As a young master who loved to act as a hero and champion of justice, Xingqiu had countless books in his home. When he traveled for business, he would also do similar righteous deeds.
But how could those small matters compare to truly protecting Liyue?
A hundred years from now, if people spoke of him, he wanted them to use the title "The Great Hero, Xingqiu," not "the second son of the Feiyun Commerce Guild." That would be truly thrilling.
In the past, Xingqiu would have never considered joining the Millelith. But the recent series of changes in Liyue had shown him an opportunity.
Coincidentally, Hu Tao had sought him out to play yesterday, and so, the idea of joining Su Han's service was born in Xingqiu's mind.
He was especially moved when she mentioned that a certain swordsman from Inazuma, under Su Han's guidance, had become an incredibly terrifying master.
At that point, Xingqiu could no longer sit still.
As for Chongyun, he held similar thoughts.
Born into a family of demon slayers, he had naturally taken in all of Liyue's recent changes. If he could enter Su Han's service, perhaps he could restore his once-glorious family to its former honor.
Of course, he had also come here under the guidance of his uncle, who had told him that his "little aunt" was living in the Jade Chamber. If he wanted to become stronger, he could try looking for her.
Before Chongyun could make up his mind, Xingqiu had come knocking. The two of them discussed it, which led to the scene today.
Su Han smiled. "Of course you can. Liyue is currently in great need of masters. It would be for the best if you are willing to join."
He was currently short on manpower and had originally planned to post recruitment notices. He never thought these two would be willing to pledge their allegiance. This was a case of being sent a pillow just as he was getting sleepy.
"By the way," Su Han said, looking at Chongyun, "you're Shenhe's sister's child, right?"
"Ah, yes. Yes, I am," Chongyun nodded, his gaze drifting towards the tall, cold woman.
The latter was startled. "So you're her child? I didn't expect you to have grown so big." In her memory, her sister had been a very gentle person who always played shuttlecock with her. In the blink of an eye, she now had a child of her own.
Just then, Hu Tao came over with a dish. It had to be said, when she was serious, her cooking skills were quite good.
"What's that delicious smell?" Klee's mouth began to water.
Hu Tao said proudly, "This is called roast fish. First, you grill it, and then you stew it like this. Hehe, I told you I wouldn't let you down today. Huh? I just heard something about a 'little aunt.' What's that about?"
"Oh, it's like this. This Miss Shenhe, by Mr. Su Han's side, is Chongyun's little aunt," Xingqiu quietly explained from the side.
Hu Tao was shocked. "Hah? So that's how it is! No wonder I thought Sister Shenhe's moves looked a bit similar to Chongyun's. So that's the reason!"
She had been wondering before. How could a disciple of an adeptus have moves so similar to that little Chongyun? So they were from the same family.
Shenhe looked at Chongyun and sighed. "I have cultivated with the adepti since I was young. I never thought my sister's child would have grown so big. How about this: in the future, when you come to the Jade Chamber, I can be responsible for teaching you."
"R-really? Little Aunt?" Chongyun was incredibly excited, never having thought he would be able to receive the teachings of an adeptus's disciple.
Shenhe nodded. "You don't need to be so excited. We spend every day in cultivation as well. Whether you can persevere will be up to you."
Whether it was Haki or a high-level martial art like the Qi of Tri-Unity, both required a great deal of hard work. Don't be fooled by the number of Black Blade soldiers that had appeared in the Millelith. The majority of people still couldn't endure the training.
Chongyun nodded vigorously, his expression extremely serious. "I will not let the family down."
Subsequently, they enjoyed a fine dinner.
By the time the banquet ended, it was already ten at night. Klee had fallen fast asleep in Su Han's arms. Today, with the research and the pranks, she was very tired.
Even after they had returned to their room in the grotto-heaven, Klee did not wake up.
After settling her down, Su Han, as was his routine, walked into the bath, preparing for a soak. Baiwen was working overtime today, so there was probably no one to help him scrub his back. Oh well, I'll think about it tomorrow.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard the sound of someone entering the water.
He opened his eyes and found that the newcomer was actually Shenhe.
She was wearing only that black silk garment, looking incredibly alluring.
"You… what are you doing here?" Su Han was a little surprised. Although the two of them had been intimate, Shenhe still preferred to bathe alone. What was going on today?
