Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

Qin clenched her fists tightly, and her breathing became difficult.

The sound of water in the bathroom gradually became quieter, and she knew Barbara was about to come out.

Qin immediately set the message to unread, restored the phone to its original state, and put it back on the bedside table.

After handling the crime scene, Barbara happened to walk out.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Barbara felt that Qin's breathing was a little rapid.

"...Something happened with the Knights, and I'm dealing with it." Jean took a deep breath and clicked on Kaia's contact information.

Jean: "What's going on with Barbara's boyfriend, Captain Kaia!!"

Volume 1: 131. Diekarapian: You are the new Tornado Devil

"Come on, come on! There's an old saying in Liyue: 'Drink while you can.' It's such a beautiful day, let's make the most of it!"

Inside the bar, a half-drunk Wendy climbed onto the bar, raised her glass high, and shouted to the patrons.

As for what specifically made today a good day, he couldn't say, but as long as he could drink, it was a good day.

Kaia, standing beside Wendy, gulped down the sparkling white wine at the wine-monger's beckoning. It was Mond's Special, supposed to be refreshing, but it tasted bitter and acrid.

What happened today? I always feel my right eyelid twitching?

Kaeya laughed at himself. After his trip to Liyue, he had almost learned all the folklore there.

But this is Mondstadt, a place blessed by the God of Wind. The saying that the left eye twitching means good fortune and the right eye twitching means disaster is simply not true!

Kaiya was about to call the bartender to ask if there was something wrong with today's wine, but he saw his cell phone screen light up, so he clicked it to take a look.

"So it's Captain Qin. What's the matter with you calling me so late at night? I heard there's some activity over in the snowy mountains, so maybe he wants me to go check it out... What's going on with Barbara's boyfriend... Damn, he's been discovered!"

Kaia was so quick-witted that he almost fell off the high stool.

"Kaia, you...what's wrong with you? Are you in some trouble...Tell me and I can help you solve it." Wendy's tongue was tied. The alcohol paralyzed his nerves and he could not speak clearly, but he was still thinking about his new drinking buddy.

There was no other reason. The cavalry captain was very generous and paid the bill for him. He was much more pleasing to the eye than the old woman who asked him to pay double.

"....Take your time drinking, I have something to do here." Kaiya took a deep breath and paid for tonight's drinks woodenly.

He didn't expect the drunkard beside him to be able to save him from the current predicament.

He failed to keep an eye on Captain Jean's sister, allowing the most beautiful flower in Mondstadt to be picked by a man from Liyue. If he wants to escape unscathed, he will probably have to ask Lord Wind God to intervene.

But the Wind God has disappeared for many years, he might as well find someone to take the blame and share the firepower!

Kaiya: "Captain Qin, please listen to my explanation!"

Qin: "You talk, I'm listening."

Leaving the tavern, a refreshing breeze greeted him. Kaeya shuddered as he read the calm words written by Captain Jean on the screen.

The person on the other side must be calmly thinking about where to bury his body after his death!

Kaeya: "Regarding Barbara's boyfriend, he and I are just acquaintances. Albedo knows him better than I do!"

Soon, Albedo, who was still studying alchemy in the laboratory, was pulled into a three-person interrogation group by Jean.

Qin: "What's that man's name?!"

Albedo: "What did Captain Jean say?"

Kaeya: "That good friend you met in Liyue!"

Albedo: "Oh, it's Li Qingping. Although we've only been together for two days, we hit it off right away. It's no exaggeration to say we're close friends. Why did Captain Qin suddenly ask this?"

Walking in the cold wind, Kaeya breathed a sigh of relief. He did feel guilty towards Albedo, but this matter was too big for him to handle alone.

Captain Albedo, thank you for saving my life!

Albedo: "Captain Jean probably wants to ask about the relationship between Li Qingping and Barbara. I really don't know, so why not ask Captain Kaeya? When I arrived in Mondstadt, Captain Kaeya was still keeping watch outside the dressing room for the two of them. But I think Li Qingping is a man worth trusting."

After sending the message, Albedo silently turned off his phone and asked his assistant to submit a written leave application for him tomorrow morning.

After arranging everything, he continued to concentrate on his experiments.

Albedo only looks simple, but he is not stupid as he can manage his interpersonal relationships in Mondstadt all by himself.

Captain Kaia, you're on your own.

Gunnhild House.

After the two sisters finished bathing, they leaned against the headboards on either side.

Barbara held her cell phone, grinning foolishly from time to time, then seemed to realize something, quickly covered her mouth, and secretly looked at her sister's reaction.

Seeing Qin clicking the screen expressionlessly, she breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little worried.

"Sister, has the Knights encountered any difficulties?"

Barbara thought in her heart that she had found a super capable boyfriend, who seemed to be able to solve any problem in the world. Maybe he could help her solve the current problem.

"No, you go to sleep first, I'll interrogate you... I'll be right there!"

His tone, which was supposed to soften, became stiff again when he caught a glimpse of his sister's upturned mouth corners out of the corner of his eye.

Barbara wouldn't have been hiding from her and laughing before, she must have been chatting with that guy!

The acting team leader is going crazy!

Jean: "Captain Kaia, that guy...what on earth did that liar do? Barbara was almost knocked unconscious!"

Kaeya was clearly standing, but he felt very uncomfortable. Albedo, who was brought in to share the firepower, sold him out and even added fuel to the fire before leaving.

How could he not know what kind of person Li Qingping is? Why does he need you, Albedo, to explain?

But now, no matter how talented Li Qingping is, he can't help him calm down the wrath of Captain Qin!

It's death anyway, Kaia decided.

Kaiya: "If I say that it was Barbara who took the initiative to pursue Li Qingping, would you believe it, Captain Qin?"

