A moment ago...
"Damn it, what's going on outside!"
Looking at the surging waves coming from Liyue Harbor, Xiangling stood on her own steps, her face looking rather grim.
"Xiangling, come with me quickly!"
At this moment, Master Mao appeared behind his daughter, looking at her swaying figure, a look of undisguised worry flashing in his eyes...
"Master Mao!"
At this moment, a neighbor walked over, looked at the father and daughter, and quickly spoke up in a kind manner.
"The Thousand Rock Army just sent out a notice saying that a demon god has awakened. Right now, the Liyue Seven Stars and those immortals are fighting against it at the Jade Pavilion. Let's quickly get to higher ground to take shelter!"
Upon hearing this, Master Mao was also somewhat bewildered.
What the hell? A demon god has awakened?
Judging from this, it seems to be the vortex demon god Oser from the storyteller's tale. But wasn't that guy already nailed to death by the Rock Lord's spear beneath Lone Cloud Pavilion? How come he's back to wreak havoc on Liyue...?
But clearly, there was no time for him to think about all that now, so Master Mao simply pulled Xiangling away.
"Girl, come on, let's quickly get to higher ground to take shelter!"
"Dad, no, I won't go!"
Hearing what the neighbor had just said, Xiangling was a little stunned, but when Master Mao pulled her, she immediately came to her senses and spoke up.
"What do you mean no? Are you crazy, you little brat?!"
"I'm not crazy!"
Xiangling shook her head seriously and said.
"I want to go to Qunyu Pavilion!"
"It's not that dangerous. What are you doing there, a girl like you!"
Master Mao straightened his face and spoke.
"Father, I have the Eye of God, there won't be any problems."
Xiangling quickly spoke up.
"Besides, I have a feeling that my brother is... fighting there right now, and I... want to go help him..."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Master Mao lowered his head and remained silent.
"father!"
Xiangling panicked and instinctively tried to kneel down.
"Alas, daughters are gone once they grow up..."
Master Mao smiled and shook his head.
"Go, and take care of yourself."
"Huh?...Okay!"
Xiangling was a little stunned at first, but she quickly came to her senses and waved to Guoba next to her.
"Guoba, let's go!"
"Lululu~~~"
Guoba waved to Master Mao, then happily followed Xiangling, running towards the direction of Qunyu Pavilion.
"Honestly, this personality is exactly like yours..."
Master Mao shook his head, both amused and exasperated, then turned and went into the shop.
"Come back safe and sound..."
"All my life's work has been put into this shop. Now, I'm not going anywhere else. I'm going to stay here and wait for my daughter to come home!"
………………
"Chongyun, let's go!"
Releasing Qianyanjun, whom he was holding onto, Xingqiu looked at his companions and spoke.
"Go? Where to?"
Chongyun looked completely bewildered, his expression blank and adorable.
"Go to Qunyu Pavilion, that is the front line against the demon god."
Xingqiu said with a solemn expression.
"Fight against the Demon God?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Chongyun's face, but he still nodded.
"Okay, let's go!"
"The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people. Today, let me, Xingqiu, demonstrate this spirit of chivalry to the world!"
Xingqiu murmured expectantly, while Chongyun covered his face helplessly.
"What's this called? Oh right, Brother Jiang Mu once said that this is called...chuunibyou! And there's even a disease called chuunibyou disease..."
Chongyun thought helplessly...
………………
Hall of Rebirth
"Zhongli, are you telling the truth?!"
Hu Tao's beautiful plum-blossom eyes widened as she looked at Zhong Li, her eyes sparkling.
"Master Hu, when have I ever lied to you..."
Zhongli looked at Hu Tao with a helpless expression on his face.
"Young friend Jiang Mu is currently at the Qunyu Pavilion, fighting alongside the Seven Stars of Liyue. If you don't believe me, why don't you go and see for yourself?"
"But...this is the Hall of Rebirth..."
Hearing this, Hu Tao was somewhat tempted, but when she thought about the mess that Wang Sheng Tang still needed her to clean up, she became dejected.
"Master Hu, actually, I can help you look after some of the affairs of the Hall of Rebirth..."
Zhongli cleared his throat and said.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Tao's eyes lit up. She stood on tiptoe, patted Zhong Li's shoulder forcefully, and said happily.
"As expected of my second most valued guest elder, since you have this awareness, then I will entrust this glorious task to you!"
"wait……"
"Whoosh~~"
Before Zhongli could finish speaking, Hu Tao dashed out in a flash...
"Really..."
Zhongli was somewhat amused and exasperated, but he still turned his head and looked in the direction of Qunyu Pavilion, muttering to himself.
"I hope everything... goes well..."

abyss
"Your Highness, the Fools of Winter have committed all their forces, while the Three-Eyed Five Manifestations and the Seven Stars of Liyue are using the Returning Machine to attack the Maze God."
Kong stood on a high platform not far away, and beside him, a fire-attribute abyss mage was reporting on the current situation of Liyue.
"I understand. Is there anything else?"
Kong nodded and continued to ask.
"Your Highness, we have discovered that your blood relatives are now also on the front lines against Oser."
The Abyss Mage continued, glancing up to observe Kong's expression.
"Did Ying go too...?"
Upon hearing this, Kong nodded, then seemed to remember something and spoke up.
"Is that guy... there too?"
The Abyss Mage, of course, knew who his Highness was referring to as "that guy," and after a moment of silence, he respectfully replied.
"Yes, it seems to be Liyue Qixing's arrangement. He is currently dealing with Oser, drawing his attention and buying time for Liyue Qixing."
"I see..."
Upon hearing this, Kong seemed to understand something, and after thinking for a moment, a smile appeared on his lips.
"I have a task for you."
"I will obey Your Highness's orders!"
The Abyss Mage bowed respectfully.
"Take this." Kong waved his hand, and a black mist sphere appeared before the Abyss Mage. "Go to the battlefield between the Liyue people and Osel."
"When Oser shows signs of fatigue, inject it into Oser's body!"
"Yes, it is your will!"
The abyss mage accepted it, bowed again, and then slowly floated away...
He stood there, hands behind his back, a mysterious smile on his face.
"Heh... If you want to have any improper thoughts about Ying, you need to have some strength first..."
“My ‘dear’ brother-in-law, you must accept this wonderful gift I’m giving you…”
