The Otherworld Genshin Impact? What happened to Cyberteyvat?!

Page 278

"Well, look, I'm still serving as Lord Tianquanxing's bodyguard today. I still have to write a report for the captain when I get back."

In short, the implication is that my leader and Tianquan Star of Liyue are both watching me, so you can't just kill me like this!

You can understand that, right?!

Hehehe—

The woman let out a soft, unnerving laugh. "No need to be so nervous."

Why do you think I'm nervous?!

"Since it's such a coincidence that I met the leader's sweetheart in Liyue, and I just received a gift from you in Mondstadt, I've prepared a return gift for you. I can give it to you now."

The woman's tone when she used the word "coincidence" was particularly intriguing, but Luo Mu's heart immediately jumped into his throat.

Gift?

He didn't know what gift the lady had prepared, but he was well aware of the lavish gift he had given her in Mondstadt!

He specifically asked the leader to take a screenshot of the rag and give it to the lady. At the time, he thought, "I'm about to leave, why should I be afraid of these things?" Who would have thought that he would be brought to his door by the victim in Liyue!

"Well, what is it?"

He gave an awkward laugh. "As a young junior, it is only right for me to give a gift to Your Excellency, the Executive Officer. How could I dare to accept a return gift from you?"

To put it another way, I was young and naive, so please be lenient with me!

"Oh dear, I really love the gift you gave me, so there's no need to be so polite—"

As the woman spoke, she even straightened up and reached out to take out an exquisite gift box tied with a bow from her bag.

Luo Mu's face darkened.

Everything is already prepared, and you're still telling me it was just a coincidence?!

But no matter what he thought to himself, the woman smiled and placed the gift box in front of him.

"Here, take it~ Otherwise I'll be very sad."

This is a threat.

He recognized it immediately.

No one wants to know what this sad person might do.

Therefore, even though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and extend his hand:

"Then... thank you, Your Excellency."

"Hehe, that's more like it."

The woman placed the gift box in his hand, her pinky finger brushing against his palm, whether intentionally or unintentionally, bringing a momentary tingling and itchy sensation.

"Let's open it and take a look."

He glanced at the seemingly friendly lady in front of him, then gave up and simply opened the gift box in his hand.

It was wrapped in another layer of paper packaging inside, and it looked very pretty...

"chocolate?"

Luo Mu's expression was strange.

He subconsciously glanced at Ye Lan and Ning Guang beside him, and then saw that their expressions were similar to his own.

What trick is this woman playing? Could she have poisoned this stuff?

"I made this myself on my way to Liyue. It's not anything particularly valuable, but as Liyue would say—"

The lady gracefully raised her hand, her silver-purple single eye smiling beyond her black, butterfly-like ball mask, her red lips curving upwards.

"It's a small gift but a big sentiment, right? I just hope the taste won't be too bad."

He looked at the chocolate in his hand, his face expressionless, but his heart was screaming.

System, system! Check it for me quickly! Will it cause any problems if I eat it?!

Theoretically, nothing should happen.

What do you mean by "theoretically"?!

In the movie theater, Thor covered his mouth and chuckled.

It's fine to eat the chocolate, but who knows what Miss Rosalyn might do after eating it!

Clearly, the chocolates the lady made were indeed a genuine gift for her own deity; as for putting on such a grand display, it was purely to scare people.

So the group of people crammed next to Thor in the movie theater were quite happy.

"How naughty, little Rosalyn!"

"This guy's just waiting to get beaten up!"

From Miss Gui Zhong.

……

On Luo Mu's side.

"Your Excellency, Executive Officer—"

Ningguang spoke up at this moment.

However, as soon as she opened her mouth, Luo Mu made a snap decision and took a big bite of the heart-shaped chocolate in her hand.

"Click."

Chew, chew, chew.

Anyway, the system girl said everything's fine, even if it's just theoretically speaking—

Luo Mu and Ning Guang looked at each other while chewing on chocolate, then Luo Mu tilted his head:

"It looks pretty delicious?"

Ningguang: "..."

The Divine Calculation System Girl won't be [illegible] in Liyue! : Chapter 365 "Ordinary People"

In any case, after he finished the chocolate in his hand, apart from feeling that it tasted pretty good, he didn't really feel that there was anything wrong with it.

That's for sure.

After all these years, this wasn't the first time the lady had made chocolate for her god. She had long since figured out Luo Mu's tastes, so this chocolate was almost made exactly according to Luo Mu's preferences. It was a version that had been honed over many years, so it would be strange if he didn't think it was delicious.

However, Luo Mu was quite confused about the current situation.

So what exactly is going on now?

I can't expect a lady to be so good-natured as to actually give me a piece of chocolate after I've given her a hard time, can I?

