"Uh, are you Sister Yelan?"
The black-haired woman turned her head, one hand on her hip, a teasing expression on her face:
"What, has my skill in fooling people improved? It's one thing for strangers, but you can't even recognize me?"
"Ah, no."
The newly arrived waiter, a male, chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head. "Boss, didn't you go to pick someone up? Why are you back so soon?"
"After all, it's just a trip to the airport, how much time can it take?"
Ye Lan waved casually and continued walking forward.
"But, boss, didn't you say the people coming this time were—"
"Okay, so I'll trouble you to change into some proper clothes later and go next door to meet them like a boss."
"what?"
The waiter looked completely bewildered.
"What do you mean, 'ah'?"
Having reached the end of the corridor, Ye Lan smiled slightly. "I'm preparing to act alone. Is there something strange going on? Hurry up, I'd better check it out later!"
"Uh, yes!"
……
Then, a few minutes later.
Ye Lan, dressed in a simple white shirt and casual trousers that accentuated her figure, arrived at the store entrance. Standing in front of her was a waiter in a formal suit.
"Oh, it looks pretty good. Well, I'll leave the next room to you then. I'll head out now."
"But, hey, but it seems like someone came out from next door."
"Ok?"
Ye Lan turned around and immediately saw Luo Mu coming out of the villa.
However, she wasn't too worried, after all, her current appearance was insignificant to that guy—
Looking at her, Luo Mu suddenly broke into an exceptionally bright smile, raising his hand as he did so:
"Hey, driver, what happened to you? You've turned into a woman!"
"........."
The Divine Calculation System Girl won't be... in Liyue! : Chapter 347 Miss Ninefold: Let's be cute first
"you--"
Looking at Luo Mu, whose smile seemed even brighter than the summer sun, Ye Lan's pupils dilated slightly, then she chuckled softly.
"It seems I underestimated you. So... what brings you here, Captain?"
Before Luo Mu could speak, the eldest servant who had been standing solemnly beside Ye Lan lowered his head dejectedly, indicating:
"Boss, is there nothing more for me to do now?"
Ye Lan was speechless for a moment.
There are other people around, can you please stop making such a fool of yourself?
"Go back to your work."
The original momentum was ruined by this shameful little brother, so Ye Lan could only say this in an annoyed tone.
But the elder servant was clearly very pleased.
"Okay!"
As Luo Mu reached the shop entrance, he looked at the servant brother who ran into the house with surprise, then smiled and said to Ye Lan in front of him:
"That person looks like someone important, why is he so obedient to you?"
"Oh."
Ye Lan glanced at the person whose words were full of ulterior motives, and calmly continued the conversation, "Yes, he manages quite a few people here, but after all, I have a higher position."
Anyway, managing the waiters is the same as managing them, so what I'm saying isn't wrong, right?
"Oh~"
Luo Mu let out a surprised exclamation with varying intonation.
Ye Lan's expression remained unchanged; she simply leaned against the door with her arms crossed and continued to calmly ask:
"So, Captain, is there something you need here?"
She asked the question again.
"Ah, it's not exactly a formal matter."
Luo Mu turned around, a smile on his face that was, well, completely unlike the innocent smile of a man with three wives.
"I mean... do you know where around here you can buy good fried tofu?"
"........."
Ye Lan remained silent for a long while, but finally couldn't keep her composure any longer. "Huh??"
……
"I am back!"
"Li!"
He had just stepped into his house when a pink shadow flashed past his eyes, and then he felt his hands lighten and his head sink.
"Hey, hey."
He raised his hand and poked the pink fox on his head, complaining as he changed his shoes, "You're the one who wants to eat this stuff. You complained about the sun when we went out to buy it, but now you're faster than anyone else at asking for it."
Miss Jiuchong, nestled on Luo Mu's head, remained completely unmoved no matter how much he poked her with his fingers. She simply sat elegantly, using her elemental power to make the box containing fried tofu float in front of her, and then opened it with her paw.
Of course, it's obvious that you have to be quick to speak; after all, if you're slower—
"Li—!"
The elegant Miss Jiuchong was suddenly pulled by the tail and slid down from Luo Mu's head. Miss Zhaigong, who had been peeking out, stretched out her paw and poked a piece of fried tofu in the box with a bamboo skewer. Every move she made was full of the leisurely and unhurried manner of an elder.
