Mona and Lu Li looked at each other. How could they not know what situation they were facing?
"Lu Li... What should we do? We are on the river, and there are so many people on the other side..."
Mona frowned and looked at Lu Li nervously.
"It's okay, I'm here. But it's strange that there's a looting fleet of treasure-stealing ships on Bishuiyuan, and the local Qianyan Army didn't attack them?"
Lu Li rubbed
He stroked his chin and asked curiously at this moment.
"It's probably because the small boats they were driving could easily hide in those reeds. After all, we only discovered such a fleet when we reached the center of the river."
Mona pursed her lips and said nervously as she looked at the treasure-stealing team members who were approaching step by step.
There were simply too many of them. Even though she had the Eye of the Water Element and they were on the river, it was definitely not easy for her to fight them off on her own.
After all, she is not a full-time fighter. Divination and observing the stars are her main jobs.
At this moment, the boatman was so scared that he sat down on the ground, holding his head and wailing.
As the treasure-hunting group members drew closer amidst shouts and cries of killing, the greed and brutality in their eyes could be seen from the distance.
In response to this, Lu Li's expression remained unchanged. He indifferently extended his hand in front of everyone, and then chanted softly.
"Explode, Jun Yan."
The next moment, within a hundred meters ahead, the fire elements that suddenly condensed turned into a fireball and then exploded instantly.
Huge waves swept the small boat in the white mist, while Lu Li, who held Mona to prevent her from falling, stood as steady as a rock.
The dozen or so small boats and the treasure-hunting group members on them were reduced to dust in an instant.
After breaking through the waves, Lu Li stood at the bow holding Mona.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
He said this in a calm tone, not seeming to feel any pressure.
Behind him, the blazing flames on the river proved that his words were not empty talk.
Chapter 133 Ye Lan's Care
The power of the flames came with great force and went away swiftly. In fact, this was a demonstration of Lu Li's ability to control his power to a moderate level.
Otherwise, judging by his power at his peak, at least this area of water would turn into a sea of fire in an instant, cooking a large number of fish and shrimps, and even endangering the upper waters of Bishuiyuan.
But this was not Lu Li's original intention. It was enough to wipe out this group of pirates.
With one strike, all of them will be annihilated while holding on to the boat under your feet to ensure its stability and protect Mona's safety.
Lu Li could smell the blood on the pirates and bandits who had transformed into treasure thieves. It was obvious that these people were definitely criminals and were probably responsible for more than one death.
Secondly, the way they looked at Mona was full of lust.
Although Mona's outfit looks normal to outsiders, her outstanding appearance and figure can still attract other people's attention.
This is also why the looks from these people are so extreme.
All in all, no matter which point it was, Lu Li was unhappy.
Naturally, he was ruthless when he attacked.
Along with the wreckage of the damaged raft, the charred bandits sank into the water.
Their final destination is destined to be providing nutrients for the fish.
However, the huge sound of the fire explosion naturally alarmed those who were interested.
At this moment, the attention of some tourists who were enjoying the light from the top floor of Wangshu Inn was attracted.
Among them, a short, handsome young man with a flower on one arm was looking into the distance with a slightly fixed gaze, and then his figure disappeared in an instant, disappearing over the eaves.
The foreign female owner who was in charge of running the inn looked at the water thoughtfully, then slowly left and went to the counter to make a record.
She is Yanyue Tianquan's spy, responsible for collecting information about tourists in this well-connected place as an innkeeper and reporting it to Hui Tianquan.
Among this group of people, a mature lady with short blue hair was leaning against the handrail, looking into the distance thoughtfully.
"What an exaggerated display of elemental power... Such a vast and powerful sea of fire, capable of such a level of elemental power explosion, there are only a handful of people in Liyue who can do it... It seems that no matter what, it is necessary to record this information, otherwise, it is impossible to determine whether it will endanger Liyue..."
The woman muttered to herself, then turned and walked towards the long steps.
--------split line--------
At this moment, on the small boat that broke through the waves from the smoke, Mona looked behind her with a confused look on her face.
Then, she looked at Lu Li nervously, "So... have all those people been dealt with?"
"Well, there are no survivors," Lu Li nodded and said softly, "Although I have tried my best to restrain my power, it is still a bit out of control. The power is too great."
Mona frowned slightly at this moment, and then asked softly, "Hmm...but, is it really okay to do something like this in Liyue?"
Lu Li was slightly stunned, and immediately felt Mona's thoughts at this moment.
