The mist’s effect worked only on Xianzhou natives imbued with the Abundance’s power. For outsiders, it posed no threat whatsoever. Its primary function seemed to be the preemptive stimulation of the Abundance energy within the Xianzhou people, accelerating their descent into marastruck.
The Alchemy Commission, which had reached its peak during the age of the Abundance, remained the largest and most labyrinthine of the Six Commissions, even after Xianzhou aligned itself with...

Phantylia's scheming was impeccable. Her performance was measured to perfection—touch and withdraw, split and retreat—ensuring Chen Lin never thought too deeply about her true motives.

Gu Sanqiu walked to a secluded corner, tilted his head back, and gazed at the sky. It wasn’t that he felt an inexplicable sense of loneliness—it was more that he’d suddenly remembered what he needed to do next.
“Well, isn’t it obvious?” he muttered to himself. “It’s time to visit you, Second-Generation Wallet.”
Taking out his coin pouch, he smirked. “As a friend, how could you come back from Mondstadt without telling me? At the very least, you should let m...

“I get it, I get it. I promise to read it discreetly and not share it with anyone.”
Buyu Raimei thumped his chest in assurance. “Believe me, back when I was a wandering ronin, I wasn’t just idling around. I’ve got plenty of experience with keeping things under wraps.”
“That’s what I like to hear.”
Xingqiu nodded in satisfaction. “It’s all yours, then. If you come across anything that feels a bit off in the story, mark it for me. I’ll see if there’s ...

“True, true! Kazuha always hypes me up so much, only to turn around and claim it was just a joke. All with a straight face, too!”
Xingqiu sighed. “Sanqiu tries way too hard to seem depend...

Gu Sanqiu tidied himself up briefly, then decided to grab a couple of apples to stave off his hunger.
“Hmm? Is it just me, or are there fewer apples now?”
His expression froze for a moment, as if he’d realized something.
No, they’re not missing. Definitely not.
With a long sigh, Gu Sanqiu turned back into his room and flopped onto the bed, resuming his nap.
House arrest? He smirked inwardly. If I sleep long enough, ten days will...

Late at night, Liyue Harbor had finally settled into silence. Gamblers who had lost all evening were now searching for barrels to hide their shame, while young men seeking romantic escapades either succeeded and made arrangements or quietly returned home, dejected.
In short, the stillness of the night brought a rare sense of peace and serenity.

After a full night’s rest, the group set out for the Elroad royal castle early the next morning to attend the diplomatic meeting.
“Princess Alice, are you ready? Did you brush your teeth and wash your face properly? Is your dress in order? Nothing wrinkled, right? Are you okay without your maids? Oh no! There’s a crease here—let me smooth it out for you!”

In response, Nero decisively shook her head.

The sky was dim, heavy with the fading light of dusk.
A few stars flickered faintly above, but the poetic image of “crows flying south under a moonlit sky” wasn’t quite fitting for this world—especially since there didn’t seem to be any crows here.
Traveling through the night was too dangerous, so as evening approached, Nero and her companions decided to set up camp nearby.

The journey to the Kingdom of Elroad felt incredibly leisurely to Nero.
Indeed, it was reminiscent of those nostalgic spring field trips from childhood. An entire class packed into a bus, eagerly anticipating their destination while groups of kids gathered to play games or cards along the way.

Kazuma glanced uneasily at the scenery whipping past the window. “Isn’t this too fast? I feel like even the tiniest accident w...

He cupped the green leaf in his hands, his expression full of awe.
A warm energy flowed steadily into his body, washing away his exhaustion in an instant.
Such pure, potent vitality…

An instinct told him this leaf was like a seed, carrying the power and wisdom of the white-robed woman.
If he could find the right way to nurture it, this “seed” ...

On the other end of the communication device, the soft voice sounded sincere, almost reverent.

If anything, she seemed a bit too happy.
Why is she answering this call?

After the strange power spread out, the resentment of the Archon completely dissipated.
Finally, the melody came to an end.

Lunch had been a nerve-wracking experience for Eula.
Throughout the meal, her thoughts kept circling back to what Theresa had said earlier. Her mind swirled with anxiety and doubt, and every now and then, she found herself sneaking glances at Luo Qing.
He was seated at the head of the table, surrounded by his wives. He didn’t even have to lift a finger—plates of perfectly cut food appeared in front of him as if by magic, lovingly prepared and served by the women around him.

“This is…”
Eula’s eyes widened as she scanned the dining room.
There were so many unfamiliar faces: a woman who looked remarkably similar to Makoto, but with small horns atop her head; a gentle-looking white-haired lady; and… a child?
Wait, a child? Could that be Luo Qing’s kid?
Surrounded by so many strangers, Eula froze in place, unsure of what to do.
“You’re just in time, Miss Eula!”
Makoto approached her warmly, placing both h...

After finishing her evening routine, Eula followed Makoto through the mansion’s long, winding corridors.
As they walked, she couldn’t help but notice the intricate details of the place. The doors on the left-hand side were particularly striking, each adorned with unique nameplates. One was shaped like two small sky-blue horns, another like a crane, and one even featured a deep purple dagger.
Do these doors belong to the women living here?

In the next instant, several massive, razor-sharp stone pillars descended from the sky, pinning every single beast-realm wolf to the ground.

When she turned around, she saw Luo Qing standing behind her, flanked by two identical, breathtakingly beautiful girls.

In the dim moonlight, Furina briefly met his eyes before nervously averting her gaze. Her hands fidgeted behind her back, and her posture radiated embarrassment—far more tha...

Sitting across from her, he wasn’t sure what to say.
As the saying goes, you can’t scold someone who’s offering a sincere apology. If Eula had been her usual haughty self, Luo Qing could have teased her without a second thought.
But now, after more than a year, this proud girl had taken the initiative to apologize. It caught him completely off guard.

“It might hurt a little in a moment, Fu Fu. Bear with it.”

Furina couldn’t help but lean forward, curiosity gleaming in her eyes. “Just how much is ‘a little’ pain?”
Luo Qing thought for a moment before replying, “Probably about the same as that night.”
