I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

"Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"No way~ After all, having fun is more important than having a conscience."

Li Xiao whispered a soft and gentle reply to Wendy.

"This is what you called the Wind God's Familiar? It doesn't look very impressive."

Watching Wendy throw a tantrum on the ground, Paimon crossed his arms, looking disdainful.

Ying, however, was in no mood to care about Wendy. She looked at Li Xiao and said solemnly, "Li Xiao, can you tell me about my brother now?"

Li Xiao stroked his chin. He actually already had some ideas about Brother Long's story collection, but he needed some time to refine them. Thinking of this, he spoke to Ying.

"Then let's find a place to have a proper talk, but you should still be prepared that things might not go as you expect."

He planned to finalize things on the way, and then give Brother Long a big surprise in the future.

Ying's expression turned somewhat serious when she heard that things might be beyond her imagination. She nodded and said, "Okay, we'll do as you say."

Upon hearing this, Wendy quickly got up from the ground and straightened her crooked hat.

"Wait! I'm going too! I know a great place, I'll take you there!"

So the group of people came to the angel's gift.

Paimon glanced sideways at Wendy.

"So, the 'good place' you were talking about is a tavern? Or is it just that your 'curse' is acting up and you want to drink?"

"Hey, how come?"

Ying ignored all of that and strode inside.

Coincidentally, Diluc was also receiving an angelic gift today, and Ying spoke directly to him.

"Boss, do you have a suitable place here to talk?"

Diluc looked up at the crowd.

Of the three people and their flying pet, he had only seen Wendy and Li Xiao before; he remembered them vividly when they sold the bottles that Anemo had drunk from. But he also recognized Luminous; according to his intelligence, this girl had recently fought off Stormterror alongside Li Xiao.

"There are rooms on the second floor. Would you like me to take you there?"

"Then I'll have to trouble Grandpa Diluc," Wendy said with a grin.

On the way upstairs, Diluc casually asked, "What are you two going to talk about?"

Li Xiao noticed that Diluc seemed a little concerned, so he pointed at Luna and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Luna's brother went missing, and I happened to have some information, so I thought I'd tell her."

"Brother... would it be convenient for me to come along? I'm considered quite wealthy, running small businesses in various countries throughout Teyvat, and I'm fairly well-informed. Perhaps I can help Miss Ying in finding her family."

"This..." Ying hesitated, looking at Li Xiao.

Wendy interjected, "Grandpa Diluc is right, he's very rich. His family owns more than 70% of the liquor business in Mondstadt."

Li Xiao nodded, indicating that Wendy was right.

"Alright, then I'll have to ask Grandpa Diluc for help."

Ying agreed.

Diluc nodded coolly: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise."

As they talked, they arrived at the door of a small room on the second floor.

Pushing open the door, I found only a table and a few benches inside, which looked like a rest area for the tavern staff.

After everyone was seated, Ying couldn't wait to speak.

"Li Xiao, can you talk now?"

"Of course, but you have to be mentally prepared."

Li Xiao's tone was somewhat heavy.

Ying nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he slowly recounted the story he had made up for Brother Long.

"Actually, your brother has become a Nantong."

Main text: Chapter Nine: Empty: For him, I will destroy the world!

"Nantong? What does that mean?"

Ying was a little confused.

Li Xiao almost forgot that there doesn't seem to be a word called Nantong in Teyvat, and Ying has amnesia, so it seems she doesn't remember it either.

"Actually, it's just that your brother has fallen for a man."

"what!"

Ying exclaimed in disbelief. He hadn't expected that Li Xiao had told him to be prepared for this kind of thing!

She simply couldn't imagine her brother, Kong, leaning shyly in another man's arms.

Hey, speaking of which, why do I feel so miserable whenever I think about this?

Yingmei fell into deep thought.

This news not only shocked Ying, but also caused Wendy and Diluc's pupils to tremble violently.

Paimon was the only one who hadn't reacted yet.

"So Ying's brother likes men? Brother... a man!?"

Paimon suddenly felt like he had overheard something he shouldn't have known.

"Impossible! How could my brother like men!"

