Chapter 393
It could be said without exaggeration that the archery he now mastered was on par with March 7th's.
If he added some enhancements to this archery, he would definitely be able to surpass March 7th.
Satisfied, very satisfied.
Once he returned to Teyvat, he would teach Collei and Fischl better archery.
Both girls had been by his side, and it was time to cultivate them properly.
On one hand, he had already developed them to the extreme, training them into ripe peaches.
Next, he would strengthen their power.
"Huh? This is a short-lived species, right?"
At this moment, seeing Lin Mo, March 7th's eyes brightened, and she took the initiative to greet him enthusiastically: "Hello, my name is March 7th. Are you sent by Master Diviner Fu to pick us up?"
"I am, but Lin Mo is not."
Qingque said: "Lin Mo is a Cloud Knight, and I am a diviner of the Divination Commission. Oh, Miss Tingyun has arrived too."
Following Qingque's gaze, one could see an elegantly extraordinary Foxian girl—Tingyun.
She wore exquisite clothing; the upper garment was a white top, the soft fabric clinging to her skin, revealing her faint curves.
The collar and cuffs of the top were trimmed with gold, appearing both noble and possessing the momentum of a warrior. A red cape was tied around her waist, dancing like the morning glow when the wind blew.
It was none other than Chief Tingyun of the Whistling Flames Merchants Guild.
Tingyun wore fox-ear-shaped headgear adorned with gold decorations, appearing both mysterious and elegant.
Her deep eyes were like the brightest stars in an autumn night, filled with wisdom and depth.
Her long hair was as deep as the night, simply tied behind her head, with a few strands scattered casually on her shoulders, adding a touch of natural charm.
Her lower garment was a simple pair of white shorts with delicate gold trim, echoing her top.
Her long legs had skin as smooth and delicate as the finest porcelain, and she wore exquisite gold sandals, each step revealing an extraordinary temperament.
Every move Tingyun made was filled with innate elegance and the beauty of power; her posture was like a dragon playing in the water, light and agile.
Her appearance was like a beautiful landscape, making people involuntarily look her way.
Even in a crowd, her unique temperament and beauty were enough to make her the focus of everyone's attention.
"Hehe."
Hearing Qingque, Tingyun walked over and smiled elegantly: "Lady Yukong asked me to lead these guests to enjoy the scenery of the Xianzhou."
Tingyun's smile carried a hint of imperceptible cunning; her eyes were soft but bottomless, as if she could see into one's heart.
When she narrowed her eyes and licked her lips gently, that simple yet seemingly profound little action inadvertently revealed an indescribable charm.
Her voice was gentle and slightly hoarse, like the most charming whisper in the dead of night, enough to make anyone's heart flutter.
Her gaze wandered slowly over Lin Mo, like a caress; that faint touch made people's imaginations run wild.
Her aura had a primitive attraction, as if telling the legend of an ancient fox spirit; that mysterious and seductive power made people want to get close but afraid to touch easily.
Every gesture of Tingyun seemed to be silently telling the art of seduction; her light steps carried an innate rhythm and spirituality.
Her figure was graceful, and every turn revealed a myriad of charms.
Such a person, in Lin Mo's eyes, was undoubtedly a living work of art, both charming and irresistible.
Unknowingly, Tingyun's innate, undeniable seductiveness had already made everyone present feel her charm.
The mystery and seduction unique to the Foxians seemed to be a talent, allowing her to easily attract everyone's attention, making people intoxicated by her delicate expressions and every movement.
Lin Mo: "..."
Looking at Tingyun staring at him, Lin Mo fell silent for a moment.
Because on his panel, the Tingyun that appeared was the Lord Ravager Phantylia!
Seeing the Lord Ravager Phantylia staring at him with such interest, Lin Mo had a slight headache.
This Lord Ravager was also a heliobus, and since he had copied her heliobus constitution, he should be very attractive to her.
Looking at Tingyun's gaze, it was as if she really wanted to eat him.
He had seen Tingyun licking her lips clearly just now.
However, Lin Mo wasn't too panicked.
After all, Tingyun liked toying with people's emotions rather than advocating direct destruction, so he was still safe.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Phantylia loved the self-destruction of mortals and, to achieve true destruction, would lure many living beings into an abyss of no return.
"Oh, oh."
Hearing Phantylia, Qingque looked enlightened: "So that's how it is."
"Then let's go."
