The commotion outside the wooden cabin alerted the gods present.
And Qin Yu, of course.
Everyone instinctively looked at the Cryo Archon.
"...Let's go take a look."
The Archon frowned, clearly unaware of the situation, and merely shook her head with a slight headache.
"Okay, I'll go."
Qin Yu nodded and left his seat.
...
In the small courtyard outside.
A probing exchange, led by Signora and Eula, had reached a fever pitch.
Sitting nearby were Columbina and Barbara, who were naturally enjoying the show from the front row.
"I told you, I don't know her!"
With a *snap*, Eula slammed the table and stood up, glaring intently at Signora, who sat opposite her.
Her blood pressure had clearly risen, and her words were considerably colder.
Someone claiming to look exactly like her? How was that possible!
"Just tell me if she looks similar."
Signora pouted and casually tossed out a photo of Arlecchino before crossing her arms.
But her rather slender chest obviously couldn't provide much pressure to the puppet lady.
Quite the opposite, in fact...
"Tsk, are all Mondstadt women this well-endowed?"
Signora muttered to herself, her gaze lingering on Eula for a moment.
The latter was currently leaning forward, her arms propped on the wooden table.
And due to her long legs, the height of her hips was almost parallel to her back.
If you know, you know what kind of pose that is.
Perhaps the argument had heated up, as Eula was breathing slightly heavily.
With each deep breath, her impressive cleavage, which even her tight leather suit couldn't completely conceal, swayed as if about to break free.
Beyond the superfluous peaks was a flat, toned abdomen, and a sudden narrowing to a slender yet resilient waistline.
A pair of full-thighed legs exuded a sexy, hard-earned strength.
Her gaze moved past her waist to the rounded curve of her hips.
This figure was too unfair.
The puppet lady gritted her silver teeth and subconsciously looked at Columbina.
Sister, there's a bad person here!
"..."
Columbina smiled helplessly and gently shook her head.
"No, how could this be...!"
Eula, still fuming, suddenly noticed Arlecchino's photo.
She froze.
The same hairstyle, the highlights, the similar Mondstadt-style attire.
She really did look alike, like twin sisters of different color schemes!
In that instant, Eula wavered.
Was she truly a runaway member of the Lawrence family?
What was her relationship with herself?
Just then.
"Signora, Miss Eula, what's going on?"
Qin Yu hurried over, aiming to de-escalate the situation.
He then raised his hand—
*Bonk*.
"My partner, what are you doing!"
Signora's little head was tapped, and she immediately protested.
She glared with her beautiful eyes and swung her small, pink fist in retaliation.
Did the puppet lady have no pride?
"What do you think?"
Qin Yu took a light punch to the abdomen and said exasperatedly.
He also gently squeezed Signora's fair, tender hand to comfort her.
Calm down.
She had traveled across the sea from Mondstadt and was a guest representing the Knights.
Why were they arguing?
Didn't they know they should...
Qin Yu's gaze inadvertently fell on Eula, and he paused.
The latter hadn't realized anything was amiss, still maintaining her elegant and seductive pose, propped on the wooden table.
Such a perfect curve...
My pen pal, your physique is too well-trained.
"What are you looking at...!"
Signora secretly pinched Qin Yu hard, a genial smile on her face.
Heh, men.
Always looking at something else while holding what's in their bowl.
We haven't even settled the score about the engagement yet.
And you're holding my hand, but where are you looking so attentively!
"Anyway, stop arguing for now."
Qin Yu winced in pain and let out a light cough.
His mind and eyes had their own agendas.
He, a grown man, couldn't control such subconscious actions.
"...We're not arguing."
Eula, sensing someone's heated gaze, rolled her eyes haughtily.
She snorted and sat down, crossing her long legs and straightening her back.
The graceful, alluring curve of her figure made Signora's face flush.
Are big breasts all that matters?!
"..."
Qin Yu twitched his lips, *Can you please stop pinching me?*
Don't be sad, small is cute too.
Signora snorted, *I don't care.*
?
Just as the two were secretly competing with each other.
"What are you two doing in broad daylight!"
Eula, seeing Signora leaning on Qin Yu, couldn't stand it any longer.
But as a severe tsundere, she feigned disdain, her expression icy.
"Heh, there are many more interesting things my partner and I can do at night than during the day."
Signora rolled her eyes and directly wrapped her arm around Qin Yu, tilting her chin up provocatively.
You dead tsundere, you're already out of date!
"You...!"
"Oh, are you jealous?"
The puppet lady's few words left Miss Eula speechless.
"Alright, let's all get along."
Qin Yu smiled helplessly, pushed away Signora, who was clinging to him, and sat down.
Just then.
"What's going on?"
A clear, cold voice came, and everyone looked up instinctively.
Bathed in sunlight, the Cryo Archon, clad in a pure white cloak, strode forward with her slender, fair legs.
Her languid and indifferent demeanor clearly showed she didn't want to come out.
After all, the sun was very bright.
"Your Majesty, the Archon, look at her!"
Signora found a leader who could rival Eula, and pointed her small hand.
"?"
The Archon looked at Eula and let out a soft sound of surprise.
Arlecchino?
But her aura was completely different; she wasn't the same person.
Besides, Arlecchino had been with the Fatui for many years, and wasn't in the same generation as the woman before her.
Signora was somewhat disappointed.
That was true; the children raised from childhood in the Hearth.
The timelines didn't intersect at all.
"I already said, I don't know her."
Eula snorted and emphasized.
"So this is Arlecchino."
Qin Yu picked up the photo from the table and instinctively held it up, comparing it with Eula's face.
Both are cold beauties. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Is this photo you?"
"This isn't me at all!"
"I said she's not you either."
Qin Yu shook his head, was it just a coincidence?
The misunderstanding seemed to have been resolved.
But it felt like something was still left undone.
"Have some of these pastries."
Columbina tilted her head and smiled.
She casually leaned closer.
"...Oh, thank you."
Qin Yu, under the gaze of the Cryo Archon, Ei, and the other women, put on a brave face and "embraced her left and right."
Columbina, don't be so cunning at a crucial moment!
"...!"
Eula pursed her lips and looked down at her half-finished glass of wine, saying nothing.
The rippling surface of the wine made her gaze drift.
Partner... engagement...
Living so happily, no wonder she didn't want to write to her.
"Miss Eula?"
Barbara gently tugged at her and whispered.
Don't give up.
"..."
Eula nodded slightly.
She wasn't one to give up easily.
Qin Yu...
Until I fully understand your weakness and exact my revenge, I will not take a single step back.
I will have my revenge.
"Let's go, it's time to inspect the newly developed weapons."
The Archon didn't linger on Eula and turned to leave.
"My partner, come on."
Signora smiled mysteriously, clearly confident in the equipment she had developed.
There will be surprises you'll like.
"I want to go too."
Suddenly, a cold and firm voice rang out.
It was Eula. She raised her face and said faintly.
Let her see what Qin Yu usually does.
