The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

In his previous life, Luo Mu was a person who kept his heart tightly closed. He didn't understand what most people were thinking, but he knew very well what people like him were like.

So he knew Xiao very well, and he also knew Qiqi very well. Looking at them, Luo Mu felt like he was seeing himself.

Being introverted is not a good thing in itself, but now, this memory left over from the previous life has become a perfect opportunity for Luomu and Xiao to get closer.

Xiao did not show up at dinner, but Luo Mu still asked Yan Xiao to leave a portion of almond tofu and grilled goby on the table for Xiao. He believed that Xiao would understand his feelings.

After dinner, to Luo Mu's surprise, he was invited by Ying and walked into her room with a nervous and uneasy mood.

I am one of the few people who has been into a girl's boudoir. Luo Mu felt a little smug.

[Heh, according to what you said, the cleaners in the inn have entered countless girls' boudoirs.] The system always pours cold water so subtly and timely.

Luo Mu: ...Andumari, kill him for me!

Andumari: Uh... Master, aren't you making things difficult for me?

The layout of Ying's room is basically the same as Luomu's, except that there is a brand new vase on the windowsill, with a delicate neon flower in it.

Luo Mu carefully stuffed himself into a hardwood chair. Ying was also a little embarrassed. She sat down on the bed with her back straight, as if to eliminate the inexplicable tension. She also hugged Paimon in her arms, just like hugging a cute pillow.

"Well, Xiaoluo, should we also consider the next plan?" Ying asked in a low voice. This was also the reason why she took the initiative to call Luomu into the room today.

When it came to business, Luo Mu's uncomfortable feeling dissipated a little. He frowned and thought about it carefully.

"No rush." ​​He said, "As far as the current situation is concerned, although we don't have the initiative in our hands, at least we haven't lost the initiative. Since I promised to help the Great Sage Subduing Demons solve his karmic problems, I must do it. Before we deal with this matter, we probably have to stay here for a while."

Ying patted Paimeng's round belly and nodded, agreeing with Luo Mu's opinion.

"That's true." Ying smiled and said, "But now... we seem to be traveling."

Luo Mu's expression froze slightly, and then he showed a somewhat awkward smile.

What could he say? He couldn't tell Ying: You're right, we were just sightseeing and eating and drinking at public expense.

To be honest, he really didn't want to get involved in Liyue's political situation too early. First, he was good at using some tricks and cleverness, but he was not very good at politics, and he didn't think much about fighting with an old fox like Ningguang, so he didn't plan to confront her head-on before the peripheral scattered pieces were spread out. Secondly, the chaos in Mondstadt made him somewhat repulsive to the Kingdom of the Seven Gods, so he was naturally happier the longer he put off the meeting with the Seven Stars of Liyue.

Besides, judging from his experience in Mondstadt, he didn't need to find the main plot himself, the main characters would bump into him. And this was Wangshu Inn, the most mixed place in Liyue. Ningguang had stuffed countless people here. The whereabouts and origins of Luomu and Ying were not completely known, but at least 50% of them were known.

Luo Mu didn't believe that Ningguang could stay with them forever. He bet that Ningguang would come to him on her own initiative.

Seeing Luo Mu's silent smile, Ying understood that this clean and pure boy already had his own plans in mind. The tacit understanding developed over the past few days made her stop asking questions. She knew that Luo Mu would not say anything before he had figured out everything. He didn't want anyone around him to be involved in an immature plan.

"Don't worry." Luo Mu finally said: "We can definitely complete this mission and complete it safely."

Ying smiled and nodded.

And Paimon had already fallen asleep in Ying's arms.

After saying good night to each other, Luo Mu closed the door for Ying. Watching the heavy wooden door slowly closing in front of him, Luo Mu let out an imperceptible sigh.

After entering Liyue, Luomu has been trying to separate Ying from all parties in Liyue. He does not want Ying to fall into an unsolvable crisis because of him, so he did not deliberately bring Xiao and Ying closer. He just made a request and asked Xiao to protect Ying once.

Since he knew that the gods were planning to use him, Luo Mu would never do such a thing as involving the person he loved in the game.

Now, we just have to wait and see how Liyue will react.

…………

In the next few days, Luomu still went out hunting monsters with Xiao every day, and Ying would sometimes follow. During the hunt, Luomu also learned that the resentment of the demons that infected the monsters was not just the miasma left over from Liyue for thousands of years, but also partly the karma on Xiao's body. So in theory, monsters with karma cannot be killed, and as long as Xiao is still entangled in karma, more monsters of this type will appear.

But now with Luomu, Xiao's karma is not unsolvable. Every day, Luomu and Xiao will fight with all their strength. When the karma is revealed, Ying will take over, and Luomu will try his best to absorb the karma from Xiao. With the efforts of several people, the negative evil spirit on Xiao has been greatly weakened. It is no longer like before, where people can feel an evil aura just by standing there.

After several absorptions, Luomu was worried that over-purification of karma would affect Xiao's own combat effectiveness, so after discussing with Ying and Xiao, he stopped purifying the karma and instead studied the massive amount of demon resentment he had obtained.

And Xiao also disappeared for a few days at a very appropriate time, and no one knew where he went.

Xiao disappeared for ten days. Just when Luo Mu began to worry whether this cold and aloof immortal had encountered something, he suddenly appeared in Luo Mu's room on a full moon night.

This is not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing is that, beside him, there is a handsome and elegant crane-shaped bird. It has feathers as clear and blue as the sky after rain, a slender body, and the aura of an immortal that it exudes all the time. Everywhere shows that this handsome and extraordinary bird is a real immortal.

Xiao fulfilled one of his promises. He did not take Luomu to see Master Liuyun Jiefeng. Instead, he brought Master Liuyun Jiefeng to Luomu.

"Junior Luo Mu, I am here to pay my respects to Master Liuyun Jiefeng." Luo Mu hurriedly saluted Master Liuyun Jiefeng.

"No need to be so polite." Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun waved her wings, and a gentle breeze lifted Luo Mu up without any explanation. Her voice was soft but solemn and loud, with a hazy echo, and it was many times more ethereal than Xiao's.

“Since you are the friend of the Great Sage who Conquers Demons, then you are my friend. There is no need to call yourself a junior.” said True Lord Liuyunjiefeng.

"Thank you, Master." Luo Mu returned the greeting. He glanced at Xiao with gratitude on his face.

Xiao nodded expressionlessly.

"I heard from the Great Sage who Conquers Demons that you want to see me?" asked True Lord Liuyunjiefeng.

Luo Mu nodded: "That's right, evening... I have something I want to ask the True Lord."

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng chuckled and said, "Of course you can ask me for advice, but since you are also a foreigner, I would like to ask you something in return. I wonder if it is okay."

"Of course. I will never deceive you about what I can answer," Luo Mu replied.

"I want to ask you, if a country that has been closed for many years and has not actively contacted the outside world actually sent people to Liyue, and even found my immortal residence to talk with me, if it were you, what do you think would be the purpose?"

"...What?" Luo Mu was shocked and suspicious. The question asked by Master Liuyun Jiefeng made him full of doubts.

Could it be...

"The chief priest of Inazuma Narukami Grand Shrine, the great fox demon Yae Kamiko, and Kamisato Ayato, the head of the Inazuma Kamisato family, have come to visit Liyue. Yesterday, they paid a visit to me."
