Chapter 384

Jiang Yan looked at the three disciples getting along so harmoniously and smiled, nodding his head.

"By the way, Little Ningguang, take Little Beidou and Little Shenhe to stroll around Liyue Harbor later."

"Buy some daily necessities for Little Shenhe."

Jiang Yan said this to Little Ningguang.

"Yes, Master!"

Little Ningguang nodded seriously.

Afterwards, under Jiang Yan's gaze, the three little ones ran out the door with a pitter-patter, taking Little Shenhe off to play.

Jiang Yan returned to his seat and began handling official matters.

He did not worry that the three little ones would encounter any trouble in Liyue Harbor.

Not to mention Jiang Yan was right there in Liyue Harbor; if anything happened, he could arrive instantly.

Besides, did you see that greenish-blue little snake bracelet on Little Ningguang's wrist?

That's right; Jiang Yan had Apep follow Little Ningguang to protect her safety.

He also gave her the authority to transform; she could turn into her original grass dragon form at any time.

With Apep there, it would be no problem for the three little ones to go anywhere.

After all, Apep was one of the Seven Elemental Long Wangs; except for Jiang Yan and the Heavenly Principles, there truly was nothing that could match this creature.

"Jiang Yan!"

Just then, a call came through the wind.

Upon hearing it, Jiang Yan's head immediately throbbed with pain.

Who else but that wine-drinking fellow from Mondstadt could call him in such a way?

"What is it?"

As Jiang Yan spoke, he knew Barbatos could hear his words.

"Ehe, well, I have something to tell you."

There was a hint of guilt in Barbatos's tone.

Jiang Yan:?

When things go against the norm, there must be a demon!

Barbatos suddenly speaking in this tone definitely meant he had done something bad.

"Hey, hey, hey, you didn't do something bad, did you?"

Jiang Yan's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

"Ehe? How could that be?"

"So in your heart I am that kind of person? Oh my, oh my, how heartbreaking~"

Barbatos let out an "Ehe" laugh.

Jiang Yan: "......"

Hmph, it seems he really did do something bad.

That kid Barbatos has been getting more and more unruly lately.

"Well, I just wanted to tell you that, barring any accidents, Alice should be heading from the Snowy Mountains to your Liyue now."

As Barbatos spoke, he seemed to take another sip of wine.

Because the wind carrying through the air held a trace of alcohol scent.

Jiang Yan frowned.

It was not just because Barbatos had been drinking.

It was even more because of the sentence that kid had just spoken.

Alice is coming from the Snowy Mountains to Liyue.

Speaking of this woman Alice, yes, she is Klee's mother.

Klee has not been born yet, and her mother Alice is currently just a playful woman.

Just a short while ago, this fellow had just blown up the Stormterror's Lair.

Now the Stormterror's Lair has been officially renamed the Stormterror's Ruins.

Now, you tell me, this witch is coming to Liyue?

After a long silence, Jiang Yan sighed.

Fine, I will go to the Snowy Mountains to accompany her myself.

After all, if Alice were left to wander around Liyue on her own, the Zhibuding Society might cause some chaos.

Perhaps at any moment, with two explosions.

The sword marks of Jueyun Karst and Guili Plains would become Jueyun Hills and Guili Basin.

Sigh, what a bitter fate.

Jiang Yan stood up and said to the air at the same time:

"Thanks; when you return, you can go directly to the Liyue Wine Shop to pick up two bottles of good wine, as thanks."

"Ehe! Then I shall accept your kindness!"

Barbatos let out an "Ehe" laugh, and then a faint breeze blew past.

Jiang Yan glanced toward the direction of the Snowy Mountains, then turned and walked down the stairs.

"Little Ganyu."

Jiang Yan came to the second floor and found Little Ganyu who was busy working.

"What is it?"

Little Ganyu raised her head and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I have something to attend to and need to step out for a bit. When Little Ningguang, Little Beidou, and Little Shenhe return later, please keep an eye on the three of them for me."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Little Ganyu nodded.

"Alright, go ahead. Be careful on your way."

"Mm."

Jiang Yan nodded, then turned and walked out.

Stepping out of the gate of Tingdeda Sect, a deep Chuansong Sect appeared before Jiang Yan, instantly enveloping him until he vanished.

On the other side, the Snow Mountain.

The Chuansong Sect appeared from the sky, and Jiang Yan stepped out from the air.

Although fierce cold winds surged across the Snow Mountain, making Jiang Yan's robes flutter and snap.

Yet Jiang Yan seemed to feel nothing at all; he gazed down at the Snow Mountain below with a blank expression.

As for why he had stopped here.

It was because he had not found Alice.

Just then, accompanied by a monster's roar, a violent explosion erupted from the side of the Snow Mountain.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Yan's gaze was drawn toward it.

He saw that on the other side of the Snow Mountain stood a woman wearing a wide Great Magic hat and a bright red long dress.

Pointed ears paired with an exquisitely beautiful face.

At that moment, she too seemed to sense someone watching her; she turned her head and saw Jiang Yan floating in midair.

"Oh my, hello there, handsome young sir."

"Judging by your appearance, you must be that Immortal Lord from Liyue, correct?"

Jiang Yan nodded and said calmly:

"Mm 320, you must be Young Lady Alice that the Anemo Archon mentioned."

"Oh my, to be so noticed by my lord the Anemo Archon is truly a young woman's honor."

Alice laughed; in her figure one could see traces of Klee and Lisa, both pure and seductive.

With every gesture and movement, she displayed the mature charm of a woman to the fullest extent.

"Then, Immortal Lord, what brings you here this time?"

Alice asked with a smile.

Jiang Yan smiled as well.
