Chapter 28

【Albedo】: The snowy mountain is very large, the probability of meeting is not high. If both sides are lucky, it is indeed possible to meet.

【Klee】: (Klee: Yay)

【Lumine】: It's best to go to places that are freezing cold less often.

【Paimon】: Only warm Seelies can give me a sense of security!

【Columbina】: Poor kin...

【Kaeya】: What?

【Xingqiu】: What does "poor kin" mean?

【Collei】: How can someone speak only half of what they mean!

【Lumine】: Riddle-makers get out of Teyvat!

【Kaeya】: Seconded!

【Diluc】: Don't forget, you are also a riddle-maker.

【Kaeya retracted a message】

【Kaeya】: Haha, it's really "the mountain looks close but the journey is long." They could see the scenery of the snowy mountain from a high place, but it took Gu Chen and the others several days!

【Diluc】: Stiff change of subject.

【Neuvillette】: From far away, I can see the strange scene on the snowy mountain. In that valley, it seems like the remains of some kind of giant beast left behind?

【Albedo】: That's right, it's the evil dragon Durin. It fell here, and slowly it formed this appearance.

【La Signora】: Good riddance, it would be best to grind its bones to dust!

【Lumine】: You hate the evil dragon Durin that much? Heh, resurrect, Durin!!

【Jean】: @【Lumine】 Don't! The evil dragon Durin brought too much pain to the people of Mondstadt, please don't make such jokes.

【Lumine】: Okay.

【Lisa】: Remember that Albedo's camp on the snowy mountain is above Wyrmrest Valley. Will they meet?

In the video.

The three have arrived at the outskirts of the snowy mountain.

Before they even went deep into the snowy mountain, the wind blowing around them carried a biting cold.

"Don't catch a cold."

Gu Chen took off his coat and draped it over Lumine. Lumine looked at him worriedly: "What about you?"

"I'm fine." Gu Chen shook his head.

His powerful physique allowed Gu Chen to remain indifferent when facing such cold wind and snow.

Paimon huddled into Lumine's arms, and Gu Chen led the way in front.

The three walked into Wyrmrest Valley against the wind and snow.

Crystal snowflakes drifted down, and soon Gu Chen's short sleeves were soaked, sticking to his body.

Lumine took a secret peek, and her pretty face, already flushed from the cold, turned even redder.

【Hu Tao】: Abs!!! (Barbara: Shy)

【Kirara】: Is this, is this something I can watch?! (Barbara: Shy)

【Lisa】: Gu Chen little cutie is truly the type who looks thin in clothes and muscular out of them~

【Arataki Itto】: @【Gu Chen】 Bro, where did you train these muscles?

【Gu Chen】: I don't know about the past life, anyway, I didn't train them now, they just became like this naturally. (Shrug)

【Venti】: Can I touch them? (Venti: Expectant starry eyes)

【Seeing Zhongli】: (Subway old man phone)

【Dvalin】: Barbatos, you make me feel disgusted!

Gu Chen: "..."

Venti! Do you want to see what you're saying?!

"Stay away from me!"

Gu Chen felt a chill and moved away from Venti with a look of disgust.

"Ehe!"

"Don't be so heartless~"

Venti said with a smile.

"Watch your video properly!" Gu Chen stared at him vigilantly.

"Okay, okay."

Venti was dejected and his attention returned to the video.

Gu Chen and the others in the video were already inside Wyrmrest Valley.

They were shocked to see the huge remains that had merged with the snowy mountain.

Bang!

Gu Chen punched a rib.

The strong force caused the rib to vibrate, dropping a large amount of snow.

"This punch didn't cause any damage, and this is just a rib... It seems the strength of these bones is very strong, suitable for making weapons!" Gu Chen gave his conclusion.

"Can such big bones also be used to make weapons?!" Paimon was a bit surprised.

"Of course. Such weapons are also more suitable for me. Having a handy weapon can also better protect you all." Gu Chen smiled and said.

"Hehe~"

Hearing Gu Chen say this, Paimon's eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, her smile looking silly yet cute.

Lumine also showed a smile after hearing this.

【Klee】: Little Paimon is so cute!

【Shikanoin Heizou】: Paimon looks like the type who isn't very smart.

【Paimon】: Stop scolding me!

【Yae Miko】: Look at Lumine, it's a happy smile of feeling safe~ (Hu Tao: Smirk)

Lumine, who was on her way to Liyue, didn't want to say anything anymore.

She tried to stand from an outsider's perspective, and Gu Chen was really very good to her in the past life!

Also, when Gu Chen said that sentence about being able to better protect them, even as a spectator, the present-life Lumine felt a strong sense of security in her heart.

Separated from her brother, having lost her power, facing this strange world alone, embarking on a journey to find her brother, with only a little guy by her side.

At this time, a reliable man appeared, taking care of her everywhere, giving her a strong sense of security. It was a feeling of being able to rely on someone.

Lumine stopped and stood still.

Even though she has nothing to do with Gu Chen in this life, why does she suddenly feel that Gu Chen occupies a small spot in her heart, and it's growing more and more as the video plays?

Could it be that I really love Gu Chen?

Lumine was confused.

"Lumine, look, we met Albedo."

Paimon, who didn't notice Lumine's expression, spoke up.

Lumine then regained her focus.

The three in the video had already met Albedo.

After a brief exchange, the generous teacher Albedo decided to help with his precious instruments.

The four people found a location and began to dig deep into the spine of Durin's remains.

【Dvalin】: My back hurts faintly!

【Azhdaha】: It's a pity Durin is dead, otherwise he could have joined us!

【Azhdaha】: Tiny ants, stop what you're doing! You are insulting the noble dragon race!!

【Venti】: Um, Durin is an artificial dragon.

【Azhdaha retracted a message】

【Azhdaha】: Farewell, I'm going to prepare for the plan to suppress Morax.

【Ganyu】: Senior Azhdaha, Lord Barbatos and Lord Furina are both in the group. Is there a possibility that the Lord is also in the group, just not speaking? (Paimon: Surprised)

【Azhdaha】: So what if he is? I am not that rat Morax. I'll tell him openly, what can he do?!

【Seeing Zhongli】:...

Has his brain been eroded so severely? ===== CHAPTER 30 =====
