Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

"Yeah, it's pretty safe here."

The residual power of the other Frost Sky Nail has not yet dissipated, and Li Qingping's power is still in a restricted state. He cannot get out for the time being, so he might as well go to the Abyss Spiral to find out what's going on.

Li Qingping found a flat ground, lay down and closed his eyes.

At this moment, the Fontainebleau Heart worth 2.2 million Mora in Li Qingping's hand lit up with the same light blue light as the outer barrier of the Frost Sky Nail.

[The fourth level of the Abyss, the challenge begins]

[The Guardian, Demon of the Waves, Sedna]

It was still night.

Bubbles were gurgling in the center of the mirror-like lake.

Li Qingping knew it was Sedna, so he walked to the lake and called her name.

Sedna heard the call and poked her head out from the middle of the lake, naked and wearing nothing.

She went back in and then appeared in front of Li Qingping again.

"I told you that place was safe. But your luck is really bad. You actually encountered a bad guy throwing a big stone pillar."

After Li Qingping came in, he used mind reading to find out what was happening outside. This was an agreement between the two of them and it was not considered a violation.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Li Qingping tensed up, not daring to breathe.

"Because this is the outfit you were most looking forward to, I thought of giving it a try." Sedna walked around the lake, completely unaware that there was anything wrong.

This is a huge problem!

Sedna is now wearing Kamisato Ayaka's sword training kimono!

The material itself is very thin, and when it gets wet with sweat, it becomes almost see-through.

Sedna is now soaking directly in the water, so there is no need to mention the effect.

There are some parts that you probably shouldn't read, but Li Qingping read them all anyway.

In awe.

Seeing the unnatural Li Qingping, Sedna secretly used her power, and then...

"You pervert!"

Sedna flapped her tail and dived back into the lake.

As long as she knows about the things in the Abyss, she can create them.

So when she came out, Sedna changed into a conservative padded short-sleeved black T-shirt.

"You are such a bad person!" Sedna put her hands on her hips and waited for Li Qingping angrily.

"Your ability seems to be extraordinary. What happened just now was not even mind reading." Li Qingping narrowed his eyes and looked at Sedna.

"...Are memory waves no longer waves?" Sedna lost her temper and said in a much softer voice, "None of this matters!"

"Very important! Tell me quickly, what other uses does it have!" Li Qingping grabbed Sedna's hand and tried to capture the suspect who wanted to resist interrogation, but was dragged into the lake by the other party instead.

What a standard demon god of Teyvat! Li Qingping is no match for him.

"...Hey, you didn't fall, did you? You can't blame me just now, you pulled yourself out." Sedna pulled Li Qingping out of the water and waved her arm in front of his eyes.

She knew that Li Qingping could extend his life and come back, but she always felt a little guilty.

"You were very clear when you peeked into my memory, and now you're concerned about my life or death?" Li Qingping slapped her hand away and said helplessly.

Fortunately, this cute Sedna is reasonable, otherwise this place would be unbearable to stay in!

"Okay, I know I was wrong. In exchange, I'll answer a question." Sedna waved her hands, pouted and dived into the water, leaving only her big blue eyes, looking at Li Qingping pitifully.

"Okay then, I'll take a loss and just ask a random question."

"Oh, then you're being too bad. Ask something confidential."

How would I know what is confidential to you?

"Frost Sky Nail..."

"Yes, it's my skeleton."

Li Qingping: ???

No, sister, I haven’t asked yet!

Why are you still asking questions?

Li Qingping rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little headache.

"Why did you become the target of the Frost Sky Nail?"

"Hey, that's another question. It's beyond the scope of my answer. Lululu!"

The moonlight, like a veil, gently sprinkled on the lake, and the shimmering water reflected dots of silver light. The lake water was slightly cool, and the two of them soaked in it, as if they had merged with the night.

Suddenly, Sedna jumped out of the water, and water droplets slid down the ends of her curly hair, sparkling with crystal luster in the moonlight.

She raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a playful smile, with a sly glint in her eyes. Before Li Qingping could react, she pouted lightly and spit a cluster of tiny water droplets at his face.

The water sprayed in an arc in the air, then fell on his face, instantly spreading a cool feeling. Li Qingping wiped his face helplessly, only to see Sedna already doubled over with laughter, her silver bell-like laughter echoing across the quiet lake, as if even the moonlight was stained by her joy, becoming softer and brighter.

"You are not qualified to explore the secrets of me now! Someone has already lost his life for it, and I don't want you to be the next." Sedna scooped up another bucket of water and wiped the saliva off Li Qingping's face. Her movements were gentle and her voice was delicate, like a soft evening breeze, stirring the heartstrings.

Li Qingping stared at Sedna before him, momentarily forgetting to breathe. Her smile, radiant under the moonlight, was like the brightest star in the night sky, instantly lighting up a corner of his heart.

The lake water was cold, but a fire seemed to be burning in his chest, and his blood was surging through his limbs, with an indescribable throbbing.

Her every move, every laugh...

Stop!

Li Qingping, ah Li Qingping, what are you doing!

Including this time, you've only met twice, and she's killed you thousands of times. Don't let your mind wander just because she's pretty, lively, and playful!

This woman is difficult to deal with. She can also read minds and remember things. You can't beat her!

It is said that sincerity is a killer move, and Li Qingping has a deep understanding of this. He uses this move to be successful in everything he does, and he killed the young lady without leaving a single piece of armor. She even stole her grandfather's treasured watch and lent it to him.

But now, his understanding is deeper.

Sedna also held a sword of sincerity and killed her way to the door of his heart where he was guarding it.

