In the past few days.
Su Xuan's diary content did not continue to update with actual events; most of it was landscape photos from Mondstadt to Liyue.
However, it also brought certain information and intelligence to many Ladies.
Su Xuan, Lumine, and Paimon's route was the official road from Mondstadt to Liyue.
Starting from the official road in front of Dawn Winery, they passed through Stone Gate, Dihua Marsh, Wangshu Inn, Guili Plains, and finally arrived at Liyue Harbor.
Dihua Marsh, misty and rainy.
Su Xuan and his companions were enveloped in a shimmering aura, strolling in the rain.
"The effect of Psychokinesis is truly amazing. When it covers you, it's naturally waterproof!" Paimon wiggled his arm.
Lumine curved her lips into a faint smile, looking at Su Xuan.
Honestly, traveling with Su Xuan was incredibly enjoyable.
No wonder he said he didn't even need Mora in his life.
All sorts of delicious food and drinks were constantly available from him.
Bedding, pillows, clothes, and even bathing supplies were all readily available.
He was simply a magical treasure chest.
However, on the way from Mondstadt to Liyue, Lumine would wonder every night before sleeping if Su Xuan would take the opportunity to launch a night attack on her.
After waiting for several nights, she didn't sleep well, and the dreaded night attack never came.
The more she thought about it, the more something felt off. Could it be that this man felt she wasn't as charming as the girls in Mondstadt, and she wasn't his type?
"There's a Statue of The Seven over there." Su Xuan pointed to the distance.
Su Xuan's sudden voice interrupted Ying Mei's wild thoughts. She looked in the direction Su Xuan was pointing.
Unlike the Anemo God's Statue of The Seven in Mondstadt.
The Geo God's Statue of The Seven in Liyue depicted the Geo God in an exceptionally arrogant sitting posture.
Paimon and Lumine stared, then couldn't help but say, "Lord Rex Lapis's sitting posture feels too arrogant. How did he suddenly turn into a societal slacker?"
"Hmm... the erosion of time, perhaps..." Su Xuan replied with a faint smile, then nudged Lumine, "Don't just think about useless things; go get the power you're meant to have."
Upon touching the Statue of The Seven, Lumine, just like last time in Mondstadt, easily acquired the Geo element.
Her entire demeanor elevated another notch.
The golden-haired Damselette became even more beautiful and captivating.
"Oh, right, Boss, I want to ask you something." Lumine suddenly looked at Su Xuan with curiosity, "Have you touched a Statue of The Seven?"
"Can you also acquire elemental power by touching a Statue of The Seven, just like me?"
"Just call me Su Xuan." Su Xuan shook his head, "I really can't. It might be due to the difference in our physiques."
Speaking of which, Su Xuan, on a whim, recorded his current thoughts.
[Speaking of Ying Mei's uniqueness, first, she can do what no one else can: acquire elemental power just by touching a Statue of The Seven.]
[Even I can't do that.]
[I think perhaps this is related to her inherent uniqueness. Where is she unique?]
[Lumine and her blood brother, Aether, both can receive energy.]
[To put it bluntly, Ying Mei herself is a giant energy receiver.]
[Just as Aether became a vessel for Abyssal energy after being manipulated by Irmin, his function is to constantly receive power from the Abyss.]
[This is also why Lumine can purify the Abyss; rather than purifying it, it's more accurate to say she absorbs the power of the Abyss.]
[After I dealt with the Dvalin incident in Mondstadt, I once, on a whim, touched a Statue of The Seven and found that I couldn't acquire elemental power.]
[What I acquired was the creation theory of the Statue of The Seven: that thing is just an energy receiver linked to the Ley Lines.]
[No wonder only she can teleport through the Statue of The Seven.]
[It turns out she has the same attributes as the Statue of The Seven.]
[Hmm... Ying Meizi is a mobile Statue of The Seven...]
Lumine: "..."
Even though you're my sugar daddy, can you please not suddenly make me speechless?
What do you mean I'm a mobile Statue of The Seven?
[Oh, since I brought up the theoretical information of the Statue of The Seven in my possession.]
[I have to talk about the Ley Lines.]
[I can detect the intricate Ley Lines buried deep underground through my Psychokinesis.]
[When I was in Dragonspine, I touched the broken silver ancient tree. Unfortunately, the remnants and branches of the Ley Lines couldn't allow me to fully grasp their theory.]
