Chapter 185

Furina: "The wounds of the heart are the most painful. My husband is truly the warmest man."

Buer: "Little sister Furina, he is everyone's husband."

Hu Tao: "Hey, this isn't the time to talk about Su Bai being everyone's husband. The Lord of Stability in the light screen seems truly shocked by the future."

Consultant Zhongli: "Hall Master, shouldn't you be concerned about your future self? Looking at your situation, it seems you won't be able to hold on for much longer."

Hu Tao: "It's fine, hasn't the Lord of Stability already gone to the future?"

Cloud Retainer: "Hmph, it's enough that the fellow went."

Ganyu: "Indeed. I just never expected that in one lifetime, I would become the senior sister of a samsara traveler. I am quite content."

Tianquan Ningguang: "I can also count as someone who signed a contract with Mr. Su Bai from a young age."

Keqing: "I... sigh. Fortunately, we share a love for Golden Shrimp Balls. I wonder if the Su Bai of this life still has a taste for them."

Su Bai: "I am in Liyue Harbor right now, and none of you have offered to treat me to a meal. (Sigh · Venti)"

Arataki Itto: "Hahaha, Hu Tao hit the nail on the head. Wherever Su Bai is, even if it's very sad, he makes people laugh instantly."

Osial: "Master Su is so pitiful. He's been playing on the slide for ages, Klee is almost asleep, and no one has even come to look at him."

Seeing Shenhe: "(Stare · Seeing Shenhe)"

Eula: "Don't laugh, you guys. I was just tearing up, and now you're acting silly again. Su Bai, really, why did you suddenly interrupt?"

Venti: "Make Consultant Zhongli treat you, old Su. With our status, we must be hosted personally by the Geo Archon."

Consultant Zhongli: "Sigh, it seems I must temporarily break my principles and create some Mora to treat you."

Venti: "Wait a moment, I'm coming right over."

Paimon: "I guessed it would be like this."

["The Liyue of now is no longer the Liyue of the past."]

["Lord of Stability, I truly don't know what your mood would be if you saw the Liyue of today."]

["Is the place you went to hell, or is the world we are in hell?"]

["Hu Tao can no longer tell."]

["After accepting the fact that you died, everyone is still trying hard to live."]

["So you must also live well in that world."]

["Don't worry, Hu Tao will actually leave here soon and head to the world where you are."]

["Hu Tao is going to be liberated."]

["..."]

[Su Bai's mind is filled with Hu Tao's self-talk after paying her respects.]

[Wandering the streets of Liyue, he truly understood the meaning of Hu Tao's words, and what the mysterious woman called a living hell.]

[The once bustling Liyue Harbor is now dilapidated.]

[When the wind blows gently, it kicks up gusts of sand and dust.]

[In the corners of the streets, one can even see things lying motionless like corpses.]

[People are wrapped in sheets, acting paranoid.]

[Upon seeing Su Bai, they flee in terror.]

Although Su Bai's interruption just now eased the atmosphere in the live stream room significantly.

The content appearing on the light screen instantly dragged everyone's mood back into the depths.

Is the land Su Bai stepped onto really the once-prosperous Liyue Harbor?

If not for the existence of a few iconic ruined buildings, no one would mistake it for Liyue Harbor.

The streets are full of sand, gravel, and broken glass.

If not for the few people fleeing in terror on the streets, anyone would take this place for a dead city.

In fact, it is not much different from a dead city.

Buer: "Ugh, this... is this really the Liyue of the future? This..."

Neuvillette: "Impossible. What exactly happened to Liyue? Why has it become this scene?"

Consultant Zhongli: "What on earth is going on?"

Tianquan Ningguang: "This... Liyue... why has Liyue become like this?"

Enjou: "Could it be another invasion from an otherworldly realm?"

Aether: "Unlikely. With Su Bai's strength, if he had died due to an otherworldly invasion, the figures from that world would have wiped out Liyue Harbor with a wave of their hands. The Liyue in the light screen is clearly desolate due to the lack of living breath for a long time."

Baizhu: "I understand. Judging from Hall Master Hu Tao's mental state, she must have contracted some kind of curse. I think it's not just her; those people lying motionless in the corners must have also died because of the curse."

Alhaitham: "Understood. Like the Withering under the spread of Forbidden Knowledge."

Kujou Sara: "Then they could completely find a way to live elsewhere. Our Teyvat has more than just Liyue. Surely everyone would have a way to cope."

Dainsleif: "No, with a catastrophe of this magnitude, other nations would be afraid too."

Yae Miko: "I don't think it's that simple. Perhaps other nations are the same as Liyue, suffering the same devastating disaster. Otherwise, how could it alarm Celestia? The situation is definitely even more terrifying than it is now."

Lynette: "Ah, it's already terrifying now. Could things get even worse?"

[Su Bai wanders the streets of Liyue Harbor.]

[Just as Hu Tao said, what would Su Bai think if he saw such a scene?]

[Su Bai only feels his mind is empty.]

[The mysterious woman who brought him to the future also gave no explanation.]

[Hu Tao's presence gives Su Bai the feeling that she is on the verge of death; Su Bai dares not rashly disturb her.]

[For a moment, Su Bai is left in disarray on the streets of Liyue.]

["Damn it..."]

["What on earth has happened?"]

[Su Bai bites his lip.]

[If this is truly the future of Liyue, then the future of the Liyue he is in will also become like this.]

[To prevent all this from happening, Su Bai's primary task is to find the cause.]

[However, the streets are filled with either corpses or people who have gone insane.]

[At this moment, even Su Bai feels a headache.]

["Yo, where did this little brother come from?"]

["Your clothes look quite fancy."]

["Hurry up and hand over all the Mora in your hands to me."]

[At a critical moment, an arrogant voice gives Su Bai hope.]

[He looks up.]

[A dozen masked men walk toward him. Judging by their attire, they are clearly Treasure Hoarders.]

[Unfortunately, they don't seem very intelligent.]

["Boss, robbing Mora is useless to us now."]

["That's right, Boss. In this environment, we need to rob food to survive."]

["I don't want to go back to... ah... it's too terrifying."]

["Ah, right, right. Little brother, hurry up and hand over the food in your hands, or we'll have to stew you to feed my brothers."]

[Fortunately, there are a few minions with their wits about them.]

[Su Bai feels like he has met a savior, and for a moment, he feels like he could weep.]

Keqing: "Sigh, I can imagine what kind of Liyue this is. It truly is a living hell."

Hu Tao: "Sigh... I finally understand why my future self was crying. Perhaps death is a liberation, but I would rather see the bustling Liyue Harbor of the past."

Cloud Retainer: "Alas, this immortal's heart can't take much more."

Buer: "But I discovered something truly remarkable. In such an environment, the people of Liyue are actually offering Golden Shrimp Balls to Su Bai?"

Azhdaha: "Hmph! This is exactly what we people of Liyue should do."

Tianquan Ningguang: "No wonder the tombstones of others are empty. Those who offer to Su Bai must surely view him as more important than their own lives."

Tianquan Ningguang: "It's a pity I am already accompanying him on his left."

Keqing: "I am on the right."

Lisa: "Even if Su Bai is dead, he still has company on both sides, huh?"
