Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

Pantalone removed his leather gloves, revealing his bony hands, and put them inside his clothes. His cold hands touched Chen Xi's skin, making her shiver.

Chen Xi looked at Pantalone with dissatisfaction, who was treating her like a hand warmer. To Pantalone, Chen Xi's resentful little eyes were cute, and she looked like a frizzy little cat that needed to be comforted.

"Don't be angry anymore, sweetie." He touched Chen Xi's hair, ruffled it, then smoothed the cat's fur, and gently patted its back.

In the past, when "Scholar" made Chen Xi angry, this method was used to soothe her. After a while, Chen Xi would go to "Scholar" to hug her. She is a very clingy little kitten who only cuddles with people who are good to her.

This familiar method surprised Chen Xi. No matter how pleasant the sandalwood scent on Pantalone was, it couldn't compare to the embrace of her deceased beloved. She had hoped to numb herself temporarily through this method, but she still couldn't help but think of the "scholar" brother who would softly call her "little friend".

It wasn't that cold-blooded madman, [Doctor] Daughtore, who only used himself as an experimental subject.

His body instincts told him that a "scholar" was irreplaceable.

Unlike the other self-serving individuals, the "scholar" is genuine in his feelings for himself, feelings that are unmatched by others.

"Brother..." I miss you so much.

Pantalone mistook the address of "scholar" for a call to himself, and felt a surge of joy, stroking Chen Xi's chin.

Meanwhile, the boy locked in the iron cage timidly observed his surroundings. The burning gazes and desires in the eyes of those people filled him with fear.

Forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, the boy cheered himself up and looked for someone who seemed easy to get along with. After looking around, the boy's gaze fell on Pantalone, who was teasing Chen Xi from above.

That person seemed to be only focused on playing with the "little pet" they had bought, and their gaze never shifted to themselves.

"Pan Fugui?" Chen Xi called out the nickname she had given Pantalone, leaning against him.

"Hmm? Is this the name Liyue gave me?" Pantarone rested his chin on his right hand, tilting his head to look at the little guy on his body. He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. He was used to smiling at everyone. No one knew whether his smile was genuine or fake, or if he was just faking it at the person on the throne.

"No, it's a nickname. It's easy to pronounce and remember."

"Ah."

"I want to save them."

"There are too many people. If we rashly try to rescue someone, we'll make a lot of enemies. However, we're here to clear out these people. Go ahead and save them if you want."

"Ok!"

Two burly men wearing red headscarves opened the iron cage. Seeing the knife marks on the men's faces, the boy inside felt they were ferocious and took a few steps back. A pair of large, scarred hands forcibly pulled the boy out.

"Let's begin," the auctioneer instructed the two.

The two burly men each pulled out a dagger and used ropes they carried to tie the boy's limbs to the cage.

The dagger, gleaming with a faint cold light, sliced ​​through the tattered linen clothes, revealing delicate skin. The already tattered linen clothes were torn open in an instant, leaving the only covering the boy naked. He wanted to resist but was unable to move because his limbs were bound.

Just as the dagger was about to pierce the boy, several wisps of black energy instantly struck the two burly men. In an instant, the two men were entangled by karmic obstacles, and ultimately, the karmic obstacles took control of their bodies.

Karmic obstacles caused the two burly men to cut the ropes binding the boy and shield him in front of them. The boy looked bewildered, and their unusual behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of the powerful and influential people watching.

The auctioneer, knowing what these dignitaries wanted to see, sternly rebuked the two men: "What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?!"

The two of them stared at the auctioneer like puppets, without giving him a reply.

Chen Xi deactivated his invisibility and appeared in front of the auctioneer. Before the auctioneer could react, a ball of black karmic energy appeared in his palm and entered his body.

"I'm sorry, the debt collector simply doesn't have the time, so I'll have to personally send you to the underworld." Karmic burdens spread throughout Chen Xi's body, and the sword hanging at his waist hummed.

The karmic burdens on the officer and his men also erupted at this moment, causing them to indiscriminately attack the powerful and wealthy people around them. Chaos ensued, and even those with guards were not spared. The dead were directly controlled by their karmic burdens, which then attacked those around them. There were no survivors at this auction.

This is a major reshuffle, both political and social, directly authorized by the Winter Queen, with Pantalone and Chen Xi as the executors. Someone has to handle things behind the scenes.

They took a detour to the place where human traffickers were being held, where Chen Xi controlled them to open the iron cages and release everyone.

More than twenty homeless people followed Chen Xi, including the boy. In his memory, he was not from Teyvat, but an outsider. However, according to his description, he seemed to come from a cultivation world with a worldview completely different from Teyvat and a different way of obtaining power.

Therefore, he didn't know where he could go. When he saw the brother and sister who had been taken in by Chen Xi as his personal guards, he said that he also wanted to follow Chen Xi.

Others echoed this sentiment, saying they had no home, or that their families had long since abandoned them and sold them to these human traffickers.

Chen Xi felt deeply sorry for this, so he gave the boy a pen and paper and asked him to count the names and ages of the more than 20 people. Those who were of suitable age would stay with Chen Xi, while the younger ones would be sent to the "House of Hearth" of [servant] Arecino.

[Servant] Arecino is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, as Chen Xi learned from the PV, and she is especially patient with children.
