"Don't worry, I'm very good at climbing," Kong said.

Upon entering Sumeru, Kong inexplicably fainted. He was then rescued by a girl named Kolai and her master and taken to Huacheng Guo.

As if triggered by some special talent, the traveler, who was a patient, was given a job to "clean the statues of the seven gods".

However, the travelers seemed used to it and did not find it strange.

"Let me go up with you. I can help you clean the higher parts."

Paimon's voice came to Kong's ears, and Paimon looked at Cole as if he had thought of something.

"By the way, Cole, do you know the Grass God?"

"The Grass God...?"

Cole pondered, "Are you referring to the Great Charm Tree King or the Lesser Lucky Grass King?"

"Is the Great Tree King... a previous Grass God?"

"That's right, the Great Tree King created the rainforest and built sand-proof walls..."

"Hmm, what else? What else?"

"Um... what happened after that..."

Is it because we are strangers that it's inconvenient for us to talk about this?

Paimon noticed Cole's predicament, shook his head, and waved his hand, "If that's really the case, you don't need to worry about it too much, it's okay."

"No, I'm not trying to hide anything."

Cole suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Actually, you're not exactly strangers to me."

"Um, you guys know Amber, right?"

This time, both the traveler and Paimon showed expressions of surprise.

Paimon: "Um..."

Sora: "Is that the Mondstadt flying fanatic?!"

Upon hearing this, Cole's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

"Yes, it's her!"

“I used to live in Mondstadt for a while.”

"Amber is really amazing!"

"Passionate about life, possesses a strong sense of justice, is not only highly motivated but also very empathetic..."

As Cole spoke, it was as if he had been reminded of the past, and the image of the girl in the red dress in Mondstadt seemed to appear before his eyes.

She still remembered what Amber had said to her when she was deep in darkness.

A smile is like a flame; it's contagious.

If I've ignited a smile on your face, please remember to always hold onto that smile.

If you ever meet someone who is also unhappy, you can make them happy too.

"Amber...she always manages to warm others like a flame."

As he spoke, Cole's eyes lit up.

"In short...you'll be infected by her enthusiasm and fall in love with that land..."

After pouring out all her emotions, Cole suddenly froze, then swayed her body awkwardly.

"Ahem... I said some strange things just now, sorry."

"Hehe." Paimon squinted and smiled, "I feel like I've become much closer to Cole all of a sudden."

"But let's leave it at that. Now we'll go up and clean up the Seven Gods statues."

“Okay.” Cole nodded. “I’ll go check on the awning up ahead, then we’ll meet up here.”

After saying that, the three of them quickly parted ways.

Kong quickly climbed to the Seven Gods Statue using the four-leaf clover.

After carefully wiping the statues of the Seven Gods with Paimon, Sora rushed to the original spot to wait for Cole.

One minute, two minutes...

"strangeness."

Unable to wait any longer, Paimon muttered, "Why is Cole so slow?"

"Washing the idols must take more time than checking the rain shelter."

With that, Paimon turned to look at Kong: "Shall we go check on Cole?"

"Cole!"

"Colette!!"

Along the way, Paimon kept calling Cole's name, and soon the man and the flying object saw the rain shelter that Cole had mentioned.

"strangeness..."

Paimon flew around the awning, scratching the back of his head: "Where's Coley?"

Kong didn't answer; he squatted down in a corner not far from the rain shelter.

A cluster of scattered footsteps came into view, then led straight into the rainforest not far away...

While unconscious, Cole had a dream in which he seemed to have returned to Mondstadt.

"Do you know, Cole?"

Amber, standing before him, shone like a sun upon Cole, but her light seemed somewhat dimmer than usual.

“I used to be exactly like you.”

"But there's something different..."

"After all, you're much gentler than me..."

"Mondstadt is great, isn't it? Mondstadt is really great..."

"So, Cole, remember to tell everyone after you leave Mondstadt..."

In her dream, Amber plucked a windmill grass and gave it to Krystal, who was about to leave Mondstadt for Mount Meru.

“Mondstadt is really good right now, let’s have them come and see for themselves.”

Cole suddenly awoke from her dream, just as a blade about to be sheathed appeared in her eyes.

Turning her gaze away from the blade, Cole saw a pair of eyes.

Those eyes sent shivers down Cole's spine, as if he had been transported back to his days of fleeing Mondstadt.

—How should I put it... it's like a block of ice.

—They are the complete opposite of Amber!

Chapter 116 I am the Forest Ranger Tinari

Those cold eyes made Cole uncomfortable, and she immediately turned her head away.

However, when he turned his head, he realized that the person in front of him had saved him, so he awkwardly turned his head back.

"Thank you...thank you."

Ke Lai bowed her head and thanked him. Her lowered gaze prevented her from seeing the person's face, but she did notice the bracelet on his wrist.

After that, there was a long silence, and Ke Lai did not hear a reply from the owner of the bracelet.

He looked up at the person in front of him with a puzzled expression, only to find that the person's gaze was already fixed on the broken mushroom beasts...

He stared at the fungus in front of him, but quickly looked away.

Just when Cole thought he would turn his attention to her, she discovered that the owner of the bracelet had already headed into the depths of the rainforest.

The strange behavior of the bracelet owner aroused Ke Lai's suspicion, and she kept staring at the person's departing figure.

"Cole!"

Paimon's voice from afar brought Cole back to his senses, but a moment of distraction caused the figure to completely disappear from his sight.

"Tell Master about this later."

The girl murmured to herself, then stood up and walked towards Paimon: "I'm here!"

"Colette, where did you go? You really scared us."

"Feel sorry..."

Kolei said sheepishly, "We were attacked by monsters earlier..."

"A monster?! Are you injured?"

"Do not worry."

After hesitating for a moment, Kolai said, "A kind person helped take care of those monsters earlier."

"Oh, I see. Then Cole should really thank this kind person."

As he spoke, Paimon looked around, tilting his head in confusion: "Strange...where is the kind person Cole mentioned?"

...

At this moment, the "kind person" stopped and took out a map from his pocket.

Mu Xian checked again and confirmed that the location marked on the map was indeed here.

The map was moved away from view, revealing a desolate landscape.

A few red plants grow in the desolation, their dark red flowers emitting a black aura, making the whole environment appear particularly dilapidated and eerie.

Upon seeing the scene before him, Mu Xian frowned slightly and stepped into this strange environment.

Half a month ago, Mu Xian had already arrived in Xumi and even made a trip to Xumi City.

However, Mu Xian soon emerged from Sumeru City.
