I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

As she spoke, she reached for the cream-making machine.

hiss~

Li Xiao gasped; the younger brother had become the older brother again.

This afternoon! I'll definitely go this afternoon!

So the two of them spent another morning making cream puffs.

In the afternoon, with the help of Raiden Mei, Li Xiao got ready to leave.

Raiden Mei looked up, gently kissed him, and said with a hint of reluctance:

"Have a safe journey, and remember me."

Li Xiao also gave her a hug.

"Don't worry, how could I possibly forget you, Mei?"

After saying that, he released Raiden Mei, took a step back, and vanished into the wind.

This time, he didn't go to say goodbye to the others in person; he just sent them a message on his phone to let them know that he had left.

Li Xiao didn't know the exact location of the Paradise of the Past, but he had his own methods.

He spent some time listening to the wind for some information.

He quickly determined his direction and headed towards a certain place.

On the rooftop of a tall building, a woman was lying prone, holding a gun.

She had short gray hair, rose-red eyes, a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth, and wore a black and gray bodysuit that hugged her curvaceous figure, with a hooded cape over it.

This person is none other than our little island rapper.

Her burgundy finger was on the trigger, her gaze fixed on a distant entrance, waiting for the target of this mission to appear.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

!!!

Raven's hair stood on end instantly, his pupils contracted, and without hesitation, he pulled out his dagger and swung it behind him.

Missed!

The raven made a quick and accurate judgment in its mind.

Clutching her gun, she rolled over and cautiously looked back at the spot where she had just been lying.

"nobody?!"

She looked around but found nothing.

"Miss Raven, where are you looking?"

Another voice came from behind.

The raven was drenched in sweat.

When? Why didn't I notice at all?

Suddenly, she relaxed her entire body and said in a dejected tone:

"Okay, I surrender."

As she spoke, she slowly turned around.

As she turned around, she seemed to trip over her own feet, lost her balance, and fell backward.

But as she fell, she twisted her waist and quickly turned the gun towards Li Xiao.

"Successful!"

"Oh!"

The raven confidently lay down on the ground, but after a while, no sound of its body falling to the ground came.

She looked up and then her face showed an expression of disbelief.

The bullet I fired was stuck in mid-air by a thin blue membrane!

This sniper rifle can even penetrate tank armor, how is that possible!

"Oh my, Miss Raven is so hospitable, giving me such a big gift as soon as you arrive."

Li Xiao pinched the bullet in front of him, looked at it in his hand, and then casually tossed it away.

The raven threw its gun far away and lay sprawled on the ground.

"I really surrender this time! Please let me go!"

How could she struggle against such a monster?

"Don't be so nervous. I won't do anything to you. Get up, Miss Raven."

"Huh? You're not ***'s bodyguard?"

"Who is that? I just came to see you about something."

"Whoo~"

Raven breathed a sigh of relief. She had just thought she had been discovered by the target's bodyguards and almost thought she was going to die.

She sat up abruptly and looked at Li Xiao.

"Okay, what do you want me to do? As long as the payment is right."

"I wish to visit the Land of the Dead. Would Miss Raven be so kind as to show me the way?"

Upon hearing the words "Paradise of the Past," the raven frowned and asked in return:

"How did you know that name?"

"Never mind how I know, just tell me if you can take me there."

"I can't make that decision myself; I need to consult with my superiors."

"No problem, please go ahead."

Li Xiao thought that if he really traveled back to the previous civilization in the future, the gray snake would definitely recognize him, so it wouldn't stop him from going to the Land of Eternal Bliss.

Raven didn't hide anything from Li Xiao and directly started contacting Gray Serpent. After all, he even knew about Paradise of the Past, so he probably knew a lot about World Serpent as well.

Drip... drip... drip...

The call was connected, and a synthesized male voice came through.

"Sciora? What do you want with me?"

“Someone wants to enter the Pure Land of the Afterlife, but I’m unsure what to do, so I’m asking for your advice.”

"who is it?"

Raven pointed her phone camera at Li Xiao, knowing that Gray Snake must have taken over her phone by now.

Gray Snake remained silent for a long time, seemingly confirming something, but soon he spoke again, this time with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

"...Lord Akatsuki?"

Wow~ It seems the gray snake really does recognize me.

When the raven heard the gray snake call him "sir," it looked at Li Xiao with some surprise and wondered if he was also an old relic from a previous civilization.

“You…” Gray Snake’s voice seemed a little hesitant.

"You've actually returned? Should we inform the Lord and the others?"

"No need, I will go see them myself."

“In that case, I’ll have Siola take you there.”

Li Xiao looked at Raven, "That's what he said."

"Let's go then."

The raven decisively abandoned the mission.

"By the way, Lord Xiao."

The gray snake suddenly called out to Li Xiao.

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

"Onii-chan, Daisiki!"

Gray Snake suddenly said something in a very sweet voice that shocked both Li Xiao and Raven.

"What are you doing! Are you having an attack?"

"It seems you really are Lord Akatsuki. I apologize, perhaps you've forgotten, but this was your instruction to verify your identity."

The gray snake's words were then spoken in a male voice again.

Li Xiao pressed his temples, somewhat speechless.

Will my future self be this twisted? To actually let Grey Snake use that kind of voice to disgust me?

To be honest, the synthesized female voice was actually quite pleasant to listen to, but the thought that it was Gray Snake who said it made Li Xiao feel nauseous.

"From now on, don't use that kind of voice anymore, just use a male voice."

"Ok."

The gray snake readily accepted good advice.

Raven only spoke up to complain after Gray Snake hung up the phone.

"So you actually like this kind of consonant sound?"

"Who likes it? Don't talk nonsense!"

The raven gave him a comical grin and glanced at him sideways.