So he was worried about having killed so many people in Liyue and was feeling nervous and uneasy about the future?
Lu Li smiled wryly at this moment, then whispered, "Mona, those people are not protected by Liyue's laws. They are criminals with many lives on their hands. In fact, under the laws issued by Tianquan Ningxing, these treasure-stealing groups are evildoers who must be attacked by both humans and gods. They are to be eliminated, not protected."
"Since ancient times, the vast Liyue has suffered from the lack of infiltration of the Thousand Rock Army in remote areas. In fact, the seven kingdoms on the continent of Teyvat are in a similar situation. Under such circumstances, the rampant monsters and even the prevalence of thieves
, has always been the biggest factor affecting people's property and safety. Therefore, based on this situation, Liyue's laws are more stringent than those of other countries."
"Therefore, if the Thousand Rocks Army, or even registered adventurers, mercenaries, and escorts, encounter a treasure-stealing group in the wild, even if they kill them, they will not be subject to legal constraints. After all, these people have become bandits, and their hands are inevitably stained with blood from years of committing evil. To deal with evildoers, we must use even more brutal means to suppress them."
Listening to Lu Li's introduction, Mona frowned slightly, and then said softly with some emotion: "Is it really like this... I didn't expect the situation in Liyue to be so different from that in Fontaine and Mondstadt..."
"The Supreme Court of Fontaine's laws almost never impose the death penalty. As for Mondstadt, the area is vast and sparsely populated, and everyone lives a life of luxury and bliss. The level of happiness there is arguably the highest among the Seven Kingdoms. There's no need to worry about jobs at all; the benefits are fantastic."
Lu Li said with emotion at this moment.
"Um... but Mondstadt has a lot of unexplored wilderness, and monsters are rampant. Even now, there are still frequent monster attacks and dragon disasters. It's not all good... No, I'm talking about the treasure-hunting group now. Is this the case in Mondstadt as well?"
Hearing this, Lu Li pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of Rosalia, the combat nun of the West Wind Church.
Her background story seems to explain this situation.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Li softly explained, "Although you may not believe it, from what I understand, the Knights of Favonius have always gone out on expeditions. When they encounter bandit groups, without exception, they seek to annihilate them completely, leaving no evildoers alive. Furthermore, the rampant treasure-stealing groups in Mondstadt... in fact, their ferocity is probably no different from that of Liyue."
Mona fell into deep thought at this moment.
"In short, what I did was just and in accordance with the law. Doing this can save many people from harm in the future. For me, I only feel relieved and honored. So, don't worry, Mona, don't worry about the bad guys."
"I don't feel sorry for them. Anyway, it's enough for me to know from you that doing something like this is not against the law."
Mona shook her head, then held Lu Li's hand tightly and responded softly.
After hearing this, Lu Li finally felt a little relieved.
He was afraid that Mona would actually worry about the bad guys, which would be too saintly.
After learning from her that she was just worried about whether she would break the law, I immediately felt a lot calmer.
This shows that Mona, at least, has similar values to me.
If the values, outlook on life and world view are completely different, then the relationship will inevitably break down in the future no matter what.
Fortunately, Mona is not that kind of person, and she still has some sense to offer.
Lu Li felt very relieved about this.
Chapter 134: Night at Wangshu Inn, the Journey in the Late Night
Under the boatman's horrified gaze, Lu Li reluctantly took out his wallet, took out a sum of Mora, and handed it to the old man.
It seemed that he was completely frightened and shocked by his performance in the middle of the river just now, so that the old man looked at him with fear in his eyes.
But in fact, it doesn't have to be that serious. Lu Li is not a vicious person. Since the deal has been reached, he will act in accordance with the contract.
The boatman took him and Mona across the long river. Naturally, he should settle the payment after they got ashore. He would never shirk his responsibility and would not simply owe money just because Lu Li had extraordinary powers.
"That's the Wangshu Inn over there! It's truly impressive. The entire building is actually built on giant trees? If so, aren't you worried it might suddenly collapse?"
At this moment, Mona looked at the inn leaning against the trees not far away, pursed her lips slightly, and said softly with some surprise.
"The inn actually put a lot of thought into its foundation, drawing on the experience of the Sumeri Order, which was built on giant trees. Furthermore, according to the Teyvat Region Guide, it seems that someone visits every month to inspect the foundation's stability and provide timely feedback. So, there's no need to worry about it collapsing."
After Lu Li shook his head, he explained softly to Mona at this moment.
Hearing this, Mona nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, Lu Li looked up at the scenery at the horizon.
