"Are you looking for death?" Ye Lan feigned anger and reached out to pinch Liu Bai's thigh.
"Just kidding—one of the currently decided uses is Sumatra."
Liu Bai slapped Ye Lan's hand away.
"Su Mei? You don't trust that woman either?" Ye Lan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"Hmm... rather than distrust, it's more like I find it strange?"
Liu Bai hesitated for a moment.
"After all, Su Mei's motives are a bit strange, aren't they? I just want to confirm Su Mei's current attitude."
If there were no indication of affection level, Liu Bai could simply treat Su Mei as a kindred spirit.
However, with the favorability rating displayed, Su Mei's eccentricities become somewhat impossible to ignore.
Although it wasn't exactly suspicion, Liu Bai still wanted to dispel this doubt—otherwise, one day the doubt might turn into suspicion.
“Su Mei is indeed a very strange woman.” Ye Lan wholeheartedly agreed.
As for Su Mei's statement that she had never harbored any ill will towards Liu Bai, Ye Lan did not say it. After all, Liu Bai certainly knew more about this than she did, and she also understood Liu Bai's reasons for doing so.
Wasn't her initial bad attitude towards Su Mei simply because this guy's motives for coming to Liyue were also strange?
Ye Lan wholeheartedly supports this matter.
"Have you thought of any other uses?"
"Other uses... putting it in a pot?"
"……what?"
"Ye Lan, do you know what things I can't do?"
Liu Bai's eyes flashed.
"..." This seemingly profound statement made Ye Lan fall into deep thought.
Liu Bai did not disturb Ye Lan's thoughts.
What are the things he can't do?
It's a confession!
Unless Liu Bai gathers all the women who have a high opinion of him together and then announces, "I like you all."
Otherwise, there would definitely be a sequence.
This leads to contradictions due to the order of events... It's awful just thinking about it.
However, there are just too many people now, so Liu Bai can't do anything like "I like everyone and Nia".
Not to mention that he originally preferred to have it all.
I hate multiple-choice questions with only correct answers.
So the love potion is giving him an opportunity; if a stranger drinks the love potion and tries to ambush him, he will refuse.
But if the whole bunch of people in the pot, who were left with nothing but window paper, drank it, then what was he refusing?
Ye Lan thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Liu Bai meant by those words.
Liu Bai didn't intend to tell Ye Lan proactively—anyway, Ye Lan would definitely make another move if given the chance.
Although Liu Bai was knocked down and his pot was stolen that day, he actually had some trump cards up his sleeve. Not counting the pocket watch, there were also the pseudo-Herrschers he had subdued before. Those girls could easily have beaten Ye Lan to a pulp.
Then Liu Bai lay down—but the appearance of Shi Bao afterward was indeed quite dangerous, after all, just as they were about to have some foreplay, his clothes were taken off, his pocket watch was gone, and summoning the Herrscher was just sending Shi Bao to his doom.
It was thanks to Shi Bao's adorable demeanor that things could have really gone wrong. Ye Lan was probably genuinely frightened that day, keeping her body tense and shielding him the whole time. She has been much more well-behaved since then, mainly using words to seduce him these past two days without resorting to physical violence.
After a while, Shi Bao returned with Peruvieri, his hair completely messed up by the wind.
Peruvieri maintained a cold expression and avoided looking at Liu Bai.
"Huh? You two had a fight?"
The baby, who could already read the atmosphere, immediately realized the situation—after all, it was quite obvious.
“No.” Peruvieri’s tone was curt.
"Peilu, go and order some food for Fu Shi," Ye Lan said, trying to shoo him away. "Don't refuse, Fu Shi didn't bring any money, did he?"
Peruvieri stared at Yelan, but since she had just initiated the cold war and left, she couldn't refuse Yelan's reasonable words to get rid of her.
"Let's go, Fu Shi."
"Great!"
(I recognize treasure... Hmph.)
Peruvieri glanced at Fu Shi. Could it be considered cute that Liu Bai tricked her so much?
Once Peruvéli was out of sight, Yelan immediately changed her expression; "Quickly, bring out the Elixir of Love."
"...?" Bai was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant. "Wait, Ye Lan, what are you thinking about?"
"And I'll help you improve your father-daughter relationship," Ye Lan said casually, with a hint of amusement in her voice. "My life motto is that if you're going to pursue excitement, then go all the way."
"Don't talk like you're the one drinking!"
Liu Bai's lips twitched.
“It’s not like you have to pour a whole bottle. If you’re worried she’ll go crazy, then pour a little less.” Ye Lan continued her devilish whisper to Liu Bai, “Don’t you want to hear what Pei Lu really thinks about you?”
"..."
"Half a bottle... no, maybe a third of a bottle is enough. It might even bring a bright, sunny smile to that child's face."
