Chapter 330: So Only the Hydro Archon Can Overflow with Hydro?

When Luna awoke, the night was already deep.

"You're awake," Arlecchino said softly.

"Mmm..."

Luna remembered what she had done just a short while ago. The sensation of Arlecchino's lips still seemed to linger on hers, making her yearn to do it again.

But the warmth of Arlecchino's embrace banished the thought.

Just leaning against her like this... it's quite nice.

"It's late, Luna. I imagine your Lady Furina has been waiting for you at home for qu...

Chapter 329: The First Move on "Father"

As the Golden Theatre vanished, the raging storm began to subside, and a steady drizzle fell upon Luna's mask.

"Until next time, my dear Miss Captain."

Before Chevreuse could respond, Luna disappeared from sight.

Chevreuse turned her head. Arlecchino had also vanished at some point, leaving only the couple—their bleeding stopped, but unconscious—on the ground.

The Maison Gardiennage arrived just then with medical personnel.

"Whoa, what happened to these peopl...

Chapter 328: The Phantom Thief

The leader of this gang was Kacey Debra. The men she had gathered were all former members of gangs active over a decade ago. They hadn't gone straight; they had simply been hiding from the Special Task Force and the Maison Gardiennage.

But men die for wealth, just as birds die for food.

How could they not be tempted by the news of the Blood Money Gang's treasure hidden here?

Of course, most were simply following their boss's orders.

To survive in the underworld, you ha...

Chapter 327: The Mask and the Knight's Sword

All the children of the House of the Hearth had once been homeless.

"My mother abandoned me."

"Me? I was sold by my original family..."

"My parents suddenly disappeared..."

Abandoned, sold, parents vanished, parents killed—every child carried an unspeakable past.

"What about you, Luna?" a child had once asked.

"I..."

Maybe I was abandoned.

But it didn't matter anymore.

She had Arlecchino now, and Lynette, and her friends Lyney a...

Chapter 326: The Phantom Thief and the Vision

Hearing Chevreuse's shout, the smile in Luna's eyes only deepened.

"Miss Captain, you're so naive."

Despite feeling disappointed and betrayed, she still wanted to hold onto her.

What kind of emotion is this? Luna wondered, but now wasn't the time for questions. She drew her pistol.

"While your naivety is your most radiant quality, I'm afraid—you can't stop me. I decide how this story ends, and no one can change that."

A chaotic dance of gunfire and swo...

Chapter 224: The Material World Is Not Yours to Conquer

A rapidly swirling vortex of air began to coalesce around the Sky Titan. Her very presence became synonymous with a storm, her speed accelerating relentlessly until she reached the vicinity of the Moon.

However, Hyacine wasn't foolish enough to simply crash into the lunar surface like a meteor. Instead, as she approached the Moon, she flared her wings, transitioning from a dive into a ground-skimming flight!

The Moon's surface was carpeted with grotesque, crimson fleshy plants. Am...

Chapter 180: Discussing the Rendezvous

In the adjacent live stream room, the streamer Penguin hesitated for a long time between the two options. To be honest, he didn't really need the 3,200 Primogems; Qingge's previous incident and Mihoyo's questionable actions during the Lunar New Year had instinctively made him wary.

Taking those 3,200 Primogems could only spell trouble.

But refusing...

Chu Xi had traveled all the way from Liyue specifically to investigate the Dendro Vision. They were friends, and Penguin genu...

Chapter 179: Two Choices

Chu Xi remained silent, her head bowed, clearly reluctant.

"Chu Xi, it'll be so boring for you here. I'll be fine on my own. Your being here would just complicate things. I'll come find you as soon as I'm finished. I'll leave the house key with you so you can come back anytime."

"Be good and listen to me. I'll come find you as soon as I finish my experiments and thesis."

Seeing Silaya's determined gaze, Chu Xi knew she couldn't change her mind.

Chu Xi nodded faintly, h...

Chapter 178: Are You Trying to Drive Me Away?

"You know very well that I do not take that as a compliment"

"So, where's the Segment in the prime of his life, then?"

The scene changed to a massive burning tree, with The Doctor standing before it.

The tree was unmistakably identical to the Irminsul that Lumine had seen when her consciousness connected to it.

"Heh, he's busy with... a little experiment in "blasphemy""

Collei suddenly jolted awake in bed, gasping for breath. She felt as if she had just had a dre...

Chapter 177: Reactions to the PV

"Utterly risible!"

The girl perched on the arm of a massive humanoid puppet, her eyes fixed on a distant point.

[The Fatui Harbinger, Seventh Seat: Sandrone, the Marionette]

The man with a half-mask crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and wore a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

[The Fatui Harbinger, Second Seat: Dottore, the Doctor]

With this, all the remaining Fatui Harbingers had gathered.

[Angie!]

[Is that Angie in the Ice Coffin? The wicked woman...

Chapter 176: A Winter Night's Lazzo

In a certain space, Jiang Mumu finally had some free time.

