The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

After listening to Luo Mu's explanation, Shen He remained silent for a long time. Since she didn't speak, Luo Mu didn't want to say too much either, as he knew very well that talking too much would lead to mistakes.

Luo Mu has a good impression of Shen He. This good impression is not just because he liked the character in his previous life, but also a kind of sympathy for his own situation in this life. For some reason, he really hopes that Shen He can step out of her own shadow and make more friends.

So he lied to her. He wanted to tell her that the world does not just look at your race, whether your power is dirty, or whether your behavior is strange. As long as your heart and soul are beautiful, people will not reject you.

This was of course a complete lie, but Luo Mu had been relying on this lie to convince himself, and this time he hoped it could convince another person as well.

"Is everything you said true?" Finally, Shen He asked such a weak question. Because she was thinking hard, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and her eyes were moist.

Looking at this pure girl who seemed like a fairy on earth and who was trying hard to understand the routines of the mundane world and had a hint of worldly air, Luo Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"Of course." He answered reluctantly.

"Does your power really come from an accident?"

"real."

This shouldn't be considered a lie... Luo Mu convinced himself: After all, the power of his resentful soul was indeed messed up by the fortune tellers, so he had no choice but to...

After hearing Luo Mu's answer, Shen He thought about it for a moment, then sighed sadly and said, "Then I will believe you for now."

"Thank you, young lady." Luo Mu quickly took the opportunity to change the topic about himself.

"But don't you think, Miss Shen He, that no matter what your background or circumstances are, as long as you have good intentions and do good deeds, you can live well in this world even if you are doomed to fail?" He took the opportunity to start feeding Shen He chicken soup. Although his words sounded a little pale, it was better to say them than not to say them.

"I..." Shen He was about to answer, but suddenly stopped talking. Before Luo Mu could understand what was happening, he heard the door of the shop behind him open, and two figures, one big and one small, walked into the shop while talking.

"Alas, Xinyuexuan still doesn't accept guests." The younger one sighed with regret in a soft voice.

"Even if it's open, I won't invite you to eat there, so just forget it!"

"Wow, Traveler, you are so cruel! You never give me good food to eat. I will go to Yan Fei to complain about you!"

"...I still have the bill for yesterday's golden shrimp balls, golden crabs, and fairy jumping over the wall."

"Hmm, hey, traveler, this is the client's shop, right?"

"Oh, there's really nothing I can do about you..." Ying held her forehead and shook her head helplessly. She first looked around the store, smiled and nodded to the only two customers, Shen He and Luo Mu who had his back to her, and then walked towards the owner of the counter.

Luo Mu sat there with a wooden expression. He was still facing Shen He and did not turn around. So when Ying passed by him, he first saw the pair of white legs in gorgeous combat boots, then the classic white dress, the soft and delicate profile under the blonde hair, and finally the slim back, which slowly floated past in his peripheral vision. Paimon was flying up and down on Ying's right shoulder like a little fairy, fortunately did not block the traveler's face.

Luo Mu suddenly felt as if his heart was being tugged at by something, and when that thing let go, it shook it twice in a particularly naughty manner. An inexplicable joy spread and rippled along with the bitterness that rose from the tip of his heart.

He raised his hand slightly on the table, as if he wanted to grab something, but in the end, he put his hand back as if nothing had happened.

Now he is Walter Joyce, Jun Bai, but he cannot be Luo Mu. Luo Mu has disappeared. He is a soul from another world, a creature anchored by a higher being, the new generation of justice maintainer to be nominated by the abyss and gods, and the mortal enemy of fortune tellers... Such a Luo Mu will send those who accompany him and those he cares about to their deaths one by one. After finishing all the things in Liyue, he wants to go to Inazuma alone without any ties.

Bennett, Fischl, Jellos, Xiao, Xingqiu, Ying... they will fade away one by one in their lives. This is fate and also the price.

Luo Mu suddenly buried his face between his hands, and when he raised his head again, a flawless smile was already on his handsome face, which looked like a young scholar. He extended his hand to signal Shen He to wait for him here, and then walked to the counter with such a smile.

At this moment, in front of the counter, Ying was talking to the store owner about the strange tasks he had issued and the background of the Goddess Pi Guan.

