Although Frostbite is an Abyss Apostle with the Cryo attribute, reality is different from the game. He does not have an Cryo shield, nor is he immune to Cryo damage. If he reacts even a fraction of a second too late, it will be too late.
To prevent any accidents, Gan Yu fired three more arrows in quick succession after the first one, and the raging ice element completely tore Frost Kill to pieces.
Become!
The system notification for mission completion sounded the instant Frostkill was killed.
[Ding! The host has successfully completed the mission to rescue Xiangling, and has received 500,000 Mora, 100 points, and 100 experience points. The keyword "Telepathy" has been randomly assigned to the host.]
[Telepathy]: Can be granted to multiple owners. When one owner experiences intense emotional fluctuations, other owners within a certain range will feel the same way. (0/5)
Lu Lin: ?
This entry is absolutely incredible!
It can connect five people telepathically?!
If you combine this with "Double the Happiness," the effect is simply unimaginable!
"Xiangling, how are you? Are you hurt?" Hu Tao skipped over to Xiangling, interrupting Lu Lin's reverie.
"I'm fine, I'm not hurt. What happened just now? And who is this gentleman?" Xiangling turned her head to look at Lu Lin, feeling a strange sense of closeness to this boy.
"This is where Lu Lin comes in. We were all distracted for a moment, and you were right next to him. We didn't even see what was going on."
"Is it... a teleportation-like ability?" Gan Yu walked over at this moment.
She had already experienced two time stops, both of which occurred while she was conscious, so she had some idea about Lu Lin's abilities.
It's just that the direction is off.
Judging from the actual performance, the effect was indeed very similar to teleportation. Lu Lin did not refute it, but simply gave Gan Yu a thumbs up, and no one talked about the topic much.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Lu. When you return to Liyue, you're welcome to visit Wanmin Hall. I can cook you something delicious!"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I've long heard of Chef Xiangling's extraordinary culinary skills, and it would be wonderful to have the opportunity to taste them!"
Xiangling and Guoba escaped safely, and the two Abyss Apostles, the source of the monster rampage, have been eliminated. Now only the two black spheres remain.
Although the sphere was created by fusing the remnants of a demon god with the power of the abyss, it is not very powerful in itself. Its main function is to erode and destroy, and it is used to break through barriers.
Unfortunately, it encountered the barrier left by the Rock King Emperor. This demon god was originally suppressed and killed by the Rock King Emperor. What trouble could its remnants possibly cause?
But Gan Yu was also having some trouble figuring out how to deal with the two spheres.
Just then, the barrier that had been silent suddenly changed.
The barrier suddenly opened, and a yellow light enveloped the two black spheres in the middle, followed by a flash of bright light!
Gan Yu and the others instinctively covered their eyes. After the light disappeared, the entire palace was empty. The yellow barrier, the green light, and the black sphere had all vanished.
The barrier and the black sphere are understandable; in the end, the power of the barrier should have completely eliminated the black sphere. But where did the green light go?
......
The ruins of Guili Plain were shrouded in thick black fog. Xingqiu had just dealt with another wave of monsters and was resting on the spot.
A whole day has passed since Hu Tao and Lu Lin suddenly disappeared. He has been searching everywhere and has cleared out a lot of monsters in the process, but he still has no clue about the two.
He too was being corrupted by the black mist and was gradually losing his strength.
"Hmm? The black mist has thinned out a lot?" After resting for a while, he suddenly noticed that the black mist was disappearing rapidly.
He was wondering about this change when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Oh my, Xingqiu is here too, what a coincidence!"
He looked back and saw Hu Tao, Gan Yu, Xiang Ling, and Mr. Lu Lin slowly emerging from the black mist.
"We've finally found you all! Is everyone alright?"
"It's alright, it's alright. The source of the problem has been solved. Once we clear out these monsters, we can go back!"
"You guys are really amazing, finding the source so quickly."
"Everyone, let's work harder and clear out the monsters. Then we'll go to Wanmin Hall for a good meal! It's on me, the hall master!"
