Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Did that one come looking for you?"

Morax glanced at Xuan Ge beside him, clad in Black-Gold Armor, and the eight hundred cavalry behind him.

"Mm, the Heavenly Principles had me help her."

Xuan Ge did not conceal it; after all, he was going to go see just what that Abyssal Power actually was.

If it was useful, he would utilize it; anyway, more skills never weigh you down.

If the Abyss wanted to erode him, it could go argue with the powers of Destruction, the Hunt, and Abundance.

If Destruction couldn't kill the Abyss in 1 second, he would go back and mock Nanuk.

If the Hunt couldn't kill the Abyss in 0 seconds, he would go jump Lan's face.

As for Abundance…

That one would probably treat the Abyss like a chocolate cookie, crunch and eat it up.

Morax gave a slight nod, then said, "Since that one permits it, then come with me."

"No need, I'll go on ahead, see what's really going on."

Hearing Xuan Ge's refusal, Morax did not persuade him either.

Anyway, Xuan Ge can even ride on the Heavenly Principles; his safety he need not worry about.

Watching Xuan Ge lead his troops away toward Khaenri'ah, only then did Morax speak: "Xuan Ge discovered you long ago."

"Aihe~"

Voice heard before person seen.

A wisp of clear wind turned into Barbatos; he landed and asked, "You really won't stop him from going to covet that forbidden power?"

"For this world, perhaps that is forbidden, but for Xuan Ge, it might just be a toy."

Hearing Morax's words, Barbatos's heart was sour to death; the envy on his face could not be hidden at all.

Why didn't this Xuan Ge appear in Mondstadt, why did he have to descend in Liyue.

Xuan Ge is strong, and handsome, and a born commander, his charm points are simply maxed out.

If his friend weren't a man, he would have turned into Venti.

Of course, he could change now too; anyway, wind spirits have no gender.

But the fear is that Xuan Ge's fixed impression of him is male; then it would be completely hopeless.

On Xuan Ge's side, following the marker the Heavenly Principles gave, he successfully arrived at the underground kingdom, Khaenri'ah.

Just as he entered, before Xuan Ge had time to survey that High Wall, an arrow "swish" nailed into the earth before his feet.

"Who are you? Why have you come to this place?"

Xuan Ge did not bother with that Khaenri'ah guard, but turned his head to look at Mi Nu beside him.

"Record this: Khaenri'ah attempted to attack Liyue's Divine Might General."

"Yes! General!" Mi Nu revealed a smile, eyes burning with intense desire for recording.

Sasayuri sneakily glanced, discovering this Rock Yaksha Mi Nu was recording not the General's original words just now, but far more exaggerated content.

'Khaenri'ah creates calamity, poisons the world, brazenly attempts to attack Liyue's Protector Divine Might General, its wolfish ambition, unforgivable sin.'

Sasayuri withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of deep longing for a dedicated page in the history books.

Not only Sasayuri; all eight hundred present had red-rimmed eyes, that was scorching anticipation for merit.

Even the Xian Zhong Yaksha could not escape the vulgar.

The guards atop the High Wall, hearing this, were stunned on the spot.

He merely stopped them from advancing a bit, how did it suddenly become an attack?

Also, why does he have the illusion that a huge hat has been forcibly clamped onto his head……

"This General is Liyue's Divine Might General, this visit is to gauge the people's conditions."

That guard frowned, his expression carrying a few parts disdain, just which stray cat or dog popped out from where.

"Gauge the people's conditions? Just you?"

"Ah, why does everyone always think this Divine Might title of mine was deliberately chosen to act cool……"

Xuan Ge blandly complained a sentence.

Words barely fallen, Xiao immediately moved, in a flash seizing that guard before Xuan Ge.

That guard had yet to react, Mi Nu's words had already snatched a step ahead and transmitted over.

"Rude speech, publicly insulting Liyue's pillar of the state, attempting to provoke conflict, harboring vicious intent to invade another nation's soil."

"Ah?" The guard pointed at himself, "Me.. me?"

"Kid, you also don't want to provoke a dispute between two nations just because of your one mouth."

Fu She really couldn't bear to watch; Mi Nu had spoken this straightforwardly, yet this person still didn't open his meridians.

"I… I……"

Just as that guard stammered, scared stupid, the great gate atop the High Wall was suddenly opened.

