Hearing this, Clement took out the things he had collected and placed them in front of Zhongli.

Zhongli observed it for a while and shook his head.

“I’m sorry to say that these things you brought back were indeed brought ashore by the Whirlpool Demon, but unfortunately they have nothing to do with the Demon, they just came from the nearby sea.

In comparison, the stone slab we found has mysterious text and history on its surface, and a little bit of demonic power, which may be helpful for research."

Clement immediately said impatiently.

"Quick, give it to me! Hehe, with this, it won't be a complete loss. The power of the demon god..."

As he spoke, Clement turned his head and looked at Xu Yunuo beside him.

Xu Yunuo looked at Clement's exaggerated expression and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Let's take a look at the slate first."

"okay."

Clement turned around and looked at the other things he had collected.

"But these things should still be worth a few bucks, enough to cover the cost of hiring a consultant. They're all mine!"

"Does it have to have the power of the devil remaining in it for it to be worth studying?"

"No, I pursue the history of the Salt Demon because history can tell about culture and faith."

After saying this, Wan Yan turned her head and looked at Clement with disdain.

"As for you, you just want to make a fortune in the name of archaeology!"

"Nonsense! I am a professional archaeological researcher from the Kingdom of Winter, guaranteed."

Zhongli: "Oh, by the way, that teacup, it's best not to sell it."

"Huh? Why?"

"That's not an ancient thing. It's Ningguang's collection. It fell down with the Jade Pavilion. If you don't want to anger the Seven Stars..."

"Oh, I see. I think the quality is pretty good."

Wan Yan: "Look, you just want to sell it for money!"

Clement: "Well, so what! Can't you do both research and make money? Why are you so stubborn?

Well, there is no need to stay here. By the way, I am also very interested in the Salt Demon. Let’s go to the Underground Salt next.”

Hearing what Clement said, Xu Yunuo's originally listless expression suddenly became excited.

"Then let's go quickly."

Everyone looked at the sky which was gradually getting darker.

Xu Yunuo also noticed that it was almost evening and made a suggestion.

"We'll stay at Wangshu Inn tonight. I'll pay. Wangshu Inn is relatively close, so we can go there early tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

After everyone arrived at Wangshu Inn and booked a room, Xu Yunuo directly left a waypoint at the top of Wangshu Inn.

After writing another note and handing it to the front desk, he chose to teleport back to the Chamber of Commerce without hesitation.

As soon as I came back, I saw Qiqi lying on the bed with an indifferent expression, covering herself with a small quilt.

Xu Yunuo rushed over and picked Qiqi up.

"Qiqi, I bought you pajamas, why are you still wearing them to sleep? Aren't you uncomfortable?"

"It's okay... Qiqi doesn't feel uncomfortable."

"You can't do this. Be nicer to yourself."

"it is good."

"That's good. You don't look like you can wear this for a break."

"Ah."

Xu Yunuo put Qiqi down, and Qiqi slowly walked into the locker room.

Only then did Xu Yunuo nodded with satisfaction.

"As expected of my Qiqi, she is always obedient."

Then Xu Yunuo took this opportunity to walk into the bathroom and take a shower.

I changed into clean clothes because I had been running all day and I still smelled like the sea.

Just laid back in bed after taking a shower.

I saw Qiqi, who had already changed into pajamas in the bed next to me, quietly climbed down from the bed.

He lifted Xu Yunuo's quilt and crawled in.

"what's wrong?"

"Qiqi...is scared..."

When Xu Yunuo heard this, his expression paused slightly, and finally he touched the back of Qiqi's head comfortingly.

"Don't worry, I'm back. You don't have to be afraid of anything anymore."

I have been quite busy these past two days and haven't been with Qiqi for a long time.

Qiqi was already lonely enough, and after we met, I didn't stay with her for a long time.

Qiqi is smart enough, but precisely because she is smarter than normal children, she can see the evil in people's hearts at a glance.

Xu Yunuo recalled the envious and lonely look in Qiqi's eyes when she watched other children playing with their families in the PV.

He sighed slightly, and fell asleep in the arms of Qiqi.

The next morning.

The archaeological team got up early and gathered together.

Paimon: "Hurry up, we should leave."

Kong: "Wait, where's Xu Yunuo?"

Clement: "He disappeared yesterday."

Hearing everyone's conversation, the hostess at the front desk interrupted.

"Are you talking about that young man? He left a letter for you."

"Left a letter? Let me see."

"Give."

After Paimon took the letter, he read out the contents directly.

"I have something to do, so I'll go back first. You guys go to the Salt of the Earth to gather first, I'll be there soon. -Xu Yunuo."

After reading the letter, Paimon couldn't help but stompling his feet wildly in the air.

"Really? He left without telling us."

Zhongli thought about how after Xu Yunuo disappeared from Wangshu Inn, his aura appeared directly in Liyue Harbor, and he smiled and helped Xu Yunuo out of the predicament.

"I'm sure he'll be there on time, so let's get going."

"Okay, by the way, Clement, how did you know Xu Yunuo was not at Wangshu Inn?"

"I went to see him yesterday about something, but when I asked him, I found out that he didn't book a room for himself here."

While speaking, Clement recalled that yesterday he waited until everyone around had rested before taking the stone tablet with magic power to go find Xu Yunuo.

As a result, I was told that Xu Yunuo did not book a room for himself in Wangshu Inn.

I almost thought that Xu Yunuo, the rich man, was leaving because he disliked my abilities.

After chatting for a while, the archaeological team rented a boat and headed to the Salt of the Earth.

At this time, Xu Yunuo was still lying on the bed, half asleep.

Liyue Harbor was originally quite hot, and there was no air conditioning or anything like that in this world.

Xu Yunuo had been sleeping uncomfortably these days, but today, the long-lost feeling of coolness made Xu Yunuo not want to wake up at all.

It was not until a long time later that I felt something cool move in my arms.

Xu Yunuo opened her eyes dazedly.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Qiqi squeezed against me.

This time, he happened to meet Qiqi's purple-pink eyes.

"Qiqi, have you woken up a long time ago?"

"Um……"

"Are you waiting for me to wake up?"

"Um……"

"Hehe, my Qiqi is the best."

The two of them got up slowly and washed up.

Xu Yunuo took Qiqi to the street to have breakfast again.

After comforting Qiqi, he teleported to the top of Wangshu Inn.
