In Genshin Impact: I accidentally ruined the Seven Gods

After receiving Bai Mu's reply, Ning Guang planned to leave with Gan Yu.

But at that moment, Shiraki spoke up and stopped them.

"Since you're here, stay and have something to eat before you leave. I haven't seen Gan Yu in a long time, and you, the Tianquan Star of Liyue, I have some things I need your help with this time."

Hearing Bai Mu's words, Ning Guang and Gan Yu obediently stayed behind.

"Don't just watch me eat, you guys eat too."

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Stop, stop calling me Your Majesty. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Bai, like Gan Yu does."

Bai Mu said to Ning Guang. He used to think it was quite domineering to call out once or twice, but after it happened so many times, he felt quite embarrassed.

Then Bai Mu turned to Gan Yu and said, "Little Gan Yu, why aren't you eating? I remember you were a very greedy eater when you were little?"

"Ah... this... Uncle Bai, I started dieting a long time ago." Gan Yu looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, but couldn't muster any appetite.

Whenever she sees these things, she is reminded of how chubby she was as a child, and her appetite naturally diminishes.

"That's a real shame. By the way, Ningguang, did you know that Gan Yu was quite chubby when she was little? You probably didn't know that, so let me tell you a story about Gan Yu when she was little. I bet you really want to hear it, right?"

"Ah, Uncle Bai, actually I don't." Before Ningguang could finish speaking, "Bai, the God of Very Good Chatting" began his explanation.

"During the war between gods and demons, Gan Yu choked to death a demon god because she was too fat, and she herself was so frightened that she cried. At that time, Clock... Morax and Liu Yun were worried about Gan Yu's safety, so they entrusted Gan Yu to my care."

At this point, Shiraki finished the few remaining dishes on the table, instructed the waiter at the door not to stop serving, and then continued speaking.

“When Gan Yu was first fostered by me, she often stole the offerings that the believers gave me because I had no food.”

"Once, she was caught red-handed by a few believers while she was stealing food. Before my believers could even say anything, Gan Yu was already crying from fright."

Ningguang lowered her head, her shoulders shrugging, clearly trying to suppress a laugh.

"Uncle Bai, please stop talking." Gan Yu's face was so red it was almost bleeding. She didn't dare to blame Bai Mu, afraid that he would continue to talk about her embarrassing childhood stories.

So Gan Yu looked to Ning Guang on her left for help.

Seeing the look Gan Yu gave her, Ning Guang remembered how Gan Yu had helped her earlier that day, and could only reluctantly change the subject.

“Uncle Bai, didn’t you say you had other things you needed our help with? Why don’t we take advantage of the time we still have and go and resolve them?” Ningguang said to Bai Mu.

Gan Yu glanced gratefully at Ning Guang, then quickly chimed in, "That's right, Uncle Bai, why don't we take advantage of the early hour and help you resolve this matter as soon as possible?"

Seeing that Gan Yu was getting a little anxious, Bai Mu decided to stop teasing her and then told the two of them about his plan to settle down in Liyue Harbor.

The two women were very surprised to hear that Bai Mu wanted to settle down in Liyue Harbor.

In their minds, deities or immortals like Bai Mu should be pure and inactive or high above others, and would never want to settle in a place like Liyue Harbor, which is full of everyday life.

However, they did not show this on their faces, but instead unanimously indicated that their Qunyu Pavilion (Yuehai Pavilion) was available for Bai Mu to live in.

Shiraki quickly waved his hand to refuse.

If Shiraki were to actually move in with them, it would make both of them feel uncomfortable. What Shiraki wants is a home of her own.

The two women didn't say much about Bai Mu's refusal. They could tell that Bai Mu genuinely didn't want to stay with them, rather than it being a polite refusal.

Furthermore, for them, if Shiraki lived with them, they would feel like they were being watched by an elder no matter what they did, which made them particularly uncomfortable.

So they asked Shiraki what he thought.

"Yes, I'd like to buy a house in Liyue Harbor. Could you keep an eye out for me as soon as possible?"

“Uncle Bai, why don’t we take you for a walk around Liyue Harbor while it’s still early? Maybe we’ll find the house you’re looking for,” Ningguang suggested.

She ate this meal with a rather subdued feeling. Although it was clear from their interactions that Bai Mu was a very easygoing person, and he behaved very casually at the dinner table, that didn't mean Ning Guang could be just as casual.

Furthermore, Gan Yu, who was sitting next to her, hadn't touched his chopsticks at all, leaving Ning Guang in a dilemma—whether to eat or not—and she was constantly thinking about ending the meal. Now, she could take this opportunity to leave.

Shiraki nodded immediately. He also wanted to resolve his accommodation problem as soon as possible, and Ningguang's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.

At this moment, Bai Mu called over the waiter at the door and asked them to reserve the table for him and prepare some more food, as he would be coming back that evening. The waiter didn't dare to delay and quickly instructed people to clean up.

……

Bai Mu walked along the bustling streets of Liyue Harbor, followed by Ningguang and Ganyu. Passersby would stop to greet Ningguang and Ganyu, and they would respond to each one.

As he walked, Bai Mu stopped in front of a general store because the sign on the door read "House for Sale".

Bai Mu immediately went up to inquire about it.

After making inquiries, Shiraki immediately decided that Dong was the one.

The owner of this house is an elderly man who has run this shop for most of his life.

A few years ago, the old man's wife went to Qingcezhuang to retire, but the old man couldn't bear to leave his shop and thus didn't go there. During that time, many people wanted to buy his shop, but he refused them all.

The old man wasn't looking to make a fortune because he was short of money, nor was he simply unwilling to sell. Rather, he lacked a compelling reason to let go. This shop represented decades of his hard work, and he couldn't just give it up so easily.

At this moment, Bai Mu had already entered the shop and saw the old man. Looking at the somewhat bewildered old man, Bai Mu was about to speak when the old man spoke first:

"Lord, is that you?"

"Ok?"
