Jun Bai stood on the city wall, his gaze fixed firmly ahead. His right hand gripped the white-tasseled spear tightly, his body leaning slightly backward as astonishing Pyro elements converged on him.
Suddenly, he charged forward fiercely. His steps were vigorous and powerful. His right foot stomped hard on the ground, and his body shot forward like an arrow leaving the string.
The white-tasseled spear in his right hand was raised high, his arm straightened, forming a straight line with his body. At the highest point of his body's ascent, Jun Bai forcefully threw the long spear forward.
The long spear entwined with Pyro elements drew a graceful arc in the air, like a majestic eagle spreading its wings and soaring.
The flames condensed into shape, forming a fire phoenix with a majestic posture, beautiful and elegant. Yet beneath hidden the beauty was extreme power.
The long spear carrying the phoenix landed on Stormterror's body.
The fire phoenix exploded. The heat wave from the explosion directly blew away Lumine, who was not far away. Fortunately, Venti used the thousand-year flowing wind to protect Lumine, so she was not injured.
Stormterror, however, was far less fortunate.
Stormterror let out a mournful cry. Its cyan scales and feathers turned pitch black.
A trace of clarity appeared in its eyes. Stormterror looked toward Jun Bai, then flapped its wings and left Mondstadt City.
At this point, the dragon disaster in Mondstadt City came to an end. Under Jun Bai's intervention, no one in Mondstadt was injured or killed there was only some minor property damage.
Although with Venti present, Mondstadt City would not have suffered any casualties anyway, but…
Players who had just come into contact with the plot would not think of this. What players could see was only: Stormterror was repelled by Jun Bai, and the residents of Mondstadt City remained safe and sound under Jun Bai's protection.
Venti, this detail's popularity is hot in your hands let your brother take it. Brother knows you don't care about these vain names.
Jun Bai sensed a gaze landing on him...well, now it was two gazes.
One came from high in the sky, and one... came from the breeze.
Jun Bai ignored Lumine's gaze, unfolded his flaming wings, and left the city wall.
It was not yet time to meet Lumine, and Jun Bai did not want to go clear the ley lines at those four temples it was too troublesome. So for now, he might as well go meet his "old friend."
...
[This fire phoenix is so cool!]
[Is Jun Bai this strong? He beat Stormterror into this state with one move.]
[Did everyone notice? Jun Bai only made a move when he saw Stormterror about to harm the residents in the city. I'm starting to like this character a bit, bros.]
[I just came over from Little Gui's side. She was so charmed by Jun Bai that her heart and lungs stopped. She's still lying on the chair now.]
[Even Wolf Cub was stunned by my White Bro. Stelle is still so calm. Is she really a lesbian?]
The water friends who had been lurking in the livestream room boiled over because of Jun Bai's strike.
Most people were because of his good looks he was a handsome white-haired guy who could play with fire plus the fact that his fire phoenix move was indeed cool.
A small portion of people noticed the reason Jun Bai took action and the small details when he did so, thus developing an initial favorable impression of Jun Bai.
Therefore, the strike Jun Bai launched with 1000 popularity points brought him dozens of times the return.
Popularity value easily broke through the ten-thousand mark and continued to rise steadily.
"So we flew up just to be blown away again?" Stelle watched Lumine being sent flying by the residual power of the fire phoenix explosion and teased, "Just wait. After the livestream ends, I'll edit this segment together with the opening animation and Queen's Descent. It will definitely be very interesting."
[Honkai's Queen descends on Teyvat. The twins go to meet the enemy, and then it ends with Lumine being sent flying.]
[It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it.]
[Star's ideas are still as lively as ever.]
After Stormterror retreated, Lumine returned to the front of the church in Mondstadt City and was treated as an honored guest by Cavalry Captain Kaeya and brought back to the Knights of Favonius.
Listening to Kaeya's voice, Stelle fell into thought, then suddenly spoke: "Is Kaeya's voice actor Teacher Sun Ye?"
"The one who does 'Crazy Crazy Thursday, original chicken two for nine nine.'"
[Hiss—— it really does sound quite similar.]
[Wolf Cub's side already showed it. It really is Sun Ye.]
[So is Genshin Impact going to collab with KFC in the future?]
Kaeya and Amber brought Lumine to the Knights of Favonius, hoping that this Traveler who could face Stormterror head-on would lend a helping hand.
Stelle thought the plot segment ended here and prepared to eat lunch first before continuing the livestream, only to discover that there was still another segment afterward.
Lumine and Paimon followed Kaeya and Amber and left. Then the screen went black.
When the screen lit up with color again, what appeared before the streamer and the water friends was a green-clothed youth who kept sneezing. His face was youthful, he held a lyre in his hand, and he was wearing white stockings on his slender legs.
For a moment, it was actually difficult to tell his gender.
[This... at first glance I thought this character was a girl.]
[South Beam!]
[Isn't it a bit against the natural order for a man to wear white stockings? But it looks pretty good. MiHoYo, go harder!]
[Fun fact: White stockings were originally designed for British male nobles.]
"Knowing that you're allergic to cat hair, you still chose to meet at the Cat's Tail Tavern."
Before the person appeared, the voice arrived first. Jun Bai, dressed in dark red casual clothes, came before the green-clothed youth.
"Ah-choo." The green-clothed youth rubbed his nose, then smiled at Jun Bai while plucking the strings of the lyre. "Long time no see, Phemix. No, I should call you Jun Bai. Seeing you successfully achieve nirvana and return is worth a song from me."
[Phemix??? Is this another name for Jun Bai?]
[Wait, isn't the Anemo Archon called Barbatos? Could Phemix also be one of the Seven Archons?]
[Does that mean Jun Bai is the Pyro Archon?]
[I don't know if he's the Pyro Archon, but I think I can already confirm Jun Bai's true identity.]
[Indeed. Pyro, wings, Phemix (Phoenix), and nirvana. This can no longer be considered a hint it's a blatant reveal.]
"It really has been a long time, Ba... uh, no, Venti."
Venti smiled, then sneezed again: "Ah-choo."
[Huh? There's something going on.]
[Ba… Could this character who looks like South Beam be the Anemo Archon Barbatos?]
[I'm a closed beta player. I really want to spoiler right now.]
Jun Bai held his forehead and smiled helplessly: "Let's change places to chat. How about Angel's Share? My treat."
Venti's eyes lit up: "Really!"
Jun Bai nodded: "Of course it's real."
"Then let's go quickly!"
The screen went black again. When it lit up, the Lumine controlled by the player was already inside the Knights of Favonius.
[? Two characters who are suspected to be the Anemo Archon and the Pyro Archon are about to talk about something that feels very important, and you're not letting me watch?]
[Insane. My interest was just piqued.]
[The poor Wolf Cub next door is crying and making a fuss because she can't see the new plot.]
"Friends, I'm going to eat first. I'll be back soon." Stelle temporarily closed the livestream room and ran off to cook.
She completely ignored the water friends in the livestream room.
The water friends expressed helplessness about this, but there was nothing they could do.
Doing whatever she wants is also one of Stelle's characteristics.
