Over there in the eastern mountains?

Wasn't that the place she had in mind before?

Damn it! (〃>皿<)

"Also, those Fatui guys are eyeing Kyogre. I'm currently too busy to deal with them, so keep an eye on them and consider it helping me take care of Kyogre."

Keqing: "..."

What do you mean by "helping you out"? It's like you're already yours.

"Another thing is..."

Ningguang wanted to say something more, but Keqing forcibly interrupted her spellcasting.

“Ningguang, I also have something to tell you. This morning, Kyogre and I discovered that there is a demonic will causing trouble beneath the ruins. Although it won't have a major impact, we should still handle this matter with caution.”

"Ok?"

Ningguang paused slightly.

“And another thing…” Ke Qing pointed at Su Zhe, “I’ve ridden him.”

Su Zhe and Ning Guang: "???"

It's said that one woman is like five hundred ducks, and facing Keqing and Ningguang competing on the same stage, Su Zhe had no intention of lingering.

He made Ningguang get out of the car, then flipped over and jumped into the sea.

Watching Su Zhe slip away, a subtle thought welled up in Ning Guang's mind.

Her little whale doesn't seem as innocent as it appears.

"Alright, is there anything else you want to say?" Ke Qing thought smugly. "If not, come with me to the camp. There are some things I need to talk to you about."

Ningguang withdrew her gaze from the distant sea, looked at Keqing's expression, but said nothing.

She walked towards Ke Qing, stopped beside her, turned her head and smiled.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, Kyogre can actually communicate normally with humans."

Ke Qing's expression froze, and she asked awkwardly, "W-what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, you absolutely mustn't tell him anything personal or private, otherwise someone else might find out by accident."

After saying that, Ningguang walked away with elegant steps, leaving Keqing standing there, stunned and bewildered.

...

Mondstadt.

As the starting village in the game, Su Zhe felt that its design in various aspects was unsatisfactory.

The map structure is simple, the plot is short and rather 'childish', and there's not a single place on the map that makes you want to stay for more than three minutes. Since the new map was released, Su Zhe has hardly spent any time in Mondstadt.

If I had to describe Mondstadt in one word, it would probably be a 'fairytale kingdom'.

The political management is like a game of make-believe, the citizens of Mondstadt are like overgrown babies, and there's Timmy, who cries and betrays others, standing guard at the door. If you turn left after leaving the gate, you might even encounter a lost knight.

Look, he's going on a long expedition, but he got separated from his troops right at his doorstep.

Grandpa Lu probably couldn't stand it anymore, so a winery owner started working as a Nightmare Hero.

It's a pity about Jean. She's been busy running around Mondstadt all by herself, from town management to fighting enemies to finding dogs and cats. It seems there's nothing she can't do, and it seems like only she can do it. What's surprising is that everyone in Mondstadt takes it for granted.

In short, aside from the initial vague feeling of playing the game, Su Zhe's overall evaluation of Mondstadt was not high.

Ultimately, however, what happens to Mondstadt is none of his business. He's here to find treasure, and this is, after all, reality. Maybe Barbatos is secretly working to make Mondstadt as prosperous as Liyue next door.

wow~~

The seawater surged into waves, and the adorable blue whales happily rolled around in the sea.

From Guyun Pavilion to the snow-covered mountain area, a biting wind blows down from the mountains, and even the temperature in this sea area drops significantly.

In the distance, shrouded in mist, one could vaguely see the figures of Hilichurls moving about in the camp.

The kingdom atop the snow-capped mountains has long since vanished, but the snow and wind here continue unabated.

Legend has it that the Snow Kingdom existed during the War of the Demon Gods, when Mondstadt was under the rule of the Lone King of the Tower, and the land was covered in ice and snow.

Humanity fled the rule of a tyrant and created a new kingdom. Initially, this kingdom was protected by the gods, and everything flourished. Unfortunately, this prosperity was short-lived. From the moment the Nail of Frost fell, the kingdom was abandoned by the gods.

As night fell, Su Zhe emerged from the sea and looked toward the summit of the snow-capped mountain.

All I could see was a raging blizzard, the wind and snow biting fiercely.

"I hate farming Ice Dungeons."

Su Zhe muttered something, then flipped himself into the water. His sixteen-meter-long body created a splash, startling the surrounding sea fish into fleeing in panic.

The destination of this trip is Mondstadt, but the journey is quite long, passing through beautiful snow-capped mountains, so naturally I wanted to come and check it out.

