The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

As expected of Bronya, the Fire Girl, even now that she has evolved from a girl into an adult woman, she still drives her motorcycle at lightning speed.

If Kiana hadn't grabbed Sirin's arm tightly, preventing her from being slammed to the ground like that, she might be wrapped in bandages now...

In short, the journey ended with sparks flying and lightning streaking all the way, prompting onlookers to exclaim that it was a display of divine speed.

The group finally spotted their target enemy—an apostle dressed entirely in red.

At this very moment, the apostle is fighting a short immortal dressed in green and wielding a long spear.

This immortal's spear is extremely magnificent; it is entirely emerald green, with a sharp edge and a distinctive luster.

Its name is He Puyuan.

The spear traversed graceful arcs as its wielder swung it, its movements mirroring and vying with the attacks of the fire apostle opposite, creating a beautiful spectacle.

"Disappear!"

Seemingly having completed its initial probing, the diminutive immortal donned a mask and leaped high into the air, appearing above the opponent as if about to unleash a devastating attack.

Seeing this, Kiana and Bronya, who were new to the area, both peeked out to watch the battle.

As for Sirin, who was captured by Kiana... at this moment, she was hanging her head with tears in her eyes, looking as miserable as could be.

"Hey? Sirin?! Are you alright? You look like you're injured!"

"Whoa!!! Don't move, your arm is dislocated!"

Finally, after a flurry of activity, Celine had gauze wrapped around her head and bandages around her arms to prevent them from drooping.

But it's alright, as long as I don't die, it's fine?

"Cough cough, we'll find a way to cure you when we get back. Tell us quickly who these two people are, who is their enemy and who is their friend."

"I think they might both be enemies? But they're currently fighting amongst themselves?"

Bronya, who wasn't very familiar with the situation in Liyue, slowly took out her Heavy Bunny 0019. Then, realizing she didn't know the enemy's exact strength, she also pulled out the second 0019 she'd obtained from Sirin. She held the guns with both hands, aiming them at the two people currently engaged in combat.

However, before she could inquire further about the two people's situation, Xilin stated quite bluntly:

"That little green guy is Xiao. Don't let his small stature fool you. He's one of the top demon-slaying masters among the three-eyed, five-manifested immortals of Liyue. He's practically our friend. As for the one on the other side, he's an apostle from the Abyss. Kiana has encountered similar ones before and dealt with them. Don't overthink it, just take them down."

"Hmm." Kiana nodded slowly, then held the King's Sword and turned her gaze to the new apostle.

Although it's unclear why Abyssal Apostles are here, their presence in the world of Teyvat is definitely not for sightseeing.

Their appearance must be accompanied by some kind of conspiracy!

With the Lunar New Year approaching and the Lantern Festival about to begin, the event is drawing near.

Perhaps there are intricate connections between them?

Just as Kiana and Bronya drew their weapons, preparing to join the battle...

"Hmph! Yaksha, utterly pathetic!"

The apostle gave a cold snort, and then unleashed a burst of fiery elemental power.

With a loud 'bang!', the flames burst forth.

As the temperature rose, Xiao sensed danger. However, he did not stop, but continued to smash without hesitation.

"Humph!"

'bump! '

Another impact rang out, and the wind element's unique diffusion ability caused the flames to spread.

As the flames erupted, the apostle was instead burned by his own fire and forced to retreat.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

And as he coughed incessantly, an intensely hot power began to brew, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

Even Xiao, upon seeing the apostle's entire body burning red like a branding iron, couldn't help but widen his pupils in shock and seemed to panic.

Seeing this, Kiana made a decision.

She knew she needed to act immediately.

Therefore, she charged forward without hesitation, her wrist slightly twisting as she slashed with her greatsword.

"Ready, ignite!"

Instantly, an even hotter wave of heat erupted from the sword's edge, engulfing the apostles.

"How could this be!"

Caught off guard, the apostle was struck by the greatsword and sent flying several meters backward, wounded. Even as he was thrown back, Bronya, positioned behind him, decisively raised her gun and fired.

As the laser beams tilted, the Fire Apostle was blasted to pieces amidst the hail of bullets, turning into fragments and disappearing from this world...

The battle ended, and Xiao slowly waved his hand to remove his mask, then stared intently at the two who had suddenly attacked. His gaze finally settled on Kiana, whom he had met a few times before.

"I saw you at the Wangshu Inn. But I don't know who you are..."

Out with the old, in with the new, an unforgettable Lantern Festival (Liyue New Year): Chapter 10 Bronya: Hold me tight, we're about to accelerate!

