Chapter 251

"Let us meet again in six hundred years."

Mount Aocang, Liyue.

A mournful cry came from the stone table under the tree shade.

"Damn it, I lost it all again."

"It's over, it's over. Morax won't give me money anymore. He said giving too much would cause Liyue's Mora to depreciate, and inflation would be a huge problem."

"By the way, what does inflation mean?"

The Long Wang of the Aged Dragon glared through gritted teeth at the pile of Mora stacked before Su Bai.

The Yakshas were equally dejected.

The salary for guarding Liyue had ended up in Su Bai's hands.

For this period, we can truly only survive by catching some wild game in the mountain streams.

Only the Heart Ape sighed in relief, saying, "Fortunately, what I lost were all unsellable clothes."

"I'm curious; besides the Anning Zhenjun and the Prince of the Rock, the clothes I design simply have no market."

"Who told you to always focus on making men's clothes?" Su Bai counted the Mora he had won on the table, in high spirits.

He also took the hand of Seeing Shenhe, who had been following him closely.

"This black qipao you designed specifically for Seeing Shenhe is quite good."

"If you switch to selling women's clothes, you will surely earn a lot."

The Water Yaksha could not agree, laughing, "The key is that there are hardly any figures in Liyue as good as Seeing Shenhe's."

"They can't pull off that look."

"Sometimes I really envy Seeing Shenhe. What does she eat to grow like that? Unfortunately, I've lived so long that my figure has long been set."

Hearing the praise from the Water Yaksha, Seeing Shenhe's pretty face immediately flushed red.

Her delicate body couldn't help but lean a bit against Su Bai.

"Then just expand your business to Mondstadt, Inazuma, Sumeru, Natlan, Snezhnaya, Fontaine."

"Women's love of beauty is innate; there's no way there wouldn't be a market."

"Good idea." The Heart Ape General's eyes lit up, and he sighed, "Truly, our Anning Zhenjun understands everything."

"If all else fails, just organize a beauty pageant or something, specially design one for our Three-Eyed Five-Visions Immortal Xiao, my lord, and have Immortal Xiao walk the stage for a round."

Su Bai's words immediately drew everyone's gaze to Xiao.

Xiao paused, coughed lightly, and said, "I say, Zhenjun, the dance you taught me seven years ago, I always felt you were setting me up. I haven't had the chance to ask you clearly yet, and now you're starting to plot against me again."

"And as an Immortal, I do not leave the mountain."

"Wait a moment." The Long Wang of the Aged Dragon, with a short temper, interrupted the conversation of the others and asked urgently, "You still haven't explained to me what exactly Morax means?"

"Inflation, you ask?"

Su Bai rubbed his chin, looking at the Mora before him.

He slowly explained, "It means if there is too much extra Mora, it will cause the Mora to lose its original value, thereby leading to the collapse of market prices."

"But I say, Long Wang, the Lord of the Rock only gives you ten or eight thousand Mora each time; honestly, it won't have a huge impact."

"So that means..." The Long Wang of the Aged Dragon's expression tightened slightly, and black lines immediately covered his face.

"Yeah, he just simply doesn't want to give it to you. If you go bother him again, remember to ask for more next time; otherwise, our whole family will have to drink the northwest wind."

As soon as Su Bai finished speaking, the Five Yakshas suddenly covered their mouths collectively, trying their best not to laugh out loud.

The Long Wang of the Aged Dragon: "....."

"Fine, fine, fine. Good for you, Morax. So you've been teasing me all along."

"You all wait. I'm going to find him to get Mora right now. We'll fight again later; next time, I will definitely kill you all until not a single piece of armor remains."

"Su Bai, if your whole family ends up drinking the northwest wind by then, don't blame me."

Paimon: "Eh? Is this the normal life of Liyue Harbor, or is it..."

Buer: "It feels like Liyue during the Demonized Su Bai Era. Xiao said that seven years ago Su Bai taught him to dance..."

Xiao: "I'm not quite sure. After all, we are all long-lived beings; seven years is merely a blink of an eye."

Alhaitham: "I also think it is a scene from the Demonized Su Bai Era, proving that everything has changed."

Ganyu: "Seeing Shenhe is actually playing Pai Gow with Su Bai, the Long Wang, and the Yakshas."

