The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

When Luo Mu and Ying were welcomed into the door of Jellos's house, they found that they seemed to have encountered the most difficult problem in their lives.

Ying's problem is: how to explain clearly and humanely that she is not Jellos's future girlfriend, while Luomu's problem is: how to prove that he is a man except by using physiological characteristics.

Jellos's mother, Mrs. Filin, has the most prominent characteristics of a woman of this age, that is, stubbornness and self-confidence. She firmly believes in her initial judgment, thinking that even if Ying is not now, she will be a member of the Filin family in the future, and she firmly finds a beautiful gold lace dress for Luo Mu and invites him to change his white robe. After Luo Mu refused and explained, she suddenly clapped her hands and sent the dress back. Just when Luo Mu breathed a sigh of relief, she appeared in front of Luo Mu with a white short top with tassels, which was obviously women's shorts and a matching knee-length skirt.

"Oh, look at my damn memory. As an adventurer, it's more convenient to move around by dressing like this." Mrs. Filin said happily.

Even Paimon, who was watching and laughing, was not well pleased. Mrs. Flinn thought that she must be some kind of magical elf who could cast strange spells, so she handed a dusty ball to Paimon and asked her to cast magic. Poor Paimon held the ball stupidly, not knowing what to do for a while.

Luo Mu: ...Is it too late for me to return to the Knights Templar?

Finally, with Jellos's persuasion, the farce came to an end. It was getting dark and it was time for dinner. Luo Mu volunteered to "escape" to the kitchen with Ying to prepare dinner, leaving time and space for the family.

The Filin family was not gorgeous, but there was a warm atmosphere everywhere. Luo Mu was washing the cabbage in his hand while looking at the small pot of flowers placed on the wooden window frame in the kitchen, thinking steadily. He especially liked the atmosphere of the living room of the Jellos family. In the stone fireplace, the remaining charcoal flickered with crackling flames, like a small salamander jumping in the ashes. The comfortable armchairs were piled up in a mess beside an ancient table. Several wooden cups were placed on the table, filled with amber liquid, which looked like some kind of tea. The Cecilia flowers by the window leaned lazily in the flowerpot, exuding a rich fragrance.

This is the most ordinary corner of a family, but for Luo Mu, or for strangers like Luo Mu and Ying, this ordinary corner is enough to make them feel happy.

"Ah, Xiao Luo, can you help me light the fire over there?" Ying's voice came to his ears. Luo Mu came back to his senses and looked at the cabbage in his hand. He couldn't help but laugh. He picked up a cabbage and started thinking about things, but he forgot that with his current physical condition, using a little magic was already the limit. He wanted to reach the sink to wash the vegetables, which was basically a dream.

"Okay!" Luo Mu responded, controlled the strength towards the stove that Yingzhi pointed at, and threw a thumb-sized fireball. With a whoosh, the dry firewood in the stove was ignited, making a cheerful crackling sound.

Hey! Look at my elemental control. Luo Mu glanced at Ying with a proud look, asking for praise.

"Thank you, my...sister!" Ying looked at Luo Mu's proud features, and then looked at his current clothes, and burst out laughing. She said mischievously. Then she and Paimon went to take care of the stove over there.

Luo Mu's expression froze. He looked at his clothes with a bitter face, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Yes, he finally failed to persuade Mrs. Filin and changed into that outfit, but he didn't wear a skirt. Instead, he wore a pair of black trousers. The white short top with tassels matched with the black trousers, a section of the snow-white waist was exposed in the air, and coupled with the androgynous appearance and figure of the cute king, Luo Mu and Ying standing together now really looked like sisters.

Fortunately, there are no mobile phones in this world, otherwise... Luo Mu shuddered violently. He quickly shifted his attention from his horrific imagination to cooking, and then he calmed down a little.

As the saying goes, when men and women (?) work together, work is not tiring. With the concerted efforts of Luo Mu and Ying, a table of sumptuous dishes was prepared in less than 40 minutes. Every dish smelled appetizing, with color, fragrance, and taste, but the combination was a little strange: for example, next to the sweet flower stuffed chicken was a plate of Kung Pao chicken, and next to the pizza was a plate of mixed cauliflower... This was no longer a question of combining Chinese and Western, but a feeling of a five-star Western restaurant and Chinese home-cooked dishes put together.

