Mr. Zhongli, we can't slack off anymore!

Bishuiyuan.

This is the second time the traveler has come here. The first time was three months ago, when he first came here.

The way back should also be here.

Zhongli had prepared everything for the traveler.

From the moment she first met her until she left, the traveler knew she was favored by God and should not ask for anything more.

Near the teleportation anchor point, a stone platform was erected, with incantations that travelers could not understand on its surface.

A thin golden thread connects to the sky, like the string of a kite lost in the air.

Seeing her hesitate, Xiao was also conflicted, but finally made up his mind and said, "Please stand on the stone platform. I will use my magic to send you home."

The traveler took a deep breath, reluctant to look around. She wanted to remember the sky, the mountains, the river, and the flowers and plants.

There was one more thing left unfinished: before leaving this world, the traveler wanted to see Zhongli one last time.

She was too embarrassed to make things difficult for Xiao; last time, she had almost made True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang cry.

As she hesitated, the small flowers swaying on the cliff gave her courage.

"Immortal Xiao." The traveler lowered his posture; when asking for help, one should have the proper attitude.

"No need for honorifics, just speak frankly." Xiao didn't want to get involved in their affairs, nor did he want anything to go wrong with the Emperor's orders.

The traveler plucked the tranquility from the cliff edge and returned to Xiao: "My visit has caused you so much trouble, I have no way to repay you. Especially Mr. Zhongli..."

"Now I'm leaving. We've known each other for a few months and he's taken care of me, but I haven't had a chance to properly thank him. I don't want to make things difficult for you, so I just want to ask you to give me some words of farewell."

"I have some Mora left, which I've placed on the table in the room. My world doesn't need it, so I'll leave it for Mr. Zhongli to use in the future."

"Also, Liyue is beautiful, the people of Liyue are very kind, and the food in Liyue is delicious. The night market in Liyue is very lively, with fun things to do and delicious food to eat."

"The expensive tea for entertaining guests was very fragrant. Eating hot pot outdoors was also very enjoyable. Thanks to him living next door, I was able to sleep peacefully."

"The rock god here must have suffered a lot for today's prosperity. I, a mere mortal, cannot imagine how many lonely days and nights he endured. He is truly remarkable. It is a blessing to be his subject."

"This trip was wonderful. It's a pity I haven't been to the Lantern Festival yet, it's a pity the barbecue grill is ready but I haven't used it yet, and it's a pity there are still many famous places in Liyue that I haven't visited."

"The most regrettable thing is that I couldn't tell him these words in person."

“I’m leaving now. I will no longer disturb his leisurely time in the mortal world. He can return to Liyue Harbor and enjoy its current prosperity with his beloved people.”

"I have nothing valuable or special on me, so I will give him this pure heart. May we both find what we desire in our own worlds."

The traveler handed the flower to Xiao.

Xiao looked at the flower but didn't take it.

Did he not want to help because that person instructed him to?

“I shouldn’t have troubled you. You don’t need to take my words to heart. Flowers grow from dust, so let them return to dust.” Seeing that he was unwilling to help, the traveler tossed the flower into the air.

"Wait!" Xiao controlled the wind element light particles to catch the flower and return it to the traveler.

He secretly broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that something was amiss.

If we could meet again in the future, that would be fine. But judging from the Emperor's words, we may never meet again. If the regret at that time stems from my own mishandling of the situation, I will find it difficult to repay the Emperor's kindness...

"Xiao?" The traveler didn't understand what he meant.

Xiao looked back at the mountains shrouded in mist in the distance, sighed, and looked at the traveler: "The one you miss may never have left."

"What do you mean?" The traveler immediately understood what Xiao meant. He had never left him and had always been by his side, so every time he encountered difficulties, Xiao would send someone to rescue him in time.

I only just realized it.

The traveler shouted in the direction Xiao had just been looking.

"Mr. Zhongli! Mr. Zhongli! Zhongli!"

Bitterness and sorrow suddenly welled up in my heart; they had been waiting for the right opportunity to break free from the shackles of reason.

How could I not like him?

I love everything about him!

However, acknowledging certain feelings can be painful.

If you say certain things, you will lose something.

Separated by screens, we dared not harbor any extra feelings; now that we meet, we suppress our emotions.

Now, whatever I may lose, this is the last time.

Since you're going to lose it no matter what you do, you might as well be brave for once.

"Zhongli! Zhongli. Zhongli..."

Her voice became hoarse, and gradually turned into a sobbing tone.

The grassland shows no mercy to tears, swallowing them whole into the depths of the soil.

“Zhongli…Zhongli…”

The taste of blood spread in my mouth...

A body of flesh and blood is incredibly fragile, unable to withstand even a few calls, so how could it possibly shake a heart of rock?

“Zhongli…”

"..."

The familiar figure did not appear, and my expectations were dashed.

I've said it before: if you don't admit it, you won't suffer.

I am merely a traveler from another world.

Then let's just forget about it...

They left decisively, and it wasn't too bad.

"Traveler girl." Xiao wanted to comfort her, but didn't know what to say.

He opened his mouth, but in the end, he kept silent.

"Let's go." The traveler wiped away his tears and walked on with his head down.

She gave up, but she tried her best and left without regrets, which is not bad.

It's just a game.

Anyway, she might like other characters in the future. She healed her own heart. There was also a moment when she thought it would be better if she had never met him.

Bad news: It's a bit embarrassing. Good news: This isn't her world.

The traveler stepped onto the stone platform, turned his back to the demon, and hid his utterly disfigured face: "Perform the spell."

“Mm,” Xiao replied.

He felt very guilty at this moment. If he had known it would turn out this way, he would have been better off not getting involved.

The wind element light particles are light green and cover the entire stone platform.

A wind slowly formed, ruffling the traveler's hair that he had just styled.

She looked up at the starry night sky.

It was the dead of night, and there was no one in Biyue Plain. All that was left for him was Xiao and the starry sky.

After crying once, I calmed down and didn't feel sad anymore. I quietly appreciated the beautiful Milky Way.

The stone platform shook, and the ceremony began.

The surrounding light particles subtly changed from light green to gold...

"Traveler." The voice I'd been longing for came from behind me.

"Ha..." The traveler dared not turn around, afraid that his delusions would be dashed once again.

Perhaps she was hallucinating from excessive grief?

It's an auditory hallucination.

I called him so many times and he didn't show up. How could he only show up now?

Perhaps the demon saw that I was pitiful and cast some kind of spell.

It's impossible for any miracle to happen and soften that indestructible rock core.

"I'll take you." Yes, it was Zhong Li's voice.
