Sucrose kneaded the corner of her clothes and said shyly, "I added some of the essence extracted from the meat into it, along with some refined medicinal components."
It sounded simple, but without long-term experimentation, it would have been impossible to succeed. This bottle was a prototype, but its effects were excellent.
Subsequently, Baiwen placed a red item of clothing in front of Su Han.
Ningguang said gently, "I know you won't listen even if I try to persuade you. You can have this Qilin Inner Armor. The craftsmen have only managed to make this one piece for now. When they make something better in the future, we can replace it."
The inner armor was a fiery red, as beautiful as a flame. When Su Han reached out to touch it, he found that the texture was incredibly soft, as comfortable as a feather.
Su Han was surprised. "Are the scales of the Fire Qilin this soft?"
"Don't be fooled by its softness. Just cutting it took two whole days of effort. Hurry up and try it on."
"Alright."
Su Han quickly changed into the Fire Qilin Inner Armor. The size was a perfect fit, and after putting it on, his body felt pleasantly warm.
Seeing Su Han in the new inner armor, the others couldn't help but have their eyes light up. Clothes really do make the man. Dressed like this, he had the air of a martial god.
At this moment, an unusual feeling welled up in Su Han's heart. He activated his Transparent World and discovered that Pyro elemental energy was automatically gathering towards him.
Su Han was astonished. "The Qilin Inner Armor can automatically gather the Pyro element?"
"Yes, that's right. According to our experiments, a Pyro Vision holder wearing it can continuously recover their Pyro elemental energy. If it were made into a weapon, the effect would likely be even better," Ningguang explained with a smile.
Hu Tao then asked, "Then do I get one too?"
"Of course. Everyone in the group will get one. However, it's useless for those who aren't Pyro users. A conflicting element, far from bringing any advantages, will actually suppress one's own element."
For example, Mona, Ganyu, and Keqing couldn't wear this, because their elements didn't match and would cause a negative elemental reaction. Take Keqing for example: if she were to use her sword techniques, it might cause an Overload explosion. She would end up blowing herself up before she even killed the enemy. Wouldn't that be a joke?
Amidst the cheerful laughter, the group saw Su Han's slightly weary expression and dispersed one by one.
However, Baiwen was asked by him to stay behind.
Hu Tao couldn't help but tease, "Su Han, you still have official business at night? You'd better pay Sister Baiwen a little extra then."
"How could I mistreat her?" Su Han said with a light chuckle.
Baiwen, however, seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes were full of joy.
Sure enough, after everyone had left, Su Han had her attend to him for his bath.
The water rippled as her small hands massaged his muscles, not only relieving his fatigue but also feeling very comfortable. Clearly, in her spare time, this girl had been studying massage techniques again.
After a while, Baiwen asked in a low voice, "If I do this, will that adeptus disciple get angry?"
"It's fine. Shenhe isn't that kind of person," Su Han said calmly.
He and Shenhe slept in each other's arms every day and had naturally talked about many things, including some matters regarding Baiwen. Influenced by the adepti, Shenhe's perspective was different from that of ordinary people, similar to Cloud Retainer's.
Hearing this, Baiwen let out a clear sigh of relief. Compared to the other lords and ladies, she was very ordinary. To be able to receive Su Han's favor had already made her very content.
For the next two days, Su Han stayed within the grotto-heaven to cultivate and did not go down.
For one, he could guide the others in their Haki training. For another, he was researching how to make the Digimon evolve.
In the end, Su Han concluded that for a Digimon to evolve, aside from their daily food requirements, they could also be stimulated with elements.
For example, for the Snowball Beast, he had used some Cryo ore to build a small house for it.
For Botamon, he used Pyro ore.
After two days of nourishment, the Snowball Beast was incredibly lively today, constantly hopping around on the ground.
Hu Tao squatted down and watched the hopping creature. "Why is it so happy?"
"It should be about to evolve."
"Didn't you say evolution would take some time?"
Su Han raised an eyebrow and smiled. "That's under normal circumstances. If you stimulate it with elements, it will accelerate its growth."
As he was speaking, a ray of light rose from the Snowball Beast's body.
It was evolving.
A white light enveloped the creature.
"Dudu… dudu…"
Swish.
When the light poured into the Snowball Beast's body, a small cat with no feet appeared before Hu Tao.
"Master, I've evolved!" After evolving, Nyaromon quickly jumped into Su Han's arms.
Hu Tao was surprised. "You can talk now?"
