The soldiers all hurried into action.
They naturally did not have any high-end artifacts, but for this kind of project, they could apply for a thousand-square-meter Serenitea Pot as a transport tool.
Otherwise, with a distance that far away, they would really work themselves to death.
Meanwhile, in the Sengoku world, after the order was given, the demon commander shouted to his underlings, "More work is here. Start digging the mountain. This time we need a lot!"
"But boss, we just finished a whole day..."
"Damn it, then do you still want to eat meat? Roasted meat from Inazuma, hot and fragrant. Without mora, what are you using to buy it, a hammer? Get lost if you don't want to work. There are plenty of people who do.
You don't have the herb-growing skills that Dinen has. Go dig rocks instead."
Faced with their boss's forceful attitude, the underlings did not dare say anything.
Because this boss, though he liked to curse, really did treat his people well.
Even though everyone worked hard, their children could be sent to the immortal realm to receive an education.
They had even heard that a half-demon girl named Shiori had now become a small leader.
How amazing was that?
Of course, they were working hard not only for their children.
They also wanted a better life.
That naturally could not be separated from mora and points.
Digging mountains here was tiring, but what job was not tiring?
Besides, in the past they could only eat rubbish food. Even if they sometimes hunted wild game, it could never last.
Demons did not know how to raise livestock or grow crops.
They could only eat whatever they could get.
Not all demon clans were as large and orderly as the Western Lands.
Now the demons had food and drink.
It was simply great.
Watching his underlings get busy, the demon commander nodded in satisfaction.
The more projects there were, the better his own life would become too.
At this rate, it would not be long before he could bring his family into a better life.
By this time, after Ningguang and the others saw that the task was finished, they also prepared to set out as envoys to Sumeru.
Tighnari, after hearing the news, chose to go with them as well.
He felt that going back with them would definitely help smooth things over.
As for Collei, she was temporarily left in Liyue.
"When you go, be careful, especially when passing through dangerous places. I think the Fatui will likely target this matter. There are many moles in Sumeru..."
"You, don't worry so much. With Beidou and Keqing there, it'll be very safe..."
Ningguang rolled her eyes.
She felt that Su Han was getting more and more nagging lately.
But she really liked it.
Being cared for by the one she loved.
That feeling was truly wonderful.
After seeing Ningguang off, Su Han went to his shop to inspect the situation there.
"Sir, you're here..."
"Mm. How's business in the shop?"
"Sales are excellent. Especially the dried squid and sea beast jerky. Their sales are astonishing. Even though the profit margin is low, the volume is huge.
People from other nations really like this flavor.
Some of them have even figured out how to put this jerky into instant noodles.
It tastes great too."
"Good. Keep working hard. We've been very busy these last few days. I'll give you all a raise later."
"Thank you, sir."
Seeing how prosperous the shop was, Su Han prepared to return to the Jade Chamber.
But he did not expect to see Xiangling and Shenhe walking over.
"Huh? Big Brother Su Han, you're here..."
"And you two are?"
"Oh, we just made mooncakes today and were planning to bring them to our master. Do you want to come with us?"
"Of course! I haven't seen Granny Ping in a long time. Let's go together and bring her a gift. Where's Ganyu?"
"Senior Sister said there's a lot going on right now. She'll come later and let us come first."
"Mm, that makes sense. With Ningguang gone, work is indeed busier."
Su Han nodded, and the three of them headed to Yujing Terrace.
Compared to the three Adepti who lived long-term in the Jade Chamber, Granny Ping preferred the sights of the mortal world.
Su Han had once asked her.
If she went to the Jade Chamber, her cultivation would improve, and aging would also slow down.
But Granny Ping said that the smoke and fire of mortal life was what she longed for most.
She was already old, so she would not take part in fighting anymore.
So she stayed in Yujing Terrace all year round.
When the three of them pushed open the gate of the small courtyard, they found that there was not only Granny Ping inside.
There was also the Adeptus from the Clouds.
"Well, well. What a rare visit. Why did all of you come over today? Aren't you busy? I remember there was a task..."
"We just finished it. We were only there to watch. This time it was the Raiden Shogun and the others who completed it. Heh. Isn't it the Moonchase Festival? I brought some mooncakes for you.
Adeptus from the Clouds, have some too.
They're all new flavors.
They're very good..."
"Mm, then let me try them."
The Adeptus from the Clouds had already taken human form.
But her mouth was still as sharp as ever.
