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

The girl memorized the lullaby, and although she didn't know where the singing came from, it soon became a duet among the three of them.

After the chorus ended, the priest, the Son of Frost Moon, who had been silently recording from the sidelines, couldn't help but respectfully step forward to welcome the Goddess of the New Moon.

Seeing this, Lu Li also felt the suction force of the Moon Gate again.

Lu Li gently poked Columbia's cheek before submitting to the suction and returning to the Moon Gate.

……

Nordkalai.

Ying and Lauma infiltrate the Lunar Force Experiment Design Bureau together, attempting to retrieve the sacred relic of the Frost Moon Child, the Lunar Essence.

It turned out that the Moon Essence was actually stolen by one of the Frost Moon Child's own people because she couldn't stand the current state of the Frost Moon Child and wanted to leave.

Finally, she cut off her own horns in front of Lauma.

However, she also told Ying and the others that the Moon Essence was in the hands of [Puppet] Sandone.

"It turns out to be a few uninvited guests. I thought they were some treasure-stealing weasels who had sneaked in from somewhere and made a ruckus, turning the Lunar Torque Experiment Design Bureau upside down."

Just as Ying and the others were about to go find Sandone, she had already surrounded them with a giant robot and a group of soldiers from the Fools' Special Forces.

"Oh no! We've really run into the Enforcer this time!"

Beside Ying, a light-yellow-haired girl wearing goggles and a metal prosthetic arm, who was responsible for leading them in, covered her face in fear.

"puppet……"

Lauma recognized Sandone because she had been frequently warning the Son of Frostmoon to hand over "Kutar" recently.

"You're the Fatui Enforcer, aren't you? Hand over the sacred artifact belonging to the Child of Frostmoon!"

This was Paimon's first time seeing a puppet, but she wasn't afraid at all.

"Huh? You mean the stuff that horned traitor sent?"

"Ha... I don't usually like spoils that are so easily obtained, but seeing you all fighting tooth and nail for them makes me laugh."

When Paimon made his request, Sandonne simply crossed his arms and sneered.

"...I'm not in the mood to warn you today."

The conflict between the Frostmoon Children and the Fools continued, and after witnessing her people cut off their horns and break away from the Frostmoon Children, Lauma rarely lost her temper.

"Oh dear, that's terrifying."

"If I had a 'shaking' function, I don't know how many screws would have fallen off by now."

"You guys don't really think you can beat me, do you?"

Sandoni scoffed.

"You'll know once you try it."

Ying immediately drew her weapon and stood in front of Paimon and Yakoda.

It's just the Executor of the Fools, it's not like we haven't fought him before.

In the eyes of the present-day Yingyan, [Puppet] is merely the seventh seat of the Fools, nothing to fear.

"Wow, you guys are all so brave! That's a Fatui Enforcer!"

"Oh no, oh no, Sister Nai, please pray we get back safely...!"

Seeing Lauma and Ying's reactions, Yakoda clasped her hands together in prayer.

"Ah, isn't this the famous adventurer, the traveler?"

"It's a pity that, as a descendant, he couldn't even save his own friends."

Sandonne frowned upon seeing Ying's behavior and deliberately mocked her.

"...?"

Ying's heart tightened, and she immediately knew who Sandoni was referring to.

But Ying couldn't help feeling a little angry at being mocked for something like this.

"Oh? You can stay calm about this? Let me remind you of something else."

"The Adventurers' Guild ceasing to distribute Primogems as rewards was an order I gave."

Seeing that Ying was not provoked, Sandonne added another sentence.

"?!"

Upon hearing this, Ying's face visibly flushed red.

"You...you've already chosen the path to your death!"

Ying gritted her teeth and gripped the sword tightly, flames rising from her body.

She had also played bondage games with Lu Li.

That is, it was hit by the Blue Silver Entanglement.

"Is this woman really that fierce?!"

"But it looks like we're really going to have to fight the Enforcers...! We're doomed, we're doomed...!"

In Yakoda's opinion, the Fools' Enforcers were more terrifying.

It is said that no one has ever seen the true face of the First Seat. The Third Seat is ruthless in killing, yet his eyes never dry. The Second Seat is even more so; he can stop a child from crying at night.

