Chapter 93
Let's talk about two things separately.
While Yuexia and Fuhua were fooling the Xumi people, Lidao encountered a person who gave him a headache.
Since he opened Liyue, he has been staying in Liyue most of the time, except for walking back and forth in the store.
This time he ran back to Mondstadt because Kiana heard from Klee that the latter's mother, the great witch Alice, had returned to Mondstadt.
It's not that Lidao cares too much, but Alice is not a normal person... Klee's"explosive" personality all day long is learned from her.
She is indeed an adult, and has lived for a long time and is knowledgeable, but Lidao's personality is that of a child... or an old naughty child.
Lidao does things according to the rules, and everything he seeks is profitable. He likes to abide by the rules because he is a beneficiary of the rules.
So.
Alice is a person who destroys everywhere just because she thinks it's interesting and does whatever she wants. She completely disregards the feelings of others and breaks the rules at will.
Lidao totally disagrees, or maybe the two of them have different worldviews and completely conflicting personalities.
Lidao:"The great adventurer Alice, this kind of person is okay in the game, she sounds mysterious, powerful, and interesting. But in reality... hehe."
The things she did might seem just fun to her, but Lidao just hoped that her so-called fun would not affect herself.
Therefore, Lidao was in Mondstadt just to prevent this psychopath from going crazy for no reason and blowing up his store, or kidnapping Valkyries, to prevent accidents.
Alice's fighting ability was good, and Lidao was afraid that Kiana would suffer, so he directly cut off contact with Kiana and Klee. He even put up a sign at the door of the store - Alice and dogs are not allowed to enter.
But he didn't expect that this woman would use Barbara to come directly to him.……
……
"Captain! Someone is looking for you outside. It's Miss Barbara!"
Following Mei's call, Lidao said goodbye to Yuexia, left the room, and came to the store, but did not find Barbara.
"The store manager is looking for Miss Barbara? She was just called away, as if she had something urgent to do.
There are many people in the store who are not fans of celebrities, but they can still easily ask Barbara because of her popularity in Mondstadt.
"Okay, thank you."
Lidao nodded and thanked him. After thinking for a while, he went out to look for Barbara.
Asking passers-by was just a superficial act. After having the Ksitigarbha Soul, Lidao naturally corrupted all possible people... Barbara was naturally among them.
Although he has never used the Ksitigarbha Soul to control others, it is still a very simple thing to use it to locate others.
Barbara was in a rather remote shop, not far from Lidao. It was a place similar to a tavern. There were only two women in the shop, one big and one small.
When Lidao came here, the big woman was tasting wine, and the little girl Barbara was practicing an unknown song softly. It was a song that Lidao had never heard of, and she was not very proficient. Maybe she had just learned it from that woman.
"CRACK——"
The door panel was very old, and the sound of opening the door was so loud that it was considered an automatic alarm. The sound interrupted the singing and appreciation of the two people in the house.
"Really good, they are here as expected, worthy of being a visitor from another world with a keen sense of smell!"
The big red woman, Alice, showed an excited look.
Barbara turned around quickly and saw that the visitor was from Lidao. She breathed a sigh of relief, but then became a little uneasy:
"Good morning, Mr. Lidao.……"
"……"
""Woo."
Seeing Lidao staring at her without saying a word, Barbara pouted a little aggrieved.
Then she turned her head and looked angrily at Alice, the culprit who used the new song to seduce her and let her lure Mr. Lidao over.
"Oh, don't look at me like that, I'll handle it, don't worry, Barbara."
Alice waved her hand in front of her, with a scumbag smile on her face, which made people think of a scumbag fox.
Seeing her like this, Barbara naturally didn't believe the nonsense that she would handle it, and turned back dejectedly.
"Sorry, Mr. Island.……"
"Barbara, come here."
Li Dao was indeed in a bad mood, but he had guessed about this situation. If he had to say it, he would not be angry with Barbara, but a warning was still necessary.
"Oh."
Barbara made a mistake, lowered her head very obediently, and walked to the front of the island.
"Snapped"
"Pain…"
Barbara subconsciously covered her forehead with a head bang. Although it was indeed painful, she felt no more pain. There was no blame as she had imagined.
"This is the punishment. Take it as a warning and don't do it again... It won't be so easy next time."
Lidao completely ignored Alice, bent his body slightly, put his face in front of Barbara, and pretended to be angry.
""Oh... Yeah! There will definitely not be a next time!"
Barbara covered her forehead and was still a little confused, but when she saw Lidao's expression and words, she immediately understood that Lidao did not blame her, and smiled happily, and promised seriously.
Lidao saw Barbara's smile, rolled his eyes at her, stood up straight, took out a folded paper from his pocket, took Barbara's hand, and put the paper in her hand
"This is what your sister wanted."
"Sister...sister?"
Barbara didn't react to Li Dao pulling her hand, but when Alice saw this, she paused for a moment and opened her eyes slightly.
Love is the natural enemy of idols.……
"Well, what she asked me to investigate yesterday was the intelligence the Knights needed."
With the intentional matchmaking of the off-island, Barbara and Jean's relationship has improved a lot. Although they haven't reached the point where they call each other sisters in front of outsiders, they have already tried to call each other that in private.
"Take this and go back first. I want to talk to Aunt Alice alone."
Alice:"……"
""Alice, ah... hmm, hmm, I get it, don't worry, Mr. Lidao."
Barbara was very serious when she heard that it was the intelligence needed by the Knights, but she was almost amused by Lidao's words"Aunt Alice".
So she held back her laughter, put the note close to her, and left after making a serious promise.
"Good morning, the famous Ms. Alice, what can I do for you?"
Because Alice did not interrupt him when he was talking to Barbara, Lidao said something without hiding anything, then changed into a more polite manner to greet her.
Alice:"Call me sister!"
"Um?"
"Call me sister!"
"……"Li Dao was speechless.
To be honest, although Alice was n times older than Li Dao, she still looked younger than Li Dao.
But that was not the reason why Li Dao called her sister. The immortal was tens of thousands of years old, so they were still equals, right?
"Ms. Alice, stop joking. Although I wasn't busy before, I've been really busy recently."
Does Lidao like beautiful women? Yes.
Is Alice beautiful? Very beautiful, the kind of beauty that can make Cao thieves live forever.
But Lidao really doesn't have the attribute of weakness, nor does he have the heart of a tengu. It's useless to be unable to walk when seeing a woman. Lidao has always had it.
The reason why he always contacts various women... It's really just because the leaders and officials of these countries are women.
In fact, he has also had a lot of contact with Diluk, Kaeya, Venti, and Zhongli.
"I don't care, you're my sister! Take back what you said before, and let's talk business."
Alice still insisted
"Okay, Ms. Alice, you are not an aunt."
"That's right."
"It's the mother-in-law."
In terms of personality, Lidao is quite arrogant.
This can be seen from the way he"laid traps" and made plans for various people.
Although, there will be accidents...
For example, Amber and Barbara... Even if they realized that Lidao's purpose was not simple, they still gave him all their trust.
And it was this dream-like personality and trust that made Lidao's sincerity, rather than routine.
This is how Kiana and the others came here.
Let's get back to the topic
"Do you believe I will beat you up?" Alice asked politely.
"I will go to Ke Li to complain." Li Dao replied politely.
Alice:"……"
Li Dao:"Mother-in-law, you are old now, do you need to take blood pressure medicine?"
"Bouncing Bomb——!!!"
"Skyfire——"
"Stop, stop, stop! I didn’t light the engine!!"
