The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　The others stared wide-eyed and gaped at the astonishing scene. It was too shocking to believe that the little girl could defeat the berserk Hilichurl King. If it was just about defeating a baby Rock Dragapult, Gan Yu would have accepted it, but the little girl's clean and efficient defeat of the Hilichurl King was simply too bizarre.

　Just as Gan Yu was about to rush to the little girl's side to wipe the poisonous blood off her body, Xian Yun immediately stopped her, using wind element to manipulate water to wash the little girl clean. Shen He also used ice element to freeze the remaining poisonous blood, while the body of the Hill Crest King was still being prepared.

　Qianyan Army burned the place on the spot, and only after checking that there were no remaining monsters around did Gan Yu feel relieved.

　On the way, Gan Yu saw a little girl eating honey with an OVO look on her face, and then saw Ke Qing looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't. "Ke Qing, let's talk about it when we get back. Xiao Guang should be fine."

　After returning to Liyue Harbor, the group didn't go to Wanmin Hall. After meeting Yelan at the city gate, they went directly to Qunyu Pavilion. Dinner was naturally eaten there as well, but the food was ordered from Liuli Pavilion. As for whether Ningguang had considered the little girl's appetite, Ganyu believed that Ningguang wouldn't let her go hungry. On the other hand, considering that the little girl loved honey, Ganyu specially sent someone to buy several boxes of butter honey cookies. The little girl happily ate them one after another. At the same time, Xianyun set up the cooking machine outside and was preparing dinner for the little girl.

　"I have a general idea of ​​what's going on with this matter, but Yelan, what's the situation with Baishu?"

　"Lord Ningguang, all the Thousand Rock soldiers who suffered external injuries have been treated. Only three of the unconscious soldiers have woken up. According to them, their strength seems to have increased significantly after waking up. However, since they have just woken up, no tests have been arranged for them."

　"Alright, let's talk about it after this is all settled. We'll focus on those few people, and then there's Xiaoguang's problem. She wasn't affected by the black energy. Could it really be a creature created by the Fools, as the intelligence reports?"

　Xianyun tapped the table lightly and said, “Ningguang, I know what you’re thinking. I’ve also read that report. That method of fighting poison with poison is indeed commendable. Using poison to treat poison shows that the doctor has guts and is also crazy. But to say that Xiaoguang is a product of the Fools is impossible. A fake is destined not to survive.”

　Ningguang gave Xianyun a meaningful look and said, "As far as I know, Liyue's chief alchemist, Abedor, and the poison dragon Durin from Mondstadt's history are both alchemists. However, I am not interested in alchemy. I just don't want Liyue to suffer any disaster. Perhaps you misunderstood me. My idea is very simple: since Xiaoguang is in Liyue's territory, she belongs to Liyue. It would be unseemly for an outsider to interfere."

　Xianyun was slightly startled, not expecting Ningguang to have such great ambitions, and to say such a thing as double-crossing. Yes, this is Liyue, not some Sumeru or Winter.

　"But we also need to find out about Xiao Guang's situation. By the way, the intelligence said that Xiao Guang was taken away after she was born. Although she is five years old, she might be able to help Liyue if she is properly taught. Let's send her to school. She can't speak yet."

　Gan Yu was watching the little girl eat when she heard Ke Qing's words and said, "Then let's register the place of origin here. My house is quite big, and there's absolutely no problem with Xiao Guang living here."

　P.S.: First update! My first update!

　PS2: Thank you for your support, readers! And please, give me lots of votes and tips! Love you all!

　The 11th place in the Monster Hunter popularity poll is Yu Niang... wait, isn't the first place supposed to be Rathalos?

　Volume 1: 087 - The Doctor Arrives at the Door

　After the matter was over, Gan Yu registered the young girl in her household register. Now the General Affairs Department knows that Gan Yu has an extra "daughter". However, Gan Yu is quite busy with the affairs of Yuehai Pavilion, so Xian Yun usually takes care of her. Although she says she takes care of her, Xian Yun wants to teach the young girl martial arts.

