"Better than you."
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
"The love of an immortal being, if it comes too intensely."
Xia Ci said to Xia Zhen meaningfully.
"There will be much less fun in the days to come."

Home.
Klee sat on the bed, looking at the beautiful lamp in front of her, and crisply recited the incantation to activate it: "[Please allow me to disturb your peace]".
The lights suddenly came on.
A familiar voice came from inside: "Why are the lights on again? Who's looking for me?"
Claire called out happily, "Mommy!"
Alice suddenly realized: "It's Klee! Why are you looking for me so late?"
"Klee misses her mom!"
"Mommy misses her baby too."
"I want to even more than my mom!"
"Hahaha."
Alice couldn't help but laugh, her laughter tinged with a hint of doting affection.
"Then Mom will talk to you for a while."
Klee immediately said, "Klee wants Mommy to tell her a story!"
"Let's tell a bedtime story. What story would you like to hear, baby?"
"It's about what happened to Mom when she was traveling. I want to hear about it. I can tell Yao Yao and Xia Lin about it tomorrow."
"Then let me tell you about the scenery of Inazuma. First is Mount Kagemachi, a great mountain in the north of Narukami Island, covered with magnificent cherry trees. These cherry trees share the same root system as the largest sacred cherry tree at the top of the mountain. The largest shrine in Inazuma, Narukami Taisha, is dedicated to this sacred cherry tree..."
Alice had barely begun her story when Klee exclaimed, "Klee knows about Shadow Mountain, and Klee knows about the Divine Cherry Tree. Those cherry blossoms are so beautiful!"
Alice seemed taken aback for a moment before asking, "Honey, how did you know? You haven't been to Inazuma, have you?"
Klee chuckled, "Klee has never been to Inazuma. Klee saw it through binoculars!"
"telescope?"
“Yes! Charlene gave me a telescope that can see very, very far. With it, I can see the Inazuma cherry blossoms from Mondstadt.”
"And who is Charlene?"
"Xia Lin calls Xia Zhi 'brother' and 'father'."
"!!!"
Alice's voice became much more urgent this time.
"Mr. Xia already has a daughter?"
"Yes, Xia Lin is Xia Zhi's third apprentice."
"apprentice?"
This person seems to know how to have fun.
Alice was silent for a moment, then said, "Honey, now that you've seen the scenery of Inazuma, I won't talk about that anymore. Tell Mommy who's with Mr. Xia."
"Does Mom want to know this?"
"Yes, Mom wants to know."
"There's Sister Xia Ci, Sister Xia Zhen..."
Klee read out everyone's names.
Alice listened silently, then said, "Thank you, darling."
"You're welcome, Mom! By the way, Mom! Have you ever seen the Inazuma Summer Festival?"
"Of course Mom has seen her."
"Isn't it fun?"
"Yeah, it's pretty fun."
"Is there going to be a fireworks display?"
"Hmm, the fireworks in Naganohara were pretty good."
"really?"
"of course."
"Klee made her own fireworks! They were so beautiful! I wish Klee could go to the Inazuma Summer Festival, Klee's fireworks would definitely be the best."
Alice smiled, neither refuting her daughter nor telling her that she was the one who taught her the fireworks formula for Naganohara.
"Mom, I want to go to Inazuma too."
"Okay, when Mommy comes back, Mommy will take you to Inazuma to play."
When will Mom be back?
"We cannot leave for the time being."
"...Mom, Keli wants to go to Inazuma with Brother Xiazhi."
"Is Inazuma their next destination, Mr. Xia?"
"Yes! That's what Brother Xia Zhi said."
“I understand. Mom doesn’t let you run around so that you can grow up safely. Inazuma is too far away and you have to take a boat, which is a bit dangerous, but since you’re traveling with a steady person like Mr. Xia, there’s not too much to worry about.”
"Mom, can I go?"
"Okay, but remember to use this lamp to contact your mother more often in the future."
"Ok!"
"It's getting late, baby, go to sleep."
Goodnight, Mom!

Above the sea.
A ship from the port of Omos is sailing.
In one of the ship's rooms, a girl about the same age as Amber was sitting upright on the bed, praying with her eyes closed.
She wore a feathered hair clip, slightly oversized sleeves, and a pair of archer gloves with loops around her middle finger.
She wore a short dress that exposed her armpits, a light green cape around her neck, and a pair of light yellow satin ribbons behind her.
The black over-the-knee stockings on her legs were of different lengths; the right stocking had three small dark yellow pieces on the upper side, while the shorter left stocking was secured at the top with a circular strap.
She wore a pair of peep-toe high-heeled boots with a tongue and fleece lining, and the toes were exposed at the front.
A Grass-type Eye of God was worn on her left waist with a ribbon.
What's strange is that the girl has many bandages wrapped around her body, as if to cover up some kind of wound.
The girl's object of prayer was the Little Lucky Grass King.
After she finished praying, she opened her eyes and looked out the window.
In the darkness of night, the sound of wind and waves continued to surge.
The girl sat on the bed, lost in thought.
"Based on the distance, it should take about 10 more days to reach Mondstadt."
"By then, the Flower Festival will probably be almost over, right?"
"First, deliver the things that the Grass God wants to send, and then go find Amber."
"I wonder what Grass God's friend needs so many Void Terminals for..."
"Amber should still remember me, right?"
Chapter 495 Xiao on the Road (4K)
Soft light filled the desk, and stacks of documents of varying thicknesses were piled up. The sharpened charcoal pencils scratched across the paper, their soft rustling echoing throughout the office.
Then suddenly there was a knock on the door, with a certain rhythmic feel to it.
Ningguang stopped writing, looked up at the door, and a hint of unexpected surprise appeared in her eyes.
She spoke first, "Ye Lan? You're back?"
The door opened with a click, and a familiar figure walked in, covered in the dust of the journey.
