"Speaking of which, cook, didn't you say that children have the right to know before? You still made the decision for him."

Paimon, who had nothing to do, flew to the side and started to stir up thorns.

"What are you talking about? That wasn't my choice, that kid chose it himself."

Although Paimon behind him was a little noisy, Bai Qiyun didn't mind answering her questions.

Along the deserted street, a group of people walked slowly on their way home.

"Choose it yourself?"

"Yeah, how could a little devil who understands that not realize that something is wrong around him?"

Combined with the somewhat unclear attitudes of Sister Grace and Mr. Durav, perhaps they are also aware of this, so they leave the choice to each other.

Bai Qiyun put his hands into his trouser pockets. Even in summer, the morning was still a bit cold.

"So there is only one answer. That kid deliberately prevented himself from paying attention to those things. Only in that way will this kind of daily life without any changes continue day after day."

Ying followed Bai Qiyun without saying a word, quietly thinking about what happened to Sister Grace and Timmy just now.

"Hey, kid, you're not that big of a cook after all."

A certain troublemaker flying aside didn't even listen to what Bai Qiyun said just now. She just wanted to torment the lifeless guy in front of her.

Hearing this, Bai Qiyun turned around and pulled Paimon over, who was buzzing like a bee, and kept pulling her face with his hands.

His originally fair and smooth skin turned red, like a golden monkey's butt.

"That's bigger than a little guy like you!"

The increasing strength in her hand made Paimeng grimace in pain. Finally, she made up her mind and bit Bai Qiyun's hand.

A row of neat tooth marks suddenly appeared on the young man's palm, which was really conspicuous.

Bai Qiyun, who was in pain, subconsciously let go of his hand and let the little guy out.

Paimon took this opportunity and flew away.

"You guy, stop here!"

"Slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly."

After being bitten, the young man chased the escaping elf in front of him and ran all the way down the deserted street in the early morning.

——————————

"Ying, the cook is bullying me."

Paimeng, who was caught in Bai Qiyun's hand, looked like he was crying, and his face drooped.

Obviously, the final winner of this Mondstadt cabin chase is naturally our great landlord.

As if waving a fan, Bai Qiyun grabbed the clothes on Paimon's back and fanned him.

"By the way, there's something I want you to see."

Ignoring Paimon who was yelling at the side, Ying walked to the place where her backpack had been placed before and took out the strange apple that Beatrice had given her before.

The normal apple had been fed to Paimon before.

The rosy apple lay quietly in Ying's palm. In her eyes, the apple was covered with a layer of aqua blue.

But when I left Beatrice, the water elemental power on this apple was not so strong, and it was basically still at a relatively normal level.

"Eh? When did this apple become like this?"

Hearing Ying's exclamation, Bai Qiyun threw the Paimeng fan on the sofa and let the little guy crawl around on it.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Qiyun opened his elemental vision and looked at the apple in Ying's hand.

In his eyes, the originally round apple was now covered with imprints of water elemental power, stretching towards the core of the apple like a transportation pipeline.

This feels like...

"Why does this thing look a bit like those elemental cores?"

Looking at the unusual apple, Bai Qiyun lowered his head and murmured to himself.

"ah?"

Because the boy's voice was a little soft, Ying on the other side couldn't hear it very clearly.

"No, it's nothing. By the way, where did you get this thing from?"

After calming down, Bai Qiyun asked Ying about the origin of the apple.

"I heard from Beatrice that they were picked from near the spring in Qingquan Town. They also wanted to invite us to come and have a look when we are free."

Listening to the girl's words, Bai Qiyun took the apple and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, those channels transporting elemental power extend all the way to the inside of the apple, and the entire apple is like a sleeping core.

Although there is nothing visible on the outside, if this kind of thing is everywhere in the mountains and plains, it is equivalent to laying hundreds of landmines in Qingquan Town waiting for people to step on it.

Once it detonates, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Um...that is to say, are you free today?"

"Huh? You mean to go to Qingquan Town?"

After thinking about his arrangements for today, Bai Qiyun felt that it would be okay to accompany Ying and Paimon.

But before that...

The young man looked at the girl in front of him, thought about it for a moment, and nodded.

"Well, it's okay to accompany you there, but before that, I have somewhere to go."

Bai Qiyun weighed his empty backpack and already had a plan in mind.

——————————

"So what are we doing at the Adventurers Association?"

Paimeng, who was lying in Bai Qiyun's backpack, showed his little head and looked at the two people in front of him, somewhat puzzled.

But to her, with such a comfortable way of moving, it didn't matter if she stayed a little longer.

She took out the snacks she had prepared before and ate them behind Bai Qiyun.

"Of course I'm going to take back the things we agreed on before, and get some other things by the way."

Although he was carrying a big backpack behind his back, Bai Qiyun didn't feel any weight.

Not only is Paimon extremely light, but more importantly, his previous inventory has been exhausted.

In addition to Paimon, the current backpack only contains a few things that he can't use, so it is naturally very light.

Bai Qiyun took Ying in exchange for the previously agreed wind-catching bottle from Catherine, and then walked out of Mondstadt after accepting the collection commission from the wild.

"What do you want to do when you accept the commission?"

Holding the fresh order form that she took from Catherine, Ying was a little confused.

The list requires collecting windmill chrysanthemums, but this stuff is only available in Fengqi Land, so it's not going well with them.

"Um... Actually, I used up all my inventory when I fought with the people of the Abyss Cult, so I had to go pick it up by myself. It just so happened that you were here today, so we took care of it together."

"Oh~ you think of me as a strong man."

"To each other."

In fact, Bai Qiyun still had something he didn't say, and that was... He didn't have enough mola. If he had enough mola, he could just buy it directly from the merchants in the city.