　Of course, the Fatui also sent people over, but Keqing kicked them out without a second thought. The compensation for the Unfettered Talisman hadn't been paid yet, and on the other hand, Inazuma's ship was about to arrive in Liyue.

　In the snowy mountains of the New World, a Black Eclipse Dragon lurked in the shadows, its jet-black wing membranes turned white from the snow. Its limbs were pressed tightly against the ground, poised for an ambush. Beside it, a Bull Dragon, having drunk its fill of hot spring water, prepared to dig up some buried plant roots to fill its belly. Just as it passed an intersection, the Bull Dragon suddenly noticed some strange black objects at its feet. As it lowered its head, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out and pounced on the Bull Dragon, knocking it to the ground.

　The forelimbs of the Brutosaurus had degenerated to the point of being almost useless, and the entire body's support and movement relied on its hind legs. Therefore, when the Black Eclipse Dragon pounced on it, the Brutosaurus was immediately knocked to the ground. Fortunately, its hard shell and flexible fur prevented it from suffering too much damage. After rolling on the ground and getting up, the Brutosaurus roared and charged at the Black Eclipse Dragon with its horns raised. The Black Eclipse Dragon did not dodge, but instead jumped onto the Brutosaurus's back, opened its mouth wide, and bit down on the Brutosaurus's throat.

　In excruciating pain, the Bull Dragon shook its head, trying to throw the Black Devourer Dragon off. Normally, the Bull Dragon would use its massive body to roam freely and domineeringly, but the Black Devourer Dragon didn't care. She was now twenty-three meters long, and in terms of size, she could easily kill the Bull Dragon.

　Now, the Black Eclipse Dragon lowered its wing claws and forcefully pressed down on the struggling body of the Bull Dragon. With a "rip," it violently tore a large chunk of flesh from the Bull Dragon's throat, severing its trachea and arteries.

　Steaming hot blood gushed out. The Brute Dragon was about to muster its last bit of strength when the Black Eclipse Dragon's wing claws gripped the Brute Dragon's horn firmly. The two struggled to a draw, and the Brute Dragon eventually collapsed to the ground due to excessive blood loss.

　After the Black Devourer devoured the Bull Dragon's body, it left. After bathing in the hot spring, the Black Devourer suddenly smelled a familiar scent. After transforming back into human form, the little girl followed the familiar scent to a tent. Curious, she crawled inside, looked around, and touched everything. Then, she found a white greatsword in a box. She picked it up and tried it out, finding it quite comfortable, so she took it.

　Not long after, when Bai Feng returned to the camp, he cried out, "Where is my Berserker Giant? I finally managed to get some materials from the Frostfang Barioth! My greatsword, waaaaah!"

　In Liyue, Xianyun planned to take the little girl to meet Lord Lishan Dieshui and Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang. Firstly, she wanted to show off her little girl, since although they weren't related by blood, she was under Ganyu's name and considered family. Secondly, she wanted to find out the girl's true identity. During their time in Liyue Harbor, Ganyu and Xianyun had tried talking to the little girl and observing her reactions. They concluded that since Xiaoguang was born this way, if she were to transform, she probably wouldn't retain so many biological characteristics, especially her tail.

　The final result was not good. Neither Lishan Dieshui Zhenjun nor Xiaoyue Zhuyang Zhenjun knew what kind of creature Xiaoguang was.

　"Sorry, Liu Yun, we don't know either. Maybe Xiao Guang is some kind of extraterrestrial visitor like that traveler?"

　"It's a pity that Xiao Guang can't speak. If she could speak, we could learn more information. Liu Yun, you have to teach her to speak properly. It's really inappropriate for a child this age not to be able to speak."

　Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun nodded and said, "I plan to teach Xiao Guang to speak as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very inconvenient in daily life. Well, we have arrived at the entrance of the cave. Please go back and visit us another day."

　Before Lord Liuyun Jiefeng could finish his greeting, a group of soldiers from the Fool Clan appeared at the entrance of Lord Lishan Dieshui's cave. Lord Lishan Dieshui flapped his wings and said in a cold tone, "Who dares to trespass into the place where immortals cultivate in seclusion?"

