While I was in Mondstadt, I never imagined becoming a god.

The Adventurers' Guild's temporary outpost was set up under a sheltered rock wall, where a few adventurers who had just completed their missions were huddled together around a campfire to keep warm.

Yura lifted the tent flap, found the person in charge, and reported the situation in Sleeping Dragon Valley.

When those people saw it was her, their attitude was much better than Xu Chuan remembered.

Some people made room for Yura to sit down, some poured her hot tea, and others thanked her for her previous help.

Xu Chuan stood at the tent entrance, looking at Yura's profile as she focused on asking her questions.

Those people's attitude towards her is different from what it was a few months ago.

I used to keep my distance from her, and I would avoid her whenever I saw her.

It's clear that Yura's efforts were not in vain; her hard work finally paid off.

Stepping out of the tent, Yura exhaled, and white mist dissipated in front of her.

She watched as Xu Chuan's lips curled up, as if he were seeking his approval.

Xu Chuan couldn't help but smile at her childish appearance, which earned him a flurry of playful punches from the girl.

After their playful fight, they continued their visits.

Hunters were in a hut halfway up the mountain, several miners from Liyue were exploring for mineral veins, and scholars from Sumeru were studying the ecology of the snow mountain.

After Yura finished recounting the events of Sleeping Dragon Valley as usual, she began to inquire about other matters, such as whether any unusual activity had occurred and the movements of the surrounding monsters.

Xu Chuan followed behind her, memorizing the information.

After visiting the last campsite, it was already dark.

Night falls earlier on Longji Snow Mountain than on the plains; before the sun has completely set, shadows quickly envelop the entire mountain range.

The air temperature dropped sharply, and the wind picked up.

"Achoo"

Yura pulled her collar tighter and sneezed.

She rubbed her nose, then naturally hugged Xu Chuan's arm and leaned closer to him.

She clearly possesses the Eyes of the Ice God, making her far more resistant to the cold than ordinary people.

Xu Chuan was dressed so thinly, yet he was as warm as a heater, even more resistant to the cold than I was.

“The mission is over, and I have a surprise for you,” Xu Chuan said.

Yura looked up at him. "Surprised?"

"Close your eyes first."

Xu Chuan's mysterious demeanor piqued her curiosity, and she couldn't help but speculate.

Yura was taken aback for a moment, recalling the books Lisa had recommended.

The contents of the book made her face flush instantly.

Could it be that Xu Chuan...

Thinking of this, the girl closed her eyes shyly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, waiting for that soft warmth to fall on her lips.

Xu Chuan took her hand, and warmth emanated from his palm, making Yura eager for more.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

Yura nodded, but things did not happen as she had expected.

In an instant, a slight feeling of weightlessness washed over her, like missing a step and then being gently supported.

The dizziness lasted only a moment, but Yura never opened her eyes.

"You can open your eyes now." Xu Chuan released her hands from his grasp.

Yura opened her eyes and stared in disbelief at the scene before her.

The Longji Snow Mountain has disappeared.

The vast expanse of white snow disappeared, and the howling wind ceased.

Instead, there was an endless sea of ​​trees, with the sound of pines rising and falling in the wind like green waves.

Sunlight streamed down from above, filtering through the gaps in the leaves, and the air was filled with the scent of pine resin and earth.

That vibrant life felt almost unreal.

Just a moment ago they were in the snow and ice of the snow-capped mountains.

Xu Chuan opened his arms and spoke to Yura.

"Actually, we are still in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. We have just arrived in a special space. How does it feel?"

But this wasn't what surprised Yura the most.

The moment she turned her head, her gaze fell on the little house, and then she couldn't look away.

Every detail is exactly the same, even the color of the curtains hasn't changed.

That's right, this is Xu Chuan's house in Mondstadt.

Using projection magic, he created a one-to-one replica of his home in Mondstadt and moved it into his own private space.

Although the house is just a projection, it will continue to exist as long as I don't release my power.

It's perfectly fine for short-term living.

Looking at the little house and the still-blooming flower on the windowsill, tears welled up in her eyes without warning.

Yura's body trembled slightly, her fingers tightened, and her nails dug into her palm.

It wasn't the Lawrence family's cold, empty mansion, where past glories and shackles were etched everywhere.

This is their home.

Yura's tears flowed even more fiercely, like a river bursting its banks, yet she smiled radiantly, tears and smiles intertwining on her face, breathtakingly beautiful.

