Genshin Impact: I'm The Envoy of Snezhnaya
Chapter 335: Worth Half a Bottle of Potion
In truth, Diluc didn't know that Bai Luo had already noticed him the moment he started tailing the two of them from the plaza.
At first, Bai Luo assumed he was simply heading to the Cathedral of Mondstadt to check on the victims and just happened to be walking the same route.
It wasn't until Diluc stopped when they did that Bai Luo realized—he was being followed.
The city walls… ever since his first visit to Mondstadt, Bai Luo had especially liked coming here.
It was also here that he discovered that child, Collei, had come to Mondstadt.
There used to be plenty of Knights of Favonius patrolling the walls.
Now, not a single one could be seen.
And precisely because there was no one around, he could knock someone out without worry.
Today, the reason he and Noelle appeared at the city wall was specifically to knock out this very self-aware little kitty—Diluc.
To Bai Luo, his appearance was worth a full half-bottle of potion.
"Mr. Bai, I don't see the cat you mentioned… Mr. Bai?"
Not seeing the "cat" Bai Luo had referred to, Noelle turned around.
To her surprise, Bai Luo was already crouching at the corner ahead, holding her club.
When Noelle walked up to him, he slowly lifted something small by the back of its neck and stood up.
It was a flame-red cat with its eyes rolled back, tongue lolling out, completely unconscious.
Bai Luo's "Bai-style physical deep hypnosis" had effects similar to anesthesia.
When "Kitty Diluc" fainted, his muscles lost their ability to contract.
At this time, he couldn't control his tongue in cat form.
If you didn't pull his tongue out, it could block his airway and cause suffocation.
That's also one of the reasons why, in so many pictures of cats being neutered, they're sticking their tongues out.
"Mr. Bai, you didn't… kill it, did you?"
Noticing that Bai Luo had just struck something—and seeing that the little cat was unconscious—Noelle couldn't help but worry.
Even if his strength wasn't as great as hers, being hit by that weapon…
"Relax. If I had really hit him with this thing, he'd have turned into a flat cat pancake. How could he still be intact in my hand? I just startled him a bit."
Bai Luo said confidently, gripping Kitty Diluc by the scruff.
Maybe because of the spikes on the club, Diluc might have felt a little pain.
But Bai Luo swore to the heavens—given his experience in knocking people out, Kitty Diluc's life was absolutely not in danger.
Mm… as for whether he might lose his memory, that he couldn't guarantee.
"Very well. Would you like me to introduce you to Miss Barbara? As a deaconess of the Church of Favonius, she specializes in healing. In her spare time, she also treats injured animals. You don't have to worry about her harming your pet."
"No need."
Quietly putting away the remaining half-bottle of potion, Bai Luo smiled at the busy little girl.
"You've already done very well. Go get some rest."
Rest?
To Noelle, resting was simply a waste of time.
To her, being busy was training on the path to knighthood. Training couldn't just be empty words, it required strict self-discipline.
So she had to—
Thunk—
The club in Bai Luo's hand suddenly came down, catching Noelle completely off guard.
She looked at Bai Luo in confusion and rubbed her forehead.
"Mr. Bai, are you—"
Thunk—
Bai Luo froze for a moment, then brought the club down again.
He admitted that perhaps because this young girl was too enthusiastic, he had held back a little just now.
But he swore to the heavens—if it had been someone else… that one strike would have sent them into a deep, blissful sleep.
"Mr… Mr. Bai, please…"
"…"
He'd seen plenty of people who didn't pass out after eating two Sunsettias from him.
But being able to speak after taking two hits of Bai-style Physical Deep Hypnosis? Now that was rare.
Could it be that the metal maid headpiece on her forehead was actually doing something?
Thunk!
"Mm…"
It took a full three blows before the young girl finally collapsed beside Bai Luo and fell into a deep sleep.
Bai Luo even began to suspect she was wearing a full set of defense-boosting artifacts—her physical resistance was almost on par with Azhdaha.
He took out the remaining half-bottle of potion and poured it over her.
A cute little cat wearing metal accessories appeared in front of him.
It wasn't exactly a waste.
First of all, if he carried an unconscious Noelle through the streets, the citizens of Mondstadt would absolutely gang up on him.
He had no doubt about how popular this girl was.
Secondly, this potion's shelf life was even shorter than ready-to-drink dairy products. Even if sealed immediately after opening, its effects would completely dissipate within a few dozen minutes.
Rather than letting it dissipate, he might as well make full use of it.
And so, Bai Luo left the city walls, holding a kitten in each hand.
...
"Why does it have to be at my house?"
At Lisa's home, due to her afternoon tea interrupted, Lisa looked rather displeased.
As an elegant lady well-versed in countless volumes, she required sufficient sleep to maintain her skin.
If it weren't Jean who had come today, but someone else, Lisa would absolutely let them understand why Mondstadt sometimes experienced sudden thunder on perfectly sunny days.
"My apologies. If anything gets damaged, the Knights of Favonius will cover all expenses."
Jean and Kaeya spoke as they arranged decorations for the welcome gathering.
There was a reason for choosing this place.
Holding it at the Knights of Favonius headquarters would feel oppressive. Holding it at Angel's Share would seem disrespectful.
Instead, this private living room—which had once hosted the other party—might create the illusion that the Ausbilder was reuniting with old friends.
When it came time to discuss certain matters, it might make things easier.
"Sigh. Well, you are my superior, after all."
With a soft sigh, Lisa closed the book in her hands.
If her alchemy workshop were still here, she would never have allowed Bai Luo to come over.
The last time Cyno came, Bai Luo had practically ravaged many of her treasured potions.
After Cyno's suggestion, she had moved her alchemy workshop entirely to the upper level of the library.
That way, during work hours, she could openly slack off under the excuse of conducting experiments, and in her spare time, she could use her skills to brew herself a fine cup of tea.
Nothing could be more comfortable.
Still, slack off as she might, when it came to organizing books and archives, Lisa always handled it personally.
Knowledge was something she only felt at ease managing herself.
"By the way, why haven't I seen Diluc? Hasn't he come back yet?"
