The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin couldn't help but complain. He had even figured out how to divert the water, but this was the last thing he got.

If the Flower Goddess and the Crimson King were still alive, Ember would definitely give them a good beating.

"An oasis that never runs dry... How is that possible?"

"Even this place will not be able to stay like this in the future."

As Lilupal finished speaking, a breeze blew in from the entrance, and everyone saw the flowers and plants in the Eternal Oasis sway slightly.

The movement was very small, but it did move.

"Let's go, we can go in now. From the moment we crawled out of the entrance, the power here began to gradually dissipate."

"Perhaps a hundred or two hundred years? Before long, this place will also turn into a field of yellow sand."

"It could be a tourist attraction for another one or two hundred years, which is quite nice." Yu Jin stepped into it, and this time the flowers and plants were no longer as stubborn as before.

They were easily trampled underfoot.

"It's best not to, or Feligis will go crazy." Lilupal thought about Feligis above her head and decided that it was not feasible.

She'll definitely be like the spirit guardian in the weapon, biting anyone she sees!

"Here, here! Hurry up and take the picture!"

In stark contrast to the melancholy of Ember and the sentiments of Lilupal, Ying seemed like a true traveler.

She jumped around in the Everlasting Oasis, and every now and then she would ask Paimon to take pictures of her with the phonograph camera.

Chapter 753 Deception

2024-07-02

Stepping onto the water of the Eternal Oasis, Ember felt only novelty. The effects of the power loss had not yet reached the water here, so walking on it was almost the same as walking on land.

Yu Jin bent down and pressed the water's surface. No, this was much sturdier than land.

As soon as Lilupal stepped into the Eternal Oasis, her goal was clear. She floated straight forward until she reached the island in the center of the great lake.

A tree grows on the island, and next to it, broken tree stumps and intertwined vines together form three wooden chairs.

Each wooden chair also has a few lines of small writing on it.

However, Yu Jin didn't look at it. He just randomly picked one that looked good and sat down casually.

Is there even a need to look? These three chairs are obviously the ones belonging to the Red King, the Flower Goddess, and the Tree King.

He didn't cut his head off and use it as a ball!

Glancing at the words behind the chair, Ember nodded in relief. Although the words were gibberish and didn't reveal any names, they were subtly hinting at the Red King trio.

It seems he doesn't need to keep his vow.

Sitting in the chair and looking around, Yu Jin saw a very familiar figure under the big tree.

He got up and ran over, then poked the bottle floating in the air.

"Your twins?" he asked, turning to Lilupal who had rushed over.

"No... these are just fragments of me."

“The owner of the flower is not here, but I have found my own fragment.” Lilupal had an ominous premonition.

The King of the Red Sands was enraged by Lilupal's actions, so he shattered her into countless pieces, causing her to suffer the torment of her soul being torn apart.

This fragment must be the one that was banished to the place where the mistress lies in slumber.

It had waited here quietly for a thousand years, containing a great deal of information. Without hesitation, Lilupal easily fused the two identical magic bottles together, thanks to their close connection.

Lilupar stopped moving, savoring the memories from the fragments and extracting information from them.

The Magic Bottle looked serene and peaceful, no longer displaying its previous sharp tongue. But her quietness made Ying uncomfortable.

"Well……"

Ying, who was posing on the chair, suddenly felt a void in her body, and then something took advantage of the void, making her head spin.

Scenes flashed through her mind. Ying saw palaces and gardens built of red jade... thousands of flowers blooming, and countless birds singing.

At the very center of everything, surrounded by countless spirits, stood a woman of indescribable beauty.

"A super version of Nel?"

Ember held Ying's hand in one hand and scratched his head with the other. He had seen what Ying had seen.

However, in his view, the woman among the flowers was nothing more than a head, two arms, and two legs... Oh, and the two curved goat horns on her head.

Compared to the woman's beauty, Yu Jin was more concerned about her eyes, which were utterly empty, filled only with boundless void, making Ying tremble uncontrollably.

"Snapped!"

A sharp pain shot through Ying's brow, snapping her out of the overwhelming fear of impending doom.

"What I just did was..."

