"Ah... As for Junior sister... No problem, I'll have someone lift your restrictions shortly!" Ganyu nodded, feeling quite guilty towards her junior sister.
"Great, let's leave it at that then!" With those words, Cloud Retainer ended the call.
Ganyu promptly took out her phone and immediately lifted Cloud Retainer's restrictions. Silently, she murmured to herself, "Junior sister, don't blame me; I had no choice..."
Soon, Cloud Retainer received the notification of her unblocking.
"Haha, Ganyu, such a dutiful child!" Cloud Retainer chuckled and resumed her live stream. She had truly felt suffocated over these years, lacking even someone to talk to.
"Cough cough, this immortal is back!" Clearing her throat, Cloud Retainer began narrating another tale.
"Let me share with you all the story of my other disciple..."
"Wait, what about Ganyu?"
"I want to hear about Secretary Ganyu from Liyue! Even my grandpa calls her 'Sister Ganyu.'"
"Yes, yes, absolutely!"
As Ganyu watched the live stream, anxiety gripped her heart, fearing her master might lose control again. If so, she would reluctantly have to report her once more, burdened by guilt.
Fortunately, Cloud Retainer proved trustworthy and refrained from telling Ganyu's story.
However, Shenhe wasn't as fortunate.
"When Shenhe was young..." Cloud Retainer began, only to be interrupted by a flying pebble.
With a "pop," the stone struck the phone, causing it to explode instantly.
At that moment, Shenhe hurried over and asked, concerned, "Master, are you alright? I accidentally... while practicing..."
Cloud Retainer's face turned pitch-black, staring at Shenhe without uttering a word...

"Eula, can we slow down a bit? Huff huff..." Lin Feng trailed behind the garrison squad during their training exercise, panting heavily with exhaustion.
"Hmph! If you can't handle this level of intensity, maybe you should stick to your Cyber Knights squad!" Eula waited briefly for Lin Feng before snorting disdainfully, her head held high with pride.
"No way, I'll push through a little more!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and continued following closely.
The squad members laughed heartily but didn't ease their pace one bit.
After some time passed:
"I...I really can't go on anymore. How about taking a break?" Lin Feng gasped for breath, pleading once again.
Eula shook her head helplessly and promptly grabbed one of Lin Feng's arms.
Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately smiled, thinking, Ah, my dear wife Eula still cares for me; she's coming to lead me along.
However, with a swift tug, Eula started running, pulling him along. He felt his arm nearly dislocating as his legs involuntarily followed her pace.
"Hmph, my team members never fall behind!" Eula declared proudly with a slight snort.
Finally, after enduring this grueling training, the garrison squad completed their patrol around the snow-capped mountains.
Upon reaching the campsite, Lin Feng gratefully sat down to rest, feeling utterly relieved.
Just then, Bai Shao approached with a steaming bowl of soup and handed it to Lin Feng with a smile, softly asking, "Do you have feelings for The Captain?"
"Ah, so you noticed! Yes, indeed," Lin Feng replied openly, accepting the soup with a grin.
"Of course, The Captain has never been this friendly towards anyone before!" Bai Shao chuckled confidently.
"Hmm... how does that relate to me liking her? Shouldn't it be about whether she likes me?" Lin Feng questioned with a smile.
"It absolutely matters! If someone doesn't reciprocate The Captain's feelings, they wouldn't receive such kindness from her!" Bai Shao began sharing stories with Lin Feng, revealing what Eula liked and describing her personality traits.
"Bai Shao..." Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind them; Eula stood there, glaring coldly at her.
"The C-Captain!" Bai Shao chuckled awkwardly and hastily retreated.
Lin Feng grinned mischievously, then handed his bowl of soup to Eula, saying, "Take a sip, it'll warm you up!"
"Hmph, drink it yourself! Can't even handle that short walk?" Eula looked at Lin Feng with her hands on her hips, clearly expressing disdain.
Instantly, Lin Feng feigned anger but quickly smiled again, teasing, "If you don't drink it, I'll have to feed you myself!"
Eula's pale face flushed slightly at Lin Feng's words, vividly recalling the embarrassing incident when he had fed her before.
"No way!" She shook her head firmly; as the captain, she couldn't possibly...
"Ah...you wouldn't want them to know how I made you drink hot water yesterday, would you?" Lin Feng threatened, wearing a sly grin while gazing at Eula.
"You..." Eula's cheeks turned bright red, but considering Lin Feng's unpredictable nature, she reluctantly gave in.
She took the soup, feeling embarrassed yet warmed by its comforting heat once she sipped it.
From the sidelines, other squad members watched with amusement, whispering among themselves:
"Eh, is our Captain acting like a different person?"
"The Captain blushing? Lin Feng sure knows how to work his charm!"

After finishing the warm soup, Eula smiled elegantly and said, "Follow me; I'll teach you sword techniques!"
With that, Eula led the way. Lin Feng reluctantly got up and followed her.
Soon, they reached the beach, but the biting cold wind made it exceptionally chilly!
"Firstly, to learn my sword technique, you must master the Dance of Sacrifice! However, the Dance of Sacrifice is derived from Lawrence..." Eula gazed at Lin Feng, beginning to explain slowly.
Lin Feng's eyes immediately lit up, as the Dance of Sacrifice was his absolute favorite. Especially mesmerizing were Eula's graceful movements...
"Uh-huh!" Lin Feng eagerly nodded, focusing intently on Eula.
Eula blushed slightly, then took out her phone and started playing music.
As the melody filled the air, Eula opened her eyes gently, raised her arms crossing them overhead, and lifted onto her toes...
"Dance of Sacrifice, Act III - Flickering Candlelight!"
***
After a while, the dance concluded. Lin Feng stared at Eula, captivated by her breathtaking performance.
"Well, did you remember the steps?" Eula approached him, asking coldly.
Lin Feng nodded, then quickly shook his head. It felt surreal, as if he were dreaming, with Eula standing right before him.
"Hmm?" Eula shot a stern glance at Lin Feng, indicating that she expected him to observe and learn. Judging by his expression, it seemed clear he had been solely focused on watching her.
Despite his dazed look, she couldn't help but feel quite proud of herself.
"Ahem, I got the hang of some parts!" Lin Feng cleared his throat, finally snapping out of his trance.
"Good, why don't you give it a try now?" Eula nodded, a sly smile flickering across her face.
"Uh..." Lin Feng was momentarily stunned. He wasn't Great Wei Mound; how could he possess such skills?!
