Chapter 517: Eat and Drink, Spy Sees Nowhere

The sun was scattered, and before us was the sparkling blue lake, vast and pure.

The hazy mountains in the distant sky are Qingce Village and Wuwangpo.

Below is a rushing waterfall, and the water vapor looks like the mist of a fairyland.

Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimeng sat on a rock in the mountain range outside the ruins, gazing at the golden and vibrant rock kingdom.

Ancient trees, flying birds, foxes, squirrels, swimming fish and frogs... make people feel comfortable and see the living creatures and light of the world from the sadness and darkness of the abyss.

Jiang Yi looked at Ying, the sunlight sparkling on her golden hair, even the fine hairs on her fair face seemed clear. Her eyes were looking into the distance, her chin supported by her hands, her knees slightly bent, and her skirt sliding slightly.

After all, I still haven't gotten out of it.

He took out a few clear glass bottles filled with transparent, bubbly drinks.

"Here! It's not alcohol, but relaxing carbon dioxide and sweetened water. In my hometown, it's commonly known as 'fat otaku happy water'."

"Put it next to the ice mist flower and it tastes good."

Paimeng heard Jiang Yi say this and said, "Isn't it similar to the sparkling water in 'Angel's Gift'? And what is the name of the fat otaku? Is it a nickname?"

"Don't worry about it." Jiang Yi took out some carefully cooked junk food, "Fried potato chips", "Small spicy strips", "Small dried fish"...

“With this little snack, it’s real happiness.”

Ying felt a warmth: "I'm really fine. Thank you."

The greedy Paimon has already started eating.

"One night during the Wind Flower Festival, I seemed to see you, Noelle, and Barbara making snacks in the kitchen. Then, I smelled the scent of spicy dried fish. Is this what you made?" Paimon found that the food was vacuum-packed and had the production date written on it.

Ying can also create the vacuum vortex of wind element.

According to the principle, by extracting the air from the bag, the food can be preserved in a vacuum without the need for alchemical equipment. Should I let Ying learn how to prepare enough snacks?

"Wow!" Paimon felt so refreshed after taking a bite of snack and a sip of happy water.

"I'm going to Inazuma." Ying ate a piece of potato chips, took a sip of drink, and felt the bubbles burst in her mouth.

"Of course!" Jiang Yi looked at the sky, "However, Inazuma is locked in the country, and the endless thunderstorms have blocked it. The surrounding seas have become extremely dangerous. If you want to go, you can only find the Southern Cross Fleet."

"But the Southern Cross Fleet went out to sea after the Lantern Festival. I've heard that they come back every six months. You have to wait until summer or autumn, and you can go to Inazuma with them in the second half of the year."

"Yes!" Ying nodded. "During this time, we can continue to explore Mondstadt and Liyue. The Abyss Cults in these two countries may be able to bring me news."

It was like a leisurely afternoon tea, camping in a beautiful place, the three of them sat in the sunshine for two hours, chatting, eating and drinking.

The haze on my body is gone.

Jiang Yi stood up and said, "Now that I'm here, as a disciple I have to go back to Aozang Mountain. Ying, if you want to go back to Mondstadt, go back first."

"Please tell Noelle and the others that I will be back in two days."

Paimon clapped his hands and wiped the residue from the corners of his mouth: "Okay, we will help pass on the message."

Ying looked at Jiang Yi: "Then...see you in two days."

Jiang Yi waved goodbye and flew into Aozang Mountain.

The two of them had a tacit understanding about the matter of the statue and neither of them mentioned it.

Jiang Yi met his senior sister and master in the immortal cave, and also sought answers from various immortals for his questions.

So, two days later.

Jiang Yi appeared in an Abyss Mage base in Liyue, holding a sweet flower wrapped in an Abyss spell in his hand.

An Ice Abyss Mage with a familiar aura, after confirming the secret code with each other, the other party said in a deep voice: "007, His Royal Highness the Prince invites you."

"It's my honor." Jiang Yi looked at Wangwangbing, who was holding a staff and wearing icy clothes. The rich ice element gathered at the top of the staff, bringing a chill.

The opponent's strength is almost first-rate among the abyss mages. It is obvious that he has been living well these days, probably because he has made many contributions and received a lot of rewards.

Unfortunately, if I wanted to kill him, he couldn't stop me.

Wangwangbing rubbed his feet while floating in the air. In the Abyss Cult, he had heard about Jiang Yi's great reputation of killing Abyss Mages and seizing the "Dead Leaves of the Earth's Veins", "Old Branches of the Earth's Veins" and "New Sprouts of the Earth's Veins".

This time when he was sent to find Jiang Yi, he did not dare to step forward. Instead, he left a special sweet flower on the high mountain where Jiang Yi flew over after leaving Aozang Mountain as a signal to attract Jiang Yi.

He also gave ten "old branches of the earth veins" as a token of friendship.

"At this moment, only you and I know about the meeting between His Royal Highness the Prince and you." Wangwang Bing reminded.

"Yeah!" Jiang Yi strode forward, wearing a huge black robe with a hood.

The boy with long blond hair turned around in the cave.

"Ying, are you okay?"

Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows. After they met, Kong's first sentence made him feel unexpected but reasonable.

If I don’t ask my sister, would I ask you, Zero Seven?

"Not bad." Jiang Yi talked about Ying's sadness and grievance, as well as her subsequent excitement.

Kong listened quietly, occasionally asking about Ying's daily life and the dangers she encountered.

The two of them, one a hero of Mondstadt and Liyue, and the other a prince of the abyss, were chatting about family matters here.

Unfortunately, family chores also have to come to an end.

"Did you take the 'Reversed Idol of Filth' away?" Kong looked at Jiang Yi with his golden-brown eyes, his voice flat, as if to confirm.

"Why do you ask?" Jiang Yi did not say yes or no, but asked back.

The Abyss Cult must have returned to that secret realm to check, but they were able to confirm that the statue was destroyed and then fell into the void and disappeared, or was it taken away by me?

If the Abyss can steal the first statue, it must have a way to steal the second statue. In Jiang Yi's opinion, compared with the uniqueness of "the world's first eye of a tiller", the "reversed statue of filth" may not be that important.

Dain rushed out regardless of anything. Did he think of this, or was he reckless and impulsive, so he didn't destroy the statue?

In other words, it is not easy to destroy this statue that embodies the surging energy of the abyss by ordinary means.

The sudden outbreak of the battle left him no time to react.

Seeing that Jiang Yi was unwilling to talk, Kong also gave up the idea of ​​asking: "You should have found out some of the plans of our Abyss Cult. I don't want to ask about your position, but I will not allow you to hurt Ying."

"If the statue is in your hands... you don't have Kanreya's skills, so you are doomed to fail in completing the Mechanical Demon God."

"I am willing to cooperate with you, which is not what you said to the Abyss Mage."

"You are a person who came to this world, but your destiny is not in this world..."

"Now, you seem to have become Ying's good friend, so I came to meet you."

"This sword of advent is a gift between you and me."

"You can keep it for yourself or give it to Ying."
