Besides, judging from Ye Lan's expression just now, she seemed to be really thinking about this.

Seeing that Mu Qingge still had the mood to joke, Ye Lan felt even more at ease.

"Drink some water first, and eat something after you've calmed down..."

Chapter 105 Trapped in Danger

Ying and Yanfei helped Qingge sit down against the wall.

"Thank you, Ying, and Yanfei."

Xiao Paimeng squeezed in front of Qingge, hands on his hips.

"Thank you, Paimon."

"Hehe, that's pretty much it."

After looking at everyone, Mu Qingge fixed her gaze on Ichidou and Hisaki Shinobu.

“These two are…”

Paimon: "These two are friends of Inazuma. This big oaf is called Arataki Kazuto, and the one next to him is Kuki Shinobu. They were a great help in finding you this time."

Mu Qingge forced herself to stand up, and Ye Lan tried to stop her, but she waved her hand.

The weakness I showed earlier was just a brief delay, or a short period of adaptation, after my consciousness left and returned.

"Thank you both for your help. In the future, if you need any assistance within Liyue, please don't hesitate to ask."

Fearing that Yidou and the others might not understand the significance of Qingge's words, Yanfei explained:

"This is a promise from the Grand Commander of the Thousand Rocks Army, one of the Seven Stars, Kaiyang. It can resolve almost all your troubles in Liyue..."

In this situation, it was Hisaki Shinobu who stepped forward: "It's alright. When you're traveling, it's only right to help each other out."

After chatting with everyone for a while, Mu Qingge took the food from Ye Lan and began to eat slowly.

Even if you're not hungry, your body is still losing energy, so these replenishments are necessary.

Seeing that Qingge's condition had improved, Yelan asked her the question that had been lingering in her mind:

Why are you here? What happened after we parted ways that day?

The place the two were exploring was far from here, and even if an emergency occurred, they shouldn't have come this far.

As soon as Ye Lan said this, everyone looked at Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge instinctively looked around. Jiuqi Ren was about to leave with the boss, but Yidou didn't seem to understand what Ren meant.

"What's wrong, Ren? Don't you want to know?"

Hisaki Shinobu: "..."

At this moment, Qingge spoke up: "You two, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. This isn't a secret, there's no need to deliberately avoid it."

At this point, Yidou understood, but since everyone said it was nothing, he simply sat down and waited to hear the news.

Seeing this, Hisagi Shinobu stood still.

"Not long after we parted ways, I ran into that guy from the Abyss..."

Mu Qingge began to recount her experiences during that period: including the battle with Mali, Mali's elusive stealth skills, and finally, being careless and falling into a trap.

Ye Lan's face grew even colder: "It really was that guy!"

Ying and Paimon remained silent, while little Paimon was unusually quiet, unconsciously clenching his little fists.

Yi Dou remained the same, unaware that something was amiss in the atmosphere.

"Who's that guy? Is he really that good?"

Inazuma had just lifted the country's isolation, and only Hisaki Shinobu knew some of what had happened in Mondstadt, though she wasn't entirely clear on the details.

Yan Fei explained to the two of them:

"That guy is a monster from the abyss. He previously caused a riot in Mondstadt, resurrected a former demonic dragon, and attracted a large number of abyssal monsters to attack Mondstadt. He even escaped when the wind god appeared. Now he is the number one wanted criminal on the Mondstadt and Liyue lists. As long as you capture him, you can get a lot of rewards in both countries, and his life is not at stake!"

Yan Fei is a legal expert, so she is quite clear about these things.

"But don't think that guy is easy to deal with just because the reward is high. He is powerful, elusive, and extremely dangerous!"

hiss~

Yi Dou gasped for breath.

"Then this Qingge must be very strong to have been able to fight it for so long!"

Hisaki Shinobu: "Boss, why are you asking this?"

Hisaki Shinobu couldn't understand his boss's thought process.

Qingge: "If it weren't for the Mysterious Shield bestowed upon me by the Emperor, I'm afraid I would already be..."

Yi Dou: "But isn't the Rock King Emperor..."

Hisaki Shinobu covered Ichito's mouth and dragged him away: "Sorry, the boss and I have something we need to talk about alone."

"Ugh, Ren, let go!"

Qingge gently patted Ying's shoulder: "That guy can't escape. Let's avenge Ruola together."

Ying raised her head, looked firmly at Qingge, and then nodded vigorously.

When Hisaki Shinobu and Araki Ichito returned, Ichito covered his ears, his face full of resentment.