In that instant, it felt as if something had struck her chest, and an indescribable feeling surged up, making her unable to control her emotions.

Long-standing longing, accumulated fatigue, and suppressed desires.

At this moment, it transforms into a tremendous yet unreal sense of happiness.

These feelings instantly merged together, transforming into an indescribable emotion.

It surged up uncontrollably, stuck in my throat, unable to be swallowed or spat out, and could only turn into the hottest liquid, flowing out of my eyes.

Yura looked at him, her lips trembling slightly, moving as if she wanted to say something.

All language seems pale and powerless at this moment.

Xu Chuan reached out and gently wiped away the tears that kept rolling down her face with his fingertips, his movements as light as if he were wiping a rare treasure.

For the girl at this moment, Xu Chuan was everything.

"Let's go home."

Those four simple words made Yura's tears flow even more fiercely.

She cried and laughed at the same time, nodding vigorously.

"Well, go home."

Everything in the house is exactly as I remember it.

The cushions on the sofa were placed in her usual spot, the teacup on the table, and the book on the windowsill was still turned to the page she hadn't finished reading.

The air was thick with the scent of the place where the two of them once lived.

In a daze, Yura felt that the two of them had never been apart.

She only went out on patrol for a day, and Xu Chuan stayed at home waiting for her to return.

After pushing open the door, you will see the person you have been longing for.

"That's wonderful," Yura murmured softly.

Xu Chuan gently hugged her. "The future will be even better."

Yura buried her head in the warm chest, her cheek pressed against the fabric, listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat.

One after another, it brought a sense of reassurance.

"Mmm." She closed her eyes.

The two cooked together.

Yura chops the vegetables, and Xu Chuan cooks.

Their seamless teamwork, the clanging of spatulas mingling with their laughter, filled the small kitchen.

Xu Chuan modified the Liyue cuisine according to Yura's taste, making each dish look the way she liked.

To cater to Xu Chuan's preferences, Yura learned to cook a few Mondstadt dishes that she hadn't liked before, but he did, so she learned to make them.

The dishes were served, and the two sat facing each other.

Yura picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in her mouth, chewed it, and squinted her eyes. "Delicious."

"Then eat more."

"You too."

The chopsticks met above the plate, the two looked at each other, and both smiled.

As night deepened, the cave in the snow-capped mountain remained warm and cozy, like springtime.

Yura was unusually clingy today.

No matter what they do, he refuses to leave Xu Chuan's side for even a moment, like a clingy cat, following him wherever he goes.

Steam rose from the bathtub.

The two of them were crammed together in a small space, unable to move freely.

But Yura didn't care. She leaned against Xu Chuan's chest, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her whole body against him.

Hot water washed over their shoulders, steaming their skin until it turned red.

The girl's pretty face was already rosy, and the steam added to her allure; her eyes were captivating.

Especially her alluring cherry lips, slightly parted, made it impossible to look away.

Xu Chuan's breathing grew heavy as he placed his hands on the girl's slender waist.

“It’s beautiful,” he said softly.

Yura wrapped her arms around his neck, her pretty face slowly drawing closer.

The cherry lips were pressed against, the soft touch followed by a deeper penetration.

The force of this kiss is like kneading all the unspoken words into a powerful kiss.

Xu Chuan, not to be outdone, responded to the girl's passionate feelings.

Hot water overflowed from the rim of the bucket, splashing water onto the floor.

Their breaths mingled, making it impossible to tell whose was whose.

That night, Yura displayed astonishing passion.

It was as if she wanted to make up for the days they had been apart, or as if she was afraid he would leave tomorrow, so she wanted to save all her tenderness for tonight.

The bed groaned under the strain.

Xu Chuan was glad he had used projection magic to enhance his abilities, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to withstand Yura's antics.

Night had fallen, and the fatigue from the strenuous exercise finally took over. Yura lay on top of Xu Chuan, her long hair cascading over his chest, rising and falling gently with her breath.

Her face still held the joy from before, her lips were upturned, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Xu Chuan gently stroked her back, enjoying the warmth and tranquility of the moment.

Of course, if it were me, whose life realm hadn't improved, I really wouldn't be able to handle it.

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed in through the window and fell onto the bed.

Yura slowly woke up, her eyelashes fluttering a few times before she slowly opened her eyes.
