Genshin Impact was written as Three-Body Problem, but due to delayed updates, Fou locked him in a da

In a simple wooden house in Baisong Town, Luo Xiao was lying in the bathtub, enjoying a rare hot bath.

Steam filled the bathroom, and the water vapor swirled in the air, creating a warm little world.

The water temperature in the bathtub was just right, and the hot water gently caressed Luo Xiao's skin, taking away the fatigue of the day.

Luo Xiao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the comfort brought by the water. His body floated gently in the water, as if all the weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

His mood relaxed, and he felt as if he had merged into this warm water world.

Because of the Rose Society's tight budget, Luo Xiao rarely had the opportunity to enjoy such luxuries.

But today, that "generous" chubby lady gave him tens of thousands of Mora, which made him decide to treat himself.

A satisfied smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

Luo Xiao's thoughts drifted to the manuscript fee that Steambird Newspaper was about to distribute.

He believed that with the overwhelming success of the launch event, his royalties would be substantial, which filled him with anticipation for the future.

During the two and a half months in this world, Luo Xiao had gained a general understanding of the situation on the Teyvat continent.

Among them, the Steambird Newspaper in Fontaine particularly caught his attention.

On the surface, it is just an ordinary newspaper, but in reality, it is also an extremely important information center on the continent of Teyvat.

Fontaine's Steambird Newspaper basically covered the entire Teyvat continent, exerting an extremely far-reaching influence, even more powerful than Yaedo of Inazuma. Yaedo's influence was limited to Inazuma, and at most only extended to Liyue.

Even in Mondstadt, Mona's quests and some smaller quests would mention Fontaine's Steambird Newspaper, which shows how widespread its influence was.

After all, in a world teeming with entertainment programs and devoid of smartphones and computer games, newspapers are the first choice for many.

Novels are their only form of literary entertainment, and apart from a few places where events and programs are held regularly, they have very few other forms of entertainment.

For example, the people of Mondstadt are all about boasting and drinking, and listening to bards sing poems.

In Liyue, people drink tea, listen to storytelling, and enjoy opera.

Inazuma mainly reads light novels, and of course, he also plays games like Seven Sages Summoning for entertainment, but only a portion of people play them, and people get bored after playing Seven Sages Summoning too much.

Therefore, most people would use reading newspapers as a form of entertainment, which resulted in the Steambird Newspaper Company being much larger than Inazuma Yaedo, with hundreds of employees and even dedicated steambirds to deliver the newspapers.

This is precisely why Steambird Newspaper's sales are so high, far ahead of its competitors.

Therefore, Luo Xiao didn't need to worry about delaying payment to Steambird Newspaper at all. After all, such a large newspaper would only lose face if it got out that it was behind on payments.

Gentle ripples spread across the water's surface, and Luo Xiao's thoughts drifted along with them.

He knew that his journey had just begun and there were many unknowns waiting for him to explore, but at this moment, he just wanted to enjoy this rare moment of tranquility and recharge for the challenges ahead.

Steam filled the bathroom, and Luo Xiao was enjoying the comfort of the hot water when the tranquility was suddenly broken by the door opening.

A mysterious and charming young woman lightly pushed open the door and went directly to the bathroom door.

Her appearance was like a ray of light piercing the calm night sky. She had long, golden curly hair that cascaded down like a waterfall, each strand of which shone with the brilliance of the sun.

"Miss Navia? You... how come you're here?" Luo Xiao's voice was filled with surprise and confusion.

Navia's lips curled up slightly, her smile revealing optimism and enthusiasm.

"I've finally found you, Luo Xiao. I thought something had happened to you."

She put her hands on her hips, bent down, and smiled as she spoke to Luo Xiao, her figure shimmering with the surrounding mountains.

"Besides, I already said, Luo Xiao, don't call me that, just call me Navia." Her voice was light and playful, revealing an irresistible sense of closeness.

She gently shook her head, her long, golden curls swaying with her movements, radiating a sun-like glow.

Gazing at Navia's voluptuous figure, Luo Xiao, lying in the bathtub, couldn't help but feel his heart race, an indescribable excitement welling up inside him.

This prompted Luo Xiao to recall an ancient saying in his mind:

The Mi family has many members who prey on the kidneys, and they are fond of my methods of causing collapse, originality, deviation, and extinction. Fortunately, I am born with eight kidneys, so it is reasonable that every two kidneys should be preyed on by one of them. Therefore, I can deal with the Mi family with ease now. If, in time, the number of people preying on the kidneys by the Mi family increases and I also become fond of them, then my kidneys will be ruined.

Navia's appearance was like a ray of sunshine entering Luo Xiao's world, making him feel a sense of warmth and peace.

"Then... Navia, what are you doing in my room? I'm taking a shower. Could you... could you leave for a bit so I can get dressed..." Luo Xiao's voice was a little embarrassed. He suddenly realized that he wasn't dressed and was just lying in the pool.

Luo Xiao frowned slightly. He quickly stood up from the bathtub, grabbed a towel and wrapped it around himself, trying to maintain a semblance of dignity.

"Oh dear~ Why are you being so formal with me? Have you forgotten? We've known each other since we were kids, and besides, you saved my life more than two months ago. I told you then that I would take responsibility for your life from now on."

Navia's voice was soft yet firm, her words carrying an undeniable power. She waved her hand gently.

Hearing the young lady's words, Luo Xiao recalled the memories of this period of time. Since he transmigrated to the Teyvat continent, Navia had taken meticulous care of him, afraid that something might happen to him.

Perhaps Navia did this out of guilt, because the doctor had told her she wouldn't live more than a few years.

For whatever reason, Luo Xiao was somewhat moved by Navia's offer of herself, but she hadn't yet gotten used to her enthusiasm.

“Navia, thank you. But could you please step outside for a moment? I need to get dressed first…”

"Alright then, I didn't expect you to still be so shy~"

"Then I'll wait for you outside~"

Navia smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with understanding and tolerance.

She nodded gently, turned and walked out of the bathroom, leaving Luo Xiao with a sliver of privacy and dignity.

Luo Xiao took a deep breath, quickly put on her clothes, and walked towards the bathroom door.
