Chapter 379 - 378: Return to Liyue

"Hmm, for now, I haven’t found anyone taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble. The ’Bai Ying’ identity has been handled very well, Bai Ying."

"This was also Hong Lan’s suggestion. She said that designing a special symbol and token could serve many purposes. I didn’t expect it to come in handy so quickly."

"Hong Lan? Is that the person who brought me over? It seems she’s very good; she’s helped you deal with a lot of trouble."

She had just been observing Bai Ying’s spirit. Although she showed some fatigue, compared to the last time when she needed her to clear things up, it was negligible.

It seems ’Bai Ying’ has gotten on track, and there are now many people who can share the pressure with Bai Ying.

Hearing the subtext in Durandal’s words, Bai Ying breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing she hadn’t insisted on handling every single thing herself, otherwise she would definitely have been like before, and then she would have faced punishment.

"Alright, that’s all I have to say. You continue with your work; I still need to go find Lumine and them for dinner. Remember to come back early tonight. Although you are now the leader of a gang, don’t forget that you are my person."

"Don’t worry, Miss Delezie. No matter what happens, no matter what ’Bai Ying’ eventually becomes, this will absolutely not change."

Everything she possessed now was brought to her by Durandal. She always kept this in mind. No matter how others saw her, her identity would always be Durandal’s housekeeper, her servant, and that would never change no matter what happened.

Durandal smiled faintly and nodded, her body transforming into a black mist and flying out of the room’s window.

Bai Ying returned to her seat, ready to continue working, but no matter what, she couldn’t get into a working state.

"No choice, I can only rest for a bit first. Hehe~ Let’s relax by looking at Miss Delezie’s photos."

This was also Bai Ying’s main way of relaxing. She had many photos of Durandal taken with a Kamera. Whenever she was tired, she mostly relaxed this way.

Hmm? How did the photos come about? Of course, she took them herself. Otherwise, who do you think could get so many photos of Durandal?

Of course, Durandal knew about the taking of these photos. She was just too lazy to bother; after all, Bai Ying was her own person, as long as she didn’t use her photos to do strange things.

It’s just that she wondered if Bai Ying using these photos to relax herself counted as a strange thing.

Her loyalty was beyond doubt.

Durandal, who had returned to the streets, hadn’t gone far before she was warmly welcomed by the residents of Liyue.

In addition to the enthusiastic adults, there were also many children who liked Durandal. They all ran over to greet Durandal, and some even held Durandal’s hand, wanting to play with her.

Durandal declined the children’s invitations. She still had to go to Wanmin Restaurant to find Lumine and them and didn’t have time to stay here with these little rascals.

Finally, Durandal used the excuses of "You shouldn’t go home for dinner" and "Go back to eat quickly" to hand all these disobedient little ones over to their parents.

By the time she arrived at Wanmin Restaurant, it was already ten minutes later.

As soon as she arrived at Wanmin Restaurant, she saw Xiangling placing a dish at the table where Lumine and them were sitting. Besides the expected Lumine, Shenhe, and Paimon, there was also an unexpected guest.

"Hu Tao? Why are you here?"

"What? Is there a problem with This Funeral Parlor Director coming to eat at this time? Humans are iron, food is steel; one meal missed and you’ll be starving. I happened to pass by Wanmin Restaurant, saw you all here, and came in to eat with you without thinking."

The mischievous Funeral Parlor Director Hu Tao smiled and patted the seat next to her, signaling Durandal to sit down.

That was right next to Shenhe. Durandal didn’t think too much and sat there directly, looking at the smiling Hu Tao.

"Is there nothing going on at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor? Or are you out promoting? Or did you go bother Qiqi again?"

"What do you mean ’bother Qiqi’? That sounds really unpleasant. I only did that because I hoped she could rest in peace. It was for her own good."

"But she still wants to live. Doing such things against her wishes, it’s no wonder Qiqi, who easily forgets things, dislikes you."

Hu Tao believed she was doing it for Qiqi’s good, but Qiqi felt Hu Tao was bullying her. Back and forth, Qiqi became somewhat averse to Hu Tao, usually hiding from her when they met. Even now that her attitude had improved somewhat, Qiqi would not actively seek out Hu Tao, and occasionally seeing her, she would immediately turn and run away, which made Hu Tao very helpless. She no longer wanted to bury Qiqi, so why was she still hiding from her?
