Indeed, when Li Xuan was still a mortal, he was already a hardcore player and had deep feelings for Rune Continent. Since he had the opportunity, he would naturally come to Rune Continent to take a look.

"Even so, it's just a small matter for you, but for me, it's a major issue that has troubled me for hundreds of years. Without your help, I'm afraid I would be worried about the relationship between Zaun and Piltover right now! Thank you very much."

"Well, Janna, there's no need for such thank-yous between us. Let's disguise ourselves and go see what the mortals are like down there."

Li Xuan took Jana's hand and came to the newly born Zaun. Although Jana was a little surprised by Li Xuan's slightly abrupt action, she did not resist too much. After Li Xuan merged with the Dao, he had a deep affinity for Jana, a wind spirit created by heaven and earth. In the past few days, he had been taking actions to help her. It can be said that Jana's affection for Li Xuan was rising. If it was just holding hands, Jana would not resist.

When the people of Zaun arrived at the new place, although they knew that this was a gift from the storm goddess Janna and another god, they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy at first. However, with the efforts of Vandel and Hilko, order was maintained. After living there for a few days, the ordinary people of Zaun fell in love with the dreamy environment here. The fresh air, clear rivers and the spring-like environment all year round were completely incomparable to the hellish place of Zaun in the past. This place was simply a paradise. There was abundant food every day. If you didn't like it, whether it was the surging fish tide in the river or the sweet wild fruits and delicacies all over the mountains, they were all excellent sources of food.

It is obvious what a hard life they had lived in the past. Hometown, what a shit hometown! Even a dog would not miss that hellish hometown. The people of Zaun declared that this was their real hometown, a treasure land given to them by God.

Li Xuan and Janna held hands like an ordinary couple, strolling through the newly reborn Zaun, observing the specific situation to avoid any accidents. However, everything went on track as Li Xuan expected, and there were no problems.

During this period, Li Xuan and Janna's relationship also got on track, and Li Xuan was very happy about this.

"Have you heard? That famous singer is coming to sing here, let's go and listen."

"Really? In the past, only the upper class could hear that. I never thought that ordinary people like me would have this opportunity."

"Oh! Master, we Zauns are protected by Janna, the goddess of storms. What are those Piltovers? How dare they look down on us?"

"Indeed, we, the people of Zaun, have stood up and are no longer the same as we were before."

"Okay, let's stop talking about this and go listen to the Starlight Diva's performance!"

………………

Xinglai Diva? Interesting. Li Xuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He didn't expect that the wheelchair person also came here.

Though born in Piltover, Seraphine's parents are both from Zaun. Possessing a powerful 037 intuition, she can hear the souls of others—the entire world sings to her, and she sings back. She's a natural fit for a miko, and Li Xuan believes her abilities are far greater than those of the shrine maiden from Godslayer. Her innate abilities allow her to rapidly grow in power whenever she finds the right system.

"I know that child. Although she doesn't have much ability, she is working hard in her own way to resolve the conflict between Zaun and Piltover."

As for Seraphine, Janna also likes this talented girl very much.

"Then let's go to her concert."

In response to Li Xuan's suggestion, Janna nodded in agreement.

It has to be said that Seraphine really has her own abilities to become the most famous singer in a place like Piltover that discriminates against people from Zaun. She draws inspiration from the sounds of the world she hears and sings. This kind of singing is almost irresistible to ordinary people. It even has some benefits after listening to it, which can make ordinary people's ears and eyes clearer and their minds clearer. No wonder she has so many fans.

Li Xuan also thought Seraphine's songs were good, so he and Janna became ordinary audience members.

Chapter 402: Arrangements for Seraphine

However, to Li Xuan's surprise, when Seraphine finished singing and the audience was leaving, Seraphine came up to him.

"What's the matter with you?"

Seraphine was a little confused and speechless at this time. As a singer who traveled between Piltover and Zaun, she heard the news that the storm goddess Janna had moved to Zaun, so she hurried to Zaun to find out what was going on. As a result, she came to the new Zaun in a daze. She did not feel any aversion to this. On the contrary, when the people of Zaun were very uneasy at the beginning, she stood up and used her singing to soothe people's inner anxiety.

This concert was no different. However, she hadn't anticipated that, at the climax of her performance, her inspiration reached its peak. She sensed Janna's aura, the same monsoon wind that had lingered in Zaun for centuries. Thus, she understood Janna's true identity. Impulsively, she approached her, unsure why she was seeking her out. It was simply a burning curiosity that drove her to act.

Then Seraphine got another big piece of news, which was Li Xuan, who was very close to Janna. It was obvious that anyone who could stand next to Janna must also be a god. Seraphine thought of the great existence who created this island a few days ago, and Li Xuan should be that god.

