Chapter 1809

If a Teyvat passenger were to get into trouble due to violating travel rules, the passenger should not complain about Luo Feng. Not to mention becoming leverage for others to put Luo Feng in an unfavorable position.

Morax personally warned the people of Liyue about this point when the Astral Express route from Liyue to the Luofu Xianzhou was first established.

【Alice: The Geo Archon is not wrong. Although one can hope for Mr. Luo Feng's help with certain matters, it is best not to become his weakness. If the nature of his travel agency were to be affected because of this, it would be a loss for all of us in Teyvat.】

【Dottore: Then, let me see how Collei decides. I hope it won't be too boring for me.】

【Faruzan: You guy, you really are malicious. Collei won't do as you wish; I believe in her!】

"You let me go, and then you want me to call the other passengers here?"

Collei stood up, frowning as she asked Aventurine.

"To be precise, it is an invitation!"

Aventurine smiled slightly and said.

Collei's frown deepened: "And then you will trap the other passengers just like you trapped me?"

Aventurine spread his hands and said: "Please don't be so severe; I actually have no malice toward any of you!"

Collei: "But if attacking us could help you take back Penacony, you would do it, wouldn't you?"

Aventurine: "That really is a tricky question."

Collei: "But you didn't deny it!"

Hearing this from Collei, Aventurine shrugged helplessly and said to her:

"You are smarter and have more backbone than you appear."

"If it were a different occasion, I would be very happy to chat with you."

"But I don't want to chat with you." Collei shook her head and said:

"I will not do as you wish and call the other passengers here, nor will I call Mr. Luo Feng here."

Since she knew that calling the other passengers might lead to them being attacked by Aventurine, the kind-hearted Collei naturally could not agree to his request.

As for Luo Feng, Collei believed he possessed great power, but Aventurine had the massive organization of the Interastral Peace Corporation standing behind him.

If the Interastral Peace Corporation was determined to reclaim Penacony to the point of not fearing to offend Luo Feng, calling him over might bring him great trouble.

Although Luo Feng might truly be an awakening Trailblaze Aeon, he was, after all, likely not one yet.

In other words, the power Luo Feng currently possessed might not be enough to absolutely deal with the Interastral Peace Corporation.

Besides, even if Luo Feng could handle it, making the Interastral Peace Corporation an enemy for his sake was not something Collei wished for.

"Aren't you afraid I won't let you go after telling me all this?"

Aventurine looked at the determined Collei and asked with interest.

"So, don't let me go, let Paimon leave instead."

As Collei said this, she looked at Paimon, who was pressed against the protective barrier.

Although Paimon didn't speak, Collei could see her panic.

Collei could roughly understand how Paimon felt at this moment with just a little thought.

Paimon had always been with the Traveler Lumine, and whenever something happened, Lumine would protect her.

Now that Paimon was separated from Lumine, Paimon, who had no power, must be very afraid.

"You want to take Paimon's place? Why?"

Aventurine asked, surprised and curious.

"Although it might sound bad to say, my strength is indeed a bit stronger than Paimon's."

"I have a certain ability to protect myself, and I am used to being outside alone."

"I think someone like me is more suitable to stay behind than Paimon, isn't it?"

Collei took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and looked at Aventurine nervously.

She really wanted to help Paimon, but she didn't know if such a far-fetched reason could persuade Aventurine.

"You are stronger, and Paimon is weaker. Using the strong to help the weak, huh!"

Aventurine looked at Collei with some regret, then turned to look at Paimon's direction and said:

"But it is a pity, given your physical condition, Collei, it is best to see Mr. Luo Feng quickly."

"Although Paimon is relatively weak, her physical condition is at least not in an unstable state like yours... Hehe, it seems that is not entirely true."

A flash of light crossed Aventurine's eyes; he hadn't paid attention to Paimon's condition before.

But now, after looking closely, Aventurine discovered that Paimon's body also seemed to hide some kind of secret.

