Hearing the extra emphasis placed on the word "Lady" when referring to the traveler, how could Juexi not know what she was thinking?

"Rosalyn, you want to know what I just traded with the Queen, and what the mission is, right?"

"Hehe, how could I dare to inquire about you?"

"Don't worry, Rosalyn, I wouldn't hurt you for any reason, not out of either emotion or reason. You're my colleague, and as for feelings..."

Jue Xi walked to the lady's side and whispered.

"Rosalyn, don't forget that you are my puppet now. I am your master. You should respect your master, understand? A puppet has no right to question its master's decisions."

Upon hearing this, the woman flew into a rage, whipping her arm and unleashing a burst of flames. However, this flame was merely a means to create some distance between Yu Juexi and the man before her. Even in her anger, Rosalin knew she couldn't harm this terrifying individual; such power was likely beyond the capabilities of even the Seven Gods…

Jue Xi continued her mockery.

"Anxious?"

"How dare you! Mu Juexi..."

The woman was silent for a while, wanting to say something but then remained silent. She couldn't beat this damned man either, and she was furious. One day she would skin him alive and take Kiana away... Ugh, what was she thinking? Kiana was so love-struck. She killed Juexi, so Kiana would definitely fight her to the death.

The lady gradually calmed down and said.

"Mu Juexi, do whatever you want. I can't control you, and I'm too lazy to ask."

After saying that, he left in a hurry. Kiana also came up to him. Although the words were not loud, Kiana still heard them. She asked Juexi seriously.

"Captain, what you just said was really hurtful! Why did you say that..."

"Sigh, I know Rosalyn is all bark and no bite, and I know she values ​​her pride more than anyone else. I said those things on purpose just now to tell her not to bother me lately. We'll talk about the specific reasons later, Qibao."

Juexi led Kiana and Qiqi to find another ship at the port. They would return to Liyue today and go to Inazuma tomorrow after finishing their business. As for the reward, it didn't matter if they arrived first; the reward would be credited to their account the moment Ying stepped onto Inazuma, so they didn't need to arrive at the same time.

……

Meanwhile, Yingmei encountered a strange man with blond hair, just like herself. Yes, it was Daines Reibu…

"My name is Daines Reb. What can I do for you?"

"That's what the strange blond guy said."

Yingmei replied.

"Actually, it's a recruitment drive by the Adventurers' Guild."

“Okay, but you have to pay me five hundred Mora and three questions in advance.”

"Okay, but do I need to answer all three questions correctly?"

There is no right or wrong in the "answer" to a question, but only different "attitudes". I just want to know your choice, traveler.

"Okay, please ask."

"The dragon scourge in Mondstadt was resolved by you and that... wind god who calls himself Venti. In your opinion, who was the key to ending the dragon scourge?"

How do you know Wendy is...?!

"Please don't be surprised, traveler, tell me your answer."

"It should be Juexi."

"Oh? Mu Juexi? I ​​see."

"The second question is about the Geo Archon, who has protected Liyue Harbor for thousands of years. He used his divine heart to establish a so-called 'contract that ends all contracts,' the contents of which are unknown. Who do you think will protect Liyue Harbor after the loss of a god?"

Paimon muttered to himself from the side.

"You even know that..."

Yingmei didn't say anything after hearing Paimon's words, but answered Dain's question by saying...

"Everyone in Liyue Harbor."

"One last question: In this world, who do you think is more important to the gods—those with the eye of God or those without?"

"None of it matters."

After asking these three questions, Dain thought for a while.

"Indeed, you are very similar to him. Apart from the first question, it seems I need to meet Mu Juexi."

Yingmei immediately realized who this "he" was, and wondered if it could be her brother, so she asked.

"What do you mean? Who is this 'he' you're talking about?"

Dain didn't give a direct answer to the question. Instead, he chatted with Ying about random things to temporarily gloss over the issue and even tricked her into working for him...

