"So that's how it is."
Ningguang nodded, the jealousy in her heart slowly dissipating.
She was not an unreasonable person. After hearing Su Han's explanation, she understood Shenhe's situation.
Besides, with one more adeptus disciple on their side, they would have another helper for any difficult missions in the future.
However, the group was currently full, so they couldn't invite Shenhe in for the time being.
Seeing that there was no more gossip to be had, Beidou couldn't be bothered to stay any longer and headed directly towards her new house. Mona did the same.
Su Han looked at the expressionless Shenhe and said to her, "Let's go and see the house."
"Okay."
The two of them walked side-by-side and soon arrived at the house.
The houses here were all small, two-story pavilions. After all, with one person to a house, anything taller would feel too empty. A small, two-story house was just right.
"You choose. There are two bedrooms in total."
"I'll live next door to you."
"Alright."
After settling Shenhe in, Su Han sat on the balcony and casually opened the Multiverse Mission Group chat.
At this moment, the group was in a lively discussion.
Mona had a new house and was naturally excited to show it off.
In the Multiverse Mission Group chat.
Mona:Hehe… this house is so beautiful! It's a pity I can't see the starry sky from here, though.
It was a grotto-heaven, after all. There was naturally no way to see the real night sky for her astrology.
Ningguang:You can choose to do your scrying on the deck of the Jade Chamber. It's only a few steps away.
Hu Tao:Wow, what a beautiful house! I want one too! Su Han, can you save a house for me? Please?
Su Han:Sure, there are plenty of houses. You can come over and pick one out later.
Hu Tao:Hehe~~~ You're the best! But I can't live there all the time, I still have to manage the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. It would be nice to visit occasionally, though.
Su Han:@Ganyu, by the way, your junior sister has arrived. Come back and meet her tonight.
Ganyu:You mean Shenhe? I've only heard our master speak of her; I've never actually met her. I hear that Shenhe has a very fierce temperament and often hurts people.
Compared to the gentle-natured Cocogoat, Shenhe could naturally be considered "fierce."
For instance, when Ganyu encountered Treasure Hoarders, she would at most just drive them away. Shenhe, on the other hand, would beat them to a pulp.
Beidou:It's a shame the group is full, so Shenhe can't join. By the way, how much more EXP do we need to level up? I remember it should be soon, right?
The experience needed to go from a Level 1 to a Level 2 group was not much.
Su Han:Mm, we only need four more missions to level up.
The group's level increased according to the number of completed missions. To upgrade from Level 1 to Level 2, they needed to complete ten missions. They had currently completed six, so only four more were needed.
Keqing:Su Han, these goblins are actually quite capable. I just received a report. Although these little green guys are ugly, they're very obedient. The workload for mining has been lightened considerably.
Mona:What goblins?
Keqing:A creature from another world. They have green skin and low intelligence. I got a recruitment contract from my last independent mission. I originally thought it was useless, but it turns out these guys are excellent miners.
All you needed to do was give these guys enough food each day, and they would work obediently. Moreover, they didn't get into fights. Because among the goblins she recruited, Keqing had also summoned a goblin boss. As long as she rewarded him with a little meat broth, he would automatically manage the other goblins. It was just too convenient.
Ningguang:The labor we've saved can be used for other things. I never thought the independent missions had such benefits. It makes me want to do one, too.
Xiangling:Sigh, me too! Let's see what kind of mission we get tomorrow. If it's a cooking duel, I'm taking it!
Hu Tao:I hope it's a soul-summoning one! Otherwise, it will definitely go to someone else.
Mona:That will depend on fate. I just tried to scry it, but I didn't see anything. It seems my astrology has no effect on the group's missions.
In fact, she had already tried to scry more than ten times. Whether it was about the group or about Su Han, it was no use, as if he had appeared out of thin air. Her old master had once told her that even otherworldly travelers would leave a trace that could be divined when they came to this world, yet her own astrology was completely useless on Su Han.
Soon, night fell. Ganyu returned from Yuehai Pavilion. When she saw her junior martial sister, she asked, "Is Master doing well?"
"Mm. Same as always. Very good at… 'communicating'," Shenhe replied.
"Oh." Ganyu understood. It was probably best not to go back for a while. She always felt immense pressure when facing her master.
Keqing, because she was staying in Mingyun Village, had not yet returned.
That night, as Su Han was sleeping, he was suddenly awoken by a deep, bone-chilling cold.
He sat up with a start and saw that his room had filled with wisps of black energy.
Not good! Shenhe!
Su Han rushed next door. On the wooden bed, Shenhe was muttering in her sleep, caught in a nightmare. The black energy was emanating from her body.
And on the bedside table lay her untied red ropes.
"Don't abandon me…"
"Don't…"
