According to eyewitnesses, a shirtless hooligan ran out of 'Cat's Tail Tavern' and vanished into thin air.
Feng Yi held the clothes Wendy had left, a look of helplessness on his face.
If Wendy hadn't pestered him relentlessly, he wouldn't have agreed to such an outrageous request.
After all, one hat was enough for his research!
Feng Yi casually tossed Wendy's clothes into a corner of the Serenitea Pot, planning to return them to her later.
Putting this matter aside, Feng Yi then carried his milk tea and headed towards the lounge on the second floor.
After finishing her milk tea, Eula shared a reluctant kiss with Feng Yi. She had to lead her reconnaissance team on patrol duties tomorrow, as it was her responsibility, even though she hated parting with Feng Yi.
As dusk settled, the 'Cat's Tail Tavern' concluded its business for the day. After Diona, Noelle, and Barbara left, Feng Yi and Lumine finished tidying up the tavern's affairs and returned home together.
"Lumine, you worked hard today. Go take a bath and relax. I'll make you some smashed cucumbers!"
Feng Yi said to Lumine with a smile. The tavern was packed with customers on its opening day, and he wouldn't have managed without Lumine's help.
Therefore, he wanted to prepare her favorite smashed cucumbers as a token of his gratitude.
"Mmm, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Lumine, having worked all day and sweated profusely, wanted to clean up quickly and didn't refuse Feng Yi. She took her change of clothes and went into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, it was Feng Yi's turn to shower.
As soon as Feng Yi entered the bathroom, he saw Lumine's discarded undergarments...
He had a bold idea...
Well... wash Lumine's undergarments (those with dirty minds, go reflect in a corner).
Afterward, Feng Yi spent some time stargazing with Lumine before retiring early.
The next morning, Feng Yi asked Lumine to look after the tavern's business while he, carrying two cups of Slime Jelly Milk Tea, went to the Knights' office to give them to Lisa and Jean.
They had left too early yesterday and missed the milk tea fresh out of the pot, so Feng Yi specially brought them some today.
After giving Lisa a cup, Feng Yi turned and went to Jean's office. He saw her buried in work, handling Knights' affairs.
"Jean, don't forget to balance work and rest. Come and try this freshly made jelly milk tea..."
Feng Yi placed the milk tea on Jean's desk, then went behind her to massage her temples, helping to reduce her dark circles.
Treating dark circles through massage was a long process. Feng Yi and Jean had agreed that he would come and massage her whenever he had free time.
"Mmm~~ Hmm~·~"
As Jean picked up the milk tea to take a sip, she felt Feng Yi's warm fingers continuously massaging the pressure points around her eyes. Her body involuntarily tensed up...
Jean quickly put the milk tea back on the table, afraid that she might crush the cup if she exerted too much force.
"Relax~ Relax~"
Feng Yi gently guided her by her ear.
But it seemed to have little effect. For some reason, Jean's body seemed to tense up even more.
After massaging the acupoints around her eyes, it was time to massage the acupoints around her feet. As Jean took off her leather boots, a blush spread across her face, coloring it a rosy red.
Feng Yi sat on the floor and gently massaged Jean's small feet in his lap.
"Jean? Jean? Is there anything at the Knights that I can help with? After all, I am now an honorary Knight of the Favonius Knights."
To divert Jean's attention, Feng Yi started talking about work.
"This matter? Let me think..."
As expected, the moment Jean started talking about work, she instantly got into character, her attention immediately diverted.
Feng Yi no longer had to hold Jean's leg while massaging it. (Jean always reflexively tried to pull her leg back.)
"The Knights have indeed encountered a tricky situation recently. According to reports from patrolling Favonius Knights, in the southeastern corner of Mondstadt City, a merchant from Inazuma has appeared, attempting to exchange useless stones for essential goods from Mondstadt residents...
Considering that the individual has not violated Mondstadt's 'Freedom' decree by engaging in forced buying and selling, and also taking into account Mondstadt's trade relations with Inazuma, it is difficult to forcibly drive them away.
However, if this continues for a long time, I fear that Mondstadt's trade order may be affected.
But without a suitable solution, I can only instruct the patrolling Favonius Knights to be extra vigilant..."
Jean rubbed her temples, a look of helplessness on her face.
Jean firmly opposed such unequal trade. If the merchant were to succeed, it would have an immeasurable impact on Mondstadt's market.
However, fortunately, the people of Mondstadt were not foolish and had not engaged with this strange Inazuman merchant.
"What does this Inazuman merchant look like? Is his name Teyvat?"
"Feng Yi, do you know this strange Inazuman merchant? His name seems to be Teyvat. As for his appearance, he wears sunglasses, carries a crate on his back, has thick hair with a peculiar hairstyle, and his attire is very different from Mondstadt's style, making him easily recognizable."
Jean felt that Feng Yi was indeed a traveler who had journeyed throughout Teyvat, possessing extensive knowledge. She had only briefly described the strange Inazuman merchant's behavior, and Feng Yi could immediately identify him.
"It really is him!"
Based on the description Jean gave, Feng Yi became even more certain that it was Teyvat himself.
As for whether he was from Inazuma, Feng Yi wasn't sure, but he knew that Teyvat would definitely suffer a great loss in Inazuma, losing all the Mora he earned from the Sumeru trade routes!
It was understandable; Jean wasn't like Lumine. The useless stones Teyvat brought out – Primogems – held no attraction for Jean.
These stones were not rare commodities; even Timmy, a child feeding pigeons by the Mondstadt bridge, could casually give away a handful.
The game was different from reality. On the real continent of Teyvat, the only hard currency was Mora!
Therefore, it seemed very strange that Teyvat still wanted to exchange Primogems for essential goods here.
"Don't worry, let me go and try. Perhaps I can persuade him to leave?"
Feng Yi smiled. He happened to have a business deal he wanted to discuss with Teyvat, preparing for his future departure to Inazuma.
"Alright, then be careful. Don't force it, safety first. If persuasion fails, I have other ways..."
Seeing Feng Yi actively offer his help, Jean felt a warmth of concern from him.
"Yes, Acting Grand Master Jean, I guarantee to complete the mission!"
Feng Yi said to Jean, imitating Noelle's knightly etiquette.
"Pfft~~"
Jean was amused by Feng Yi's clumsy demeanor. She then stood up and helped Feng Yi straighten his knightly oath posture.
Jean's gentle and considerate actions made their relationship less like an instructor and student, and more like a devoted wife and a husband about to go to work.