　The musketeer guerrillas of the Fools stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Immortal, that little fellow is ours. We, the Fools, have come here to reclaim it."

　Seeing that one of the immortals, Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, looked displeased, as if he were about to kill someone, the soldiers of the Fool Clan trembled, but still managed to say, "Ordinary experiments are fine, but our leader emphasized that she is very dangerous. If not handled properly, it could lead to the destruction of the country. So please be careful, immortals."

　With a flick of his wrist, Lord Liuyun sent a strong gust of wind towards the group. The Fool soldiers struggled to steady themselves, but their hats were blown away. "You dare to speak such nonsense, you brats! This child is a Liyue citizen and has nothing to do with you, Zhidong. If you dare to talk such nonsense, next time it will be your heads that get blown away."

　Seeing the group fleeing in disarray, True Monarch Lishan Dieshui shook his head. "The Foolish Fools are wolves in sheep's clothing. They dare to demand people directly from my cave. Let's see what they do."

　Just as True Lord Lishan Dieshui was about to say something, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng stopped him, saying, "Don't rush, there are still some things that need to be clarified. Xiao Guang, your background is indeed unusual. Perhaps the Fools know something."

　"Okay, please contact me if you have any problems, and I will definitely come to help."

　After leaving the cave of the True Lord of Lishan Dieshui, Xianyun reunited with Shen He and Yelan with his young daughter. During this time, Shen He and Yelan were in charge of the berserk potion. Unexpectedly, just as Xianyun finished setting up the cooking machine and his young daughter was eagerly waiting for the meal to be ready, a boy wearing a straw hat led a group of Fool soldiers to the camp.

　"Excuse me, sir, and Miss Yelan and Miss Shenhe."

　After clearly seeing the man's face, Yelan immediately placed her hand on the Eye of God, ready for battle. "Sixth Seat of the Fools' Enforcers, Scatter Soldier, what are you doing here?"

　“Fool’s Enforcers, didn’t I just warn you? If you harass us again, next time you’ll lose your heads.”

　Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun looked at the scattered soldiers with impatience. She just wanted to find out what Xiao Guang's identity was. She didn't really want to get involved in the fight, but if she had to, she could kill him four or five times over.

　Although Lord Liuyun Jiefeng's tone was not good, the scattered soldiers didn't care much and still smiled and said, "No, no, no, you've misunderstood, Liyue Immortal. I have indeed come to ask you to return that little one, but I won't take action. I will only explain to you who this little one is. If you are willing to bear the consequences, I will not force you to return her. Is that acceptable to you?"

　Hearing what the stragglers said, Lord Liuyun's expression softened slightly. "Tell me everything you know, and then leave Liyue. You are not welcome here."

　The soldier's smile remained unchanged as he said, "Little one, number K423, is the only successful individual in the lab. An unknown lab technician secretly removed her from the culture medium, leaving her stranded outside. Because she was removed prematurely, her vocalization is somewhat impaired; otherwise, she would speak like a normal child. Fortunately, she can only say..."

　The dialogue is the only failing grade; the rest—emotions, actions, etc.—are all fine.

　After listening, Ye Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, "I know that too, just from these things. It's very easy to learn these things by following Xiao Guang. Not to mention you, I know them all."

　"Yes, Mr. CEO, if your reasoning is so simple, I think you should consider whether you can extricate yourself unscathed."

　The soldier smiled obsequiously and said sincerely, "Of course, I have more than just this one. First of all, the reason she eats so much is because she uses materials from the Poison Dragon Dulin and the Primordial Man, so her energy consumption is very high, which is why she has such a large appetite. On the other hand, because she uses the materials from the Primordial Man, she is not interested in some things, while the part belonging to the Poison Dragon Dulin keeps her interested in foraging for food, after all, it is a dragon's instinct."

　"Wait, you said dragon, with black horns and a tail, it does look very much like one."

　Yelan continued to raise questions, "Xiaoguang might be a creature that eats a lot, and she might also be a monster from Inazuma. By the way, the people from Inazuma are on their way. Once they arrive, we can verify it. If you say she's a dragon, does that mean she is? You can't just say things without evidence."

