The next day, in a corner of Mondstadt City Square.
The Fatui envoy arrogantly said to Jean: "This is our stance."
"If you cannot immediately eliminate the rampaging Stormterror, then hand over Mondstadt's city defenses to us, the Fatui."
....
Jean, who hadn't slept all night, had dark circles under her eyes and seemed unable to believe her ears.
Hand over Mondstadt's defenses to the Fatui?
What's the difference between entrusting one's city defenses to another country and selling Mondstadt?
The Fatui are getting more and more out of line.
Just as Jean was about to reprimand the Fatui for their unreasonableness, she happened to see a purple figure appear in the distance, walking towards the Knights of Favonius.
"Lisa!" Jean was stunned, no longer paying attention to the Fatui envoy's subsequent words, and ran directly towards Lisa.
"Huh?" The Fatui envoy was dumbfounded on the spot: "I haven't finished speaking, why did she run off?"
Knights of Favonius Library.
Lisa, as usual, sat lazily by the window, enjoying the sunlight bathing her entire body.
Her reborn mood couldn't be better.
Not only that, but with the Limit Break, the element power she could now control was far stronger than before.
"Mmm..." Lisa stretched out her arms, letting out a comfortable hum.
Last night's frenzy left an unforgettable aftertaste.
"That guy is really something."
"It felt like my mind was completely emptied in an instant, and I almost turned into a real idiot," Lisa lightly licked the corner of her mouth.
She didn't know what she was thinking, but she pursed her lips and smiled: "It's really hard to imagine if Barbara and the others would just die in his hands."
Bang! The sound of the library door being heavily pushed open interrupted Lisa's thoughts.
Jean rushed in excitedly, but the moment she saw Lisa, she seemed a little bewildered.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Jean felt that Lisa, in front of her, was more alluring than before.
"You... last night..." Jean stammered.
Lisa waved her hand and said, "Sigh, my own matters are easy to resolve, but..."
When the busy night ended, Lisa, having recovered her senses, naturally didn't forget about Mondstadt.
She suggested to Su Xuan that this could be an opportunity to take down Jean in one fell swoop.
However, Su Xuan didn't answer anything, patted her hip, and went to sleep on his own.
Even after breakfast this morning, Su Xuan didn't mention it.
Lisa understood, fearing that speaking too much would backfire, so she didn't pursue the matter further.
But the answer was already obvious.
"Regarding Mondstadt, he doesn't seem to have any intention of intervening," Lisa spread her hands helplessly.
Jean was stunned, the energy she had just mustered instantly drained, and she murmured, "How could this be?"
But soon, Jean seemed to think of something else and quickly asked Lisa, "Then how did you succeed last night?"
Lisa was quite generous, not shy at all, and with a pursed-lip smile, she said, "What else can a man and a woman alone do?"
"Of course, I enthusiastically and actively opened the door myself."
Upon hearing this, Jean felt a sudden flush of heat all over, her somewhat tired face instantly turning red down to her neck.
"Li... Lisa... you... you..." Jean stared at her friend, dumbfounded.
At this moment, her mind felt unable to think.
This kind of thing completely exceeded her common sense.
Seeing Jean's flustered appearance, Lisa was unperturbed, but in an instant, she put away her usual laziness, and with a serious expression, said:
"Jean, do you still remember the children the Fatui's Dottore took from Mondstadt a few years ago?"
Jean was startled, and her face immediately turned extremely grim, saying, "I remember, those children are still missing to this day."
"That's right! The reason was that our Mondstadt couldn't deal with The Dragon Ursa back then, and Dottore used the excuse of killing Ursa to make us owe him a favor."
"Then, using that excuse, he conscripted soldiers from Mondstadt and took a group of children for human experiments."
"Compared to them..."
"The price I paid and the returns I got, frankly, I made a profit."
"Moreover, Su Xuan is handsome and well-built. Thinking about it this way, I always feel like he's been giving, and I've been enjoying."
Jean: "..."
It's truly you.
"But now is not the time to talk about this, Su Xuan he..."
Just then, Jean was startled, a ripple passing through her mind.
It was the notification of a diary update.
[The freedom of Mondstadt's winds is indeed great.]
[Perhaps it is precisely this freedom that causes the Citizens of Mondstadt to become bewildered when faced with sudden situations.]
[For example, at this very moment, facing Mondstadt's destruction by Dvalin, the Citizens of Mondstadt look helplessly at their ruined homes, unsure what to do.]
[This is also why they have always relied on Jean Gunnhildr.]
[It's even so absurd that even finding work like looking for cats and dogs is left to Jean, the Acting Grand Master.]
[However, at such a critical moment, Jean has to face Dvalin and the diplomatic pressure from the Fatui.]
[She has no time to participate in the reconstruction of Mondstadt, so Mondstadt is currently in a temporary shutdown.]
[However, for me, this is just content for my travel diary.]
[Just like last night when Lisa asked me if I wanted to help Mondstadt.]
[I admit, Lisa gave me a very good feeling, and we had a great time together.]
[But compared to helping Mondstadt, I find it easier to accept someone like her, who comes only for herself.]
[Perhaps I hope our relationship can be simpler, even if there are interests involved, it's best if they are only her personal interests.]
[Of course, the blonde aunt, that is, the lovely Ying Mei, has returned to Mondstadt.]
[I think, with her kindness and nobility, she will definitely help Mondstadt deal with the Dragon Scourge.]
[And I just need to enjoy the poetry and songs of Mondstadt.]
"How could this be!" Jean was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Seeing this, Lisa shook her head helplessly, but inwardly, she grumbled about Su Xuan: What a bad guy, the blonde aunt already knew last night that Barbatos would trick her. It's good enough if she doesn't draw her sword when she sees Barbatos, let alone help Mondstadt?.
