Chapter 625

"I've heard of many things, but a Yaksha afraid of ghosts is a first for me."

A strange voice drifted over from the shore.

The tone, laced with mockery and devoid of any malice, left the group feeling suspicious and uneasy.

Seeing that the person seemed to have no immediate intention of attacking, the six of them scrambled out of the pool as fast as they could, not even bothering to wipe off the water dripping from their clothes, and stood on the other side, warily sizing up the figure in the darkness.

Paimon felt like complaining; they had finally found the domain and navigated the mechanisms to find a path, only to jump from one cave into another.

Arataki Itto gathered his courage and asked, "You... how do you know I'm a Yaksha?"

As he asked, he felt a bit strange; the voice sounded oddly familiar.

Kuki Shinobu had the same thought, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

Yanfei whispered, "Be careful, this space is very strange."

"Lumine, little one, I didn't expect you to forget me after such a short time apart."

The figure in the darkness walked out helplessly, appearing in the light reflected by the pool.

Half of his body emerged into the faint blue glow, and Luo Li surveyed them with a light, airy gaze.

"Mr. Luo Li?!"

Lumine and Paimon were startled; they never expected it to be him. No wonder they felt he was familiar just now.

"It's me. Did you mistake me for an enemy just now?"

"Hehehe, well, this place is just too weird!"

The moment his identity was confirmed, Paimon couldn't wait to fly toward him.

She had been terrified before, and having finally found a powerful backer, her sense of security exploded, and she couldn't wait to stick to him.

Luo Li picked Paimon up with one hand, poked her cheek, and then asked the others.

"How did you end up here?"

At this moment, Miss Yelan and Yanfei also approached him.

Everyone present knew Luo Li's identity and was aware of his noble status and immense power, so they immediately found their backbone, and the atmosphere was no longer as stifling as before.

Yanfei cautiously recounted everything that had happened, including hearing Xiao's voice, which led the group to chase into the domain and arrive here.

"I see."

Luo Li muttered thoughtfully, "So that girl created two different paths inside the Divine Fatui."

If his guess was correct, the Star Sea space was a trap set for those with great strength, while those who were weaker would be transported elsewhere.

Hearing the familiar term, Yanfei couldn't help but ask in surprise, "You said... the Divine Fatui?"

Judging by his meaning, the group was already inside the Divine Fatui?!

"What is it?"

"Did Your Majesty also come for the Divine Fatui?"

"This thing was a treasure I once gave to Lady Guizhong. Now that it's lost here, I naturally have to take it back."

Yanfei's eyes widened slightly; so the Divine Fatui had such an origin.

While surprised, she noticed Luo Li's gaze sweeping around, and she couldn't help but follow his lead.

She discovered they were in a sealed cave, but unlike before, the stone walls were covered with five doors.

The doors were tightly shut, and it was unknown what mysteries were hidden inside.

"Look, everyone, what are those doors for?"

Kuki Shinobu pointed at the multiple doors, her eyes full of questions.

Paimon put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "At a time like this, of course, we need Mr. Luo Li to answer that!"

Since it was his treasure, he was obviously familiar with the structure inside.

However, to her surprise, Luo Li shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Lady Guizhong modified all the mechanisms inside, making it unrecognizable; it's completely different from when I first gave it to her."

"If even you don't know, how are we supposed to get out?!"

Luo Li raised an eyebrow slightly: "Getting out isn't difficult. I can send you out at any time. Are you sure you want to leave?"

Paimon was just about to happily agree when she heard Miss Yelan firmly refuse: "Please, Your Majesty, let me continue exploring. I want to find out the whereabouts of my ancestors, the records of their final words, and the truth about the Khaenri'ah disaster."

Yanfei also earnestly agreed: "Although you have come in person, Your Majesty, I must fulfill the promise I made to my grandmother!"

Seeing this, Arataki Itto and Kuki Shinobu exchanged glances, and excitement gradually appeared in their eyes.

Now that His Majesty Luo Li had appeared and guaranteed he could send them out at any time, their safety was assured, and they had more room to think.

For example, they became curious about the Divine Fatui and the secrets hidden in Liyue's The Chasm, wanting to take a peek.

Lumine and Paimon went without saying; it was impossible for them to leave the others behind.

Seeing that everyone present had received a guarantee of safety and was eager to try, Luo Li felt he didn't need to ask anymore.

"Don't wander around later; I can guarantee your safety."

Although it wouldn't matter if they did wander, he still had to warn them beforehand to prevent them from being too relaxed and causing themselves trouble.

The group quickly agreed, not daring to offer the slightest rebuttal.

Seeing that the group was very well-behaved, Luo Li nodded slightly, but at this moment, Lumine looked like she had something to say.

"Lumine, what is it?"

The blonde girl hesitated: "We heard Xiao's voice earlier; he seemed to be fighting. Could he be in danger?"

Luo Li pondered for a moment, "Since you are worried about him, I will bring him over as well."

He didn't think Xiao would encounter a situation that was too dangerous, because Lady Guizhong's original intention in setting up the Divine Fatui was to trap and bind, not to kill, so the lethality was limited.

Bring him over as well?

Before the group could understand the meaning of this sentence, Luo Li took action.

Inside the Divine Fatui, even though it had been modified beyond recognition by Lady Guizhong, it could not, to a certain extent, prevent Luo Li from exercising his power.

It was simply not too easy to find someone.
