To the eternal you

"Huh, I finally climbed up, I'm so tired——"

Paimon stuck out his little tongue, looking tired, like a big iron ball was tied to his hands and feet, and he didn't feel so energetic when he was floating.

"Didn't little Paimon use magic to fly?"

Ying put her hands on her knees, let out a breath, looked at Paimon and joked.

"Who stipulated that those who use flying will not be tired! Really, I have no sympathy at all, and my phantom limbs are obviously very tired!"

Paimon raised his little powder fist in anger, showing off his power like a little puffer fish.

"If Sister Paimon doesn't mind, you can rest in my arms."

The girl suggested gently.

"Hmm...Although it feels good, but if you really do this, sister Pimeng will be looked down upon by travelers, so thank you for your kindness, Qiqi-chan."

But having said that, this is also a decision that requires considerable perseverance to make!

It's as difficult as choosing between Sweet Flower Stuffed Chicken and Mond Potato Cake!Really, there is no way to have the best of both worlds!

"But Xiao Qi doesn't seem to be tired at all, should I say that she really deserves to be a fairy?"

Ying looked at the leisurely little girl who still had a flowing skirt, not to mention sweat, her fair and tender face didn't even change her breathing except for a slight blush when she occasionally smiled shyly.

"It's just because my physique is a bit special than ordinary people. When I step on the land of Liyue, there will be a steady stream of rock power provided to me, so the consumption seems to be a drop in the bucket."

"Isn't Qiqijiang also very good at fighting? We also met a maid named Noelle in Mond. Even without elemental power, she can lift things that are several times her own weight with just her own body strength. !"

"And she feels similar to Qi, with a gentle and shy personality. If you meet again, you will definitely become good friends."

Paimon introduced Miss Noelle, who was far away in Mond, with great interest, and Qi nodded and praised from time to time.

"I didn't expect there to be such a caring lady maid, working hard for the wishes of others, and having such a positive spirit of self-sacrifice."

"Huh—" the girl said contentedly, "I'm so lucky to have such fellows in other parts of the world."

"But sometimes it's hard work, right?" Ying said thoughtfully, "Although Noelle looks like she's enjoying it, you can see her tired expression occasionally when she's resting. They're all holding a storybook."

"Is it true that reading a book while resting can calm your body and mind and get a better tranquilizing effect? ​​What story does that book tell?"

Qi asked curiously.

"I remember it was called "The Gentle God"..."

The traveler gradually recalled the scene of that day. Not long after the dragon disaster was over, everyone worked hard to restore the operation of the facilities in the city. She received a commission to clean the roofs of the residents. , it happened that the Knights were short of manpower, so she had to handle it.

Because of this, she met Noelle who was assigned to repair the windmill, and the two helped each other, working from morning to afternoon to finish the commission.

At that time, Noelle was sitting in the Deer Hunter restaurant, holding the storybook, quietly enjoying the extremely short time that belonged to him.

The afternoon sun dyed the maid's silver hair with a touch of warmth. The well-tailored knight maid outfit is silver and red, and a bright rose is pinned to the silver arm armor. The black silk stockings outline the girl's legs She gently flipped through the book, reading every page very seriously.

"Traveler, have you read "The Gentle God"? The god in the book is very gentle. She always tries her best to help everyone. Although she encounters a lot of suffering, she never gives up and brings hope to everyone. "

At that time, Noelle's expression was very pitiful, and her fingertips gently stroked the pages of the book that she had read several times.

"In the end, I even gave my life for it... Everyone didn't like the ending, so the book was forced to stop selling soon. But I like the god in the book very much, and I don't think her way It's wrong, if you think about it carefully, she was like my first love to me when I was a child."

Noelle, who blushed while talking, swept away the tiredness, and instead showed a more lively and uplifting expression, probably like the feeling of "morning sunshine" and "windmill chrysanthemum moving with the wind".

"Is that so..." Qi replied a little awkwardly, and at the same time looked at the traveler carefully, and the other party returned a soft gaze.

Was, was discovered?

Sure enough, it's better to be honest...

"Where is the immortal's prayer—!"

As soon as he set foot on the peak of Aozang Mountain, a voice echoed throughout the mountains.

"Huh?!" Paimon covered his ears, showing a look of lingering fear, "This fairy has such a loud voice!"

Ying also had to stop the "affectionate" gaze with the girl, and turned to look at the front of the Xianjia cave, and the True Monarch Liuyun Borrowing the Wind came out.

Indigo crane feathers, the abdomen is like the white of flowing clouds, the slender feet are from topaz to green black, the head has three feathers intertwined with blue and black, two eyebrows, one is like a fin at the back of the head, dotted with bright gold , noble temperament.

At this moment, it is spreading its wings, raising its neck and making a *indescribable* chirping sound.

Although she looks like a celestial being, but the anxious look of not being able to find her child has greatly reduced the sense of distance...

Qibao, ah no, Qi hurriedly ran forward and waved at her.

"Zhenjun Liuyun Borrowing the Wind, I am here—!"

"It's okay, it's okay, if I lose you, I'm ashamed to tell the emperor! I don't have the face to meet the other three-eyed and five-shouldered immortals again. Let me have a look, but I bumped into each other... "

This True Monarch Liuyun Borrowing Wind is not the same as the Immortal known by the public, at least Paimeng and Ying could not distinguish between this Immortal who babbled like a mother crane and the majestic True Monarch Moon Cutting and Building Sun Compare.

"Thank you, Zhenjun, for your concern, and please pray for nothing." The girl fondly followed Zhenjun Liuyun Borrowing Wind's feathers, and Paimon was a little envious of her happy appearance, she also wanted to be touched like that, no!It was right to touch the feathers of that True Monarch Liuyun Borrowing Wind.

"Then, can you tell me, why are you going out on this trip?"

"The thing is..."

The girl narrated, Ying and Paimon added, after understanding the situation.

"Emperor...the emperor's deadline has come!?"

True Monarch Liuyun Borrowing the Wind seemed quite shocked. It would be better to say that if there were no outsiders present, he might have started making *indescribable* jittering noises again.

"Besides, it's really... absurd to appoint this traveler as his agent, and it's hard for me to believe it. Just reach out your hand, and I want to check it out."

Yingshun spread out her palms obediently, revealing the golden seal of the rock, and hit her head hard, causing Zhenjun Liuyun to lean back with a little shock.

"What kind of changes happened to Liyue that made the emperor make such a choice, and even the inheritance was handed over to outsiders. After hearing what you said, I am afraid that Liyuegang broke the emperor's heart. Zailai Dijun became sick from overwork, and he was also depressed when he saw this situation, so he finally became like this..."