"W-what?" Paimon noticed Aventurine's somewhat eerie eyes and stepped back in fear.

"Could it be that Paimon was also affected by high-concentration Memory Essence?"

Collei ran toward Paimon nervously.

Unfortunately, Aventurine just waved his hand, and a golden isolation wall rose in front of Collei.

"Alright, you have delayed too long here with me."

"It is time to leave, Miss Collei."

Aventurine pointed toward the direction of the Clock Studios Theme Park entrance, the intention to drive her away very obvious.

Collei took a deep breath and looked at Aventurine with determined eyes: "Let Paimon leave, I will stay!"

Although she didn't know what Aventurine meant earlier, since she knew there might be some problem with Paimon, how could Collei choose to leave?

Perhaps Paimon had also accidentally come into contact with high-concentration Memory Essence earlier. It just hadn't manifested yet.

She herself had her past nightmares reappear due to high-concentration Memory Essence; if Paimon, who had no power, were to experience the same situation because of it...

Just thinking of this possibility made Collei even more determined to stay at the Clock Studios Theme Park.

Aventurine frowned, and just as he was about to persuade Collei again, the massive black-like phantom from before suddenly reappeared on her body.

"Miss Collei, what are you doing? Why are you forcibly and actively invoking this power?"

Aventurine frowned and asked.

Collei hugged her chest, enduring the pain of using this power she wasn't very familiar with, and looked up at Aventurine:

"Although I don't know why you are looking for Mr. Luo Feng, since you are willing to let me go, it means you don't want to offend Mr. Luo Feng too deeply, right, Mr. Aventurine?"

"But if something were to happen to me here because I used this power, wouldn't that mean your idea of not thoroughly offending Mr. Luo Feng would go bankrupt? *Cough, cough! *"

As the words fell, Collei coughed heavily twice, spitting blood that was red to the point of being purple all over the ground!

【Tighnari: Oh no, the backlash of this power has already begun!】

【Amber: No, Collei, don't use this power anymore.】

【Dottore: Hahaha, continue. Let me see what kind of end you will reach if you keep using this power!】

【Faruzan: You guy really are detestable!】

"Quick, stop, Collei. Don't use that power anymore; you can't handle it."

Paimon lay on the protective barrier, knocking hard on the wall that separated her from Collei.

Seeing Collei spitting blood and even having tearing wounds appearing directly on her body, Paimon felt unspeakable worry and emotion.

If it weren't for the positive Abundance-natured buff applied by Luo Feng that was helping her repair her wounds, Paimon even felt that Collei would be in mortal danger right now.

Although Luo Feng possessed the ability to resurrect the dead, Paimon dared not gamble on the possibility of Luo Feng resurrecting Collei. Even if Luo Feng didn't seem to have a bad impression of Collei.

"Don't worry, Paimon, I will help you get out of there."

Collei looked up and smiled at Paimon. Her eyes gradually turned red, and soon, the whites of her eyes turned completely blood-colored.

Such a scene not only scared Paimon, but even Aventurine was somewhat startled.

"This is not within my gambling range."

Aventurine patted his forehead helplessly. He could see it now; the Collei in front of him looked weak, but when she got stubborn, she was no different from him.

"If it were a different occasion, we might have become friends. Forget it, I... a... gree..."

Aventurine's speech speed quickly became slow, and his body movements gradually stopped completely.

A trace of confusion flashed in Paimon's eyes, and by the time she reacted, she had already arrived in an extremely familiar space.

"Huh? What's going on? Why did I suddenly come here?"

"Who stepped onto the Path at this time again... Wait, why is it Collei?"

Paimon widened her eyes, looking in shock at Collei standing in front of the giant pillar of light in the distance.

"I should be the one asking you that, right? You clearly remember being with Collei, don't you?"

A voice extremely familiar to Paimon suddenly sounded behind her.

"It's the Traveler, great!"

Paimon threw herself onto Lumine's face, unable to contain her excitement.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly like this?"
