Arriving at the archway of Liyue, Yu Jin looked around and saw a bustling crowd.
In the center of the crowd stood a sturdy figure. A gray-brown linen cloak, thick, feathery arms, and a head adorned with spiraling horns… Isn't that Morgott?!
And from the looks of it, he seemed to be chatting quite happily with Ningguang and the others?
"Qixing? I advise you to use your guards elsewhere. If those 'Adepti' were to approach at this time, something unpleasant might happen."
Morgott looked down at the tense figures in front of him and said indifferently.
"You don't need to worry about that, Sir. The Qixing will handle matters concerning the Adepti. However, your presence here…"
Ningguang looked up at Morgott. Both his appearance and physique were unlike anything she had ever seen.
Could it be a divine Dependents from another country that ran to Liyue?
"My appearance is peculiar, but you need not worry. As for my presence here, I bear no ill will; I am merely looking for someone."
"Looking for someone? Perhaps we can help." After a brief thought, Ningguang offered to help find the person.
However, Morgott shook his head. He looked at the crowd being stopped by the Millelith not far away, and among them was a familiar figure.
"Excuse me! Excuse me!"
Amidst the crowd, Yu Jin pushed his way through, slowly moving towards Morgott.
"Stop right…"
"Stop right there, right? But the person he's looking for is me, so, big brother, move aside!"
With a gentle push, Yu Jin moved the Millelith blocking his path.
The pushed-aside soldier felt a huge force and couldn't help but retreat to the side.
Just as he was about to step forward again to stop Yu Jin, he saw Ningguang shake her head at him. Then she waved her hand at the Millelith.
The Millelith beside her understood and immediately dispersed the crowd gathered not far away.
"Why did you come here? You didn't send any message?" Yu Jin ran up and patted Morgott's thigh, saying.
"Actually, I did, but… you didn't respond." Morgott was about to blurt out "King" when addressing Yu Jin, but considering the various circumstances in Liyue, he swallowed the word "King" back.
Yu Jin looked at the calm Morgott, then excitedly jumped up and patted his shoulder, muttering:
"Hahaha! Excellent, excellent! Morgott, you're really different from those few kidney-harvesting big sisters and the fool dragon!"
"You don't know how awkward I was when they bowed to me!"
Yu Jin said, then hugged his arms and shivered. It seemed he was truly bothered by those formalities.
"Bowing?" Ningguang's eyes flickered as she looked at Yu Jin and fell into thought.
Morgott looked at Yu Jin, who was rubbing his hands, and then at Ningguang, who was deep in thought not far away, and sighed.
"King, Morgott greets you." Morgott bowed his head, greeting Yu Jin.
"Uh… actually, you can just call me by my name." Yu Jin scratched his head. Why didn't he greet him when they met, but now he was greeting him?
Morgott saw Yu Jin's expression, only shook his head, smiled, and said nothing.
"King?" Ningguang could no longer remain calm. The word "King" carried a weight that compelled her, as a Qixing, to be cautious.
"Calm down, calm down, I'm retired, retired!" Yu Jin saw Ningguang's expression and immediately waved his hands to reassure her.
He didn't want Ningguang to overreact and treat him like a Harbinger.
Although Harbingers had diplomatic immunity in many matters, they were also subject to supervision from Liyue.
"Just consider us tourists." Seeing that Ningguang was still uneasy, Yu Jin continued to explain.
"Liyue need not worry. The King's kingdom is unimaginably far from here. For the foreseeable future, only I will come here."
Morgott tapped the dirt on the ground and said to Ningguang in front of him.
"Is that so?" Ningguang's expression remained unchanged, but the frequency of her breathing clearly slowed down considerably.
Unconsciously, she had secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Currently, Liyue had to keep an eye on the Adepti who might arrive at any time; on the other hand, she had to closely watch the restless Fatui. There was simply no more energy to deal with forces from other places.
If it was just two people, surely they wouldn't cause any major trouble.
"Do you need a guide for Yujing Terrace? Liyue is vast and rich in resources, with a long history, and many scenic spots worth seeing."
"No need, I am the best guide!" Yu Jin clenched his fists, looking full of confidence.
"Let's go! Morgott! I'll show you a different kind of scenery!"
"Understood!"
A gust of wind swept up, and by the time Ningguang opened her eyes, there was no trace of Yu Jin and Morgott on the ground, except for two large footprints.
Looking at the deep pits in front of her, deep enough to bury her, Ningguang suddenly felt that two people might also be able to stir up some trouble… "This is Feiyun Slope, the most prosperous place here. You can see all sorts of novel things." Yu Jin pointed to the street lined with red buildings ahead and introduced.
Morgott looked up. The flow of people was indeed dense, but it seemed that besides relaxation, there was also a hint of worry on people's faces.
Not only that, Morgott also noticed that the number of Millelith patrolling the streets here was a bit excessive.
And why were all those people walking this way?
"Oh no, Morgott, your appearance is too unique, quick, let's go!" Yu Jin saw the curious crowd and pulled Morgott away from Feiyun Slope.
"Phew! Finally, no one's here."
On the side plaza of Yujing Terrace, Yu Jin and Morgott looked around in the bushes. Sure enough, with their speed, no one could keep up!
"King, I'll change my appearance." Morgott looked at the bushes that only covered half of his body and said expressionlessly.
Morgott's specialties were transformation and clones. Back in the large battlefield pit outside the city, Morgott had suddenly popped out like that to startle Yu Jin.
"No need!" Yu Jin looked at Morgott, waved his hand, and an invisible fluctuation enveloped his body.
This was something Yu Jin learned from Paimon. With this, no matter how peculiar the appearance, it wouldn't attract attention! It was extremely convenient.
"What kind of technique is this?" Just as Yu Jin was feeling smug, an old voice came from behind him.
Turning his head, he saw an old woman.
"Technique? Something like that?" Yu Jin scratched his head. He didn't know how to classify it either.
Morgott looked down at the old woman. Although her body was old, her vitality was incredibly vibrant. Moreover, she was not simple.
"You noticed?"
Madam Ping was surprised to see Yu Jin poking around her adeptal abode.
She had originally thought these two merely had a strong connection to the Adepti, but she hadn't expected them to possess the discernment to see through a hidden realm.
"I noticed it a long time ago, and I even know those two guys inside your pot!"
As soon as Yu Jin finished speaking, two streaks of light emerged. Within the streaks of light were Lumine and Paimon, who had entered the adeptal abode in the pot.
"Heh heh, young people are just quick on their feet, I can't compare!" Madam Ping couldn't help but sigh when she saw Lumine and Paimon find the Cleansing Bell so quickly.
"Madam Ping… Oh? Senior, why are you here?" Lumine was about to say something when she noticed Yu Jin nearby.
"And this one, are you also a dragon?" Paimon also noticed Morgott nearby. She looked at the horns on Morgott's head and asked curiously.
"Dragon? I am not." Morgott looked at the flying Paimon, only able to marvel at the wonders of this other world.
Such magical creatures could probably only be seen in another world.
"Alright, seeing you with horns, I thought you were another new dragon!" Paimon spread her hands, a little disappointed.
She didn't know why, but she always had a strange curiosity about dragons. Dvalin and Lanssangx were both like this, but Paimon told no one about this little hobby.
Perhaps, or maybe, it was just that she had read too many fairy tales about knights fighting dragons?
