Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Liyue, Ao Cang Mountain.

After Lei Dianying left, Rosalind and Xianyun entered a period of peace.

Anyway, as long as it doesn't involve who Xuan Ge ends up accompanying, everyone is still very good friends.

After all, they all like Xuan Ge, so the three of them would also communicate with each other in private on a daily basis.

Xianyun couldn't stand the loneliness; she looked at Lumine and said, "Since you are Xuan Ge's friend, let me tell you a story about Xuan Ge's childhood."

Seeing Xianyun looking so happy, Paimon couldn't help but feel curious.

"Why do I feel like you're showing off? And just saying it like that, isn't that not too good?"

"Heh, what's there to it."

Xianyun pushed up her glasses, her smile growing wider and wider; she loved telling stories about Xuan Ge to others the most.

"There's nowhere on Xuan Ge I haven't seen; when he was little, he stood stark naked at the foot of the mountain, especially cute."

"Hehe." Seeing Xianyun bring up the matter of Xuan Ge's bare bottom again, Rosalind chuckled, choosing to relive it once more.

"Wow, I can picture it." Paimon perched on Lumine's shoulder, listening quietly; she felt Xianyun was very good at storytelling.

"Back then he was only this tall, just reaching my thigh."

Xianyun extended her long leg wrapped in black, using her hand to mark a spot between her thigh and knee.

"At the time, I had just finished racing those two old things, and happened to see a chubby little child on my way back to the mountain."

"Hehe, at the time little Xuan Er was holding a lotus leaf covering his little elephant."

Xianyun described it vividly, raising her hand to point at those few lotus leaves in the Ao Cang Mountain pond.

"I asked him, where is your home, this immortal will send you back, but he shook his head and just said one sentence: I'm hungry."

"So Xuan Ge started eating light and abstaining from desires, cultivating to nurture his spirit at that time?" Paimon, like an honest audience member, began interacting with Xianyun.

"If he really followed me eating light fare it would've been fine, but he actually pointed at this immortal and said he wanted to eat meat."

Speaking of this, Xianyun couldn't help but laugh and shake her head herself.

"Good thing you didn't let him eat those wild flowers and grasses with you." Rosalind interjected to speak up for Xuan Ge, "Otherwise, he would've starved until he shrank."

Xianyun understood Rosalind's meaningful implication; her face flushed red, wanting to change the subject.

But a fluctuation transmitted to Ao Cang Mountain; Xianyun immediately looked toward Liyue Harbor.

Rosalind followed Xianyun's gaze and glanced in that direction, discovering it was Liyue Harbor, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The Geo King...." Xianyun was about to answer, but thinking Lumine was still here, she extremely quickly shut her mouth.

"No need to hide it from me; Venti said Xuan Ge is his Great General, and at that time there was a sudden tremor, among those present besides Hu Tao it was Zhongli."

Lumine knew they wanted to hide it, but Venti gave away too big a tell; it was really too easy to guess.

Hearing this, Xianyun mentally marked another tally against Barbatos; sooner or later she'd have the Lord find this improper Anemo Archon to settle accounts.

Hearing her own god's behavior like this, Rosalind also helplessly held her forehead.

Five hundred years ago, Barbatos was beaten by the Geo Archon no few times because of snatching Xuan Ge.

Xianyun didn't hide it anymore, directly stating the meaning of that fluctuation just now.

"The Lord summons all immortals to gather at Liyue Harbor port, saying a Divine Might contest, waiting quietly to watch."

"It's Childe...." Rosalind thought in one second who Xuan Ge's opponent was.

She worried a little for Xuan Ge, hoping he would go a bit easier.

"A fight with Childe? Then we have to go watch."

Paimon put her hands on her hips, wearing an expression of a little anger.

"Childe not only deceived us, but also wanted to use Lumine; truly hateful. I'm going to watch Xuan Ge beat him up."

"Mm." Lumine nodded.

The Wuyu Forbidden Rite in her hand had been carefully examined by Xianyun; this was not bestowed by the Lord, but a man-made fake.

