However, there are probably only a handful of alchemists on the continent of Teyvat who can achieve this level, and Abe probably created it by accident. As long as he doesn't tell anyone, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Having figured things out, Abedo withdrew his gaze. After leaving this secret realm, he needed to properly discuss with Abedo some of the precautions passed down among alchemists. He originally thought that these things would not need to be explained to Abedo for several more years, but he did not expect Abedo's progress to be far beyond his expectations.

"You bastard Abedo, what are you thinking? Let me tell you, you can't even think about messing with me, your test subject, you hear me?"

I'll try my best.

"You bastard Abedo, go to hell! Last time on the ship, I lost to you because I wasn't used to the swaying. Now that we're on land, do you really think I can't beat you?!"

As Shiki watched the two identical brothers locked in battle, he, a tiny paper doll, could only hide behind a box with Abe's colorful trick flower, observing the fierce fight between Abe and Abe. Shiki found it hard to believe that the two of them were alchemists.

While Abedo and Abedo were fighting, Su Bai and his group had finished their lunch inside the festival. Perhaps because this festival was the first large-scale festival since the lifting of the lockdown order, the variety of food at the festival was very rich. Su Bai and his group spent a long time choosing before finally settling on a stall selling caviar omelet rice bowls.

"Tsk, this caviar tastes really good. Each bead is plump and there's plenty of it. I'll definitely come back for another one next time."

Su Bai savored the caviar she had just tasted. It was rare to find caviar of such high quality at such a low price. Xiao Gong, on the other hand, was not interested in the caviar. What interested her was the thick omelet. The omelet was very tender and smooth. Xiao Gong felt that ordinary chefs simply did not have this skill.

"Now that you've eaten your fill, and I even bought a bunch of snacks for Klee, shouldn't you go back and take a nap, Klee?"

“Abedo specifically told me to let you take a nap at noon, little Keli. I’m sure you’ll be interested in the fireworks display tonight.”

When Su Bai suggested that she take a nap, Ke Li seemed a little resistant. Her little hands kept tugging at the hem of her clothes, and her eyes were full of reluctance. Seeing Ke Li like this, Xiao Gong couldn't take it anymore before Su Bai could say anything.

“Su Bai, how about letting Xiao Keli help me prepare the fireworks tonight? I need a helper anyway, and with Xiao Keli’s help, I won’t need to bother Dad.”

"But...."

"Brother Su Bai, please, please, please let Keli go and make fireworks with Sister Xiaogong. Keli hasn't fried fish all day, she'll be very good."

Seeing that she might not need to sleep in the afternoon and could play with her sister, Yoomiya, Klee immediately used her cuteness overload. Even someone as pathetic as Ying couldn't resist this skill, so Su Bai naturally surrendered. Under Klee's repeated begging, Su Bai nodded and agreed to Klee's request in a daze.

"Yay! Brother Su Bai is a good person, and Sister Xiao Gong is a good person too. Then I'm going to play with Sister Xiao Gong."

The moment Su Bai nodded, Klee jumped up with joy. Yoomiya Klee chuckled happily. Being able to make fireworks with such a cute child as Klee, Yoomiya could already foresee how fun the afternoon would be.

"Klee, don't get too excited yet. Although I agreed to let you and Yoomiya make fireworks together, I'll also be watching from the sidelines~"

Su Bai rubbed Keli's little head. Anyway, he had nothing to do in the afternoon, so it would be nice to keep Keli and Xiaogong company while they made fireworks. Besides, if he was with Keli and Xiaogong, he could save them immediately if there was any danger.

"Okay~ Klee will be good."

Upon hearing that Su Bai would be watching her, Klee's smile faltered, and her bright smile immediately faded considerably. It was clear that little Klee had quite a few mischievous thoughts.

Seeing Klee's disappointed look after her failed plan, Su Bai chuckled. If Klee were going out with other people, it would be fine, but since she was going out with Yoomiya, he had to keep a close eye on her.

