Chapter 101 – Hu Tao Promoting Her Services in Other Nations

The cave echoed continuously with the sound of Qiu Bai slapping the Primo Geovishap across the face.

After a while, the slapping sounds inside the cave disappeared.

Within the cave, the Primo Geovishap’s massive body trembled.

Tears streamed from its large eyes on its big face.

“Behaving now?”

“Any more morning temper?”

Qiu Bai stood on the Primo Geovishap’s face, looking at the swollen-faced creature, and asked with a smile.

The Primo Geovishap hurriedly shook its huge head.

“Good, stay well-behaved.”

“Otherwise, next time I come, it won’t just be a few slaps.”

Qiu Bai looked at the human-like Primo Geovishap, smiled, and nodded.

Then he jumped down from the Primo Geovishap’s body and clapped his hands.

“The matter is all resolved.”

“Time to inform Ningguang.”

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Qiu Bai’s mouth as a Yin-Yang Jade materialized in his hand.

He pressed the jade to his ear as if making a phone call.

On Ningguang’s side.

Ningguang was currently reviewing the per capita income of Liyue Harbor when the Yin-Yang Jade on her desk began to ring.

Ningguang quickly set down the documents in her hand and picked up the Yin-Yang Jade.

“Hey~ Ningguang.”

“The matter is resolved. I’ll just blur the memories of those Millelith soldiers.”

Qiu Bai’s voice came through the Yin-Yang Jade.

“Ningguang understands.”

“Thank you, Adeptus Lord.”

Hearing that the matter had been resolved, Ningguang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“The cause of all this was a huge Primo Geovishap.”

“But that lizard has been moved by my brilliant words and won’t cause earthquakes anymore.”

Qiu Bai held the Yin-Yang Jade to his ear and said with a laugh.

“A Primo Geovishap?”

“There’s actually such a large dragon lizard within Liyue’s borders.”

After listening to Qiu Bai’s description, Ningguang stroked her chin and murmured in surprise.

“I’ll hang up now if there’s nothing else, Ningguang.”

“If there’s any trouble you can’t solve, you can call me.”

Qiu Bai’s voice came from the other end of the jade.

“Then I’ll trouble you again next time, Adeptus Lord.”

“Ningguang is endlessly grateful.”

Beep beep beep—after Ningguang finished speaking, the Yin-Yang Jade on the other end hung up.

“Sigh~ I wonder where the Adeptus Lord is.”

“If he could come to serve in the Liyue Qixing, many things would be much easier.”

Ningguang looked at the documents on her desk and sighed, but since this is the age of humans, she should try to solve things herself when possible.

Better not to disturb the Adeptus Lord unnecessarily.

Tianqiu Valley, inside a massive cave.

Qiu Bai turned to look at the Primo Geovishap, which resembled a husky, and nodded.

Then he walked out of the cave and looked at the several Millelith soldiers lying on the ground.

With a wave of his hand, several beams of white Divine Light infused into their bodies.

He waved his hand again to blur their memories, then hummed a tune as he left.

“Strange, why are we here?”

“Did we overexert ourselves?”

One Millelith soldier held his head as he slowly stood up, speaking to the soldier beside him.

“Let’s report to the instructor first.”

“We’ve investigated for two days and found nothing.”

That Millelith soldier sighed and spoke to the several soldiers beside him.

Then the group of Millelith soldiers headed in the direction of Liyue Harbor.

Qiu Bai, walking along the road, hummed a little tune and vanished from the spot with a teleport.

Arriving at a secluded spot in Liyue Harbor, he made his way toward the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

“Hehe, I should let them know.”

“By the time I calculate, it’s about time to head to Inazuma.”

With a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, Qiu Bai pushed open the door of the funeral parlor.

“I’m back.”

Qiu Bai stepped inside after opening the door.

“Hehe, welcome back, old friend.”

“It’s been a while since I last saw you.”

Zhongli sat on a stool, sipping tea, and spoke slowly as he watched Qiu Bai enter.

“Brother, Qiu Yue missed you.”

Qiu Yue dashed over and hugged Qiu Bai.

Qiu Bai smiled and patted Qiu Yue’s head.

“Well, if it isn’t the great Consultant Qiu Bai?”

“What? Decided to come back?”

Hu Tao looked at Qiu Bai as he entered and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

“Hehe, I took a trip to Mondstadt recently.”

“That’s why it took so long to return.”

Qiu Bai looked at Zhongli and Hu Tao and explained with a smile.

“The land of wind—you met that bard, didn’t you?”

“The scent of wine on him seems to have rubbed off on you.”

Zhongli took a sip of tea and smiled as he looked at Qiu Bai.

“I did. That guy is just the same as before.”

“A complete drunkard.”

Hearing this, Qiu Bai waved his hand with a laugh.

“By the way, Director Hu, I’m planning to visit Inazuma next.”

“So I might not be back for a while.”

Qiu Bai nodded at Hu Tao with a smile.

“Inazuma?”

“Isn’t it said that the nation is closed off? How will you get there?”

Hu Tao leaned on the table, looking at Qiu Bai with some confusion.

“I have a way.”

“Coincidentally, the second young master of the Feiyun Commerce Guild asked me to deliver something there.”

Qiu Bai explained to the somewhat puzzled Hu Tao.

“That’s wonderful!”

“Qiu Bai, Qiu Bai, help me promote the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor’s services.”

Hearing that Qiu Bai could go to Inazuma, Hu Tao’s eyes lit up. She ran over, widened her plum blossom eyes, and spoke to Qiu Bai.

“Ahem, of course, Director Hu.”

Hearing this, Qiu Bai twitched the corner of his mouth and cleared his throat lightly.

“So when are you planning to leave?”

Hu Tao looked at Qiu Bai, almost wishing he would go to Inazuma right then to promote her business.

“I plan to leave in the next couple of days.”

“After all, I still need to figure out a way, don’t I?”

Qiu Bai waved his hand with a smile.

“Brother, is Mondstadt fun?”

“Qiu Yue wants to go too.”

Qiu Yue looked up from Qiu Bai’s embrace, blinking her beautiful eyes.

“Hehe, if you’re interested.”

“You can have Zhongli take you there for a visit sometime.”

Qiu Bai chuckled and turned to look at Zhongli.

“Indeed.”

Zhongli nodded directly upon hearing this.

“Then it’s settled, Mr. Zhongli. Take me to Mondstadt in a couple of days.”

“No backing out.”

Qiu Yue looked at Zhongli with her beautiful eyes and smiled.

“Hehe, I won’t.”

“It’s been a long time since I last saw that bard, anyway.”

Zhongli nodded with a smile.

“Ah, fine, fine.”

“With those five helpers around, I can give you a few days off then.”

“But let’s be clear—if you’re going for fun, count me in.”

Hu Tao looked at Zhongli and Qiu Yue, widened her eyes, and smiled.

With Qiu Bai promoting business in Inazuma and her going to Mondstadt to do the same, it would be killing two birds with one stone.

“Hehe, if the Director wishes to go.”

“Then we shall go together when the time comes.”

Zhongli looked at the lively Hu Tao and nodded with a smile.

“It’s getting late, you should rest early.”

Qiu Bai looked at the few people and nodded with a smile.

Outside, the moon had already risen in the sky, and the lights of Liyue Harbor were being lit one by one.
