Genshin Impact, the spear remains.

Since Keli didn't say where to go next, Bai Qiyun could only take her for a stroll around the city.

However, one advantage of Spark Knight is that even if she's slacking off, no one says anything to her.

Firstly, Klee is a child, and everyone likes her. Secondly, she has a good older brother, Abel, who is busy helping the Knights of Faith, which can be considered as making up for the favors owed because of Klee.

It's all because Alice left her daughter here and didn't really care about her back then, so Abedo has to take the blame in the end.

He probably understood this principle himself, which is why he was exceptionally serious when teaching alchemy to the Knights. This is why the Knights' alchemy skills developed so rapidly.

Bai Qiyun led Keli to a spot near the city gate to sit down, where they could vaguely see the wind god statue in the distance.

"Ah, it's Miss Flora."

A little girl in a floral dress ran past them. Klee, with her sharp eyes, immediately recognized the person who had just passed by.

"Oh? That little kid?"

Flora, whom Keli addressed as "Miss," was, in Bai Qiyun's eyes, just a child.

He wasn't too surprised that Klee knew children, but this way of addressing them... wasn't there something wrong with it?

"child?"

Upon hearing Bai Qiyun's question, Keli raised her somewhat confused face, and her originally upright ears drooped down.

"Miss Flora is a mature woman."

"A...mature woman?"

Bai Qiyun quickly checked the direction the little girl had run in, then pointed to the little girl who was still standing in front of the Adventurers' Guild counter talking to Catherine.

"Isn't that Flora you mentioned?"

"Yes, it's Miss Flora."

After receiving Keli's affirmation again, Bai Qiyun felt it was somewhat unrealistic.

No matter what you look at, how could someone of that height and appearance be an adult woman?

"Hiss~"

He gasped, and the boy fell into deep self-doubt.

The leaves on the trees swayed gently in the breeze, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

After thinking for a long time, Bai Qiyun still couldn't figure it out and could only attribute it to the customs and culture of Mondstadt.

I'll leave that for me to figure out in the future.

After sitting with Bai Qiyun for a while, Keli noticed that her older brother didn't seem unhappy, so she mustered up her courage and made a suggestion.

"Hey big brother, how about we go out of town for a stroll?"

Klee was so nervous that she secretly rubbed her hands together. She knew that the attitude of the other party was basically determined on the first request. If Bai Qiyun did not agree this time, she would probably have to stay in Mondstadt for the next few days.

It's such a waste to only be able to wander around the city when we finally get a chance to get out and relax.

"Huh? Leaving the city?"

Bai Qiyun hadn't initially considered leaving the city as an option.

Because he was, after all, from Liyue, he wasn't very familiar with the area outside Mondstadt. Coupled with his previous experience with Bennett, he developed a strange aversion to the outside world.

However, he was quite relieved about Klee's safety, because as long as you didn't go too far outside Mondstadt, such as the Windrise area he went to last time, there shouldn't be any danger.

Moreover, a life star has already been lit on the bright fire-attribute eye that hangs on the back of Klee's backpack.

In other words, from a certain perspective, this little guy is a cut above Bennett in terms of fighting ability.

As long as he doesn't encounter the same monster that appeared last time, Bai Qiyun is confident that he can escape from the clutches of even another Abyss Mage.

"Hmm...it's not impossible."

"Huh?"

Klee was a little surprised that her long-cherished wish had come true so easily.

In her opinion, the possibility of being rejected was much greater.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Qiyun was somewhat confused as he looked at Keli's open mouth in surprise.

Was there something wrong with what I just said?

"No, no, it's nothing, hehe."

Klee looked like a child who had just stolen some candy, her face beaming with joy, her once bright and sparkling eyes now narrowed into slits.

Although he felt a little strange about the little girl's unusual tone, Bai Qiyun still took Keli's hand and walked out of the city.

------------

After passing the dandelion meadow in front of Mondstadt's gates and Timmy scattering wheat for pigeons on the bridge, Bai Qiyun followed the bouncy Klee as she walked away into the distance.