......
Unbeknownst to them, a piece of clothing lingered for a moment amidst the ruins before drifting away.
Chapter Twelve: I Want Something Sweeter
A floating palace hangs above Liyue Harbor.
This is the residence of Ningguang, one of Liyue's most prominent merchants and a powerful contemporary member of the Liyue Seven Stars, named Qunyu Pavilion.
As a member of the planet Tianquan, Ningguang has a lot of official duties to handle every day, and she is also one of the humans who understands Liyue the most.
Ningguang, who knows all the secrets of Liyue Harbor, is Liyue Harbor's greatest secret.
This is the evaluation of her by Kaiyang Star, who is also one of the Seven Stars.
Qunyu Pavilion, Ningguang's office.
Wearing a bathrobe and with her white hair flowing down her shoulders, Ningguang sat at the table, on which were two urgent intelligence reports.
The morning light was just beginning to break through the window; it was barely dawn. She usually didn't get up this early, but today she was woken up by these two urgent intelligence reports.
Despite wearing a bathrobe, her beautiful figure was still undeniable, especially her chest, which was the most spectacular, creating a full and captivating curve.
Her hands were well-maintained, slender and long. She picked up the first piece of intelligence on the table and began to read it carefully.
Mondlong Disaster Observation Report
"Recently, a dragon plague broke out in the neighboring country of Mondstadt, causing considerable damage. It has been found that the dragon plague was caused by Dvalin, the Stormterror, a former servant of the Wind God."
......
In resolving the dragon calamity, a mysterious blonde girl played a significant role and was awarded the title of Honorary Knight by the Knights of Mondstadt. It is said that this girl plans to travel to Liyue soon.
Ningguang put down the intelligence report, pondered for a moment, and then picked up another intelligence report.
Report on the Handling of the Monster Outbreak in Guili Plain
"Recently, a large amount of black mist suddenly appeared in Guili Plain, causing a large number of monsters to riot. The source has now been identified and the problem has been resolved..."
Huh? The source of the monster rampage in Guili Plain has been resolved? That was faster than I imagined!
Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor has made a move?
Gan Yu was also present. With the bloodline of a celestial beast, she possessed extraordinary strength, so it's not surprising that she was able to resolve the situation so quickly.
Or perhaps it's that mysterious and unpredictable Demon-Slaying Sage?
Wait, who is Lu Lin?
Ningguang read down the report, and her eyes narrowed slightly when she saw Lu Lin's name.
Why is this report so vague and unclear?
......
The report was indeed vague, but this cannot be blamed on the person who wrote it; Gan Yu simply omitted the process in her narration.
Although Gan Yu and Hu Tao ultimately worked together to kill the two troublesome Abyss Apostles, Lu Lin was the one who truly deserved the greatest credit.
If he hadn't dispelled the influence of the black mist on the two women and helped them regain their fighting strength, the outcome of the situation would have been very different.
However, his method of dispelling the black mist was rather difficult to explain, and Gan Yu did not want to bury Lu Lin's contribution, so this vague report was produced.
Lu Lin didn't care about merit or not, but according to Gan Yu, solving such a big event would bring a lot of material rewards. Lu Lin was new here and short of money, so it wouldn't hurt to take advantage of the situation.
After dealing with the monsters in Guili Plains, the group returned to Liyue Harbor together.
Because of the continuous high-intensity battles, everyone was exhausted. They agreed to meet at Wanmintang the next night for a good get-together, and then went home to rest.
Only Gan Yu and Lu Lin did not go back immediately, but instead strolled around Liyue Harbor.
The main purpose of Gan Yu's shopping trip was, of course, to buy some furniture to furnish her new home.
Bedside table, dressing table, a large desk, bookshelves, a beautiful sofa, a large wardrobe...
When it comes to spending money, Lu Lin's 1.5 million Mora seems to be not enough, but Gan Yu did not let him spend money and insisted that he spend his own money to decorate his own house.
After all, that's her new home!