In the past few days, the propaganda has been that the Storm Goddess Janna asked her friend for help, so that Zaun could be reborn. At that time, Seraphine thought that the friendship between the Storm Goddess Janna and that friend was really deep, and even something like creating an island could help Janna.

Seraphine now understood. This wasn't Janna and Li Xuan's friendship at all. They were clearly lovers, family. There was no question of whether or not to help. But was it really appropriate for a mere mortal like her to know about this?

Just as Seraphine was thinking this, Li Xuan gave her an extremely evil smile, and deliberately gave her a sense of oppression.

"Oh! So you know? In that case, I can't let you stay."

"No! I'm a very good boy and I won't say anything nonsense. Please let me go!"

Seraphine was so frightened by Li Xuan's words that tears came out of her eyes. No, she didn't want to die young. But facing such a terrifying existence like Li Xuan, running away was useless. She could only look at Janna with tears in her eyes, hoping that she could plead for her.

"Okay, stop scaring me. Seriously, a little girl like me wouldn't be that brave."

Janna was also a little helpless. Li Xuan sometimes had a bad taste. But if the bad taste went too far, it would be bad. Seraphine was already crying.

"I just want to teach her a lesson. I want her to be less curious and not get involved in everything. I want her to learn a lesson. Rune Continent is not a peaceful place. Not every powerful person is as peaceful as you."

Li Xuan shrugged. He wasn't so bad-tempered as to threaten a little girl like that. It was just that Runeterra wasn't a benevolent place, and not every powerful being was kind. Seraphine possessed such powerful intuition that it was easy for her to detect powerful beings. If one wasn't careful about one's behavior, one might encounter a bad-tempered being and be doomed. He'd teach her a lesson, and next time, Seraphine wouldn't be so reckless.

"You talk a lot."

Janna didn't think Li Xuan's explanation was flawed. Indeed, not every powerful being was as easy to talk to as she was. Some with hot tempers, upon encountering Seraphine's gaze, might teach her a lesson, or even kill her outright.

"So you were trying to scare me. You scared me to death. My heart almost jumped out of my chest."

During the conversation between Li Xuan and Janna, Seraphine knew that Li Xuan was trying to scare her, so she patted her chest to calm her fear.

"But you're going too far! What if something goes wrong if you scare me like that?"

Seeing that Li Xuan seemed to have a good personality, Seraphine relaxed and was not as reserved as at the beginning.

"Haha, if you run into us, that's just a one-shot chance. If you're as bold as me and run into someone else, it's not just a one-shot chance that something will go wrong, it's a 100% chance that something will go wrong."

Li Xuan's words were not meant to scare Seraphine. Most of the powerful beings on Rune Continent who were beyond the limits of humans and gods were not very friendly to ordinary people. Most of the Ascended Ones, Darkin, Protoss, Titans and monsters in the void would not forgive any offense against ordinary people.

"I understand. I won't be so reckless next time. I saw that Lady Janna helped Zaun find his future, so I thought she had a good character, so I followed her."

Seraphine also knew that Li Xuan was doing this for her own good, so although she said a few tough words, she still accepted Li Xuan's warning.

"So, coming to the original question, why are you looking for Janna?"

"Uh, this, that......"

Seraphine was silent for a long time, stammering and unable to say why she was looking for Janna. After all, she was just impulsive and had no purpose. However, if she said that, she would have to accept Li Xuan's criticism again. After all, she was indeed too rash this time.

Even without Seraphine saying anything, Li Xuan and Janna knew her details. After all, this kind of thing was very simple for them.

(Qian Qian) I'm impressed by you. Forget it. I'm afraid you might end up dying suddenly if you offend someone in the future. I'd better introduce you to a new job."

Looking at Seraphine's performance, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh, thinking she was really an idiot.

"Hey, introduce me to a new job. What is it?"

Seraphine had already forgotten the embarrassment of a few seconds ago. She was more curious about what kind of job Li Xuan was going to introduce to her.

"Jana, what do you think of this guy?"

Li Xuan did not answer Seraphine's question, but turned around and asked Janna about her impression of Seraphine.

"It feels good. She's a very talented little girl."

Although Janna didn't know what Li Xuan was going to do, she still expressed her opinion about Seraphine.

"In that case, how about making her your miko?"

Chapter 403: First Arrival in Bilgewater

"Miko!!???"

"Miko!!???"

Looking at the two pairs of confused eyes of Janna and Seraphine, Li Xuan couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Look at me, you actually forgot there's no such profession as a shrine maiden on Rune Continent. Simply put, a shrine maiden is a messenger serving the gods. While their own strength may not be that strong, they can pray to the gods and draw on their power to unleash extremely powerful strength. When necessary, they can even perform divine descent, where the gods themselves use the shrine maiden's body to unleash even greater power. It can be said that a shrine maiden is an extension of the gods' power and will."

