“Yes, by sea.” Bai sighed.
However, Liyue has now blocked its ports.
“You’re really unlucky, but it’s not necessarily going to be delayed,” Möbius comforted him. “Liyue can’t afford to stop business on such a large scale for an extended period of time. Besides, Liyue’s armed fleet is no pushover. Anti-Entropy can probably still deliver on time through negotiations.”
"...Of course, the risks are quite high."
Mebius added another sentence.
Most of the equipment related to Honkai will attract Honkai Beasts due to its construction and materials.
That's why we need a laboratory that won't leak Honkai energy—and incidentally, we also need to consider environmental protection.
If attacked at sea, the situation is indeed very bad.
"Anyway, I'm not in a hurry—by the way, would you like to participate in this project with Mei, PhD?"
"...Me? In what aspect?" Mei, who was fiddling with the equipment, asked curiously.
"It's mainly mechanical, but it involves some biological elements—interstellar technology."
"..." Mei wanted to ask about interstellar technology, but her intuition told her that Liu Bai was not lying, "I couldn't ask for more."
"Since you've made this request, I have no reason to refuse."
Mebius agreed.
…………
Evening, mealtime.
Although it was mealtime, most people had already eaten their fill while strolling around.
Liu Bai simply stayed in his room and went online, chatting with others as he went.
After all, there's really nothing to do right now.
Why did you go to Liyue?
Eden on the other end of the phone was somewhat surprised.
"Because it's on the way." Bai's tone was flat, but then she suddenly remembered something, "Ah, speaking of Liyue, when we first met..."
"Yes, when we first met, I had just failed my job application at Liyue Yunhan Society. It's amazing how good your memory is."
Eden's voice sounded somewhat helpless.
"However, I think I should also thank the head of Yun Jin. If she hadn't eliminated me, I probably wouldn't have met you."
This is not sarcasm.
After all, Eden wasn't the kind of woman who lacked self-awareness.
Although she has an average natural talent for opera, she has a beautiful appearance and can make money simply by dressing scantily and throwing a bunch of flirtatious clothes on stage.
As long as the singing is passable, that's fine.
Even so, the fact that Yun Jin was able to reject her outright shows that she is truly serious about art, and Eden is now genuinely grateful to Yun Jin.
"Then come over here? I'm getting all the perks I could get here."
Liu Bai casually joked.
"……it is good."
Eden's answer surprised Liu Bai.
"Anyway, I still owe you and Xiao Gui a meal, so I might as well pay it back together, and I can also revisit this place while I'm at it."
Eden's decision this time was surprisingly decisive.
"You can even experience the VIP experience of our 'Lord Liu Bai'."
"You rascal..." Bai said helplessly.
Because of cohabitation, being an agent, and being a combat teacher, Eden became less reserved after getting to know them.
While she won't become a complete idiot, she won't be able to maintain a ladylike demeanor forever either.
"This is a turbulent time here, why don't we come back later?"
"Aren't you here?" Dian asked back.
"..."
That's a statement that's truly impossible to refute.
Even the world's most beautiful woman said such words of reliance, how could Liu Bai possibly refuse?
"Then you should communicate with Gray Serpent. If Gray Serpent arranges things quickly enough, they could arrive in the middle of the night?"
"That's too... No, let's leave it at that. I'm going to find Mr. Gray Snake."
Chapter 234 On the Fox Abode Palace...
After finishing his call with Eden, Liu Bai chatted with Rita and the others about their recent situations.
...It has to be said, this is the simple and unpretentious life of a popular man.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
The sudden knocking on the window made Liu Bai turn his head instinctively.
—A little white fox is tapping on the window with its tiny paws.
"...Couldn't you have just used the main entrance, Fox Abode Palace?"
Liu Bai got up and opened the window, his tone full of helplessness.
"Going through the front door doesn't count as having an affair, okay?"
The little fox jumped down from the windowsill and instantly transformed back into a human upon landing.
"..."
Liu Bai watched this sudden change and suddenly fell into deep thought.
"My intuition tells me that Lord Liu Bai is probably overthinking things right now." Fox Palace crossed his arms and sneered, but then, like a snake, he slithered closer. "Tell me, Lord Liu Bai, what are you thinking about this time?"
"Should I really say it? It might be very rude."
"It's alright, it's alright, it's precisely because of the rudeness that it's interesting~" After saying that, Fox Palace took a deep breath on Liu Bai's neck, as if to remember Liu Bai's scent.
