Chapter 125 Zhongli, you lost your wallet.
"Just then, Prince Yan directly..."
As soon as Shiraki pushed open the door of the general store, he heard a loud storytelling voice coming from behind the counter.
"Aren't you afraid that Master Hu will dock your pay if you slack off here?"
Seeing Zhongli lying behind the counter, listening to a book with great interest, Bai Mu walked over and asked.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the Liyue module that Zhong Li had placed on the counter was displaying a storytelling section in the public area.
"I'm helping you watch the shop, how am I slacking off?"
Upon hearing the word "lazy," Zhongli's eyes widened, and he spoke in a serious tone.
He clearly arranged his time reasonably, so how come it became slacking off in Bai Mu's mouth?
"Ha, so you finally decided to come back?"
Just then, a somewhat familiar voice came from the inner room.
The voice was full of anger, but Bai Mu felt that there was also a trace of... resentment mixed in with it?
......
After Yae no Miko's explanation, Ying realized that she was in the wrong.
Therefore, she did not directly attack Liyue to demand Zhongli's return.
After arriving in Liyue, she first sought out Zhongli, hoping to reclaim a section of her dream through negotiation.
But two unexpected events occurred before that.
One example is that after Shadow arrived in Liyue, Shiraki missed meeting Shadow because he had to go to Mondstadt to pick up Xiangling.
Because she didn't know when Shiraki would return, Yae no Miko, who was the external brain of the Shadow, went to catch up with Gan Yu during this time.
And that's why the second accident happened.
After finding Gan Yu, Ying's external brain only contained Gan Yu, and she even abandoned her good friend.
After Yae no Miko left him, fearing that he would miss Shiraki again, Kage moved into Shiraki's house.
Fortunately, the Great Tree King was quite understanding and gave his room to Shadow; otherwise, Shadow would have taken over the room that White Tree hadn't even slept in for more than a few days.
That's why, after finding Whitewood in Mondstadt, the Great Tree King didn't immediately return to Liyue, but instead spent the night in a hotel room owned by Whitewood.
......
In a private room at Xinyuexuan.
Zhongli acted as a peacemaker, mediating the feud between Ying and Baimu.
Bai Mu glanced around the private room and nodded.
Three against one, the advantage is in my hands.
"Tell me, what do you want in order to give my dream back to me?"
After a long silence, Ying broke it by speaking first.
Since Ying had already spoken first, Bai Mu didn't need to hold back any longer. He spoke directly and said what he had been thinking about for a long time.
"I want Ba Yun Island!"
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing Bai Mu's words, Ying looked somewhat bewildered, seriously doubting that she had misheard.
“I said, I...want...eight...brew...island.”
Seeing that Ying hadn't heard clearly, Bai Mu repeated it to her, word by word.
Actually, Shiraki didn't really want Hachiyun Island.
But after all, it's a negotiation, and it's impossible for the other party to agree to your demands right away.
The reason he made such a high demand right from the start was entirely to pave the way for what he wanted to get.
Only when the initial requirements are high will the things one wants later seem reasonable to Ying.
"Absolutely not!"
As expected, just as Bai Mu had predicted, Ying directly rejected Bai Mu's outrageous request.
As the owner of Inazuma, she could not possibly divide up such a large territory of Inazuma.
"Why not? When your doll attacked me without any explanation, you didn't say no then, did you?"
Although Shiraki didn't actually intend to take Bayun Island, he still wanted to lay the groundwork for what he would ask for later.
Upon hearing Bai Mu's statement, Ying's aura hardened.
She couldn't refute Shiraki's statement.
But she would never agree to actually offer Bayun Island as compensation.
So she turned to Zhongli for help, hoping that this just God of Contracts could say a few words on her behalf.
Seeing the gaze directed at him, Zhongli was about to speak when Bai Mu stopped him with a gesture.
"Zhongli, you dropped your wallet."
Bai Mu pointed to the small bag of Mora he had just placed on the ground next to Zhong Li and said.
Zhongli sensed it briefly, then shook his head.
“I remember I had 20,000 molars in my wallet, but there are only 10,000 molars in here, so it is obviously not my wallet.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Mu's mouth twitched.
Zhongli's words were blatant price gouging.
However, he had no choice but to put another 10,000 Mora into his wallet.
"Take another look, is this your wallet?"