Li Xuan explained the existence of the profession of witch in simple and easy-to-understand terms that they could understand.

"But why do I need a miko? There's no need!"

Janna understood the specific situation of the witch, but what she didn't understand was why Li Xuan asked her to accept Seraphine as a witch?

"No, Janna, this is absolutely necessary. You have to understand that Zaun is now ahead of Ionia and Pilgewater. They will definitely test the suddenly appeared Zaun Island. Besides you, in Zaun right now, Vandel and Hilko are only decent among the mortals. As for the extraordinary, Viktor and Ekko still need time to absorb the legacy of the Netheril Arcane Empire. This means there's a gap in Zaun's mid-770 levels of extraordinary power. We can't just let you take on every challenge. If you do that, not only will your image be tarnished, Janna, but it will also easily escalate the conflict and push the battle to a higher level."

Of course, Janna understood what Li Xuan said and nodded repeatedly.

"With the Witch, she can draw upon your strength to unleash powers close to the limits of mortal nature. When faced with challenging situations, she can even call upon your will to intervene. This way, Zaun's shortcomings in the realm of the transcendent will be addressed."

"As for why I chose Seraphine, it's because she's truly gifted and possesses powerful inspiration, making her a perfect choice for a priestess. And as the goddess of wind, don't you think the gentle breeze aligns perfectly with harps, music, singing, and bards?"

Well, although some of Li Xuan's reasons were a bit strange, such as the connection between wind and music, singing, and bards, his other reasons did convince Janna. She felt that Zaun really needed a witch as a trump card of Zaun, and Seraphine was indeed a good candidate.

"What about my opinion? When you say this, have you ever thought about asking for my opinion? What if I don't agree?"

Seraphine was speechless when she saw Li Xuan had convinced Janna with just a few words and decided that she would be the priestess. Didn't this matter require her consent? Even for a god, this was too much!

"Oh, don't you want to? Then Janna and I will go find someone else."

Li Xuan glanced at Seraphine. Although she was the best choice, others were also possible. They would just be slightly weaker in strength.

"No! No! No! I agree. Isn't it okay if I agree?"

Seraphine would naturally not refuse. Although she was not particularly pursuing power, living in such a dangerous environment as Runeterra, Seraphine would not refuse the power she had. After all, power is not omnipotent, but being without power is absolutely impossible in Runeterra.

"Oh! Bitch, you're just being pretentious. You should just be happy that you were chosen as Janna's priestess. This is a position that many people in Zaun dream of. If I hadn't discovered you today, this priestess position would have belonged to someone else. You're lucky."

"Hehe! Looks like I'm lucky today!"

Seraphine also knew that this opportunity to become the strongest person under the gods overnight was something that countless people envied. She could only say that she was very lucky today.

"Alright, then follow us. Starting tomorrow, you'll be learning about miko knowledge from Janna. Your compatibility and interactions with Janna will determine the amount of power you can draw from her. Although you have considerable talent, don't slack off."

"Ok, I see."

Seraphine nodded heavily in response to Li Xuan's warning. She also understood the importance and hard-won nature of this opportunity, and she made up her mind that she must study hard.

But what Seraphine didn't expect was that Li Xuan and Janna didn't really treat her as an outsider. They didn't shy away from sleeping in the same room with her. Seraphine, still a pure girl, couldn't help but blush. Wow, this is too bold. Could it be that they have always lived such a loving life?

This is of course impossible. Li Xuan and Janna have known each other for no more than ten days, and today is the first time they have slept in the same bed. However, for Janna, who has lived for a very long time, this kind of thing has already been decided. It is Li Xuan, so there is no need for her to hesitate.

As for Seraphine, she cared even less. Although Janna had a good personality, she was an ancient wind elf after all, and her thoughts were different from those of ordinary people.

Li Xuan stayed on Zaun for a few more days, accompanying Janna and training Seraphine, before departing for other parts of Runeterra. Janna, by contrast, wasn't overly sad. She possessed eternal life, so she didn't need to be overly craving. She simply hoped Li Xuan could investigate Bilgewater and Ionia, near Zaun. Li Xuan readily agreed to Janna's request, as it wasn't a difficult task for him anyway.

For this reason, Li Xuan's first stop was Bilgewater, a place where all kinds of people gather. It is also on the edge of Rune Continent, and there is Shadow Isle nearby. Therefore, the residents living here are very tough and pursue pleasure. It can be said to be a paradise for criminals.