"Based on some clues I have, the Abyss Order has re-entered the Temple of the West Wind Eagle. Meet there; perhaps your questions about the Abyss will be answered there."

As expected, Yingmei has started her part-time job journey again...

Yingmei and Dain first arrived at the Temple of the West Wind Eagle, where Dain answered some of Yingmei's questions about the Abyss. Later, they arrived at Wolf's Lair and discovered monsters driven by the Abyss by the campfire. After clearing out the monsters, Dain led Yingmei and Paimon to the Ruins of the Wind Dragon...

Dain continued recounting her experiences...

"Actually, in my memory, most of these ruins have nothing to do with that dragon. When I first saw the ruins of 'Old Mondstadt,' the 'Dragon of the East' had not yet fallen, let alone nested here."

Paimon discovered the blind spot and voiced his doubts.

“Huh? But I remember the incident in Tvalin happened hundreds of years ago…”

Dain replied.

"No need to delve too deeply, let's look for the light guide devices around us first."

As Yingmei walked, she pondered. Everyone she'd encountered along the way was extraordinary. No wonder Dain gave her such a strange feeling; he wasn't human after all. Sigh, she wondered where her brother was now, how he was doing, and whether he was like her, wandering around doing missions for others…

Paimon remarked, reflecting on his experience.

"Luckily, we didn't encounter any of those apostles. Otherwise, even if we saw such powerful monsters, it would be best to avoid them..."

Dain couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"Ah, if the dangers of travel can be avoided, that would be perfect."

Yingmei also commented after hearing his remarks.

"Dane seems to know a lot about travel."

Dain seemed somewhat saddened by these words.

"It was just something I experienced when I was traveling with that travel companion."

Paimon asked.

"Hmm, Dain, you keep talking about travel companions, travel companions, where is your travel companion now?"

"He...he no longer travels, because traveling is just too exhausting."

"I see. So why is Dai traveling alone?"

"I still have some things to take care of. After I finish them, I will go home and rest."

Paimon offered words of comfort.

"It's good to have a home to return to. When we travel, we often have to camp out in the wild. Hey, traveler, when you find your family, let's settle down there too!"

Paimon touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

"The fisherman's toast in Mondstadt is delicious, and the Wanmin Restaurant in Liyue is also quite good... In short, I must settle down in a place with lots of delicious food."

Seeing Paimeng Yingmei with her hands on her hips, I couldn't help but smile.

"Paimon, you're thinking too far ahead. Why don't we live with Juexi and the others? Juexi's cooking is really good."

"Oh yeah, there are also many Mora wielding swords!"

Listening to the two's aspirations for the future, Dain also fell into deep thought...

Home? What if you no longer have a home?

Dain stopped thinking about it and said to the two of them.

"Well, let's consider where to stop after you reach the end of your journey. For now, during the journey..."

Yingmei suddenly widened her eyes, as if she had sensed something... and looked towards the cliff on her left.

“There’s a familiar scent on that cliff over there.”

"Huh? What familiar scent is that?"

"I had the same feeling when I came here last time..."

Dain listened to their conversation and replied.

"Besides possibly being someone you know, it could also be a monster you know."

Paimon said anxiously.

"Let's go up and take a look."

……

The group followed the ruins guards until they reached a dead end, where there were no more clues to follow.

Dain looked at a dandelion around her.

"Even a dandelion can't find peace..."

Yingmei stared at the dandelion, seemingly sensing something, and stood there dumbfounded.

Paimon inquired with concern.

"What's wrong with you just now? Traveler, why have you been standing there in a daze for so long?"

"I can feel him."

"Him? Is he your brother?"

Dain looked at Ying, who had a worried expression, and tried to persuade her.

"Worries and anxieties are the enemies of the mind. Your journey has only just begun, hasn't it? At least now you know that he is still in this world."

Ying replied after calming down.

"I understand, I will definitely find him."
