Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Linghua widened her eyes, staring at the face of the person in front of her in disbelief. Her lips trembled slightly, and she murmured to herself, "This is not a dream... Xinyang, is it really you?" Linghua's voice was full of confusion and surprise. She couldn't believe what she saw.

"I'm back, Linghua." As these gentle words were slowly uttered, Linghua's eyes instantly became moist, as if all the strength in her body was drained away at this moment, and she suddenly threw herself into Xinyang's arms like a fragile flower.

Linghua's hands hammered against Xinyang's chest like raindrops, each blow filled with endless anger and deep worry. Her voice gradually became choked with sobs. "You bastard, you're still alive, why didn't you come back? Why did you make me worry for so long? I thought... I thought you'd... still made promises with me, breaking them again and again." Xinyang silently endured Linghua's emotional punches, neither dodging nor resisting. He simply stood there quietly, like a calm harbor, accepting all of Linghua's emotions.

After a moment, Xinyang slowly reached out and gently patted Linghua's back. With incredibly tender words, he said, "I'm sorry, Linghua. This is the last time. I'll never leave you again." Hearing these words, Linghua's sobs intensified. She wrapped her arms tightly around Xinyang's neck, fearing that if she let go, Xinyang would disappear from her world again. "I won't let go this time, ever," Linghua whispered softly.

After saying this, Linghua stood on tiptoe and offered him a passionate and affectionate kiss. At this moment, time stopped flowing, and the whole world was left with only the two of them.

After a long time, Linghua's mood gradually calmed down.

"You are such a big liar! If you dare to deceive me like this again, don't even think about stepping into my house again!" Linghua said coquettishly, but her tone was not as excited as before.

"Okay, I promise you, there won't be a next time. If I break my promise again, I'll be..."

Linghua quickly reached out and covered Xinyang's mouth with her hand. "Alright, I understand," she interrupted. "Besides, Mom is here, I don't think you'd dare to lie to me."

When he said this, Xinyang's eyes involuntarily looked towards the grave behind Linghua. However, he was surprised to see his familiar West Wind Sword quietly inserted next to the grave! Xinyang couldn't help but widen his eyes and shouted in surprise: "Isn't this my West Wind Sword? I always thought it was lost!" Linghua heard his words, sighed softly, and said: "How dare you say that! Since that day, you have disappeared from the face of the earth, without any news. We searched everywhere for your whereabouts, but we found nothing. In the end, we only found this sword left at the scene. Everyone thought you had met with an accident... So, we put it together with mother." There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in her voice.

Xinyang walked slowly to the grave and said softly, "It's been a long time since we last met, Mom. Thank you for keeping this sword safe for me. I've never forgotten the promise we made. Now that I'm back, I'll take the sword back. I'll come visit you whenever I have time."

After the ceremony, Xinyang turned to Linghua and said, "Alright, let's go home, Linghua. My brother told me you've been away all day and all night." On the way back to Kamisato's residence, Linghua began to stagger. Seeing this, Xinyang offered to carry her on his back. When he saw Linghua's eyes gradually close, Toma approached and spoke to Xinyang.

"I'm so sorry...it's all my fault..."

"That's enough!" Xin Yang interrupted Thomas without hesitation. "I've never blamed you. If you still consider me your brother, don't mention this again. If you have nothing else to do, why not tell me about Linghua's life over the past month?"

"For the first few days, the young lady was steadfastly convinced that you were still alive. She would tirelessly search for you every day, often weeping heartbreakingly at night, nearly fainting. However, about two weeks later, the young lady's personality suddenly changed dramatically. From then on, she immersed herself day and night in swordsmanship training. Whenever she heard news of a monster stalking and harming innocent people, she would rush to the scene and do her utmost to destroy it. I once secretly followed the young lady and witnessed her repeatedly risking her own safety to destroy the monster. The head of the family tried to persuade her many times, but the young lady remained stubborn and refused to listen. From then on, whenever the young lady left the house, I would always stay by her side. At the same time, the last ninja would secretly follow her. It was only when the young lady confided in the old mistress just now that I realized that she wanted to protect everyone and didn't want to see anyone go."

"I never thought that the dignified daughter of the chariot magistrate, the Shirae Princess of Inazuma, could have such naive and childish thoughts. But it doesn't matter. I'm back. From now on, I will never let her suffer the slightest harm, nor will I let anyone important to her leave her."

Back at Kamisato's residence, Xinyang carefully carried Linghua back to her room and gently placed her on the bed. Then, he quietly sat beside the bed, gazing at the sleeping Linghua, his eyes filled with tenderness and care.

Every bit of the past flashed through his mind like a picture scroll. Xinyang couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Linghua's hair, feeling the softness and warmth.

"It must have been very hard during this period... You've lost so much weight." Xinyang whispered softly, his eyes revealing endless concern.

"Fool, why do you have to live so hard?"
