The daily life of a sickly girl in Liyue Port

After everything was over, they went back to their rooms to wash up and go to bed. When they learned that Dishia was going to take Qianxue and Hutao across the desert to Fontaine, there was surprise in their eyes.

After knowing this, they didn't say anything. They still had confidence in Dixia. In addition, Qianxue and Hu Tao showed strong strength today, so they would definitely succeed. The only thing they were not sure was how long it would take.

On a desert night, if there is no sandstorm, the night sky will appear particularly peaceful and beautiful.

On a night like this, the stars in the sky sparkle brightly, like sparkling gems inlaid on the black sky.

In the room, Kurumi yawned and sat next to Qianxue, who was writing a letter at the time.

"Hmm... Is it about sponsoring desert children?"

"Well, we didn't bring too many Moras with us. It's safer to let Zhongli handle this matter."

...Leave it to Zhongli?

That guy should have an idea of ​​what's going on, right?

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. Qianxue and Hutao woke up early. When they walked out of the room, Dixia and Candice had already woken up and prepared breakfast.

Seeing that there was breakfast, Qianxue happily came over and sat down, "Thank you Candice."

Walnut followed closely behind, and when Candice saw this, she thought of what Dixia had said to her last night, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

"I should thank you two. Dixia has already told me that you are going to sponsor the children in the desert..."

"Dixie already thanked us yesterday. This is just what we can do. The ones who really worked hard for it are Dixie and Candice."

..............................

After the repairs were completed, Qianxue and Hu Tao set out on a journey across the desert under the guidance of Dishia.

It was relatively smooth at the beginning, after all, we were on the outskirts of the desert. But when we were almost at the end of the lower wind erosion area, strong winds gradually began to rise, and yellow sand was flying.

Seeing this, Dixia sighed. This local sandstorm should be over in two or three hours. She looked around and found a place sheltered from the wind.

"I didn't expect to encounter a sandstorm on the first day, but fortunately the wind speed was just that. In fact, it's not accurate to call it a sandstorm because it hasn't reached the standard of a sandstorm.

At this level, the mercenaries can still walk in the desert, but for Qianxue and Huyou, it is still a bit difficult and there is a risk of getting lost. "

"Then let's wait here for a while. How long will it take?"

Qianxue originally planned to go against the wind, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do anything stupid as she had just entered the desert.

"Probably two or three hours. We can't rule out the possibility that it will develop into a sandstorm." Di Xia said after thinking for a moment.

...Okay, just stay here for now.

The whistling sound of the wind echoed in my ears, as if it was going to blow away my soul.

There was a vast expanse of yellow sand before my eyes, blocking out the sun and making it impossible to see the road ahead. All I could see was endless yellow sand and exposed rocks, a desolate and lifeless scene.

Fortunately, Qianxue and the others were fully armed when they came in. This is not a game where they can just rush into the desert without any preparation.

During the boring waiting time, the yellow sand in front of me finally stopped and the sound of the wind in my ears subsided.

"Huh, it finally stopped."

Qianxue stood up and breathed a sigh of relief with Kurumi. Seeing the two's reactions, Dishia smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. Let's keep going and try to find a good spot before night falls."

Hearing this, he followed Dixia's footsteps and continued to go deeper into the desert. Walking in the desert, physical energy is consumed much faster than walking on the land.

Hu Tao adapted quickly and took out his camera to capture the beautiful scenery of the desert. Although it was desolate, it also had its own unique magnificence.

In this vast desert, the boundless sky meets the earth, creating a desolate and shocking feeling of no human habitation.

Unfortunately, the camera cannot record the shocking scene before my eyes.

The desert, which had just been filled with strong winds and flying sand and rocks, was now calm and peaceful.

Instead, there was a peaceful and tranquil but scorching hot scene. Above the head, a scorching sun hung high in the sky, emitting a scorching and dazzling light that made it impossible to look directly at it.

Even if she closed her eyes, the strong light could still penetrate her eyelids, making her feel dizzy. There was a chill all over Qianxue's body. Hu Tao and Dixia didn't want to be too far away from Qianxue.

Fortunately, she was the owner of the Eye of the Ice God. If she didn't have the Eye of the God, she couldn't imagine how difficult it would be in the desert.

Just as they were walking with difficulty, Dishia's expression suddenly changed, and she pulled Qianxue and Hu Tao back quickly, just when the two of them were confused.

