Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [457]

“The Tsaritsa herself, huh? My, what an honor.”

Gu Sanqiu dismissed the shield he had summoned. It had served its purpose as a symbolic prop, but if things came to a true battle, it wouldn’t stand a chance against a powerful ranged attack.

“That said, you’re not really my main target.”

His tone turned lighthearted, almost amused. “I must say, I’m impressed. Snezhnaya’s technology has reached this level, huh? All I wanted was to lure out that unruly elder of...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [456]

Tsk, this guy is clearly determined not to let anyone dig up his embarrassing moments.

Gu Sanqiu shrugged. “Well, I’ll take my leave then. Since you all enjoy sneaking out late at night for a little... fun, I won’t disturb you.”

With that, he rose and flew away from Windrise. Rosalyne tucked the Gnosis away and left first, while Childe remained behind, keeping a wary eye on Venti as he slowly backed away.

Whether the Gnosis was real or not, judging from that...

“You idiot…”

Makoto heaved a sigh of relief as Luo Qing’s eyes fluttered open.

Her initial relief quickly gave way to irritation as she glared at him. Pulling her hand free from his grasp, she gestured toward the battle raging in the skies above the Opera Epiclese.

“These matters can wait. Right now, there’s something far more important for you to deal with.”

“Something more important?”

Following her gaze, Luo Qing turned his attention skyward.<...

Under the watchful eyes of Lumine and Paimon, Makoto approached Luo Qing, gently pulling him out of Furina’s grasp and cradling him in her arms.

Without hesitation, she tilted his head back, pried open his mouth, and unceremoniously shoved the fist-sized clay sphere into it.

“W-what…” Lumine swallowed nervously.

Makoto’s method of reviving Luo Qing seemed… less than delicate, and her irritation was unmistakable.

“Makoto…” Ei’s gaze rested on Luo Qin...

“You…”

Focalors’ pupils dilated as she stared at the man who had shielded her from the fatal blow.

He doesn’t even remember me… so why would he risk his life for me?

“Luo Qing…”

Memories long buried began to surface in her mind.

She recalled their first meeting, back in an era that felt like another lifetime.

“Why…?”

For the first time since their reunion, Focalors’ composure cracked. Tears welled in her eyes, glimme...

This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [447]

Inside the Opera Epiclese, the once magnificent stage lay in ruins. Only the Oratrice Mecanique d’Analyse Cardinale remained intact amid the destruction.

Luo Qing and Neuvillette continued their intense battle, their movements a blur. Despite the ferocity of their clash, an unspoken agreement kept their attacks from harming the kneeling citizens below.

Lumine, watching from the sidelines, felt utterly helpless. The two combatants moved so fast that she couldn’t intervene, let ...

The icy indifference of the crowd pierced Furina’s heart like a blade.

No matter how fervently she claimed to be the Hydro Archon, no one believed her anymore.

This realization felt like the shattering of something deep within her soul. Her face grew numb, her body trembling uncontrollably as she staggered backward, collapsing into the defendant’s chair.

At the judge’s podium, Neuvillette hesitated.

Seeing Furina in such a state stirred a flicker of guilt in his ...

This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [445]

With Neuvillette’s declaration, the atmosphere in the Opera Epiclese ignited in an instant.

The audience erupted in excitement, eager to witness the unprecedented trial.

Following standard courtroom procedures, Furina and Lumine took their respective places at opposing benches.

“Well then…”

Once both sides were ready, Neuvillette spoke in his calm, authoritative voice.

“Lady Furina, do you contest these charges?”

“Hah, of course I do!”

This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [444]

The group stared at the empty space where Luo Qing had been, exchanging uncertain glances.

They had planned to stall him, even for a short while, but his overwhelming strength shattered their blockade in an instant.

For a moment, none of them moved, unsure whether to chase after him.

Meanwhile, Luo Qing raced back toward Furina’s location after breaking free from Lumine and the others.

However, when he arrived, Furina was nowhere to be found.

With a f...

This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [443]

Following the voice, Luo Qing turned to see Lumine and Paimon approaching from the shadows. It seemed they had been expecting him here.

“Lumine…” Luo Qing said, a hint of confusion in his voice. “What are you two doing here?”

“It’s… about something very important.”

Lumine glanced at Furina, who was visibly downcast, and then back at Luo Qing, her tone calm but firm.

“I need to talk to you alone.”

“Something important?” Luo Qing frowned, ...

This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [442]

“...”

