"but..."

"This is my consciousness space, and it's also where this evil eye can be most effective."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xian gripped his longsword, followed by a sharp sound.

The sharp sound caused a change in Mu Xian's expression; the sound was indeed quite grating.

Fortunately, the sharp sound disappeared quickly.

Before Mu Xian could even relax, the doctor drew his scimitar and stabbed at him.

However, the doctor's action was just as clumsy as his grip on the knife.

Mu Xian's flawed moves allowed him to deflect the doctor's attacks and then turn the tables on him.

A white light, like a thin thread, swept across the curved sword and the doctor's neck.

The scimitar snapped in two, falling into the water along with the doctor's head.

The sight of his figure turning into blood and merging into the water surprised Mu Xian.

—Did this doctor die so easily?

"careful!"

Hu Tao's voice made Mu Xian realize that this was an illusion.

Realizing what was happening, Mu Xian looked behind him.

Behind him appeared the doctor, who was about to slash at Mu Xian with his scimitar.

This time, there were no flaws; the doctor's sword strikes were as if he had practiced them countless times.

It even gave Mu Xian a sense of familiarity.

It's like... the same move I used to behead the Doctor.

Mu Xian could certainly counter his own moves.

But before Mu Xian could react, everything in front of him quickly receded like the tide.

Instead, a new scenario has emerged.

There was no doctor here; it was as if I was standing in front of a tall building, with people below me holding weapons and glaring at me with hostility.

This scene felt strangely familiar to Mu Xian.

However, before Mu Xian could figure out where this sense of familiarity came from, the scene in front of him changed once again.

The scene still felt familiar to Mu Xian, and this time Mu Xian knew exactly where he was.

The residence of the Gunnhild family in Mondstadt.

Emerging from a room he could barely remember, Mu Xian found himself in a dimly lit hall.

The hall in my memory was so dark and gloomy, with no sunlight, that it was hard to tell whether it was night or day outside.

The scene here made a dark light flash in Mu Xian's eyes, and the feeling of weakness in his body made him raise his right hand.

It was a right hand smaller than when it transformed into a child through the bracelet.

If Mu Xian, who turned into a bracelet, was ten years old, then he himself would only be about five years old now.

"Five years old...?"

Mu Xian quickly withdrew his right hand and then climbed down the stairs, leaning against the handrail.

At five years old, Mu Xian once again experienced the difficulty of having to climb down each staircase.

This was something he hadn't experienced in a long time, but Mu Xian felt as if he had just done it not long ago.

After struggling to climb down the stairs, he then laboriously opened the door in front of him.

Sunlight streamed through the open door, casting two shadows on the carpet inside the room.

One person is Mu Xian.

As for the other person...

"Mu Xian...?"

Frey is Mu Xian's former appearance, but her face shows a look of astonishment that Mu Xian cannot understand.

After the initial shock came a wave of delight.

Overjoyed, Frey knelt down and hugged Mu Xian.

She was very fast, but Mu Xian still managed to catch her speed.

Mu Xian tried to dodge immediately, but his frail body only moved his feet clumsily.

The distance they moved was barely a distance, and Mu Xian was held in Frey's arms like that.

Frey held Mu Xian without saying anything, her body trembling involuntarily.

She trembled for a long time before slowly releasing Mu Xian.

She released Mu Xian and stroked his head, her eyes full of doting affection.

"Is it a nightmare?"

Mu Xian did not answer, just like an observer, looking into Frey's eyes without any emotional fluctuation.

If Mu Xian weren't still unaware of the situation, he would have even wanted to slap the hand away.

The child's eyes always shone, and that light overshadowed Mu Xian's indifference.

Looking at the silent Mu Xian, Frey assumed that Mu Xian was just used to being silent.

A bitter smile flashed across her face, but she deliberately didn't let Mu Xian see it.

"Mu Xian, from now on, you can say whatever you want."

"Mom will always be by your side."

The behavior, which contradicted his memory, made Mu Xian feel somewhat strange.

But Mu Xian felt no curiosity about her, nor did he want to look up to see what her expression was.

Moving away from Frey's head pat, Mu Xian walked out of the mansion step by step.

Frey was taken aback by Mu Xian's silence, but her gaze remained fixed on the small figure as she left.

Although she didn't know what Mu Xian was going to do, Frey was only thinking about taking good care of him.

—Even if...it's just a dream.

Thinking of this, Frey caught up with Mu Xian, but only followed behind him.

The knight's manners kept Frey from saying anything more along the way.

She just kept her head down and carefully watched the path under Mu Xian's feet, afraid that he would fall to the ground.

But this was just unnecessary concern for Mu Xian. It wasn't the first time Mu Xian had tried to adapt to his body.

At five years old, Mu Xian walked very slowly, but he still managed to travel all over Mondstadt.

Everything in Mondstadt felt strangely familiar to Mu Xian.

But there's something different—these guys are overly enthusiastic.

Mu Xian dodged another apple offered by a vendor, and then heard the sound of a book falling to the ground.

He turned his head and saw a little girl who was much younger than him.

Holding her books, she stared blankly at Mu Xian, then quickly looked away awkwardly.

However, Mu Xian didn't look at the girl's expression; instead, he stared at the cover of the book on the ground.

The Wild Boar Princess

—It seems that some things haven't changed.

"Mu Xian, do you want that storybook?"

Frey, who had been watching Mu Xian closely, saw Mu Xian's actions and smiled as she spoke.

"Let's go buy it together later."

Mu Xian did not answer, and looked away from the book.

Frey's smile instantly turned awkward.

However, upon seeing Mu Xian, his awkward smile quickly softened.

At this moment, the little girl finally came to her senses.

Noticing Mu Xian's gaze, she hurriedly hugged the book to her arms.

She kept the side with the book title on it hidden in her bosom, making sure Mu Xian didn't see it.

However, this action, like Frey's concern, was superfluous.

Mu Xian looked away and continued walking forward, but unexpectedly, the little girl gritted her teeth and ran up to Mu Xian.

"Is he your older brother...?"

The little girl looked up, holding a book about her size, and met Mu Xian's eyes.

Perhaps to avoid any regrets, the little girl deliberately showed a childlike smile that she hadn't seen in a long time.

"I'm Amy..."

"Big brother, do you remember? You told me the story of the Wild Boar Princess..."

When you realize that it is a dream, it means that you are about to wake up.

This was a very strange dream.

Fischl remembered that she had been exploring the ruins with Oz, but she had inexplicably fainted.

Fischl, who had fainted, had this dream.
