"Your sister has always had a lot to take care of. I imagine it took her quite so ti just to get to you..."
The Wanderer looked at Aether with a cheerful smile and spoke with delight:
"She can’t possibly stay by your side forever. And now that she’s gone, we can continue what we were just—"
But in the next mont, a slash of pitch-black sword energy ca flying straight at the Wanderer!
He quickly used Anemo power to raise a shield.
Though he managed to block the strike, he was still forced several steps back...
"Wanderer, I knew you wouldn’t leave so easily. That’s why I never really left either..."
Lumine once again appeared in the center of the area and spoke to the Wanderer:
"As expected. Whether or not we can completely destroy you, at least this version of you will leave your life behind here!"
"Whoa whoa, Lumine, I didn’t think you’d be thinking the sa way I was—not really leaving either..." The Wanderer sighed and waved his hand helplessly.
"Alright, alright, I don’t want to fight you. This body of mine is still quite valuable, after all..."
"This ti, I’m really leaving..."
As he spoke, the Wanderer prepared to leave.
But Lumine didn’t seem to believe him—instead, she dashed forward, intending to strike him down on the spot!
"Co on now, I said I was leaving. Why won’t you believe ?"
As the Wanderer spoke, not only did a burst of Anemo energy erupt from his body—but also a trace of Eerie power!
He seed able to perfectly combine two completely different powers.
Under the influence of both forces, the Wanderer burst forth with incredible speed, vanishing like a streak of wind into the distance...
"He really runs fast..." Lumine murmured casually, then turned to Aether and said,
"Alright, Brother, I’ll take you to reunite with Su Yuan and the others, then I’ll leave."
"Do you really have to go..." Hearing that, Aether couldn’t help but sound a little downhearted.
"Can’t we just stay together for once and not part ways again?"
"And... have you t Su Yuan before? How do you know his na? From your tone, it even sounds like you’re quite familiar with him..."
"Did I?" Lumine replied calmly, "That’s probably just your imagination and a misunderstanding..."
Afterward, under Lumine’s guidance and protection, Aether arrived at the gates of the Kamisato Estate.
Before he even stepped through the gate, Paimon, sensing sothing from inside, suddenly rushed out!
"Traveler, thank goodness! You’re okay!"
Paimon burst into tears of joy and flew straight toward Aether, hugging his head tightly.
"If you were gone, I wouldn’t even have the appetite to eat anymore..."
"There, there, Paimon. I’m back now, aren’t I..." Aether smiled gently, patting her on the back.
"Look at you—your snot, tears, and even your drool are all in my hair now..."
"It’s fine! It’s not like you’d mind anyway," Paimon replied.
"By the way, Traveler, how did you manage to escape from the Wanderer?"
"Speaking of that guy, just thinking about him makes mad! It’s bad enough that he had evil intentions and tried to kidnap you..."
"We’re supposed to be the best of partners! We’re inseparable! And yet, he just took you and left behind like I didn’t matter. That really ticked off!"
"Yeah, Paimon, I t my sister—she’s the one who saved from the Wanderer’s hands," Aether said, pointing to his side.
"See? She’s right here next to . Didn’t you notice?"
But Aether soon realized there was no sign of Lumine beside him anymore.
Really, even if she was going to leave, she could have at least said goodbye properly instead of just disappearing silently...
Aether sighed softly, then entered the Kamisato Estate together with Paimon to et up with everyone else.
Afterwards, Aether briefly exchanged what had just happened with Su Yuan and the others.
"So, you actually cut down that Dottore’s clone, Su Yuan..." Aether nodded and smiled at him.
"Su Yuan, you’re pretty impressive, huh?"
"And your body really seems special. Whether it was Neuvillette’s power before or Raiden Ei’s power now, you can use both smoothly and normally."
"It’s just a bit of a sha you can’t maintain it permanently—otherwise, your combat power would be absolutely terrifying!"
"Speaking of which, the Wanderer was looking for you because he wanted your remains to recreate a Gnosis and obtain divine authority—to reconnect and make use of Irminsul’s power again..."
Su Yuan spoke thoughtfully:
"But thankfully, there’s a condition for that to work. You’d have to willingly give up your life—otherwise, it’d be far too dangerous..."
"And you too, Su Yuan... I’m not sure whether you strictly count as a Descender, but if the Wanderer sets his sights on you next, I’m sure you’ll face a lot of trouble and danger too..."
"The Wanderer... what’s going on with him now? Back then, he was willing to erase himself from the world just to change the tragic outcos of the past..."
"But now, in order to achieve his goals, he’s becoming more and more ruthless... almost like Dottore..."
...........
Beidou was currently aboard the Alcor, speeding back toward Liyue Harbor.
Thinking back to what she saw earlier in Guyun Stone Forest, before she arrived in Inazuma, she couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious and uneasy...
Ningguang had never contacted her in such a way before.
Sothing serious must’ve happened in Liyue...
Had the Adepti failed to hold the line?
Had the Sea Creatures already invaded Liyue Harbor?
Was Ningguang, guarding the Jade Chamber as Liyue’s final line of defense, now waiting for her return to help?
Beidou let out a helpless chuckle.
She was probably overthinking it...
That woman, Ningguang—ticulous and calculating to the end—would never let sothing like that happen...
"Captain, what’s wrong? Got sothing on your mind?" At that mont, the sailor Furong walked over to Beidou and asked.
"Yeah, I’m thinking about a few things... Right now, it feels like nowhere in all of Teyvat is truly at peace anymore..."
"Aiya, Captain Beidou, don’t dwell on it too much. Since we’ve got nothing else to do, how about an arm-wrestling match?" Furong said with a grin.
"When was the last ti we had one, anyway?"
"Forget it, I can’t even rember... But all this ti, I’ve been training nonstop!"
"Maybe this ti, I’ll finally beat you, Captain!"
"Oh? Then I’d like to see just how much stronger you’ve gotten!"
Hearing Furong say that, Beidou’s interest was piqued.
After all, with nothing but the sa sights out at sea, you’ve got to find sothing to keep things interesting, right?