"Since that's the case, then follow me."

Xianyun condensed a wind sphere, scattering it beneath her feet, forming a wind field.

"Xiao, Ying Da, and the other immortals have all rushed toward Liyue Harbor; let's speed up a step."

Speaking, Xianyun dragged the two big and one small along, heading straight for Liyue Harbor.

On the sea surface of Liyue Harbor port, or rather on the ice surface created by the Ice God, two figures stood.

One was Xuan Ge wearing a fake Divine Might armor; the other was Childe wearing a mask, already in his second phase.

Yes, before even exchanging blows, Childe had already met the Divine Might General in his second phase.

The Liyue Harbor coast and coastal areas were packed dense with people; first lined up were the Qianyan Army maintaining safety, followed by the Liyue citizens craning their necks in anticipation.

"Didn't expect he really is...." Ningguang stood on the high platform of the dock, looking at Xuan Ge clad in armor; she couldn't take her eyes off him.

At this moment, the purple cat-eared head walked over, just about to speak, when Ningguang raised a hand to interrupt.

"Keqing, the Mao family genealogy has the Divine Might official seal; this fake Divine Might armor can just be confiscated, then have the workshop make a fake to send over."

Weapons don't matter, but armor must be strictly controlled; after all, what Master Mao holds is the real deal.

Seeing Ningguang staring at that Divine Might General without even blinking, Keqing nodded: "What to do afterwards, the Geo Archon... passed away, yet Divine Might coincidentally appears."

Actually she really wanted to say, should we go ask Divine Might later? Maybe the Geo Archon is still alive.

After all, from history books and the immortal side, the relationship between Divine Might and the Geo Archon was extremely good.

And it seems the Divine Might even has a romantic relationship with a certain adeptus.

Of course, she would never say that this was told to her by a certain overworking adeptus.

Ningguang did not withdraw her gaze, but she knew what Keqing was saying.

The matter of Keqing secretly buying Geo Archon dolls has long been known to everyone.

She claims human rights are the foundation of development, and Keqing indeed acts accordingly, but that doesn't stop her from privately being a fan of the Geo Archon.

"The Geo Archon's stage was built for the Divine Might; human governance is the true foundation."

Ningguang did not discourage Keqing, merely soothed her a little, telling her not to be anxious.

Whether the Geo Archon has met with misfortune or not, the Divine Might's attitude explains everything.

Of course, she also wouldn't tell Keqing that the faked death was personally revealed to her by the Geo Archon in a dream.

In fact, she only just fully figured out this faked death a moment ago.

Just as Keqing said, the Geo Archon passed away, and the Divine Might happened to appear — this proves the Geo Archon intends to entrust Liyue to human hands.

Keqing nodded, and did not continue pressing the question.

On the ice surface, Tartaglia looked at the Great General Divine Might, who was practically identical to the portrait, and his pressure was maxed out.

"Nervous?" Xuan Ge looked at Childe with arms crossed, smiling.

Is there a need to be this nervous? I won't use killing moves, after all.

"Hehe, General, I'm excited."

Tartaglia tightened his grip on the Hydro spear in his hand.

The person before him appears full of openings, defenseless, but...

Just seeing him stand there, his stance alone looks terrifyingly strong.

Combat instinct tells him absolutely not to act rashly, otherwise...

"So it's excitement..."

Tartaglia's words pleased Xuan Ge quite a bit; after all, they are both people who revel in battle.

"Good, I'll indulge you."

Hearing this, Tartaglia frowned slightly, secretly thinking whether he had misunderstood his meaning.

Xuan Ge lowered his arms, clenched his right hand in the void, and blue-gold lightning exploded in his palm, then a blue-gold long spear materialized in his hand.

He didn't flourish the spear with flashy moves, simply pointed it at Tartaglia and said: "Come. I'll only use martial arts; you watch closely."

"Come!" Tartaglia understood Xuan Ge's meaning — only martial arts.

But the Cryo Archon also instructed that if the timing is right, he may go all out to let Xuan Ge enjoy himself to the fullest.
