TW⚠️ THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS BLOOD AND VIOLENCE ⚠️

(Y/N)s' POV

I walk out of the teahouse and closed the door behind me.
'So there are other adeptus..' I thought to myself and smiled. I started to follow the trails to Wangshu Inn, my steps touching the dirt floor making a slight sound while the breeze goes through my hair, it was sunny so I sweated a little nothing an immortal couldn't handle of course..

'How fascinating.. Time flies by.. I still can't believe things have changed over the millennias' I kept following the trails, eventually finding a hillichurl camp.
"Hmm well it isn't bad to warm up a bit now is it?" I summon my weapon and ran towards the camp.

-------------------

I jumped and landed on a hilichurl knocking it out almost immediately until I heard a roar behind me, there I see a huge Mitachurl charging at me with its huge Axe.

'Shit okay a Mitachurl nothing I can't handle.'

I sweat a bit kicking the hilichurl away and charged back at the huge enemy, sliding down under it and doing a hit behind it's back with my weapon, I jumped and landed on its back, the Mitachurl was squirming all over screaming in pain due to the wound on its back. A smirk forms on my lips while I did a hit on its face causing blood to get on my hands. I jump and rolled to the ground causing me to get bruises. Sadly the huge thing didn't give up yet, it swinged it's Axe towards my face at the ground and thank the archons I moved away quickly. I wasn't gonna die like that not even a chance.

"You little shit!"

I charged towards the Mitachurl using my elemental burst, sparks of violet electricity went everywhere I landed on the ground and looked back I saw the Mitachurl falling onto the hard dirt floor and dying almost instantly, black smoke spreading around it's whole body and eventually dissolving into nothingness.

"Ugh now I have blood all over my hands and bruises..?" I sighed before walking to a lake near me.

I sat down and started to clean myself and my weapon that was covered in red liquid.
Once I was done I noticed the sun was setting, I looked around trying to find a building where I could stay in.
Eventually I saw a huge building

"..That must be Wangshu Inn Zhongli was talking about."

I started to walk towards the building rather quickly, I wouldn't want to stumble across another hilichurl camp again, it already drained so much energy out of me with that huge Mitachurl.

3rd Person POV

(Y/N) walked in the Inn, looking almost all beat up from the fight.
"Oh my Archons!" Verr Goldet panicking quickly checking up on (Y/N) "Are you okay?! You have bruises all over your face and arms do you need it to be taken care of?" Verr Goldet asked grabbing a first aid kit before (Y/N) could answer.
"A-ah ma'am I'm fine it's only a scratch, besides I was busy eliminating a huge mitachurl camp heh." They said trying to impress the young woman.
------------------
(Y/N)s' POV

"Are you an adeptus by any chance?" the pretty lady asked completely ignoring my words. I cracked a bit inside 'Did she even listen ..'

"Oh uhm yes I am, how did you know?" I asked.
"You have horns and unusual clothing, it's pretty obvious." She deadfaced me.
"..." I didn't reply with an answer as the lady opened the first aid kit and started to treat my bruises.

"Hey I still don't know your name, mind if you could tell me? It would be so much easier." I finally said "Oh my apologies, I go by Verr Goldet!" she said "Verr Goldet... Do you own this Inn?"
"Why yes I do." she smiled as she finished treating my bruises "Can I stay here for a few nights? Today was something else entirely for sure." I asked as I was checking my bag looking for Mora.
"Oh please you had enough trouble today I'll treat you two free nights here, no need to pay for now" Verr Goldet said with a smile as she walked back to her reception desk.
'Damn what a nice lady' I thought to myself.

...

"Wait!" I quickly remembered why I was here in the first place "Verr Goldet, do you know anyone by the name 'Xiao'?" I asked slamming my hands on the desk staring at her brown eyes.
She blinked a few times and finally saying "Xiao? Yes I know him, he usually comes around this time to eat some Almond Tofu or just rest a bit"

"Do you know if he's here right now?" I asked and is if the right moment a rather short man walked in with his polearm in his hands, he had teel dark hair with a few light teel strands and those eyes, the almost exact same color of the burning sun and pure like a moonlight, his clothing was unusually similar to mine and his tattoo traced around his pale skin.

"What the-" the short man questioned the position me and Verr Goldet were in right now.
Before I could say anything I was pinned to a wall with a weapon and a pair of yellow eyes looking at my (E/C) ones
"Who are you? What do you want? I've never seen someone like you around here and by looking at just you, it's obvious you're not a mortal." the man's voice was stern yet soft.

"You must be Xiao right? I've heard about you from an old friend" I went down and moved away from his grasp. My back faced him and I could feel his eyes piercing holes, I felt uncomfortable to say the least I turned around "Please don't hurt me I'm an adeptus like you haha.." I said nervously.

The man looked perplexed "You can't be an adeptus, the God of Geo never said anything about another adeptus over the years I've been here." I broke a little inside once again 'ouch that hurt, Zhongli did you really forget about me'

"Let's talk somewhere more private, I'll meet you at the balcony." I whispered to Xiao and teleported to the balcony there I met him once again "Well are you gonna explain anything?" he asked a bit annoyed.
"Oh yes, I was actually one of the first adepti here, I protected Morax for the longest time until I had to leave for some... Important things, such a shame Morax forgot to mention me at all" I finally said looking at Xiao.

"... I have no time for this" the man walked away from me not even saying goodbye.
'What the-! What's with his attitude' I slowly grew annoyed, I sigh 'Zhongli why did you say me and... That boy could get along' I thought to myself. After a while I decided to go eat something.

I walked down the stairs and found Xiao on the table eating what seems to look like Tofu 'I'm not even gonna try to talk to him again' I walked up to Verr Goldet "Hey Verr I'm really hungry right now, is there anything to eat?" I asked.
"Ah yes you can ask the chef here, he's at the bottom of the building, you can ask him" Verr Goldet replied. "Alright thank you" I walked past Xiao not even giving eye contact.

"Tch you don't seem suit to be an adeptus"

I stop in my tracks and took a deep breath, "Hey are you the chef here?" I asked the buff man "Yes I am, my name is Smiley Yanxiao" do you need anything?" he man asked
"Actually yes I do I would want (F/F)" I replied crossing my arms with a smile "Alright it'll be ready in a few minutes, you can wait at the table next to Xiao" I froze a bit 'Well it won't be bad trying to talk to him again now will it' I took a deep breath "Okay" I replied and walked to the table where Xiao was sitting, peacefully eating his tofu.

------------------
AN; woah you get to meet Xiao today, it looks like he wasn't so welcoming now was it? It'll be okay hopefully next chapter you two will get along.
