Protagonist:
Xuan Ge
"Hehe, how come your pitch is so terrible? Do you shout a lot during battles?"
Rosalind sat by the fence, looking curiously at the heroic-looking black-armored man beside her.
From that singing just now until now, she already knew this person was from Liyue.
Because the style of this armor was completely different from the Knights of Favonius.
"It's alright, actually I really haven't sung much."
Xuan Ge scratched his head; he truly hadn't sung before, and like Xing Xiao, he was tone-deaf.
Usually, aside from listening to Robin's songs, he couldn't muster any interest in others.
"But I still really like your singing voice; it's very pleasant to hear."
Xuan Ge turned to Rosalind; this compliment was spoken openly and frankly.
He even already had the scenes arranged in his mind right now.
Later when he had free time, Rosalind would sing, Yu Yu Qian Dai would dance, the three Raiden sisters would pour drinks on the side;
Fox Yae would massage him with her big tail, the Divine Child would nestle in his arms as a hand warmer, Xianyun would sit to the side telling stories.
This scene was simply too wonderful; who says Teyvat isn't good?
"Mmm~" Rosalind's cheeks flushed red from this straightforward praise, and she lowered her head somewhat shyly to look at her feet... then at her chest.
When this person wasn't singing, his voice was deep and magnetic.
And when he smiled, there was an indescribable attractiveness between his brows, hooking her into feeling inexplicably lightheaded.
'Wait wait!' Thinking of this, Rosalind violently raised her hands to cover her burning cheeks.
What on earth was she thinking wildly about? She had clearly only just met this person.
"What's wrong? Is the sky too hot?"
Xuan Ge asked while casting his gaze toward the distant rooftops.
That guy Venti had been lying on the roof sneakily peeping ever since he entered the city.
Especially the moment he and Rosalind started talking, Venti was simply like an opened champagne bottle.
He hid behind the roof ridge, occasionally leaking out a stifled chuckle or two; it was hard not to notice his movements.
Venti received Xuan Ge's meaningful look and immediately understood.
Then he raised his hand and sent out a mischievous breeze, precisely brushing toward Rosalind and Xuan Ge's direction.
Rosalind, who was tangled in her heart over whether she counted as love at first sight, had no guard against this sudden wind at all.
Only hearing her skirt flap with a whoosh as it billowed up, she subconsciously reached out to hold it down.
But she happened to be leaning against the fence; in her panic, her body violently swayed, and her whole person tilted straight backward.
'Worthy of Old Ba, a top-tier wingman the moment he acts.'
Xuan Ge mentally gave Venti a huge merit mark and decided on the spot to add another wine planet to the originally promised one.
All charged to Sha Jin's account.
Xuan Ge reached out and caught Rosalind in a princess carry, then said with a smile: "Since it's hot, I'll take you to a cooler place."
Not waiting for Rosalind to answer, Xuan Ge leaped up, landing on the Anemo Archon statue's spread giant palm.
He casually laid down an invisible barrier above their heads; the scorching sunlight was gently blocked outside, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped.
Venti saw from afar that layer of invisible power silently enveloping half the sky and couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Damn, Xuan Ge even uses this move to pick up girls; looks like Mondstadt is a guaranteed win this round."
"Mm, this... this isn't quite right, this is the Anemo Archon's statue."
Rosalind lay in Xuan Ge's arms, her palm subconsciously stroking the armor plates on his chest.
"Leave it to the wind's guidance; the Anemo Archon agrees ten thousand times over."
The moment Xuan Ge finished speaking, another gentle breeze brushed lightly past the two of them, like the Anemo Archon himself applauding.
Rosalind's nervousness was soothed by this gentle wind; only then did she speak softly with a red face: "Then... then put me down."
Xuan Ge didn't refuse; he gently set her down to sit to the side, then reached out to carefully tidy the hem of her little white dress that the wind had messed up.
"How is it? Still hot now that you're here?"
He looked at Rosalind sitting obediently beside him and couldn't help but marvel inwardly at how intense this contrast was.
Five hundred years later, Rosalind had the bearing of a composed, calm, everything-in-control confidante big sister.
While right now, she was more like a youthful girl just awakening to love, who would blush even from eye contact.
Except this girl's figure was already somewhat supermodel-like in her youth; she couldn't see her toes when she looked down.
Looks like Hua and Hei Ta definitely didn't like drinking milk when they were little.
When we get back, I absolutely must make Silver Wolf drink more; she must not be malnourished.
"Not hot anymore, very cool."
Rosalind secretly glanced at Xuan Ge beside her, then carefully scooted a little closer to his side, her voice still carrying a few hints of timidity.
"It's... it's just a bit high up."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xuan Ge comforted her softly, but restrained himself from reaching out to touch her.
Although he was always called scum by Xing Xiao, that was purely because he wanted to give all the big ones a home.
That was why Xing Xiao found herself calling it more and more naturally.
He actually had principles; after all, a good hunter always needs patience.
