Chapter 49

"A bomb as big as a mushroom?"

Han Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, yeah! That bomb Papa made yesterday—boom! It blew the Stormterror away in one go!"

"And then a huge mushroom appeared in the sky!"

Little Klee used her hands to gesture, recounting what had happened in Mondstadt yesterday.

"So Stormterror wasn't driven away by Lumine after all..."

Hearing this news, Han Feng rubbed his chin.

It seemed that with his interference, the established trajectory had begun to change.

But, at least it wasn't a bad thing.

Nahida, on the side, was also lost in thought.

Stormterror's attack!

The Traveler appears!

Then there was no need to doubt it!

The *Genshin Impact* game plot was real!

Thinking of this, she became even more expectant about their future visit to miHoYo.

She wondered what the plot for version 3.2 would be?

"Papa, can you? Can you?"

Klee hugged Han Feng's arm and began to act spoiled.

She really liked that bomb that could create mushrooms.

"Of course I can!"

"But there's no time right now; I'll teach you when I have some free time later."

"Once you learn, you can go to Liyue to blast fish!"

Han Feng pinched Klee's nose.

"Yay!"

Klee cheered excitedly.

She then ran to Nahida's side and said happily:

"Nahida, once I learn how to make mushroom bombs, I'll go to your place and blow up all the bad guys."

"This... perhaps we should adopt a gentler approach."

"Sumeru has many trees; it wouldn't be good if they caught fire."

Nahida described the severity of the situation to Klee.

"Ah... catch... catch fire?"

Little Klee was startled.

"Burn the mountains, Klee is done for!"

She remembered the Knights of Favonius survival rules very clearly.

It seemed she couldn't use that, then.

She would have to think of other ways later.

While the two little ones were whispering to each other, Han Feng began his daily blind box opening.

"System, open the dual-world door!"

Rumble~

Accompanied by a dull sound, the familiar stone door appeared once again.

This scene instantly attracted the attention of the two little girls on the sofa.

"Papa, isn't it too early for Klee to go back?"

Little Klee was a bit confused.

"It's not for you to go back, but to invite new guests over."

"Just like you two before, and like Hu Tao yesterday."

Han Feng explained with a smile.

"So that's how it is!"

The two realized.

Then, their gazes turned toward the stone door, their little faces full of anticipation.

……

The continent of Teyvat.

Mondstadt.

After the initial resolution of the Stormterror crisis yesterday, the place had fallen into a brief peace.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jean began to take action.

First, she had to deal with the three abandoned Temples of the Four Winds.

The reason Stormterror was able to whip up a storm of that magnitude was by borrowing the power within those temples.

This was something they had already learned in advance through the game's plot.

But because they had to defend against Stormterror's attacks previously, they hadn't been able to resolve it.

Now was the time!

Thus, Jean took Kaeya, Lisa, and other Knights of Favonius and began heading toward the abandoned temples.

As for finding the Anemo Archon and purifying the dragon tears, Jean entrusted that to the Traveler, Lumine.

Because only she had this ability.

At this moment, Lumine, Paimon, and Amber arrived beneath the Statue of the Anemo Archon.

"The tone-deaf bard is actually here!"

Paimon was surprised to see Venti among the crowd ahead.

This nickname, "tone-deaf bard," was something she had learned from the game.

She thought it was quite good.

So she used it.

"Let's wait until the Anemo Archon... until Venti finishes his performance before we go over."

"It shouldn't take long."

Amber suggested.

Lumine and Paimon had no objections.

After waiting for a short while, seeing that Venti's performance had ended and the crowd was leaving,

the three of them hurried over.

"Yo, it's you guys!"

Seeing Lumine and the others, Venti greeted them with a smile.

He knew all three of them.

One was an Outrider of the Knights of Favonius.

One was the out-of-world Traveler who had peeked at his "date" with Dvalin yesterday.

"Hello there, tone-deaf... Venti!"

Paimon hurriedly spoke halfway through her sentence.

Because she suddenly felt it wasn't good to call someone by a nickname the first time they met.

Thinking of this, she recalled the scene from yesterday where Amber suddenly changed her words.

What she must have wanted to say back then was "emergency food," right?

Damn it!

Paimon is not that!

Paimon gave Amber a resentful look.

？？？

Amber felt a bit confused.

"You know me?"

Venti was a bit surprised.

"That goes without saying, you're the three-time consecutive champion of Mondstadt's Most Beloved Bard!"

Little Paimon shook her finger, signaling that she knew.

Before Venti could react, a mischievous smirk appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"And you're also the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, right?"

Venti: "???"

There's a mole, stop the trade... ah, no, wait,

I've been exposed just like that?

"Alright Paimon, let's get straight to the point."

Lumine walked up and took out a shining dragon tear.

"I have the ability to purify tear crystals. Let's go find Stormterror, that is, Dvalin, to collect some, and then go get the Holy Lyre der Himmel."

Although she was anxious to know news about her brother,

the most important thing right now was still resolving the dragon disaster.

As for the rest, she would ask Venti later.

"???"

Venti was even more bewildered now.

Good grief!

I haven't said anything yet!

You've already stripped away all my thoughts?

Having been completely exposed, Venti didn't bother playing dumb anymore.

"You guys, who exactly are you?"

"And how do you know all this?"

"Hehe..."

Paimon crossed her hands behind her back, full of smiles.

Venti: "???"

Seeing this scene, Amber couldn't help but hold back her laughter.

The Anemo Archon, who had been fooling the Traveler in the game the whole time, was now actually being controlled by a floating object!

It really was unexpected.

But thinking that the person opposite was the Anemo Archon, she coughed twice and forcibly held back her smile.

"Ahem, Lord Barbatos, we came this time..."

Before Amber could finish her sentence, a stone door suddenly appeared nearby.

Whoosh~

The stone door slowly opened, and then a powerful suction force struck the four of them.

"Oh no, dodge quickly!"

Venti was the first to react and hurriedly issued a warning.

He then prepared to take action to stop it.

But it was already too late.

Lumine and Paimon, who were closest to the stone door, were sucked straight in.

Then, along with the stone door, they vanished without a trace.

……

PS: My lords, the book will be officially released in two days.

This little rookie needs to save up some drafts.

Because my typing speed is slow, I can only manage four chapters a day for the next two days.

Once it's released, this little rookie will unleash everything.

I beg you all for your understanding...