The setting sun dyed half of the sky red. The sky and the sea in the distance now appeared a smoky red color like wine. While it was beautiful, it also reminded people that it was getting late.
The journey can be summarized as follows: heading east from Qiaoyingzhuang and then taking a small boat to cross the river, but the time required is no less.
Lu Li retracted his gaze at this moment and looked at Mona, asking softly, "We've already spent quite a while getting here on the Si River. It's unwise to continue on our journey. However, if we camp here, we can't guarantee that monsters won't harass us after nightfall. It's not difficult to deal with them, but if we have trouble resting, our journey tomorrow will inevitably be delayed... Mona, how about we go to the Wangshu Inn first, rest there, and then set off tomorrow. We can rent a suitable means of transportation locally and then head north to Shimen. Is this proposal acceptable to you?"
"I think there's no problem. Just follow your idea. After all, I only know a little bit about this place, and I really don't know as much as you do~"
Mona nodded and spoke softly at this moment.
"Okay, but I think the situation at Wangshu Inn shouldn't be as bad as the one at Qiaoying Manor, with a shortage of rooms. So, should we rent a room together tonight, or..."
Lu Li coughed at this moment and asked tentatively with some embarrassment.
Mona immediately understood Lu Li's hidden meaning and her pretty face turned red.
The blush on this lovely and pretty face is even more in line with the intoxicating color of the sunset.
She looked away a little embarrassedly at this moment, but when she noticed Lu Li's expectant gaze, she finally sighed helplessly.
"Or...let's just share a room. It's cheaper..."
Mona said softly.
After she finished speaking, her eyes became a little vague, and she didn't even dare to look at Lu Li.
It seems that whether this is the reason she said is naturally a matter of opinion.
All in all, Lu Li was very happy to receive such a response from Mona. At this moment, he couldn't help but reach out and hold Mona's hand, then put it to his lips and kissed it gently, "Hehe, Mona is very frugal and takes care of the family. This is really the best~"
Mona glanced at him helplessly and snorted softly.
Then, after Lu Li took her hand and walked slowly forward, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly at this moment.
------Dividing line------
Although Wangshu Inn provides accommodation and rest services for tourists, in fact, the food produced by its local kitchen is also very delicious!
After enjoying a delicious dinner prepared by the top chef with Mona at the outdoor dining table on the first floor, the two of them took the mechanical elevator to the top-floor observation balcony of Wangshu Inn, where they enjoyed the night view of Liyue while digesting their slightly bulging stomachs.
Unlike the Wangshu Inn in the game, the real Wangshu Inn has many private rooms for guests to rest. In other words, its architectural layout is not like the one in the game. On the contrary, it is larger in size, but at the same time does not appear bloated.
At this moment, Mona and I were standing by the railing, enjoying the night view of the seaside in the distance while chatting and talking freely.
Mona seems very interested in Liyue's ancient mythology.
So Lu Li decided to give a speech about what he had heard nearby, telling the story of the island not far away - Guyun Pavilion.
Mona listened with great interest at this moment, actively asked questions and gave positive feedback.
At this time, Lu Li also noticed that there seemed to be a gaze, or more than one, that seemed to be watching them intentionally?
One place is hidden in the dark and it is impossible to tell which direction it comes from.
It has to be said that this person's observation is very good. Even though Lu Li's perception may not be the most outstanding among his many abilities, but being able to completely avoid his detection while keeping his sight all the time, this person's strength is absolutely unfathomable.
The other gaze was actually hidden quite well, but after a deliberate deception, Lu Li still noticed the source of the gaze.
She was a blue-haired lady who had been sitting at the table, drinking quietly and seemed to be admiring the moonlight.
If Lu Li had not managed to look her in the eye during a deliberate test, he would have probably ignored her existence.
The concealment is very clever!
She was wearing very simple adventurer's attire, but the Eye of the Water Element God buckled around her waist destined her to be extraordinary.
However, in Lu Li's impression, the adventurer was a blue-haired woman, and it seemed that there was no such character in the game.
So, maybe it's just an NPC who was passing by but interested in me?
In short, although he was a little wary and concerned, Lu Li was chatting with Mona now, so he naturally would not go far away and ignore Mona to pay attention to this plain-looking woman.
Yes, she is not good-looking. This blue-haired queen has a strange appearance. Some parts of her face could actually be very gentle, but for some reason there are some strange flaws that make her whole face very ordinary, which is quite inconsistent with her slim and well-proportioned figure.
I can only say it's quite a pity.