"Mm." Rosalind nodded, raising a hand to lightly smooth back the strands of hair the wind had blown across her ear.
He really is so gentle, and he has this warm, jade-like feeling about him, very captivating.
Not far away, Alan Delin and Rustam watched in silence the man and woman sitting side by side on the Anemo Archon statue.
Just now the two had wanted to step forward and stop them, but the Anemo Archon personally blew a wind that brooked no refusal, telling them plainly.
Don't go disturb them.
That made the two of them completely behave; it seems the rumor that General Shennwei fought and decisively defeated the Geo Archon Morax is actually true.
"Hey, I recognize this girl."
Alan Delin looked at the shy girl beside Xuan Ge, then suddenly turned his head toward Rustam.
"A few days ago when you returned from a mission, didn't you stop and listen to her sing in the square?"
"I only paused for a moment while passing by; I don't know her." Rustam shook his head slightly.
That day he finished his mission and returned to Mondstadt, exhausted in body and mind, and happened to be stopped in his tracks by a song.
But he had never had any real interaction with this girl, so he didn't care about the matter in the slightest.
Rather, the Anemo Archon's clear warning just now made him keenly feel a trace of inexplicable crisis.
The Anemo Archon personally blew a wind telling the two of them not to disturb General Shennwei.
The information revealed behind this is truly enormous.
First is naturally the authenticity of that fight between General Shennwei and the Geo Archon.
Second... the Anemo Archon seems to quite appreciate General Shennwei, and the current situation, however you look at it, looks like he's openly trying to poach the Geo Archon's corner.
"Rosalind, hurry up, Mondstadt's great undertaking you can achieve with just a little effort!"
Venti lay prone on the eaves, sticking his butt up, so anxious he almost shouted out loud.
How does this Rosalind just know to sit there blushing and shy from Xuan Ge's teasing, without a shred of initiative?
Does she not know what "too many wolves, too little meat, first come first served" means?
Liyue's side has Xianyun and two Yakshas watching like tigers, Inazuma has basically completely fallen.
And his Mondstadt, right now the only one who can be counted on is Rosalind alone.
So he's anxious, anxious like a king on a hot stove.
"Yo, why are you lying prone here?"
A voice, somewhat bewitching yet inexplicably carrying a few notes of lazy listlessness, suddenly sounded behind Venti.
Venti looked back; the newcomer was precisely Alice.
He was about to open his mouth to greet her, but his gaze involuntarily swept over Alice's slightly bulging lower abdomen.
"You're pregnant?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Alice's ear roots instantly reddened, then she forcibly changed the subject.
"What are you sneakily looking at here?"
"Nothing... nothing at all." Venti's eyes began to dodge; he truly didn't want this demon pill to run off and ruin Xuan Ge's good thing.
Venti obviously didn't know Alice had long since been personally stuffed into a puff by Xuan Ge.
He simply didn't want this always mischievous Alice to find Xuan Ge.
"I see Liyue's army stationed outside the city; looks like distinguished guests have come to Mondstadt, why don't you go take a look?"
Alice didn't know what schemes Venti was cooking in his belly, but she was quite certain Xuan Ge had definitely come.
After recovering in Xuan Ge's small world, she set off directly for Mondstadt to wait for him.
Midway she happened to see Liyue's great army garrisoned outside Mondstadt, and couldn't help but speed up her steps.
As soon as she entered the city, she saw the Anemo Archon sticking his butt up lying prone on a roof, looking like a peeping tom, which drew her attention.
"Uh hehe, why would I go? Mondstadt has the Grand Master holding the fort, naturally no need for this Anemo Archon to step out."
Venti laughed it off while keenly stepping forward a pace.
He blocked the line of sight toward the Anemo Archon statue, while simultaneously mobilizing wind sound to send an urgent alert to Xuan Ge:
Hurry up and make your move, if you don't move now, a demon pill is about to come kill over.
Receiving the wind sound alert, Xuan Ge decided instantly, turning his head to look at Rosalind beside him.
"Want to accompany me to go see the thousands of mountains and myriad waters outside?"
"Ah?" Rosalind was struck by this blunt, utterly undisguised line until she almost had white smoke puffing from the top of her head.
He... he's confessing to me?
Wouldn't this progress be a bit too fast?
'GKD, Rosalind, if you don't hurry up you're going to get caught.'
Xuan Ge silently counted one second in his heart; seeing her whole person still frozen in place, he directly reached out and steadily scooped her up horizontally.
"As a return gift for the singing, this General will take you out for a spin."
Not waiting for Rosalind to answer, Xuan Ge's figure vanished from the spot like flowing light.
Seeing Venti acting strangely, clearly hiding something, Alice's mind instantly associated it with Xuan Ge.
She gave a crafty smile, unleashing that sure-fire move Venti falls for a hundred percent: "Look, Morax."
"Where where?" Venti put on a show of looking around, his body extremely cooperatively shifting aside.
Alice seized the chance to look behind him, but discovered there was nothing there.
This made her unable to help but feel full of doubt.
