Eula does not fear the cold and even enjoys it.
Therefore, her tent does not need to consider insulation, and the space appears much more spacious than ordinary tents.
After returning, Eula stopped speaking and simply focused on preparing food for Su Xuan.
After the meal, both fell into an awkward silence with no topic of conversation.
The main reason was that Su Xuan holding the Skyfrost Nails was too terrifying.
Eula's mind was filled with images of Su Xuan suddenly getting into a conflict with someone, and then a Skyfrost Nail falling from the sky.
Everything would be destroyed except for him.
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed. For a moment, Eula was too scared to initiate a conversation with Su Xuan.
"You don't need to be nervous."
"Since you are a Diary Copy Holder, I will never harm your life, no matter what." Su Xuan smiled.
Upon hearing this, Eula immediately stared wide-eyed and asked, "Just because I am a Diary Copy Holder, you won't harm my life?"
"Can I interpret this to mean that all Diary Copy Holders have such a privilege?"
Seeing Su Xuan nod in affirmation, Eula fell into confusion.
After thinking for a long time, she looked at Su Xuan with a puzzled expression: "Is this really true?"
"I don't quite believe it."
"After all, once people have privileges, they will do many things that go beyond the rules."
"It only says I won't harm their lives, but it doesn't say that those who cross my bottom line will have a good end." Su Xuan said leisurely.
Eula: "..."
"For example, for some who really don't listen and don't learn, I will directly wall them up."
"Torturing them every now and then is more satisfying than killing them directly, isn't it?"
Su Xuan's calm words made the Spindrift Knight's hair stand on end.
She laughed awkwardly and changed the subject: "Actually, I'm very curious about you, Lisa, and Xiao Qin. I mean, um..."
"They are also Diary Copy Holders, right? And how did you two..."
"Uh, I mean, how did it develop so quickly?"
Eula nervously looked at Su Xuan.
This question shouldn't make her seem disobedient, right?
"Lisa is quick-witted. She figured out the secret of being a Diary Copy Holder on her own and actively sought me out, yearning for Changsheng."
"As for Xiao Qin, she hoped I could help Mondstadt solve the Dragon Scourge, and under Lisa's guidance, she came to me."
Su Xuan answered Eula's question honestly and explained: "Actually, even if they didn't come to me, I would eventually find them."
"After all, the Diary Copy Holders are people I have chosen and will eventually belong to me."
"It's just that they came to me voluntarily, and everyone can happily get what they want."
"If I were to actively seek them out, the outcome would be very different."
"So I always give everyone time to think and have never revealed this idea of mine."
Only then did Eula realize that Su Xuan had never mentioned in his diary who held the Diary Copy, nor had he ever said what he would do to the Diary Copy Holders.
So, this guy was slowly fishing?
He was utterly wicked.
And the clever Eula also understood the outcome if Su Xuan were to actively seek them out.
"If you were proactive, I guess it would probably be… forceful?" Eula asked tentatively.
Su Xuan nodded undeniably: "Yes, and I hold the qiankun mirror, so I'm not even afraid of you committing suicide."
Eula: "...."
This kind of thing is simply outrageous!
From the moment they obtained the Diary Copy, their fate was already sealed; they were fish on Su Xuan's chopping block.
Eula couldn't help but recall what Su Xuan had said earlier about wanting to wake up in an 800-square-meter bed and experience exclusive idol service.
It turned out that this guy wasn't just talking casually from the beginning.
"However, for many people, it's impossible for me to actively seek them out in a short period of time."
"After all, I believe there are many smart people among the Diary Copy Holders, and my interactions with them will take a lot of time."
"For others, I don't need to rush."
"So, everyone has ample time to decide the direction of this matter."
Eula finally understood Su Xuan's meaning.
Simply put, many of these Diary Copy Holders desire to achieve certain goals through Su Xuan's power.
Both sides, using such an excuse, naturally get on board first and then pay later.
Just as Su Xuan conveniently helped Lisa collect a lot of alchemy knowledge, this kind of behavior is the subsequent emotional filling between the two parties.
