When Bai Mu returned, it was already completely dark. But he found that the Great Tree King was still sitting there watching the shop, without showing the slightest impatience.

This pleased Shiraki greatly.

"How much did you earn today?"

Shiraki inquired about the income situation.

He only has tens of thousands of Mora left, and after going to Mondstadt, those tens of thousands of Mora will definitely not be enough.

"zero."

The Great Compassion Tree King thought for a moment and then spoke.

"What? How much?"

Bai Mu thought he had misheard, so he checked again.

"No income."

The Great Compassion Tree King spoke slowly and deliberately.

It's not her fault. Xingqiu and Chongyun were just too polite before, leaving her unsure how to respond.

In order to avoid dealing with these polite Liyue people, she had to use some methods around the store to make most passersby subconsciously ignore it.

This way, she wouldn't have to deal with the Liyue people who wanted to buy things.

"What about the days before that?"

Bai Mu asked again. He didn't believe that he had had zero income since Zhong Li left.

Even without Zhongli helping to "sell" its products, with the Great Compassion Tree King's good looks, it's impossible for it to always be without customers, right?

"There's been no one around."

The Great Compassion Tree King lowered her head, her face slightly flushed, as she was too embarrassed to look at Bai Mu's expression.

"What exactly happened? Do you know?"

Bai Mu asked with a bitter face, he really couldn't figure out why.

Could it be that the people of Liyue only recognize Zhongli and not the Great Tree King?

"Oh, don't worry about such trivial matters. Aren't you going to Mondstadt tomorrow? It's already dark, so go back and get some rest."

The Great Tree King had been using the World Tree, trying to find some topics to divert Shiroki's attention.

While searching, she discovered that Xiangling was going to Mondstadt the next day. And Xiangling was going with Baimu.

By doing this calculation, the Great Tree King also learned that Whitewood was going to Mondstadt the next day.

“I know, that’s why I’m asking about your income.”

Bai Mu explained with a worried expression:

"Without money, we won't be able to do anything after we get to Mondstadt, and we won't even have a problem with food and lodging."

"That's alright then. I am a god, I don't need to eat or sleep."

The Great Tree King had initially thought that Bai Mu was asking her for money because of something important, but it turned out to be just a small matter that had caused her unnecessary worry.

"Sigh, let's see what to do when the time comes."

Since the Great Tree King had said so, Shiro could only sigh and helplessly go back to his room to sleep.

……

Noon the next day.

Bai Mu, who was lying peacefully on the bed, was woken up by the Great Tree King.

Shiraki rubbed his eyes, which were still a little drowsy, and couldn't help but complain:

"Can't you let me sleep a little longer? It's only noon!"

"Xiangling has been waiting for you all morning."

Seeing the white tree like this, the Great Tree King was too lazy to explain anything further.

If Xiangling hadn't waited for him for so long, the Great Tree King wouldn't have come to wake him up.

After all, having learned from the lessons of the past few days, the Great Tree King knew that the white tree could not be woken up before noon.

"Tell her to wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Upon learning that Xiangling had been waiting for him for a long time, Bai Mu lost his desire to stay in bed any longer. He quickly tidied himself up and got out of bed.

As soon as Bai Mu finished dressing and came downstairs, he saw Xiang Ling helping him sell things in the shop.

Seeing this, Bai Mu couldn't help but begin to have doubts. Could it really be because of the Great Tree King that his shop had no customers?

In fact, after Shiraki discovered yesterday that there were no customers in the shop, the Great Tree King removed the omen that had been released around the shop, which allowed Shiraki's shop to resume normal business today.

Shiraki simply didn't know any of this.

"Oh, Uncle Bai, you're finally up."

After the guests left, Xiangling noticed Bai Mu standing behind her and exclaimed in surprise.

She had waited so long, and Bai Mu finally got up. How could she not be pleasantly surprised?

"Ahem, I'm sorry, something happened at Qingce Manor, and I needed to go there to stabilize the situation, so I was delayed for a while."

In order to salvage his image, Bai Mu had no choice but to fabricate a reason.

Although this reason seemed full of holes, the naive Xiangling actually believed it.

At this moment, Xiangling's eyes were filled with admiration, and she also felt somewhat ashamed of her earlier guess.

Uncle Bai, a compassionate deity, had just been solving problems for the people under his rule, and I had actually thought he was sleeping.

Thinking of this, Xiangling felt even more ashamed.

"Uncle Bai, I'm sorry. I apologize for my bad guess."

Xiangling expressed her apology to Bai Mu in the most sincere tone.

This made Shiramu very embarrassed.

He quickly changed the subject to ease his embarrassment.

"By the way, Xiangling, isn't Guoba coming with you?"

Bai Mu noticed that Guoba, who had always been with Xiang Ling, was not by her side this time, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, Aunt Wang borrowed the rice crust."

Xiangling scratched her head and said.

Guoba was very excited when he saw the Great Tree King. Xiangling thought that Guoba really liked the Great Tree King, so when the Great Tree King asked to borrow Guoba, Xiangling did not refuse.

"Borrowed it? Did Guoba agree to it?"

"Guoba agreed. When Aunt Wang asked to borrow Guoba, Guoba was very happy."

Shiraki expressed skepticism about this.

He had witnessed how terrified Guoba was of the Great Compassion Tree King that day, and he seriously suspected that Xiangling had misunderstood, mistaking resistance for happiness.

"Lulu!"

While Shiraki and Xiangling were discussing Guoba, Guoba was just brought down from upstairs by the Great Tree King.

The moment Guoba saw Xiangling and Baimu, he immediately cried out for help.

"Be good, Guoba."

The voice of the Great Tree King came from behind Guoba, making Guoba's heart tremble. His cries for help stopped abruptly, and the expression on his face instantly turned into joy.

Although the Great Tree King would use the rice crust for research, the divine power she gave it was truly delicious.

Guoba couldn't resist the temptation of divine power, so much so that even though it was terrified of the Great Tree King, it wouldn't even think of running away.

"Now that everyone is here, let's set off."

After the Great Tree King and Guoba came down, Bai Mu called out to everyone, reminding them that it was time to leave.

"Uncle Bai, my father has already prepared a car for us."

Xiangling pointed to the carriage parked at the entrance of Baimu.

"Okay, let's get in the car and head to Mondstadt."