Immediately after, a man clad in White Armor stepped out.

"Divine Might General, I am Serein, Khaenri'ah's Skyward Knight."

Serein maintained etiquette, but in his heart he was full of vigilance toward that man riding the Red Horse.

If one were to say the strong can be divided into three, six, or nine ranks, then this man before my eyes clad in Black-Gold Armor isn't even in the ranking's roster.

Because, judging by perception alone, this Divine Might General seems like a god descended to the mortal world, a blazing sun absolutely not something ordinary people can spy upon.

Xuan Ge replied casually: "Gauging the people's conditions, and conveniently looking for someone."

Serein froze for a moment; he hadn't expected the Divine Might General to give this very line.

But he also couldn't directly refuse, so he could only maneuver roundaboutly.

"Since the General wants to gauge conditions, then please come with me to the Palace."

Serein gave a slight bow, then looked at the army behind him, saying after some deliberation: "But these cavalry had better stay……"

"Tall guy, what do you mean?"

Ying Da instantly flared up with some anger; how come everyone wants to keep the Shenwu Army outside.

Could it be the Shenwu Army's first impression on people is this much like bandits?

"Madam, please don't be impatient; after all, it was just said, this involves diplomacy between two nations."

Hearing Serein's watertight answer, Ying Da held in a breath, unable to go up or down.

In the end she could only glare puffed up at Fu She.

Those eyes clearly said: Big brother, look, someone's bullying me again.

Fu She didn't respond, instead looking at the General first.

Upon discovering the General was merely smiling faintly, he wisely chose to shut up immediately.

"Serein, this General is just an ordinary person; bringing guards for protection is perfectly normal."

Serein hesitated a moment, but ultimately accepted the Divine Might General's statement.

"Also good; then please, General, select guards and go with me."

"Very well." Xuan Ge gave a slight nod, then looked to his side: "Fu She, you have men garrison this place. Sasayuri, Xiao, come with me."

"Yes! General!"

"General~ what about me what about me~" Yu Yu Qian Dai pointed at herself with a rather pitiful expression.

"You……" Xuan Ge was momentarily at a loss for words.

He was going in to find Rhinedottir; bringing another woman along was really a bit inconvenient.

"Qian Dai, don't forget the mission."

Sasayuri spoke up to relieve the General; he didn't say much, just reminded Yu Yu Qian Dai not to disrupt the General's plans.

"Mm~ okay~" Yu Yu Qian Dai nodded obediently.

In order to have children with Xuan Ge, she still decided being obedient was better.

Otherwise if the General can't research that forbidden power now, once war breaks out later, there truly won't be time.

Xuan Ge dismounted; Xiao and Sasayuri, one left one right, fell back half a step, following Serein into this subterranean nation.

"Hehe, what do you all usually eat?"

Xuan Ge with hands behind his back, surveyed Khaenri'ah's scenery with great interest, his gaze unintentionally sweeping over children in the distance.

If nothing unexpected happens, this so-called irreverence toward gods is merely someone wanting to be a god in the masses' eyes.

Hearing this question, Serein looked at the Divine Might General wearing a curious smile.

A mutter rose in his heart, not knowing what this person ultimately wanted to express……

"Five grains, meats are all available, same as other nations."

"Oh? Is that so?" Xuan Ge feigned slight surprise, then tossed out a lethal question: "Then what do the common folk eat?"

Serein's steps paused; Xiao and Sasayuri instantly went on guard against this person.

"General, you ask this question, what are you trying to do?"

"What's with the tension?"

Xuan Ge raised a hand and patted the shoulder of this future Shenwu Army Imperial Guards Captain, Serein.

"I already said, it's gauging the people's conditions; naturally I must care about what the common folk usually eat."

Pausing a beat, Xuan Ge continued killing the heart.

"Of course, I'm also conveniently learning a thing or two. After all, Liyue's children are generally a bit chubby when young."

Then Xuan Ge raised a hand pointing at children in the distance picking mushrooms.

"I want to know, what exactly does Khaenri'ah eat, to make children this thin; also good for me to seriously learn a lesson."

Serein fell silent; he didn't answer immediately, just stared tightly at Xuan Ge.

This person fundamentally isn't here to gauge conditions; he purely came to find trouble.