Gangplank the Scourge of the Sea, Graves the Outlaw, Twisted Fate, the Card Master, and Pike the Bloodhaven—just the names of these renowned figures clearly convey the chaotic nature of Bilgewater. Sea serpent hunters, dock gangs, and smugglers have come from all corners of the known world to establish themselves here. Here, wealth can rival a nation or ruin can be achieved in a matter of seconds. For those fleeing judgment, debt, and persecution, this city offers a chance for a new lease on life, for within Bilgewater's winding streets, no one cares about your past.

Chapter 404: Bounty Hunter Sarah

After Li Xuan arrived in Bilgewater, he naturally had to go to the tavern to get some information. However, although the pirates had discovered the sudden appearance of Zaun Island, and there were also desperate people who wanted to take a chance and land on the island for profit, there was not much truly valuable information. All Li Xuan heard were some general news that did not have much value. Just when Li Xuan wanted to find the bartender to get more specific information.

A woman found him. Her long, fiery red hair flowed in the wind like a burning flame. She had a curvaceous figure, was extremely hot, and exuded a unique charm. She was full of confidence and strength.

Such a beauty appeared in a tavern in the chaotic city of Bilgewater, but no one dared to harass her. It was obvious that she had her own confidence.

Of course, looking at the beautiful woman with two gunpowder guns on her waist, Li Xuan has recognized her identity, the bounty hunter Sarah, a strong woman wandering in the gray area of ​​Bilgewater. At the age of sixteen, she already had her own ship and crew, and had quite a reputation in Bilgewater.

Therefore, although Sarah's beauty is very famous in Bilgewater, her ruthlessness is also well known. Therefore, no one dares to trouble this thorny rose.

"Hey, beautiful lady, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Xuan was very curious about why Sarah came to him. After all, there didn't seem to be anything strange about him.

Is it because he is very handsome that she came to chat with me?

In fact, Sarah did look for Li Xuan for this reason. She felt that he was more pleasing to the eye, and she also valued Li Xuan's identity. Although Li Xuan was not wearing any gold or silver, the clothes he was wearing were all prepared by Black Rabbit for him, which were in line with the attire of the leader of the Arcadia Community. Although they had no meaning to him, who was only in his teens, every item on the clothes were various precious treasures from mythology, and the words "gold and jade clothes" were not enough to describe them.

The people in the Bilgewater Tavern all had some discerning eyes. They knew that Li Xuan's exquisite clothes were very luxurious, and there were no signs of exercise on his body. Therefore, they concluded that Li Xuan was of noble status. Moreover, there were no guards around him. He might be a young master from a noble family in other regions who had come out to take risks. He was obviously a big fat sheep. If they kidnapped him, the ransom they could get would probably allow them to retire from the business world and live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives. How could they miss such a good thing!

In fact, ever since Li Xuan entered the tavern, most people's eyes were fixed on him. Li Xuan was naturally very clear about this, but he didn't care. They were just a bunch of scum anyway, and he could just deal with them soon.

But why did Sarah go to him? It was simple, actually it was for money. Although Sarah had her own ship and crew at the age of sixteen, it was not easy to maintain a team. As a bounty hunter, she had no shortage of targets in the sinful city of Pilgrim's Water.

However, it is also very difficult to grow and develop, which makes it difficult to achieve your goals.

And now a great opportunity to make money appeared in front of her. If she sent back the young master who ran away from a noble family, she would definitely be rewarded very generously. In this way, her team would be able to grow and become stronger, and she would be one step closer to her goal.

"Hey, handsome boy, do you know that your current situation is extremely dangerous? How dare you come to a place like Bilgewater without any guards? Everyone here has their eyes on you."

Sarah approached Li Xuan and told him about his situation in a slightly seductive tone.

"But don't be afraid. As long as you pay a fee, my team and I will escort you back to your home. How about that? Not a bad deal, right?"

Sarah was very confident. She knew that for a simple young man like Li Xuan who came from a noble family, after she had pointed out the threat he posed and said that she could protect him, the escort mission would definitely be easy for her to complete without any problem.

But to Sarah's surprise, Li Xuan rejected her very straightforwardly.

"Of course I know about this, but what threat can these scum pose to me? You underestimate me. I dare to come to Bilgewater alone, so I have my own pride."

Looking at Li Xuan's confident eyes, Sarah couldn't help but feel a little moved. In the past, she only saw some big and strong men in Bilgewater. It was rare to see such a delicate and handsome guy. Sarah, who was still single, was very moved. However, Sarah had not yet achieved her goal, so she could only suppress her inner throbbing.

"Heh, do you think that the strength you've trained at home is invincible outside?"

Sarah understood that the guy in front of her might have some strength. After all, among the great nobles, there are plenty of resources and knowledge. As long as you want, it is not difficult to become stronger. There is also no shortage of good equipment, so becoming stronger is not difficult.
