Chapter 206

Mondstadt Square Continued

Takumi gave a big thumbs up to Klee in his heart. *You are indeed a good daughter. It wasn't in vain that I bought ten packs of that expensive Big Viagra just for you.*

Venti looked around, not surprised at all. After all, this was how the great Lord Takumi usually behaved. If he were serious, it meant things were very, very bad.

It seemed that Lord Takumi was quite happy. So, perhaps he didn't care about Venti neglecting his duties just moments ago?

Jean was slightly stunned but reasoned that anything she couldn't understand was simply beyond her as an ordinary human. After all, gods had their own incomprehensible thoughts. Take Lord Venti, the God of Wind, for instance—despite his carefree behavior, Mondstadt's peace and prosperity were due to his protection.

Hadn't Lord Venti himself sung drunken songs in front of his own statue, gotten credit at the tavern, gotten extremely drunk, and been thrown out by the bartender?

Alice's heart twinged. *Oh, my little Klee, you really are my sweetheart.* She looked at the smiling boy timidly.

"Klee, of course people who like each other would do something like that. But kids under twenty shouldn't watch it."

Klee pointed suspiciously at a passionate couple kissing on a nearby bench. "But, Mom, Klee often sees older brothers and sisters do that."

Klee then lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and said dejectedly, "So, does that mean Mom and Dad argued and separated?"

Takumi patted Klee's back gently and comforted her. "Of course not, little Klee. Your mom loves your dad, right, dear?"

Alice felt herself getting embarrassed. *Well, this man just has to toy with me, doesn't he? Sure, I have a daughter, but I'm still...* She shook her head. No, she couldn't think like that.

Alice looked closely at Takumi's face. *This man is not only terrifyingly powerful but also incredibly handsome.* In the larger universe, she knew there would be no chance of getting near someone like him.

*They say that getting close to such a 'terrifying' being brings unexpected benefits...*

With this thought, Alice's eyes began to sparkle, and Takumi looked like a walking golden mountain to her.

"Um, dear husband... can we really do that?"

Takumi extended his hand playfully. "Of course, dear wife." *She really is a witch—she's clever and quite the actress.*

"Since you said so, I'll do it." Alice pouted, leaning towards Takumi, her big eyes blinking.

Venti was flabbergasted. *As expected of Ms. Alice, daring to take the initiative with Lord Takumi.*

Jean was still processing Takumi's identity as the terrifying Lord of Heaven. As the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, she often dealt with affairs between lovers in Mondstadt, a city known for its freedom and romance. It wasn't uncommon to see couples kissing every day.

Takumi put his arm around Alice's waist, and Alice stood on her toes.

In that moment, Alice felt a magical power flow into her, and the name of that power appeared in her mind: *'Lucky Blessing.'* As long as she remained in the Teyvat universe, she would be favored by luck.

Alice was overjoyed—not because she received a blessing but because it confirmed her suspicion. Indeed, getting close to such a terrifying being did bring blessings.

Even the abyssal demons couldn't create something like a blessing, let alone Takumi, who was the law of heaven itself.

Alice truly was bold—treating him as an experimental subject. Takumi pinched her cheek, and Alice licked the corner of her mouth.

Takumi felt speechless. *I wonder if my saliva has some mysterious effect on a non-terrifying existence...* he thought, amused.

Klee looked at her loving parents, clapping her hands happily. "Wow! Mom and Dad really like each other. Will they be together forever?" Her big red eyes were filled with hope.

Takumi kissed Klee's cheek. "Of course, we'll be together forever, won't we, Alice?"

Alice quickly snuggled up to Takumi, her eyes sparkling. "Of course, we'll always be together, little sweetheart."

Little Klee jumped down from Takumi's arms, ran with her little arms spread wide, and laughed like a little sun. "Yay! Mom and Dad are back together, and Klee will have both parents by her side like everyone else!"

Jean watched Klee running happily, her heart swelling with maternal affection. Since Alice had left Klee in the care of the Knights of Favonius, everyone had adored her. But whenever Klee saw other children with their parents, there was always that longing look in her eyes.

Takumi looked at the witch, whose thoughts were as layered as a stack of buffs, and said playfully, "You really know how to take advantage of a situation."

"However, as a traveler from another world, you should know that once you enter my universe, there's no leaving for the rest of your life."

Alice shrugged. "Dear husband, if you don't want anyone to leave, then the universe is already closed."

When she first touched him, she not only received a 'blessing' but was also drawn into the 'Blueprint of the Gods.' Everything became clear instantly.

This man truly wanted to create a large universe and be the master of it.

*Is this the vision of a being who transcends the 'Tree and Sea'?* Alice thought, her admiration growing. *Amazing.*

Takumi looked at Venti and Jean.

There was no need to say anything about Venti. Jean, with her knight's uniform and kind-hearted nature, always working tirelessly for the people—he found her quite likable.

Well, to put it simply, there were few people he didn't like. He was naturally fond of everyone.

Jean lowered her head with trepidation as Lord Takumi's gaze settled on her, feeling uneasy. *Is this supreme being really looking at me?*

Takumi then turned to Venti. "Venti, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll overlook your dereliction of duty."

Venti was sweating profusely and immediately bowed. "Lord Takumi, I promise there won't be a next time." He wouldn't dare even think of it—especially now, with the former Tianli resurrected and watching over him.

Takumi waved his hand dismissively. "Don't be nervous. I'm here to give you a mission—two, actually."

Venti instantly perked up, excitement coursing through him. *A mission! At last, my mission is here!*

And not just one, but two!

He had watched his fellow Archons at Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru feasting and enjoying themselves while he couldn't even smell the food. His heart had grown sour with longing.