After all, fireworks, if they're powerful enough, are like bombs. If one of those things explodes and ignites other explosive materials, it would be a real problem. The resulting chain reaction could probably alarm the entire city of Inazuma.

(One update today. Currently working on the Sumeru quest. I just don't understand why, after taking on a world quest and playing for an afternoon, I've ended up with more and more quests.)

Chapter 327 Klee and Yoomiya (2)

"So, the big explosion just now wasn't caused by someone sabotaging Inazuma Castle, but rather by your fireworks accidentally exploding?"

Upon hearing the explosion and rushing to check the situation, Kujo Sara looked at the huge hole in the ground and the black smoke billowing out. She then turned to look at the trio who were responsible for all of this.

Looking at Klee, who was being protected behind the trio, Kujo Sara felt a bit oxygen-deprived. At first, she didn't take the information about this Mondstadt Spark Knight very seriously. She thought that the title of Mondstadt's strongest warrior was just something the Mondstadt Knights of Favonius were playing with to fool children.

But now it seems that the Spark Knight is not as simple as she appears, given that she can make such a powerful bomb using the simple gunpowder from the Yoshimiya family. At least Kujo Sara thinks that she was not as destructive as Klee when she was a child.

"Su Bai, never mind, Xiao Gong, why don't you tell me what just happened? Judging from Su Bai's expression, he probably doesn't know what happened."

Kujo Sara bought a mirror from a nearby vendor and tossed it to Su Bai. To Su Bai's surprise, Su Bai took the mirror and looked at his face. He nearly crushed it. No wonder everyone around him was staring at him; now he finally understood.

Xiao Gong secretly glanced at Su Bai's curly hair, which had been scalded by the high temperature, and almost burst out laughing. Su Bai's hairstyle reminded Xiao Gong of a hairstyle called big waves that Ms. Alice had introduced to her before. Now it seemed that Su Bai's hairstyle was quite standard.

Su Bai glared at Xiao Gong with annoyance, then laughed. If it weren't for protecting Xiao Gong and Ke Li, his hair wouldn't have suffered so much. Alas, his poor hair.

After realizing that Su Bai had caught her chuckling, Xiao Gong suppressed her laughter and told Kujo Sara, who was also trying to hold back her laughter, what had just happened.

Rewind to fifteen minutes earlier. It was afternoon, and the lazy sunlight made Su Bai feel drowsy while sunbathing. But even so, Su Bai did not let his guard down.

To prevent Klee from taking out some strange things from her magical backpack and mixing them into the fireworks, Su Bai simply hugged Klee's little backpack to his chest, which made Klee, who wanted to add special materials to the fireworks, a little distressed.

Having years of experience making bouncing bombs, Klee quickly mastered the craft and made a firework that met Yoomiya's standards after Yoomiya demonstrated how to make fireworks several times.

Based on the principle that practice is the sole criterion for testing truth, Klee lit the firework and launched it. Looking at the brilliant red fireworks in the sky, Klee suddenly had an idea. If her bouncy bombs could be made as easily as fireworks, wouldn't she be able to make bombs while blasting fish?

If that's the case, then she can keep frying fish forever. The more Klee thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, so she directly told Yoomiya.

"Sister Yoomiya, can I make some other kinds of fireworks? Klee can also make a kind of fireworks that explodes into a mushroom cloud shape."

Having lived in Inazuma Castle all her life and never seen a mushroom cloud before, Yoomiya naively thought that the so-called mushroom cloud Klee was talking about was just a pattern formed after fireworks exploded. Without thinking much, Yoomiya simply gave Klee a bunch of gunpowder and some basic materials.

And so, Klee created her first self-developed bomb, which she named Simple Bouncing Bomb. Although at the time Klee was only thinking about blasting fish, a few years later, after Klee further modified the bomb, this simple-to-make, highly safe, and moisture-resistant bomb became the fastest way for the Knights of Favonius to clear monsters.

