"Acting Grand Master Jean, please, you must not exile me to Snezhnaya!"
"I heard it's extremely cold there in Snezhnaya; I'll definitely freeze into an ice block!"
Xing decisively hugged Jean's leg, rubbing against it fiercely while wailing.
However, after crying for a long time, not a single tear appeared. Amber, watching from the side, couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed Xing's ear, and lifted her up.
At this moment, it was Acting Grand Master Jean who pleaded on Amber's behalf.
"Alright, alright, no one is hurt. This child is just thoughtless; a little criticism and education will suffice. The child's age is... well, quite old."
Because Klee usually appeared well-behaved, she was actually a mischievous little darling.
Even when facing a combined assault from Acting Grand Master Jean and Lisa, Klee insisted on her hobby of blowing up fish. Never admitting fault—that was Klee's law of life!
So, upon seeing Xing, Jean subconsciously treated Xing the way she treated Klee due to their similarities.
Now, Acting Grand Master Jean snapped back to reality; this Miss Xing seemed taller than her.
Acting Grand Master Jean thought with some confusion:
"Her physique is completely that of an adult; why did I subconsciously treat her like a child?"
Although she hadn't spent much time with Xing, Amber already understood her very well and had her own methods for handling Xing.
Amber leaned close to Xing's ear and whispered softly:
"Xing, you wouldn't want to be banned from rummaging through trash cans in Mondstadt forever, would you?~~"
Xing was shocked!
"Amber, I never realized you were this kind of person."
"Come on, you beast, I won't resist!"
Reading the look in Xing's eyes, Amber immediately felt embarrassed and annoyed, quickly explaining:
"What are you thinking in that head of yours!"
"What I mean is, Acting Grand Master Jean, as the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, the trash cans of Mondstadt City fall under her jurisdiction too. So, you need to maintain a good relationship with Acting Grand Master Jean and stop making her angry!"
Xing suddenly understood and quickly ran in front of Acting Grand Master Jean, flattering her. Her attitude even made the surrounding people hallucinate that Xing had grown a dog's tail and dog ears.
Acting Grand Master Jean helplessly held her forehead.
"Amber, your friend certainly has a unique personality."
"That's right, Acting Grand Master Jean, I have a lot of personality! Woof woof."
Truly unable to handle Xing's enthusiasm, Acting Grand Master Jean fled as if escaping, leaving behind a single sentence:
"Amber, take good care of your friend. I've approved your leave request!"
Everyone looked at Xing with admiration.
"To make the famous Acting Grand Master Jean flee in panic, you're quite something!"
Although she didn't fully grasp why everyone was praising her, Xing proudly accepted the compliments:
"Of course!"
"I am the galaxy bat hero!"
Having secured leave from Acting Grand Master Jean, Amber naturally blended into the delivery team heading to Springvale Farm, helping everyone deliver goods.
Siegfrieda pulled out the cargo manifest from her pocket.
"Hmm, let me see."
"A package for Flora, the florist, a large bag of wild flower seeds sent from Springvale. Xing, I'll assign this delivery to you, no problem, right?"
Xing nodded, took the seeds, and turned to leave without looking back.
Seeing Amber looking worried, Siegfrieda comforted her: "Don't worry, Flora's flower shop isn't far from here, and the outside of the shop is filled with flowers. Xing will definitely find it."
Amber: "No, I mean, she walked in the wrong direction. The flower shop is over there."
Siegfrieda: "..."
Siegfrieda helplessly held her forehead and said, "Amu, hurry up and chase after her."
"Forget it, after you catch up to Xing, go deliver the flower shop's package with her."
Amu nodded and quickly rushed in the direction Xing had left.
Meanwhile, Siegfrieda pulled out another package from the cargo box.
"A package from Uncle Duraf in Springvale. The recipient must be Miss Diona, right? Hmm, or maybe Miss Margaret."
"Dried fish, wild boar meat."
"Yep, my guess was correct."
"Collei, Amber, please deliver this package to the Cats Tail Tavern. The recipient is Miss Diona."
Amber took the package, full of confidence: "Leave it to me!"
With that, Amber took the package and pulled Collei, running toward the Cats Tail Tavern.
Seeing everyone else leave, Siegfrieda led the wooden horse toward the location of Mondstadt Department Store. The strawberries in the carriage were freshly picked, delivered every four days.
During transportation, she had to be careful to avoid bumping the strawberries, which would affect their appearance.
After unloading the goods at Mondstadt Department Store, Siegfrieda still had to drive the carriage to The Good Hunter Restaurant.
"Time flies so fast. It looks like we'll be having lunch at The Good Hunter today."
In the past, after Siegfrieda and Amu finished delivering the goods in the carriage, it would already be noon. They would choose to eat lunch at The Good Hunter before returning to the farm.
For Siegfrieda, the dishes at The Good Hunter Restaurant were not bad, but they still couldn't compare to the cuisine prepared by Arkz.
It was a pity that Arkz didn't cook often.
However, thanks to Collei's arrival, Arkz had become much more diligent, cooking at least once a day to prepare nourishing food for Collei to restore her depleted health. The farm employees also got to share a meal, which was thanks to Collei.
On the other side...
Amber pulled Collei through the streets and alleys.
The lively Amber was very popular in Mondstadt. Wherever she went, people greeted her enthusiastically, and Amber always responded with a vibrant smile.
Even Collei was infected by the smile on Amber's face. When someone greeted Collei, she would also try hard to return that kindness.
"Hoo!"
"We're here. This is the Cats Tail Tavern."
"Let me ask beforehand, Collei, are you allergic to cat fur? Or do you dislike cats?"
Collei gently shook her head:
"No. I actually quite like cats. It's a shame that sensitive creatures like cats seem to sense the threat of the power within me, so they resist me getting close."
Amber hugged Collei and comforted her:
"Don't worry, doesn't Mr. Arkz have a way to cure you!"
"As long as you persist in drinking all the water of purity, the evil power inside you will disappear eventually."
"Then we can come here together to play with the cute kitties!"
Collei nodded.
"Okay, we'll come play together then."
Where Amber couldn't see, Collei lowered her head, a bitter smile on her face.
"I'm sorry, Amber, I deceived you again."
