Chapter 5

The content on the screen left everyone stunned.

Su Bai simply picked up Lumine and left.

No one knew where they were going.

Xia Luodi: "This is definitely big news—a Reincarnator encountered a unconscious Traveler and carried her off in abduction."

Lumine: "Please don't phrase it so frighteningly."

Paimon: "This is bad—the Traveler's been carried off, and what am I supposed to do? I haven't even made an appearance yet!"

Klorinde: "I'm curious about something, Paimon—are you and the Traveler inseparable?"

Paimon: "Ever since meeting the Traveler, we've been inseparable."

Tianquan Ningguang: "According to you, there was a time before you met the Traveler—perhaps this moment is from before your meeting."

Lumine: "Huh? So does that mean I'll miss meeting Paimon?"

Paimon: "No way—you're still confused about your memories. Without my guidance, how will you handle what comes next?"

Venti: "Don't always assume the worst. Maybe the moment you meet hasn't arrived yet."

Paimon: "That's true—I met the Traveler two months after she woke up."

【Windrise, Mondstadt.】

【In the woods, a finely crafted wooden house.】

【Light glowed from within the room.】

【Inside the room.】

【Under the effect of electric ore.】

【The lighting was very bright.】

【"Mmm..."】

【Lumine, lying on the bed, couldn't help letting out a soft sigh.】

【She slowly woke from the cozy blankets.】

【"You're awake."】

【"Do you feel better?"】

【At first, Lumine didn't react—she merely nodded instinctively.】

【Clutching her head, she still felt dazed upon waking.】

【"I saw you drowning, so I brought you home."】

【Su Bai said softly.】

【So this was the course of events.】

【Lumine gently tapped her forehead.】

【"Thank you..."】

【The words of gratitude slipped out instantly.】

【But the next second.】

【A cool breeze blew into the blankets, making her skin feel smooth.】

【Lumine's face instantly flushed red.】

【At that moment, she realized her clothes had been hung on the windowsill.】

【"Ah!"】

【A startled scream rang out.】

【Lumine clutched the blanket tightly and shouted: "Y-you y-you y-you..."】

【Immediately, Su Bai's anxious explanation came from beside her ear.】

【Su Bai extended his arm, opened his palm, and said solemnly: "I swear to heaven—I only saw your clothes soaked through, feared you'd fall ill, so I took the liberty."】

【"Of course, throughout the entire process, I kept my eyes shut—absolutely nothing I shouldn't have seen."】

Shenyuan Sect.

Aether stared blankly.

He felt a torrent of rage gathering in his chest.

"Damn Reincarnator—he actually... to Lumine..."

"Scum! Don't let me find you—if I do, I'll kill you."

Even after enduring countless storms in his travels.

Anger still stripped away the rationality of this calm Prince of the Abyss.

Had it not been for the rules of the viewing, Aether would have immediately dispatched Abyssal Apostles to scour all of Teyvat for Su Bai's whereabouts.

This was about Lumine's purity—Su Bai truly deserved to die.

Paimon: "Oh no, the Traveler's about to faint—Velelet, come help!"

Velelet: "I'm not the right one to intervene—where's Furina?"

Furina: "Oh my, this isn't such a big deal for the Traveler."

Lumine: "Scum! Is Su Bai in the livestream? Come out and explain yourself!"

Jean: "Though it feels improper, the Reincarnator's actions were truly meant for the Traveler's good."

Lisa: "He's a gentle boy."

At Su Bai's home.

Furina's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Smiling as if it had nothing to do with her: "The Traveler's looking for you—won't you respond to her?"

Respond to her?

If I respond now, won't I just get a scolding right in the face?

"You're crazy!"

"I didn't expect myself to do such a thing to her in the cycle."

"Besides, didn't I do it for her own good?"

Furina stroked her chin, pondering for a moment.

She felt Su Bai had a point.

"Indeed, your heart isn't bad, but for a girl, this kind of thing will definitely trigger a stress response."

"She'll be fine once she adjusts slowly."

【Didn't see anything you shouldn't have?】

【But you definitely touched her, right?】

【Lumine felt suffocated.】

【But in her heart, how could she not clearly understand that Su Bai did it for her own good?】

【The scene fell into an awkward silence.】

【Finally, Lumine's stomach embarrassingly let out two "gurgle" sounds.】

【Swish!】

【Lumine's already blushing pretty face turned even redder.】

【"You must be starving."】

As Su Bai spoke, he walked to the window.

【"Your clothes are still wet."】

【"I don't have any spare clothes here either."】

【He thought for a few seconds.】

Su Bai said, "I'll bring the food to you. Eat on the bed for now; don't come down just yet."

【"Once you've eaten and drunk your fill, we'll talk properly."】

Chapter 6: What did you say? Touching a Shi Laimu can grant elemental power?

【Although the atmosphere was awkward, the most urgent matter was to fill their stomachs first.】

【The innocent Lumine did not refuse Su Bai's proposal.】

【Under Su Bai's care, she ate very contentedly.】