Luo Qing stood frozen, staring in the direction Furina had run. He took a sharp breath and glanced at Neuvillette, still seated in the judge’s position.

Damn it.

He had spent days carefully coaxing Furina back to a better mood, ensuring she no longer hid under the covers at night, quietly shedding tears. And now, this guy had to pull something like this?

Meanwhile, chaos erupted inside the Opera House.

For the first time, the audience had wit...

This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [441]

A few days later...

Since that heartfelt conversation in Whitespruce Town, Luo Qing noticed something unusual: Furina’s affection for him seemed to have skyrocketed, to a rather absurd degree.

Where he once had to chase after her everywhere, now this girl wouldn’t leave his side. Other than when she bathed or used the restroom, she insisted on bringing him along at all times.

She even started clinging to him at night, holding onto him while they slept.

Even when Lu...

"…Princess Alice, you seem to be in a rather good mood."

"Of course! After all, I get to see Nero-nee and Yunyun again. And Kazuma Sato and Aqua are so amusing. It’s surprising to see someone as composed and reliable as Lalatina looking so flustered in front of everyone."

"Indeed. Who would’ve thought that Sir Dustiness would show such a girlish side? It seems she’s found herself quite an interesting party."

The act was going well—perhaps a little too ...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [314]

"Hey, Alice..."

"‘Alice’" raised her head to look at "‘Nero’"... Though, phrasing it that way felt oddly confusing.

"Who was the noble who gave you this necklace?"

From what Nero could vaguely recall, the noble who handed this artifact to the royal family likely had sinister intentions—planning to swap bodies with the prince, become one of the most powerful figures in the kingdom, and regain their youth in the process.

"Eh? Why are you asking, Nero-nee?"

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [313]

"Hey, Alice, that necklace around your neck... what exactly is it?"

Nero knew it wasn’t polite to interrupt someone, but she couldn’t help herself. Alice’s necklace was clearly no ordinary trinket.

She could feel a strong magical power emanating from it. This wasn’t just a magic item—it was something much more.

The aura reminded Nero of the cursed sword Gram, the magical weapon wielded by Yujin Hyōya.

"This? It’s a necklace that was presented to my brother...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [312]

Knock, knock, knock!

A gentle knocking came from the door before it creaked open slightly. Alice shyly poked her head through the gap.

"Nero-nee… may I come in?"

"Of course."

With Nero’s permission, Alice happily stepped inside and immediately threw her arms around Nero.

Alice’s longing for Nero hadn’t faded during their time apart. Instead, it had grown stronger, like a fine wine becoming richer with time.

"Hehe… it smells like Nero-nee,...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [311]

"Hmph~ Hmph~ Hmph! Standing before you is none other than the princess of this nation and my adventure companion—Belzerg Stylishew Sord Alice!"

Under the gazes of Kazuma and the others, Nero proudly revealed Alice's true name.

Realizing the situation, Kazuma scratched his head and said, "So, Iris is just a fake name Alice uses during her adventures?"

"Who gave you permission to address Princess Alice by her name directly?! At least add 'Your Highness,' or better yet, just ...

“No problem,” Chef Mao replied with a knowing smile. “But since these are special custom dishes, they’ll cost more than the usual fare.”

“That’s fine. Lumine, your turn!”

Jax stepped aside, gesturing dramatically to Lumine and Paimon.

Paimon laughed nervously, rubbing the back of her head. “Well, about that... maybe we can discuss the price a little?”

After some spirited negotiation—and thanks to Xiangling’s good name—Chef Mao relented and off...

“Alright, you’ve made a promise. Plus, Teucer seems to like you two,” Childe said with a grin as he looked at Lumine and Paimon.

“Is this some kind of brotherly charm attack...” Lumine muttered, glancing between Childe and Teucer. “Fine, for Teucer’s sake, I’ll let this slide.”

“I’m not great with kids,” Jax admitted. “And honestly, I’m barely in my twenties, but he keeps calling me ‘uncle.’”

“But my big sister Tonya said if someone has a ...

Despite Jax’s best efforts to share his love for massive weapons with Teucer along the way, the boy refused to budge. For him, One-Eyed Little Treasure was unbeatable.

Jax was so irritated that he nearly turned back to personally dismantle a Ruin Guard—no, a One-Eyed Little Treasure—just to prove what “strong” really meant.

However, after a moment of thought, he decided not to crush Teucer’s dreams. Instead, he quietly stowed his weapons as they returned to Li...

