Chapter 35 - Ch. 35

Baizhu informed Yelan and the others that Mu Qingge needed rest, so they did not enter.

Yelan stayed for a short while and then left; she still had things to attend to and could only return later.

Inside the room.

Mu Qingge lay quietly on the bed, deep in slumber, her complexion much rosier.

Although she was also seriously injured in the battle with Anqi, the most severe injury was from Osial's subsequent attack.

The shield she conjured by exhausting all her elemental power and stamina, and the backlash after it was broken was quite significant.

Jiang Mumu's consciousness was currently not in this body, but in Anqi's body on the other side.

Anqi and Mu Qingge's injuries were similar, but Anqi did not have the subsequent battle with Osial; she began to recuperate after returning with her brother, Tartaglia.

Therefore, she did not fall unconscious.

Bang~

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Anqi inside immediately opened her eyes, looking vigilantly.

"Rosalyne?"

"Go, leave with me immediately."

"What's wrong?"

Anqi frowned, her face very pale, looking bloodless.

"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't want to be caught by the Qixing and thrown into prison, then hurry up and leave."

Rosalyne's tone was as arrogant as ever.

Anqi was silent for two seconds, then began to slowly move her feet, but at this moment, she was truly too weak; she stumbled and almost fell to the ground after just one step.

Anqi only felt herself fall into a soft embrace and couldn't help but look up.

Rosalyne clicked her tongue: "How troublesome."

However, despite her words, Rosalyne gently helped Anqi out the door.

"Where's my brother?"

"Him? He went to clean up the mess for you."

Cough, cough~

The short few steps aggravated Anqi's internal injuries, and she uncontrollably coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

At this moment, Anqi had taken off her mysterious silver mask, revealing her stunningly beautiful face, capable of toppling nations.

Rosalyne supported her by the shoulder, heading towards the location of the Fatui's ship.

"Do you and that person really have such deep enmity?"

Both of them were acting as if they didn't care about their lives, wishing they could fight to the death, which was completely illogical.

Logically, these two should have never met before.

"She hurt my brother."

Anqi's answer was simple, and the reason made Rosalyne pause in surprise.

"Just because of that?"

"Is that not enough?"

"Heh, if you say it's enough, then it's enough." Rosalyne sneered, no longer asking, but an inexplicable meaning flashed in her eyes inadvertently.

The Fatui's large ship was docked far from the previous battle's center, and because the Fatui's speed was fast enough, the Millelith had not received any news before Anqi and her companions boarded the ship.

"Signora, Anqi."

The Fatui soldiers on the ship respectfully saluted the two.

Although Anqi was not one of the Fatui Harbingers, her status was no lower than a Harbinger.

Not to mention that she was Childe's biological younger sister, the Captain's most capable assistant/adjutant.

It was said that the Cryo Archon had previously considered promoting her to a Harbinger, but for some unknown reason, it was not carried out in the end.

Rosalyne handed Anqi over to Anqi's personal Mirror Maiden and turned to the other Fatui, saying:

"Leave this place quickly and return to Snezhnaya."

"Yes!"

---

Ailina was a child of the House of the Hearth, and after leaving the House of the Hearth, she became a Mirror Maiden.

Later, Anqi took a liking to her, and Ailina followed Anqi, becoming her personal attendant.

She was tall and well-built, perfectly embodying the image of a royal guard.

For convenience during the previous operation, Anqi had left her on the ship.

"Lady, what's wrong? Who injured you like this?"

Ailina's eyes were filled with worry and anger; although she was nominally an attendant, and Anqi was not very talkative, their relationship was actually more like sisters.

Hmm, the kind of sister where she was the older one.

Anqi was gently picked up by Ailina, and the princess carry pose made her mouth twitch uncontrollably.

"Put, put me down, I can walk myself."

Ailina was obedient and gently put Anqi down, supporting her from the side.

This injury was severe for Anqi, but in fact, it was nothing; she only needed to spend some emotional feedback value to heal instantly.

However, Anqi would not do that; for the sake of everything being perfect, she would rather suffer a bit.

This identity would be offline for a short period next, as the Mondstadt plan was about to begin.

But just as Anqi had finished her medicine and lay down, preparing to rest, a figure suddenly arrived on the roof of her room.

The sound of tiles quickly alerted Anqi.

"Who?!"

"What's wrong?" Ailina rushed in.

Anqi pointed to the roof, and before Ailina could look, the roof instantly broke open, and a teal figure dropped down.

Ailina reacted quickly; almost at that instant, she formed hand seals, and an ice flower appeared at the teal figure's feet.

The small teal figure moved even faster, flashing out of the ice flower's range, then counter-attacked with a spear, and the violent Anemo power shattered the entire ice flower.

The spear's momentum did not diminish, attacking Ailina.

Anqi finally couldn't stand it and forcefully conjured an ice shield to block in front of Ailina.

The ice shield shattered, and Anqi also violently spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

Her method of earning emotional feedback was a bit inhumane, but other than her own death, she was unwilling to harm others' lives because of herself.

This was her bottom line, but the premise was that these people were good people.

"Lady!"

Ailina immediately stepped forward, blocking in front of Anqi, her eyes vigilantly fixed on the small teal figure.

"Conqueror of Demons!"

Anqi was quite surprised; she didn't expect him to be able to catch up even after she had run all the way here.

Xiao was slightly surprised; although he was Liyue's Yaksha, many people in Liyue did not necessarily recognize him.

The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of others, but the first one to arrive was surprisingly Signora, which surprised Anqi a bit.

The Fair Lady looked at the situation on the scene: "Liyue's Yaksha, isn't it too rude to come uninvited like this? What, did Morax not teach you what politeness is?"

As expected, Signora was still Signora; her mouth was still very foul.

From Anqi's perspective, the Signora's right hand, placed behind her back, had already gathered a lot of Cryo power, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.

Anqi's eyebrow twitched; was this lady always so brave?

Now that she was injured, if she fought Xiao, could she win?

She would definitely die, right?!

Anqi stepped forward and pressed Signora's hand, gently shaking her head when the lady looked over.

Xiao coldly glanced at Signora, then looked back at Anqi:

"By the order of the Geo Archon, I am to bring back the person who injured the Qixing. Will you come with me, or shall I take you?"

Take?

Perhaps this 'take' is not the same as the 'take' I imagine?

Anqi was not flustered; she had considered such an outcome, and there were many solutions.

But Ailina and Signora did not know; Ailina was ready to act at any moment, and so was Signora; she was confident that she could easily handle this small figure.

Seeing that Anqi did not speak, Xiao understood her answer, and the elemental power around him surged, preparing to apprehend Anqi.

But just then, footsteps approached.

Anqi heard the familiar footsteps, stopped her forward step, and pulled back.

Xiao also looked towards the door.

"Regarding everything Anqi has done in your nation, I am deeply sorry. I will compensate your nation for this matter, and I hope this adeptus will be lenient."

The magnetic voice was very distinctive.

Xiao could feel the strong oppressive presence from the other party and immediately understood that this person was not simple.

Looking around, Xiao did not speak, but the violent elemental power receded.

Xiao was not afraid, but the situation was now unfavorable for him, and a forced attack would likely result in a loss.

Moreover, the order the Geo Archon gave him was: retrieve the price they should pay, and if possible, bring back the person who acted; if not, then you shall return.

Previously, Xiao did not know what the Geo Archon meant by 'if not,' but now it seemed that the Geo Archon might have known all of this in advance.

The Geo Archon's words must have had a deeper meaning.