"According to Mr. Yun, this play comes from a folk story in Tianheng Mountain. It tells the story of a prosperous village where a couple lived a happy life. They had a lovely daughter. One day, a terrible monster came. The wife was out collecting herbs and was captured by the monster. The husband was heartbroken and soon became crazy. The monster told the villagers: "If you want to save your life, you have to pay tribute to me with the children in the village!" The monster was very powerful. The people in the village were afraid of it and had no choice but to obey its demands. Just as they were discussing whose child to offer to the monster, a little girl suddenly took the initiative to stand up. She hid an exorcist sword, pretended to be very scared and walked to the monster's lair, then made a bold move. After a hard battle, she finally solved the monster. Later, because of her extraordinary qualifications, she was taken in by the immortals and became a good story. It's a pity that the immortals and mortals are separated forever, and she has no chance to return to the mortal world." Ying told the story of the goddess splitting the Guan to the shop owner in detail.

The shop owner nodded in sudden realization: "So that's how it is, so that's how it is, it's really wonderful... What do you think, sir?" He saw Luo Mu coming to the side.

"It's really good, with a strong story and narrative sense. It will be a good play." Luo Mu replied with a smile: "However," he changed the subject: "I always feel that this story has the flavor of a folk fairy tale. It would be better if it had more fireworks."

"Who are you?" After hearing Luo Mu's evaluation, Ying seemed to be thinking about something, while Paimeng asked Luo Mu directly.

Hearing his companion who used to be with him day and night asking him such a question, Luo Mu's heart ached again. He looked up at Paimon who was flying beside him and said with a smile: "Hello Paimon, my name is Walter Joyce, a scholar from Mond. I have heard about the heroic deeds of the Honor Knight and Warrior Paimon in my hometown for a long time. I have admired him for a long time."

"Hehe, warrior Paimon..." Luo Mu's attempt to please Paimon was apparently very effective. With just four words, he made Paimon as happy as a three-year-old child...maybe even younger.

"Are you from Mond?" Ying's eyes seemed to flash with a hint of joy as if she had met an old friend in a foreign land: "I don't think I saw you when we were in Mond?"

We have seen it before... Looking at the girl's cute face filled with joy and memories, Luo Mu pinched the corner of his clothes unconsciously.

"I...I am often abroad conducting scientific explorations, so I seldom come back to Mond. It is understandable that you two have no impression of me." He explained with a forced smile, and then quickly changed the subject: "I heard that story just now, and I have an idea."

"What idea?" Ying asked curiously.

Luo Mu pointed at Shen He who was sitting quietly at the side and said, "The girl who traveled with me recently is said to be a disciple of the immortal. She is very skilled and her life story is mysterious. Do you think it is possible that she is the prototype of the story of the play?"

Paimon shook his head noncommittally: "Shouldn't it be, it shouldn't be such a coincidence, Traveler, don't you think so?"

Ying did not answer. She looked at Shen He, then at Luo Mu, and then she asked, "You said that her background is mysterious and her skills are very good... What are the details?"

"To be specific...she knows immortal magic, has a solitary fate, and in terms of her skills...she can pin two eight-foot-tall men to the ground and beat them with one hand."

Or I could pound the ground onto the big guy...it all depends on what I need at the time.

"If that's the case, it's very possible!" Ying clapped her hands: "Paimeng, this way, we can also fulfill Yunjin's wish!"

"Great! I can make money again!" Paimeng is very realistic.

Looking at the two people who were rejoicing beside him, Luo Mu's lips curled up slightly with a warm and sweet smile.

It’s great for this girl to be able to be happy like this all the time and to have someone accompany her on her journey all the time.

Even without me, it's fine...

"Thank you!" Paimon suddenly flew over and patted Luo Mu on the head: "Thank you for helping us complete another mission."

Luo Mu nodded and smiled quickly: "It's okay, it's nothing." He scratched his head subconsciously, but unexpectedly saw the girl in front of him smiling and stretching her hand towards him.

"My name is Ying, nice to meet you. Thank you for your help." The girl's gentle smile was like the setting sun outside the door, warm and bright but not scorching.

Luo Mu was stunned for a moment, then he also stretched out his hand.

"My name is... Walter Joyce. Nice to meet you, Ying."

The two hands were gently clasped together, just like when Luo Mu first saw her in human form in Benlangling.

This is good, this is good... Luo Mu kept convincing himself in his heart, forcing himself not to clench his hands too tightly.