Ying couldn't believe it. If it were true, she didn't know how to face her brother.

"Ahem, I also think there might be some misunderstanding?"

Wendy was starting to lose her composure. She knew Kong, but she had never heard of such a thing! And based on her understanding of Li Xiao, this was most likely something Li Xiao had made up, just like the rumors about her.

"There's no misunderstanding, he really did fall in love with a man named Daines Reeb."

"Dains Reeb, who is this? Why does my brother like him?"

"Oh! This all started when you and he broke up."

Li Xiao took out the cup and juice that Tongzi had given him from his pocket, poured a glass of juice for everyone present, and then continued to speak.

"After you parted ways with him, he met a travel companion, just like you and Paimon. This travel companion's name is Daines Reeb."

He was a man with beautiful blond hair, just like you and your brother. They traveled together, traversing the seven countries of Teyvat. Their initial goal was also to find Sora's sister, which is you, Luminous.

But as they traveled together, they experienced many hardships and dangers, fought together, laughed together, cried together, ate and slept together, and their feelings for each other deepened without them even realizing it.

Daines Reeb was the first to propose to your brother, but after a struggle, your brother declined, because Sora would eventually leave this world with you. Since no matter how much you love each other, you can't stay together forever, it's better not to be together in the first place.

After being rejected, Dainesreb, somewhat heartbroken, made a request to Sora: he wanted to return to Mondstadt with Sora, the place where their dream began. Your brother agreed.

Upon arriving in Mondstadt, they unexpectedly encountered the avatar of the Anemo Archon. The Archon, seeing the entanglement between the two, offered them a blessing and a bottle of dandelion wine, saying, "When you drink this wine, you will find happiness and fulfillment together."

That night, Sora and Daines Reeb drank the dandelion liqueur together. After drinking it, they could no longer hide their love, confessed their feelings to each other, embraced, and made love that night.

"Wait a minute, this isn't right! How could the Wind God be making an appearance? I don't remember anything like this happening?"

Wendy couldn't hold back any longer, slammed her hand on the table, and stood up.

Li Xiao glanced at him sideways and said with some disdain, "Come on, do you understand the Wind God better than I do?"

"Shut up! I'm really enjoying this!"

Ying cast a disapproving glance at Wendy.

"That's right, that's right! They finally got together, and now it's time for the exciting part!"

Paimon echoed this.

"Ok."

Wendy retreated in frustration, thinking: "Kong, it's not that I didn't want to help you, I really tried, and I don't want to hear any of this." Heh heh~

Li Xiao continued, "After that night, they spent a sweet and happy time together. Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived. Suddenly one day, the country of Dainesreb, Kanria, was destroyed."

“Kanria…” Ying felt somewhat familiar with this name.

Wendy and Diluc's eyes flickered when they heard the name, as if they had thought of something.

"The destruction of Canria not only killed all of Dainesreb's relatives and friends, but also cursed him, causing part of his body to mutate and become an immortal monster."

Of course, your brother didn't dislike him; on the contrary, he thought it was better this way because it would allow Daines Reb to stay with him for longer without worrying about his lifespan.

However, Daines Reeb couldn't stand his appearance and decided to leave Sora. Sora, seeing that he couldn't stop him, decided to forcibly keep him. But he didn't expect that Daines Reeb's strength would increase greatly after his transformation, and he successfully escaped from Sora's grasp. And the two lovers were thus separated.

Having lost Daines Reeb, Sora felt there was nothing left to cherish in this world and decided to destroy it so that he could leave with you.

When Daines Reeb found out, he tried to stop Sora. Thus, the two went from being lovers to enemies.

"Waaaaah, so touching." Paimon was already in tears.

Wendy's lips twitched, unsure of what to say.

"I have a question."

Like a student attending a lecture, Ying raised her hand to signal to Li Xiao.

"You said."

Why does my brother want to destroy the world?

Li Xiao slowly sipped a glass of juice to moisten her throat before answering.

Do you remember what happened when you left this world?

Ying suddenly remembered something. "You mean the white-haired god who stopped us?"
