I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

"Eileen, I know it's hard for you to accept. But please forgive my selfishness, I won't let you go."

"You, me..."

Eileen was rambling incoherently and didn't know what to say anymore.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiao stepped forward and hugged her.

"Don't rush, speak slowly."

Feeling the warmth of Li Xiao's embrace, Eileen suddenly calmed down and was no longer so flustered.

After the two hugged for a while, Eileen suddenly spoke:

"You really won't abandon me?"

This is actually what Eileen is most worried about.

If a wind god falls in love with an ordinary person, does an ordinary person really have the ability to make him never abandon her?

"I promise. I am an insatiable person who will keep chasing what I want, but I will never let go of the good things I have already obtained."

"That's good."

Whether it's greed or simply lust, as long as he says he won't abandon her, Eileen is willing to believe him.

The two didn't hug for long, since Fischl was still waiting, and they didn't want to leave her alone while they hugged and whispered to each other.

Upon seeing the two return, Fischl greeted them happily.

"Welcome back, my dearest friend! The echoes of the Dark Night's Pure Land are clear. When shall we set out to conquer the world-destroying dragon?"

“Fischl! Captain Jean has already said it, his name is Dvalin, the Guardian of the East Wind of Mondstadt! Stop calling him the dragon, it will be sad if it hears it.”

Hearing that Eileen's tone was a bit serious, Fischl was startled and snapped out of her chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) state.

"Oh! I... I know!"

But she quickly realized what she meant and immediately changed her tune.

“I am aware of this matter, but the world-destroying dragon I prophesied is not it.”

"Could it be that Your Highness is referring to the legendary dragon Dulin, who fought against the East Wind Dragon?"

Because the two of them were heading towards the snow-capped mountains, Li Xiao easily guessed who Fischl was referring to as the "dragon".

"Hmph, you are right! Lord of a Thousand Winds, you do indeed possess wisdom no less than mine."

"Not at all, my wisdom is but a firefly compared to the bright moon when it comes to you who controls the entire Pure Land of Dark Night."

"Haha! Lord of a Thousand Winds, you don't need to be modest! Even if you are not as good as me, it is only because I have experienced countless years and traveled through countless worlds."

Your future is bright; one day you will reach my level! Until then, as long as you exist in the infinite world sheltered by my wings, I will always protect you!

"Then thank you for your praise, Your Highness. I will definitely work hard to comprehend your vast and profound wisdom and become a great person like you."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Fischl's nose is practically pointing to the sky.

She hadn't met such a compatible playmate in a long time since she grew up.

This excited her greatly, and she wished she could talk to him all the time.

Eileen, standing to the side, was completely at a loss. She couldn't get a word in edgewise! But she realized she had misunderstood Fischl and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, Fischl, I misunderstood you."

Fischl didn't seem to care much.

"It's alright! Since you, Sword Saint Westwind, are now my kin, how could I blame you for your advice?"

At this moment, Li Xiao spoke up.

"There is something I don't understand, and I hope Your Highness can enlighten me."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Although the demon dragon Dulin is dead, his heart has continued to beat for hundreds of years, and the location where he is located is extremely dangerous."

While you are unlikely to pose a threat, you are, after all, only in human form, which limits your mobility and makes it difficult to fully utilize your strength. Why would you want to go there?

Fischl looked at Eileen: "This is a trial that the Knight of Favonius requested me to give her. After she succeeds in the trial, she will gain even greater power!"

Oh? Eileen asked Fischl to train her? She wants to get stronger through this kind of real combat?

"Well, I wanted to keep up with you too. But I didn't know Fischl would take me to the snowy mountains. I thought it would just be about fighting Hilichurls in the wild."

Eileen spoke up a little shyly.

"Then don't go. Going to the snow mountain right now would just be suicide. If you want to get stronger, I'll help you tonight."

"Tonight? I can become stronger in just one night?"

Li Xiao smiled mysteriously.

Why don't you try it tonight and you'll see?

