let me make it short.

Dehya takes the Traveler and Paimon to the citadel. There they met again with Asfand, and they talked about Akademiya losing something. supposedly they sent a convoy to Aaru Village to pick up an important package, but the convoy got robbed on its way back to Sumeru city. and this item might have something to do with the Dendro Archon. The Grand Sage took the whole matter very seriously as he not just dispatched Matra but also enlist The Eremites.

and so the Traveler along with his flying companion head to Port Ormos for their new quest.

Let's take a break, shall we?

I haven't written any action scenes in a while... so, let's spice things up, aye?

the prosperous nation, Liyue.

ruled not by God anymore but humans! under the shining sun, behind the creak of rocks, and above the primordial earth.

the Nation of Contract!

above the sea clouds, a floating chamber. belongs to only one, the Qixing of Tianquan. Lady Ningguang.

She is one of the important figures for Liyue. She's too busy, doesn't have time for a relationship. until she met him.

her heart flutters before his smile, his smirks and his kindness.

which led to the birth of... their little ones. Yu Huang and Celeste.

anyway, the chamber was usually packed with staff, working for Ningguang as they also took turns taking care of the babies. As for Velzard and Velgrynd, they decided to take a break, lazing around the chamber while their little brother, Veldora just minding his own business, reading manga.

...

...

Liyue Harbor.

the footsteps, noise from the crowds and gentle breeze... it's so peaceful.

unbeknownst to them, a dark force lurking behind the curtain, waiting for their moment.

from afar a tall man with a woman were spotted, as they leisurely walked around the harbor.

Zhongli: surely... the peace that I wanted.

The man put both his hands on his back, admiring the sea. the woman next to him lightly chuckled before smiling at the man.

Guizhong: and it was thanks to who, Morax?

the man replied with a chuckle before he turned his gaze to the horizon.

Zhongli: I'd prefer calling him Rimuru.

the woman laughed as she smacked the man's shoulder with a joking manner.

Guizhong: he's still your superior, remember.

They laughed, enjoying the scenery. The woman rested her head on the man's arm as they drifted into a peaceful silence.

*FWOOSH!*

a young boy appeared out of thin air and proceeded to kneel down.

Xiao: they're here.

The mood was interrupted as the man turned around. a second later a scream could be heard.

Zhongli then squinted his eyes before putting on a serious expression.

Zhongli: gather the Adeptus, now.
