The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Although the way Ember took away the upside-down statue was somewhat unseemly, in terms of the result, it was practically no different from the legendary "hidden power within a sleeve".

"A hidden universe in a sleeve? What is that?" Yu Jin asked in confusion. There are so many new and interesting things in Liyue? And yet another one that he didn't know about has popped up.

"It's a kind of immortal magic that allows one to create a small world within oneself," Shen He explained, referring to the immortal magic he was familiar with.

"Huh? This spell really exists?!" Chongyun was shocked when he heard Shen He's words.

He had always thought it was just a legend. But now, listening to his aunt, he realized there really was such magical magic?

"Of course, but the required cultivation level is extremely high. Among the immortals I know, no one can do it."

"At most, one can create a hidden world by relying on external objects."

Thinking of his master's dusty teapot that hadn't been cleaned in a long time, Shen He couldn't help but add.

Speaking of which, Ying and Paimon did the cleaning last time.

"So that's how it is. It seems my cultivation level is quite high." Yu Jin gestured, realizing that this was what "Universe in the Sleeve" meant. He had learned something new.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a bunch of chocolates containing grass will fly out, and he can say to others: Eat the secrets hidden in my sleeve!

"So, things are finally over." Surrounded by the firelight, Dain saw the underground world return to calm and a sense of relief appeared on his face.

"In that case, let's say goodbye." Dain recalled their discussion about [Sinners], feeling somewhat uneasy.

It's time to lay low for a while. We've been too active lately; the Abyss Order is probably on high alert.

Moreover, Dain believed that the "Sinner" would be more interested in his whereabouts.

Separating for a while is good for everyone.

"Hey? Mr. Dain, aren't you staying? Liyue is going to have the Lantern Festival soon, it's going to be very lively." Xingqiu saw that Dain was about to leave and couldn't help but try to persuade him to stay.

"If you're worried about not having anywhere to go, I have some spare rooms at my house where you can rest for a while, Dain."

"Not just Dain, everyone can do it!"

Xingqiu glanced around at everyone; finally, it was his turn to shine. It seems money really does have its uses sometimes!

"Wow! Luminous, let's stay in Liyue from now on!" Paimon was more excited than anyone else when he heard that he could stay for free.

"That was the plan all along." Ying didn't refute it; in fact, she had originally planned to stay in Liyue.

Who can blame them when Liyue is about to celebrate a festival?

"No, holidays are not my thing... Never mind, I have things to do, so I won't join in the fun."

Din glanced at the excited expressions on the faces of the crowd and swallowed the words "adding trouble" that were on the tip of his tongue.

He's from the old era; he shouldn't spoil the scenery of the new era.

Chapter 391 Floating Life Stone Flies to the Sky

2024-01-02

"call--"

"It flies so fast!"

Under the bright blue sky, a dark shadow suddenly flashed by, and if you paid close attention, you could even hear faint shouts coming from the air.

"Is your aunt really that fierce?"

Yu Jin sat on the Floating Stone, feeling the strong wind blowing in his face, and asked in surprise.

"How would I know?" As soon as Chongyun opened his mouth, a large amount of northwest wind rushed into his stomach, filling him up completely.

At this moment, everyone was sitting on the floating life stone, with Shen He being the only one standing, controlling the direction by making hand seals.

"What an amazing thing! It can actually fly!" Yu Jin stuck his head out and looked down at the ground.

The boundless grasslands and trees are like nature's palette. A gentle breeze blows, and the grass and trees sway, as if the earth is telling its story.

Can't we stop complaining? This place used to be mountains, but now it's turned into wilderness. If the earth really had consciousness, it would probably be jumping up and down in anger.

Anyway, the feeling of being on the Floating Stone is quite different from the feeling of Ember flying around on his own.

Yu Jin was very excited, so he lay down—he had no choice but to lie down, otherwise Xing Qiu and Chong Yun would probably really take off.

As for Paimon, her scarf had already been grabbed by Luminous. Although Luminous usually doesn't hold back when teasing her, she's quite reliable when it really matters.

A poet once said: Flying is always faster than running.

And indeed, the scenery below changed rapidly. Soon, a bustling city finally appeared on the boundless green expanse.

"How do we land?" Ying looked at the crowded floating stones. It was easy to launch these floating stones, but landing them would be difficult.

"I have my own brilliant method." Shen He looked confident.

Looking down, Shen He saw the very conspicuous Jade Palace Plaza in Liyue City. Her master had told her that as long as she went to this plaza, her senior sister Gan Yu would come to pick her up.

Controlling the Floating Stone to the top of the plaza, Shen He took a deep breath. Then she kicked it downwards, and the Floating Stone plummeted rapidly.

Of course, the others on the Floating Stone also fell with it.

"Bang!" The Floating Stone fell to the ground, and the square in front of Yujing Terrace immediately trembled slightly.

"Who is it? Is it an enemy attack?!"

"It's definitely the Fools! They're definitely looking for revenge!"

