3rd Person POV

 "Can someone please tell me again how we ended up here?" Xiao asked, hanging upside down from a vine.

 "So about that... Hahaha..." Venti turned away from his boyfriend's glare only to be met by another one.

 "I will never trust you with teleporting ever again, Barbatos."

 "Come now, xiansheng. At least I got to see quite a view." Childe, the only one who landed on the ground, snickered.

 The harbinger looked up at the three, barely holding back his laughter.

 "Barbatos!"

 "Fine, fine, I got it."

 A gust of wind quickly cut through the vines, another letting them down gently.

 "You should practice." Xiao spat out.

 The four of them were planning on going to Port Ormos, but this place...

 Obviously wasn't it.

 "I just wonder how far off we are."

 "We couldn't possibly be that far."

 "Well, we can think about that later, how about we solve this little problem first."

 The two gods looked up to see Childe and Xiao looking at them with an annoyed expression.

 "What now?"

 "That." Xiao pointed behind them.

 Only then did the two gods realize...

 They were...

 Surrounded?

 "Hand over all your belongings if you don't want to die!" An eremite shouted at them.

 And the four...

 They looked back at the group of eremites with the most unimpressed expressions you can imagine.

 "Hey, Mo- Zhongli, this isn't really happening, right?"

 "It seems it is."Zhongli looked around somewhat confused.

 This was something the four of them would never have expected.

 Two archons, a yaksha, and a harbinger.

 When was the last time someone threatened to rob them?

 "Xiansheng-"

 "No, you can't."

 "But it looks like fun." Childe whined.

 "If Childe can't then how about I-"

 "No." Xiao too was denied.

 "Let's just leave them be." Zhongli said eventually.

 He didn't want to bother. They had better things to do than pick a fight with these weaklings.

 Unfortunately, the eremites didn't seem to care for their life.

 "Boss, look at them. They are acting so high and mighty."

 "It's just a few shorties and some idiots, what can they do?" The so-called boss, laughed, sealing his fate.

 "On second thought, we might as well deal with them." Zhongli turned back around.

 "I have to agree." Venti smiled.

 The two gods felt offended.

 Never had anyone below them dared to utter such words to their face.
