"Waaah!"
"Is this really an enjoyment one can have at home!?"
Amber stepped onto the bluestone tiles with her small bare feet, looking at the mist-shrouded clear pool before her, her heart filled with excitement.
A moment later, Eula, wrapped in a bath towel, followed her.
Looking at the super-large hot spring pool before her, her beautiful eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.
Collei said with a beaming smile, "Enjoy it properly, Eula, Amber."
"Master specially instructed to let you guys have a good soak."
Amber nodded happily. "Collei, help me thank Master Ye Xi properly!"
"I've never enjoyed this kind of treatment before!~"
"It's great!"
In Mondstadt, they all lived in the Knights of Favonius dormitories; where would they have this kind of enjoyment?
Eula actually preferred cold water pools.
She liked everything icy: chilled fine wine, cold showers, icy desserts.
However, trying hot water occasionally wasn't bad; she couldn't let down other people's kindness!
If she could drink a bit of ice-cold beverage while soaking in a hot bath, it would surely be even more enjoyable!
"By the way, Eula, Master also prepared cold drinks for you!"
"Eh!?"
Eula was startled. She hadn't expected that just as she thought of cold things, Collei would mention cold drinks.
Collei took out a bottle covered in frost and explained, "Master said you like cold things. This is fruit wine Master had someone buy in the city!"
"This is a specialty of Sumeru! Taste it!"
"Fruit wine!"
Eula swallowed her saliva. She was very curious in her heart: why would Ye Xi know her preferences?
She couldn't figure it out, but she hurriedly accepted the fine wine. "Th-Thank you, then I won't be polite!"
"Mm! I'll go get you a cup!"
Collei went to get a cup excitedly.
"Hehe, Eula."
"I wonder who was secretly muttering about him being a big philanderer."
"You didn't expect him to be so considerate, right?"
Hearing Amber whispering in her ear, Eula huffed and stammered, "Al-Although that's true, I still feel he is a philanderer..."
"Tch, getting a bargain and still acting innocent!"
"Eh!?"
Eula's pretty face turned red, and she said brazenly, "Amber, you actually mock me!"
"This grudge, I have recorded it!"
Seeing Amber suddenly fall silent, sitting silently on the stone bench and starting to rinse her fair skin, Eula couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Amber, am... am I very petty?"
Her first impression of Ye Xi was very good; he had high attractiveness and a good figure, feeling very reliable.
It was just that, after knowing Ye Xi had so many wives as beautiful as celestial beings, she always felt Ye Xi was a pervert.
He must have used many methods to get so many wives.
And now, having received his care and favor, she still thought this way in her heart.
This made her feel that her personality was somewhat terrible.
Amber nodded solemnly and pretended to be serious. "Eula, you can't be like this!"
"This is called looking at others through colored glasses! It is a kind of arrogance and prejudice!"
"Like this, how is it different from those people in Mondstadt who look at you with cold eyes?"
"Eh—!"
Eula stood up instantly, her eyes filled with panic.
That's right!
Those people in Mondstadt labeled her as a [Descendant of Sinners] just because of the Lawrence Clan's bad track record!
If she labeled Ye Xi as a [Philandering Pervert] just because he was surrounded by groups of beauties...
Then wouldn't her behavior be exactly the same as those Mondstadt people!
"I... I didn't mean to!"
"I actually became the person I hate the most! Wh-What should I do!"
"Pfft—"
Amber finally couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. She reached out and pinched Eula's cheek. "Hehehe, Eula, you are so cute!"
"You actually laughed at me!"
Eula slapped away Amber's small hand and frowned slightly. "Hurry and help me think of a way; I feel like I'm a bad person!!"
Seeing Eula's serious face, Amber crossed her arms and said, "What way is there? You just thought it in your heart, you didn't show any rude behavior to Master Ye Xi."
"As long as you change your inner thoughts, won't it be fine?"
"But... I feel a sense of immorality in my heart! I feel like I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Perhaps because she had been treated with cold eyes since childhood, she placed incomparable importance on this matter!
She absolutely would not allow herself to become that kind of person!
Even thinking about it in her heart wouldn't do!
"Then... how about you go find Master Ye Xi and apologize?"
Hearing this suggestion from Amber, Eula's eyes lit up.
Although apologizing was very shameful, it would at least relieve her of the burden in her heart!
Just as she was thinking, Collei returned excitedly with the wine cup.
"Collei! Where is Master Ye Xi!"
"I have something important to find him for!"
"Eh!?"
Collei was startled and spoke, "Master, he should be soaking in the pool next door!"
"Next door?"
Eula looked around and discovered the bamboo fence nearby.
So she walked straight to the corner, ignoring even her bath towel falling to the ground, and shouted towards the other side, "Master Ye Xi, are you there!?"
Next door.
Ye Xi had just finished eating, hugged Nahida for a while, and then hugged Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, Par.
