Chapter 257 Liyue Date, Luminous Crystal

The custom-made cakes they bought were distributed, and everyone who tasted them found them quite good, at least much tastier than ordinary bread.

Qian Jie looked at the cake in his hand, lost in thought.

Perhaps this could also inspire him to create some other styles of desserts, an area he was quite interested in. He might become a bit irritable then.

Time flew by, and it was soon the next day. Lu Ze, having rested well, woke up early.

Elysia had also been waiting for a while. The two decided not to have breakfast at home and went out to eat instead.

Through a Void Anchor point, they arrived at the Liyue branch. There, they saw Bronya sitting there looking bored. The three shops operated on a rotational basis, allowing for normal business.

"Good morning, Bronya! I hope today is also a happy day~"

Elysia greeted her. Bronya, who was still unhappy about not getting the first place in the gacha, felt this was a blatant taunt! She's mocking me, woo woo woo...

Herrscher of Reason wants to cry, but Herrscher of Reason cannot. Woo woo woo, give me a hug.

The two left the shop. Liyue Harbor felt a bit deserted after the previous incident, but for the most prosperous trading port in all of Teyvat, it was only slightly less crowded.

It was already bustling with people in the early morning, giving the impression of a busy life.

They found a small stall selling tofu pudding by the roadside. The owner was a kindly old grandmother. Lu Ze pulled Elysia towards it.

"Grandma, two bowls of tofu pudding, please!"

Elysia wasn't entirely averse to tofu pudding. For her, sweet tofu pudding was tastier, but savory tofu pudding was also good.

But Lu Ze? He liked savory tofu pudding with chili. It was not only appetizing but also filling. Sweet tofu pudding lacked soul; only savory tofu pudding had soul!

As they ate the tender tofu bite by bite, a little white smudge remained on the corner of Elysia's mouth. Seemingly noticing her untidiness, she quickly wiped it with a tissue.

"Did I look bad just now..."

Elysia looked at him earnestly, making Lu Ze unsure how to answer. After all, she had been focusing on eating her tofu pudding and hadn't paid attention to such things.

However, for such a question, there was a classic answer:

"Elysia, no matter what, I like you."

He reached out his left hand and gently patted her head. Elysia closed her eyes in enjoyment. The thick palm brushed against each strand of her hair, feeling like a massage, incredibly comfortable.

"Heh heh... I knew Lu Ze wouldn't dislike Eli."

The couple's intimate gestures even made the old grandmother next to them a little envious. She also missed her late husband, who had passed away to another world several years ago, leaving her alone to guard their home.

"If you're not full, you can have more. I'm old now and don't care about making money. I just wish you young couples a good life. Don't be like me, always arguing with your spouse."

Listening to the grandmother's words, Elysia pondered for a moment and then smiled, replying:

"No, no, we've never argued once. It's just that this person is a bit too sensitive, sigh."

Hearing Elysia complain about him, Lu Ze felt a little embarrassed and touched his head. He felt like a spark could ignite in this forest at any moment, and he needed to be careful.

After more than ten minutes, the two placed money on the table for the bill – a rather heavy bag of Mora. This far exceeded the cost of two bowls of tofu pudding. As for why they gave so much?

Lu Ze said it was because he was rich and willful, there was nothing he could do.

He hoped that money could help her through difficult times when needed, considering it a good deed.

The two walked slowly down the street. Elysia spotted a jewelry store and, seeing the sparkling accessories, rushed in without hesitation.

"My dear Eli, slow down! No one's snatching it from you, really."

Inside the store, there weren't many people, but one familiar face was present.

Yuheng Keqing. What was she doing here?

"Hmm? Lu Ze! What are you doing here? Oh, you're bringing someone to look at jewelry, right? Then I won't disturb you. I've got what I need, see you next time."

She didn't want to be a third wheel. Who wanted to be a third wheel these days? To light up their path, right? She wouldn't do that.

"Ah, see you next time..."

Did she really need to run off so quickly? But she was likely here to pick up a custom-made accessory. No matter how strict the rules, she was still a girl who liked these things.

"My dear Lu Ze~ Do I look good wearing this?"

Elysia held up a golden necklace with a gem in the center, which looked beautiful. If the gold were changed to pink, it would match even better.

After all, pink was also quite cute.

"It's nice, but do you have this in pink?"

Pink... the store clerk's mind raced. Soon, she remembered something and quickly went to the side, bringing back something resembling a star.

A silver chain with a metal frame in the middle, holding a pink star-shaped item.

"This is made from subterranean dark amethyst, but because it's small, it looks pink. However, this necklace is quite expensive, costing around 3 million Mora due to the high cost of materials. If the price is too high, I can show you other options."

3 million... To him, it was just a small drop of rain. With a fortune he couldn't spend in a lifetime, he even wanted to spend it all.

"Try it on. If it looks good, we'll buy it."

The necklace, when worn by Elysia, looked exceptionally fitting. If she were to wear a white summer sea outfit with it, it would likely match even better.

"Yes, yes. 3 million, right? Wait a moment."

From his system space, he took out a small booklet with the words "Northland Bank" emblazoned on it. This was a Northland Bank check, and with this voucher, he could withdraw the corresponding amount of money.

To obtain such a check, the money deposited in Northland Bank had to be at least 10 million. Lu Ze, on the other hand, had deposited approximately one billion Mora in Northland Bank.

It was mainly because his system space was almost full, so he had no choice. At the time, he had directly piled up a ten-meter-high mountain of gold in front of the manager.

He had almost scared the manager to death. He could still vividly recall that scene. It was impossible not to laugh at the manager's shocked and distorted face; a single laugh would cost him ten years of good karma.