After days of hard work, she had finished editing the new PV.

All the Fatui Harbingers, plus the Regulator and her as the Adjutant, were finally going to appear together. With the players currently in a story lull, Jiang Mumu planned to release the PV and see how it was received.

Since Rosalyne hadn't died, the original A Winter Night's Lazzo PV couldn't be used. Besides, nothing particularly significant had...

Chapter 175: Interlude Cutscene

Silaya had come specifically to witness this moment, eagerly anticipating Nilou's Dance of Sabzeruz.

Paimon voiced her concern. "But even though we know Nilou is the Master of this dream, how do we make her realize she's dreaming so she can wake up?"

Lumine stroked her chin in thought. Just then, Nilou spoke up.

"Heh, so it was true after all. Could it be that our devout celebration of the Sabzeruz Festival has earned us a response from Lesser Lord Kusanali?"

Nilou's s...

Chapter 174: The Sabzeruz Festival Samsara Ends

There was also a message received late at night.

[...Over this period, those spaces have been continuously disappearing... being absorbed by something in the sky that looks like the sun...]

[...The last space has vanished...]

[...Behind me, countless new spaces have appeared out of thin air... I've figured it out! Those spaces are actually—]

At this point, the signal suddenly degraded, and no further sound came from the Akasha Terminal.

Combining this with the ...

Chapter 173: The Truth Surfaces

Ailina had once been a child of the House of the Hearth, and she harbored a deep-seated fear of the Doctor.

The Doctor had conducted human experiments at Dar al-Shifa, but his experiments weren't confined to that institution. The man was utterly deranged, willing to do anything in pursuit of what he believed to be the truth.

"Little Sister, are you still planning to confront the Doctor?"

"I've said before, I won't go looking for trouble with him. But if he comes looking for ...

Chapter 172: Dar al-Shifa

Lumine and Paimon returned to the Sabzeruz Festival, armed with questions and a purpose.

However, questioning several stall vendors yielded no useful information.

The pair then encountered Dunyarzad, and simultaneously met Dehya.

After Lumine and Paimon shared their foreknowledge and explanations, Dehya began to believe their claim that the Sabzeruz Festival was trapped in a massive samsara.

Thus, Lumine and Paimon led Dehya to Nahida's location.

"...I believe I ...

Chapter 171: Seeking the Truth

Silaya was somewhat surprised. She had thought she had completely escaped this so-called reincarnation, yet here she was, still trapped within it.

But... Lord Kusanali said she had lost a portion of her memories, and that this was the fourteenth time she had asked this question. Yet...

Every day, every moment she had experienced before had corresponded to her actions. If she had truly lost so many days of memories, as Lord Kusanali claimed, then what was the significance of the me...

Chapter 170: The Dendro Archon

[What's going on? Did we actually meet the Dendro Archon?]

[Probably the Traveler met her, but doesn't remember.]

[Silaya definitely knows more. Why isn't she saying anything? And the thing I can't figure out is why Silaya and Chu Xi seem unaffected by this?]

[Could it be because their souls are pure?]

[I think it's because Silaya has a close relationship with the Dendro Archon, which allows her to retain her memories.]

[The more I watch, the more Chu Xi seems li...

Chapter 169: Infinite Cycles

In the Traveler's dream, as that beep sounded in their ear, at Silaya's residence:

Silaya, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.

"The System... has begun operating..."

The next morning, Paimon yawned and grumbled, "It's all your fault for sleeping in! We're going to be late! Hurry up and let's go meet Dunyarzad."

The Traveler and Paimon arrived at the agreed-upon meeting place with Dunyarzad.

"Good morning, Dunyarzad. Sorry we're late....

Chapter 168: Entering the Cycle

At the Zubayr Theater, the Sabzeruz Festival celebrations had to be abruptly halted due to the explicit warnings from high-ranking Scholars. Nilou, Dunyarzad, and the theater staff were ultimately just ordinary citizens of Sumeru, unable to openly defy the Akademiya.

After bidding farewell to Dunyarzad, the Traveler and Paimon prepared to return to their lodgings. As they walked, both were lost in thought, their spirits heavy.

"Dunyarzad had been looking forward to the Sabzeruz Fe...

Chapter 167: The So-Called "Blunt Strike"

"For scholars who seek truth, truth, and reality, the gods created Sumeru City as a paradise... Yet you people seek to defile it."

Chu Xi, the inconspicuous bystander, stepped forward to stand beside Silaya:

"You know Sumeru City was created by the gods, yet you obstruct the very ceremonies that celebrate them. Isn't that forgetting your roots? If you tried this in Liyue..."

Grand Sage Azar: "You are not from Sumeru. Refrain from speaking in matters that do not concern you. ...

Chapter 166: The Great Sage, a Man Who Could Drive You Mad!

Some time later, Dehya, having dealt with the mercenaries, found Lumine's group.

"Miss, so you were here."

