"You think you can bribe us with a mere lollipop? You're dreaming! Wait, it smells so good!" Paimon was about to refuse, but the lollipop was exposed in the air.
The fragrance was simply too intoxicating, and Paimon, who was already starving, couldn't refuse. She snatched the lollipop from Zhang Zihai's hand and, without a second thought, put it in her mouth and began licking it. "It's so delicious! Lumine, I take back what I said; I'm certain they are definitely not bad guys."
Lumine simply facepalmed at Paimon's 360-degree attitude change. You were bought off by a single lollipop? Where is your dignity!
Helpless, since Paimon had already taken the item, Lumine naturally had to answer their question. "To be honest, we just arrived here too. We are planning to enter Mondstadt City now, so you've probably asked the wrong people if you want to understand the local customs."
Just arrived? That means the sky harp is still in the Mondstadt Cathedral! They had to speed up the theft! Otherwise, the sky harp would be stolen by the Fatui first. "Oh! I see! That's fine, we'll just go into the city and ask someone else."
"Then we'll be heading off first. Paimon, let's go! We need to get into the city quickly, or we'll have to sleep in the wild tonight." Lumine bowed slightly to Zhang Zihai and left.
"Lumine, don't... don't walk so fast, wait... wait for me." Paimon chased after Lumine while eating the lollipop.
"Paimon, have you put on a little weight lately? You look all round now!"
"What! Really? Let me see... No, I haven't! I've checked my body up and down, left and right, and I'm still as slim, petite, and cute as ever!"
"I was just kidding, you idiot!"
"Lumine! You, I'll fight you!"
Watching Lumine and Paimon gradually disappear from sight, Zhang Zihai withdrew his gaze and said to Yun Hei and Yun Bai, "The protagonist just arrived in Mondstadt, so the sky harp is at the Mondstadt Cathedral. When do we plan to steal it?"
Yun Hei replied, "No rush! Since it's at the Mondstadt Cathedral, we need to enter the city next and collect intelligence on the cathedral's internal structure from the underground information dealer. If things go smoothly, we'll make our move tomorrow night."
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go into the city!" Yun Bai was impatient to enter the city and learn about the customs of this other world. He heard that other worlds all have elves, so he could meet one then. If successful, he could even take her as his girlfriend!
After the B-rank mission team set off for Mondstadt City, the three people in the A-rank mission team also departed, heading towards Mondstadt City.
The Scarred Man had Zhao Daniu spend 100 god coins to exchange for a target radar from the system shop. His own location, the target's location, and the distance were clear at a glance. They soon found Illustrious in the outskirts of Mondstadt.
"Are you the Ship Girl Illustrious?" The Scarred Man held the True Dragon Sword, pointing the tip at Illustrious, and spoke very arrogantly.
"Yes! My name is indeed Illustrious. What do you want with me?" Illustrious said, looking at the three people who had suddenly jumped in front of her.
"Illustrious, are these your enemies? Do you want me to help you take care of them?" Ganyu turned her head and whispered to Illustrious.
"No need! I'll handle it." Illustrious found it strange; she hadn't offended anyone since coming to this world! Wait, no, she seemed to have offended the Fatui. Could it be that bald-headed Tartaglia sent someone to kill her? If so, she would beat them half to death and make them reveal who the mastermind was.
"Since you admit it, that's good. Let me tell you! You're dead today." Zhao Daniu chimed in from the side.
"That's right! Our boss wants your head. If you surrender obediently now, we might leave your corpse intact." Sun Shengdao added.
"Beauty, if you want to live, it's not impossible." The Scarred Man said, thinking he was giving Illustrious a lot of face: "But you have to agree to one condition."
"Oh! I wonder what that condition is?" Illustrious said coldly.
"The condition is to sleep with the three of us for one night. If the three of us are happy, we'll let you go." The Scarred Man said very lewdly.
Although the Scarred Man said he would let her go on the surface, that was just to deceive Illustrious. Illustrious was very beautiful; such a beauty should use the advantages of her body to please them well before she died.
The Scarred Man loved playing with women the most. Once Illustrious was used by them and was full of hope, thinking she could live, he would tell her, "I was just lying to you, you stupid woman, go to hell!"
At that moment, Illustrious's expression would definitely be desperate. Falling from hope to despair—just thinking about this kind of play made the Scarred Man so excited he wanted to fly to the sky!
As soon as the Scarred Man stated this condition, Zhao Daniu and Sun Shengdao beside him were overjoyed. They had experienced a taste of heaven on earth not long ago.
That was before they found Illustrious. Following the position given by the target radar, the Scarred Man took his two lackeys on the road. On the way, they encountered a merchant caravan transporting wine to Liyue.
Upon seeing the caravan, the three of them set their sights on it, wanting to rob the caravan.
Through shop exchanges, Zhao Daniu swapped for a Thunder Tiger Spear, Sun Shengdao swapped for a Heartless Gauntlet, plus the boss Scarred Man's True Dragon Sword.
The three were powerfully equipped, and the opponents were just ordinary guards. Furthermore, because they were vision holders, they were all quickly killed by the Scarred Man and his group.
When opening the carriage, they discovered a pink-haired mature woman and a blue-haired little loli. They kept begging for mercy. The Scarred Man agreed to spare them, but only if they had intercourse with the three of them.
The mature woman refused, demanding that the Scarred Man spare the little loli, and then she would agree to his request. The Scarred Man agreed, and the three of them went on the mature woman together. After finishing with the mature woman.
The Scarred Man said he wasn't satisfied, saying the mature woman was like a dead fish when she was with them earlier, which made them very unhappy. They wanted the little loli to compensate for their mental distress. The little loli asked how to compensate, and the Scarred Man said, "Of course, with your body!" The mature woman tried desperately to stop them, saying the Scarred Man was not keeping his word.
The little loli asked the Scarred Man, "After compensating, will you really let us go?"
The Scarred Man said very seriously, "After compensating, I absolutely won't kill you. I'll take the money and leave immediately, not staying for a second longer."
Finally, the little loli agreed to compensate the Scarred Man and the other two. After the compensation was finished, the three of them entered a sage mode, devoid of desire.
The mature woman and the little loli were full of joy, thinking that by following their requirements, they would have a chance to live. But they hadn't been happy for long before the Scarred Man signaled Zhao Daniu to act.
Zhao Daniu directly inserted the spear into the bodies of the mature woman and the little loli. The white spear blade went in, and the red spear blade came out. Both people died on the spot, dead as can be.
Before dying, the mature woman said weakly, "Bastard, you didn't keep your word."
The Scarred Man laughed loudly and said, "Woman, I did agree to spare you, but these two brothers of mine didn't say they would spare you! Hahaha..."
"You are shameless... I... even as a ghost... will... not let you go." After saying this, the mature woman died.
"Calling me shameless! That is simply the greatest compliment to me! Hahaha..." The Scarred Man laughed even more heartily.
