"Of course, we'll report it to the Knights of Favonius! Someone attempted to bomb Mondstadt, but the brave Spindrift Knight intervened, with the Honorary Knight as witness!" Lin Feng smiled at Eula, revealing his plan.
In the past, Eula's contributions remained largely unknown, making her efforts seem futile. Although Amber acted as a human megaphone, she lacked credibility.
But now, things were different - thanks to Lin Feng. As the one controlling the official account of the Knights of Favonius, posting a video showcasing their actions would be a breeze, hehe!
Naturally, he also felt compelled to praise the diligent Acting Grand Master; after all, if she got fired, there'd be no place for him either.
Hearing Lin Feng's plan, Eula's neck flushed red, and she responded somewhat defensively, "Hmph, who...who wants that credit? I'm here for vengeance against Mondstadt, not to..."
"Stop!" Lin Feng raised a hand, grinning. "You need to listen to me. Otherwise, you wouldn't want others knowing about the Spindrift Knight biting people, right?"
"You..." Eula's pale cheeks turned slightly pink as she recalled her reaction last time, feeling embarrassed enough to consider jumping into the river.
"Heh heh, just trust me; I still want my re~ward!" Lin Feng grinned mischievously at Eula. Gotcha! You're still easy prey for me.
Blushing with embarrassment, Eula reluctantly nodded. Of course, it was only because she faced Lin Feng. If it had been anyone else, their soul would have become another unfortunate addition to her sword's tally.
"It's quite late already. Let's not head back tonight. I heard that the Fatui left the Goth Grand Hotel, so there should be plenty of vacant rooms. Consider this...my treat for a night's stay!" Lin Feng looked at Eula, smiling warmly.
Eula hesitated but eventually agreed, though something felt slightly off about his words, yet she couldn't pinpoint what exactly.
Lin Feng led Eula to the Goth Grand Hotel, where the white-haired Goth sat behind the reception desk, engrossed in his phone, occasionally emitting soft, suggestive sounds.
"Ahem!" Lin Feng entered and cleared his throat loudly.
Goth hastily tucked away his phone, nearly dropping it in the process. He glanced irritably at the newcomers, initially intending to shoo them away.
However, upon seeing Lin Feng, Goth immediately straightened up. After all, he had purchased his phone from Lin Feng, which significantly enriched his elderly life.
"Guests, are you looking for accommodations? We have plenty of rooms available..." Goth smiled at the pair and inquired politely.
Lin Feng swiftly positioned himself behind Eula, raising his right hand with one finger extended while wildly blinking at Goth.
Goth instantly understood, having gained some knowledge through his internet browsing on the smartphone.
"Cough, cough, my apologies, esteemed guests. It seems my old mind has failed me; I forgot that the Fatui left most of our rooms in disarray, still uncleaned! Consequently, we only have one room remaining with a large bed!" Goth looked apologetically at them, maintaining a cheerful demeanor.
"Cough, what should we do? Well, one room it is then, anyway, dawn's almost here!" Lin Feng glanced awkwardly at Eula, seeking her agreement.
"How about...you stay here, and I'll go find Amber?" Eula suggested tentatively, gazing at Lin Feng.
On hearing this, Lin Feng nearly felt defeated - Amber, truly his lifelong nemesis!
"Indeed... It's too late to disturb others now. Let's make do with this room!" Lin Feng explained, looking at Eula.
"Well... alright then!" After hesitating for a moment, Eula recalled her status as a descendant of the Lawrence family and realized she likely wouldn't find accommodation elsewhere easily.
Lin Feng gave Goth a thumbs-up, paid the Mora, and cheerfully followed Eula upstairs.
As soon as he opened the door, Lin Feng spotted a large bed and immediately sprawled out comfortably on it.
"Ahh... so comfortable!" He sighed contentedly, glancing at Eula still standing near the entrance.
Eula tossed her greatsword onto the bed and warned coldly, "Do not cross this sword; otherwise, you'll experience just how sharp it is!"
With that, Eula headed into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Soon, steam filled the room, creating a hazy atmosphere where Lin Feng could faintly discern Eula's silhouette through the mist.
The sound of water splashing echoed in Lin Feng's mind, prompting him to visualize an epic visual feast using Eula's dark shadow as his guide.
"Gulp..." Lin Feng swallowed hard, tempted to check for any gaps in the door. However, his rational mind warned him that he couldn't withstand Eula's icy wrath!
Shortly after, Eula emerged wearing her original clothes. Her neck glistened with droplets of water, and her hair was damp, eliciting a stunned reaction - "Wow!"
"What are you staring at?!" Eula glared at Lin Feng, her gaze conveying a myriad of emotions. Her delicate skin shimmered with a faint pink hue, exuding a captivating translucence.
"I...I'm going to take a shower now!" Stuttering slightly, Lin Feng hunched over and shuffled towards the bathroom.
"What's wrong with your waist?" Observing Lin Feng's peculiar walk, Eula felt inexplicably concerned and couldn't help but ask.
Fearing that Eula might suspect something and label him unfavorably, Lin Feng forced himself to stand upright, smiling weakly. "Nothing, I'm fine!"
With great effort, Lin Feng managed to enter the bathroom.

Lying on the bed, Lin Feng endured immense torment as he breathed in the faint fragrance emanating from Eula's direction. He decided to feign sleep and then subtly roll over towards her side, hoping she wouldn't react too harshly.
Being a man of action, Lin Feng wasted no time. He began softly snoring, "Hmmm...".
After about a minute, he pretended discomfort, scratched his backside, and slowly turned towards Eula. In that instant, with a seemingly casual movement, his hand landed on Eula's thigh.
With a sudden "thud!", Eula kicked Lin Feng off the bed.
"What...what happened? Ouch!" Rubbing his sore behind, Lin Feng opened his eyes, looking bewildered at Eula.
"Hmph, I won't forget this indecent act!" Eula glared coldly at Lin Feng.
"But I didn't do anything! I was just sleeping," Lin Feng protested innocently, almost deserving an award for best actor!
Eula eyed him scornfully and said flatly, "A person asleep doesn't breathe so heavily or have such rapid heartbeats."
"I swear it wasn't intentional; I was truly asleep. Maybe my heart wanted to be closer to yours, guiding my body..." Lin Feng looked earnestly at Eula, clumsily attempting sweet talk.
However, inexperienced with such situations, Eula blushed slightly, uncertain if it was from anger or embarrassment.