It was precisely because of the creation and widespread use of this bomb that, a few years later, Barbatos, the god of wind, appeared at a Windflower Festival and strongly condemned the Knights of Favonius for their destruction of the ecological environment. He even delivered a highly professional speech. However, these things are still a story for now.

The reason why the bomb made by Klee exploded was not because of Klee, but because the afternoon sun shone directly on the magnifying glass that Yoomiya used to observe ants, and the bomb happened to be directly exposed to the sunlight through the magnifying glass, which caused it to explode.

Yomiya was quite certain of this, because when she tried to take the magnifying glass away, the bomb's fuse had already been lit, and it was too late for her to extinguish the flames.

"So, this was all a misunderstanding?"

Kujo Sara rubbed her temples. She had initially thought someone was trying to sabotage the festival, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. After confirming that there were no casualties, Kujo Sara waved to her subordinates to leave.

“If Klee were one of our Inazuma people, this matter would be easy to handle. After all, she is young and at most we would just give her a lecture. But the trouble is that Klee is a Mondstadt native and a Knight of the Favonius with her own title, so I have no right to discipline her.”

Chapter 328 Klee and Yoomiya (3)

Kujo Sara's words made Klee happy. Could it be that she would finally not have to be lectured this time? That's great! Hehe, I didn't expect that this serious older sister, who doesn't seem like a good person, is actually very kind. Before Klee could be happy for a while, Kujo Sara's next words almost made Klee cry.

"Given your special status, Klee, I will recount this matter to Jean, the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, without reservation. I believe Grand Master Jean should be able to discipline you."

Kujo Sara's words instantly shattered Klee's initial sense of relief. Indeed, the idea that the bigger the shield, the worse the Demon King Dudu is, holds true everywhere.

"As for you, Yoomiya, you're in charge of filling in the crater. There are a lot of travelers coming to Inazuma lately because of the festival. Even if you don't care about your fireworks shop, you should at least think about Inazuma's image."

"It just so happens that your fireworks are almost finished. For the next few days, you can be in charge of patrolling with the Shogunate Army. There aren't many people in the Shogunate Army who can perform, so I'll feel more at ease if you join us for now."

As the crowd grew larger, Kujo Sara gave Yomiya a token to prevent road congestion before leaving, leaving Su Bai and his two companions looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Don't look at me, you two. I'm just wondering why you can make such a powerful bomb with such simple materials, Klee. Your little backpack has been in my arms the whole time, and you haven't taken it with you."

"Klee doesn't know either. She just mixed up the ingredients that Yoomiya-nee brought over and made this new bouncy."

Klee wasn't lying; she had also forgotten the proportions of the various materials she used to make the new bomb. However, despite forgetting the proportions, Klee was confident that she could make another one of these new bombs as long as she had enough materials.

"Little Keli, don't be too happy yet. Check your phone. Leader Qin is calling you in the group chat."

"Hey! Then Klee won't look at her phone anymore. Brother Su Bai, Sister Xiao Gong, didn't you say you were going to take Klee out to eat? Let's go!"

As a child who had been lectured by Jean many times, Klee was naturally very familiar with Jean's rhetoric. Not wanting to be lectured by Jean, Klee simply chose not to look at her phone and let Jean lecture her.

Kaeya: 'Chairman Jean, calm down. Klee isn't in Mondstadt right now, and she might not even be looking at her phone. Lecturing her in the group chat won't do any good.'

Kaeya: 'So I suggest you, Jean, talk to Klee privately and then talk to her. That might be more effective.'

Amber: 'Has Klee caused trouble again? She blew a huge hole in the street. She definitely needs to be taught a lesson. Also, Jean, are you feeling better?'

Qin: 'I'm feeling much better, but Lisa keeps telling me not to go out for work, so I'm getting a bit bored staying at Lisa's house.'

Ningguang: "Please take care of yourself, Qin. I sent some tonics to replenish your qi and blood; they should arrive in a couple of days."