"What? Are the Fools superhuman? They can mine all day and still have the energy to launch enemy attacks?"

"All of you, step back. You don't need to worry about what happens next."

A clear female voice interrupted the crowd's discussion.

Gan Yu ran out of Yujingtai and looked at the slender figure emerging from the dust with some surprise.

This is probably the junior sister that Master mentioned.

Shen He emerged from the dust and smoke; she seemed unharmed after falling from such a height. Perhaps it was due to her unique physique and the fact that she spent all her time hopping around in the mountains!

The two sisters, who shared the same master, stood facing each other, but the atmosphere was rather cold and desolate.

Gan Yu had only heard of Shen He but had never met him, while Shen He had no idea how to communicate with others.

After a long pause, Gan Yu finally spoke, "Junior Sister Shen He..."

"The floating stone that Master sent is for you to make lanterns for the night." Shen He and Gan Yu had the same idea, but she didn't bother with any small talk.

"Eh? Thank... thank you." Gan Yu took the floating stone from Shen He, somewhat at a loss.

Reaching out and grasping the golden rope binding the Floating Stone, Gan Yu felt a force pulling her upwards.

But this power was too weak, far from enough to lift her up.

"..."

Shen He looked thoughtfully at Gan Yu, who remained unmoved before him. So what his master said was true.

My senior sister is incredibly heavy!

"Achoo!" Gan Yu suddenly sneezed. She wiped her nose with a handkerchief. Had she caught a cold while taking a nap on the recliner yesterday?

"Hey, get up! You were on top of me when you landed, and I didn't say anything."

Just as Shen He and Gan Yu fell into a silent silence, Yu Jin's voice broke the silence.

"How can I compare to you, senior? My butt is about to split in two." Xingqiu stood up from the ground, rubbing his butt.

It seems that, putting aside other factors, the fall from such a height caused significant damage to Xingqiu's buttocks.

"Aren't buttocks supposed to be two halves?" Ember asked, somewhat puzzled. Could it be that the buttocks of Teyvat humans are one whole piece?

That's quite possible, since Ember has never actually seen a Teyvat ass.

"Um... this is a proverb, it means that your butt hurts a lot when you fall, senior, don't worry about it."

Xingqiu thought for a while and found it too complicated to explain. Perhaps this is what the book refers to as "cultural differences"!

“Okay, the Liyue people’s language is a bit hard to understand.” Ember couldn’t figure out how “his butt was split in two” was connected with “it hurt a lot”, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

"What a huge crater! Will we have to pay for it?" Paimon slowly flew up as well. The first thing she did after regaining consciousness was to worry about whether she would have to pay for the huge crater on the ground.

If compensation is required, Paimon thinks it's better not to go to Liyue!

"No need, because you are a hero of Liyue." A purple figure appeared before everyone's eyes—Keqing also rushed over upon hearing the voice.

"Keqing, you're here too?" Ying waved as she looked at the familiar figure in the distance.

"Of course, you guys made quite a commotion." Ke Qing looked at the small crater on the ground and twitched her lips.

Alright, I just got a break, and now I'm busy again.

"But Keqing, shouldn't you be very busy?" Ying was a little puzzled when she saw Keqing arrive so quickly.

Keqing is the planet Yuheng, in charge of land and construction in Liyue. In short, she is Liyue's senior civil engineer.

Liyue desperately needs someone like Keqing right now. Leaving aside the many new mineral veins Liyue has recently discovered, the newly constructed dams around Qingxupu alone should keep her very busy.

"Well... with guidance from a senior, with guidance from a senior," Ke Qing said somewhat awkwardly, as if she had thought of something.

"Senior, can Ember also build dams?" Paimon naturally thought of Ember.

"A dam? I can't do that! You ask me to dredge a river and I can do ten in a day. You want to build a dam? Sorry, I can't!" Yu Jin waved his hand, speaking with self-awareness.

Building a dam requires precise calculations; it's not something that can be solved by simply throwing a stone to block the water.

“It’s not Ember, it’s Montgomery, Senior Montgomery.” Keqing shook her head, then asked Ember, “Senior Ember, did Senior Montgomery specialize in these things where you are?”

As she spoke, a strange light gradually flickered in Ke Qing's eyes, a light called "admiration".

You have to admire him. Ever since Mengote saw the prototype of the dam and proposed dozens of improvement measures, the Liyue leadership no longer just regarded him as a top-tier fighter.

Moreover, Mongot's expertise in underground structural support, mine tunnel design and connection, and underground space expansion is unparalleled.

Almost every newly discovered mine in Liyue has been handled by Mongot.

This not only significantly increased the depth of the newly excavated mine shafts, but also made the mine tunnels more robust than ever before.

Even if Fontaine's large machinery were to operate at full capacity in the mine, it would not cause any accidents such as collapses or vibrations.

This is no longer just high-end combat power, but also high-end technical talent!

Keqing naturally became Montgomery's little follower, asking this and that every day.