After chatting for a while, the group finally came up with the idea of ​​going back.

Returning to the spot where the others had jumped down, and looking up, Yan Fei sighed:

"We were too far from the cave entrance. It took us a long time just to jump down, and we couldn't see what was happening up there at all."

Ye Lan looked around and added, "It seems there's no way to go up directly from this distance; we'll have to find another way."

Looking at the group, Ye Lan was about to say something when Qing Ge shook her head and then said nothing more.

Qingge: "Everyone, please split up and search first. I have already searched the entire space I am in, but there may be some omissions."

Ye Lan: "One tip: look for the weak points in these stone walls; you might find another way out."

The group dispersed to search for an exit, with Ye Lan and Qing Ge together.

After the two reached the corner, Ye Lan asked:

"You seem to trust them a lot."

You mean…

"Those two rice-plant women."

Qingge remained silent, then nodded.

"why?"

"intuition."

"As one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, you actually believe in this kind of thing?"

"My intuition has always been accurate and has never been wrong."

"All right…"

After searching around, the group couldn't find an exit in the space where Qingge was, but they did find an entrance to a secret realm where Ying and the others had fallen.

They went in together, walked through the maze, and came out of the exit, only to find to their surprise that they had returned to the same place!

That is the place where the group jumped down. However, the large hole that should have been above their heads has disappeared, replaced by a solid wall.

Yi Dou released Ah Chou again, letting it find the exit.

Because of Ah Chou's excellent performance in the past, everyone has high expectations for it.

Can…

After searching around, Ah Chou still couldn't find any exit.

Yan Fei: "How could this be?"

Hisaki Shinobu: "It seems that these underground structures are not as simple as we thought."

Paimon kept looking up, his voice trembling slightly: "There are rock walls all around here. Could it be... could it be that we remembered wrong, and that we didn't actually fall from here?"

Ichidou: "Hey, are you scared?"

Paimon: "I...I'm not that cowardly!"

moo~

Yi Dou: "A Chou also thinks you're scared. It's okay, just say it if you're scared, and we'll protect you."

Ying walked over to Paimon and comforted him, "Paimon, I'm here for you."

Qingge felt terrible: "I'm sorry, everyone. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had to get into such a dangerous situation."

"What are you talking about? I'm going to save people, even if it means going through fire and water."

Ye Lan: "Don't blame yourself. Let's look around for an exit."

Chapter 106 Living Up to the Emperor's Trust

Qingge and Yelan continued to search their surroundings, while Ying, Paimeng, and Yidou were together, and Jiuqiren and Yanfei were together.

After some time, the crowd gathered together.

Ye Lan: "We can't find anything here, what about you?"

Yi Dou: "This place is really strange. I can't find anything unusual about it."

Yan Fei: "Sorry, we didn't find anything either."

Everyone fell silent.

Yelan: "I regret to inform you that we may have to stay here for a long time until we find a way out."

"Qingge, you should rest well. You don't need to come with me."

After saying that, Ye Lan left on her own to continue searching for clues in other places.

Mu Qingge found a place and sat down.

Hisaki Shinobu gathered a bunch of branches, lit a fire in a corner, and took out several violet melons that he was carrying.

Ying approached: "Ren, are you roasting violets?"

"Hmm, the violet melon is delicious. You should try it too. Although it's not as good as my little sister's cooking, it's still pretty good."

Paimon also came over, and seeing that it was food, she immediately said to Ying:

"Ying, the delicious food we brought for Qingge, let's bake it now, it'll taste better when it's hot!"

Ying took out a meat pie, which was indeed a bit cold.

Ying used a twig to heat the meat patties by the fire, while Paimon waved his little hand and shouted to Mu Qingge:

"Qingge, come quick, over here!"

Qingge opened her eyes and went to the fire.

Paimon excitedly pointed to the meat pie she had been eyeing for a long time: "Look, this is a delicious treat that Ying and I brought for you from Inazuma. It's incredibly tasty!"

Ying: "Yes, if I hadn't been watching, that little guy would have secretly eaten it long ago, and it wouldn't have survived until now."

Paimon was embarrassed.

"How can there be..."

After saying that, Paimon glared angrily at Ying.

Ying laughed. It's quite nice to tease Paimon when you're bored to ease the atmosphere.

Ichidou also looked at the pancake. It wasn't that he was greedy, but Xiaoyun had prepared a lot of these pancakes for him and Aren when they came.

Although they were all the same kind of pancake, he ate them for several days without getting tired of them.

However, they had already finished their portion while on the ship.