　After being refuted twice in a row, the soldier was starting to lose his composure. Just then, a blue-haired man walked up to the soldier, gently patted him on the shoulder, and gestured to him with his eyes that it would be his turn to speak.

　"Indeed, when faced with the unknown, a few casual words can indeed answer questions. So let me, the person in charge of the experiment, tell you some things that others don't know. First, her hair isn't pure black; there are some purple hairs mixed in under her black hair. However, she extremely hates people touching her horns, so you have to be careful, because horns are an important organ for them. Second, she has canine teeth, both on the top and bottom, in the position of the sixth tooth. I wonder if this information will gain your trust?"

　Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun nodded quietly to Ye Lan and Shen He. She had spent the most time with Xiao Guang during this period, so she knew very well that what the blue-haired guy said was true.

　"So what if it is? It's obvious to everyone. I can't just pick up some Mora outside and say that these Mora are Mora, and that would prove that they are mine, right?"

　The attitude of True Lord Liuyun and Borrowing the Wind was exactly what Doctor Dottore wanted: "Indeed, most of what I'm saying is what you can see, but if I were to say something you can't see, the price I would have to pay would be something you can't bear."

　P.S.: Woohoo, second update! Writing feels so good!

　Volume 1: 088 - Crimson Emperor and Azure Star

　Ye Lan tensed up immediately. After secretly sending a message to Ning Guang using the Youqi Wristband, she raised an eyebrow and said, "What, are you too guilty to say it? I've dealt with the Fools for a long time, and I know a lot about your affairs."

　Dottolei smiled slightly and said, "No, Miss Yelan, you misunderstand. I know about your affairs with the rich man, but I don't intend to get involved. What I mean is, if you want to verify what I'm about to say, that's the most terrifying thing. First of all, the berserk potions you see are all produced from her, because they are the raw materials for the poison dragon Durin. So her most powerful ability is poison. If you want to verify this, it will involve the second point. And when it comes to the topic of poisoning people, I think your Liyue is not the kind of country that would sacrifice people casually. Secondly, and most importantly, she has a true form. Don't be fooled by her appearance as a five-year-old girl. In reality..."

　After Dotole finished speaking, he looked at the skirmisher, who immediately replied, "Actually, this little guy's true form is a giant black lizard that is over twenty meters long, and it releases deadly poison at any time. Back then, we lost many people trying to study it."

　"Yes, that's why I brought the berserk potion. This batch of potion might be able to heal the injured. However, because the experimental subjects are always outside, I can't conduct experiments on them. After all, not everyone can cure that kind of poison. So, would you like to give it a try?"

　"Hahaha, ridiculous. She can't even transform properly, let alone become a black lizard over twenty meters long. Are you making fun of us? Do you think demon gods are that common? She's not the Roto Dragon King. Your unauthorized transport of prohibited drugs into Liyue has already violated the contract. I advise you to surrender obediently."

　"Looks like I have no choice but to let you know." With a snap of his fingers, Dotoley immediately tensed up. Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, Shenhe, and Yelan drew their weapons and prepared for battle. Dotoley, however, smiled and said, "The Fools are so cunning. You bastard, what do you want?"

　Before Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun could finish speaking, a gunshot shattered his cooking machine. This move, which the skirmishers and Tartaglia had already witnessed in Inazuma, was used to enrage the young girl.

　The method was simple: don't let her eat.

　As expected, after the cooking machine was broken, the little girl immediately glared at the place where the shot was fired in the distance. Her crimson-gold dragon eyes widened rapidly as she stared intently in that direction. The person seemed not to see her and fired another shot. This shot did not hit the little girl. The little girl glanced at the mess of meat patties on the ground. Although she thought these things were still edible, her most urgent task now was to kill those guys who were getting in the way of her eating.

　A flash of pale blue light appeared, and the little girl instantly reverted to her Black Eclipse Dragon form. She charged towards the Fools' soldiers. "Roar!" The Black Eclipse Dragon roared, spewing out a cloud of thick mist. Then, it raised its wing claws high and slammed them down as the Fools' soldiers were blasted away.

