The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Ember put Mora into the leather pouch at his waist, said goodbye to Ryota, and then ran towards the Adventurers' Guild.

"Towards the stars and the abyss!" Ember blurted out the slogan before Catherine could.

"Haha, it seems Mr. Ember is quite satisfied with his adventure." Catherine didn't seem to mind that her lines had been stolen and continued chatting with Ember.

"I've completed the previous A-level commission!" Ember waved his hand and slammed the commission form onto the Adventurers' Guild's counter.

Catherine rarely showed a look of surprise. The commission wasn't dangerous, but it was mainly troublesome.

Under the current isolationist policy, it was extremely difficult for foreigners to enter Inazuma, let alone deliver a message into the heart of the country.

"Yes, Mr. Ember did a wonderful job." Catherine carefully reviewed the commission form, and after confirming that everything was correct, she marked it with a checkmark in the file, indicating that the commission was completed.

"That's good." Yu Jin nodded in satisfaction. The number and level of completed commissions were linked to the adventurer's title.

Of course, this isn't absolute. Reaching places no one has ever been before can still earn one the title of legendary adventurer from the Adventurers' Guild.

"Goodbye, Miss Catherine. Remember to save any high-level commissions for me in the future." Yu Jin felt that he had finished his business, so he turned around and went home.

"Definitely." Catherine smiled as she watched Ember leave, lost in thought.

Walking through the familiar streets, Yu Jin couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. Because he was wanted by the authorities, he hadn't been able to enter many towns.

Now that I'm back in Mondstadt, I can finally relax.

"Hmph hmph hmph~" As the familiar little house got closer and closer, Yu Jin happily hummed a little tune.

But he soon stopped humming, because he saw that the lock on the wooden door of his hut had been opened.

"A thief?" Yu Jin was surprised. Who would steal his things for no reason? Since Cole and Galuro left, his house only had a bed, a table, and a chair left.

The stolen goods probably wouldn't even be enough for the thief to have a meal. That being said, however, Ember was genuinely unfazed by the fact that a thief had broken into his house.

Because the people he'd met were usually deadly. Before coming to this world, thieves were considered high-class figures by Ember.

With that thought in mind, Ember pushed open the wooden door, and then his shouts came from inside the hut.

"Oh my god! A woman has broken into a private residence!!!"

Thanks to the users who voted for me: He Kele de Kuoluo, Jing Bingqing, and Gu Xue Cangqiong. I'll be adding an extra chapter today!

There are so many people reading tonight, I didn't even have time to browse my phone before I got up to write.

Chapter 46 New Sandbags Are on the Way

2023-08-28

"Quiet down!" The woman froze completely when she heard Ember shout.

"Crack!" Yu Jin punched, shattering the ice on his head, and then asked, "Big sister, what's wrong? Hurry up and make the third cut."

"I didn't come here to fight!" The woman clenched her fists. If she weren't outmatched by Ember, she would have taught him a lesson long ago.

Then she looked at the embers squatting on the ground—there was nothing she could do; she had taken the only chair herself.

"Are you that poor? Is your house really just a house with nothing else?" The woman looked around at the empty house of Ember and thought it was a bit impossible.

With Ember being so strong, how could he possibly lack Mora?

"Who said I'm poor!" Yu Jin jumped up and down in anger, then opened the leather pouch at his waist and shouted at the woman, "Look! 30 Mora!"

"Tch—this little bit of money isn't even as much as my meal." The woman crossed her legs and said with a hint of sarcasm.

Ember put away his purse and stood up to look at the woman. He was already thinking about how to portray his earlier taunt as the third blow.

"What are you doing?" The woman asked warily as she saw Ember stand up from the ground.

"It's nothing, you just exposed yourself a little." Yu Jin looked down at the woman sitting on the bench and said quietly.

"You..." The woman was so angry that she couldn't speak. She thought Yu Jin was out of his mind.

However, she quickly lost her temper. There were plenty of mentally unstable people in the Fatui, and she had no right to criticize Ember.

"Alright, let's get down to business." The woman waved her hand, not wanting to chat or joke with Yu Jin anymore.

"Oh ho, we actually have something serious to discuss? That's quite unusual." Yu Jin chuckled immediately, feeling that he had nothing to say to the Fools.

"Phew—" The woman closed her eyes and patted her chest. She vowed that after this, she would never speak another word to Yu Jin!

After a long while, the lady finally opened her eyes and said through gritted teeth to Yu Jin, "The servant is coming. He's probably looking for you. Be careful."

"Servant?" Yu Jin stroked his chin, thinking for a moment, then touched his hands together, suddenly realizing, "Servant? I know! It's someone who's two seats below you?"

The woman clenched her fists again after she had just relaxed. What did she mean by being two seats lower than her? It made it sound like she was weak.

"Why did she come looking for me? What did I do to offend her?" Yu Jin thought for a moment. It seemed that his only connection with the servant was that he knew the servant existed.

"Tina, your methods are very clever; you actually managed to turn someone like her into that kind of person."

