After registering at the entrance of Mondstadt, Amber first went to hand over her mission, telling Lumine and Paimon to wait for her at Good Hunter.
Just as Lumine and Paimon were walking towards Good Hunter,
A dragon's roar echoed from the sky above.
Someone shouted, "Run! Stormterror is back!" The scene erupted into chaos.
Paimon: Lumine, let's hide too.
Lumine: No, we have to do something.
But, but we can't fly either, Paimon said.
A voice rang out in Lumine's mind: "I will summon the winds of a thousand years to help you. Now, unfurl your Wind Glider."
A wind field rose out of nowhere around Lumine, directly carrying her into the sky.
Paimon: Lumine!
At this moment, Qixuan, who had just exited Diona's tavern, watched Lumine fly high into the sky.
"Hm? Has the main story begun?" She said, then walked towards the center of the plaza.
Speaking of Qixuan, she had lived a rather "idle" life all these years.
When she first arrived in Mondstadt, she had reported her identity as an Immortal from Liyue, which scared the guards into notifying the then-Grand Master, Vennessa.
Subsequently, Vennessa also confirmed Qixuan's identity with Liyue, and immediately arranged the highest-standard accommodation for Qixuan.
At that time, whenever Mondstadt encountered problems they couldn't solve, Qixuan would step in, to the point that Qixuan earned the title of "Valiant Knight." Qixuan was so startled that she immediately said, "No, no, change the title. Chiyuan Immortal is fine."
Of course, some Mondstadters remained skeptical of this "Immortal" from Liyue. Some of the nobles at the time didn't hesitate to trip Qixuan up.
The next day, Qixuan had them hung at the city gate. Some people still didn't submit until a giant Ruin Guard lost control and broke into Mondstadt. At that time, Qixuan was in a terrible mood from just waking up.
She flew out directly and gave the Ruin Guard a "One-Inch Punch: Skull Splitter," turning the Cyclops Big Baby into a Headless Big Baby.
(What? How did the protagonist learn that? With Aichan, anything is possible! Of course, it was exchanged from the System Shop.)
From then on, no one dared to disrespect this "Immortal." As for Venti? He was so illusory that he fell asleep and only recently woke up.
Qixuan had also sought him out once, complaining, "I've helped Mondstadt a lot these years. Shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
Venti earned his wine money by busking, so where would he get money? He immediately went to Dvalin's "nest" and took some property, which resulted in Dvalin chasing him for a day and a night.
Even the current Acting Grand Master, Jean Gunnhildr, was watched over by Qixuan as she grew up, and of course, our Klee.
Recently, Klee had gone fishing again with the "magnetic bomb" Qixuan gave her.
Time returns to the present.
At this moment, Lumine, with Venti's help, was fighting Dvalin in the sky, firing "wind bullets" at Dvalin's wounds contaminated by the Abyss.
Ultimately, Dvalin flew away in pain.
Just as Lumine landed, there was another "dragon roar." Dvalin had returned, but this time it was different.
The Crystalize part of his wound glowed, and Dvalin's eyes were now red. He directly unleashed a "Tornado Destroys Parking Lot" towards the plaza.
Lumine was caught off guard and immediately blown into the air. At this moment, Venti, hidden in the shadows, wanted to act, but seeing Qixuan nod at him, he left.
Qixuan: "Oh? Is he angered by his wound being agitated?" She said, then used the "Core of Anemo" to gather Anemo at her feet and "step into the void."
Paimon: Lumine!
Then Paimon saw a figure emerge from the tornado, carrying Lumine.
At this moment, Lumine was still dizzy and couldn't clearly see who had saved her, but she still managed to say "thank you."
Qixuan observed "the Traveler" up close for the first time. "Hmm,"
"As expected of 'the Traveler,' she possesses the 'potential for great mischief.'"
She turned back to look at Dvalin, who was still causing trouble. "It seems I need to make you behave first." She said, assuming the starting stance for "One-Inch Punch."
She flew directly into the sky, instantly dodging Dvalin's attacks, then directly stuck to Dvalin's head and delivered a "One-Inch Punch: Elbow Strike."