In Fort Winterhold, when parents scare their children, saying "If you don't go to sleep, Uncle Winterfell will come and get you" is far less frightening than saying "If you don't go to sleep, the Doctor will come and get you."

"Ah, that's right, Pronia, let...?!"

Seeing Ying's reaction, Sandonne was very satisfied. Just as he was about to turn around and give some instructions, Ying rushed up like a meteor, the sword in her hand burning fiercely with flames.

"..."

I haven't even settled accounts with you regarding Lu Li yet, and you actually...

When he saw the flames of fire getting close and it seemed he couldn't escape, this thought popped into Sandonne's mind.

Bang-!

A fierce fire erupted, and just as Sandonne was about to retaliate, Ying grabbed her hand and pulled her backward.

In the firelight, the gigantic Wildfire Hunter let out a roar, scattering the flames and the dust that rose in the air.

"Wild Hunt? When...?"

After being pulled to a safe area by Ying, Sandonne noticed that the Wild Hunt had infiltrated the vicinity at some point, and the Fools Special Forces soldiers he had brought had been silently taken down.

At this moment, the black mist gradually thickened, enveloping Ying and the others completely.

In the black mist, Ying saw her brother just like that night.

However, she had already determined that it wasn't him, but merely the Wild Hunt in disguise...

Why was she so sure? Because she called and asked, and Kong himself said it wasn't him.

In the end, with Lauma's help, Luminous defeated the Wild Hunt.

Although Sandone, who had also escaped, still didn't look too friendly, she still took the Moon Essence from Pronia's body and returned it to Ying and the others.

"Huh? You just... gave it to us like that?"

Paimon, who had previously thought a battle was inevitable, scratched his head.

"Anyway, it wasn't me who ordered the search for this thing."

"Whoever wants it can go and take it themselves! I'm not taking this bad luck stuff..."

Sandonne said irritably.

Although she frequently puts pressure on the Frostmoon Children, her only goal is to get them to hand over Kutar; she is not the executor who wants the Moon Marrow.

However, it was precisely because the other executive officer had been hiding behind the scenes and had not shown himself that the Frostmoon Child mistakenly thought that Sandone wanted the Moon Essence, so he stole it and gave it to her, and she had no choice but to keep it for the time being.

Now that the rightful owner is coming to demand it back, we'll just return it. Anyway, let the professor go and snatch it himself if he's so capable.

After doing all this, Sandone gave them the order to leave, and Ying and Lauma had no choice but to leave the Lunar Force Experiment Design Bureau with the Lunar Marrow.

……

"Charge towards the Battle of Burial Fire!"

After returning to the Moon Gate, Lu Li had no more attachments to history, so his goal was to reach the end of the Moon Gate.

"Sigh, I just saw the golden thread. The birth of the youngest daughter was indeed arranged by that plunderer..."

As Lu Li quickened his pace, Nibelungen sighed on Lu Li's shoulder.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Lu Li slowed his pace again, puzzled.

"While I was not returning, the raiders occupied Teyvat, and from the Year of the Dove Carrying a Branch to the Year of the Fire, they never rejected the March from beyond the heavens."

"Why did you specifically throw Frost Moon out of the sky after defeating me? It clearly stole it again."

"But when I saw the golden threads mixed in with the moonlight, I understood. It wanted a new moon goddess to be born on the earth as a tool to lure those who might come in the future, so that they would no longer think of leaving Teyvat."

"It's a honey trap, you get it?"

Nibelungen sighed and explained.

Although there's nothing inherently wrong with it, it's still a sad fact that one's youngest daughter's fate has been predetermined since birth.

"I see……"

"As expected of my little pigeon, she's amazing at everything she does. Her first attempt at using her beauty to seduce him was such a success!"

Lu Li suddenly realized what was happening, clenched his right fist and punched it into his left palm, then said with a proud look on his face.

"...?"

"As expected of my youngest daughter, she's truly amazing..."

He tilted his head at first, but seeing Lu Li's smug and proud look, Nibelungen nodded in agreement after a moment.
