The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

However, Mongot shook his head. He looked at the crowd that was being blocked by the Thousand Rock Army not far away, and among them were familiar figures.

"Give way! Give way!"

Amidst the crowd, Ember pushed and shoved, slowly squeezing his way toward Mongot.

"Stop ahead..."

"You're stopping, huh? But the person they're looking for is me, so please step aside, brother!"

With a gentle push, Yu Jin pushed away the Thousand Rock Army that was blocking his way.

The armored soldier who was pushed away felt a tremendous force coming from him, and then he couldn't help but back away to the side.

Just as he was about to step forward again to stop Ember, he saw Ningguang shake her head at him. Then she waved to the Thousand Rock Army.

Qianyan Jun, who was standing nearby, understood immediately and dispersed the crowd that had gathered not far away.

"Why did you come all this way? You didn't send a single message!" Yu Jin ran up and punched Mengget's thigh.

"Actually, I did send it, but... you didn't respond." Mongot was about to call Ember "King," but considering the situation in Liyue, he swallowed the word "King."

Seeing the calm expression on Montgomery's face, Ember jumped up excitedly, patted him on the shoulder, and muttered:

"Hahaha! You're really something! Montget, you're definitely different from those other women and that silly dragon!"

"You have no idea how embarrassed I was when they bowed to me!"

As Yu Jin spoke, he crossed his arms and shivered. It seemed he was genuinely bothered by those formalities.

"A bow?" Ningguang's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Yu Jin in deep thought.

Mongot glanced at Ember, who was rubbing his hands together, and then at Ningguang, who was deep in thought not far away, and sighed.

"Your Majesty, Montgomery sends his greetings." Montgomery bowed and greeted Ember.

"Um... actually you can call me by my name." Yu Jin scratched his head. Why didn't he greet me when we met, but now he's greeting me instead?

When Mongot saw Ember's appearance, he simply shook his head, smiled, and said nothing.

"King?" Ningguang could no longer remain calm. The word "King" carried such weight that even she, as one of the Seven Stars, had to be cautious.

"Calm down, calm down, I'm retired, I'm retired!" Yu Jin waved his hand to reassure Ning Guang when he saw her expression.

He didn't want the condensation reaction to be too great, or for him to be treated like an executive officer.

Although the Enforcers have diplomatic immunity in many matters, they are also subject to oversight from Liyue.

"Just treat us like tourists." Seeing Ningguang's still uneasy look, Yu Jin continued to explain.

"There's no need to worry about Liyue. The King's kingdom is unimaginably far away from here. For the foreseeable future, I will be the only one coming here."

Montgomery tapped the ground and spoke to Ningguang.

"Is that so?" Ningguang's expression remained unchanged, but the frequency of her breathing had noticeably slowed down.

Without realizing it, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liyue is currently preoccupied with keeping an eye on the potential arrival of the Sages and the restless Fatui. They simply cannot spare more energy to deal with forces in other regions.

With just two people, they probably wouldn't cause any major trouble.

"Do you need a guide for Yujing Terrace? Liyue is a vast and rich land with a long history and many sights worth seeing."

"No need, I am the best tour guide!" Yu Jin clenched his fist, looking very confident.

"Come on! Montgomery! Let me show you a different kind of scenery!"

"learn!"

A gust of wind swept through, and when Ningguang opened her eyes, there were no traces of Ember and Mongot on the ground, except for two large craters left by their trampling.

Looking at the deep pit in front of her, big enough to bury her, Ningguang suddenly felt that the two of them could stir up some trouble.

……

"This is Scarlet Cloud Slope, the most bustling place here. You can see all sorts of novel things here," Yu Jin said, pointing to the street lined with red buildings ahead.

Montgomery looked up and saw that the crowd was indeed dense, but it seemed that in addition to relaxation, there was also a hint of worry on people's faces.

Moreover, Montgomery also discovered that there were too many Thousand Rock Army soldiers patrolling the streets.

And why are people from there all heading this way?

"Damn it, Mongot, you look too special, let's get out of here!" Seeing the curious crowd, Ember grabbed Mongot and ran away from Scarlet Cloud Slope.

"Phew! Finally, no one's around."

On the side plaza of Yujingtai, Ember and Mongot looked around from the bushes. Sure enough, no one could keep up with their speed!

"My king, let me change my appearance," Mongot said expressionlessly, looking at the grass that only covered half of his body.

Montgomery's special skills are transformation and creating clones. That's how he suddenly jumped out of the battlefield crater on the outskirts of the city and startled Ember.

“No need!” Ember looked at Mongot, waved his hand, and an invisible wave enveloped him.

This is something Ember learned from Paimon. With this, even the most unusual appearance won't attract attention! It's incredibly convenient.

"What kind of magic is this?" Just as Yu Jin was feeling smug, an old voice came from behind him.

Turning my head, I saw that it was an old woman.

"Spells? Pretty much, right?" Yu Jin scratched his head, unsure how to categorize them.

Montgomery looked down at the old woman; though frail, she was full of vitality. Moreover, she was no ordinary person.