"It must be a dream?" Ember replied uncertainly, while turning to look at the silent Lilupal.

She's the one who caused all this; she should know something.

But the attention of the crowd seemed to have no effect on Lilupal; she seemed lost in her own world.

After a long while, the magic bottle, which had been silent for so long, finally awoke from its reverie.

"She's not here anymore. He lied to me. He lied to everyone."

Lilupal was completely red; if placed in Liyue, it would definitely be a top-notch festive lantern.

Although it sounded serious, Lilupal's tone wasn't actually harsh. It was completely out of character for her as a spirit.

"It seems... something has disappeared from my body."

The usually taciturn Hisa spoke up. Her eyes were fixed on Lilupal, because the moment Lilupal awoke, something within her had vanished.

"That was an agreement from a long time ago, and it has now been automatically voided because of the Red Sand King's breach of contract."

Lilupal sighed, and Ember could detect a hint of melancholy in her tone.

“We are all free now. You can do whatever you want, Shisa.”

Lilupal said to Hisa.

"That's great! It's a bad habit of your town spirits always looking for their masters; you need to change that." Upon hearing this, Yu Jin immediately clapped and praised them.

Does this situation mean that Zhenling's tendency to find "fathers" for himself can be thrown into the trash?

“Really? But that doesn’t mean the contract is over.” Lilupal smiled at Ying, which made Paimon bristle.

"What do you mean by this? Let me tell you, we don't support idlers! Right, Ying!"

Seeing Paimon's smug expression, Ying really wanted to shake her head and tease her. However, after seeing Lilupal's state, she felt that now was not a good time to joke.

“Lilupar, now that you are free, you should do what you told Hisa to do.”

"Anyway, there's nothing here that requires your help."

Ying shook her head at Lilupal. She didn't particularly like Lilupal. Although this town spirit respected her, her nominal master, various details revealed her arrogance.

Ying lacked the confidence to manage this family, whose intrigues were unfathomable.

"Is this so..."

Perhaps because her promise to the Red King had ended, or simply because her freedom came too suddenly, Lilupal's behavior was quite different from before.

He neither mocked Paimon nor tried to seduce Ying.

After pondering for a while, she looked at Hisa.

"In that case, I'll go back to Gül to find the other pieces I've lost, and also to comfort my crazy children."

"Looks like what that foul-mouthed guy up there was telling the truth?" Yu Jin raised an eyebrow.

He initially thought that everything Felicis said before was just nonsense, but he didn't expect that there was some truth in it!

"Indeed, the destruction of Gül is inextricably linked to it. Now, the only person I feel I have wronged is my daughter, Shirin."

"If she were still alive, she would probably have been crying for thousands of years..."

For the first time, Lilupal's tone carried a hint of regret. But to Ember and the others, who knew nothing about it, it only sounded impressive and incomprehensible.

"From what you've said... it seems you've turned over a new leaf?"

"Maybe so. It's just that after so much time has passed, as someone who experienced it firsthand, it's time to clear away the traces of the past."

"That's right, but those spirit-suppressing demons are really crazy. Here's something to help them regain their sanity."

As Yu Jin spoke, he pulled out a sky-blue glass bottle wrapped with ornate silver threads.

A hidden blessing—holy water blessed by the Queen of Lothric.

It can fully restore focus.

In Lothric, there is an unvisited cemetery. It is said that she blesses the warriors who have no homeland as they rest in the darkness.

"Use it sparingly, every bottle we use is one less." Yu Jin held the bottle, then suddenly stopped—Lilupal had no hands, how was he going to give it to her?

"Lilupar thanks you, sir."

But soon, two arms formed of light received the hidden blessing. It seems that the previous fragments of the magic bottle not only brought Lilupal memories, but also power.

Are you going to go with her or not?

Seeing that Lilupal had taken the hidden blessing into her possession, Ember poked Hisa again.

"I……"

Hisa seemed hesitant.

"You're of no use following me." Yu Jin shrugged, not giving Xi Sha any face at all.

Just telling the truth.

"Thinking about it, I should figure out my background before considering anything else."

After thinking about what she had seen and heard inside the embers, Hisa decided to return to Gur City with Lilupal.

"That's right, let's break up!"
