Chapter 161 - Chapter 161: A Responsible Brother

[T/N Annoucement:

Ahem—this humble one has dared to translate a new tale: "The Player with Hack in the Marvel World." Yes, you read that right. One player, one cheat-level hack system, and a whole multiverse of trouble (and Tony Stark ego) to stir up.

Your support fuels this daoist soul. 🙇‍♂️✨]

Qiu Xue watched the two people holding hands.

"Ahem..."

"Mr. Tartaglia, shouldn't you shake my hand as well?"

Qiu Xue looked at Tartaglia in front of her and smiled gently.

Hearing this, Qiu Yue and Childe released each other hands.

"Of course."

Childe extended his hand toward Qiu Xue.

"Hehe."

"Let me teach you a lesson for flirting with my sister."

Qiu Xue schemed cunningly in her heart as her delicate hand grasped Tartaglia.

"Ah, ouch, ouch, ouch!"

"Miss Qiu Xue, please let go!"

Childe suddenly felt a surge of pain and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Hahaha."

Qiu Yue covered her mouth and giggled from the side.

"Hmph."

Qiu Xue released Childe hand and gave a light snort.

"Why is Miss Qiu Xue suddenly angry?"

Childe looked at Qiu Xue, asking somewhat puzzledly.

"I don't know either." said Qiu Yue, covering her mouth and laughing.

"But may I ask Miss Qiu Yue..."

"Could you help me deliver something to Teucer?"

Childe looked at Qiu Yue in front of him and asked with a smile.

Then Childe took out a Ruin Guard toy from his clothes.

"This was specially made for me by a blacksmith a long time ago."

"I had planned to take it back to Snezhnaya to give to him, but now it seems it would be better as a souvenir of our journey."

Childe looked at the toy in his hand and said with a gentle smile.

"Leave it to me, Mr. Tartaglia."

"Are you leaving now?"

Qiu Yue took the toy from Childe hand and asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's right. I still have some matters to attend to on my end."

"I'll leave Teucer's affairs to you, Miss Qiu Yue."

Childe nodded.

"I'll stay here a bit longer."

"If fate allows, we'll meet again, ladies. Thank you both."

Childe looked at the two sisters in front of him and thanked them sincerely.

Qiu Yue looked at the toy in her hand and nodded with a smile.

"Teucer, come quick! Your sister has found your brother for you!"

Qiu Xue shouted loudly toward the outside.

"Brother! Where are you?"

Upon hearing the call, Teucer quickly ran over.

"Brother! I found you!"

"How sneaky, hiding here!"

Teucer ran in and said happily, looking at Childe.

Childe looked at Qiu Xue, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

He couldn't understand how he had angered Miss Qiu Xue.

"Ahaha, well done, Teucer."

"Look what your sister Qiu Yue has prepared for you!"

Childe scratched his head and said with a smile, looking at Teucer in front of him.

"Wow, it's a Mr. Cyclops toy!"

"Sister Qiu Yue is the best!"

Teucer held up the one-eyed toy and happily spun around in a circle.

"Teucer, this was custom-made by your brother for you."

"It wasn't me." said Qiu Yue gently, patting Teucer little head.

"Brother is the best too!"

Teucer looked at his brother happily.

"What about me?"

Qiu Xue looked at Teucer with her hands on her hips.

"Sister Qiu Xue is good too."

"You helped Teucer find his brother!"

Teucer looked at Qiu Xue and nodded happily.

"Teucer, I keep my promises."

"Brother will take you back to Snezhnaya."

Childe squatted down, looking at Teucer in front of him and speaking seriously.

"Teucer understands."

"Brother made Teucer very happy playing together!"

Teucer hugged the Mr. Cyclops toy in his arms, looking at Childe in front of him and nodding with a smile.

"Good, then we'll be taking our leave, ladies."

"Come, Teucer, say goodbye to your two sisters."

Childe patted Teucer's head and said with a smile.

"Yes, goodbye, big sisters!"

"Come visit Snezhnaya sometime!"

Teucer waved at Qiu Xue and Qiu Yue, then followed Childe toward the exit of the ruins.

During this process, Childe looked back, nodding with a smile to Qiu Xue and Qiu Yue.

Then he walked out.

After a while, Qiu Xue held Qiu Yue hand and also walked out, looking at the ruins from outside.

"Let's destroy this place."

Qiu Xue flipped her jade hand, and a chaos-surfaced sword appeared in her hand.

She performed an elegant sword flourish.

Then with a casual slash forward, instantly, the entire ruins were destroyed.

"Let's go, Qiu Yue."

Then Qiu Xue put away the chaos sword and nodded with a smile at Qiu Yue beside her.

Then her form flashed with light, transforming into Qiu Bai.

Qiu Bai turned around, hands behind his back, looking at the dusk sky and smiled.

"Brother."

"Why did you suddenly expose Mr. Tartaglia just now?"

Qiu Yue looked at Qiu Bai back, asking puzzledly.

Hearing this, the corner of Qiu Bai mouth twitched. I'm already being nice by not breaking his legs.

"Qiu Yue, if I hadn't been in a female form just now..."

"I would have done much more than just expose him."

Qiu Bai said with a smile, looking at the already setting sun with his hands behind his back.

"Hmm?"

Qiu Yue tilted her head somewhat naively, not understanding what her brother meant.

"Let's go."

Seeing his sister innocent thoughts, Qiu Bai smiled and instantly transported himself and Qiu Yue to a secluded corner of Liyue Harbor.

The two pushed open the door of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Qiu Bai stretched lazily.

Looking at the empty room in front of him, he was somewhat puzzled.

"Brother, I'm going to rest first."

Qiu Yue smiled and nodded at Qiu Bai, then walked toward the loft.

Qiu Bai nodded, and then took out the Yin-Yang jade stone in his hand.

At Yuehai Pavilion.

A "du-du-du" sound came from Ningguang desk.

"It's been resolved, Ningguang."

"I'm going to travel leisurely through the seven nations of the mortal realm now, so you'll have to rely on yourselves from now on."

Qiu Bai said with a smile, speaking to the Yin-Yang jade stone in his hand.

"I understand, Immortal Lord."

"Thank you for your help these past few times."

Sitting in her office, Ningguang spoke respectfully upon hearing this.

The Millelith and Liyue order had already been restored over these few days, largely thanks to the Immortal Lord intervention.

She truly didn't know how to express her gratitude to the Lord.

"However, Immortal Lord, for your journey through the seven nations of the mortal realm..."

"Do you need Mora? Would you like me to send you some?"

Ningguang suddenly thought of a way to express her gratitude, because apart from money, she had no other means of showing her appreciation.

"Uh..."

"In terms of general practicality, I do need some."

Qiu Bai rubbed his chin and said with a smile to the Yin-Yang jade stone.

"Then where should I send it?"

Ningguang looked at the jade stone, asking somewhat puzzledly.

"Hmm... let me think."

"Just give it to an adeptus named Qiu Bai. He should be at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor now."

After pondering for a moment, Qiu Bai smiled and said to the jade stone.

"Mr. Qiu Bai?"

"I didn't expect he really was an adeptus."

Ningguang said with some surprise.

"I understand, Immortal Lord."

"Tomorrow, I will send someone to deliver some Mora."

Ningguang said with a smile to the other end of the Yin-Yang jade stone.

"Then I'll hang up now."

After saying this, Qiu Bai put down the Yin-Yang jade stone and walked up to the loft.

He pushed open the door, entered his room, and slowly closed his eyes.