It counted as making up for their hard work over the past two or three days.
Then he came to the pool to have a comfortable soak.
After thrashing Azhdaha today, he had quite a bit of dust on him.
Unexpectedly, just as he sat into the pool, he heard a shout from next door, which really gave him a start.
This voice is...
"Eu... Eula!?"
"Is it Miss Eula!?"
Eula's voice came from the other side of the fence: "Yes! Master Ye Xi, I have a very important matter to tell you!"
Ye Xi: ? ? ?
What matter is there that has to be said at this time?
This is a bathroom, isn't it strange?
To discuss serious matters, shouldn't one be dressed neatly in a discussion?
This... being naked and then chatting together.
It was just like soaking together.
To be honest, this feeling was a bit shameful, and slightly a bit perverted.
The key was, the game never said Mondstadt people had a custom of [discussing serious matters across a fence while men and women bathe]!
"Cough..."
"Please speak, I'm listening!"
At this time, in the changing room on Eula's side.
After the girls tidied up the tableware, they came to soak together as usual.
Dehya, Ayexia, Setaria...
They were all there.
Even Ganyu and Keqing came uninvited.
There was no helping it; the pool here was too comfortable. Not taking a good soak while living here would be doing a disservice to every day spent here!
Just as everyone was chatting and laughing while taking off their clothes, Dehya suddenly made a silencing gesture.
"Shh—!"
"There seems to be movement inside!"
The girls instantly quieted down, secretly gathered in the corner, and pricked up their ears.
Paimon and Lumine had expressions of watching the drama, even holding their breath.
Eula said loudly, "Master Ye Xi, thank you for your hospitality! Actually, I have a prejudice against you!"
"I'm sorry! I saw you have so many wives and felt you were a philandering person."
"You must have used some means to get everyone's affection."
"I didn't expect you to be so considerate and even prepare cold drinks for me!"
"...I, I feel my heart is very bad! I hope to receive your forgiveness!"
Hearing Eula's loud shout, Ye Xi was stunned. "Just because of this!?"
"Yes!"
"I don't allow myself to become a prejudiced person!"
Ye Xi said speechlessly, "Uh... it's human nature for you to think so."
"No matter who sees my life, they would think so, right?"
"Moreover, what you said isn't wrong either."
Saying he was a philanderer?
Wasn't that said correctly?
Among the men in the entire Sumeru City, who didn't say he was a philanderer?
Ye Xi's words made Eula dumbfounded.
She thought Ye Xi would be angry, saying something like he entertained her with good intentions but was discriminated against instead.
She hadn't expected that Ye Xi actually didn't care at all!
What a broad-minded person!
Just as she was thinking, Ye Xi's voice came from next door.
"However, there is one thing you must know. Dehya, Collei, and the others all followed me voluntarily."
"On this point, you can ask them face-to-face."
"Eh!?"
Eula was very astonished. How could she ask such words?
"Any-Anyway, please forgive me!"
"Even scolding me is fine!"
"Otherwise, I can't calm my mood! I feel..."
"It's very shameful!"
This put Ye Xi in a difficult spot.
Asking to be scolded in the bathroom?
Could this be a new shame play?
He thought for a long time but couldn't scold her.
He had to speak up: "I'm not angry. If you hope for my forgiveness, then I forgive you."
"But let's forget about the scolding."
He felt Eula wouldn't be at ease, so he directly changed the topic.
"Eula, this is a bathroom. Don't you find it a bit strange?"
"If I guessed correctly, is everyone... not wearing any clothes?"
"Eh!?"
Eula reacted abruptly. She carefully examined herself, only to discover that she didn't have a stitch of clothing on her body.
Before she could feel ashamed, Ye Xi's voice came from over there again.
"Actually, this fence is made of bamboo; there are more or less some gaps..."
"Uh... you understand, right?"
"Eh—!"
Eula instantly flushed red and plunged into the pool with a "splash". "You! Saw it!?"
"No! The mist is very thick, really didn't!"
Actually, this was a lie.
Just now, he did indeed see it.
Behind those gaps was a proud, tender body.
Although the visible range wasn't large, he could see those pink, tender shoulders and fair skin.
Hidden and visible in the water mist, exceptionally alluring.
This wasn't intentional on his part.
If it were anyone else quietly soaking in the bath and a voice suddenly came from nearby, they would subconsciously take a look, right?
This was human nature.
Hearing Ye Xi's defense, Eula's heart was filled with shame. "This grudge! I have recorded it!"
After speaking, she couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Pervert!"
Seeing no sound from next door, Ye Xi sighed helplessly.
What kind of scene was this?
However, Eula's personality was really quite cute.
To actually be so persistent over this kind of thing.
...
On the other side.
Eula breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a bit shameful, she had spoken out the matters in her heart thoroughly and received forgiveness.
This way she could be at ease.