The Jellos family, Ying, and Luomu sat at the dining table. Mrs. Filin praised Luomu and Ying's cooking skills. In fact, Ying was the one who did all the cooking. Luomu sat by and directed Ying to cook the home-cooked Chinese meals. In the end, even Paimon couldn't stand it anymore and slapped Luomu on the head to tell him not to bully the traveler.

As a punishment, Paimon was sitting on top of Luomu, drooling at the sight of the delicious food on the table.

Luo Mu tidied the ends of his hair helplessly: Why do these flying creatures like to land on my head so much?

At the dinner table, Luo Mu also saw his sister Wendy, whom Jellos had been talking about. This name brought back some memories of Luo Mu's past life. But it was obvious that this Wendy had nothing to do with the lazy Wind Elemental Ruler and the Herrscher Wendy. She was just a little girl with a petite figure and slender arms like delicate stamens. She was covered in a white nightgown and shyly greeted Ying and Luo Mu, while Paimon once again appeared in the greeting as a pet.

"I'm not a pet!" Paimon protested.

Luo Mu: "...Ancestor, if we are angry, then we are angry. Can you please stop sitting on my head and kicking me in the forehead?"

Luo Mu also fulfilled his original promise with Jellos. He asked the little girl Wendy to sit next to him and used his little magic power to create for her pieces of crystal snowflakes and misty clouds. He told the excited little girl interesting stories about the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, about the snow and wind, towering dead trees, ancient abandoned cities and mysterious caves. Wendy cheered again and again.

Jellos and his mother exchanged a warm look.

Ying was smiling softly the whole time, her eyes seemed to be looking at Luo Mu and the little girl, but they seemed to be floating without focus. She seemed to be thinking about something, but also seemed to be thinking about nothing.

"It's okay, we will find your brother." Suddenly, Luo Mu's clear and cool voice rang in Ying's ears. She came to her senses and found that Luo Mu was looking at her. She secretly made a funny face, turned around and continued chatting with Wendy.

And Paimon was already eating his fifth piece of pizza.

After dinner, the Jellos family cleared the tableware and dishes to the kitchen, and everyone gathered around the table, drinking cider and chatting idly.

In the fireplace, the newly replaced firewood was burning fiercely, and the warm orange light cast a warm tone on everyone.

…………

Time always flies fast in joy, and every time this happens, Luo Mu will "hate" the existence of relativity. Mrs. Filin cleaned up the two unoccupied rooms on the second floor for Luo Mu and Ying to use, and also thoughtfully found two sets of white nightgowns that fit them... for women.

Luo Mu: ...Hehe, as long as you guys are happy. Me? I just need to survive.

"Good night." Ying said to Luo Mu before entering the house. Looking at the blonde girl with a slender and graceful figure outlined by white clothes, Luo Mu felt as if his heart seemed to skip a beat.

"Good night..." Luo Mu stammered in response, and then hurried back to his room. His heart was beating fast, and there was a voice scolding him:

You are such a coward, what are you afraid of when talking to a girl? You have wasted your life! Stop it, stop it, stop it...

Luo Mu: System, you are taking revenge for your personal gain. Stop impersonating me and shut up!

After changing his clothes - although not very willingly - Luo Mu lay down on the bed with great effort. The physical fatigue and mental excitement conflicted with each other, and he fell asleep quickly. But his sleep was not sound. In his dream, the images of Wang Lang, Ying, Kong... and some people he knew in his previous life kept flashing before his eyes, waking him up every once in a while.

But this time, which was also the last time he woke up, Luo Mu confirmed that it was not because of mental excitement, because he clearly heard a steady and rhythmic knock on his door.

Outside the window, the full moon shines through the window, making the room as bright as day. Outside the door, the steady knocking continues, but the whole house seems to be dead. Except for Luo Mu, no one responds to the annoying sound. What a classic ghost movie scene!

But Luo Mu knew that this was not some ghost story. He could even easily determine who the person outside the door was, because he saw that the ominous mask that he had kept since the Wolf Territory in his waist bag on the table was flashing a faint blue light.

There was nothing outside the door, and he hoped that Luo Mu would know that he was outside the door before he opened it.