Immediately, Qingque took the lead and brought Lin Mo and the others toward the Divination Commission's cave.
"Mr. Lin Mo, you're a short-lived species, right?"
While following Qingque, Tingyun walked slowly in front of Lin Mo, looking at him with a fiery gaze, and said in surprise: "Listening to Qingque, you're also a Cloud Knight, able to not wear the standard Cloud Knight uniform."
"Hmm."
Hearing Tingyun, Lin Mo nodded gently.
He knew Tingyun was asking something she already knew.
As a short-lived species, Tingyun should be able to see that clearly.
"I wonder if Mr. Lin Mo has time later to visit my Whistling Flames Merchants Guild?"
Tingyun swayed her large tail behind her, gently brushing against Lin Mo, her voice soft and delicate: "Tingyun would like to be good friends with Mr. Lin Mo."
Lin Mo: "..."
What was going on with this Tingyun?
Oh, no, what was going on with this Phantylia?
"Maybe next time when I'm free."
Lin Mo nodded gently, responding to Tingyun, and Tingyun narrowed her eyes: "Then let's exchange contact information first."
Saying this, Tingyun took out her phone very actively and added Lin Mo's contact information.
Lin Mo didn't refuse, nor could he, and actively added her.
"Wow, what is that?"
Just after adding her, March 7th's voice suddenly rang out, filled with wonder and curiosity.
Under the brilliant starry night sky, a huge Arbor stood reaching toward the sky; its canopy seemed to touch the nebulae, and its trunk was huge, as if it were a divine pillar connecting heaven and earth.
The bark appeared ancient and heavy in the night, bearing the traces of time, like a silent guardian witnessing countless unknown stories of this world.
The texture of the tree seemed to be carved with ancient runes, each containing the power of nature.
When the night wind brushed past this sky-reaching Arbor, it emitted a deep and distant sound, like a whisper from another world, shocking every life form that approached it.
Its canopy was as wide as a giant umbrella covering the sky, and the lush branches and leaves shone with a silver luster under the starlight, like countless star rivers flowing between the branches, mysterious and beautiful.
Its branches spanned the air, like countless channels of life, leading lost travelers to the other shore of their dreams.
This sky-reaching Arbor was not just a tree; it was more like a bridge connecting the mortal world and the starry sky, embodying the harmonious unity of nature and the universe.
Its massive body stood tall in the night sky, giving everyone who looked up at it endless imagination and deep awe.
Standing beneath it, people would feel their own insignificance while also being deeply attracted by this tranquility and greatness, their souls receiving an unprecedented baptism and peace.
Seeing this thing, March 7th was shocked.
"The Arbor, a treasure the Luofu was once proud of."
Tingyun took a look and smiled lightly: "An ancient tree called the Arbor."
"Oh?"
Hearing Tingyun, Qingque turned her head subconsciously, looking at Tingyun in surprise: "The Sky-Faring Commission also has such research on history? Amazing. Almost no one in the younger generation can say where it came from. It is said that this Arbor is a remnant left behind when the ancient Xianzhou traveled beyond the heavens."
"Don't look at it as just a piece of dead wood from afar; according to records in the 'Dream of the Upper Kingdom,' its volume at its peak could 'climb the heavens and hang the stars'!"
"Uh..."
Hearing Qingque, March 7th looked blank: "What does that mean?"
"It means the height of this tree could climb the sky."
Lin Mo smiled lightly: "And stars could hang from its branches."
"Oh, oh, I see."
Hearing Lin Mo, March 7th understood.
But the next second, March 7th widened her eyes: "Then how big must it be? And this is still just half of it? This is much bigger than our train!"
"But hanging stars from the starry sky, I'm afraid the entire Xianzhou couldn't fit it!"
She knew too well how vast the starry sky was.
"Sigh, it's a figure of speech, a figure of speech."
Qingque said helplessly: "Don't get hung up on the literal meaning in stories."
"Anyway, it's just a legend. I see this scenery on my way to and from work, and I'm sick of it."
"Forget it, let's go to the Divination Commission first. Don't keep the Master Diviner waiting too long."
Saying this, Qingque took everyone to where they could board a skiff.
They boarded the skiff and headed straight for the Divination Commission.
PS: I'm back, but I have too much to do. I've been busy all day today and will be busy for most of tomorrow. However, I can resume updates, and I will try my best to make up for it later. There's too much to do after returning, but I'll be busy for just two or three days. Please forgive me; the plot is about to reach its climax.