Then, Hu Zhaigong jumped back and landed on Liu Bai's bed, lying down in a relaxed posture.
"You ask first, and I'll warm your bed for you~" Fox Palace said, squinting her eyes.
"Then I'll really ask."
Liu Bai took a deep breath and began to formulate his thoughts.
"Um, Fox Abbot, you're a fox, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Then I remember..."
"Remember?"
"Aren't foxes canines too?"
"Of course, a fox demon is still a fox." Hu Zhaigong tilted his head, wondering what Liu Bai was about to ask.
So...how many baby buns do you have?
Liu Bai also realized this suddenly.
He didn't know how many foxes there were, but in his memory, there were about five or six puppies and about ten big dogs.
If Fox Palace didn't shrink... it would be considered a large fox, right?
"..." This question seemed to cause a momentary lapse in Fox Palace's brain.
But then, Fox Palace suddenly burst into laughter, rolling around on the bed uncontrollably.
"Hahahaha—! It was...it was such a question! How interesting! How interesting! Indeed, liking you was the best decision I ever made in my life... Hahahahahaha—!"
Fox Palace first laughed until tears streamed down his face, and then he laughed so hard he almost choked.
Liu Bai felt somewhat embarrassed as he watched Hu Zhaigong's wild laughter.
However, Fox Palace clearly had no intention of stopping. Wiping away tears of laughter, she asked with a loud laugh, "Is the next question how many times I'll give birth in one litter? And after that, will the babies be foxes or humans?"
"..."
You know what, if you think about it carefully, Liu Bai is actually quite interested.
"Your thinking is truly... brilliant! I knew you were a wonderful person the moment I saw you, but I never imagined you could be this wonderful... I can't take it anymore, I'm laughing so hard I'm exhausted."
Fox Palace's laughter finally stopped, and he lay on the bed, panting heavily.
The next moment, Fox Palace's pupils turned into the vertical pupils of a wild beast.
"However, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect... How many breasts I have, how many children I've given birth to, whether they're human or fox—why don't you, my husband, try it for me yourself..."
dong dong!
—This time it was a knock on the door.
Fox Palace glanced at the door, his pupils instantly returning to normal. He put his half-undone clothes back on, sighed, and took out the pipe from his waist.
"It's all your fault, you hit my sweet spot right away."
"That's called a punchline."
"They're all the same~"
Fox Palace seems to have relinquished its "virtuous wife fox fairy" persona, looking quite regretful.
"Mr. Liu Bai! Are you there?"
"exist."
Liu Bai got up and opened the door. Liu Ying and Gui Naifen stood at the door with worried expressions. Although the others did not open the door, they were probably listening for the sound—after all, Hu Zhaigong's laughter was really too exaggerated just now.
"Is Miss Fox Palace here too?" Liu Ying asked.
"Hello~" Fox Palace, who was lying on the bed and starting to smoke, waved to the two of them.
This pose is typical of a mature, bossy Japanese woman.
It would be even more convincing if the shrine maiden outfit were replaced with a kimono that reveals the northern hemisphere.
"...Smoking in someone else's bed is really impolite, isn't it?"
Gui Naifen made a comment and walked in with Liu Ying.
"What were you talking about just now? We could hear your loud laughter from the room, Miss Fox Palace."
"Ha...cough cough."
Thinking of Liu Bai's question earlier, Hu Zhaigong still wanted to laugh. He took a big drag while laughing, and since he had already choked, he coughed up the gas.
"Ahem... Lord Liu Bai just asked me how many baby buns I have."
"Huh? It's just two... ah."
Halfway through their conversation, Gui Naifen and Liu Ying fell into deep thought—both of them had seen the fox form of the Fox Palace.
So I suddenly understood why Liu Bai asked that question.
"The fox does seem to be..." Liu Ying couldn't help but steal glances at Hu Zhaigong, "Little Gui Zi, a fox-person from the Immortal Ship..."
"Two. I've seen the little fox people before. Fox people are still mostly human."
Gui Naifen spoke up.
The two are fundamentally different. The Fox Palace is created by foxes through cultivation, while foxes are born that way.
...Although Gui Naifen dared not say that there was no evolutionary genetic relationship between the two.
Perhaps the fox spirit is the original form of the fox people?
"I completely understand why you were smiling like that, Miss Fox Palace."
Gui Naifen felt that if Liu Bai secretly asked her this question, she would laugh too.
