Chapter 34

"Oh, right!"

Paimon suddenly realized.

She floated to the side with her hands behind her back, giggling foolishly: "It's so good to have Gu Chen here~"

Lumine had also been a bit uneasy, but after hearing Gu Chen say this, she felt very much at ease.

Morax died, but it wasn't me who did it, so why run?

Lumine even wanted to see Morax's body up close; after all, she had never seen such a creature that was half-dragon and half-qilin.

【Paimon】: See clearly now, in any case, it definitely wasn't Lumine or me who did it!

【Gu Chen】: Does that mean it was me? (Shrugs)

【Paimon】: Pfft, that's not what I meant! I meant that in this world, Lumine and I are on our way to Liyue for the Rite of Descension. If the Geo Archon really has unfortunately fallen, please remember not to suspect the two of us!

【Ningguang】: We will send people to host you both when the time comes. Besides, there is no intention to suspect you two. As long as there is no suspicion, everyone will be free to leave.

【Lumine】: Remembered! I, the Traveler, act openly and honestly!

【Venti】: Who was the one who stole the Holy Lyre der Himmel in reality? (Confused)

【Lumine】:...

【Kaeya】: The slap in the face is always unexpected.

【Keqing】: Rational analysis: if Mr. Gu Chen were not there, looking at Miss Lumine and Paimon's expressions, it seems they were prepared to run. What kind of psychology do these two have to even have such thoughts? (Keqing·Question)

【Shikanoin Heizou】: If you do no evil, you fear no ghost knocking at your door. Miss Lumine, confession brings leniency!

【Lumine】: I don't know either! (Collei·No response)

Lumine, walking toward Liyue Harbor, was deep in thought.

She had met a person named Dainsleif in Mondstadt, who gave her a lot of information.

And in her past life, together with Gu Chen, she did not meet Dainsleif. So, did her past self vaguely feel something?

"Lumine, the Tianquan said she would host us well. She is the wealthiest person in Liyue, there must be lots of delicious food, right?" Paimon said very happily.

Interrupted like this, Lumine came back to her senses and nodded with a smile.

Things she couldn't figure out, she wouldn't think about for now. In short, the video's exposure brought Lumine quite a few positive benefits. She had already met Liyue group members before even arriving in Liyue, making travel much more convenient!

"Lumine, wait, something happened!"

Paimon exclaimed.

Lumine looked around, then her gaze fell on the light curtain.

In the video.

The three of them, standing calmly, were in the crowd observing Morax's body.

"It looks weird. It's not quite a dragon, not quite scaled, it looks like a loach." Paimon said, rubbing her chin.

【Azhdaha】: Morax has a new nickname, the God of Loaches! (Klee·Yay)

【Osial】: Morax looks like this? A few yellowish hairs plus a dark body, looks like a pile of dung.

【Zhongli】:...

【Keqing】: Osial, please watch your language!

【Azhdaha】: Well scolded! (Venti·Scattering flowers)

【Ganyu】: Azhdaha-senior's erosion is too severe... (Ganyu·Annoyed)

【Beisht】: @【Osial】 Be cautious, it is not yet certain whether Morax is dead or alive!

【Osial】: @【Beisht】 He's mostly dead. I've scolded him like this and he still doesn't come to hit me. Morax's temper isn't that good! So, on the day of the Rite of Descension, be sure to come on time to help me break the seal, and then we will go save Azhdaha and plot a great cause together!

【Azhdaha】: Hahaha, very good. When I break the seal and emerge, after taking control of Liyue, we will march north to Mondstadt, west to Sumeru, south to Inazuma, and east to the outer seas. Then the world will be divided in two, and you and I will each take half! (Paimon·Leave it to me)

【Nahida】: Ah, this... (Dazed)

【Furina】: Why not attack Fontaine? Do you look down on Fontaine? (Qiqi·Lying down)

【Neuvillette】:...

Neuvillette had discovered that ever since Furina joined the chat group, she rarely went to the Opéra Epiclese, instead spending every day chatting in the group, tireless and happy.

Her current remarks were so outrageous that Neuvillette almost fainted from darkness upon seeing them.

Lady Furina!! Do you really want Fontaine to be attacked?!

【Keqing】: Stop messing around, there's an accident!

In the video.

After observing Morax's body, Gu Chen and the other two were preparing to accept questioning from the Millelith.

Just as the Millelith stepped forward, several streams of Hydro energy flew from afar, knocking several Millelith to the ground.

Immediately after, a tall Abyss Mage wearing a deep blue cotton coat, a white mask on his face, and holding a staff appeared, waving at Gu Chen and the others: "Ahahaha, partners, the mission is complete, retreat quickly!"

【Prince】:?

Why would an Abyss Mage appear inside Liyue City?

Aether was stunned. Did he have this plan?

In the video.

The Abyss Mage's voice was very loud, and for a moment, many citizens at the scene heard it.

"Who are you?"

Paimon was stunned.

Gu Chen's mouth twitched.

We were standing here clean and innocent waiting for inspection, and you had to pop out, knock down the Millelith, and act like we're very close.

Do we even know you?!

"Catch them!"

The Millelith reacted very quickly.

"The Abyss Mage is a disguise, he is deliberately framing us! The bad thing is... it just so happens that our strength is not weak, and we have the possibility of assassinating the Geo Archon; even if this possibility is minimal, we have already been linked to the Abyss Order, and this suspicion will only continue to grow. Even if we clear our names in the end, it will waste us at least several months of time... Retreat first!" Gu Chen shook his head helplessly.

【Kaeya】: I thought I was already despicable enough, but I didn't expect there to be someone even more despicable. Whose subordinate is this?

The three were forced to retreat with the Abyss Mage, and after arriving in the suburbs.

The Abyss Mage took off his disguise, revealing a tall, slender young man with short orange hair and a youthful face. It was none other than Tartaglia!

"Three, welcome to the game." Tartaglia opened his arms with a full face of smiles.

【Paimon】: No, @【Tartaglia】 are you sick? What good does it do you to disguise yourself as the Abyss Order to frame us?!

【Tartaglia】: Don't ask me! I'm confused myself! (Collei·No response)

【Lumine】: @【Ningguang】 @【Keqing】 @【Ganyu】 My lords! We are wronged!! (Crying loudly)
