The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

Seeing the cunning smile on Luomu's face, Xiao didn't know why he was so angry, but he did help him remove a considerable part of his karma. Even if Xiao was bloodthirsty, he couldn't continue to fight Luomu at this time. He snorted coldly and dissipated the gun in his hand. It was considered a truce with Luomu.

Luo Mu also put away his sword. He smiled awkwardly, bowed deeply to Xiao again, raised his hand to make a "please" gesture, led the reluctant Xiao to the table, and appeased him with all the nice words he could.

At the same time, Luo Mu quietly gestured to a window.

This was what he and Ying had discussed: Don't ask why, if you see me about to die, remember to save me. If the atmosphere is harmonious, go make me some almond tofu and serve it. I've asked Brother Yanxiao to prepare the food.

If you think it's not rich enough, stew Paimeng in it too. Luo Mu finally said jokingly.

To conquer a man, you must first promise him huge benefits and then conquer his stomach with delicious food. Luo Mu just doesn't believe it. How can you, the Great Demon Conqueror, still be so cool like this?

Of course, if you have facial paralysis, just pretend I didn't say anything...

"What on earth are you…" After a moment's silence, Xiao opened his mouth and was about to ask a question.

"Wait, don't ask yet," Luo Mu stretched out his hand to signal Xiao to stop, "My Immortal, if you ask me who I am, I can only tell you that I am a traveler from Mondstadt. It is a pleasant surprise that I can sense and purify karma."

If you insist on asking, I guess I can only say "I'm just a passer-by and here to play", Luo Mu was making up a cliché in his mind.

"Then...how did you clear your karma?" Xiao did not continue asking as expected, but he changed the question.

"Uh... this, ah, mainly depends on..." Luo Mu's tongue was so tight that he couldn't even move. Why did this Yaksha always ask about things he didn't know?

"What the hell are you relying on?" Luo Mu yelled at the system in his consciousness.

[Relying on a noble heart and pure soul] The system dealt with Luo Mu with glee.

It is true that it is better to rely on yourself than on others.

"I can purify karma because I have a special physique. I can extract pollution or karma from the host and banish it to another space." Luo Mu said seriously. He quietly shot a small ball of fire at the door to melt the ice so that Ying would not be unable to come in with the almond tofu.

"Is that so..." Xiao lowered his head in thought, his beautiful eyes flashing with two completely different lights of understanding and doubt.

"Yes, that's it." Luo Mu nodded affirmatively.

In a sense, he was not lying. Andumari was indeed pulled out by him and taken to a mysterious place - his consciousness.

Ah, yes, yes, yes, this is Andumari’s response as he played numbers chain with the system.

"But I can only touch the fully manifested karma." Fearing that there might be a flaw, Luo Mu quickly added, "So I attacked you for no reason before in order to force you to fight me with all your strength to stimulate your karma. Please forgive me for this."

“…It’s okay.” Xiao didn’t know what to say. Come to think of it, someone risked his life to fight him in order to help him purify his karma, and in the end, he generously apologized to him.

It seems that I am the one who is petty. Xiao felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

The atmosphere between the two of them eased a lot. Xiao, who didn't know what was wrong, followed the most normal thinking. Although he still had doubts and guarded against Luo Mu, he also felt grateful.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Ying opened the door and walked over holding a plate of bouncy-looking almond tofu. She put the almond tofu on the table and gave Luo Mu an inquiring look. Luo Mu responded with a funny wry smile. Ying chuckled and was about to go back to the room.

"Ying, don't go, you have to listen too." Suddenly, Luo Mu called Ying.

Ying said "oh" and sat back at the table. Luo Mu took the cup and poured her a cup of tea.

"The tea is already cold," he said a little embarrassedly, "just use it as a refresher."

"It's okay." Ying smiled slightly.

In such a natural atmosphere, no one noticed how strange Ying's seemingly inexplicable avoidance of suspicion and her unconditional trust after Luomu called her were for an ordinary relationship between companions.

"Let me introduce you." Luo Mu pointed at Xiao and said, "This is the immortal from Liyue, the Great Demon Slayer Xiao, and this is my good friend and travel companion Ying."

"Hello." Ying said to Xiao.

Xiao just nodded slightly, his eyes stayed on Luo Mu and never moved away.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Xiao asked the most crucial question.

"Me?" Luo Mu pointed at himself and laughed, "I want to make a deal with you, Xiao."

"What deal?"

"I will help you clear the karma in your body, and you will do me three favors in Liyue."

"Three favors?" Xiao frowned. This condition was too broad and he couldn't decide whether to agree or not.

The temptation to clear his karma is no less tempting to Xiao than if someone told him that he could revive one of his Yaksha friends.

"Don't rush to refuse." Luo Mu saw Xiao's worry and said, "I can tell you these three favors now. You can decide whether to agree after listening to them."

“…Okay.” Xiao said.

"First, I want to meet Master Liuyunjiefeng once." Luo Mu said.

In the Benlang Territory, Kong was able to help Diekarabian pretend to be Liuyun Jiefeng. He must have put a lot of effort into studying Liuyun Jiefeng. Luo Mu didn't believe that "that woman" would be completely unaware of this matter.

"That's fine." Xiao agreed without hesitation. Although he was not very familiar with the other immortals, given his seniority, it would not be a problem for him to simply arrange a meeting.

"Second, before your karma is completely exorcised, you must take both of us with you to destroy the monster, and the final blow must be delivered by me."

"...No problem." Xiao hesitated for a moment and agreed. Although this request sounded strange, it didn't matter who made the final blow to the monster.

Luo Mu: It’s really different, brother!

"Third," Luo Mu continued, he reached out and tapped Ying who was secretly eating almond tofu on the side: "I want you to do your best to protect her once when she is in danger."

"Ah?" Hearing Luo Mu mention her, Ying looked up in surprise, and hadn't completely swallowed the almond tofu in her mouth. Luo Mu couldn't help laughing at her cute look.

"Okay." This was the request that Xiao agreed to most readily out of the three. He was a guardian yaksha, and killing for the sake of protection was his duty. He did not feel embarrassed at all when entrusted with such a task.

"Okay!" Luo Mu clapped his hands: "So, is the deal done?"

“…Achieved.”
