"Mr. Liu, please excuse my poor appearance, but Liu has not always been like this."
Despite his reprimand, Xiao Yun still defended Liu.
After all, he is still my student.
"How am I?" She yawned lazily, a far cry from her previous virtuous demeanor. "I just wanted to thank Mr. Liu Bai."
Xiao Yun glared at Liu upon hearing this.
Liu Bai smiled.
Without a doubt, Liu is a lazy, carnivorous older sister type.
The original Liu Yong was a romantic and talented scholar... well, the current Liu should be considered a "romantic beauty"?
"Furthermore, Mr. Liu Bai and I might have been from the same family five hundred years ago."
Xiao Yun was too lazy to respond to Liu's words.
Whoever was lustful knows in their heart.
"Zhenyi, come out and greet your benefactor."
Xiao Yun called out into the tent.
Then, a sophisticated woman with black hair, blue eyes, bangs covering her right eye, an equally stunning figure, and long, white legs emerged from the tent.
"Zhenyi greets her benefactor."
Chastity... This is one of the few stigmas that did not lose the calves.
Her original name was Wang Zhenyi, courtesy name Deqing, and pen names Jinling Nushi and Jiangning Nushi. She was a scientist and poet of the Qing Dynasty.
But seriously, how did you guys manage to alter your Hanfu like that...?
Zhenyi looks more serious than Liu, but in reality, this outfit accentuates her figure even more than Liu's.
Xiao Yun was the one who was dressed the most conservatively.
"Both of these two are my students, and they are now my teaching assistants at the school."
"Please come in, my benefactor."
Xiao Yun extended his hand to Liu Bai, inviting him.
"Although there is no fine wine or delicacies here, it is still a place to rest. If you don't mind, please come in and rest for a while."
Xiao Yun only needed to calculate the time to know that Liu Bai hadn't rested along the way, which is why he extended the invitation.
"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer—by the way, where are the students of the academy?" Bai asked as he walked into the tent.
"They were taken away by the Thousand Rock Army to find their relatives. After all, we teachers are just temporary guardians." Xiao Yun poured tea for Liu Bai, while Zhenyi found chairs for the group.
Liu Bai glanced at the teapot and the tea bags in the trash can, and understood.
Now we can provide hot water and tea... Ningguang's preparations were definitely worthwhile.
"It's not very good tea, please forgive me."
Xiao Yun served three cups of tea to the three of them.
"Phew..." Bai took the tea and blew on it a few times. "You didn't encounter any trouble during your retreat, did you?"
"No, thanks to you, we were led by Miss Xueyi for a while afterward."
"That's it..."
Just as Liu Bai nodded, he felt something soft touch the back of his head.
Well, based on Liu Bai's past experience, this thing is a chest.
What strange experiences have I accumulated?
"My benefactor, are you married?"
Liu Bai tilted his head slightly and saw Liu Wumei's smile.
"...?"
Liu Bai's mind went blank.
No, isn't it so direct?
Xiao Yun's face twitched, but Liu and Liu Bai were too close now, so Xiao Yun couldn't draw his sword.
Then, Xiao Yun turned his gaze to Huang Quan.
This lady... must be Mr. Liu Bai's female companion, right?
Huang Quan: “?”
Xiao Yun's gaze made Huang Quan tilt his head, and after thinking for a moment, he glanced indifferently at Liu, who was hugging Liu Bai from behind.
Well, Huang Quan doesn't care about Liu Bai's womanizing; he's indifferent to it all.
Anyway, if she wants to sleep with Liu Bai, no one can stop her except Liu Bai himself—and if she's in a state of lust, even Liu Bai himself can't stop her.
"To be honest, not yet."
"Hmm~ At present..." How could he not understand Liu Bai's meaning? A hint of worry appeared on Liu's face. "The beauty is not waiting for me... Hmm, so can I spend money?"
"willow!"
Xiao Hong's face turned genuinely dark.
Upon hearing such explosive words, Zhenyi blushed and turned her face away.
"You're already thinking about whoring after only a couple of calls of 'benefactor'..." Bai was speechless.
"Who told you to be so handsome and dashing, my benefactor? I, Liu, am just an ordinary woman—if you had money, you could pay me to go to your brothel."
Liu smiled gently.
"Has she always been like this?"
Liu Bai looked at the two people beside him.
Xiao Hong rubbed her forehead, unwilling to answer.
Zhenyi blushed and said, "Perhaps... it's more serious today?"
Most of the time, Liu is a fairly normal person.
"Don't talk like I'm crazy. You need one or two of these things: beautiful women, fine wine, fame and fortune."
