Cross through Teyvat, and you'll become stronger by taking the hits!

After a long while, Kong slowly opened his eyes on the bed.

Looking at the Liyue-style decorations around her, Kong was confused for a moment before sitting up from the bed.

"Brother, you're awake..."

Ying, who was feeling sleepy while sitting by the bedside, immediately perked up and grabbed the empty hand.

It was both the joy of reunion and the desire to prevent him from escaping.

"Ying...where am I?"

Feeling the warmth from Ying's hand, Kong asked with some confusion.

In his last memory, he was hit by a Mora, then the world spun around him, and he couldn't remember anything after that.

This is unbelievable. To knock him out with just one Mora? Is that guy Morax or something?

"This is Liyue Harbor..."

Ying explained truthfully to Kong.

Liyue Harbor...

Although he already had a guess in his mind, he still felt somewhat complicated after Ying confirmed it.

The Abyss Order has always been avoiding the Sky Isles' sight, and naturally, it has never entered the seven cities controlled by the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World.

After all, things are alright in the wild, but the city is basically full of the gods' spies.

As a result, despite being the leader of the Abyss Order, he was the first one to be arrested.

"Brother, please don't go."

Noticing Kong's complicated expression, Ying immediately grabbed his hand and pleaded.

Looking into his sister's eyes, if it were in the past, Sora would never have refused any of her requests, but now...

"I'm sorry, Ying..."

"Let me tell you a story about my experiences in Teyvat."

Seeing Ying's expression, Kong knew that it wouldn't be easy for him to leave, so he had no choice but to make this suggestion.

Ying hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Once upon a time, there was a glorious kingdom..."

……

Lu Li didn't actually have much of a thought about being an enemy of the Abyss Cult.

What truly made him want to leave the space empty was Ying's reaction.

After wandering in a strange world for a long time, she finally got a clue about her brother, but he refused to tell her anything and just left.

The travelers at that time were actually on the verge of a mental breakdown.

That's why Lu Li had the idea of ​​keeping him, but he didn't expect the Abyss Order to react so strongly.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense, since rebelling against their master was their hope for restoring their kingdom.

"Hmm... the situation is a bit special. Although these abyssal forces have taken root in your body, they have strangely settled down and have not caused significant erosion."

"However, the very existence of the abyss's power is a threat, so it's best to find a way to eliminate it as soon as possible."

After Lu Li and Columbia finished embracing, Zhong Li and Xiao approached. After checking Lu Li's physical condition, Zhong Li explained and gave a reminder.

"Yeah, that's what I think too. I'll give it a try."

Lu Li responded. As a transmigrator, he was naturally aware of the dangers of the abyss and was still shaken by the previous hallucination.

So, Lu Li walked to the side, raised his hands, and used the principle of regression again.

A dazzling golden light emerged from his body. Although there were no obvious changes on the surface, Lu Li could clearly feel that his body had relaxed a lot.

The heavy feeling in his limbs after overexerting himself disappeared instantly.

Not only him, but Columbia, who was standing next to him, was also bathed in the golden light. She had previously expended a lot of energy to awaken Lu Li, but now that feeling of exhaustion and weakness had disappeared.

She had just awakened Lu Li, so she could be considered a "teammate" fighting against the power of the abyss alongside him.

"Your Majesty, the ice in the river..."

After confirming that Lu Li was not in danger, Xiao then looked at the ice blocks in the Biyue River.

Lu Li's sword also split the river, and the separated part formed pitch-black ice, which forcibly blocked the flow of water.

Although the ice is only about ten centimeters higher than the water surface, it will obviously pose some hidden dangers if it is not dealt with.

"Well, then it's up to you."

Zhong Li nodded slightly.

"Yes."

Xiao responded and turned to the riverbank, taking out a long, bluish-green spear.

xin——!

Using his spear and his spear skills, Xiao instantly pierced through the solid ice in the water.

However, to destroy it, it would have to be repeated several times, otherwise it would only leave some holes.

……

After confirming that he no longer possessed the power of the abyss and would not affect his surroundings, Lu Li felt relieved and returned to Liyue Harbor with Columbia.

The first thing I did when I got home was to check on Ying, since Sora was still with her.

"..."

However, when Ying saw Lu Li, she looked embarrassed and fidgeted, clutching her clothes.

"What's wrong, traveler? Did your brother run away?"

Seeing Ying's reaction, Lu Li couldn't help but confirm.

"Uh-huh……"

Ying responded apologetically.

But only she knew in her heart that her current predicament was not entirely because she had failed to keep Kong, but also because before leaving, Kong had grabbed her shoulders with a serious expression and repeatedly asked her if she was really pregnant and what that bastard named Lu Li had done to her!

"Sigh...that's such a pity. We finally managed to catch your brother, and we were hoping you two could reunite."

Hearing this, Lu Li felt somewhat helpless. He guessed that Ying was reluctant to fight in the air, or that she had helped him untie the ropes, which was why the person escaped.

"But my brother promised me that as long as I use this to contact him, he will come back to see me."

Upon hearing Lu Li's words, Ying quickly took out a stone containing the power of the abyss.

Otherwise, she would never have agreed to let her brother leave.

"There's such a thing?"

Lu Li looked curiously at the black stone in Ying's hand.

It looks somewhat similar to the Abyss Gate that appears in Nata, but it is only about the size of the Eye of God.

Lu Li reached out and curiously poked it, and the next moment a purple light shone on the black stone.

"Ying, what's wrong?"

A somewhat helpless voice came from inside.

I just left, why is he contacting me already? Is he trying to persuade me to go back?

"Ahem, your sister is in my hands now. If you know what's good for you, transfer 100 million Mora to my Northern Bank account, or I'll kill her."

Lu Li coughed lightly, then deliberately lowered his voice and leaned closer.

null:"……"

The purple light on the stone disappeared the next moment.

"It seems your brother hung up on me."

Looking at the stone that had dimmed, Lu Li blinked.

"Yes...please don't make jokes like that again, I don't know how I'll face people now..."

Ying's fist hardened again, but she refrained from striking.

"Sigh... Anyway, at least you two siblings have managed to get in touch, so my efforts weren't in vain."

Noticing that Ying had clenched her other fist, Lu Li looked away from the stone, raised his hand and patted her shoulder, saying with a look of relief.

"By the way, I need to go back to Mondstadt in the next couple of days. Traveler, could you use the teleportation point to send us there? I also want to take Little Pigeon and Rosne with me."

Then, Lu Li immediately changed the subject.

"Back to Mondstadt? What would you do in Mondstadt?"

Ying put away the black stone in her hand, then looked at Lu Li with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, remember the statue in that ruin? That's the statue of the wind god. The Church of the West Wind and the Knights will definitely want to take it back."

"Hey! I happen to have a photo here. Selling this information to them will definitely get me a lot of Mora!"

As he spoke, Lu Li took out his camera and the photos it had taken.

The photo shows that unclean, reversed idol.

In the original storyline, this statue was simply abandoned there, and neither Luminous nor Daines Reibu, who intended to destroy it, did so.

Since that's the case, I might as well do what I want and give it to the Church of the West Wind in exchange for Mora. That way, I won't have lost out on this trip.

In addition, Lu Li also wanted to introduce Ruo'e to Dvalin during his return to Mondstadt.

The two dragons must have a lot in common.
