the next day……
"Uh... why are you guys up so early..."
Two days ago, Jiang Mu and Ying had arranged to sneak away early in the morning, but as soon as they reached the gates of Mondstadt, they were blocked by a group of people.
Jean, Barbara, Amber, Kaeya, Diluc, Venti...
"I knew you were trying to sneak away..."
Qin put her hands on her hips and said with an unfriendly expression.
"Ah, this..."
Jiang Mu scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed...
"Hahaha……"
Upon seeing Jiang Mu's embarrassed state, everyone was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter in unison...
"Alright, alright, I won't joke around with you anymore."
Kaiya waved his hand slightly and said.
"We're only here today to see you off."
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of wine from the Eye of God and said.
"This is a gift from Diluc and me. It's one of the few treasures from Dawn Winery. You should keep it safe."
"Definitely, definitely..."
Jiang Mu quickly took it and nodded repeatedly.
This is a good item; it could fetch a good price...
"Here you go." Amber walked up and handed Ying a doll.
"This...this is..."
Looking at the familiar doll, Ying subconsciously took a step back.
"Don't worry, don't worry, this is a specially made Earl Bunny that won't explode." As if she could tell what Ying was thinking, Amber quickly said.
"Phew...that's good..."
Upon hearing this, Ying breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put it away.
"You'll probably meet that old man when you go to Liyue this time, right?"
Wendy leaned closer and asked Jiang Mu.
"Mm." Jiang Mu nodded gently.
"Alright then."
Upon hearing this, Wendy took out a bottle of wine from her waist.
"Could you please take this to him for me?"
"Okay." Jiang Mu nodded and accepted the wine.
Recently, he felt that his affinity for the wind element had increased a lot. Although he didn't know why, Jiang Mu was sure that it must be related to this wind god who did nothing but do nothing.
Ultimately, however, this is still a good thing, at least for him. Therefore, he's done this small favor, and that's that...
Besides, he'll have to take good care of Seele and Blackie who's still in Mondstadt...
As if understanding what Jiang Mu was thinking, Wendy winked at him and said.
"Don't worry, I'll help look after your two girlfriends while they're in Mondstadt."
"Uh...we're not what you think..."
"Yes, yes, don't worry, I understand, I understand..."
………………
And so, after a long and drawn-out process, Jiang Mu and Ying finally embarked on their journey to Liyue...
"Just keep going along this road, go through the stone gate, and you'll soon reach the territory of Liyue."
Jiang Mu said softly, but when he turned around, Ying was nowhere to be seen.
"Cough cough..."
Clearing his throat, Jiang Mu shouted.
"Ying, stop looking for the treasure chest!"
………………
After finding the two, Jiang Mu once again became a miserable tour guide.
"Let's go, we'll be in Liyue soon."
Jiang Mu suppressed his anger and said.
"All right……"
Ying instinctively shrank back, but her mind was still preoccupied with the treasure chests she had seen along the way...
There will be other opportunities in the future.
Seeing Ying's expression, Jiang Mu knew exactly what he was thinking and said with amusement.
"Sigh, I guess I'll hope so..."
Ying sighed and said.
During this time, she would occasionally go out into the wilderness to search for treasure chests and the like. In the meantime, she had several dealings with the famous organization on the Teyvat continent—the Treasure Thieves...
"Oh, right." Ying suddenly seemed to remember something and pointed to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain not far away.
“I took on a long-term commission to investigate that snow-capped mountain, but for some reason I haven’t been able to set off yet. Do you know anything strange about that snow-capped mountain?”
"Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu inwardly grumbled.
Of course I know...
Inside, there's not only the ice-themed item that I both love and hate, but also a greatsword and a magical flower-shaped creature...
Do you have any questions?
Why not ask the magical flower, Beethoven...?
Ahem... wrong channel...
"There are the ruins of an ancient kingdom on that snow-capped mountain, and to this day, few people have been able to explore its mysteries."
Jiang Mu smiled and explained.
"If you're interested, we can go explore together after our trip to Liyue. I'll bring a few friends."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Upon hearing this, Ying and Paimon's eyes lit up immediately.
Jiang Mu didn't know the specifics of the former's thoughts, but the latter... must be thinking about the treasure on the snow mountain!
However... there are indeed some beautiful views and stories on this snow-capped mountain...
Jiang Mu couldn't help but recall a task he had done when he was playing a game.
The task was simple: just put a few raspberries in a plate near the Seven Gods statue on the snow mountain every day.
But in the following days, every time the player went there, they would see several snow foxes lying quietly to the side, seemingly waiting for the player to arrive.
On the final day, when players arrive at that location, they will be pleasantly surprised to find a precious treasure chest there, with a group of snow foxes quietly watching them.
Perhaps this is another form of a cat's way of repaying a debt of gratitude...
Jiang Mu still remembers being deeply moved for a while after completing this mission...
………………
"Another test subject!"
Suddenly, several more guys with their faces covered by gauze appeared out of nowhere. Paimon shouted as he looked at the Raven Marks on their chests.
"It's a group of treasure thieves!"
"It's good that you know..."
Upon hearing this, the leader laughed loudly and said to Jiang Mu.
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, hand over the Mora you're carrying, or not only will you suffer some physical pain, but even the little girl behind you..."
Although the words were left unsaid, the meaning was self-evident...
"Let's do it..."
Jiang Mu covered his face. Behind him, Ying, with an unfriendly expression, had already drawn her sword.
(A heart-wrenching fight scene is omitted here...)
"The wrong test subjects were chosen!"
………………
After this little incident, the three of them became even more cautious on the rest of their journey.
However, following the route they remembered, they soon climbed a hill and came upon the magnificent city.
Liyue Harbor
Along the way, Ying, guided by the two, came into contact with the Statue of the Seven of Geo and successfully obtained the elemental power of Geo, which made Jiang Mu envious.
Back then, he went through countless hardships and dangers in order to obtain the elemental power of the seven attributes...
Ahem, let's not talk about it anymore, otherwise, people will start saying this bumbling author is just padding his work...
The moment Jiang Mu stepped into Liyue Harbor, several people in the harbor suddenly turned around.
Long time no see...
you……
Are you back...?
