"It's okay, it's all resolved. I'm going back to work." Gan Yu felt guilty and just wanted to get to work as soon as possible.
Ningguang stopped her, saying, "Mr. Lu has already met with me, and I understand the details about Guili Plain very well. Gan Yu, you and Mr. Lu..."
“Lu Lin is a very good person. During the Lantern Festival this year, I plan to take him back to Mount Aozang to see his master.” When talking about Lu Lin, Gan Yu’s mind became calm, and she even directly acknowledged her relationship with him.
Sister, that guy is a scumbag, he's not a good person at all!
Ningguang was speechless. She wanted to offer some advice but didn't know where to begin. Should she take Ganyu to the lounge and show her the strawberries she grew on the snow-capped mountain?
That doesn't prove that Lu Lin left it behind.
The relationship between immortals and humans is inherently difficult to understand. If I don't have enough evidence, telling Gan Yu this might even backfire.
She was insightful and knew that trying to reason with a girl who was deeply in love was a thankless and exhausting task.
She had originally intended to bring up the matter of Hu Tao, but then she thought that if she could see the problem, Gan Yu could see it too. There was no need for her to go through with it.
She never imagined that Gan Yu and Hu Tao had just reached the peak together not long ago.
And she herself might join this group?
"Congratulations, Miss Gan Yu, on finding your perfect match." Ning Guang said with a smile. "Mr. Lu is a man of extraordinary bearing and great talent, and he has made great contributions to Guili Plain. I am also very curious about him. Miss Gan Yu, could you tell me what kind of person he is?"
"Miss Ningguang wants to know about Lu Lin?"
"Yes, such a rare talent, of course I want to learn more about him, and maybe there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."
“We have a small gathering at Wanmin Hall tonight. Would Miss Ningguang like to come and chat? My opinion on what kind of person Lu Lin is might be biased. Miss Ningguang can listen to and see for herself.”
Gan Yu said this because she had enough confidence in Lu Lin. What she didn't know was that Ning Guang already had a stereotype about Lu Lin.
You're not just biased, you're downright biased!
Ningguang thought to herself, but nodded in agreement: "Let's go together tonight. I'll also go visit Hu Tao and Xiang Ling."
She really wanted to get to know Lu Lin again, because only by meeting him in person could she understand this scumbag better and figure out what cards he had up his sleeve.
It's a pity that Ye Lan isn't in Liyue, otherwise, with her help, dealing with Lu Lin would be much easier.
......
Inside the Dust Song Pot, Lu Lin slept very lightly, waking up after only half an hour. Hu Tao, having just been exposed to the elements and repeatedly pushed to the peak, was still recovering and was sleeping soundly in Lu Lin's arms.
The energetic girl was only covered by white socks, with large areas of her fair skin hidden under the blanket, but the delicate and smooth touch made Lu Lin feel a little hot.
Looking at the girl's cute and peaceful sleeping face, Lu Lin still couldn't bear to wake her. Besides, she had just completed her transformation into a girl today, so he couldn't disturb her too much.
Lu Lin suppressed his inner turmoil and focused his attention on the system's backend information.

[Host: Lu Lin]
System Level: 2 (300/10000)
[Host keywords: critical moment, insightful wisdom, miraculous healing]
Elemental attributes: Ice, Fire
【Points: 2550】
After Hu Tao moved in, Lu Lin also gained the fire element attribute, and he felt that the ice and fire elemental powers he could use had been greatly enhanced, which should be related to the system upgrade.
The newly acquired entry, "Miraculous Healing," is also a miraculous healing skill, making up for his current weakness in healing.
As for the keyword "eloquent," he already knew who to give it to.
Hu Tao single-handedly ran such a large business as the Rebirth Hall. She put a lot of effort into advertising to expand her business. She was also a dark-sounding folk poet from the alleyway, and her speaking skills were quite good.
Therefore, Lu Lin decided to further enhance her abilities in this area and give her the skill of "eloquence"!
This way, whether it's developing business or writing poetry, I'll be more at ease and it won't be so hard.
Soon it was around five o'clock in the afternoon, and Hu Tao, who had slept well, finally woke up.
"Phew~ I slept so well!" She propped herself up from Lu Lin's arms and stretched lazily.
Her beautiful figure was on full display, and Lu Lin's previously calmed passion began to boil again.
Noticing Lu Lin's change, the mischievous girl leaned down and whispered in his ear, her breath sweet as orchids: "Lu Lin, you have so much energy!"
"Don't try to provoke me now. Have you forgotten who was begging for mercy just now?"
The girl playfully stuck out her tongue: "Hmph, that's because of my constitution, I'm too sensitive, otherwise I wouldn't be begging for mercy!"
"It's not just a matter of physical condition. There's something I need to tell you..." Lu Lin wrapped his arms around her slender waist and explained the relevant information about the entry to her.
"Wow! Entries can be combined like this? This is so much fun!" Hu Tao became even more excited after hearing Lu Lin's explanation.
"Are you interested in the entry?"
"Of course, it sounds like a lot of fun! And I've already tried it once."
"I just gave you a new term, why don't you study it now?"
"Come!"
Chapter Twenty-One: The Eloquent Walnut
"Let me first explain the effect of this entry to you..." Lu Lin leaned close to Hu Tao's ear and whispered.
As he explained, the energetic girl's ears quickly turned red. Even Hu Tao, who was always full of clever ideas, felt a little embarrassed after understanding what he meant.
"Wow! You can do that?" Her plum-blossom eyes were full of surprise, yet also a hint of eagerness.
If I'm with Lu Lin, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, right?
