In the dream.
Cold seawater submerged his body.
"So cold."
"So painful."
"Was I struck by lightning?"
Darkness surrounded him.
Only a flickering cluster of firelight shone before his eyes.
Within the darkness.
The dreams that had once appeared gradually became clearer.
It seemed that there had once been someone who helped him, but why couldn't he remember?
Su Han always felt that sensation was extremely unfamiliar.
If it really was reincarnation.
Why couldn't he remember anything?
After an unknown amount of time.
Su Han finally woke up. He tried to move his body, but numbness mixed with pain spread throughout him.
"I was struck by Raiden Ei's thunder."
The painful sensation.
Made him recall everything.
But before he lost consciousness, he seemed to have seen a lot of pink fluff. It was beautiful and pleasing.
Yet he felt like he had forgotten something.
For example, the pain on his face felt abnormally intense.
As if he had been beaten up.
Su Han found himself unable to move, so he began to examine his body internally.
The injuries inside his body were not as severe as he had imagined, only minor wounds. However, the Black Battle Armor on the outside was completely ruined.
Still, the good news was that aside from looking covered in scars, he did not have any major issues.
"Looks like it's much better than I expected."
Although his body could not move, he took out a Den Den Mushi from inside the Serenitea Pot.
The moment he took it out.
These previously quiet snails began ringing wildly.
"Buru buru"
"Buru buru"
"Buru buru"
"Buru buru"
"Buru buru"
There were five in total.
Yae Miko.
Hu Tao.
Ningguang.
Jean.
Shenhe.
Su Han condensed golden light and answered all the Den Den Mushi at once.
"Hello? Where are you? Why haven't you sent any news?"
"Su Han, did something happen to you? I feel like you were in danger just now!!!"
"Su Han, did you run into trouble?"
"Did you get struck by lightning?"
They spoke over one another, and soon all fell into silence.
Because they realized the presence of the others.
Mount Yougou.
Bedroom.
Yae Miko listened to the voices coming from the Den Den Mushi, and the fire of gossip burned brightly in her eyes.
This Boss Su really had some skill.
He actually had so many confidantes. Wouldn't they start fighting each other?
Thinking about these women possibly arguing over Su Han, she became excited.
Quick, quick.
Let me see a dramatic showdown.
At this moment, Su Han's voice came from the Den Den Mushi.
"I'm fine for now. I was careless just now, or rather, I underestimated that thunderstorm."
Su Han explained what had happened.
Yae Miko froze in place.
She had thought Su Han was attacked by someone, but it turned out to be because of the thunderstorm.
This was her negligence.
But before Yae Miko could say anything, the voices of the other women came through the Den Den Mushi.
"Su Han, should we call the Adepti and the Geo Archon? I think with my Jade Chamber and the Adepti, we should be able to force our way through the thunderstorm. If that doesn't work, we can call the Geo Archon!"
"The Geo Archon has already intended to retire. Why not let me handle it? I'll call Venti and Dvalin. With the Anemo Archon and his companion, we should reach you very quickly."
Wait.
What was going on?
The Geo Archon.
The Adepti.
The Wind Dragon.
The Anemo Archon.
At this moment, Yae Miko felt that she had completely underestimated Su Han's status.
Although she had learned from Hu Tao that Su Han had saved Mondstadt and had great influence in Liyue.
Being able to mobilize two Archons at the same time.
That was absolutely no joke.
If they really came to demand an explanation, with the puppet Shogun's rigidity, the situation would definitely spiral into the worst possible outcome.
No.
This couldn't happen.
Yae Miko snapped back to her senses and quickly said, "Please wait. Since something happened to Su Han in Inazuma, I naturally cannot shirk responsibility. Tell me your location, I will personally go there."
They absolutely could not be allowed to come.
Otherwise, chaos would erupt across the land.
Ningguang was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you a retainer of the Electro Archon of Inazuma?"
"That's right. Mount Yougou, Grand Narukami Shrine's shrine maiden, Yae Miko. I'm very familiar with Ganyu from Liyue."
To prevent the situation from escalating.
Yae Miko desperately tried to build goodwill, afraid that the two Archons might come rushing over.
"If the thunderstorm is so dangerous, why didn't you warn Su Han when he went there? As a retainer of the Electro Archon, shouldn't you have known?"
Ningguang's words carried hidden anger.
If not for the Flames of Longing, she might not even have known what had happened to Su Han.
Jean was no less forceful.
"I don't know about Inazuma's situation, but Su Han is my man and also Mondstadt's benefactor. We cannot just stand by and do nothing!"
Yae Miko began to sweat.
Damn it.
They were too intense.
No.
I need to move immediately.
While setting off, Yae Miko said, "Please don't be angry. Our national situation is somewhat special, so please give me a little time, alright? Regarding Su Han's injuries, I will give you an explanation. Su Han, say something quickly."
The mischievous fox who originally wanted to watch the drama.
Was now completely panicking.
She had never expected that Su Han's women were all leaders of nations.
If she failed to calm them down.
Inazuma would not be able to withstand the anger of two nations.
Su Han smiled slightly, feeling deeply moved. But for the sake of the bigger picture, they could not act impulsively.
"Alright, I'm fine, aren't I? Calm down first. Since Yae Miko is coming, everything will be alright."
"But how will you come back? You won't get struck by lightning again, right?"
Ningguang voiced her concern.
Since Su Han was conscious, she was not worried about his safety.
But how would he leave?
Would he have to suffer again?
At this moment, Yae Miko spoke, "I will escort him out. With me accompanying him, the thunderstorm will not attack!"
"Do we really not need to come over?"
Jean was still somewhat worried.
Not long ago, she had been working at her desk.
Suddenly, she felt uneasy.
Although it was her first time experiencing such a feeling, she could clearly sense that something had happened to Su Han.
Even when she closed her eyes, she could feel his situation.
A woman who had just fallen in love could not bear for her other half to suffer like this.
Su Han smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can trust Miko."
"Alright then."
Since Su Han said so, they could only listen.
Seeing the two strong women relent.
Yae Miko finally let out a sigh of relief.
That was truly a close call.
"Alright, tell me your location. I've already gone down the mountain."
"Uh, I'm not exactly sure. My whole body hurts. I only know that I just passed through the thunderstorm and was rescued by someone. I'm currently in a seaside cave."
"The seaside? Could it be near Watatsumi Island?"
Yae Miko muttered to herself.
Departing from Liyue, the closest place would only be Watatsumi Island.
