Transmigrating to the world of Genshin Impact and becoming a big shot.

"Is that Zhao Chuan, Ying?"

Paimon blinked his big eyes in confusion, pointed to Zhao Chuan who was engrossed in reading a detective novel in the distance, and asked softly.

"Hmm? Zhao Chuan..."

Ying paused slightly, then looked in the direction Paimon was pointing. Her gaze traveled through the crowd, finally landing on the figure sitting in the corner.

When she saw Zhao Chuan's familiar and gentle profile, a sense of joy and peace welled up in her heart.

Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Zhao Chuan's focused expression.

He sat there quietly, holding a detective light novel in his hands.

Paimon looked at Zhao Chuan and couldn't help but laugh: "Wow~ So Zhao Chuan can be this quiet sometimes!"

Ying nodded gently, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes.

The two of them stared at Zhao Chuan silently, as if time had stopped.

Zhao Chuan was unaware that someone was watching him; he remained engrossed in reading the detective novel in his hands.

His thoughts rose and fell with the development of the plot, sometimes tense, sometimes excited.

In his mind, one mystery after another was solved, and one truth after another surfaced.

Good afternoon, Zhao Chuan.

Before Ying could react, Paimon had already rushed over impatiently, his face beaming with excitement. He waved at Zhao Chuan and then scurried off to him.

"Good afternoon, Paimon."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Zhao Chuan couldn't help but smile slightly. He turned around, his gaze falling on Paimon, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes.

"Zhao Chuan, where have you been these past few months? We clearly agreed to go find something to eat together, but only Ying came back, and her face was flushed, like a ripe apple. When I asked her what happened, she ignored me completely. Could it be... that you bullied her?"

Paimon suddenly put on a pair of glasses, adopted a detective's demeanor, frowned, and stared at Zhao Chuan with a serious expression, as if trying to find clues from his expression.

"Paimon, don't talk nonsense!"

Upon seeing this, Ying quickly stepped forward and covered Paimon's mouth, her face flushed and her eyes showing a hint of embarrassment.

"Pfft, it's alright, it won't hurt to tell her. Quickly put Paimon down."

Zhao Chuan looked at the two people in front of him and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

His laughter was as warm as a spring breeze, making people feel incredibly welcome.

"Oh? Can I really say?"

Paimon's eyes lit up. She blinked and looked at Zhao Chuan with curiosity, her heart filled with anticipation. Was she getting gossipy?

"Of course, but you have to promise me one thing first."

Zhao Chuan's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes gleamed with a mysterious light, as if he were hiding some little secret.

"What is it? As long as it's not an unreasonable request, I, Paimon, will grant it!"

Paimon patted his chest and answered confidently.

"It's very simple, you just can't tell anyone else about this."

Zhao Chuan gently stroked Paimon's head and spoke in a soft tone.

"Okay, I promise I won't tell anyone!"

Paimon nodded vigorously, then stretched out his little hand and made a pinky promise with Zhao Chuan.

"I was going to find food, but it was also a farewell. My power was a bit unstable and needed to be stabilized, so I left. As for Ying's face..."

Before Zhao Chuan could finish speaking, he took Ying's little hand in the bookstore and waved it in front of Paimon.

"No way, you guys are...!"

Paimon's eyes widened, filled with surprise and excitement.

"So, please stop making wild guesses in the future."

Zhao Chuan gently pinched Paimon's cheek and teased him with a smile.

"Ah!" Paimon touched his cheek where he had been pinched, looking a little aggrieved.

Paimon stood there, watching Zhao Chuan and Ying's intimate actions, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.

She didn't know why she had this feeling; she just felt something was off.

"Okay! Hehe, did you guys bring me any delicious food?"

Paimon playfully stuck out his tongue, stopped thinking about random things, and started paying attention to the food.

"Haha, that's all."

As Zhao Chuan spoke, he took out some exquisite snacks from his storage ring and placed them on the table.

