Chapter 482: If You Can Find a Treasure Chest in Liyue, I'll Admit Defeat, Okay

~4 min read 781 words

"That's right, she is my younger sister!"

Aether interrupted Jiang Yan's thoughts and spoke to him.

"Her name is Lumine, but she is still in a deep slumber right now."

When mentioning his sister Lumine, a very gentle light shone in Aether's eyes.

The bond between the twins naturally needs no further explanation.

This can be seen from the plot.

"Are you so certain your sister will come to Liyue?"

Although Jiang Yan already knew the plot, he still wanted to see exactly what Aether would say.

"My sister and I were separated due to some special reasons."

Aether said this to Jiang Yan.

He simply did not state that the reason for his separation from Lumine was the Heavenly Principles.

"To find me, she will definitely travel throughout Teyvat."

"Only after she has traveled the entire continent and truly seen this world in its original state..."

"... will she be able to understand my predicament and reunite with me."

Aether calmly recounted all of this to Jiang Yan.

"So that is how it is."01

Listening to Aether's words, Jiang Yan nodded.

In terms of meaning, it was actually much the same as the dialogue between Aether and Lumine.

"Then the question is, why should I help you take care of your sister?"

"If I am not mistaken, the two of us should not be that familiar, right?"

Jiang Yan did not want to take on an extra task for no reason.

After all, by the time the Traveler began their journey, he should already have been retired for quite some time.

As long as the three Little Ningguangs grew up and became familiar with government affairs and the like, he would push all his duties onto the three of them to manage.

And then he could fully enjoy life and become a social recluse.

He certainly would not give up his leisurely and comfortable life just because he promised Aether.

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Aether nodded.

He knew this point.

After all, he and Jiang Yan were indeed neither relatives nor friends.

Asking him to take care of Lumine was indeed a bit of a stretch.

So when Aether made this request, he never expected Jiang Yan to agree.

Of course, if he did agree, that would naturally be even better.

If he came to Liyue and received care from Liyue's ruler, his sister's journey would be a bit more comfortable.

After all, this world is indeed quite poor.

Aether discovered this during his travels.

Compared to other worlds where treasure chests are everywhere...

... treasure chests in this world are surprisingly scarce!

Especially in Liyue!

Other regions have at least a few scattered treasure chests here and there.

Liyue truly has none at all!

Sometimes, Aether even suspected that everyone in this world had a hobby for treasure hunting.

If Aether's suspicion were heard by Jiang Yan, he would absolutely laugh until he doubled over.

Hehehe, isn't that just pitifully few?

If it weren't for the fact that later on, Jiang Yan himself had become too lazy to even pick up ordinary treasure chests, could you, Aether, have collected any treasure chests?

He wouldn't even leave you a single hair.

As for Liyue...

Come on, in the five hundred years since the end of Khaenri'ah, Liyue had been looted by Jiang Yan again and again.

Nothing remains, absolutely nothing remains.

If you can find a treasure chest in Liyue, then I admit defeat, okay!

"Indeed, troubling you like this is a bit abrupt."

Aether answered Jiang Yan's question.

"Then how about this: you just need to not interfere with my sister's journey."

"And do not tell her anything about me."

"Is that alright?"

Jiang Yan thought for a moment, and only then reluctantly nodded.

This was something he could agree to.

After all, by that time, he wouldn't even know where he would be playing, and whether he would see Lumine was another matter entirely.

So agreeing to the request didn't really matter.

"Then many thanks, Immortal!"

Aether cupped his hands and said to Jiang Yan.

"Enough, enough, I have already agreed to you."

Jiang Yan waved a hand at the other, the meaning of dismissing him being quite clear.

"I will say it again: giving it to the Lord of the Abyss is also giving it to you."

"Do not set your sights on Li Yue; if I discover you are plotting something against Li Yue behind my back..."

"... then do not blame me for being ruthless."

"That is natural!"

Kong nodded, and then a pitch-black Chuansong Sect appeared behind him.

"By the way, tell your Lord of the Abyss."

Before Kong left, Jiang Yan suddenly spoke to the other.
