The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Without much thought, the reason the two of them asked him the question was probably because they sensed danger.

If you don't answer properly...

For some reason, Kiana felt that if she didn't answer properly...

Something bad might happen next...

"Ahem!" Kiana coughed to cover her embarrassment, then slowly began, "Actually, I..."

Thank you.

Before Kiana could finish speaking, Shen He slowly nodded, then turned his head and looked at Ningguang.

"Miss Ningguang, do you think I can fit in at Liyue Harbor?"

"That is an interesting question."

Upon hearing this, Ningguang pondered for a moment before giving Shen He a relatively affirmative answer.

"Liyue Harbor is an inclusive city. As long as you abide by its rules and regulations, it will not turn you away."

Out with the old, in with the new, an unforgettable Lantern Festival (Liyue New Year): Chapter 55 Ningguang: "Why is there an extra big one?"

Ningguang then went on to explain the concept of belonging. The crowd nodded, seemingly understanding, but couldn't quite grasp the deeper meaning behind Ningguang's words.

It gives the impression that... her words weren't meant to comfort Shen He, but rather were simply a recollection that led her to casually seek out problems and express her emotions.

Is that so?

Shen He looked calmly at the person in front of him, as if he were not looking at the Seven Stars Sovereign, but listening from the perspective of an observer.

"Ah."

Ningguang smiled slightly, then said nothing more to Shen He. It seemed that, to her, this disciple from the immortal sect who had descended the mountain was not someone particularly worthy of her attention.

In fact, at this very moment, she had another important matter to attend to.

"I hope that Jade Pavilion will always float above Liyue Harbor, witnessing the prosperity and peace of humanity... And I hope you all will join me in witnessing it. The ascension ceremony begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mechanism of the Jade Pavilion was activated.

The floating island, carrying Ningguang's lifelong hopes, slowly rose into the sky...

Huh? Is there something wrong with it?

Where are we going?

Kiana and the others found the sudden ascent of the Jade Pavilion quite strange. Even stranger, of course, was that the pavilion began to drift towards the sea.

It seems there is some kind of enemy on the other side of the coast.

"Tsk..."

Realizing I might have already boarded the ship, or rather... gone upstairs?

Kiana clearly realized that she was probably going to face some terrible enemies next.

"Hey, Sirin."

"What?" Sirin tossed her hair and turned around haughtily, asking, "Is there something you want to ask me?"

Kiana nodded and spread her hands, saying, "Since you already know, I won't waste any more words. I want to ask, if we encounter a formidable enemy, can I directly take them down?"

After all, it's at the level of a demon god...

The key point is that, based on her account, there seem to be two?

If a fight breaks out and Liyue Harbor is damaged, from Zhongli's perspective...

Fortunately, Kiana's question was answered.

Sirin glanced at Kiana and sighed:

"Don't worry, there are people in this country who care more than you. They anticipated this would happen, and as long as you don't go crazy and unleash your full power, the impact can be completely controlled."

"Is that so? Hmm... So how much effort would it take?"

"First, don't fully unleash the gems. Second, don't overuse them. After all, you're not fighting alone. So you also need to be careful not to let them take things too seriously, otherwise..."

"I'll answer," Sirin replied, spreading her hands.

Upon hearing this, Kiana was speechless. She had thought this enemy might be very powerful, but based on Sirin's answer...

This enemy doesn't seem particularly strong? Perhaps I even need to be careful not to get overwhelmed?

"Oh, is that so? That's troublesome. I'll have to be careful not to kill him?"

Upon hearing this, Xilin adopted a mysterious expression:

Actually, you don't need to worry.

"What do you mean I don't need to worry? Didn't you tell me to hold back?" Kiana said, somewhat annoyed.

"Yes, but don't underestimate the power of a demon god. After all, this demon god and his followers are among the best. They've been suppressed for so many years and haven't disappeared. Their vitality is undeniably tenacious."

Upon hearing this, Kiana breathed a sigh of relief. If that's the case, then it shouldn't be a problem to have a good fight next, right?

"Oh, that's good."

Knowing full well that this battle was unavoidable, Kiana didn't waste any words and turned back to remind her companions to prepare for the fight.

Time passed slowly, and the once calm sky suddenly became stormy.

As the Qunyu Pavilion approached, the once calm sea suddenly began to churn with eddies.

Above the sea, countless water columns appeared, like giant dragons spiraling upwards, crashing towards the direction of the Jade Pavilion.

"How can there be such a huge vortex? What's going on?"

"Could something be about to crawl out from the seabed?!"

Upon seeing this scene, everyone in the Jade Pavilion and the Thousand Rock Army couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

What's going on?

Inside the Jade Pavilion, hearing these terrified cries, Mei frowned and slowly tightened her grip on the knife in her hand.

"It looks like we're in trouble..."

After hesitating for a moment, Shadow slowly stood up, intending to go out and explore on her own. However, before she could even move, Kiana reached out and grabbed her.

"Ok?"

"That... Shadow, actually."

After a brief explanation, Ying was still puzzled, but considering it was Kiana's request, she nodded, indicating that she wouldn't use the "Unthinking Blade" to finish off the enemy in this battle.

"That's good, hmm..."

After dealing with the Shadow, Kiana turned her attention to Mei.

Seeing the look in her beloved's eyes, Mei felt somewhat helpless.

"Kiana, what did you say to Miss Shadow? You didn't mean you wanted us to retreat, did you?"

"How could that be? Actually..."

Kiana simply stated her thoughts, then reached out and tapped her head.

"Hey, how's it going, Mei?"

"Well..."

Looking at the girl in front of me who had learned to be a riddle teller and was trying to get away with being cute.

Mei's expression gradually changed from stern to relaxed.

Of course, while she felt relieved, there were still some things she needed to understand clearly.

"These whirlpools shouldn't hurt us, right?"

"Rest assured, everyone."

At this moment, a voice came from the side, and Kiana and the others turned their heads to look. They saw Ningguang already casting a spell in the very center of the Jade Pavilion.

As the Jade Pavilion operated, countless golden magic arrays quickly filled a large area of ​​the sky.

Such a magnificent sight is truly breathtaking.

"I didn't expect Ningguang to have such strength?"

Looking at everything that was happening before her eyes, Kiana couldn't help but utter such a sentiment.

However, before anyone could say anything, the sea in the distance suddenly began to churn violently.

Before long, a towering wave surged forth.

Two enormous, dragon-like monsters suddenly appeared before everyone...

"This...is the Demon God?"

"Ausel, I didn't expect that after so many years, you still retain such strength?"

Kiana and Kage exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the monster before them.

These two enormous creatures were entirely dark blue, the same color as the azure sea, and their mere existence was enough to cause the ocean to churn.

With their massive, mountain-like forms, they are undoubtedly the kings of the sea.

One had several heads and was extremely large. The other was much smaller and nestled behind the giant, appearing rather docile.

How could that be?

Upon seeing the two monsters, one large and one small, Ningguang's previously calm expression softened...

Out with the old, in with the new, an unforgettable Lantern Festival (Liyue New Year): Chapter 56 Oser: "Why did I get ganged up on again?"

"Ningguang? You didn't expect these two monsters to appear?"

Seeing that Ningguang seemed somewhat surprised, the three exchanged glances, and then Kiana slowly asked.

"Ahem, how could that be? Since I dispatched the Jade Pavilion here, I must have obtained intelligence. The reason I feel flustered... is because the Demon God... has appeared."

At this moment, who can understand Ningguang's feelings?