Still trying to guard against me?
What do you mean by "slower" or "faster"? Is it possible that I've been here from the very beginning?
This little fox thinks it can fight me?
"Li!"
Miss Jiuchong angrily climbed onto Luo Mu's shoulder, and then—
It started pulling Luo Mu's hair with its claws.
"Lilili!"
Look at her! Look at her!
There's no way we can beat them in a fight. That annoying guy over there is infuriating, but his skills are just as unappealing as his age.
Having been bullied by this guy for so many years since she was a child, she has plenty of experience. At times like this, she should—
Call your parents!
"Tsk tsk tsk, serves you right for being so hasty, now you're getting your comeuppance, aren't you?"
Luo Mu happily lifted the pink-furred fox off his shoulder and put it in his arms. Then, as he walked, he raised his right hand and took a bamboo skewer from the box to poke at the fried tofu.
Miss Jiuchong looked at the fried tofu that was brought to her mouth, nestled comfortably in Luo Mu's arms, and took a big 'hum'.
Now no one will compete with her for it.
As she chewed, Miss Kujou's fluffy pink tail swayed behind her.
Luo Mu didn't care, he just asked the system in his mind as he walked:
'These two little guys probably aren't very high level yet, will they even be of any help?'
[The bloodline of Hakutatsuki is known as the Fox Spirit in Inazuma. In many places, besides the gods, there are shrines dedicated to foxes. Even the current chief priest of Narukami Taisha is from Hakutatsuki's lineage.]
Feeding them is, in a sense, equivalent to making offerings to the fox spirit, which can bring good luck!
Uh……
He held the bamboo skewer in his hand, raised his hand above his head, blindly poked a piece of fried tofu from the box, and continued to feed it to Miss Jiuchong in his arms. His mood was still somewhat complicated.
Luck seems to be even more mysterious than charm, doesn't it?
However, since they had just arrived in Liyue, they didn't have any clues about the Abyss Order's next move. Perhaps they would need more luck at this point.
"All right!"
He rubbed Miss Jiuchong's fox head with his hand, and looked down at her with a smile, "I hope you didn't make me go through all this trouble for nothing. I even lost some goodwill in front of this beautiful girl I just met because of you."
"Gurgle!"
Miss Jiuchong shook her head to break free from the clutches, then slapped someone's hand away with a sneer.
What stunning beauty I just met? She's just a vixen disguised as a man. What's so interesting about her?
It's better to get rid of them!
"Oh, you're back!"
At that moment, Amber poked her head out of the house and asked, "How did the exchange with the neighbors go?"
"Barely okay?"
Luo Mu shrugged.
"Barely okay" means it wasn't going very smoothly?
Amber tilted her head. "Didn't they share any information?"
"Intelligence means there is no intelligence yet."
He sat down next to Amber with the two fox ladies; chilled lemon tea had already been poured on the table.
He picked up his cup, crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at the other people in the room:
"The Abyss Order may not have started its operation in Liyue yet, or it may be hiding even deeper in Liyue. In any case, the lady in charge in Liyue said that they currently have no clues."
"That would make things more difficult..."
Amber looked thoughtful.
No one else present spoke.
After all, to be honest, out of everyone in this room, only Amber is truly professional at handling cases. She's a genuine patrol officer. As for the others, well...
"In any case, if you stay at home, clues are unlikely to come to you on their own."
At this moment, it was Luo Mu, the captain and head of the family, who broke the silence.
His expression and tone were relatively relaxed as he gently stroked the fox head of Miss Jiuchong in his arms, continuing lightly:
"So, let's go to the nearby shopping mall together later, since we still need to buy some household necessities anyway."
Maybe good luck is on its way.
"Li—"
Miss Jiuchong raised her paw and pointed at the white fur that had taken up her spot on Luo Mu's head, then rolled around in Luo Mu's arms.
The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be [illegible] in Liyue! : Chapter 348 Night Orchid: Danger!
"Still no trace found? I understand. No, send me these guys' addresses."
Just like an ordinary office worker walking down the street, Ye Lan hung up the phone and then looked up as if she had something on her mind.
The sky train above was stopping. Although they were quite far apart, her sharp eyesight as an archer allowed her to clearly see Luo Mu and his group, chatting and laughing, getting off the train. And ahead—
the mall.