"Could it be that..."

Eileen seemed to understand something, feeling a little shy yet expectant.

"That's right."

Li Xiao confirmed her guess.

Seeing that the two were speaking in a language he couldn't understand, Fischl felt isolated and quickly spoke up as well.

“What you say is as hazy as the morning star, and is not recorded in the pure land of the dark night.”

Although I, with my wisdom, could easily decipher this, out of respect for you all, I have decided to give you the opportunity to explain.

"Your Highness, it's like this, we've already prepared to return to Mondstadt ahead of schedule."

There is an opportunity there that will allow the Sword Saint of West Wind to gain even greater power. Please allow us to bid you a brief farewell.

Please believe that parting is for a better reunion. When we return to the Pure Land of Night, we will surely be able to serve you even better.

Fischl looked grave.

"In that case, I grant you permission to leave. But wherever you are, I will always be watching over you."

Moreover, I have foreseen the turning point in our destiny; we will eventually meet again!

"Many thanks!"

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Eye of God Absorbed into the Body

After saying goodbye to Fischl, Li Xiao carried Eileen and flew home.

Since the maid Noelle wasn't home, he carried Eileen straight to the bedroom.

As soon as she was placed on the bed, a blush rose on Eileen's face.

"Hmm, shouldn't we take a shower or something? We were adventuring in the wild and we worked up a sweat."

Li Xiao looked down and saw Eileen's jade-like feet, which were wearing tall boots and white cotton socks.

"Okay, but please let me make an ice cream cream puff first."

After all, she wouldn't be able to enjoy it after taking a shower. Although bare feet can be a substitute for a meal, Li Xiao thought wearing socks had a more alluring and subtle beauty.

"Good, good."

Eileen, her face tense, agreed.

Li Xiao took off her boots, and a slight warmth wafted over her. Touching them, she felt that her cotton socks were slightly damp with sweat.

But this method produces no unpleasant odor; instead, it has a subtle fragrance.

Li Xiao had long ago noticed that when he first played with Kaguya and the others in the everyday world, their jade feet didn't have any strange smell, but they also couldn't possibly have a fragrance.

But after they imbued themselves with the seeds of power, they began to emit a faint fragrance, giving off the same feeling as the wind element.

Furthermore, after Barbara and Irene experienced it firsthand, the facts generally proved otherwise. Therefore, Li Xiao concluded that the elemental power of Teyvatri could modify the human body to a certain extent!

Now, even the beautiful girl's delicate feet have become a delicacy; I have no choice but to try them!

(This is just the author's ramblings, written in a fit of madness. Don't ask questions; it's just from the world of anime!)

Eileen's small feet were suddenly freed from her somewhat stuffy boots, and she moved her toes comfortably, which caused her white cotton socks to tremble slightly, creating an alluring curve.

Li Xiao held it in her arms and began to knead and stroke it.

"Hurry up! Touching your feet like that is making me itchy."

"Okay, then you step on the cream maker, stabilize it, and make it produce cream."

Eileen obediently placed her small white-socked feet on the cream-making machine, but it seemed that the machine was a bit too powerful, and she couldn't stand steadily. She could only slide up and down to stabilize the machine.

"Whoo~"

Li Xiao felt the texture of the white socks and showed a comfortable expression.

After more than ten minutes, thanks to Eileen's tireless efforts, the cream maker finally accumulated enough energy and sprayed out a large amount of cream.

Caught off guard, Eileen's feet and body were sprayed with a large amount of cream.

"Oh no! Why didn't you tell me beforehand! Oh no, I'm covered in so much cream, I can't wear this outfit anymore."

"It's okay, I'll buy it for you later."

Li Xiao, carrying Eileen, got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Of course, during their playful moments in the bathroom, things like "you help me scrub my back" or "I'll help you clean your gun" are bound to happen.

So in the end, things went too far, and he couldn't resist making cream puffs in the bathroom.

When Li Xiao helped Eileen out of the bathroom, she was exhausted.