　Dotore remained calm. "Now you believe me, right? I'm doing this for Liyue's own good. I'm not responsible for Liyue, but for Sumeru. If this little guy hadn't come to Liyue, I wouldn't have returned."

　"Those black mists... you were right, the berserk potion is related to her." Ye Lan still couldn't believe it. She didn't think the Fools could do such a thing; there must be something fishy going on.

　“The skirmishers are puppets, so there’s no need to worry about infection. Let’s keep our distance. You should also inform your Thousand Rock Army that the berserk potion I’ve researched is equivalent to a vaccine. If an ordinary person were to be infected by this directly emitted scale powder, it wouldn’t just be a matter of falling into a coma; they could die directly.”

　Upon seeing the Black Eclipse Dragon appear, the skirmishers immediately summoned two One-Eyed Treasures and ran towards it. The One-Eyed Treasures were about five meters tall, while the Black Eclipse Dragon was a full eight meters tall when it was on all fours. From the Black Eclipse Dragon's perspective, the One-Eyed Treasures looked like toys.

　The skirmisher also knew that the Black Eclipse Dragon had a second form, so at this stage he was just manipulating One-Eyed Treasure to harass the Black Eclipse Dragon. One-Eyed Treasure would not be infected with the Mad Dragon Disease, nor would it be exhausted. As a robot, it would only faithfully carry out orders.

　After the two One-Eyed Treasures aimed at the Black Eclipse Dragon, they fired shells one after another, but they didn't leave much of a mark on the Black Eclipse Dragon. "Tsk, I knew it wouldn't be that simple." The skirmisher immediately controlled the One-Eyed Treasure, turning it into a whirlwind to attack the Black Eclipse Dragon. The Black Eclipse Dragon jumped to the side and swung its tail, knocking the two One-Eyed Treasures away. However, the One-Eyed Treasure immediately stood up. After the Black Eclipse Dragon regained its footing, it immediately spewed a thick mist at the One-Eyed Treasure. The mist exploded immediately upon contact with the One-Eyed Treasure, but this did not stop the One-Eyed Treasure's advance.

　Seeing that its attack had failed, the Black Dragon spread its claws and flew into the sky, swooping down towards One-Eyed Treasure. Its powerful claws immediately pinned One-Eyed Treasure to the ground, then raised its claws high and slammed them down. That's how the previous Hilichurl King was slapped into Hilichurl King-chan.

　The One-Eyed Little Treasure was damaged by the downward slam of its wing claws, losing its internal joints and mobility. The skirmisher smiled contemptuously, detached from the One-Eyed Little Treasure, and flew away in the distance as lightning. Then it activated its self-destruct device, and both One-Eyed Little Treasures exploded instantly. The shockwave from the explosion even reached the Cloud-Borrowing Wind True Lord, who was a little further away. Dotore said kindly, "Immortal, you see, I was right. She is not a kind creature. That dense fog is more poisonous than berserk potions."

　"Ow~"

　Before the smoke from the explosion had even cleared, everyone immediately heard a thunderous roar. As the dragon's roar spread, the smoke dissipated. The Black Devouring Dragon pumped the Mad Dragon Virus into its body through its blood, its horns emitting a flickering purple light, and it entered a Mad Dragon state. Its wings and claws extended, and it moved with six limbs. The surrounding environment also turned into a state of black mist. Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and the others were forced to take a few steps back.

　Suddenly, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun realized something and shouted angrily, "You thief, what are you up to? You don't even know what Xiao Guang is. As long as you make Xiao Guang look like this, the rest is out of our hands, right? You have a puppet that can move freely, while we have..."

　Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun almost gritted his teeth as he spoke. Seeing this, Dotole stopped trying to hide it and waved his left hand, sending two spikes flying out from behind him. "Hehe, it seems the immortals aren't stupid after all. I have no interest in you, but I am very interested in the little light you speak of. So I don't want to make a move. You'd better behave yourselves, or unless Morax comes in person, you won't be able to leave here alive."

