How could such an innocent creature like Sayu lie to her!
So now, Yae Miko's suspicion had lessened considerably.
Afterward, she asked again: "But if you're returning to Inazuma, you don't have to be so rushed, do you? We could actually depart tomorrow; leaving at night is too dangerous."
To this, Yuuko laughed awkwardly: "It's a bit embarrassing to say, but I was also scared by the monsters here and don't really want to stay any longer..."
Yae Miko stared at Yuuko suspiciously, but ultimately said nothing, sighing helplessly.
Then she showed a mischievous smile again:
"Don't be afraid, Little Qian, aren't I here? I'll protect Little Qian well, you know~"
Kamisato Ayaka retorted, unwilling to be outdone: "I will protect Mr. Yuuko too!"
To this, Yuuko said helplessly:
"Stop messing around, we need to get back quickly now."
"Okay~"
And so, the three, plus one, continued their journey... Meanwhile, in Inazuma City, Tenshukaku.
Raiden Ei, who had been handling documents inside Tenshukaku, suddenly changed her expression slightly.
She stood up with a solemn face, left Tenshukaku, and looked at the island that had always floated in the sky, muttering softly:
"Celestia just cut off contact with Inazuma..."
Raiden Ei's expression grew increasingly solemn: "Could it be that the matter has been exposed?"
For some reason, Raiden Ei felt uneasy now.
An inexplicable restlessness arose in her heart, unable to subside for a long time.
She closed her eyes, and after a very long time, she reopened them.
"It seems things here also need to be brought forward!"
Thinking this, Raiden Ei turned and walked back into Tenshukaku.
With a series of actions, she opened the secret passage inside Tenshukaku and entered it.
Afterward, Raiden Ei arrived in a vast secret chamber.
In this secret chamber, a gigantic crystal was placed, and at the center of the crystal was a naked purple-haired woman.
The woman's appearance was identical to Raiden Ei's!
Even there... it was exactly the same!
Then, Raiden Ei placed her hand on the crystal and released a dazzling bolt of lightning.
Instantly, lightning covered the entire crystal, with countless lightning snakes darting chaotically within the crystal.
Bang!
The next moment, the crystal shattered.
And the woman inside the crystal, who was identical to Raiden Ei, was also freed from the crystal.
The woman stood on the ground, slowly opening her purple eyes.
Raiden Ei said apologetically: "I'm sorry, General, circumstances dictated it, I could only release you early. How is this body?"
Raiden Shogun looked around, then moved her body, and replied softly:
"Although it's slightly inferior to the previous one, it's not bad."
After speaking, she looked at Raiden Ei with a solemn expression again:
"To release this body before it was fully constructed, it seems there's an unavoidable battle ahead, isn't there?"
Raiden Ei sighed lightly: "Yes, next, we must contend with a formidable enemy."
...On the other side, in Mondstadt, Venti sat on the statue, his face filled with worry:
"This is troublesome... What should I do next?"
Just now, Venti had received a command, a command from Celestia!
Its content was: Attack Inazuma, eliminate Beelzebul!
Venti was very conflicted: should he obey this command, or not?
If he didn't obey, Celestia might turn its wrath on Mondstadt.
If he did obey, Venti didn't want to be an enemy of Inazuma, or of Yellow Fox.
But now, it seemed to be a time where he had to take a side. No matter what, Venti had to make a choice.
As the God of Mondstadt, he could not escape.
After another heavy sigh, Venti jumped down from the statue: "In any case, I'll go ask the old man for his thoughts first..."
Thinking this, Venti left Mondstadt.
And headed towards Liyue.
