The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Andrius almost broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He shouldn't have had any expectations for the embers in the first place. This guy really has something wrong with his brain.

"Big brother, don't mess around. Wherever you go, it will become a death trap." Andrius rubbed his forehead; his head was throbbing.

"So ruthless?!" Yu Jin was shocked. Was this secret really that sensitive?

"Those people in the sky are so ruthless!" Andrius bared his wolf fangs. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have had to sacrifice his body.

"Sigh~, never mind." Yu Jin sighed in disappointment, seeing that this ultimate move could no longer be used.

However, he quickly composed himself. He had plenty of tricks up his sleeve; one more or one less wouldn't make a difference.

“Actually, I know very little about the ancient times.” Andrius looked at Ember’s motionless figure and assumed he was feeling lost.

Actually, Ember was thinking about whether he could write down what Kutri said on paper, so that he could post it on every Fatui Cult or the Abyss Order that came along!

"Oh, by the way, the guy that girl was with should be from Liyue," Andrius continued, thinking that Ember was dissatisfied.

"Liyue?" Yu Jin came back to his senses. It seemed that Zhongli had another request. He wondered if Zhongli had posted it yet.

“Yes, Liyue. As for which one, I’m not sure. Liyue has far more Demon Gods than Mondstadt,” Andrius nodded and added.

"Are you discussing Liyue? I can tell you about that!" Xiangling, who was in the distance, twitched her ears when she heard Ember and Andrius talking.

How lucky! She overheard Guoba's backstory as soon as she arrived. She glanced at Guoba, who was jumping up and down with a chili pepper to hit Lei Ze's knee, and decided that she must find out about Guoba's past when she got back.

“It was just mentioned briefly.” Ember nodded. He had only spent a short time in Liyue, and Andrius had never left Mondstadt in his entire life. What could the two of them possibly talk about?

“There’s so much delicious food in Liyue! If Mr. Ember goes there, you can look me up, and I’ll definitely take you to try all the delicious food in Liyue!” Xiangling said with a smile as she pulled the irritable Guola back.

"Sure, I'm looking forward to it," Yu Jin replied nonchalantly. He still couldn't taste anything; eating? That was a waste of time!

"I'll pass, Wolf Territory is fine." Andrius nodded, but declined.

Putting aside whether it can go or not, even if it does, its current state is enough to put Liyue on its guard.

"Wolf King, here." Lei Ze ran over, clutching his knee. He looked at the chili pepper in Guo Ba's hand with some trepidation. Why was the chili pepper so hard?

Seeing the skewer of meat that Razer offered to his mouth, Andrius laughed and said, "Never mind, Razer, I don't need these tangible things."

Ultimately, it is now merely a soul state. Apart from retaining the most basic senses, all other higher senses have disappeared.

And taste is one of the senses that has disappeared.

"Hard work on yourself, Razer! I really hope to see you pass the trial one day," Andrius, or rather Boreas, said, patting Razer's head.

The wolf king's paws were warm; they didn't seem like an illusory spirit at all.

"Yes, I will!" Razer nodded emphatically, feeling the warmth above his head.

Chapter 231 A Little Surprise

2023-10-14

"Good morning, Catherine." Ember slapped his commission form on the Adventurers' Guild's reception desk and greeted them.

"Good morning... good morning, Mr. Ember." Catherine glanced at the red glow on the horizon, her lips twitching.

It's almost dark, is it still early?

However, Catherine didn't point it out; Ember had always been like this, and she was used to it.

"Catherine, is there a client who has posted a request for Zhongli? Oh, right, this request is from Liyue." After greeting her, Yu Jin wanted to ask Catherine if Zhongli had posted any requests.

After all, he had finally remembered it once, and if he didn't seize the opportunity this time, he might forget it again someday.

“Mr. Ember, this is Mondstadt.” Catherine gave an awkward yet polite smile.

Although the memories of the Catherines are shared, sensitive information such as commissions from different places is not shared.

If you want to know about commissions from other countries, you can only ask Catherine in that region.

"Tsk, well, looks like I'll have to make another trip to Liyue." Yu Jin scratched his head, a little disappointed, but not much.

“However, if it’s Mr. Ember, I, from Liyue, would probably agree.” Catherine said, then closed her eyes slightly.

Then a strange frequency of vibration emanated from Catherine and spread far and wide.

Seeing the light in Catherine's eyes, Yu Jin knew she was on a long-distance call, so he didn't disturb her.

Soon, Catherine emerged from that special state. She smiled and nodded. She said to Ember:

"I just spoke with Liyue herself, and she said yes, and the request has been posted for a long time."

"Huh? A long time?" Yu Jin was immediately surprised upon hearing this.

“Yes! A long time…” Before Catherine could finish speaking, she saw that Ember had already disappeared.

"It was hanging up just a few days after you left Liyue..." Catherine murmured a few words.

Then she shook her head. Forget it. Even if Yu Jin knew that Zhong Li wasn't in a hurry, given his personality, he would still do it this way.