The Guardian Yaksha Xiao is a famous three-eyed, five-manifested immortal in Liyue, though this is only true among the immortals.

However, legends about him often circulate in the Liyue region. The Yaksha who vanquishes demons under the moonlight is also known as the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons by the immortals.

He wields a spear formed from the jade of the demon god, along with a phantom. This spear possesses the weight and sharpness to slay ancient sea beasts, enabling him to better slay demons and vanquish evil spirits.

It can be described as an absolute divine weapon, and also Xiao's most handy weapon. And he has wielded this spear alone, guarding the land of Liyue for thousands of years...

For some reason, after hearing the message from Sirin, Kiana was reminded of an old friend.

Squad Leader Fu Hua...

I remember that she once stood alone for thousands of years to protect others, and all her actions are worthy of praise from the world.

Are they all immortals who exist to protect others? They make me feel very close to them.

Thinking of this, Kiana nodded and introduced herself:

"Oh, my name is Kiana. It's nice to meet you, Great Sage Who Subdues Demons. I saw you at Wangshu Inn before, but you seemed to be busy and didn't come out. So I didn't say hello."

"Hmm..." Xiao stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then replied coldly, "Before, a strange pack of wolves ravaged the wilderness. I was busy clearing them out for several days, and then they vanished overnight. I suppose you guys had a part in that, didn't you?"

A strange pack of wolves?

When Kiana first heard the word, she paused for a moment, then recalled that she and Gan Yu had indeed dealt with many Beast Hounds in Liyue. These creatures moved in packs and their habits were no different from those of wolf packs.

Therefore, it is not surprising that they were a pack of wolves.

Xiao has come to the right person, after all, he was the one who took down the king of the Beast Realm Hounds.

"I guess so," Kiana nodded slowly.

Thank you.

After confirming that these people had helped him, Xiao readily expressed his gratitude. Although he was calm and not very outgoing, he still understood basic manners.

"If you encounter any danger within Liyue, you may call upon my divine name at any time. I will respond immediately."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the short, green immortal vanished without a word, turning into a green shadow.

He walked so fast that Kiana and Bronya didn't even have time to react.

The two looked around, puzzled for a long time, before finally realizing that the great immortal had left without saying goodbye.

"Such speed, it felt like they disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Kiana surveyed her surroundings and realized the danger had passed. In short, she was safe for the time being, and thus decided to return.

However, just as she turned around, intending to call Bronya to go back together...

Why did this person leave in such a hurry?

Bronya, who was usually calm and farsighted, suddenly stroked her chin and pondered.

"Could they be plotting something behind the scenes..."

"You can rest assured, it won't happen."

The doll Sirin slowly turned around and followed her master Kiana, then answered without looking back.

"Xiao is a guardian deity of Liyue who has protected this land for thousands of years. He is irreconcilably opposed to demons, so there is no need to worry about him."

"Is that so? Okay then."

With Sirin's assurance, Bronya put aside her concerns and followed Kiana to the motorcycle.

However, just as she was about to reach out and grab the handlebars for a thrilling ride...

“I’ll do it, Bronya.”

Having learned from past mistakes, Kiana swiftly grabbed Bronya's wrist, then put on a 'kind' smile.

I never expected that the talkative kid from before would ride so fiercely after his legs were freed. Just now, sitting on the back seat, if I hadn't held on tight, I would have tumbled off the bike like Celine.

The fact that someone can ride a motorcycle so arrogantly is probably because there's no traffic police in this not-so-modern place.

Otherwise, if two people are driving without a license and get caught, they will be impounded along with their vehicle.

Of course, even without intervention, the combination of treacherous roads and reckless driving is already quite dangerous.

"So let me do it?"

Kiana gripped Bronya's slender wrist tightly, extremely reluctant to let her continue speeding.

Unfortunately, the other party had no intention of obediently complying at all.

"Hmm...no need, I can manage."

Bronya forcefully pulled her hand away, showing no sign of backing down, and they battled in strength.

Neither side was willing to back down, and neither side wanted to compromise.

And so, as the sun sets and the sunlight dims.

Two girls, hand in hand, suddenly appeared in the wilderness of Liyue, refusing to drive away for a long time...

"Bronya! Be good, listen to me. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to drive in the future," Kiana tried her best to coax Bronya, hoping to persuade her to restrain herself. "I'm in a hurry to get back to sleep with Mei now, it would be bad if we got into a car accident on the way."

"Don't worry. My technique is very reliable!"