Suddenly, a huge tail emerged from the place where they were just now, raising clouds of yellow sand and flying stones.

Dixia's eyes lit up, and the Eye of God shone. A fierce sword made of pure fire flew out and slashed the giant insect. Fire suddenly exploded before her eyes, and it drilled back into the ground, and the sand surface returned to calm.

"The sandworm roaming in the desert is huge. What just appeared was its tail."

Dixia looked around the sand surface with vigilant eyes. After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Qianxue and Hutao.

"I was really scared just now. Such a big tail suddenly emerged. Is this kind of sandworm common in the desert?"

Hu Tao patted her chest which was still. To be honest, it was a bit exciting just now. Her heart was still pounding.

The same goes for Qianxue, she had forgotten that there was such a thing in the desert, but she remembered that there seemed to be no such thing in this area in the game. It is better not to mix games with reality.

"It's not common. Maybe we are just too lucky." Dixia shrugged.

There was a hint of self-mockery in the words, and Qianxue's eyes twitched. It seemed that her luck today was indeed not very good.

We continued to move forward. After walking for who knows how long, we finally saw an oasis appear, which was like a light in the night sky in the desert.

A pyramid appeared not far from the oasis. Qianxue's eyes lit up and she shook Kurumi's arm to signal her to look.

"Hey, stop shaking. I have very good eyesight and I see it."

After hearing what Kurumi said, Qianxue's excitement still did not disappear. Wow, a real pyramid appeared before her eyes.

"It can be said to be a relic, and the largest one in the desert is the remains of the Red King. The Red King was once the king of the desert people, and was an ally of the Little Auspicious Grass King and the Flower God.

Unfortunately, the world changes, and now only the little auspicious grass king is left in Xumi."

Dixia was looking at the pyramids in the distance, while Qianxue and Hutao came over and looked at each other in silence when they heard what Dixia said.

"Let me take a photo for you. After all, there are not many foreigners who can come here."

"it is good!"

Qianxue and Hu Tao readily agreed, took the camera from Hu Tao, found a good place to take the photo, and saved the memory in the camera.

"Look, further away is the Red King's tomb. But unfortunately, it is too far from the road we are taking. To avoid accidents, I suggest you not go there.

Of course, if Chiyuki and Kurumi want to go, that’s fine too.”

After hearing what Dixia said, Qianxue thought about it in her heart and finally decided not to go.

After all, the journey is so long that it would probably take two days to go back and forth, and the desert is not safe at night so it is impossible to travel quickly.

She asked Hu Tao what she thought again, and Hu Tao thought the same as she did. Since the journey was long and dangerous, she decided to give up.

"Well, I'll take your advice and decide not to go."

Hearing this, Dixia nodded and walked forward to the Thousand Valleys Sand Land. The road here was okay, at least there were ancient buildings, but there were more wandering monsters and the roads were mostly blocked.

But it is unlikely that we will be able to make it today. Dixia means that we will prepare to rest in the oasis and set off again tomorrow morning.

They asked Qianxue and Hutao for their opinions, and they said they would listen to Dishiya. In the desert, Dishiya was the professional, so they just had to listen to Dishiya and they would be right.

Perhaps it was the visual effect caused by the unique environment of the desert. Although the oasis looked not far away from them, they walked until almost dusk before reaching the oasis.

Waiting for them at the oasis were a large number of monsters. As expected, even monsters would choose an oasis as their first choice in the barren desert.

Fortunately, they were all slimes. Perhaps it was because the water elements and grass elements here were the most numerous in the desert, and there were water slimes and grass slimes everywhere.

Qianxue and her friends can deal with the lowest level monsters very quickly, and their combat power is higher than Paimon's.

"Huh, I can finally take a break."

Qianxue sat on the ground, her eyes filled with fatigue. Walking in the desert was indeed more difficult than walking on land. Qianxue had truly experienced it.

"We'll stop here today and set off again tomorrow. We'll try to reach the Thousand Valleys Sand Land before night falls. I hope we'll have better luck tomorrow."

Their luck today was not very good, but fortunately they had a smooth journey.

"Uh-huh."

While Qianxue and Dixia were talking, Hu Tao had already lit a fire. After all, night was about to fall, and the desert nights were cold.