The woman looked at the embers; she knew where Tina had served before. Although the Fatui didn't usually do anything good, the Doctor's place was definitely the dirtiest part of the Fatui, and many members avoided it like the plague.

The "captain" was particularly prone to causing trouble for the doctor.

Those who can work under a PhD either have some special reason or are mentally abnormal.

“Tina is an orphan of the House of Hearthstone, and the founder of the House of Hearthstone was a servant. Do you understand?” the woman said slowly.

Yu Jin nodded upon hearing this. "I understand. You should have said so earlier. So it's Mom visiting her wayward child. I'll treat her well!"

After saying that, Ember patted the lady's breastplate, making a loud "bang bang bang!" sound, which, combined with Ember's irritating expression, made him look like he wanted to punch her.

The woman nearly suffered a heart attack.

Her face contorted with rage as she stood up and glared at Ember, saying, "Are you really stupid or just pretending? That servant is a madman!"

Ember stopped making noise and said with lingering satisfaction, "That's it? I didn't even use my full strength."

He now finds it really fun to annoy people, especially impatient people like Ms.

"Crunch—" came from the woman's mouth; she was so angry that she felt like she was going to grind her molars to powder.

Yu Jin felt that if he continued to get angry, someone might die in his little house, so he gave up his pranks and said:

"You said the servant is crazy, what's going on?"

The lady was, after all, an executive, and she quickly calmed herself down. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I don't have much interaction with the servants; I only know a little about them."

"She has a strong desire to control the children of the Hearth Wall House. Of course, this control is intellectual."

"If the Fools from the House of Hearthstone die in the course of their mission, she will show no pity; but if any of them want to break free from the Fools and her control, she will travel a great distance to find them."

The woman said slowly, of course she knew more than that, but she felt that it would be useless for Yu Jin to know the rest.

"Her seat is lower than yours, right?" Yu Jin looked at the woman.

“Of course.” The woman nodded, then said, “Don’t think you can relax just because her seat is lower than mine.”

"Her strength is far more than that; her seat is just a means for her to conceal her true abilities."

The lady knew a little about the servant's thoughts, but what she knew, the other executives of the Fools also knew.

The servant and the "rooster" had been fighting for a long time, and the rooster even helped a "young master" to fight the servant.

"Do you think my strength is only what you've seen?" Yu Jin smiled, crossed his arms, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

The woman suddenly felt as if she were surrounded by an endless deep sea, with immense pressure coming from all directions, making it hard for her to breathe.

Servants? Just walking punching bags.

"Why did you remind me?" Yu Jin only held on for a short while before relaxing.

Please, pretending to be cool is tiring too.

“Ha…, phew—” The woman gasped for breath as if she had been rescued from drowning. She glanced at Ember warily and said, “You haven’t told me about my past yet.”

Ever since that dream, the question of who she was in the past has been lingering in her mind.

Only "The Clown" and Ember know the answer to this question. However, even she doesn't know where "The Clown," as the chief, is.

Therefore, the only breakthrough point is the embers.

"Hehe, I don't understand. If you care so much, why did you forget about it in the first place?" Yu Jin said with a smile, pointing out what the lady cared about.

The woman suddenly sprang to her feet, staring intently at Ember. But quickly, she walked past Ember and headed towards the door.

She's said everything she needed to say; now it's up to Yu Jin to decide how to handle it.

"You can look up Rustam the wolf cub."

"Also, work on your resilience. Who knows, a fire even more intense than the flames in your heart might ignite someday. And when that happens, it will be very difficult."

Yu Jin sat in the chair and gave instructions to the woman's back.

The woman's figure paused for a moment, then disappeared from Yu Jin's sight.

“Servant? Madman? Hehehe!” Ember watched the lady’s retreating figure and bit his finger.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! It's so fishy!"

……

As the new day dawned, Ember rose from his bed, which consisted of only wooden planks. He had wanted to sleep again ever since he last fell asleep, but hadn't been able to.

Stepping out of the room, Ember arrived at the Adventurers' Guild; the pursuit of making money couldn't stop!

Yu Jin casually accepted a job doing odd jobs in Qingquan Town and ran out of the city gate. As for why he wanted to go to Qingquan Town?

Of course, we should ask if there are any other pure water spirits! His life skills all depend on these elemental beings.

And take a look at the spring spirit he blessed.

However, the journey was not as smooth as before. If the journey from Mondstadt to Springvale was only once a monster at most,

So now Ember has encountered it at least three times!

"Phew!" After pulling his hand out of the slime's body, Ember wondered why there were so many monsters.

"The Knights of Favonius have become lax?" Ember was a little confused. Or perhaps it was the monsters' mating season?

Why are the Hilichurls and Slimes all yelling like they've been injected with adrenaline?

Even so, Yu Jin's steps toward Qingquan Town were not stopped.

He overcame numerous obstacles along the way, taking much longer than usual, before finally arriving at Qingquan Town.

Then he saw an extremely shocking scene.
