Genshin Impact: It All Began With Me Being Stepped On by Arlecchino

Chiori lay on the bed, her arms wrapped around a pillow, her face resting on it as she breathed softly. From behind, one could easily see her excellent flexibility; her current posture fully showcased her devilish figure. Without good coordination and flexibility, she could never have achieved such a beautiful pose.

The dripping oil fully demonstrated the immense firepower this turret had to endure in the heat of battle. Of course, as the machine gunner, Lu Li, after so many rounds of continuous firing, no longer had the strength to start a new war.

They had fought four arduous battles back-to-back. Sweating profusely was inevitable. Chiori had completely lost the ability to resist by the third round and had been thoroughly conquered, but Lu Li had persisted until the end of the fourth. This was his limit.

But with effort comes reward. Seeing the messy yet stunning scene, and Chiori's eyes rolling back and her tongue lolling out, Lu Li felt a great sense of pride. His training had indeed paid off. If he hadn't trained his abs to be so hard and his waist to be so defined, he could never have achieved this.

He slowly walked over to her, gently wrapped his arms around the Thundering Seamstress, and looked at her gradually clearing eyes with a gentle expression. "I didn't disappoint you, did I..."

"...Hmph... you... it's as if you were trying to get me pregnant..." Chiori said resentfully. Seemingly not satisfied, she reached out and twisted his waist in annoyance. After a long moment, she withdrew her hand, blushing, and rested her head in his arms. "Just this once, never again... I don't like taking medicine... unless, it's a special time..."

Lu Li hummed in agreement, then held her with a mischievous smile. "I know. But you haven't told me yet, did I suit your taste? Were you satisfied?"

Chiori glared at him and huffed. "I feel so full right now, and tired, and weak, and thirsty. What do you think?" she said softly, then buried her head in his shoulder. "I really want to sleep right now. What about you? What do you... think of me?"

Lu Li was stunned. He saw the nervous look in her eyes, and a smile played on his lips. "I'm very satisfied... Chiori is truly wonderful..."

A small smile appeared on Chiori's lips. She closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around him, and said softly, "You know what to say..." After speaking, her breathing became quiet and even. She had fallen asleep. Lu Li's gaze softened. He held her and drifted off to sleep as well.

"Sleep well, Chiori. And, as for how I feel about you... I like you very much!"

Soon after he fell asleep, Chiori's eyelids fluttered in his arms. A smile graced her lips, and she snuggled closer.

(I love you too...) the newly-wedded Chiori said softly in her heart.

————

The next morning, after bidding farewell to Chiori, Lu Li began to prepare for the day's schedule. With a warrant from "The Knave," Arlecchino, he could command the entire House of the Hearth in Fontaine. He immediately put this power to use.

With the "children's" terrifying intelligence-gathering abilities and a close cooperation with the Spina di Rosula, by evening, just before the banquet, all the wholesale and retail factories for "L'es" in Fontaine, as well as all the distributors, had been identified. The Special Patrol, the Spina di Rosula, and the House of the Hearth were just waiting for the order to crush this evil force with lightning speed.

Of course, it wasn't time for the official operation yet, but once it began, their destruction was a foregone conclusion. At this critical moment, Navia was naturally with Clorinde. To prevent the enemy from making a desperate, suicidal move, Callas had entrusted his daughter to the strongest Champion Duelist of the era and hidden them in a secret manor, unknown to the outside world.

Finally, in the evening, Lu Li met with Callas, and they rode in a carriage to a noble's manor outside the Court of Fontaine for the banquet. On the way, Callas briefly explained why he had been invited and what his responsibilities were.

At the same time, as they arrived at the manor, Melus and Silver received the order to officially begin the operation. The cleanup had begun.

Inside the manor, upon seeing his good friend, Marcel, the president of the Poissonchantier, with whom the Spina di Rosula had a cooperative relationship, Callas had already confirmed his target. He had already gathered a lot of evidence, but a part of him had still hoped it wasn't him. But now, seeing Marcel in the manor, looking surprised as if he had no idea he would be there, Callas's heart grew heavy.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Callas gave a subtle signal to Lu Li, who was watching from the shadows, and then made an excuse to leave with Marcel, heading towards the deeper part of the garden where they had agreed to meet their informant.

Marcel watched him go, a sinister glint in his eyes and a cruel smile on his lips.

...

After Callas left, the informant who was supposed to meet him and reveal the organization's secrets also arrived. He looked at Marcel's cold, unquestioning gaze with a complex expression, then nodded silently and headed towards the garden to meet Callas.

After watching him leave, Marcel made another move. As the mastermind behind a decade of unsolved crimes and a self-made capitalist who had built a large trading company, he naturally had more than one solution to deal with an enemy who might discover his true identity. The assassin he had dispatched would be his final insurance. And if the assassin failed, the Primordial Seawater he carried would dissolve his body, framing Callas for murder. That was the importance of a disposable pawn.

In Marcel's mind, no matter what Callas did, he was doomed.

But he had miscalculated one thing. There was an unexpected guest here.

Just as the gunman was about to head to the scene, Lu Li, who had circled around behind him, knocked him out with a single, powerful blow. After confirming he was carrying Primordial Seawater and a loaded firearm, Lu Li snorted. Caught red-handed!

And by now, the factories and distributors should have been taken down. The original fate had been completely reversed.

Marcel, or rather, Vacher... you're finished!
