Chapter 8

"But where exactly is the problem?"

"I clearly felt the elemental power through contact with these various elemental Slimes."

From the viewing angle of the light curtain.

Su Bai and Lumine had been wandering nearby ever since they left Su Bai's small wooden house.

They looked like travelers, making it hard not to suspect whether they truly intended to go to Mondstadt.

However, since the vast majority of people had interacted with the Traveler,

based on their understanding of the Traveler, Su Bai became the primary suspect in this case.

Dainsleif: "Is it possible that this guy Su Bai is lying? He is certainly unique, but I still don't believe one can gain elemental power just by touching Slimes."

Zhong Li: "Do you mean he deliberately deceived the Traveler, intending to achieve some unspeakable goal?"

Tianquan Ningguang: "What could a Reincarnator's goal be?"

Kujou Sara: "I don't know."

Yae Miko: "Lumine has lost her memory and is innocent; perhaps the Reincarnator Su Bai will take advantage of such a good opportunity to coax and deceive Lumine, then eat her up."

Paimon: "Eh!? Do Reincarnators eat people?"

Yae Miko: "I didn't mean the kind of thing you're thinking."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "No way, Su Bai doesn't look like that kind of person."

Aether: "One cannot judge a person solely by appearance; do you not understand such a simple truth?"

Lisa: "Huh? You are..."

Aether: "I am the blood relative Lumine is searching for."

Lumine: "Bro... brother?"

Why is this idiot talking in the group chat himself?

Lumine suddenly felt her head go blank.

She had been worried about his identity before, yet he actually exposed himself and jumped out.

Furina: "Oh my, as Lumine's brother, you really couldn't stand it anymore, right? But that makes sense; no one wants their family to be deceived. However, I feel Su Bai is not the kind of person you think he is."

Aether: "Hmph! Judging from some of his small movements, I saw through his intentions. This despicable foreigner must want to deceive innocent Lumine."

Nahida: "But why do I feel that Lumine and Su Bai seem very happy together, with no bad scenes at all?"

Aether: "That is because he has not yet revealed his claws and fangs."

Xingqiu: "It feels like the Traveler's brother is full of anger."

Chongyun: "Yes, as if he wishes to tear the Reincarnator to shreds."

Aether: "Lumine, listen to your brother; you must never trust that guy."

Lumine: "....."

Lumine: "Brother, that was a matter of a past life; how can I control it?"

Chapter 9: The Three Car Kings of Teyvat, Lumine is going crazy

"From Windrise to Mondstadt City."

"It was only a journey of a few days."

"Under Su Bai and Lumine's operations, the two of them deliberately took more than half a month to walk."

"Along the way, the two experienced many interesting things."

"They admired Mondstadt's terrain and felt the free winds of Mondstadt."

"They went to steal Hilichurl grain, only to be chased all the way by Hilichurls wielding clubs and shields."

"Su Bai did not step in to deal with those Hilichurls."

"The two seemed to deliberately enjoy this thrilling process."

"They ran until they were panting, yet smiles of joy still hung on their faces."

"When night fell."

"Su Bai even specially crafted a wooden bathtub for Lumine."

"He used an iron bucket stolen from a Hilichurl tribe to boil hot water, then poured it in for Lumine to bathe."

"You must not peek."

This was the order Lumine gave Su Bai.

"Also, you cannot leave this place by more than five meters."

"If monsters attack me, I am no match for them."

Yae Miko: "Tsk tsk tsk, the relationship between these two seems to be getting closer and closer; the only pity is that we cannot see the scene of the two sleeping."

Arataki Itto: "You already said sleeping at night; what else can be done?"

Kuki Shinobu: "Boss, if you don't understand, don't join in the fun."

Xia Luodi: "We have already started registration, planning to publish a newspaper: 'The Traveler and the Reincarnator: A Romantic Journey in the Land of Mondstadt'."

Yae Miko: "Lumine, I should have taught you this, right? Follow me and say three, two, one; one, two, three..."

Ying'er: "Hehe, I think there's no need to teach her; when she came to me to make perfume, she showed great talent."

Lisa: "So Lumine is so skilled? I originally thought if she wanted to humbly ask for advice, I could teach her more knowledge, little cutie."

Lumine: "Hey! What nonsense are you three spouting here? Ahhhhh... I'm going crazy..."

Furina: "???"

Paimon: "Lumine, calm down..."

"The two wasted another few days."

"In the distance, they finally saw Mondstadt Main City."

【"Lumine, there's a statue over there—I touched one of these statues last time and gained elemental power."】

【"You should try it too."】

【Su Bai walked straight toward the Seven-Light Statue nearby.】

【Lumine hesitated: "Better not—I've tried several times already. Maybe it won't work this time either."】

【Su Bai paid no heed, took Lumine's hand, and walked toward the statue.】

【"It's just a touch—no real loss if it fails."】

【After listening to Su Bai's urging, Lumine finally nodded.】

【The instant her palm touched the Seven-Light Statue.】

【The statue suddenly glowed brightly.】

【The next second, a green-glowing sphere shot toward Lumine and vanished into her body.】

【"Huh?"】

【"It seems to have worked."】

【Lumine sensed the wind elemental power around her, condensed it slightly, and in her palm appeared a green wind orb.】

【"It really worked."】

【Lumine beamed at Su Bai: "Thank you, Su Bai—if not for you, I might have given up long ago."】

【"Now, I won't need to rely only on you for protection."】

【"That would be such a shame," Su Bai said, feigning distress as he shook his head.】

【Lumine frowned, blinking in confusion: "What's wrong?"】

【"Then how will I be able to sit five meters away and guard you while you bathe?"】

【At these words.】

【Lumine's face flushed crimson.】

【She lightly slapped Su Bai and whispered softly: "You're such a tease—you only know how to mock me."】

Puff!

Shenyuan Sect.

Kong felt a churning in his chest.

If he couldn't suppress it, he would spew out a mouthful of old blood.

From what the current screen showed.

His sister no longer had a strong desire to find him.

"It's all Su Bai's fault."