Dvalin immediately "crashed" on the spot.
(Dvalin: "Children, I can't come back.")
Venti was heartbroken to see this, but he couldn't beat Qixuan, so he could only take Dvalin away first.
"Next time, go easy, alright?" Venti whispered.
Qixuan: "Got it, got it. Hurry up and go."
After Qixuan landed, Lumine had already woken up. Seeing the appearance of her savior, she immediately started drooling.
(As expected of the Traveler.)
One could only say she inherited the "beauty" of the incredibly, unbelievably cute Kiana.
Qixuan stepped forward and said, "Hmm? Are you alright?" She thought to herself, (She wasn't blown silly by the wind, was she? How else will the story progress?)
Finally, Lumine reacted after Paimon's reminder.
"Ah! Hello, my name is Lumine, and I'm a Traveler. She's Paimon, my 'emergency food.' Thank you for saving me."
Paimon: "Mhm, mhm, yes, thank you for saving Lumine! Huh? Wait, what's emergency food, hey!"
Qixuan: "My name is Qixuan. You can also call me Chiyuan Immortal."
Paimon: "Immortal!"
Lumine: "What's an Immortal?"
Paimon pulled Lumine aside and whispered what an "Immortal" was. After listening, Lumine summarized three points: very powerful, long-lived, and very beautiful.
"In that case, she's older than me." Lumine turned and said, "Then can I call you Qixuan-jie?"
Qixuan smiled slightly: "Hmm? You can, of course."
Lumine: "Yay!" Paimon: "Yay! We just arrived in Mondstadt and already met an Immortal!"
"Huh? Aren't Immortals all in Liyue?"
Paimon only just realized this. Qixuan said, "I'm just on vacation in Mondstadt."
Just then, applause erupted.
Along with a very pretentious voice saying, "Possessing the power to fight dragons, are you our guest, or a 'new storm'?"
Qixuan: "Kaeya, how can you be so pretentious?"
Kaeya gave an awkward smile: "I'm just being cautious, Chiyuan-jie." (The Knights of Favonius generally refer to Qixuan by this title. She herself doesn't care about titles, but it's a sign of respect.)
Qixuan: "Hmm? I chased away Stormterror. Are you going to suspect me too?"
Kaeya: "How would I dare?" He still remembered what "Cyclops Big Baby" looked like after becoming "Headless Big Baby." He didn't want to experience that too.
Lumine had a mischievous look on her face. "Uncle, who are you?"
Qixuan: "Hahaha, uncle."
Kaeya: "...My friend, I'm only 23 years old."
Lumine: "Well, I really couldn't tell. You're too dark."
Kaeya: "..."
Qixuan: "Hahaha, alright, alright, Lumine. His name is Kaeya Alberich. He's the Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius, and also the second-in-command of the Knights of Favonius, you know."
Lumine: "Then who's the first-in-command?"
Paimon: "Don't ask such casual questions!"
Just then, Amber ran over. "What happened? I just left and heard the 'dragon disaster' was back?"
Paimon: "Mhm, mhm, it was really dangerous!"
Paimon said, pulling Amber aside to whisper.
After listening, Amber said to Qixuan, "Qixuan-jie," (For cute girls, special treatment is fine. Calling her that is no problem.) "You're amazing! Although it's not the first time I've seen it."
Qixuan: "Our Outrider isn't bad either!" She said, then patted Amber's head.
"Hmm, the feel is top-notch."
Kaeya: "Alright, enough chitchat. Acting Grand Master Jean wants to see you."
Lumine: "Me?"
Kaeya: "Yes."
Qixuan: "Let's go, let's go. Maybe it's a reward."
Paimon: "Oh! Reward, reward! Lumine, let's hurry!"
Lumine: "Did the 'tornado' blow your brains out?"
There was nothing to do, being unfamiliar with the place, so she could only follow Kaeya to Acting Grand Master Jean's office.
It was a good thing Qixuan-jie was there. At least she was a good person.
Hehe