Suddenly, she heard soft laughter coming from her ear.
She immediately thought of Amber!
She must be mocking her!
So she turned around, hands on her hips, and said, "Amber! You are mocking me again! This grudge..."
Before she finished speaking, Eula's eyes went wide.
She saw that the poolside was actually full of people at some point!
Dehya, Nahida, Dunyarzad, Keqing...
Even Paimon was there!
"Y-You guys! All heard it!?"
"Pfft—"
The girls all stifled their laughter and nodded repeatedly.
"Ahhhhh—!"
"Amber! Collei! Why didn't you guys remind me earlier!"
"This grudge, I have recorded it all!"
The thing Eula wanted to do most right now was to find a crack in the ground and crawl in! Never to come out again!
Too shameful!
She felt she had already suffered social death!
Greater Lord Rukkhadevata smiled gently and said, "Children who dare to admit their mistakes and face their hearts directly are all kind and gentle good children."
"Eula, your heart is very strong~"
Hearing Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's praise, Eula's face was full of shyness, but she felt a bit better.
After all, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was a god full of wisdom!
Just then, Lumine pounced over with a wicked laugh. "Wifey Eula~ Your heart is so kind~ Let me touch your heart~ Hehehe!"
"Traveler—!"
Eula fled in defeat.
The girls instantly burst into laughter.
A moment later, everyone entered the pool.
Fortunately, the pool here was large enough; one could even swim floating on the water surface.
Otherwise, it really wouldn't be able to fit so many girls.
Eula tasted a mouthful of the fruit wine Ye Xi brought. That icy cool texture simply made her soul leave her body in delight.
....
Inside this, besides the sweetness of fruit, there was also the cool taste of mint!
In the warm hot water, drinking a mouthful of this ice drink was simply too enjoyable!
Especially for someone like her who liked cold drinks!
It was just that, with every sip, she would think of the matter just now, making her blush.
"Eula, I heard you suspect that Master harbored bad intentions to get us."
"Then, let me tell you the story of me and Master!"
Ayexia, as Ye Xi's first wife, always felt she was very lucky.
So she couldn't wait to tell it.
Eula was slightly stunned and hurriedly nodded. "Okay!"
Amber also leaned in. "Actually, I'm also very curious."
"Everyone is so pretty and has an Eye of God; what exactly happened for you to follow Master Ye Xi?"
"Oh~ Amber is curious about this!"
Ayexia smiled and said, "Actually, we didn't have Eyes of God before; Master Ye Xi gave these to us!"
"What!?"
Once these words came out, not only Amber and Eula but even Keqing and Ganyu nearby were stunned.
"That's impossible!"
"The Eye of God is an item granted by the gods! Master Ye Xi is an ordinary human; why could he do it!?"
Hearing Keqing's words, Ganyu also hurriedly nodded.
She had stayed in Liyue for so many years, witnessing thousands of years of time.
The Eye of God, this kind of item, was the Authority of the throne in the sky. Even the Seven Archons of the Mortal World only had very small Authority to intervene.
How could Ye Xi issue Eyes of God to people!
Unless...
Ganyu suddenly had a premonition.
She felt that Ye Xi was absolutely not an ordinary human!
Thinking carefully, for the Lord of Geo to value Ye Xi so much, there was definitely an extraordinary reason!
Moreover, with that powerful strength Ye Xi possessed and the mechanism technique surpassing the Adepti, how could he be an ordinary person!
Seeing that Keqing, Eula, and the others didn't believe it, Dehya smiled and said, "If you think it's a coincidence, then Collei and I have two Eyes of God; surely you won't think this is a coincidence, right?"
"Eh!? Two—!"
Now, Keqing and the others were completely dumbfounded!
If it was said to be a coincidence, that they accidentally obtained an Eye of God after being with Ye Xi, that was completely explainable.
But.
One person possessing two Eyes of God, this was absolutely impossible!
Because in the entire Teyvat continent, there was no existence of such a special example!
"Collei, really?"
Amber cast an envious gaze.
Collei nodded gently. "Yes, my other Eye of God is Pyro elemental..."
Saying this, Collei's pretty face turned slightly red.
"Really! Hehe~"
Amber hugged Collei, very happy. "If I could also have a second Eye of God, I hope it's Dendro elemental!"
"Cough!"
Eula crossed her arms, looking jealous.
However, this also represented that what Dehya said was true.
Instantly, the girls fell silent.
Keqing couldn't help but think, if she had two Eyes of God, she could become stronger!
No need to deal scratch damage like now!
Eula was also fantasizing in her heart; if she had two Eyes of God, then she could definitely restore the name of the Lawrence Clan!
However, she quickly reacted.
To get two Eyes of God, one had to be Ye Xi's wife!
Th-This kind of thing...
She hurriedly shook her head, throwing away this heart-moving thought.
While Keqing on the side did not think so at all!
