Creak~
As the wooden cottage door slowly creaked open, Heinrich's nerves tightened to their breaking point. But what he saw next left him utterly stunned. Slowly emerging from the cottage was a blue-haired girl with a gaunt face and heavy dark circles beneath her eyes.
The divine power radiating from her was even weaker than Heinrich's own, leaving her looking like she was on her last legs. It wouldn't have been surprising if she had simply collapsed and died the next mom...

Venti had just returned to Mondstadt when he saw the once-dormant city erupt into chaos. An ominous premonition grew stronger in his heart.
With a wave of his right hand, a gust of wind swept from one end of Mondstadt to the other. Venti vanished from his spot, reappearing moments later behind Favonius Cathedral.
Jean and Kaeya were already there, aware of Venti's true identity. They immediately rushed to greet him.
Venti's composure crumbled. His face flushed crimson as he ...

Midnight, atop Tianheng Mountain.
Qingxu knelt before her sister's grave. "Sister, I've become Cloud Retainer's disciple. Starting today, I'll be learning Adeptus arts from Master. But don't worry, just like when I was studying, I'll come home often..."
Behind Qingxu stood the three Venerables: Xianyun, Houzhang, and Jiehu.
Xianyun led the way, with Houzhang and Jiehu following closely behind.
Jiehu: "This is already Cloud Retainer's third disciple. Should we consider ...

Baizhu waited beside her, watching as she finished eating.
Once she was done, he took the bowl back. "You shouldn't eat too much at once. Rest for a while first."
The girl nodded almost imperceptibly.
After Baizhu left the room with the bowl, Changsheng couldn't resist asking, "Aren't you curious about what happened to that girl?"
"The Millelith will handle the investigation," Baizhu replied. "Even if I knew, I couldn't help. Besides, I have other patients waiting."

At Alhaitham's residence, Silaya stood with her hands clasped behind her back, her fingers nervously twisting together. Her head was bowed, too afraid to meet her teacher Alhaitham's gaze.
Alhaitham sat at his desk, meticulously reviewing a document.
Alhaitham quickly set down the document in his hand.
The moment Alhaitham put down the document, Silaya's heart leaped into her throat.
The brief few minutes felt like months to her.
Hearing his words, Silaya's tense...

But Inazuma was different. Even the locals were renowned for their martial prowess, deserved some respect.
The previous iteration of Malice had been a monster like character. This time, Jiang Mumu planned to design a female antagonist.
She already had the template in mind: the classic "white-lotus" type—someone outwardly delicate, pitiable, innocent, and pure, yet inwardly madly twisted—the epitome of the "white-lotus turning black" trope.
However, such a charac...

"Hmm? Lyney and Lynette have gone missing?" Arlecchino frowned as she received the Debt Collector's report.
She never imagined that Lyney and Lynette, sent merely to investigate, would fail.
This shouldn't have happened. Both were Vision users with considerable strength, and the Fatui soldiers Lyney had mobilized were also skilled operatives.
Even if their opponent was exceptionally powerful, Lyney and Lynette should have found a way to relay some intelligence before being c...

When the events at the Opera Epiclese were reported by the press, they caused quite a stir in Fontaine.
People weren't particularly panicked by the Cult of No. 6's actions during the magic show, but they did complain about how the cult's members seemed to be everywhere.
What truly captivated them was the story the Magic Assistant told, causing nearly everyone who heard it to exclaim, "Holy shit!"
Beyond this, Lyney and Lynette's activities in Fontaine had stirred considerabl...

Seeing the Magic Assistant's reaction, everyone knew he was hiding a secret, and the crowd immediately grew expectant.
Sensing the Magic Assistant's distress, Lyney was certain his theory was correct: the man had indeed seen something in the box's hidden compartment. He pressed further.

"Everyone wants to know the truth, and you're the only one who knows it now."
"No... no! Please, don't force me! Let me go!"

"The only person who could have been in contact with the deceased at the time of the crime is Mr. Lyney. We found no trace of any other individuals in the underground tunnel, nor any place where a third person could have hidden."
"Furthermore, the bloodstains in the tunnel bear signs of having been stepped on, likely by the murderer as they frantically fled the scene."...

The second meteorite crashed down with a deafening roar, slamming heavily into the first, instantly crushing the Earth Great Spirit's still-struggling body beneath.
BOOM!!!
A massive explosion sent plumes of smoke and dust billowing into the sky, obscuring Hyacine's vision. With a casual wave of her hand, a gust of wind swept away the debris, revealing that both the Earth Great Spirit and the first meteorite had completely vanished from sight.
All that remained was ...

In the end, Yuna stayed with Lumine.
Not in some random inn, of course, but in the Serenitea Pot Lumine had obtained from Madame Ping.
Lumine had only recently acquired the Serenitea Pot and hadn't had much time to decorate it, leaving the interior sparsely furnished.
This was Yuna's first time entering such a magical place. The way day and night cycled here, mirroring the outside world perfectly, was simply incredible!

Yuna arrived at the Commission Office gate, cradling her cakes. The two guards' faces lit up with smiles the moment they saw her.
Were the previous guards replaced? Yuna wondered. I don't remember these two being here at this time. It's too early for the night shift.

"You guys... what's wrong?" Yuna asked, even more puzzled by their silence. Her hands stilled.
Paimon's little mouth trembled. "Waaah, Yuna, the Abyss's bad guys killed Qingge! Waaah!"
Lumine gently placed her hand on Paimon's back, comforting the little sprite.
Paimon's words left Yuna, Itto, and Kuki Shinobu stunned.
Itto's voice boomed the loudest:

Through the curtain of rain, Chevreuse led the Special Task Force to the couple's mansion—located outside Fontaine, it appeared especially eerie under the storm-swept sky.
This was already the ninth clap of thunder.

Time was of the essence, but in such moments, composure was paramount. No room for carelessness.

When Mondstadt is mentioned, people often think of knights, gentle breezes, dandelions, freedom, and fine wine.
Mondstadt is also an ancient city-state with over a thousand years of history, a land where countless heroic and tragic tales have unfolded.
For the common people, the most enduring memory remains the rule of the old nobility and the fierce struggle to overthrow them.
Among these, the Gunnhildr Clan, itself a noble family, sided with the people, thus avoiding the f...

"Master," Cloud Retainer said, nodding to Ganyu and Shenhe before turning to the Ice Coffin. Through the encasing ice, they could clearly see Qingge sleeping within.