“Do we know it?” Lumine responded to the child’s question with a casual tone. “Of course! A fully intact core from one of these can sell for tens of thousands of Mora to the right buyer.”

“Though it’s rare to come across one—and they’re pretty tough to beat...”

The boy’s eyes lit up in excitement. “Big sis, you know the price of a One-Eyed Little Treasure? And you sound so familiar with it! Do you like One-Eyed Little Treasure too?”

“One-Eyed Litt...

“That’s a Ruin Guard’s footprint, right? It’s huge.” Paimon muttered while flying alongside the tracks left by the Ruin Guard.

“Mr. Jax, Traveler, why do you think a Ruin Guard is wandering around here all of a sudden?”

“No idea, but once we handle this, we’ll have a reason to go to Ningguang or Keqing and request a bonus!” Lumine followed the tracks with an enthusiastic grin. “Plus, Ruin Guard cores are worth a lot... though, yeah, they’re tough to deal wi...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [330]

Looking at the battered and unsteady Groudon, Steven should have felt relieved. After all, if Groudon was dealt with, only Kyogre remained, and Hoenn’s crisis would be resolved.

But the overwhelming power the Tech Hunter displayed during his battle with Groudon and Kyogre left Steven unable to celebrate.

Groudon and Kyogre may have caused untold damage to Hoenn, but their destruction was unintentional, born of their very nature.

The Tech Hunter, on the other hand, was a de...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [329]

The battle was far from over.

For Groudon and Kyogre, legendary Pokémon who had fought since ancient times and survived countless clashes, their defining trait wasn’t skill—it was sheer endurance.

While Groudon was still standing strong, even Kyogre, after taking the super-effective Thunder, managed to shake off the attack and rise again, albeit unsteadily.

Kyogre wobbled for a moment, then refocused its gaze on the battlefield.

On the other side, Groudon...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [328]

Steven led the Hoenn League trainers in an effort to contain the aftermath of Groudon and Kyogre’s attacks.

Meanwhile, Luo Yuan stood atop Rayquaza, looking down at Groudon and Kyogre, who glared up at the Sky Dragon Pokémon with open hostility.

“Seems they aren’t too impressed by you,” Luo Yuan commented, using telepathy to speak to Rayquaza.

A wave of indignation emanated from Rayquaza’s consciousness, and Luo Yuan could almost sense its embarrassm...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [327]

“What is that?!”

“It looks like… Rayquaza!”

“There’s someone standing on it!”

The massive head of Rayquaza emerged from the clouds, descending onto the battlefield. The Hoenn League trainers, who had been closely watching Groudon and Kyogre’s clash, immediately noticed its appearance.

Steven, still deliberating over their next move, heard the commotion and instinctively looked upward.

What he saw stunned him: Luo Yuan, standing atop Rayquaza’s...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [326]

"Cold, cold raindrops, slapping recklessly on my face~..."

Luo Yuan’s singing suddenly echoed in Matori’s mind, nearly causing her disguise as "Luo Yuan" to falter.

"...…"

Watching the clash of the two legendary Pokémon had everyone, including her, on edge. Yet Luo Yuan still had the nerve to sing. Matori didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Still, his humor eased some of her tension.

“How’s it going on your end?” Luo Yuan as...

Chen Lin had been contemplating how to involve Fu Xuan in their plans when her abrupt statement left him utterly perplexed.

He had no time to dwell on it, though. The priority was to calm Fu Xuan’s emotions—after all, her role was pivotal to the plan, and her contributions couldn't be underestimated.

“…Big Sis, what do you mean by that? You’ve wronged me, truly!”
“You and the General have discussed this extensively, yet this seat knew nothing of it until now. Are ...

The revival of the Ambrosial Arbor tree brought immense changes, leaving the people of the Xianzhou in a state of panic. Only those well-versed in ancient texts and possessing exceptional intelligence could grasp the implications.

Fu Xuan, having studied ancient books extensively from a young age and with the backing of the influential Fu family, held resources far beyond the reach of ordinary individuals.

Just as during the Xianzhou's interstellar voyages, when commoners believed...

A flurry of thoughts raced through Chen Lin’s mind as his gaze shifted toward Kafka, who had somehow freed herself from her restraints. Stelle had already leaped forward to try and stop her, but the sudden hum of a sword being drawn cut through the tension.

A blade gleamed, its edge barring Stelle’s path.

Standing in her way was a man with a stern face, bandages wrapped around his wrists, and a single lock of long hair tied behind him.

Even from a distance, Chen Lin coul...