Ultimately, the Diary Copy Holders are the party that benefits more, and the reason is simple: it's because they are Su Xuan's people.
"But then…" Su Xuan changed the subject, scrutinizing Eula up and down: "Your situation is really troublesome."
"You yearn to integrate into Mondstadt, hoping that the Citizens of Mondstadt will change their views on Lawrence."
"Leaving aside the Citizens of Mondstadt's prejudice against Lawrence, most of your Lawrence family's actions are indeed unbearable."
"Take your uncle, Schubert, for example. That guy, in order to revive the glory of Lawrence, collaborated with the Fatui to betray Mondstadt's city defenses."
"You say, with such actions, even if you work yourself to the grave, the Citizens of Mondstadt will never change their opinion of the Lawrence family."
Eula: "?"
The Fatui's coveting of Mondstadt's city defenses has long been no secret.
At the beginning of the Dragon Scourge, the Fatui had already begun to pressure Xiao Qin, hoping that Mondstadt's city defenses would be managed by the Fatui.
Now, the Dragon Scourge problem has been resolved by Su Xuan, and the Fatui's hope of taking over the city defenses has been dashed, but they didn't expect them to actually approach Schubert.
"What you're talking about should be future events. I remember you seem to be able to foresee the future."
Su Xuan had mentioned the past and future in his diary, and Eula was not surprised by this.
However, she never expected that her uncle would actually collude with the Fatui to betray Mondstadt's city defenses.
"Hmm, I'm not sure if my existence will change any of this, but when you go back tomorrow, you can discuss it with Xiao Qin and the others."
"It's not too late to pay attention to your uncle's behavior before making a decision."
"That's why I said your situation is very troublesome because you actively chose to protect the Citizens of Mondstadt."
"If they don't appreciate it, there's nothing I can do."
"However, if you wish for the Citizens of Mondstadt to stop their verbal abuse and pointing fingers, then fight fire with fire."
"I can provide you with the biggest backing. Even if you want Mondstadt to run red with blood, I can help you."
Eula's breath hitched.
Such a result was too terrifying, and it wasn't what she wanted, yet Eula's heart felt warm.
Because Su Xuan had directly made his stance clear, standing by her side.
This kind of unwavering support was something Eula had never dared to imagine in her life.
Moreover, Su Xuan was absolutely right. Protecting the Citizens of Mondstadt was Eula's own choice. If others didn't appreciate her efforts, what could she do?
"Of course, there's another way to make the Citizens of Mondstadt look at you differently."
"Currently, not many people know my identity. I can play the role of a villain invading Mondstadt."
"Then, at a critical moment for Mondstadt's survival, you can bravely step forward and defeat me, chasing me away."
"I imagine, out of fear that I would continue to harm Mondstadt, the Citizens of Mondstadt would no longer speak coldly to you, who managed to drive me away."
After hearing the scenario Su Xuan proposed,
the proud and elegant Spindrift Knight almost burst out laughing, disregarding her image. She quickly waved her hand and said, "No need, no need."
"Your status is so noble, how could I let you act out such a defeated role with me?"
"You don't need to worry about my matters. In fact, there aren't any major problems."
Currently, Eula was not in the mood to think about Mondstadt's messy affairs.
Instead of thinking about Mondstadt, she'd rather think about how to interact with Su Xuan.
After all, as a Diary Copy Holder, she would eventually fall into his hands.
Getting into the 800-square-meter bed earlier would at least secure a good spot.
"I remember you wanted to collect exclusive idols. I have some knowledge of dance."
"How about I perform one for you now?" Eula said with sparkling eyes.
Su Xuan immediately gave a thumbs up: "I've long heard of the Spindrift Knight's elegant Ritual Dance. Su indeed wishes to witness it."
"However, I do hope that when Miss Spindrift Knight performs this dance, she only keeps her long leather boots and cape."
"Other items cover your brilliance too much, so please remove them all."
Eula: "!?"