"Hey, big brother, do you want to go to Starfall Lake?"

Having not fished for a few days, Klee was itching to use her bombs again, but since she had just been released from solitary confinement, she didn't bring many with her and had to use them sparingly.

After weighing the backpack behind her, Klee had a rough idea of ​​what to expect.

After crossing the moat of Mondstadt, a vast grassland stretched out before us, and in the distance, we could faintly see the great tree of Windrise.

"Starfall Lake?"

Walking on the lush green grass, Bai Qiyun took out a map and looked up the location.

He seemed to have seen this place name on the map before when he was taking the entrance exam for the Adventurers' Guild.

Open the map and walk to the left along the main road in front of Mondstadt. After passing through Whispering Woods, continue along this road and you will see Starfall Lake.

Last time, when I turned back from Fengqidi to Wangfengshandi, I took the route closer to Guojiu Lake, so I didn't get a chance to see Xingluo Lake along the way.

I heard that they also produce 'golden sea bass' there, so how could chef Bai Qiyun let this opportunity pass by?

Bai Qiyun measured the distance on the map and figured it would take about a day to make the round trip, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"But is there anything interesting about Starfall Lake? Why are you so eager to go?"

While chatting with Keli, Bai Qiyun checked the prototypes he had rushed to make yesterday. Although the quantity was small, it should be enough to protect himself.

"Ah... well, the fish from Xingluo Lake are delicious!"

Klee had no intention of keeping secrets from an outsider to the Knights of Favonius, or rather, she only told half the truth.

It's true that the fish was delicious, and it's also true that frying fish was enjoyable.

As we all know, telling half the truth isn't lying, so Klee is still an honest and good girl.

Eh hey!

"Oh, really?"

Looking at the little guy's shifty eyes, Bai Qiyun knew perfectly well that there was something fishy going on.

But what does that have to do with him? Anyway, he also wants to see Xingluo Lake.

He glanced at Claire, then looked into the distance.

It takes two or three hours to get from Mondstadt to Starfall Lake. Thanks to the Knights of Favonius having just cleared the area around Mondstadt, the two arrived at Starfall Lake without encountering any obstacles along the way.

The clear lake water shimmered before them, and with a gentle breeze, the surface of the water shattered like broken mirrors.

There is a small island in the lake, and on it is a statue of the Seven Gods.

The statue, resembling a young boy, stands silently in the lake, watching over this land like a guardian deity.

Over the past thousand years, how many people have prayed to it here, and how many have been answered by the gods, remains unknown.

In the clear lake water, many fish could be seen swimming, but Bai Qiyun looked around and did not find the so-called golden bass.

Maybe it's the wrong season?

Well, since we're already here, it wouldn't be good to go back empty-handed, so I'll just grab a few at random.

The bitter pufferfish over there, I've decided on you.

The light green pufferfish swam around in the water, completely unaware of the impending danger, and continued to swim forward in a line with the golden-red fake dragon in front of it.

After stretching his shoulders slightly, Bai Qiyun decided to use the oldest method to catch the fish.

What? You're asking me what the oldest method is? Hehe, well, that's naturally—

"Bouncing Bomb!"

The fiery red toy bomb was thrown from the little girl's hand, carrying a trace of fire elemental power for detonation, and fell into Starfall Lake.

One second passed, then two seconds passed.

"Bang!"

A violent wave of water exploded directly in front of Bai Qiyun. His decision to put his backpack further away in preparation for catching fish was definitely the right one; otherwise, it would have been soaked if it were so close.

The backpack escaped the clutches, but Bai Qiyun was not spared.

Although Klee didn't throw the bomb at him, the splash from the bomb detonating in the water still soaked him completely.

Bai Qiyun's once neat hair was suddenly soaked by the torrential rain, reminding him of the chicken he had plucked in the kitchen.

He turned around and stared at Claire, who was scratching her head and turning her face away, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Now he finally understood why a child with divine eyes still needed someone to look after him.

The purpose of affection isn't to care for this little one, but to keep an eye on her so she doesn't hurt others.

Unfortunately, he was the first one to get infected.