Hu Tao then went into the water to catch three more fish. She processed the fish a little faster than usual. She didn't eat much along the way, so even she felt hungry.

Qianxue gave Hu Tao a thumbs up for his speed. As expected, even when Hu Tao was hungry, he could still stimulate his speed potential.

The setting sun hangs in the west, the afterglow immerses the sunset glow, the sky and the earth are blended into one, and blood-colored sand is flying everywhere.

Dixia smiled as she watched Hu Tao's actions, then found a boulder to sit on and observed the surrounding environment.

Qianxue sat by the fire and watched Hutao grill the fish quietly. The firelight reflected in Qianxue's eyes, making her watery eyes tinged with some firelight.

For a moment, the only sound above the oasis was the sound of wind blowing sand not far away. The sand grains collided with each other in the wind, making a slight rustling sound.

As the aroma of the grilled fish drifted in the air with the wind, the delicious grilled fish was finally finished. Hu Tao called Dishiya over. For Hu Tao now, grilling three fish at a time was a piece of cake for her.

The skin was crispy and the fish meat was tender. Dixia's eyes lit up after taking a bite. She didn't expect that Hu Tao's cooking skills were so good.

"Hey, how is it? I didn't expect that my cooking skills are also good, right?"

Hearing Walnut's words, Dixia nodded, "It's really unexpected, it's delicious, um... I should say it's the best grilled fish I've ever eaten."

Dixia's words made Hu Tao smile with satisfaction. Isn't it the desire of a cook to hear a compliment from the heart at the end?

"That's because Dishia has never eaten my grilled food. I think one is definitely not enough. I'll do it later."

After hearing Qianxue's words, Hu Tao's expression became intriguing. Anyway, to sum it up, it means only one thing, that is, she does not trust Qianxue.

"That would be great, hahaha."

Dixia readily agreed. She didn't expect that she would be able to taste the cooking skills of Qianxue and Kurumi on the first day. She didn't know what Dina would think if she told her.

As they chatted and laughed, time quickly came to late night, and Qianxue's grilled fish naturally did not disappoint Dixia. Qianxue, the kitchen killer, was very talented in grilling fish.

The night sky is high and the stars are as numerous as dust. The desert is even quieter at night. The towering sand dunes in the distance are coated with a layer of silver sheen by the moonlight. It is quiet and cold, yet full of mystery and beauty.

Qianxue and the other two sat around a fire, the burning flames dispelling some of the desert chill. Qianxue, who had some free time, kept talking as she ate the small cake that Xiangling had prepared for her when she left Liyue Harbor.

"It's getting late, it's time to get ready for bed." Dixia said after looking at the night sky.

Hu Tao nodded, and the Dust Song Pot appeared in her hand, then floated in the air. Looking at the Dust Song Pot in front of her, Dishiya's eyes were full of surprise.

Seeing this, Hu Tao put her hands on Qianxue and Dishiya's shoulders, and in a flash she appeared in the Chen Ge pot. This place had completely changed since the last time she came here. Qianxue and Hu Tao had added some new things into it over the past few days.

No matter whether it belongs to Inazuma or Mondstadt, as long as it can be put into the Chen Ge pot, Qianxue and Hutao will get them all.

After a tiring day, I would go straight back to my room to rest. Sleeping on a soft bed is always better than staying up all night in the desert, and I can get a better rest.

In Fontaine, Ying was forced to be involved in a serial disappearance of young girls because the water of the original fetal sea was dropped into her drink.

It was supposed to be Navia who drank it, but in the end it was Ying who drank it. If it was Navia who drank it, as a Fontaine person, she would have dissolved into water.

Here, Ying, Paimon and Navia are investigating the serial disappearance of girls. At this time, in the coffee shop, Xi Lila is looking at the coffee in front of her boredly, and opposite her is Charlotte.

"What's wrong? You look listless."

After Charlotte sorted out the recent reports, she looked at Hillary Clinton in confusion. Wasn't she usually the most lively?

"Hey, did you know that Navia and the Traveler are investigating a series of missing girls?"

"Of course, Lila, do you want to help?"

Charlotte looked at Hillary Clinton with distrust.

"But Navia refused, saying it was unsafe. But wasn't she involved in it? I clearly wanted to help her."

"Okay, don't be unhappy. Isn't Navia worried about you? Besides, this incident has a great impact on her."

“That’s why I want to help her…”