Jean: 'Thank you, Celestial Star. We, the Gungnird family, dedicate our lives to Mondstadt; this little bit of hardship is nothing to me.'

Qiqi: 'You should go to bed early and get up early; that's how you stay healthy.'

Ningguang: 'Captain Qin is indeed admirable. I happen to have something I want to discuss with her.'

Jean: "Tianquan Star, please speak freely. As long as it's within the capabilities of the Knights of Favonius, we in Mondstadt will certainly help Liyue."

Ningguang: 'No, no, it's nothing really important. I just hope Klee from the Knights of Favonius can come to Liyue and help us with a small favor.'

Kotori: 'Klee? What help can she be? She even blew up a huge hole in Inazuma's street today.'

Ningguang: 'Hehe, Jean, the only help we got Klee to do is fry some things for us.'

Qin: '???'

Jean: "That's possible, but our Knights of Favonius need to send someone to accompany Klee. There are so many ancient ruins in Liyue, I'm worried..."

Kaeya: 'Am I going on a company-funded trip to Liyue? That sounds great! I heard a bubble tea shop recently opened in Liyue, I'll have to go try it out.'

Diluc: 'The Knights of Favonius are so pathetic precisely because of people like Kaeya.'

Kaeya: 'Hey, Diluc, what do you mean by that?'

Diluc: 'Just stating the facts, don't worry about it.'

Abedo: "Chairman Jean, I think I can go to Liyue with Klee. We're in Inazuma now, so we can go back to Liyue with Su Bai and the others."

Qin: 'Abedo, you're a good choice too. Thank you for your help.'

Lisa: 'Tsk, looks like your publicly funded trip is off the table, Kaiya. My adorable Qin is staying at my house today with me, so those documents on her desk are yours, Kaiya~'

Kaiya: 'Huh? No, how did this happen to me? I just chatted in the group.'

Chapter 329: The Case of the Statue of the Lord of the Imperial Palace

In the days following the explosion, Klee was kept under close watch by Su Bai, and nothing unexpected happened in Inazuma. Beidou took advantage of the information gap that other fleets were unaware of the lifting of the Inazuma lockdown order, took a bunch of Inazuma goods to Liyue, made a fortune, and then came to Inazuma.

Xiangling: "Beidou-nee, could you please collect Inazuma's recipes for me? I've noticed that while the people of Liyue aren't used to Inazuma's cooking, the children there seem to really enjoy some of her snacks, like the tricolor dumplings."

Beidou: 'Don't worry, Xiangling, it's just some recipes. I'll definitely get them for you. I'll also bring you some Inazuma ingredients later. I believe you can definitely cook delicious dishes, Xiangling.'

Xingqiu: 'Captain Beidou is here! Looks like the festival is almost over. I can finally go back to Liyue in a few days. Waaah, I'm never coming to Inazuma to join in the fun again.'

Beidou: 'What happened? Which bastard bullied Xingqiu? Elbow, I'll get revenge for you.'

Chongyun: 'This... there might be some misunderstanding, Big Sister Beidou. No one bullied Xingqiu; it's just that Xingqiu is too popular...'

Beidou: 'Huh?'

Ying: 'Let me say it. Xingqiu probably just wants to rest right now.'

Ying: 'Xingqiu's novels were so popular in Inazuma that he held a book signing event at the festival, which was inspired by Yae no Miko's feedback. The venue was almost packed with Xingqiu's fans.'

Ying: 'Even Kujo Sara, who came to mediate, couldn't do anything about these fans, so she had to make Yuki work overtime. Poor Yuki has been signing autographs from morning till night for three days in a row.'

Beidou: 'This... I didn't expect Xingqiu's novel to be so popular in Inazuma. I remember his novels weren't very popular in Liyue; my crewmates complained about it back then.'

Xingqiu: 'Although I knew Inazuma had many fans, I never imagined there would be so many! My right hand is trembling so much I can barely hold chopsticks. And when I went out to eat just now, the stall owner even gave me a free grilled kidney! Ahhhhh!'