Paimon: "Dehya! You finished them off so quickly!"

Dunyarzad noticed the bandage on Dehya's arm and rushed forward, gently taking Dehya's hand in concern.

"Dehya, your arm..."

"Oh? This? I'm fine, just a scratch. They wouldn't have been able to hurt me normally, but I'm still getting used to this new Claymore."

Dunyarzad remained worried. "Let me take ...

Chapter 223: The Floating City Unleashes Its Full Firepower

These newly arrived monsters closely resembled pterodactyls, each possessing a pair of massive, fleshy wings devoid of feathers. Upon closer inspection, one could even discern the intricate network of blood vessels tracing the wing membranes.

In addition to their wings, they sported four clawed limbs and sharp, elongated beaks, resembling razor-edged blades.

These colossal creatures boasted wingspans of at least seven to eight meters, resembling compact fighter jets. Their numbers...

Chapter 165: A Day That Keeps Repeating

The next day, Silaya and Chu Xi woke up early.

Today was the annual Sabzeruz Festival, the dendro archon's birthday. While many Sumerans might not care, for Silaya, Dunyarzad, and others like them, it was undoubtedly the most important day of the year in Sumeru.

As for why the Dendro Archon's birthday was called the Sabzeruz Festival, it stemmed from a time 500 years ago or even earlier, when Sumeru was jointly ruled by three gods: King Deshret Amun, the Goddess of Flowers Nabu Ma...

Chapter 164: The Sabzeruz Festival

Upon entering Sumeru City, Paimon said, "Lumine, let's hurry and find Dunyarzad. I bet... she's probably near the Grand Bazaar, the place she showed us around."

The two swiftly made their way to the Grand Bazaar and, as expected, found Dunyarzad there, observing the scene.

"Dunyarzad, we're back!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Dunyarzad turned around, smiling. "Traveler and Paimon! You kept your promise! It's wonderful that you made it back in time to celebrate Lesser Lord Kus...

Chapter 163: Through Mists of Smoke and Forests Dark (Epilogue)

"Now that we've settled that, let's return to our original topic."

"Recently, the Akademiya lost a Canned Knowledge in the desert. It's said to be a Canned Knowledge of the Divine, capable of granting the wisdom of a God upon use."

Paimon: "Wow, something like that actually exists?!"

Paimon turned to Lumine. "If we find it, do you think we could learn how to meet the Dendro Archon? Maybe even find out about your brother?"

Alhaitham continued, "I highly doubt i...

Chapter 162: Return to Sumeru City

When Chu Xi opened her eyes, she saw a ceiling unlike those in Liyue. Everything was blurry, and her head swam.

"You're awake. Drink this medicine."

Tighnari had just entered the room and, seeing Chu Xi awake, brought her a bowl of medicine.

It was the same scene she'd experienced at Bubu Pharmacy before. She hadn't expected to find such kind people here as well.

Chu Xi took the bowl and murmured a soft thank you.

"Don't mention it. I'm Tighnari, a Forest Ranger ...

Chapter 161: Another One Picked Up

"Silaya, have you dreamed of Lesser Lord Kusanali recently?" Lumine and Paimon remembered Silaya's promise to ask on their behalf.

Silaya shook her head. Perhaps Lesser Lord Kusanali had been busy with other matters, or perhaps Silaya's current location in Vanarana, far from the Sanctuary of Surasthana, made it difficult for the Lesser Lord to reach her in dreams.

In any case, since arriving in Vanarana, Silaya hadn't dreamed of her at all.

"I see..."

Since Silaya had ...

Chapter 160: Practice with a Bludgeon

The moment they clashed, Lumine realized the Hydro Abyss Herald had grown stronger.

This wasn't their first battle, but she had never encountered such a situation before.

Despite her own rapid progress in strength during her travels, how could she possibly be unable to defeat this foe?!

Paimon noticed the problem too—Lumine couldn't break through the Hydro Abyss Mage's shield.

"We can't defeat him... You've fought this guy so many times before, why is this happening?...

Chapter 159: Zero-Frame Startup

Angie led Ailina out of their home and onto the road to Sumeru.

Reporting to the Captain earlier had been easy. Although Angie served as the Captain's adjutant, he rarely imposed restrictions on her when there were no urgent matters.

Otherwise, Angie wouldn't have been running all over Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and now even Sumeru.

It's safe to say no other Fatui Harbinger works as diligently as she does.

To be precise, after Angie failed to defeat the Captain in thei...

Chapter 158: A Farewell Gift

"More than one?"

The expression on Lumine's delicate face shifted. Based on her experiences in the previous three nations, the Fatui had never been friendly toward her.

Their goal was to collect the Gnosis, and they might resort to desperate measures to obtain it.

Silaya nodded, certain there would be more than just one.

Leaving aside the Doctor and Scaramouche, Angie had already departed from Snezhnaya and would arrive in Sumeru within days. Moreover, the ever-concern...
