Qiqi was still chanting scriptures. Even though Gu Sanqiu had half a mind to jump up and tear Baizhu apart with his bare hands, he had no choice but to stay put and lie there obediently.
If he weren’t worried about the consequences, he’d have already taken on the role of a tyrannical local warlord, bringing a whole gang over to cause trouble—maybe even throwing paint around just to make a statement.
Damn Baizhu!

In the damp, narrow room, Nero stood face-to-face with Celestina, who had just revealed her true identity.
Nero didn’t immediately draw her weapon. It seemed she wanted to see what the self-proclaimed “dark priestess” had to say.
“I serve Regina, the Goddess of Puppets and Vengeance, and I am her one and only priestess. I am the sole person in this world blessed by the Goddess of Puppets,” Celestina began with pride in her voice.
“Because of this blessing, I can ...

“This… is the shortcut you mentioned?”
“Yes! That’s the one!”
Celestina nodded earnestly, her voice brimming with confidence.
But… Nero couldn’t help but feel something was off.
Before her stood a bright red button, with a scrap of paper stuck on it that read, “DO NOT PRESS.”
The suspicious aura practically overflowed from it.
“Hero! I would never deceive you, nor would I dare!” Celestina raised her hands in a gestur...

A dim chandelier hung above, its faint light the only source of illumination in the darkened hall.
Nero stood surrounded by a sea of monsters, her emerald eyes lifting to meet the woman who had spoken earlier.
The woman stood by the exit, her jet-black hair cut neatly to her shoulders, a tear-shaped beauty mark resting just beneath her left eye. She wore robes and a white cloak that exuded an air of religious solemnity, as though she were a priestess devoted to some divine figure....

Nero’s battle with the angelic officer ended swiftly.
Once Nero severed his connection to Hell’s magic, the officer surrendered without hesitation.
“You’re strong. Unbelievably strong. Monstrously strong… Especially that ability you just used, exuding such pure death. The only time I’ve encountered anything like it was in the presence of gods who govern death. If not for the lack of divine presence on you, I’d have thought you were the incarnation of some god of deat...

A force of overwhelming destruction.
An inferno as intense as the death of a star.
A pillar of black aurora swallowed the light, its searing heat roaring like a dragon unleashed.
The underling of the demon army had only just pushed open the castle gate when they saw something unimaginable—a breach in the city’s protective barrier that had stood unbroken for centuries.
Before they could even react, the roaring aurora descended.

On the fifth consecutive day of Jia Changjiang and Lumine’s alchemy obsession…
The two had thrown themselves into their respective projects with an intensity that caught the attention of all of Mondstadt.
Mornings were spent at the alchemy station crafting potions and embedding jewels. Afternoons were dedicated to studying mysticism and other subjects over tea with Lisa at the library. Evenings brought them back to their crafting, tirelessly honing their creations.

“Beads that enhance stamina… Hmm, I think so,” Jia Changjiang said, pausing to recall.
Although he wasn’t sure if these decorative beads would change upon materializing in this world, he figured their general properties should remain intact.
Thinking of Lumine’s request, several options popped into his mind immediately: Stamina Jewel, Martial Jewel, Endurance Jewel… a whole arsenal of possibilities.
He glanced at Lumine with suspicion. “You’re not planning to...

In the library of Mondstadt, Lisa glanced at an unexpected visitor, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. “Jax, I didn’t expect you to be interested in potion-making as well.”
Lisa had been prepared to teach Lumine about elements and alchemical magic, but to her surprise, Jia Changjiang had shown up too.
“I heard you’d be teaching Lumine some potion-making today, so I figured I’d tag along and learn a bit myself,” Jia Changjiang explained with a smile. “...

“At first, I thought the God of Salt must have been a bad person. I mean, why else would there be so many salt statues?”
Lumine muttered, her tone contemplative. “But when I learned more… it was obvious she wasn’t bad at all. She was a kind and gentle god, but her end was… tragic.”
“Her story serves as a warning to us,” Zhongli said softly, nodding as he spoke. “She was a product of her time, and her fate was, in some ways, inevitable.”