　"Hmph, I thought you were saying that you don't need the Emperor to take action, I will deal with a scourge like you for Liyue myself."

　While the scattered soldiers were dealing with the Black Devouring Dragon, Dotore also started fighting with Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun and others.

　The skirmisher laughed as he watched the Black Devourer enter its berserk form, clapping his hands. Immediately, more One-Eyed Little Treasures appeared from the side. "You little thing, to defeat you, I've installed self-destruct devices on all the trash in the ruins. Let's see who wins and who loses."

　Under the command of the skirmishers, the One-Eyed Little Treasures immediately split into two teams. One team prepared to launch missiles, while the other team spun around and charged towards the Black Eclipse Dragon. The Black Eclipse Dragon landed on its wing claws, propped itself up, and spewed out several clouds of thick mist. The mist immediately blasted the One-Eyed Little Treasures to the ground. But at this moment, the One-Eyed Little Treasures' missiles also flew over. The Black Eclipse Dragon jumped to the side to avoid some of the missiles, but some still hit her. Fortunately, her scales were resistant to blasts, and these missiles could not hurt her.

　Black Eclipse Dragon immediately jumped

　Reaching the group of one-eyed creatures that had launched missiles, the Black Eclipse Dragon spread its left wing claws, turned around, and swept across the group of one-eyed creatures with its wing claws. The sharp wing claws and powerful force instantly tore the first one-eyed creature in half. The Black Eclipse Dragon grabbed the one-eyed creature in its hand and hurled it at the rest of the one-eyed creatures, smashing them to pieces.

　Seeing this, the stragglers realized they couldn't let the Black Devouring Dragon continue like this. They immediately ordered the remaining One-Eyed Little Treasures to self-destruct as soon as they got close to the Black Devouring Dragon. The explosions kept ringing out. During the fight between Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and Duo Tuolei, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun deeply felt that the enemy in front of him always placed him in a superior position. He was just a human, but Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun couldn't do anything to him. Just when he was getting angry, he suddenly heard an explosion and saw the Black Devouring Dragon being blown to the ground.

　"Bastards, how could you do that to Xiaoguang?"

　“You are all aware of the harm she causes, but we Fools are doing good.”

　Ye Lan smiled slightly and said, "Is that so? But I feel like you are bandits. However, True Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng, I have good news. Our helpers have arrived."

　As they were speaking, Ningguang, Ganyu, Xiaoyue Zhuyang Zhenjun, and Lishan Dieshui Zhenjun had already arrived. The group and the immortals knew the reason for the matter before they came. Just as they turned their attention to Duotole, Duotole calmly bowed and said, "Everyone, I am just one of many slices, while my colleague, the Scattered Soldiers, has already completed his mission. So, it is up to me."

　Dottore's words were clear: he was willing to sacrifice himself to let the skirmishers complete the mission. With the second seat of the Fatui Enforcers risking his life and with the addition of scale powder, the immortals and the Liyue Seven Stars might not be able to do anything to him. However, before Dottore could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed a dazzling light behind him, and Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, Ningguang, and the others stared wide-eyed at the direction of the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　"Roar~" A thunderous sound rang out, and the Black Eclipse Dragon, which had been lying on the ground, stood up. Its chest shimmered with a ghostly blue light, and blue flames rose from the ground.

　[Black Eclipse Dragon - Critical Berserker Transformation]

　Pale blue flames erupted from the head, six legs, and tail tip of the Black Eclipse Dragon, and the ends of its wing membranes were also burning with pale blue flames. Although it had no eyes, pale blue flames rose from its tentacles. At this moment, the organs belonging to the Safi'jiiva Dragon and the Safi'jiiva Dragon God Orb began to operate, which also indicated that the Black Eclipse Dragon had taken over the battlefield.

　By this time, the scales had covered the sky, and the sky over the entire area seemed to have turned black. Just as Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and the others were trying to see clearly, a yellow light flashed, and everyone arrived at a safe place.