Qin: “???”

Of course Qin wouldn't believe it, because her sister had vowed to devote her whole life to the West Wind Church, and the most important thing involved was the devout priest Qi Li.

How could she take the initiative to chase after another man!

Qin: "Why don't you say it was an order from Lord Wind God?"

Kaiya: "Captain, that's a good point. During that time, Barbara kept saying that Li Qingping was Lord Fengshen. Maybe Lord Fengshen arranged this!"

Qin: “????”

Kaeya: "Albedo is right, Li Qingping is actually a very good person and worthy of trust! Captain Qin, I have something else to do here, so I won't disturb you anymore!"

When Qin dialed Kaia's number, she heard a familiar voice announcement.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off..."

You two!!

"Hehe..." Barbara's silly smile pulled Qin out of her anger.

She looked at her sister who was standing beside her as if she were alone with a complicated expression, feeling mixed emotions.

Is it really what Kaia said?

Is that guy Li Qingping really that reliable?

No...why does this name sound so familiar?

……

……

……

Li Qingping, a man worthy of entrusting his life to, and Barbara, who was far away in Mond, said good night to each other, closed their cell phones, and stared at the ceiling in the dark.

"Miss, you're pressing on my legs."

"Oh!" Keqing moved her pink and slender thighs, changed her posture, and rested her head on Li Qingping's hand again. "What did Grandpa say to you?"

"Pick an auspicious day and marry you to my family, so that you don't have to stay here and bother him."

"You're talking nonsense! How could I be annoyed?" Keqing knew that Li Qingping was just trying to fool her. She bit his collarbone in anger and said, "Tell me the truth or not!"

"Hiss! Master Qingtang, am I telling the truth? Or are you not planning to marry me? Then I'll have to find someone else."

“You!! Ugh…”

Keqing wanted to say something, but was silenced by Li Qingping.

Moonlight streamed into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, filtering through the gauze curtains and condensing into tiny specks of silver sand on Keqing's rosy cheeks. The belt of her silk nightgown hung loosely around her waist. Beads of sweat on her forehead slid down her collarbone into the trembling snow-white satin, shimmering like mother-of-pearl in the moonlight.

The two separated, Keqing was breathing heavily, her voice weak.

"...Junior, how long will it take you to graduate?"

"Less than two months."

"It'll take another two months..." Keqing was very dissatisfied with this answer. She turned over and put her mouth closer. "The password of that card is six zeros. I'll give you all the money in it. But I have to charge some interest first!"

Li Qingping felt that Keqing's mind was probably blinded by Segu Qian, and there was no way that the money she gave would earn any interest.

But he felt that he was no match for Keqing at the moment, so he could only succumb to the power of his senior sister... and had a satisfying kiss.

It was late at night, Keqing's hair was disheveled on her forehead, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Li Qingping was also able to enter the Abyss Spiral.

He was planning to try to catch some fish on the fourth floor, but was blasted out by Sedna again.

In desperation, he had to go to the fifth floor.

"You're late."

As soon as Li Qingping stepped onto the ice field, he saw Diekarapian coming towards him.

"Ahem, there was a small accident. You know, humans are very complicated creatures, and there are always some tricky problems that need to be dealt with." Li Qingping touched his lips and said seriously.

"That makes sense. It's hard to guess what mortals are thinking." Dikarapian agreed deeply and nodded repeatedly.

"Are you all ready? I'm in top form right now."

"Normally, something so good it explodes isn't a good thing, because the explosion will cause...Okay, I get it, you just used hyperbole."

"I've made rapid progress and now I know all the rhetorical techniques."

Decarapian ignored Li Qingping's compliment and asked, "The Mond friend you mentioned?"

"Barbara, what's wrong?" Li Qingping was a little curious as to why the King of the Tower suddenly mentioned the followers of his mortal enemy.

"You will have further development with her in the future, right? That is..." Dikarapian lowered his head, as if looking for a suitable word to describe it.

"marry?"

"Is marriage a relationship where you can have sex late at night?" Dikarapian's words were as explosive as ever.

Li Qingping was speechless for a moment, feeling very embarrassed: "...I guess so."

"You will get married, won't you?" Dicarapian demanded.

"meeting."

"Very good, then you are half Mond." Dikarapian nodded, his satisfaction overflowing beyond words. "Are you ready?"

Li Qingping said solemnly: "Let's begin."

As the words fell, the storm condensed into liquid emerald color at the fingertips of Decarapian. His pale fingers gently stroked Li Qingping's chest, and the entire sky was suddenly torn into spider-web-like cracks, allowing the sunlight hanging high in the sky to briefly enter this territory that belonged exclusively to the King of the Tower.

Three thousand tornadoes fell from the clouds at the same time, like giant pythons wrapped in thunder, crushing the surrounding snow-capped mountains into powder. The roar of the rock peeling off even drowned out the howling of the wind.

"Keep breathing."

The demon's voice penetrated the storm, and Li Qingping's alveoli were immediately ruptured by the wind blade. The King of the Tower even looked down on Li Qingping's magical organs that had already transformed.

He wants to completely transform Li Qingping into a walking devil on earth!

Severe pain rippled through his spine, and Li Qingping saw his ribs transforming into translucent crystals of wind element—each bone vibrating at a high frequency, emitting a shrill sound similar to the snapping of harp strings. Cyan blood vessels bulged beneath his skin like rivers of magma, and the veins carrying the liquid storm were reshaping his entire body's meridians.

Every inch of flesh and blood, every cell was baptized by the strong wind, and was instantly healed by the immeasurable elemental power, going back and forth countless times.

Li Qingping didn't make any sound the entire time, as if the pain was just a daily occurrence for him.