"noticed?"

Grandma Ping was quite surprised to see Yu Jin poking around her grotto.

I originally thought these two were just lucky to be born into the immortal realm, but I never expected they would have the ability to see through the grotto-heavens.

“I noticed it a long time ago, and besides, I even know those two guys in this pot!”

As soon as Yu Jin finished speaking, two streams of light appeared. Within the streams of light were Ying and Paimon, who had entered the cave within the pot.

"Hehe, young people are so quick and efficient, we can't compare!" Grandma Ping exclaimed when she saw Ying and Paimeng find the Dust-Cleansing Bell so quickly.

"Grandma Ping... Oh? Senior, what are you doing here?" Ying was about to say something when she noticed Yu Jin standing to the side.

"And this one, are you a dragon too?" Paimon also noticed Mongot standing to the side. She looked at the horns on Mongot's head and asked curiously.

“A dragon? I’m not.” Mongot looked at Paimon flying around and couldn’t help but marvel at the wonder of this other world.

Such wondrous creatures can probably only be seen in other worlds.

"Well, looking at your horns, I thought you were a new dragon!" Paimon shrugged, somewhat disappointed.

For some reason, she always had a strange curiosity about dragons. Dvalin and Lance Sanx were the same way, but Paimon never told anyone about this little quirk.

Maybe, perhaps, or probably it's just that I've read too many fairy tales about knights fighting dragons?

"So what are you doing in the pot?" Ember looked at the sizes of Luminous and Paimon. Paimon was okay; if forced to squeeze in, he could probably fit, but Luminous wouldn't be able to.

Given Ying's physical condition, the pot would probably burst from her head.

"Take the Cleansing Bell! Prepare for the Immortal Sending Ritual!"

"We've prepared a farewell ceremony for the Rock King Emperor!"

Paimon, holding the bell, spoke with immense pride. She seemed very proud to be able to participate in the Sending-Off-the-Immortals Ceremony.

"A ceremony to send off immortals?" Yu Jin was a little confused. First there was a ceremony to invite immortals, and now there's a ceremony to send off immortals. Does Liyue have so many rules?

"There's a way to send off the immortals, just as there's a way to invite them. Nowadays, the ceremony for sending off the immortals is kept simple, and the Cleansing Bell is used, which is a very old custom," Granny Ping explained when she saw Yu Jin's puzzled look.

"By the way, Grandma Ping, you're so amazing, and you know so many things that others don't. Are you an immortal?" Ying asked curiously as she watched Grandma Ping talking so eloquently.

"An immortal..." Grandma Ping nodded, then shook her head, her eyes filled with emotion.

"That's about right. You'd better handle this ceremonial ceremony for sending off immortals properly."

"Keep shouting for the murderer, but forget to send off the immortal ceremony. In my opinion, that's putting the cart before the horse."

"You've come to borrow the Cleansing Bell this time, presumably because an old friend couldn't stand it and stepped in to take charge."

Grandma Ping nodded to Ying and Paimon, seemingly quite displeased with the Seven Stars' current actions.

"It was Zhongli who sent us. No wonder he seemed to know everything; it turns out he's an immortal too!"

Paimon exclaimed in surprise upon hearing what Grandma Ping said.

"Zhongli?" Grandma Ping murmured a few times, then seemed to understand something and said, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."

"Alright, you two little ones, get back to work!"

Grandma Ping nodded to Ying and Paimeng, then sent them off to continue preparing the ceremonial ceremony for the immortals.

"Hey, wait a minute! You two just ran away like that? Aren't you afraid of being captured by the Thousand Rock Army?"

"Hehe, don't worry, senior. Although I don't know why, our wanted poster is gone!"

Ying and Paimon waved to Ember and ran away.

"The warrant has been lifted?" Montgomery frowned, but the frown quickly faded. He looked in the direction Ying had gone. Though a young girl, her power was not to be underestimated.

"Gentlemen, it's getting late. Would you like to come and sit in my old woman's cave? It's just been cleaned and is very tidy," Granny Ping said, tapping the brand-new Dust Song Pot.

"No, I'm afraid I'll break your pot." Yu Jin shook his head and pulled Mengget away from there.

Although the Dust Song Pot contains a small space, in Yu Jin's opinion, this space is not only small, but also very fragile.

He was afraid that if he got excited, he might break someone's teapot.

As dusk fell, Ember and Mongot returned to their Liyue cottage. Ember turned to look at Mongot; thankfully, the houses here usually had yards, otherwise, given Mongot's size, he would have been suffocated inside.

"Phew! This is where you'll be staying from now on!" Yu Jin stretched and then tossed a large wooden stump into the yard.

Mongot didn't mind and sat down directly, then gently placed the cursed sword in his hand and the stone table on the ground—the stone table was something Ember had just bought.

Seeing Mongot quietly gazing at the scenery outside like an old man by the door, Ember took a chair from the house, sat down opposite him, and asked:

"How does it feel? It's lively here, isn't it!"