Liu was slightly dissatisfied.
"Then go take the civil service exam." Xiao Yun lowered her hand from her forehead, her tone tinged with disappointment.
"I won't take the exam. Although I want to, I feel like it's pointless, and I don't want to be the kind of person who can be a good official." She shoved Liu Bai's head into her chest. "Even though the salary you give me isn't high, I don't have to do any work. Isn't it nice to just laze around here?"
"Give up, huh...?" Xiao Yun, as a teacher, had lost his mind.
However, Xiao Yun was able to remain rational.
"Is your current salary enough to pay for whoring?"
"...This is the first time I've known you could be so venomous, teacher."
Liu loosened his grip on Liu Bai's head due to the shock brought by those words.
Then Liu started counting on her fingers.
A month's worth of food and drinks, in-game purchases...
Oh no, if I add the money I spend on prostitution with Liu Bai, my monthly salary of three thousand might not be enough.
This kind of beauty is the kind I can't afford to sleep with.
So... should we let the beauty sleep with her?
Whether it's embarrassing or not is another matter; the main issue is that compared to the two people next to me, my advantages aren't very obvious.
"Hey, Xiao Yun, are you just tacitly assuming I'll be prostituted?" Bai sat up straight and complained.
"...I'm sorry, my benefactor." Xiao Yun said somewhat awkwardly, "I just said it subconsciously."
"Oh right! I was just joking, teacher, you took it seriously." It was a sudden realization.
"My advice is that you should make fewer jokes like that in the future."
"Mmm-hmm~~" she said perfunctorily. "My benefactor, this humble woman will refill your tea."
After taking a few steps back, Liu went around to Liu Bai's side to refill his tea.
"I said, as an artsy young woman, shouldn't you be a little more sentimental?"
Liu Bai looked at Liu, who was completely like a carnivore, and didn't know what to say.
"To still be so sentimental at such an age, wouldn't that be letting down your efforts, Lord Enjiu? Besides, right now, there are more important things to do than being sentimental?"
"..."
Ah, this person unexpectedly said something very serious—probably the only serious thing he said today.
"It's not too late to be sentimental once this matter is completely over."
After pouring the tea, Liu returned to Liu Bai's back and massaged Liu Bai's shoulders with some force.
Meanwhile, Shen He, who was standing nearby, kept observing Huang Quan's expression.
Shen He was somewhat surprised. She felt that Huang Quan should be... even angrier now?
In her common sense, a "lover" should be angry about this kind of thing, not seem indifferent like Huang Quan.
…………
After resting with the three of them for a while, Liu Bai left.
Having confirmed that he didn't need to worry too much about the post-disaster work at the camp, Liu Bai stopped wandering around and returned to the guesthouse with Huang Quan and Shen He.
"Mr. Liu Bai! Are you injured anywhere?"
Fireflies suddenly rushed towards it.
"What can I do?"
Liu Bai caught the firefly steadily.
Now, in terms of physical strength alone, Liu Bai is already stronger than Liu Ying.
Firefly seemed to sense it too, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"As for you all, are you all alright?" Bai looked at Eden Gui Naifen and the others behind Liu Ying.
"No big deal."
As Gui Naifen answered, she reached out and grabbed Liu Ying by the back of her collar.
You vicious Star Core Hunter, don't try to snuggle into Liu Bai's arms like a weak woman!
Can you at least try to save face?
Eden and I, two truly weak women, haven't even said anything yet!
Gui Naifen was actually quite calm. This Honkai Beast Tide looked scary, but compared to what she had experienced before, it was nothing.
Eden, on the other hand, looked slightly pale.
"Is everything alright, it's your first time on the battlefield?"
After Gui Naifen used her strength to drag Liu Ying away, Liu Bai looked at Eden with concern.
"...To be honest, I'm a little scared."
Eden paused for a moment, then answered.
"This is completely different from the battle I imagined... I... uh, I don't know how to describe this feeling, I just feel that you... no, you are really amazing."
Eden wore a complicated expression.
Combat cannot be simply summarized by saying "I want to go to the battlefield." She found it hard to imagine how Liu Bai, who was similar to her in some ways, adapted to the battlefield.
"It's understandable that you might not be able to adapt the first time you go to the battlefield, but these things usually get better with practice..."
"Yes, it was the boss's first time on the battlefield, and he was chased around by assassins and had a very embarrassing time," Gui Naifen comforted him from the side.
Although the "miserable" part at that time referred to the fact that he was almost attacked by two Frost Death Warriors.