"Why don't you give it a try?" Lu Lin saw that although she was surprised, she was not averse to it, so he knew that this thing could work.
He pulled Hu Tao back into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her lips. Their breaths mingled, and this time Lu Lin clearly felt the change in Hu Tao.
She was very proactive before, but her kissing skills were still far inferior to Lu Lin's. Every time she took the initiative to provoke him, she would end up begging for mercy. She was a typical example of someone who was both bad at kissing and loved to play around.
This time, she still loves to play, but she's no longer bad at it!
As if she had learned without a teacher, her skills improved dramatically, and she was now able to go toe-to-toe with Lu Lin, on par with him.
Is this because the "eloquence" skill has taken effect?
The effect of "eloquence" is that all abilities related to the mouth will be greatly improved, including kissing skills.
Lu Lin had already suspected it, and now that his guess had been confirmed, he was even more excited.
The kiss didn't last long. Hu Tao released her lips and breathed slightly, then followed the kiss down her neck, collarbone, chest, and lower abdomen, finally reaching her destination.
hiss!
Lu Lin gasped.
He thought that being articulate would be effective, but he didn't expect it to be this effective.
With his incredible strength, which allowed him to fight Hu Tao for over an hour, he almost surrendered on the spot this time!
Fortunately, Lu Lin was no pushover either, and he managed to control himself, preventing anything embarrassing from happening.
The entry was incredibly effective. Lu Lin only gave simple instructions on some key points of the movements, and Hu Tao was able to fully grasp them without any detailed explanation. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was self-taught.
Moreover, the effect of applying it in practice was even more explosive. Lu Lin felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water from head to toe under the scorching sun, feeling so refreshed that he felt like he could fly.
Ten minutes later, with a low hum from Lu Lin, all the noise in the room disappeared, and a rare tranquility descended.
After a while, Hu Tao slowly raised her head, her little mouth pouting like a cat stealing food.
Gudong~
She did indeed steal some food; there was still evidence of it on the corner of her mouth.
The nimble kitten stuck out its tongue and completely destroyed the last trace of evidence.
The contrast between her cute and delicate face and this action is so strong, it's incredibly alluring!
Seeing this scene, Lu Lin's ambition was instantly rekindled, and in the blink of an eye, he regained his strength to fight again.
Seeing how quickly he recovered, Hu Tao frowned and shook her head repeatedly, pleading softly, "It's getting late, we still have to go to Wanmintang, we can't be late!"
"Okay, go take a shower."
Lu Lin knew it was getting late and it was time to go to Wanmintang to meet up with everyone, so he didn't continue to play around with her and instead carried her to the bathroom.
The two quickly washed up, changed their clothes, and left Chengehu together, heading towards Wanmintang.
The Hall of Rebirth is a bit far from the Hall of People. The two walked hand in hand down the street, chatting as they went.
"Lu Lin, I feel something's a little strange." Hu Tao wrinkled her delicate nose.
"What's weird?"
"The thing I just swallowed seems to contain a very strong life force. After absorbing that life force, it seems to have changed a bit."
Lu Lin didn't pay much attention at first; it wasn't surprising that the thing had life force. But Hu Tao said that it could absorb life force and had even changed, so it wasn't what he thought.
"What changes?" Lu Lin asked seriously.
"My chest feels a little swollen." Hu Tao looked down at her flat chest.
Lu Lin considered a possibility: he had just acquired the host entry "Miraculous Healing," which granted him immense vitality. Could this be the reason?
Besides healing wounds, vitality can also promote growth and development, so the walnut may develop again as a result?
This guess is not without merit!
Lu Lin leaned close to Hu Tao's ear and whispered his guess, which made the energetic girl exclaim with surprise, "Really? Really?"
"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out by trying it a few more times," Lu Lin said with a smile.
Even if it can promote development, the effects certainly won't be immediately apparent. We'll have to observe it for a few more days to see what's going on.
Regardless, this is good news for Hu Tao. The quirky and clever Master Hu is not bothered by anything except his status as the number one Pyro Archer in Liyue.
"Oh dear, I must eat more later to replenish my nutrition!"
"Okay, okay, I'll order you a papaya stewed milk later."
"What kind of dish is papaya stewed with milk? I don't think Wanmintang has this dish."
"Hmm~ It's something good that can help with development. If Wanmintang doesn't have it, I'll try to make it for you later."
"Hmm, then this sect leader will be waiting for your good news~" The girl excitedly twirled around, then whispered in Lu Lin's ear, "Hurry up!"
......
Eat Tiger Rock, Wanmin Hall.
Master Mao specially reserved the best private room for Xiangling to entertain her friends.
Lu Lin and Hu Tao arrived first, Xiang Ling was busy preparing several dishes in the kitchen, and Chef Mao was receiving waves of guests.
"Hu Tao and Mr. Lu have arrived. Please come in, please come in. The room is on the third floor. Please go up first. My dishes will be ready soon."
Xiangling greeted the two of them warmly.
"Good evening, Xiangling. Do you need any help?" Hu Tao skipped over to Xiangling's stove and exclaimed, "It smells so good!"
"No need, the food will be ready soon. You can go to the private room and sit down. I'll be right there."
"Alright, let's go up first."
The two had barely sat down in the private room when the door opened again, and Ningguang and Ganyu walked in.
When they saw Ningguang, both Hu Tao and Lu Lin were stunned for a moment.
Hu Tao and Ning Guang had met a few times, but they weren't close, so she was surprised by Ning Guang's appearance. Lu Lin, on the other hand, hadn't expected that she would come looking for him that very evening, just after he had bullied her that morning.
