The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

The Battle Between Fire and Lightning and the Abyss (Genshin Impact): Chapter Thirteen - The Thunder General's Tumultuous Journey to Liyue Harbor

Liyue Harbor, a prosperous and wealthy city.

Built on the coast, it can be called the maritime economic hub of the entire Teyvat. The Liyue people, who are good at business, rely on the Mora currency created by the Geo Archon to firmly control the trade activities of the entire Teyvat.

And thanks to the shrewd management of the Liyue Septim and the renowned reputation of the Liyue immortals, Liyue Harbor remains as stable as the elemental forces that Liyue represents.

It is thanks to this powerful protection that ships from almost anywhere in the Teyvat world can come to Liyue Harbor to do business, trade, and sightsee with complete peace of mind.

However, it is natural to welcome friends from afar with courtesy, but what if there are wolves and tigers among them?

The white-tasseled spears in the hands of the Chiyan Army are no joke.

Today, a ship of extraordinary significance slowly sailed into Liyue Harbor.

Unlike other ships whose canvases are marked with the patterns of their respective countries, the patterns on this ship are very rare and completely different from the mainstream elements and symbols.

As the ship entered, the people of Liyue Harbor looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is this the Death Star?"

"Isn't she the famous pirate ship of Liyue?"

"What's wrong with Captain Beidou today? He actually dared to openly sail into Liyue Harbor..."

The Death Star was an unofficial armed vessel, essentially a pirate.

However, because Captain Beidou and Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, have an ambiguous relationship, it is common knowledge that the two have been in contact.

However, even though it vaguely obtained the official status granted by the Liyue Seven Stars, the essence of the Dark Star remained unchanged.

The pirate ship evoked fear in almost everyone, from the residents of Liyue Harbor to foreign merchants who had traveled from afar.

And now, Captain Beidou has actually sailed the ship in?

For a time, Liyue Harbor was in a state of panic, with many foreign merchants huddling together to discuss whether they should sell their goods as soon as possible.

To avoid being hijacked by Beidou along with their goods.

Unfortunately, these foreign businessmen's worries were unnecessary.

"Phew...you've finally arrived. Gentlemen, we're here. Now, are you coming with me for drinks, or are you free to wander around?"

After successfully arriving at their destination, Beidou immediately ordered the wooden steps to be lowered without saying a word. He then crossed his arms and looked at Kiana and the disguised Raiden General.

To be honest, she really didn't understand why a god from Inazuma would travel so far to come to Liyue.

If you just want to come and take a look, then... that's quite casual.

However, these are not major problems for BeiDou.

She believed that with Ningguang's abilities, even if this powerful deity had any ill intentions, she could keep the situation under control.

Even if she couldn't control herself, she would control the white-haired girl beside her.

"Us..."

Seeing Hokuto's smug and triumphant smile, Kiana also smiled kindly.

"I think I'll pass on the drinking with you guys."

"Oh? Okay, then have a safe journey."

"Um..."

Kiana then took Shadow's hand and stepped down the wooden stairs one by one.

As soon as she disembarked, Shadow, who finally had the chance to set foot on the familiar land of Liyue, lifted her pale purple veil.

"Liyue... I once descended upon this place with her, but alas, now..."

Ying slowly reached out and touched the hair ornament on her hair.

A sense of vicissitude, of things changing and people being gone, arises spontaneously.

She stopped in her tracks, feeling a pang of sadness...

"What's wrong? Ying, why aren't you leaving?"

Sensing the beauty's sorrow, Kiana also stopped.

"I...it's nothing, it's just a feeling."

Ying covered her face, her tone revealing a hint of panic.

Seeing this, Kiana slowly stepped forward and then placed her hands on the goddess's shoulders.

"Shadow, you can tell me if there's anything, I'm right here."

"Hey... Kiana."

Through the pale purple veil, one could vaguely discern the concern and worry in the eyes and expression of the white-haired girl.

"Thank you, I'm fine."