"Alright, Ms. Ningguang, right... we can talk about our collaboration now."

Before Luo Mu could figure it out, the lady had already turned her gaze away and said this to Ning Guang.

However, not to mention Ningguang with her outstanding resume, even Luo Mu could see that the lady didn't care about Ningguang, the star of Tianquan.

Fortunately, Ningguang was shrewd and experienced, and she always had a smile on her face in the face of this situation. They soon arrived at a luxurious private room.

Ningguang hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Luo Mu and Ye Lan:

"You two may also come in. Although the Abyss Order probably wouldn't dare to act presumptuously in front of His Excellency the Executor, it's always better to be cautious."

Of course, in reality, according to Ningguang's initial idea, when facing a person like the lady, it would be best for Yelan to stay outside out of caution, and she could face the lady alone.

But the current situation is clearly... not what she expected.

Luo Mu didn't have any objections. Since things had already come to this, he figured they might as well go together.

……

The content of Ningguang and the lady's meeting was not particularly strange. It mainly consisted of cooperation in responding to the Abyss Order's operation, as well as some exchanges of equipment and technology.

In any case, for Luo Mu, he was basically just standing behind Ningguang, lost in thought, cosplaying as the spirit behind her.

Ningguang and the lady's conversation ended in just half an hour.

As the two big-name protagonists left, the woman specifically looked at him again:

"We'll meet again, hehe—"

Luo Mu bared his teeth.

I didn't say we couldn't meet, but could we wait until I could hang you up and whip you before we meet?

After silently cursing to himself, he watched the woman get into the car and drive away, then turned his head—

Ningguang and Yelan were both looking at him.

"Uh--"

Luo Mu's expression froze.

"You really can't judge a book by its cover, Mr. Luo Mu."

Ningguang looked at him with a half-smile, "Well, you can't say that. Mr. Luo Mu is not bad-looking, but what is unexpected is that you have such powerful connections that you are so familiar with that executive officer."

"Please don't."

He feels like his head has gotten a whole size bigger.

How can I deal with one after another?!

And the previous one was troublesome enough, but this one in front of us is no simple character either!

"I'm just an ordinary police officer. I've only been in Teyvat for less than two months. What extraordinary abilities could I possibly have? Please don't believe me."

"Mr. Luo Mu is mistaken. Someone who can earn a return gift from Zhi Dong's executive officer is hardly an ordinary person, is he?"

Ningguang raised her slightly, her eyes tinged with a faint red, and said, "Moreover, Mr. Luo Mu, have you forgotten that I started from the status of an ordinary person, as you described me, and have risen to where I am today?"

"this--"

He honestly raised his hand, "Sorry, sorry, I spoke without thinking, please don't mind."

He is very pure in that he admits his mistakes.

"Hehe, there's no need for that. I was just making a sigh."

A flicker of memory seemed to cross Ningguang's eyes, but her gaze quickly returned to him, still bearing that composed smile that seemed unbreakable.

"Someone like Mr. Luo Mu, even if he is still an ordinary person now, is still an ordinary person who cannot be ignored. Let me boast a little here, this is my experience as a person of the same kind."

"If what Lord Tianquanxing said is considered self-praise, then I'm afraid very few people would dare to praise themselves."

Luo Mu was quite sincere in saying this.

The status of the Liyue Seven Stars is absolutely extraordinary in any place. An ordinary person who can reach this level is probably no less than Old Ma, well, no matter which Old Ma.

Regardless, Ningguang is undoubtedly a person of extraordinary talent and beauty. The reason she can't get the upper hand in front of women is largely due to the age difference.

Ningguang did not continue on this topic.

"I appreciate Mr. Luo Mu's praise, but it would be better if we didn't chat for too long at other people's doorsteps. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you two a little more on the way back. Of course, I'll pay you overtime."

……

The return journey was uneventful, suggesting that the Abyss Order cancelled the operation after learning that the information might have been leaked.

Qunyu Pavilion.

Sitting in the car, Ningguang looked in the direction Luo Mu and Ye Lan had left, and raised her hand to signal to her assistant beside her.

“Investigate a detailed resume of that Mr. Romün in Mondstadt, including everything he did after arriving in Mondstadt.”

"Yes."

With no outsiders around, Ningguang dropped her unchanging smile, closed her eyes, and quietly recalled the lady's behavior after meeting Luo Mu today.

Although the other party claimed that he came to Liyue for the sake of the Abyss Order, anyone with discerning eyes could probably see that the executor was actually after that man.

...even if this seems incredible.

Ningguang confirmed all the details in her memory once again, and was certain of her hypothesis.

Having gotten to where she is today, she still has some confidence in her judgment. And what follows is—