She didn't take any action, but just put away her sword and walked slowly to Li Qingping. With a wisp of fragrant wind, she straightened Li Qingping's collar, and then said lightly, "I don't want you to lose your life, so let's stop here."

What's the difference between this and just barging in?

"There must be some way. How can you tell me? Or how strong have I become?" Li Qingping asked, holding his breath.

"Well... let me think about it." Sedna rested her chin on her hands, her blue eyes flickering. "Either you're strong enough to defeat me, or you get that person's permission."

"That one?"

"The one who allowed me to keep my body intact! Just this once, I will tell you his name backwards: 'Rutasyi'."

Volume 1: 98. The Permanently Open Fourth Layer of the Abyss, Echoes of a Thousand Winds

"Ishtar..."

Li Qingping's voice was gentle. Before he could even pronounce the name completely, Sedna, looking panicked, rushed over and gently pressed her hand against his mouth.

"I can't tell you! She is the God of Time, the God of all time. She is the measure of the thousand winds, the sun, and the moon. Those who call upon her true name will receive her response." Sedna shook her head slightly. "I can sense that you hold even more secrets. Don't easily attract the attention of Sky Island, even if that god is known for his compassion."

This was the second time Li Qingping heard the name Sky Island. First it was Lei Dianzhen, and then it was Sedna in front of him.

The two demon gods, who were not weak at all, were both very secretive about Sky Island, and especially did not want Li Qingping to be involved.

"What exactly is this Sky Island you're talking about? If you don't want to tell me, just pretend I didn't ask."

"You didn't go to find her, but asked me instead. You are such a bad person!" Sedna crossed her arms in front of her chest, her watery eyes slightly narrowed, and her cheeks puffed up like an angry hamster.

She naturally knew that thunder and lightning really existed, so she said that Li Qingping was bad.

"You clearly guessed that person had a connection to Sky Island, yet you still threw such a difficult problem to me? Are you so reluctant to let her take risks?"

Sedna's tone unconsciously became subtle, and she felt a sense of frustration as if she was being outdone.

"I'm reluctant," Li Qingping replied crisply. "If discussing Sky Island will bring danger, then there's no need to bring it up. Give me some time. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll chop them down one by one, or two by two."

"..." Sedna opened her rosy little mouth slightly and remained silent for a long time.

The young man in front of him had just witnessed the mighty power descending from the sky at sea. The overwhelming power did not make him lament his own insignificance. Instead, it made him feel that all this was not out of reach - as long as he gave it time, he would be able to catch up.

The ability to see through people's hearts became an accomplice at this moment, fueling Sedna's admiration for the boy.

How can someone say something like that in a serious manner and mean it?

Doesn’t he know how terrifying Sky Island is!

Sedna's heart seemed to be gently touched by something, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red. She felt a little stuffy in her chest, and her whole body seemed to be wrapped in a warm current, even her fingertips were slightly hot.

When it comes to love, her experience may not be as rich as that of a little girl in kindergarten. The little girl may have several boyfriends of the same age!

"You are just biased..." Sedna lowered her head, not daring to look into Li Qingping's eyes, for fear that her thoughts would be seen through by the person in front of her.

Why are you so biased!

The woman named Lei Dianzhen has known Li Qingping for more than ten years. How can she, who has only met him twice, say that Li Qingping is biased?

As soon as she said this, Sedna knew she had spoken out of turn. She turned around abruptly and slid silently into the lake like a nimble fish.

The cold lake water instantly enveloped her body, but it could not extinguish the inexplicable heat in her heart.

"I'm just telling you, it's not a big deal."

The voice coming from the lake seemed a little unreal. Li Qingping was a little unsure of the thoughts of this Demon God of Waves.

What's going on here?

"I didn't force you, did I?" Li Qingping asked.

The sword of sincerity is also Li Qingping's sharp weapon. He chopped all the way here, and now he has unknowingly reached Sedna's heart.

"No." Sedna sorted out her thoughts in the cool lake water.

"In the year of the dove carrying the branch, the First Throne descended upon Teyvat, created four of its own glowing shadows, and went to war with the Seven Dragon Kings of Teyvat."

"The Lord of the First Throne ultimately triumphed and established Sky Island."

Li Qingping was stunned for a long time: "That's all, nothing else?"

"Then add to that the fact that the Lord of the First Throne awarded the seven victors of the Demon God War the 'Heart of God', which allows them to contact Sky Island."

"That's all. The rest are life-threatening matters. If you don't want to live, I can tell you everything." Sedna, who was hiding underwater, spit out a mouthful of water at Li Qingping again.

Unlike the full force on the lake, the water gun in the water had limited power and barely touched Li Qingping's lips.

"You're a Pisces!" Li Qingping wanted to catch Sedna and teach her a lesson about how spitting is impolite, but when he thought of the difference in their strength, he gave up. "What is the Heart of God?"

"I'm not one of the seven winners, how would I know what the Heart of God is! And..." Sedna, underwater, saw Li Qingping still wiping his mouth in disgust, and a nameless rage rose in her heart for no reason, "Get out of here!!"

He was clearly the master of the Abyss, but he was driven out by the guardians of one of the layers. It would be embarrassing to tell anyone about this.

Li Qingping also resisted, saying that he would never go out even if he was beaten to death, but Sedna's methods were still too cruel.

She threatened that if Li Qingping didn't leave, she would dig up the memory of him being awakened by a thunderstorm as a child and hiding in his bed crying, and "appreciate" it carefully.

"This woman is so evil!"

Li Qingping opened his eyes cursing.

"Not done yet?" Lei Dianzhen sat next to him, looking at him with a smile.

"Bad woman, let's not talk about it!"