It was a rare treat to go on such a shopping spree, and since she was shopping with Lu Lin, Gan Yu's smile never faded.
As the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars, she knows every shop in Liyue Harbor like the back of her hand, and she knows exactly which shop is best for what to buy.
Therefore, the shopping was very efficient. In just half a day, all kinds of things were bought. Lu Lin put them into the Chenge Pot one by one, and soon it was arranged in a decent manner.
"I...I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep now~"
"Sleep well, good afternoon!"
"good afternoon!"
It was already noon when the room was set up, and Gan Yu was extremely sleepy.
She received news of Xiangling's disappearance at night and rushed into Guili Plain. After fighting for a full day and two nights, she only had a short rest at Chenge Pot in the middle of the journey and was already exhausted.
......
Gan Yu slept very comfortably. She has always had good sleep quality; people who can fall asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow generally have good sleep quality.
But I slept exceptionally well tonight, perhaps because this place feels more like home?
"Awake? Are you hungry?" Lu Lin sat at the newly bought desk, seemingly reading a book, but actually researching the exchange mall.
With 300 points in hand, he is figuring out how to spend them wisely.
"Hmm~ I am indeed hungry."
"Go wash up first, I've made something delicious, I'll bring it up for you."
The kitchen was on the first floor. Lu Lin came downstairs with a bowl of steaming hot glutinous rice balls and came up. The moment he pushed the door open, he couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.
Gan Yu was wearing a newly bought nightgown, a new style from Fontaine, which Lu Lin had carefully selected and given to her.
The nightgown is simple yet elegant, with short sleeves that reveal a pair of fair, delicate arms. The neckline and hem are adorned with exquisite lace trim, and the skirt is fluffy, light, and flowing.
Gan Yu has an elegant and quiet temperament. Wearing such a simple and elegant nightgown, she looks like a pure white flower in the mountains.
Such an elegant and graceful girl stood tall and graceful in front of the table, her gaze gentle and affectionate. Lu Lin's heart skipped several beats!
"Here, have some steaming hot glutinous rice balls. Try them and see how they taste."
Gan Yu possesses the bloodline of a Qilin, and she drinks only sweet dew and eats only auspicious grains. She is a staunch vegetarian, and red bean paste-filled glutinous rice balls are just what she likes.
The girl sat down at the desk, pulled out another chair and patted it, then opened her mouth slightly in a coquettish manner, like a cat trying to please someone.
She wanted Lu Lin to feed her.
When the elegant and ethereal young girl suddenly made such an adorable and coquettish gesture, Lu Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at? I'm hungry, hurry up and feed me~" The girl, with her contrasting personality, completely let loose and urged him in a sweet voice.
"Alright, I'll feed you, you little glutton~" Lu Lin sat down on the chair, scooped up a steaming glutinous rice ball with a soup spoon, blew on it gently, and then brought it to her lips.
"Slow down, be careful it's hot!"
The girl opened her mouth slightly and took the glutinous rice ball that was brought to her mouth in one gulp, puffing out her cheeks like a hamster.
"Mmm~ It's delicious. Did you make this?"
"The glutinous rice balls were pre-made and I just boiled them."
"Hehe, you made that too!"
"If you like it, have another one." Lu Lin did the same thing and fed him another one.
After eating three glutinous rice balls in a row, she finally felt better from her hunger. Then, the girl's eyes lit up and she came up with another idea.
"Mmm~ Feed me one more."
She opened her small mouth, but this time she didn't take the food Lu Lin fed her into her mouth. Instead, she gently held it in her teeth.
After she caught it in her mouth, she suddenly leaned forward and got close to Lu Lin. She winked playfully, and Lu Lin immediately understood.
He obediently opened his mouth slightly, and the girl's cherry lips parted slightly as she fed him the glutinous rice ball she was holding.
Their lips touched briefly before parting, and the girl asked with a grin, "Was it good?"
"It's sweet, but..." Lu Lin put down the bowl in his hand.