Seeing Shenhe: "(Shy · Kamisato Ayaka)"

The Long Wang of the Aged Dragon: "Hehehe, so Morax is still teasing me."

Hu Tao: "You should be content. He still gives you money to spend; all his own expenses are paid by me."

The Long Wang of the Aged Dragon: "Where would I get money? My Mora is all in Su Bai's hands. If inflation really happens, it's Boss Su's problem."

Lumine: "After experiencing a thousand years of time, my Lord Su has also become shameless."

Tianquan Ningguang: "There's no way. After all, almost all the Anning Ju are working for free."

Paimon: "By universal reason, ten or eight thousand Mora is nothing; it simply cannot cause an impact."

Lumine: "That's right. After all, the Prince of the Rock, with just one word, takes everything. The fee for one single request tops far too many ten or eight thousands."

Zhong Li: "..."

"Su Bai, Seeing Shenhe..."

"Come home for dinner."

At this moment, a clear voice of joy came from the distance.

Everyone looked up.

The person approaching was none other than the senior sister of the Anning Zhenjun, Ganyu.

【"Alright, let's go. We'll play again when we have time."】

【Su Bai held Seeing Shenhe's hand, bid farewell to the crowd, and walked toward Ganyu's direction.】

【Halfway there, Su Bai suddenly stopped, raised his head, and took a long look into the distance.】

【Seeing Shenhe was puzzled. Her beautiful eyes blinked lightly a few times as she asked, "Senior Brother, what's wrong?"】

【"No..."】

【"It's nothing."】

【Su Bai smiled, pinched Seeing Shenhe's cheek, then turned his gaze toward Ganyu, who was waiting for the two of them.】

【"Let's go. Senior Sister is waiting for us to eat."】

【...】

Furina: "Strange, why did Su Bai suddenly pause for a moment at 607? Did something else happen?"

Focalors: "That's not right. It should be that he sensed the world he was in was caused by changes in the past. He should be the demonized Su Bai."

Nahida: "I'm so confused right now. Did the people who went to the battlefield completely disappear, or did they return to the past timeline?"】

Buer: "They should have returned to the past timeline."】

Nahida: "Then the question arises. If they returned to the past timeline, their memories would contain what happened six hundred years ago. The future versions of them would also have memories of the great battle from six hundred years ago in their minds."】

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: "Memories can be tampered with and erased. Even if they returned to the original timeline, their memories would be wiped clean."】

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: "Although the past-life timeline looks chaotic, it has always been a single line. Because the Su Bai from six hundred years ago was not parasitized, he would not enter a demonized state, and the future world would be stable."】

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: "Moreover, the Su Bai from six hundred years ago, in order to prevent the future from deviating, seems to have not interfered with anything that followed."】

Alhaitham: "The past, present, and future all exist. As long as the past changes, the future will change accordingly."】

Buer: "But it feels like the future Su Bai still sensed something."】

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: "It's not necessarily that he sensed something. I feel he should know everything."】

Neuvillette: "It's because, as a Descender, he is too powerful, and Heavenly Principles has no way to deal with him."】

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: "Yes, there is that aspect of reason. The most direct point is that the Su Bai from six hundred years ago knew the truth of the matter. Even if the future changed, the him who arrived in the future already knew everything that had happened in the past, so his future self knows the truth of these events."】

Furina: "It feels so messy, my brain is all knotted up."】

Lumine: "With that said, Su Ye cherishes the present life even more. But speaking of which, I hadn't noticed before—Seeing Shenhe in that black qipao really has an amazing figure."】

Hu Tao: "Wuwuwu, I'm officially jealous. Do you think if I grow a few more years, I could become like Seeing Shenhe?"】

Lisa: "Wow! It really is amazing. Especially set off by that outfit—the black qipao makes Seeing Shenhe's legs look even fairer."】

Ye Er: "High heels lift the butt, tsk tsk tsk, your Mondstadt Acting Grand Master Jean is completely outclassed."】

Jean: "Huh?"】

Eula: "Who said that? It's just that our Acting Grand Master Jean is wrapped up too tightly. Put her in a qipao and she wouldn't lose to Seeing Shenhe at all."】
