Chapter 439

~6 min read 1,146 words

Aether felt a bit sad, but more than that, he felt glad for Lumine.

She doesn't need his concern anymore. Conversely, the current Lumine can take care of him in turn.

Even in the future, Lumine can protect him.

They are biological siblings after all, and Aether hoped from the bottom of his heart that Lumine could get better and better.

"I understand."

Aether nodded slightly and said softly:

"Then I wish you great martial luck..."

"That's for sure!"

Lumine raised her head proudly.

"I am a genius who is going to master the Sect Master's Divine Sword Art of Thunder. If even a Jiu You Secret Realm can stump me, then I'd better find a piece of tofu and hit myself to death as soon as possible."

Aether's eyes were melancholy. After a moment of silence, he said faintly:

"I can no longer see your future. You have to walk your own path in the future, but no matter what, you should be stronger than me."

Listening to Aether's rare sincere words, Lumine paused and still persuaded:

"Seriously, Aether, why don't you come to Shushan with me."

"Your talent can't be bad. If I bring you in, I can tell the Sect Master."

"As long as you pass the Three-Fold Heart Questioning, you can also become an inner disciple."

It must be said that Aether was really a bit tempted.

But thinking of his promise five hundred years ago and the large group of subordinates who were a bit brainless and often did unreliable things.

Aether still resisted the temptation and shook his head.

"You have your path to walk, and I have my mission to complete."

"You don't need to worry about me. When the time is right, I will go to Shushan."

Lumine didn't reply, just stared at Aether quietly.

They were siblings after all. Although Aether didn't say it, Lumine could guess that what Aether was going to do was very dangerous.

After a long while, she sighed, and Lumine said helplessly:

"Whatever you want, but don't die."

Aether let out the first sincere laugh of the day.

"Don't worry, I won't die that easily. Besides, isn't there you? You've already cultivated immortality, and you're a Divine Body. Your power is also recovering, and you'll become strong soon."

"Huh? If you want me to save you, that won't be solved by just one 'Big Sister'."

Lumine smiled wickedly. Her mood, which had just gotten better, turned bad again.

She turned her head and stopped looking at Aether, saying impatiently:

"Go quickly, I have many things to do."

"You are clearly asking me for help! Do you have the attitude of asking for help!"

Lumine spat and muttered:

"Dog thing!"

"If you scold me like that, you're scolding yourself."

Aether suddenly retorted to Lumine happily.

The latter didn't want to bother with him anymore, turned around, and walked toward Liyue Harbor with Paimon.

"By the way."

Suddenly, Lumine seemed to remember something.

"I remember the Sect Master mentioned a kind of pill called Blood Energy Pill, which is a cultivation pill that ordinary martial artists will eat."

"The refining materials are very simple, and refining is not difficult. I happen to have a good relationship with Senior Sister Lisa. Do you want it?"

Hearing this, Aether's eyes lit up and he nodded.

"If you have it, that couldn't be better."

"I just asked casually, and you really want it!"

Lumine curled her lips.

"You are really shameless."

Aether waved his hand indifferently.

"For the sake of becoming stronger! It's not shameful. Then I'll leave it to you."

Lumine didn't answer again and accelerated her speed to leave with Paimon.

Looking at Lumine's back, Aether sighed faintly and hid into the void.

In the end...

He still became the person he hated the most back then.

Begging for flowers.

Didn't gnaw on the old, but gnawed on the sister, huh.

After the Aether incident, Lumine had no interest in wandering around Liyue Harbor.

Paimon thought it didn't matter. If it were before, she would be thinking about the food in Liyue Harbor.

But now, Paimon, who had tasted fierce beast meat and demon beast meat, no longer took Teyvat's food to heart.

Just kidding, even the ancient wild boar meat frozen for hundreds of years, can it be more delicious than the meat of a wild boar at the early stage of Foundation Establishment?

Paimon today, having eaten fine grain, couldn't eat coarse bran.

The two of them discussed it and strolled around Liyue Harbor briefly to see the impact of the current cultivation trend on Liyue Harbor.

They decisively flew to the Jade Chamber on their swords.

This scene shocked many Liyue people again.

Who knew that the little girl walking beside them was actually a cultivator and even flew away directly on a sword.

Looking at her destination, it was clearly the Jade Chamber. Even ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare to fly there casually.

That was the territory of Lady Ningguang, an inner disciple of Shushan.

Those who could fly up were clearly inner disciples.

Curious Liyue people inquired and found out that it was Lumine and Paimon, the current Honorary Guest of Liyue and inner Divine Body genius.

Immediately, there was another burst of emotion.

Inside the Northland Bank, the Cryo Archon and others who took everything into their eyes looked at Lumine's direction thoughtfully.

After a while, the Cryo Archon looked at Tartaglia and asked:

"How is your relationship with the Traveler and the others?"

"Relationship?"

Tartaglia scratched his cheek and asked tentatively:

"We fought once, does that count?"

"..."

After the Cryo Archon was silent for a moment, she said with a look of "hating iron for not becoming steel":

"It's really a waste of opportunity for you to go to Shushan! Is fighting your only way of communication?"

"This... actually, we've spoken a few words."

Tartaglia laughed dryly and said seriously:

"Lumine cultivates the Sect Master's simplified version of the Divine Sword Art of Thunder, and she has a Divine Body. I was killed by her in one move, and then I praised Lumine's cultivation for being profound."

"Can that be considered harmonious communication?"

The Cryo Archon opened her mouth, but after a long while, there was only a sigh.

"Find a way to get closer to them. Since Mondstadt and Liyue can invite them to hold positions, Snezhnaya might not be unable to."

"Two Divine Bodies have too much strategic significance at the cultivation level."

Tartaglia was also a bit embarrassed and nodded repeatedly.

"I'll remember it."

On the Jade Chamber.

At this time, Seeing Zhongli and the others had all arrived, but they were all sitting at the long table, and no one spoke.

A sword light flashed, and Lumine and Paimon landed quietly. Looking at the situation of the crowd, they breathed a sigh of relief.
