Alice: "The Hydro Dragon?"

Su Bai: "???"

"Thank you." Alice patted her own head.

She felt she might have been overthinking it.

But, it must be said, this youthful boy before her truly has good luck.

Should she throw a bomb at him to test it and see how lucky he is?

Alice remained silent for a long time, her thoughts wracked with struggle.

She could confirm that with the power of her bombs, she could absolutely blast a four or five-year-old child until not even ash remained.

Moreover, she had truly never seen such bizarre weather.

This rainstorm vanished in an instant without a single sign.

It felt as if it didn't want the child before her to get wet.

"Wow! I really want to try what happens when he faces my bombs alone."

Alice's slender body trembled uncontrollably.

In the end, she only let out a sigh of relief: "Forget it, I'm not some kind of murderer."

"Off you go, kid. See you if fate allows."

Nahida: "Miss Alice, she actually really wanted to throw a bomb at Su Bai to see if he could be blown to death?"

Alice: "Didn't I give up on that idea? I'm not a maniacal killer."

Zhong Li: "Hmm..."

Hu Tao: "Everyone, be quiet. His Majesty the Geo Archon has something to say."

Azhdaha: "Hmph, Morax understands again."

Osial: "This time he really pulled it off."

Zhong Li: "....."

Zhong Li: "Personally, I feel Alice was controlled in her thoughts by some invisible force."

Alice: "His Majesty the Geo Archon is joking, right? Luck is indeed something that cannot be seen or touched, but there is no so-called effect that can control another person's thoughts."

Cloud Retainer: "How should I put it? It is precisely because Su Bai Lawrence's luck is good that you changed your mind and did not strike him."

Alice: "Why do I feel you all think I would really strike him?"

Moon Carver: "Have you forgotten that you once used our Liyue's Millelith to test your medicine, resulting in them becoming existences that endlessly repeat certain phrases?"

Alice: "(Tearing up) Sorry, was the result that bad?"

Zhong Li: "....."

Moon Carver: "....."

Yuan Shang: "After hearing everyone's exposure, I suddenly realized Lord Su is still the Lord Su of old, only lacking the word 'invincible' written on his face."

Lisa: "Currently, three known women have gotten involved with Su Bai Lawrence; the plot has become intricate and confusing."

Alice bid farewell to Su Bai and advanced toward the direction of the Great Snowy Mountain of Mondstadt.

Hindered by the late hour, she prepared to find a place to rest.

After luring the Hilichurls out of their tribe, she then threw several bombs.

All the Hilichurls instantly turned to dust and vanished.

This scene instantly made countless stars flash in Su Bai's eyes, who had been quietly following behind Alice.

Amazing...

This woman looks strange, acts strange, but her strength is truly terrifying.

She actually cleared an entire Hilichurl tribe with a casual gesture.

Su Bai was overjoyed, trailing all the way until Alice entered a house.

Peeking his head out quietly, Su Bai found Alice already lying on the floor with her back to his line of sight.

"Hey, I say..."

"What's wrong with you, kid? What do you want following me all this way?"

Alice's long voice echoed into Su Bai's ears.

Su Bai was stunned, just about to speak, when the other party continued with a playful tone: "Well? Did you take a fancy to big sister's beauty and want to sneak attack me?"

Incidentally, Alice turned her body and patted the floor: "Come, since you're so cute, come be big sister's pillow and let me hug you all night."

"Pfft!"

Furina, who was drinking tea, spat it out in one go.

"Evil, so evil."

"This woman named Alice actually doesn't even spare four or five-year-old children; listen to what she's saying."

The alook Clorinde cleared her throat, her face somewhat flushed.

"I don't really understand."

"All we can say is that Alice is just teasing Su Bai."

Fucalos looked at Lumine in confusion.

Lumine, however, appeared unusually calm.

She even kept nodding and praised, "No wonder Alice Young Lady—we should learn from her."

"We are still too immature."

Fucalos quickly analyzed Su Bai·Laurens's motive for chasing Alice: he wanted to learn the power within her.

After being indoctrinated with knightly ideals by Eula, Su Bai·Laurens's mind would surely grasp the most important thing hidden within.

That is, if one truly wishes to become a knight, one must first possess great strength.

"That means Alice is very likely to become Su Bai's Master."

"If their relationship is that of Master and disciple, then Alice should have been eliminated in this cycle."

The women snacked and sipped tea, discussing privately as if watching a drama.

But Alechino's final opinion was firmly rejected by Lumine.

"I think it's not that significant."

"Once, while traveling through other worlds, I came across stories similar to novels."

"Some even mentioned a bitter romance between Master and disciple."

"They called such a disciple a 'Master-Defying Disciple.'"

Lumine explained seriously to the others.

But the others merely stared blankly, their silence answering her.

Lumine helplessly shrugged: "Honestly, I don't even understand what these terms mean anymore—I just feel this Master-disciple relationship won't greatly affect Alice and Su Bai·Laurens."

【Beauty?】

【Su Bai had no idea what Alice was talking about.】

【He looked at Alice's exquisite face and her pointed ears.】

【Clearly, in Su Bai's mind, the woman before him did not match his sense of beauty.】

【In fact, Su Bai thought Alice was less beautiful than Eula, and even less beautiful than Jean, whom he had met only once.】

【Overall, Alice gave Su Bai the feeling that her appearance was strange.】

【"Um..."】

【"Ahem..."】

【Su Bai tugged at his sleeve corner and looked solemnly at Alice.】