After only a few bites, she started worrying about Su Han and Yanfei's matter.
"What do you think of that girl? Don't let her usually look so shrewd. In truth, she doesn't understand feelings at all. Although she's a half-adeptus beast, I've already spoken to her family, and they agreed too..."
"Let things happen naturally..."
Su Han gave a wry smile.
He was no longer the lone youth he used to be.
There were quite a few wives around him.
And as for this kind of situation, where a wife was being practically delivered to him, if he could refuse it, he would rather refuse.
The Adeptus from the Clouds shook her head when she heard that.
"You know nothing. Us older folks may not have your potential, but our eye for people is still very good.
That child Yanfei likes laws, so she has always been running around for Liyue.
But after you established the Jade Chamber, hasn't she been able to see you every day?"
"Uh... that's true."
Su Han came to a realization.
It did seem like he had seen her every day lately.
The Adeptus from the Clouds smiled. "She's willing to give up her dream for you. Do you really not want to give her a promise? Back then, Shenhe also did not like my arrangements. But now, isn't she happy?
Isn't that girl Ganyu happy?
Isn't Xiangling happy?"
"But you know, there are already quite a lot of people around me. If it's like this... Yanfei might be neglected."
"You really don't understand women. And besides, do you still care about time now? Why was the old Oceanid suppressed in the past? Wasn't it because he always thought he had too few wives? He kept targeting us, and in the end, the Geo Lord cleaned him up...
But you're different, Su Han. You're the hope of this world.
And your potential is so great.
Your descendants will surely be extraordinary too. The more children you have, the more this world can be protected. Could it be that you want to keep working yourself to exhaustion every day?"
After hearing the Adeptus from the Clouds' persuasion, Su Han even felt that if he did not take Yanfei, that would be somewhat wrong.
Thinking about it carefully, her suggestion really was not bad.
Granny Ping on the side also smiled and said, "Don't always say the Adeptus from the Clouds is meddling. In the younger generation, who could possibly be worthy of Yanfei? Her identity as an adeptus beast aside, how many are there left in Liyue?
And among those who could compare to you, there are even fewer. She has also joined the all-heavens task group now.
You two have already had opportunities to interact.
You don't need to be deeply in love. Sometimes, a woman only needs a promise."
"I understand."
Su Han instantly understood what they meant.
Actually, both men and women needed reassurance in love.
Yanfei might really care about him at first.
But after such a long time of attention, and after so many times of saving Liyue, Su Han had truly underestimated his own charm.
That half-adeptus lady might have already had him on her mind long ago.
Seeing him agree, the two Adepti also nodded in satisfaction.
After that, the group chatted for a while.
Everyone had a very good time.
It was just that Su Han did not stay long.
Because inside the Jade Chamber, they were currently discussing the distribution of treasures from the Qingyun world.
They were calling him back.
"Then Shenhe, you stay and keep Master company. I'm heading back first..."
"Okay."
Su Han turned to leave.
And the Adeptus from the Clouds sighed. "This child is good in every way, except that he sometimes carries too many burdens and wants to handle everything himself. The Geo Lord said he likes beautiful women. But tell me, which man in this world does not like beautiful women...
If he can save the world like Su Han, so what if he likes a few more women?"
"Well said. He has saved so many common people, and so many nations. If not for Su Han... not to mention Liyue, even Inazuma and Mondstadt would still be in dire straits now."
"Yes, so Shenhe, you should be more proactive. Especially after you go back, talk to Ganyu about it. Have children early, and your position will be stable.
I heard the Raiden Shogun can't have children right now.
You must seize the chance.
If you get pregnant... Su Han's affection for you will naturally increase."
"But... he said our current situation isn't suitable for having children..."
"Hmph. Nonsense. How many people are still fighting now? A woman only needs ten months of pregnancy before she can give birth. Do you think you have to become a god before you can have children?"
Facing her master's teaching, Shenhe could only smile wryly.
And Granny Ping said, "Sometimes, you younger ones rush too fast. That's why the pressure keeps growing. It's time to slow down a little.
It's only been a few months, and you've already united three nations.
Stabilize what you have first, then plan for more. Don't be greedy."
"Yes, we understand."
The two women nodded repeatedly.
They did quite agree with this matter.
Although the tasks were frequent, there were also more and more things to handle.
Being able to squeeze out some time to come here was already very difficult.
Even Shenhe now would make time to teach the soldiers and experts.
Otherwise, there would not be enough manpower at all.
