Chapter 391: Never Make a Deal with Bai Luo
"Haa..."
By the time Diluc got out of bed, it was already evening.
Lisa’s research still hadn’t produced any results, so he could only rely on his own methods to find a solution.
As a result, he had been investigating Abyss-related matters more frequently than usual.
He had spent the entire previous night outside the city again—and still came up empty-handed.
"Master."
Charles had arrived right on time. Over the past few days, Diluc had been waking up around this hour.
A plate of Sweet Madame along with a glass of fine grape juice—nothing extravagant, but enough to replenish the energy he had lost during the night.
"You’re thoughtful."
After tidying the dark blue wig by his bedside, Diluc tied his fiery red hair into a ponytail.
"I’ll leave you to it, then."
Setting the food on the nearby table, Charles didn’t linger and quickly left the room.
After washing his face with the water prepared in advance, Diluc picked up the grape juice and walked to the window.
He took a sip, pushed the window open with one hand—and then...
He saw the young bard.
Dressed in a maid outfit.
Playing a lyre.
Singing the tale of the Dragon of the Sky battling the Poison Dragon.
"Pfft—"
Even someone as composed as Diluc couldn’t help but spit out his drink at the sight.
Although Charles had previously suggested letting the boy wear a maid outfit to perform in the tavern to repay his debts, Diluc hadn’t taken it seriously.
The real reason he had allowed Venti to stay at his tavern was actually because of Bai Luo.
If it weren’t for that guy, he wouldn’t care about such a trivial loss.
After all, money to him was just a number.
At first, he wondered if Charles had privately pressured or coerced the boy.
But upon closer inspection, he realized that the bard showed no discomfort at all wearing women’s clothing—in fact, he seemed completely natural.
It even gave the strange impression that he might suit women’s clothing better than men’s.
What exactly was going on?
Actually, this all traced back to the deal between Bai Luo and Venti.
"Wear a low-cut maid outfit and sing this."
That’s right, Bai Luo had turned his inner thoughts into reality.
Originally, he thought Venti would refuse.
But to his surprise, Venti agreed without hesitation.
It even made Bai Luo wonder if his request had been too mild.
Of course, as for Pomp and Circumstance, Bai Luo himself had already mostly forgotten the song, so there was no way he could actually have Venti sing it.
In the end, that part was dropped.
That said, it wasn’t all that surprising for Venti to willingly put on women’s clothing.
Rather than feeling like he had gained something, Bai Luo strangely felt like he had taken a loss.
"Should’ve made him wear a bikini or a wedding gown instead..."
Standing atop the clock tower, watching Venti perform, Bai Luo couldn’t help but sigh.
What? You’re wondering why Bai Luo isn’t rushing to save Dvalin after making a deal with Venti?
Indeed, according to their agreement, Venti had already fulfilled his part—so Bai Luo should be acting soon.
But don’t forget who Venti made the deal with.
Bai Luo.
Even the God of Contracts—who upholds the principle that "even if the heavens fall, contracts must be fulfilled"—had stumbled when dealing with him.
Let alone Barbatos, the god of freedom.
The last person who made a deal with Bai Luo reportedly swings their blade with extra force every time they think about it.
Not only that, it’s said that Liyue recently added nearly a hundred new laws—over ninety of them related to him.
And even then, the God of Contracts still felt it wasn’t enough.
In Bai Luo and Venti’s deal, Bai Luo did indeed agree to save Dvalin. freёwebnovel.com
But he never said when he would do it.
Even if Venti realized something and came to question him, Bai Luo could easily brush it off with:
"I haven’t found Dvalin’s location yet."
So remember—
Never make a deal with Bai Luo.
You never know how many loopholes he’ll find in a deal.
...
The sea breeze brushed gently across Windrise Beach. A crab crawled out from the sand, its beady eyes darting around as it cautiously surveyed its surroundings.
After confirming there was no danger nearby, it left a trail of tiny footprints across the beach and approached a pile of bones that resembled those of a wild boar.
The flesh had long since been eroded away by the waves, leaving only stark white skeletons behind.
Strangely, however, there were no traces of seaweed or marine growth clinging to the bones.
Under the sunlight, the pale bones looked rather eerie.
But to this crab—newly carried here by the tide—it was a delicious feast.
Yet the moment it touched the bones, it began to tremble violently before collapsing onto the sand, froth mixed with grains of sand bubbling out of its mouth.
"Hm?"
A passerby approached, noticing the lifeless crab, and picked it up.
"Guess I’ll use this as bait."
Weighing it in her hand, it seemed heavy enough.
It should be good for catching some larger fish—enough to secure food for the next few days.
Taking out a homemade fishing rod, she hooked the crab onto the line.
With a swing, she cast it into the water.
The pile of bones nearby naturally caught her attention as well.
But she didn’t think much of it.
This world was full of strange and inexplicable things.
A single wild boar carcass was nothing worth worrying about.
Come to think of it... recently, there had been signs of human activity near her dwelling by the lake.
Was it locals? Or...
Probably not those strange humanoid creatures. While they possessed some intelligence, it was quite limited.
They used crude clay pots for cooking.
Judging by the glass bottle that looked like it once contained some kind of potion, the visitor was likely a highly intelligent being—like herself.
She wasn’t sure whether the other party was dangerous.
All she could do was protect herself as best as possible.
Because she didn’t believe that unknown god would simply let her or her brother go.
Lost in thought, she suddenly felt movement on the fishing line.
"Got a big one!"
Putting aside her worries, she stood up and began struggling with whatever was hooked in the water.
Strangely, although the rod felt heavy, whatever was on the other end didn’t struggle much.
It felt more like... she had hooked something lifeless.
"Hah!"
Thinking it might just be weeds or debris, she pulled hard, hauling it out of the water.
And then a small figure in strange clothing was pulled up from the sea.
"???"
Looking at the unconscious little being—still faintly breathing—the person holding the rod frowned in confusion.
What exactly had she just caught?