But as it turns out, the scenery in real life is much worse than in the game; it's all gray and white, and there's nothing to see.

wrong.

Su Zhe looked into the distance.

That was a remote corner of the mountains. His spiritual perception was very strong, and even after arriving on land, he could still extend a certain distance.

At this moment.

Under the firelight, in that corner of the landscape, for a fleeting moment, Su Zhe seemed to see two large, white steamed buns.

This discovery puzzled him for a moment, and he approached with curiosity.

The snow-capped mountains are covered in snow, but there are exceptions, such as some places where steam rises.

"There's a hot spring here? That's unbelievable!"

The light source was some distance from the sea surface, but it was in a place with a wide field of vision. What Su Zhe just saw was when the light source illuminated that white body most brightly.

Normally, it would be impossible for a peeping to happen here.

Unless someone stays in ice water like Su Zhe.

But in all honesty, he didn't mean to spy; it was just a wariness he developed from spending so much time at sea.

As for why they are wary of the shore, it's naturally because they are worried that someone might stand on the shore and launch a sneak attack.

However, it's no longer available.

Regret.jpg

Su Zhe turned around, causing the seawater to churn, but just as he was about to leave, he keenly sensed the impending danger.

Amidst the biting cold wind, a figure descended from the sky, stepped onto the rocks near the shore, and leaped up again, wielding a sword and slashing.

"--judgment!"

A cold, clear voice rang out.

The water here is very deep, so Su Zhe is not far from the shore. This leaping slash is guaranteed to hit him.

However, just as Su Zhe was about to counterattack, the person in the air suddenly turned his sword and swept out the power he had gathered.

Click click click click~~~

The power of frost froze the sea surface, and crisp footsteps rang out. Su Zhe looked down and the first thing he saw was a pair of long, white legs.

Those legs are practically on par with Ningguang's.

Further up, what comes into view is a beautiful and proud body curve, the perfect arc showcasing the softness of a woman's body, full without a trace of excess fat, as dazzling as a carefully polished jade.

Even Su Zhe was taken aback to see such a view in this awful weather.

Then, the girl's voice came.

"So it was a whale... Strange, a blue whale coming here. Hmph~ Were you the one who was spying earlier? I'll remember this grudge."

"..."

"Not going to speak? Well, being caught red-handed makes you feel ashamed beyond words. But while keeping silent is a good thing, you have to correct your attitude after making a mistake. You thought you could get away with it by not speaking. I'll remember this grudge."

"..."

"Waaaaah... It's a blue whale! It's so, so cute!"

"???"

Seemingly having finally abandoned even her last bit of reserve, Yura squatted down, excitedly reaching out to pat Su Zhe's back while muttering to herself.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

"..."

Oh, this.

Su Zhe was wondering which emoji he should use at this moment.

Yura Lawrence, a descendant of the old nobility of Mondstadt, is the renowned Wave Knight and a beloved bomber in the game. Her ultimate skill is powerful and explosive, and it is rumored that skilled players can even unleash a terrifying seven million damage in the Abyss.

With a beautiful face, a stunning figure, and a mature, sophisticated demeanor, she possesses a warm heart beneath her cold exterior and is undoubtedly the possessor of the Ice Attribute Divine Eye.

And this guy seems to really enjoy soaking in hot springs.

Su Zhe remembered that there were hot springs on this snow mountain, but he didn't expect there to be one here as well.

Even though it was late at night, Yura was only wrapped in a bath towel and didn't feel cold at all.

Instead, he kept touching it, his excitement overflowing. For a moment, Su Zhe didn't know whether to leave or stay.

"How amazing, you didn't run away? It seems we are destined to meet... For this reason, I'll forgive you for what happened earlier."

Yura said to herself.

She came here to relax after completing a mission in the snowy mountains today. This is a secret base she discovered, and she has only brought Amber here before, so it is very safe.

But to my surprise, as soon as I came out of the bath, I felt a lewd gaze coming from below.

Thankfully, it was just a baby whale, otherwise she would have held a grudge for the rest of her life.

The Lawrence family's glory has been reduced to this mere dignity.

Yura remembered a 'romantic' story she had overheard from a bard: a girl's body was accidentally seen by someone, and according to the rules of her tribe, she either had to kill that person or marry him. She had thought it was ridiculous at the time, but she never expected that such a thing would almost happen to her.

"Hmph~ It's a good thing you're a little whale, otherwise you'd be in big trouble."
