Using the teleportation anchor point to return to Xumi, Nangong Ya went straight to Nashida with the somewhat excited Apep.

"So that's how it is. Welcome to join us."

After learning of Apep's identity and her willingness to help protect Xumi, Nashida happily welcomed her.

"Hmph, but don't welcome me too soon, the current King of Grass. One day I will take back my Xumi."

Apep held little Buyer, who was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes, and snorted coldly at Nashida.

"Okay, but I won't hand it over easily."

Nashida responded with a smile; she didn't sense much hostility from Apep.

"Well, Buyer seems sleepy. I'll take her to rest first."

After patting little Buyer on the back gently, Apep said something and stood up to leave.

"Let me arrange a room for you."

Nashida also stood up and followed. Ever since the Great Compassion Tree King was touched by Nangong Ya, she had actually seen little Buyer very little. After all, she had been very busy, and the acting sage seemed very reluctant to take on more work.

"No, don't you call me when you go to sleep?"

Nangong Ya, who was secretly eating date palm honey nearby, raised her head quickly, only to find that the two had already walked away.

Nangong Ya chased out but couldn't find anyone, so she had to go find Ying and Paimeng in frustration.

And in a place that Nangong Ya didn't notice, Nashida grabbed Apep.

"Apep, I have something I need to verify. Do you know when the False Sky appeared?"

Nashida asked this question to the oldest dragon of life grass she knew so far.

"Well, that thing, I have to start from the time when the world turned upside down..."

……

When Nangong Ya found Ying and Paimeng again, they were having dinner and saying goodbye to Dixia, Nilu and others in the restaurant.

"Alas, Apepu and Buyer didn't follow me, so there's no one to eat these delicious coconut charcoal cakes with."

Little Ruota said with some regret while holding a piece of coconut charcoal cake in both hands.

Although it tasted a bit strange, she thought it tasted really good.

"Then I'll try it."

Nangong Ya reached out and took the coconut charcoal cake from Xiao Ruotuo's hand, and sat down next to her.

Xiao Ruotu didn't mind, but looked at Nangong Ya with anticipation, wanting to see her reaction after eating.

"Xiaoya, you're here."

Ying and Paimon saw Nangong Ya coming. Ying greeted her while Paimon was busy finishing the food in front of him.

"Sister Xiaoya, do you want to go with the travelers? But they want to take the road through the desert..."

Ni Lu, who was sitting next to her, asked in surprise. After all, Nangong Ya didn't look like the type who was good at dealing with the desert environment.

With such long hair, such long sleeves, and white socks, if you go for a walk in the desert dressed like this, I'm afraid you'll have a pound or two of sand on your body when you come out, right?

"Don't worry, I don't plan to go with them. Just wait until they are almost there and use the teleportation anchor to pick me up."

Nangong Ya shrugged and explained, then took a bite of the coconut charcoal cake in her hand.

Oh my god, why does it feel like I swallowed a mouthful of sand...

However, although it is very dry and crumbly, the unique flavor is really good.

But if someone has less saliva secretion, their throat may become dry after taking a bite...

"So Xiaoya, you had this in mind. No wonder you urged us to leave quickly."

Ying said speechlessly that as long as she went to Fontaine to touch the teleportation anchor point, she could come back and bring Nangong Ya to touch the teleportation anchor point as well.

“Gurgle gurgle… There’s nothing I can do. I have to go back to Liyue. I’m going to ask the Liyue Seven Stars for something. When I go to Fontaine, I won’t have to make an appointment to see the Water God.”

Nangong Ya snatched the drink next to Xiao Ruotuo and took a big gulp. After she recovered, she explained to Ying.

After all, Funina, the water goddess of Fontaine, is very popular in Fontaine. Generally speaking, if you want to meet her, you have to make an appointment in advance.

Although she was there to deliver a letter, few people knew her. If she wanted to meet them according to normal procedures, she might need some special identity.

It’s better to have Mondstadt Liyue Inazuma Xumi. With her status, she can enter and exit freely no matter whether it is the Knights of Favonius, Yujingtai or Qun Yu Pavilion, Castle Tower, Palace of Wisdom or Palace of Purity.

"Okay, I'll go back to Liyue to find you later. Don't run around again, or I won't be able to find you."

Ying nodded and agreed. After all, since Nangong Ya was going to see the Water God, they could go with her.

Just like that, after a hearty meal, everyone said goodbye to each other. Dishia sent Nilu back to the Grand Bazaar, Nangong Ya also returned to Liyue, and Ying took Paimon and Xiao Ruota to the desert.

"It's sand~!"

Walking in the yellow sand, little Ruota happily jumped towards the sand dunes.

As a rock dragon, she does not hate the yellow sand as much as Apep does. To her, the desert is like the ocean to humans, so she is so excited.

"Wow!"

After the little Ruota pounced over, he immediately turned back into his original form and fell headfirst into the sand dune. The raised sand scared Paimeng so much that he quickly hid behind Ying.

Afterwards, little Ruotu activated the Earth Dragon Movement and drilled directly into the yellow sand, mistaking it for the earth.

"Hey, don't run too far and scare others. Remember to keep up with us."

At Ying's signal, Paimon had to muster up the courage to shout at the Dragon King Rudra who had burrowed into the sand.

"it is good!"

The Dragon King Rāshtra responded in the sand, and the sound was like thunder, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

Ying and Paimeng then continued to move towards Mount Dama. As long as they crossed the Thousand Valleys Sandy Land where Mount Dama was located, they would arrive at a port in Fontainebleau.

"Hahaha, I found a new little brother!"

As the two were on their way, little Ruota emerged from the sand again, holding a huge green sandworm in its mouth.

"Quick, imitate Apep and transform into a human form, change quickly!"

Placing the wind-eroded sandworm on the ground, little Ruota lowered his head and nudged it with his horn, urging it on impatiently.

From the little white snake Orobas to Apep and little Buyel, she seemed to like the feeling of being a big sister.

Wind-eroded sandworm: “…”

The poor sandworm huddled up and shivered, not daring to move.

"..."

Ying and Paimeng held their foreheads helplessly, ignored Xiao Ruota's troubles with the wind-eroded sandworms, and continued to move towards their destination.

Soon, the two passed through the Thousand Valleys Sand Land and came to the location of the Cangshi Desert and Fuluo Garden. Here they could still see the dark energy cast from the gap in the air from the side of Fuluo Garden, and there seemed to be something below releasing green energy to fight against it in the air, and the two energies canceled each other out.

"Something's not right over there. Could that thing in the sky be the power of the abyss? Should we go over and take a look?"

Paimon hid behind Ying and couldn't help but suggest this.