　On the battlefield, before the skirmishers could react, a huge beam of light pierced through the remaining one-eyed creatures. Whenever a one-eyed creature tried to approach the Black Devouring Dragon, the dragon would swing its head and unleash a beam of light. For the skirmishers in front of it, the Black Devouring Dragon raised its wing claws high and slammed them down. The skirmishers barely dodged, but unexpectedly, the ground was then detonated, and pale blue flames shot into the sky. One of the skirmishers lost his footing and was tightly bitten in the mouth of the Black Devouring Dragon.

　Under the destructive burst of white light, the skirmisher's body gradually disappeared. The Black Eclipse Dragon seemed unable to withstand such a prolonged beam attack, gradually reducing its intensity. Finally, after ending the attack, it spat the skirmisher onto the ground. Seeing that the skirmisher had no chance to retaliate, Dotore immediately stepped forward to help the skirmisher put on the pseudo-divine armor. However, at this moment, the Black Eclipse Dragon flapped its wings and flew above the skirmisher. From its mouth, pale blue energy surged out, and the scorching heat instantly melted the skirmisher's body. Dotore was also engulfed by the surging white light. Before Dotore could finish equipping the skirmisher with the pseudo-divine armor, a pale blue sphere fell from the sky.

　"Boom~"

　The ground returned to calm. In the distant Liyue Harbor, Zhongli quietly stroked his teacup. "What's wrong, Mr. Zhongli? This is the first time I've seen you so uneasy."

　"It's alright, I'm just thinking about some things."

　Volume 1: 089 - The Jealous Master and Disciple

　Sent back to safety by an "unknown" force, Ningguang, Ganyu, and the others hadn't even figured out what was going on when they heard an explosion in the distance. Even from afar, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun could feel the hidden power within the explosion—power powerful enough to destroy an entire region.

　"Lishan, Xiaoyue, this is the Emperor's doing. Wait, this explosion, no wonder the Fools went to such lengths to capture Xiaoguang."

　"Liu Yun, have you noticed that this power is enough to affect the earth's veins? And look at all this dust filling the sky. The Fools have quite a scheme up their sleeves."

　Seeing that the True Lords were still preoccupied with their discussion, Gan Yu grew anxious. "True Lords, now..."

　"This isn't the time to discuss this. We need to hurry and rescue Hikari; she's still in the hands of the Fool's Enforcers."

　Before Gan Yu and the others could come up with a suitable countermeasure, Gan Yu heard someone calling her name from afar. When the figure came closer, she realized it was Yae no Miko.

　"Sister Gan Yu, it's been a long time. Something urgent has happened, so I'll get straight to the point. Xiao Guang is over here, right?"

　Gan Yu glanced at Yae no Miko with delight, then looked at the two girls with silver and blonde hair behind her, nodded, and said, "Long time no see, Miko. Indeed, the Fatui's stragglers and the Doctor wanted to take Xiao Guang away, but Xiao Guang revealed her original form and fought with them. Just at the most critical moment, we were teleported out, and now we are considering how to get back in. Do you have any ideas?"

　"I see. But looking at the current situation, Sister Gan Yu, let me tell you, Xiao Guang must have some reason why he doesn't want to turn back into his true form. You know, last time in Inazuma, Xiao Guang fought against Tartaglia and the Sanbing. The Sanbing and Tartaglia were bullied so badly that time, but we didn't help much. I didn't expect the Sanbing to come again this time."

　Upon hearing what the Eighth Divine Child said, True Lord Liuyun Borrowed Wind frowned. "How did you handle it? This sky full of black mist is deadly to ordinary people. It must have been very troublesome to deal with."

　Yae no Miko smiled and waved her folding fan. "Ayaka, if we're talking about who in Inazuma knows Hikaru best, it has to be you. So please tell me."

　Ayaka looked around. Based on the necklace's location, she confirmed that Hikari was indeed inside, but all she could see was the sky filled with black mist. She didn't know what was going on inside. Ayaka knew very well what the black mist was for. Before, when they were in Inazuma, they had started clearing from the outside. But the current situation was much more serious than what happened in Inazuma.
