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

To watch Columbia being amused by Sandoni the cat a little longer, Lu Li lingered a bit longer at this point in time.

Then...

Wait, what? How did you end up talking to my wife about sex?

When Lu Li saw Columbia sneaking into bed while Sandone was asleep, putting real cat ear headbands on her, and then holding her while she slept, he also felt the pull of the Moon Gate and had to return to the Moon Gate.

"I'm so envious..."

Looking at the desolate Moon Gate, Lu Li couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Whom do you envy?

Nibelungen, who was leaning on her shoulder, suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"I envy that bed."

Lu Li answered with a serious expression.

"..."

I'm speechless.

"Keep going, keep going! These are all pictures of little pigeons I haven't seen before. It's just a pity I didn't bring a camera!"

Soon, Lu Li regained his energy and continued jogging forward, carrying the Nibelungen.

Lu Li would occasionally use the "feeding" function to feed Columbia. After all, although they were always inseparable like Ying and Paimon, they would occasionally go out on their own.

So, through repeated "delivery" services, Lu Li was able to see what Colombia looked like when she ate.

She looks like she's enjoying everything she eats, just like a certain cow from the Land of Wolu, who is happy just looking at Lu Li.

However, since Lu Li never eats with outsiders, such as when Ying and Paimon are present, he never discovers the truth about the feeding function.

And time is also rewinding so quickly.

Fontaine, Sumeru, Inazuma, and finally Liyue...

"You've recovered quite well after this journey. Hold out your hand, and I'll teach you how to use the Primal Elemental Power, which is what those people call the Light Elemental Power."

Once again inside the Moon Gate, Nibelungen, who had been silently recovering his strength, flew to Lu Li and made a suggestion.

"I can use the power of the Light Realm... uh, it seems I can't use it in my soul state, but what could I do with it in this state anyway?"

Lu Li subconsciously wanted to demonstrate, but remembering that he was a soul, he awkwardly withdrew his hand and asked in confusion.

"For life within the Moon Gate to influence the outside world, it must have anchor points like those points of light, and the power of the Light Boundary can serve as an anchor point for you and me."

"Once you master the power of the light realm, you'll be able to touch the people or things you see next time you go out."

Nibelungen explained carefully.

This made Lu Li's eyes light up.

Aside from being able to drop off his belongings using the system's "delivery" feature, he could only look at them but not touch them whenever he went out.

He tried to poke Columbia's cheek, but the poke went right through him.

In addition, Lu Li also tried to call the system after returning to the Moon Gate, but there was no response.

So he made a guess: the system that made him deliver food and run errands was actually the system inside Lu Li's body at this time.

Whenever Lu Li used to feed the animals, the system would open an anchor point for him at the Moon Gate, allowing him to deliver takeout...

Shaking his head, Lu Li stopped thinking about the system and instead reached out to receive a ball of multicolored white light from the Nibelungen claw.

White light enveloped his body, and Lu Li felt completely comfortable, as if his soul had become stronger.

"Let's get the hang of it as we go..."

Nibelungen looked utterly dejected as he leaned on Lu Li's shoulder, then lay down and fell asleep.

Lu Li gently stroked its head, then quietly continued forward.

Before long, another point of light appeared.

This time it's... Wuwangpo?

When the eerie surroundings came into view, and with Lu Li, Columbia, and Hu Tao walking towards him, Lu Li immediately understood which time it was.

It was after he and Ying returned from Inazuma five hundred years ago that Hu Tao took him to see Master Hu, who was also Hu Tao's grandfather.

That was also the first time Lu Li used the feeding function.

As Lu Li was thinking this, the three people walked past him and passed right through his body.

As Columbia, who was walking the slowest, passed by, Lu Li subconsciously raised his hand and poked her face.

Soft...warm...I miss that feeling so much...

"Hmm?"

Walking beside Lu Li and behind Hu Tao, Columbia suddenly felt something touch her cheek. She looked around in confusion, but couldn't feel anything with her lunar power.

Beside him, "Lu Li" was still fiddling with the system interface that only he could see.

In their distraction, neither of them noticed when Hu Tao in front of them had stopped.

"Ouch!"

Just as Hu Tao was about to say something, she was bumped and took two steps forward before stopping.

Lu Li, who bumped into the walnut, also poked the feeding dog because he didn't have time to pull his hand back.

[You have a new order from Starving Tomorrow, please check!]

Then, a delicious bowl of chicken and tofu appeared in Lu Li's hands.

Lu Li, knowing this, held it up and immediately handed it to Columbia.

"Hmm?"

Colombia was puzzled by the food that appeared out of nowhere, but after smelling the aroma, she couldn't help but accept the bowl of chicken tofu and taste it.

Thank you for the gifts of nature!

……

Since the anchor point is "feeding", most of what Lu Li sees are heartwarming daily scenes, which gives Lu Li a feeling of being healed.

