"This is the Serenitea Pot…" Stelle stared at the vast and boundless world before her, and the huge house in the center of the world, utterly dumbfounded.
She had imagined it would be very large, after all, Cloud Retainer's own residence was already so big, let alone the house she had painstakingly designed with such care for so many days.
This was no longer something that an ordinary villa or even a manor could compare to.
"I feel like if I went in to live, I'd probably get lost." Stelle said with emotion to Cloud Retainer, who was beneath her.
Don't misunderstand, this was not Stelle successfully counterattacking; it was just that she couldn't fly into the sky to get a full view of the Serenitea Pot, so she could only let Cloud Retainer transform into her crane form to take her around and see.
"This Immortal also considered these things when designing it. There are the marvels of immortal mechanisms within. You'll know when you go in; the situation you mentioned won't occur." Cloud Retainer finished speaking, then paused.
"Can you control yourself? This Immortal's feathers are getting wet."
"Me, how can I control it?!" Stelle said, her face flushed.
How could she possibly control such a thing? What's more, if Cloud Retainer had given her clothes to wear and taken away the immortal toy inside her, this situation wouldn't have happened, would it?
"Truly helpless." Cloud Retainer shook her head, then flapped her wings in the air and flew towards the gigantic mansion.
A moment later, she slowly landed at the entrance of the mansion, and Stelle immediately jumped down from Cloud Retainer's body.
"Although this mansion is enormous, convenience was also considered. As long as you open the door, you will enter the room you have in mind." Cloud Retainer, having returned to human form, walked forward and pulled open the door.
Inside was not a living room, but a small, cozy bedroom.
"This is a single room; there are others." She closed the door again, then opened it once more.
This time, the situation inside changed again. It was no longer a small bedroom, but a double room with two large beds.
Stelle wasn't sure why Cloud Retainer would design such a room.
After all, if only she and Lumine were to live there in the future, it would be better to live separately. That way, she could sneak Lumine over to do things beneficial to body and mind while Paimon was asleep.
However, this thought had barely emerged when, with the closing and opening of that door, an even more absurd room appeared before Stelle's eyes.
"Th-this is too big, isn't it??" Stelle's eyes widened.
This room had nothing but some simple decorations; there was only one large bed.
A very, very large bed. Stelle estimated that the bedsheets would have to be custom-made; they couldn't be bought.
"This is so you can sleep together under one duvet in the future… But I'm not sure how many people you'll choose to be with at most, so I simply made the bed a bit larger." Cloud Retainer pushed up her glasses and said slowly.
"At, at most, it couldn't be more than three people!" Stelle quickly said.
Although she couldn't be sure about such things, if it exceeded that number, it would be too absurd.
Besides, it wouldn't be convenient to do things that way, would it…
"No matter what, if you need this room, use it. If not, it doesn't need cleaning if it just sits here. The house this Immortal made has an automatic cleaning method." Cloud Retainer said, closing the door.
"As long as you don't intentionally think about it, opening the door will lead to a normal room. You try?" Cloud Retainer stepped aside.
Stelle walked forward and slowly pushed open the door.
Then, the large bed room appeared before their eyes once again.
"…"
"It seems you still like this feeling." Cloud Retainer said with a light chuckle.
-----------------------------------------------
The next day, it was time for Stelle to leave.
After all, she had been out for several days. Although Cloud Retainer would bring some news from Liyue Harbor, Stelle was still very concerned about the girls with whom she had intimate relationships, so she didn't stay longer.
This time, at the residence on Mt. Aocang, Stelle not only gained a Serenitea Pot but also received extremely high-intensity training.
It could be said that she had now returned having mastered her skills. Stelle even felt confident that she wouldn't suffer a loss when facing four or five opponents of Lumine's caliber in the future.
"Master, I plan to reside in Liyue Harbor permanently." Shenhe looked at her master seriously and stated the decision she had long made.
Previously, she had been worried about whether she could integrate into Liyue Harbor, but after experiencing so many things, especially thinking about Stelle's help, Shenhe felt that she should take a further step.
In the future, even without Stelle by her side, she had to put Stelle at ease and prove that she could live very well by herself in Liyue Harbor.
"Hmm… this is also a good thing." Cloud Retainer pondered for a moment, then nodded.
She had long guessed Shenhe's thoughts and was mentally prepared for it.
However, she would have to live alone on Mt. Aocang again from now on, and she felt a little downhearted.
"Master, please take good care of yourself when you're alone."
"Hmph, this Immortal needs your reminder? Before you arrived, how many years had this Immortal lived alone? Just talking to myself, I could chat for a whole day." Cloud Retainer snorted lightly, speaking subconsciously.
She couldn't admit to her disciple that she had just felt a hint of loneliness.
"Chatting with yourself… sounds so pitiful." Stelle looked at Cloud Retainer with some concern.
She was quite blunt; most people wouldn't dare to say such a thing in front of her.
"Pi-pitiful?!" Cloud Retainer turned her head, looking at Stelle with some displeasure.
However, before she could say anything more, Stelle also realized something was amiss and immediately spoke again:
"Um, Cloud Retainer, have you never thought about living in Liyue Harbor too?"
"Hmph, how could this Immortal set foot in the mundane world?" Cloud Retainer huffed again, still annoyed.
"Why not? Doesn't that Lord of Dust and Liyue live quite well among humans?" Stelle rubbed her head.
"And, Zhongli is Rex Lapis, right? Even he is mingling with mortals in Liyue Harbor, so why can't Cloud Retainer?"
"This…" As Stelle spoke, Cloud Retainer also hesitated.
She slowly looked at Shenhe.
Shenhe, who had spent so many years with her master day and night, immediately understood that her master needed a way out of the situation.
"If Master could go to Liyue Harbor, it would be much more convenient for my senior sister and me to visit you." Shenhe said calmly.
"Since that is the case, this Immortal shall give it some consideration for your sakes."