……

"Sa!"

What darted past?

"Is it windy?"

On the streets at dusk today, many people felt the strong wind and the fleeting shadows.

Those are naturally the embers of the journey.

With near-perfect control over his body, Ember can maintain extremely high speeds as he moves through dense crowds.

As for why I ran so fast, it's obviously to get home and lock the door.

When not traveling far, Ember usually leaves his door unlocked. But if he were to travel internationally, Ember thinks it would be better to lock it.

He didn't care about money or possessions at all—after all, he had nothing in his house except bricks. What Yu Jin cared about was the atmosphere of going on a long trip.

Lock the door, take a step, and the journey begins.

The scene before him became increasingly familiar, and with Ember's speed, it wouldn't be long before he was back at his doorstep.

But why is the door open? Have another officer come to steal things?

With that thought in mind, Yu Jin swaggered inside. He figured he'd deal with whatever came his way.

"surprise!"

"Scared me!"

A large group of people suddenly appeared from behind the door, startling Yu Jin.

Looking closer, you can see Catherine, Fischl, Bennett, Erin, Kaeya, Wendy, and Diluc.

And they all have one thing in common: they're all incredibly free. Whether Kaeya and Diluc are free or not is debatable, but as for the others, they're definitely super free.

After recognizing them as familiar faces, Yu Jin patted his breastplate and said with some trepidation:

"More like a shock than a surprise!"

As he spoke, Ember quietly slipped the note from his palm. He was just a hair's breadth away from pinning it on Wendy's head.

"How do you like your new house? I personally oversaw its construction." Wendy seemed completely oblivious to Ember's unusual behavior. He pointed to the newly built house behind him and spoke confidently.

Yu Jin looked up, but to be honest, he couldn't make heads or tails of it. Magnificent and filthy, they were all the same to him.

The only difference is whether there's a fight or not, because generally speaking, the places where he fought would eventually become ruins.

However, Yu Jin did not reveal his thoughts, after all, it was someone's good intention.

So he leaned against the door, nodded, and clapped, all in one smooth motion!

"Yes, yes, this is a really nice house, thank you!"

"yeah!"

Just as everyone was excited, Yu Jin suddenly changed the subject, shrugged, and said, "It's a pity that such a nice house will be left vacant right after it's built."

"what?"

"What do you mean 'oh'? Well, I'm going to Liyue in a few days." Yu Jin clapped his hands, looking completely matter-of-fact.

"I was originally going to leave right away, but seeing how you all are, I've decided to stay a few more days!"

That's not actually the case at all, because he suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten about Lance Sanx.

If he were to go directly to Liyue, Lance Sanx would probably be in big trouble. Therefore, he decided to send Lance Sanx back.

Lance Sanx has been spending all her time eating, drinking, and having fun here; she's probably gained quite a bit of weight. I'm sure the dragon worshippers have accumulated many questions while she's been away. It's time for her to assume the duties of High Priestess!

"I think it's better not to." Wendy's breath caught in her throat again. Right now, many people in Mondstadt are talking about the giant tree in Dragonspine and the huge arena that suddenly appeared in the Temple of the Thousand Winds.

This is all thanks to Ember's good deeds. Wendy thinks that if he stays in Mondstadt any longer, he'll probably take over the whole of Mondstadt.

"Not very friendly, Wendy." Ember put his arm around Wendy's neck, acting as if they were very familiar with each other.

Wendy nudged Ember, and as expected, it didn't budge. His face fell, and he gave up struggling.

"Liyue? Hmm, it is indeed a good place." Diluc nodded. Recently, Liyue has been a hotbed of activity.

The annual Summoning Ceremony is about to begin. Seven Stars, merchants, travelers... countless people with various purposes will gather in Liyue at this moment.

At this point, Ember really chose the right place to go to Liyue.

"I was asked to do this." Yu Jin nodded and released Wendy. Wendy was a bit short, and it was a little uncomfortable for Yu Jin to bend down and hug his neck.

"Hehe, if I weren't busy with something, I would really like to go to Liyue with you." Kaeya's tone carried a hint of regret.

For him, the most painful thing is having something fun to watch, but being blinded by work.

"Heh, if you want to see some fun, go find it yourself. Follow me, or I'll turn you into fun!" Ember saw right through Kaiya's thoughts after hearing his words.

Kaeya is the kind of guy who's willing to get involved in any kind of fun as long as he doesn't hurt Mondstadt.

"Fischl, how many shots can your greatbow fire?" After exchanging a few casual words with Kaeya, Ember turned to look at the girl carrying the greatbow.

"Uh... three... three shots." This time, Fischl wasn't being childish; she scratched her head, a little embarrassed.

To her shame, without using her inner techniques, she couldn't even draw the Dragon Hunter Bow, even when she used her elemental power.

The bowstring of the Dragon Slayer Bow was stronger than she had imagined.

Ember nodded, unsurprised. He would be truly astonished if Fischl could actually draw that great bow.