Time quickly rewinds to the time when Lu Li's ship encountered a shipwreck and sank.

As Lu Li had already learned, the shipwreck was orchestrated by Dotole to eliminate him, and the force that attacked the ship was a large whale that appeared to be a remnant of a demon god.

At that time, Lu Li was powerless to resist, especially since it was on the sea. As the ship was destroyed, Lu Li also fell into the sea.

Just as the remnant soul of the whale was about to swallow him, Lu Li, inside the Moon Gate, immediately raised his hand and gathered the power of the light realm into a one-handed sword.

"The world is in constant flux!"

The next moment, space was cleaved apart, and the remnant soul of the whale was finely chopped into minced meat.

However, due to excessive interference with the past, Lu Li felt the suction force of the Moon Gate suddenly increase.

"This is... a familiar move... how could this be..."

"Looks like everything's alright..."

"The scent of Ajax...?"

Just before Lu Li disappeared, he happened to see a familiar white-haired figure appear nearby.

Back inside the Moon Gate, Lu Li didn't rest as Nibelungen was still dormant. He quickened his pace, eagerly anticipating the next anchor point.

However, to Lu Li's surprise, the next anchor point was not at the winter solstice.

Throughout the winter, he did not leave an anchor point near Columbia...

Perhaps it was because, back then, he was just an ordinary person without a system...?

"Lu Li, let's play hide-and-seek?"

Shenyu Valley, Yilongbu.

Old Master Hu came to Yilongbu to handle funeral business. Little Hu Tao, who wanted to come and play with him, took advantage of her grandfather's inattention and secretly pulled Lu Li out of the back door and hid in the back alley.

There were only a few households in this alley, and it was quiet and deserted at the moment.

"Um."

Xiao Luli looked a bit dull, and nodded blankly.

"Hehe, then come find me. I'll hide around here and won't go far. If you find me, I'll ask Grandpa to buy us candied hawthorns~"

Little Walnut immediately made the decision.

"Okay, shall I count to one hundred?"

"No, no, count to 120. 100 is too short; I haven't hidden yet!"

"All right."

"One...two..."

Little Lu Li squatted down, covered his eyes, and began counting.

Little Walnut, however, did not rush to hide. Instead, she playfully circled around him twice and waved her hand in front of his hand covering his eyes, as if to confirm whether he had been peeking.

Seeing that Xiao Luli was almost at forty, Xiao Hutao finally got to work.

Taking advantage of its small size, Little Walnut squeezed into a small brick house in front of someone else's yard.

That is, a doghouse.

"Sh-!"

Little Walnut wrapped her arms around Big Yellow's neck and grabbed its muzzle with her other hand.

In fact, this family was acquainted with Master Hu, and Little Walnut occasionally came along and became familiar with the big yellow dog.

After Little Walnut hid, Little Lu Li finally counted to one hundred and twenty, stood up, and looked around.

At that moment, his gaze met Lu Li's.

"Who is it...?"

He tilted his head blankly, then instinctively walked towards Lu Li.

"...?!!"

Lu Li subconsciously walked to the side.

"Can he see me?"

"But I don't have that memory... Was it because of the drugs the human traffickers used on me later...?"

Lu Li thought to himself in surprise.

In fact, he clearly has many memories from his childhood, but he has no memory of the time he was abducted and ended up on the streets.

It felt like one second I was eating at the Rebirth Hall and the next I was waking up on the streets of Zhidong.

Xiao Luli's gaze did not follow Luli's movement as he dodged; instead, he continued walking forward blankly.

Until we reached the intersection.

"……go!"

At this moment, Lu Li suddenly realized something and immediately raised the flying sword that had gathered the power of the light realm and threw it towards Xiao Lu Li.

At the corner, two human traffickers suddenly rushed out and pounced on Xiao Luli, who had just reached the intersection.

puff-

The flying sword pierced through one of them instantly and pinned him to the wall, spraying blood onto Xiao Luli.

Seeing this, he stood there, stunned, unsure how to react.

Lu Li wanted to control his flying sword to deal with another human trafficker, but a huge suction force suddenly interrupted him and pulled him back into the Moon Gate.

Another human trafficker was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost knelt down to beg for mercy, but he soon realized that nothing had happened, and Xiao Luli stood there dumbfounded.

Remembering the task assigned from above...

He gritted his teeth, picked up Xiao Luli, and ran away, disappearing into the deserted back alley. On another street, he stuffed him into a box on a carriage and smothered him with a rag soaked in some kind of drug until he passed out.

"Hmm... why is Lu Li hiding now?"

After hiding for a long time without hearing any noise outside, Little Walnut curiously released Big Yellow and crawled out of the doghouse.

"Lu Li...?"

But there was no sign of Xiao Luli outside.