"Great! I love eating the most!"

Paimon shouted happily and immediately pounced on the table to devour the food.

“A few days ago, there was the case of the water god’s disappearance. I guess you were with the water god. Let me ask you, what happened between you two?”

Ying asked with a serious expression, her eyes revealing a desire for the truth.

"Yes, I encountered some trouble. I came here because my cultivation had reached a bottleneck. Following the guidance, I came to Fengdan to find a way to break through my cultivation. The Water God wanted to find a way to break through the Fengdan prophecy. I felt that my cultivation bottleneck was also here, so I came together. Then I encountered danger and almost lost my life!"

Zhao Chuan explained, his voice low and heavy.

"So, you've been healing all these days since you came back!"

Ying was very clever; she picked up on the clues in Zhao Chuan's words and immediately guessed the reason behind it.

"Yes, but there was an unexpected bonus. I found a laboratory that might contain evidence related to the serial disappearances of those girls."

Zhao Chuan said excitedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"What? You found it!"

Ying was shocked. She stared at Zhao Chuan in disbelief. The news was a complete surprise to her.

"From what you're saying, you know about that laboratory?"

Zhao Chuan looked at Ying with a puzzled expression. He knew very well that this was no small matter. If she really knew about the existence of that laboratory, things could become very complicated.

"Yes, Miss Navia and I have investigated some places these past few days and have accurately determined the location of the laboratory. We plan to go there to investigate."

Ying nodded firmly, her eyes shining with determination.

She seemed ready to face this mysterious and dangerous laboratory.

When are we going?

Zhao Chuan pressed for details, eager to know their specific action plan. After all, this was no small matter; he had been injured there and was worried about Ying's safety.

"Yeah, I'll go after lunch, but do you want to come along?"

Ying gestured to the back of Zhao Chuan's hand, asking him if he would like to go with her.

Her eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Zhao Chuan could fight alongside them.

"No, this crisis has severely weakened me, and I need to recuperate. Please be careful when you go. Remember the stone I gave you; summon me if you encounter any danger."

However, Zhao Chuan shook his head and explained, as he gently covered Ying's small hand, showing her tender care.

"Yes, I will!"

Ying nodded vigorously, responding with a firm look in her eyes.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more minutes, their words filled with care and warmth.

Zhao Chuan smiled as he looked at the girl in front of him, feeling a sense of indebtedness towards her.

Finally, Zhao Chuan and Ying embraced tightly, as if trying to transfer their strength to each other.

This hug contained the deep affection and tacit understanding between them.

As she released her embrace, Ying turned around and grabbed Paimon, who was standing to the side, looking like he had nothing better to do.

Paimon blinked, seemingly still not quite recovered from the atmosphere, but still obediently followed Ying away.

They walked further and further away, leaving behind a beautiful silhouette. Zhao Chuan stood quietly in place, his gaze following the direction they went until they disappeared from sight.

Mo Mang Palace...

"Lord Navelette, someone has delivered a letter of indictment, saying that the mastermind behind the serial disappearances of young girls has been found."

A member of the guard ran over and said.

"Hmm, who delivered it?"

Navelette said seriously.

"We haven't found out yet, but the letter was delivered to the Water Goddess, and she said to send it over."

The guard explained.

"Ms. Furnessa, what is she up to now!"

Navelette took the envelope and pondered.

"What are you saying? Everything is under my control!"

The guards spoke in the tone of the water god.

"The accuser is 'Tadalia, the Executor of the Fatui,' hmm, the Fatui again!"

Navelette opened the envelope and looked at the words. After a moment of thought, she read them aloud, fell into deep thought, and then glanced at the guards in front of her.

"Yes, I understand. Arrange for personnel to arrest the young master immediately and begin the trial!"

Suddenly, Villette understood something and spoke very seriously to the guards.

"Yes, Lord Vilette."

After saying that, the guard left.
