"uhmmmm... So?" Xingqiu asked

"Unplanned funerals are no more! Yay!"

"You'll still have to do a ceremony for the hilichurls, you know?"

"What?! Oh shiiiiii-" The girl's cheery expression disappeared almost instantly.

"Wait, is that fire?!" Chongyun stood up and noticed something we all failed to.

"That's... Wait a minute! It's that my house?!" Hu Tao looked at the direction of the fire.

We quickly ran towards the fire, it was worse than anyone would hope for... The whole neighborhood was burning up in flames, while a Pyro abiss mage danced in the middle of it

"That... Is... Indeed my house..."

The girl stood there, paralyzed, with a creepy yet somewhat graceful smile on her face

"So, Y/N, do you want to help me destroy the abyss and everyone in it?" The girl spoke, without looking away from the little red creature, who had started fighting the millelithes that just arrived.

"Let's kill the abyss mage before, Xingqiu, could you lend me some of your Hydro?"

"Sure thing."

*Snap*

Thanks to Xingqiu I was able to destroy the mage's shield in a matter of seconds, causing the annoying red fluffball to fall to the ground.

"Explain yourself, and maybe I'll let you live, pathetic excuse for a pyrokinetic."

*death stare*

"Oh, this was just out of personal enjoyment, I don't-"

"I've heard enough."

Hu Tao violently thrusted her spear in the abyss mage's face, killing it.

The millelithes that were turned towards the young girl with an extremely startled look on their faces. Xingqiu and Chongyun were helping the other Millelithes, while Yanfei and Xiangling were helping the ones that got hurt in the fight.

"Now that the mage's dead, I'd say it's not a great idea to go into the abyss."

"Well DUH! But now I don't have a home!" Hu Tao picked her spear up

One of the Millelithes approached us.

"Miss Hu Tao, right? A big part of your belongings were lost in the fire, but we managed to get a hold of some documents and personal effects."

"How big was it?"

"Most of what was in the kitchen and living room, the other rooms were more or less spared by the fire. I'm sorry to inform you that you won't be able to access your house for an indefinite amount of time, due to the reparations."

"What?! Why?! "Hu Tao looked devastated.

"Hey, look at the bright side, you could come live with us, we'll have girls' night every night!" Yanfei appeared from behind us.

"Well, that does sound like fun, but..."

"Why has no one asked for my opinion?" I crossed my arms, with a stern look on my face.

"Oh. Hehe, sorry bro..."

Yanfei and Hu Tao started doing their best at puppy eyes. If I wasn't already convinced, I surely would've been now.