"..."
It's... actually quite tempting.
Liu Bai silently took out a bottle of Love Elixir.
Seeing this, Yelan very considerately pushed the coffee that Peruvier hadn't finished over to her.
"call……"
Drugging his own "daughter"—it was the first time he'd done something so illegal and disorderly, and strangely, it felt a little bit exciting?
Cough cough, no, they're not actually father and daughter, so what's the point of getting excited!
Liu Bai pulled out the stopper. Just to be on the safe side, Liu Bai only added about one-third of the amount as Ye Lan had instructed.
Then Yelan put the coffee back in its original place.
I casually started watching videos.
A short while later, Peruvieri and Fu Shi returned with the plates.
Peruvieri sat back down, glanced at Ye Lan who had moved to sit next to Liu Bai, said nothing, picked up her slightly cold coffee and drank it down in one gulp.
[Peruveli's Affection Level: 6898 (Love Elixir)]
"...They actually added sugar?"
Chapter 227 No one shall be allowed to take away "Father's" love.
The coffee, which was sweeter than expected, made Peruvier frown.
However, since Peruvian had never drunk the Love Elixir before, she didn't have any immediate reaction. But then again, even if she knew she had been drugged, Peruvian probably wouldn't have reacted in this state.
"Father, would you like some dessert?"
Peruvelli pushed the food that had been brought over earlier from in front of Shi Bao to in front of Liu Bai.
It was as if she wasn't the one who had been giving Liu Bai the cold shoulder before.
Shi Bao: "..."
Shi Bao's eyelids twitched, and he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Oh well, it's just a matter of lending a hand anyway.
but……
"...Are you two father and daughter?"
Shi Bao reached out and grabbed a piece of fried chicken, looking at Peruvier with a strange expression.
— In front of outsiders, Peruvieri never made her father-daughter relationship public.
“That’s right.” Peruvieri now seemed indifferent to this exposure.
"..." Shi Bao scratched his head, clearly struggling to find the right words, "...I really can't tell."
"Can't you see?"
Peruvelle got up, sat down on the other side of Liu Bai, then reached out and took Liu Bai's arm, resting her head intimately on Liu Bai's shoulder.
"now what?"
"You can't tell now! After all, you two aren't related by blood at all!"
Seeing Peruvelle's composed demeanor, Shi Bao couldn't help but slam his fist on the table and shout loudly.
There are just too many flaws. Are they treating her like an idiot?
Forget about appearances, your names aren't even from the same region, okay?
Shi Bao's commotion immediately attracted the attention of those around him, and Shi Bao couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Fortunately, when the others saw that it was Shi Bao's face, no one said anything, they just showed a little curiosity.
This town is very tolerant of treasure-hunting—although this tolerance is only indirectly related to treasure-hunting.
In this situation, even if Shi Bao knew that he had benefited from Fu Hua's influence again, he had no intention of clarifying his identity.
Somewhat awkwardly, Shi Bao withdrew his hand and muttered under his breath, "So what are you two up to?"
To be honest, the way these two are behaving now makes them look more like a couple than a father and daughter.
“There are no ghosts,” Peruvieri said with a natural expression. “It’s just that it’s convenient because we’re not related by blood.”
As she spoke, Peruvieri hugged her even tighter.
"...?"
Is it more convenient to have no blood relation?
No blood relation?
No……?
Shi Bao suddenly looked like a "kitten, universe.jpg" and his pupils visibly dilated.
For the first time, she realized that there was a language in the world that she could understand each word individually, but could not comprehend when put together.
The treasure was suddenly sunk.
—It's not that Shi Bao lacks sexual knowledge, but rather that he rarely uses his knowledge in this area most of the time.
"Father, you must feel the same way, right?"
Peruvier nuzzled against Liu Bai's shoulder like a cat, then looked up and gazed at Liu Bai's profile.
The already eerie pupils now emitted a gaze that seemed to suck Liu Bai's soul into them.
...In short, yandere.
"……perhaps."
Under such a "heavy" gaze, Liu Bai had no room to refuse—or rather, he didn't want to try to see how Peruvier would react if he refused.
After receiving Liu Bai's affirmative answer, Peruvieri smiled happily and rested her head on Liu Bai's shoulder with a blissful expression.
Shi Bao: "..."
Shi Bao looked at Ye Lan and pointed at Peruvier with an expression of incomprehension.
Even though she disliked Fu Hua's conventional approach and even though she herself enjoyed challenging the rules, she now felt that Peruvier's behavior was somewhat extreme.
Ye Lan didn't care at all; in fact, she had already started recording.
No matter how much Peruvieri makes a fuss, she still has to call Liu Bai "father" on the surface, while she... calling Liu Bai "dad" is just for fun, okay?