"Really?"

"Yes, let's go. It's been so long since I've set foot on this land; I didn't expect it to have changed so much..."

Seeing that Shadow seemed to have recovered, Kiana nodded:

"Okay, let's go!"

"Who goes there?!"

The sudden question interrupted their thoughts.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, Kiana and Kage spotted a man dressed in the special combat uniform of the Thousand Rock Army, holding a white-tasseled spear and looking at them warily.

"This is Liyue Harbor. Everyone entering and leaving must have a document. Where did you come from?"

The Qianyan soldier stared intently at the two strangely dressed girls, not daring to relax his guard in the slightest.

He didn't know who these two people were or what their background was.

But he understood that it was his mission as a member of the Qianyan Army to not let any suspicious person slip away.

However, this mission proved to be a real challenge for Kiana and Shadow.

"Documents...wait? How long does it take to process this?"

"It could take anywhere from three days to a month or two. Whether it can be done quickly depends on how busy the General Affairs Department is and whether the Seven Stars welcome you."

Upon hearing this, Kiana was speechless.

Keep in mind that at this very moment, she hasn't even met any of the Seven Stars of Liyue yet.

If you simply submit an application, you don't know how long you'll be allowed to stay.

Is this precious holiday just going to be wasted like this?

"Kiana, is there a way? If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed, then..."

As Yuche slowly reached for her chest, Kiana was so startled that she immediately grabbed her hand, stopping her from drawing her sword and going on a killing spree.

Just kidding, I've only been in Liyue for a short time...

He didn't know a single person in Liyue, yet he caused a huge disturbance in Liyue Harbor.

Let's not alert Zhongli and cause a protracted battle between the Rock and Thunder Gods.

That might mean Liyue Harbor will be caught in the aftermath of the battle...

"I need to think of a way... um, but exactly how..."

Just as Kiana was racking her brains, trying to figure out how to safely and properly solve the current problem.

"They are crew members of the Death Star. They are here on a mission. Please don't make things difficult for them, Brother Qianyan."

A gentle male voice suddenly rang out.

Kiana turned around abruptly, only to be surprised to find Man'yō holding a wine jug and looking at her calmly.

Behind him was the Beidou team.

Clearly, the crew had bumped into him while packing up to have a drink, and Captain Hokuto called Manyo over to smooth things over.

"Hmm? You are... the wandering warrior from the Death Star?"

The Chiiwa soldiers blocking their path seemed to recognize Manyo, and immediately showed a surprised expression...

He looked in the direction the wandering samurai indicated, only to find that the captain of the Death Star and his men were staring at him menacingly...

The Battle Between Flame and Lightning and the Abyss (Genshin Impact): Chapter Fourteen - The Young Master Who Almost Died from Three Slashes

In Liyue, Beidou and his group have a somewhat unique status.

Although no wrongdoing has been heard of them on Liyue’s mainland, a group of people who spend their days sailing at sea is still frightening.

This is especially true for the Chiyan Army, who are born and raised there and some of whom have never even been to sea in their lives.

Without exception, all of Beidou's group were potential criminals.

But the most fatal flaw is that... these criminals have also gained the favor of Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars...

"Since they are crew members of the Death Star, then... I can pretend I didn't see them, but the necessary procedures still need to be completed."

Although Qianyan Jun agreed, he didn't completely back down.

Out of a sense of duty, he still had some things to explain.

"Huh? We still need to go through the formalities..."

Kiana found the demands of the Chiiwa Army somewhat unreasonable.

Since you said you could pretend you didn't see it, why bring up the paperwork again?

Fortunately, Qianyan Jun's attitude was not as tough as it had been before.

He simply shook his head helplessly, and then said:

"If you insist on leaving, at least register your names. You don't need to be present; it's just a matter of getting a notebook from the General Affairs Department to write it down."

"Oh? Is that so... Then, I'll do it for you."

"Is that good? I didn't expect you to be so reliable, Man Ye."