"Yes, Hu Tao! I can talk after I evolve!" Nyaromon nuzzled against Su Han, then jumped into Hu Tao's arms. The two of them quickly began to play together.
At that moment, Botamon, which had been wrapped in Pyro crystals, also began to glow.
All of its black fur receded, and it transformed into a pink, spherical creature.
"Haha, I've evolved too! Master, have I become better looking?" Koromon hopped in front of Su Han, madly showing itself off.
Su Han smiled. "This isn't called 'good-looking,' it's called 'cool,' you understand?"
"Oh, okay! Haha!"
If Nyaromon was a cute little princess, then Koromon was an energetic little boy.
This was the best time to establish their values.
However, with Hu Tao around, it seemed both Digimon had a chance of turning into goofy pets.
"Hahaha, this is so much fun! Go, Koromon, charge!" At this moment, Director Hu placed Koromon on her head and began to run around wildly, with Nyaromon chasing after them.
The three of them were having the time of their lives.
Su Han just shook his head. Forget it, I'll teach them how to fight when they reach the Rookie stage. For now, they should enjoy their childhood.
About half an hour later, Baiwen came running in from outside.
"My lord, an emissary from Inazuma has arrived and wishes to see you."
"An emissary from Inazuma? What's their name?"
"I don't know. It is a woman with long, pink hair, and her aura is very strong, similar to Lady Ningguang's."
"…" Don't tell me it's that sly fox, Yae Miko. What is she doing in Liyue instead of staying at her shrine?
Su Han nodded. "Understood. I'll go out and see."
Since the other party had asked to see him by name, he naturally couldn't hide. Moreover, she had come in the capacity of an emissary.
Inside the banquet hall of the Jade Chamber, Yae Miko was playing with a strand of her hair, showing no interest in the pastries on the table.
In fact, she and Beidou had arrived in Liyue two hours ago. However, in order to get a better understanding of Su Han, she had spent two hours wandering the streets.
Creak. The wooden door made a sound.
Yae Miko turned her head to look, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.
What a handsome young man. In terms of appearance, he was even a few points more handsome than Kamisato Ayato. The looks of this National Treasure were truly excellent.
"Hello, I am Su Han. I never thought that the famous Guuji Yae would put aside her duties to come to Liyue. May I ask what business you have with me?"
"That would be because a certain someone's charm is just too great," Yae Miko said with a bewitching smile, her entire being exuding a captivating fragrance.
This sly fox loved to tease people. Su Han was naturally prepared.
Seeing that he had not been charmed by her, Yae Miko's smile grew even wider.
"I hear that you are a traveler from another world? Could you tell me some stories of other worlds? Don't worry, I won't pry into your secrets. I am just very interested in the stories of other worlds. At the same time, I am also a novelist and an editor-in-chief."
Faced with Yae Miko's proposal, Su Han suddenly remembered that this sly fox had the Yae Publishing House, which specialized in publishing novels.
Should I become a plagiarist? Should I adapt those movies, TV shows, and novels I've seen?
Thinking of this, Su Han smiled at her. "I have many stories. How about we collaborate and publish a book together? I will provide the stories, and you will publish them. How about it?"
"Oh? You're that confident? If your stories are truly that wonderful, then we can try to cooperate," Yae Miko said, very curious as to what kind of stories he could tell.
As it turned out, the material Su Han provided was a real eye-opener for her.
"An otherworldly demon lord comes to Inazuma and becomes a general of the Shogunate…"
"You can get rewards every day just by 'checking in'…"
"The 'golden finger' can also be an old grandpa? And the old grandpa is a former demon god of Inazuma? Interesting, interesting, truly interesting."
"Especially this 'breaking off an engagement' trope. It grabs the reader's attention right from the start. I think it would be good to cast the girl from the Kamisato clan in this. The villainous Kamisato Ayato comes to her door to break off the engagement, and the young adventurer angrily declares, 'Thirty years east, thirty years west!' Hahaha, this is too interesting! Su Han, I really didn't come here for nothing!"
"The story of Demon Slayer? There are creatures like that? Truly interesting. The inheritance of the Sun Breathing method, demons that can only be killed by cutting off their necks… how do you know so many stories?"
Listening to one wonderful story after another, Yae Miko was bent over with laughter.
She felt that her Yae Publishing House was about to rise to complete dominance.
These stories couldn't just be published in Inazuma, but in other nations as well.
The more Yae Miko looked at Su Han, the more she liked him, and she even began to have the idea of poaching him for herself.