Seeing his infatuated and fervent gaze, Shenhe's calm heart began to beat violently. A trace of pride even appeared at the corners of her mouth.
"It's nothing. Baiwen isn't free today, is she? I was thinking of learning how an ordinary woman serves you," she said, walking behind Su Han and sitting down, beginning a clumsy massage.
Although her strength was a bit great, it had to be said that Su Han was incredibly moved by her attitude. Because she was constantly trying to adapt to him.
"If there's anything I'm doing wrong, you have to tell me. Don't keep it to yourself."
"Mm." Su Han closed his eyes, an expression of comfort on his face. This otherworldly immortal maiden seemed to be transforming into a normal woman.
After a long while, just as Su Han thought it was over, Shenhe said in a low voice from behind him, "Now it's your turn to help me."
Splash.
The immortal maiden came from behind and appeared before him. It was only when her fair, jade-like back appeared in Su Han's vision that he realized she was asking him to scrub her back.
The next morning, Shenhe walked out of her room and happened to run into her senior sister, Ganyu.
"What a coincidence."
"Mm. I went to bed a little late yesterday. I'm heading off to work now." After just a few words, Ganyu hurried away. For some reason, Shenhe felt that the way her senior sister had looked at her today was a little strange. But she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was. Forget it. I won't think about it. That child Chongyun should be here soon. I should think about how to teach him.
Half an hour later, Chongyun and Xingqiu arrived as promised. Shenhe, acting as their instructor, began to teach them. "If you want to become strong, you must put in the effort. Haki is the foundation of power. Your first step is to condense your own Haki. Only then can you cultivate other techniques."
"Yes, ma'am!" the two of them shouted in unison, and then began to train seriously.
In the Multiverse Mission Group chat, as the time for the mission refresh approached, things became active again.
Yae Miko:The mission is about to refresh in a bit. I heard that Level 2 members get a special benefit, is that right?
Mona:That's right! You can do an independent mission once every half-month, and there are special rewards.
Beidou:It's almost time for my independent mission to refresh. I wonder what it will be this time.
Kamisato Ayaka:Excuse me, what are the rewards for the independent missions?
Keqing:It's random. I defeated some goblins, and the mission reward was a recruitment contract. I can spend Mora to recruit goblins to work. The miners in Mingyun Village right now are all goblins. They're obedient and honest. Very useful!
Yae Miko:There's such a good thing? Then I want to take another mission!
Although the four-star mission gave a lot of experience, she was still a little bit away from leveling up.
Ningguang:Who takes the mission depends on what the mission is. And you just finished a four-star mission. You only need to check in for three more days to level up. You can completely give the opportunity to someone else.
Hu Tao:Who doesn't want to take a mission? Keqing and Beidou are already Level 2. I completed a mission a long time ago and am still stuck at Level 1. I'm the most miserable one!
Mona:I haven't even done a single mission yet!
Seeing everyone in the group complaining, Yae Miko felt a little embarrassed to fight for the mission. After all, she had just joined the group. To do two missions in a row was indeed not a good look.
Su Han:Let's just see what the mission is first.
He didn't really care. Anyway, a mission was a mission, no matter who did it. All he had to do was sit back and reap the rewards.
Kamisato Ayaka:I don't need to do a mission. I've just joined the group, so I'll just watch you all for now. When the time is right, you can call me.
Compared to the eagerness of the others, the Shirasagi Himegimi was exceptionally calm. And her personality was naturally quiet and serene. Although she very much yearned to travel to other worlds for a bit, so many people were waiting for a mission. She was naturally a little embarrassed. And Ayaka had learned from Yae Miko that even if she didn't participate in a mission, she could watch the entire process through the live stream. In that way, it was like an alternative form of experience.
Kaedehara Kazuha:If there's a suitable mission, I'd also like to try out the Qi of Tri-Unity I've been cultivating. I just reached the entry-level yesterday. It should be very powerful if I combine it with my Anemo Vision.
Mona:You're so diligent, Kazuha. A martial art that just appeared, and you've already reached the entry-level?
Su Han:He trains for fourteen hours a day. He's very hardworking!
Beidou:Not bad, Kazuha! Let's have a spar later! Let me see how strong you are!
Kaedehara Kazuha:Alright, Captain Beidou!
As everyone was chatting, the multiverse mission finally appeared. And just like last time, it was another four-star mission!