[To understand the theory of the Ley Lines, it seems I'll have to wait until I go to Sumeru and directly touch the Irminsul buried beneath Sumeru.]
[Gnosis, Vision, Irminsul...]
[All that's left is the Fake Sky above, which reflects the constellations.]
[Then I'll be able to obtain the complete operating program of Teyvat's world order.]
[As long as I can find an abandoned planet, I can create a world exactly like Teyvat for myself.]
[Or rather, I can use the Irminsul, Gnosis, Vision, and Fake Sky that I've conceptualized to overlay Teyvat.]
[Then, I will become the order controller of this world.]
All the Ladies: "!?"
[However, becoming an order controller is very boring and very tiring.]
[I find even participating in the management of a single nation tiresome, let alone an entire world.]
[I was just saying it.]
All the Ladies did not breathe a sigh of relief because of this.
According to Su Xuan, the entire order of Teyvat seemed to be a technological system built around the Irminsul Ley Lines, the Vision, and the Fake Sky.
As long as one thoroughly studies the theoretical knowledge of these existences, one can create the current order of Teyvat.
This... means that as long as Su Xuan is willing, with the Authority of Reason in his hands, he can replace Heavenly Principles in minutes?
Lumine and Paimon's eyes widened.
Isn't this a huge deal!
They originally thought their sugar daddy was just incomprehensibly powerful, but it turns out he can steal the existence of the entire world in minutes.
They absolutely must find a way to firmly cling to this powerful figure.
"Oh, right!" Lumine suddenly exclaimed, "I remember your Authority of Reason can construct life forms through DNA information, can't it?"
"That means the Authority of Reason can even understand living beings."
"Were you doing something I didn't know about while I was sleeping at night?"
Su Liangzai, facing Lumine's question, stared wide-eyed in surprise.
Then he laughed, "Regarding you, I don't need to do any research to know."
"After all, it's not too secretive."
"But I advise you not to falsely accuse me. If you do, then I might have to make it a reality."
Ying Mei's pretty face instantly flushed red.
She couldn't help but clamp her thighs together and mumbled, "Who's afraid of whom?"
Su: "?"
"What are you mumbling about over there?"
"Nothing."
The two exchanged questions back and forth.
Paimon suddenly shouted, pointing to a towering building in the distance: "Look, what's that!"
"Finally, we see a complete building."
"That's Wangshu Inn, a place for merchants traveling to and from Liyue to rest," Su Xuan explained.
"So that means they definitely offer food and accommodation here?" Paimon followed up.
Seeing Su Xuan nod, Paimon immediately exclaimed excitedly: "Let's hurry and experience it."
"You two go first, I might have something to deal with," Su Xuan looked into the distance.
Paimon and Lumine looked over at the same time.
In the rain, a person with a single umbrella was walking towards them.
"Is there a problem?" Lumine's gaze sharpened slightly.
Due to the weather, Lumine hadn't encountered any travelers on her journey.
The sudden appearance of a person did feel strange.
Of course, it wasn't strange in itself, but the key was that the direction Su Xuan was looking was precisely the direction that person was coming from.
That couldn't help but make one vigilant.
Sure enough, when the person approached Su Xuan and the others, she stopped.
She lowered the umbrella in her hand.
A beautiful woman with bangs appeared before everyone.
Her green eyes and red lips were adorned with purple makeup, and she was tall and slender.
She wore a blue and white leather outfit, matching her hair color, with the top, bottom, and boots all connected.
She wore many accessories, such as a pearl bracelet on her left hand and a pair of white jade and sapphire earrings.
A dice hung from the woman's collar.
Her whole demeanor gave off a mysterious aura; just from the feeling, one sensed that the woman in front of them was very dangerous.
"She is..." As Lumine spoke to Su Xuan, her body had already taken a step forward, standing in front of Su Xuan.
Paimon looked left and right, her expression bewildered, wondering why she suddenly felt such an intense, tense atmosphere.
"It's fine, you two go to Wangshu Inn to rest with Paimon."
"Don't wait for me. Once you've rested, go straight to Liyue Harbor, and we'll meet there," Su Xuan patted Lumine's shoulder.
Lumine was stunned.
She certainly wasn't worried about Su Xuan's life safety; after all, in this world, it seemed no one could pose a so-called life-threatening danger to the person in front of her.
But leaving her boss behind and running off, was that really okay?
"Is this... okay?" Lumine turned and asked: "Leaving the boss and we run away?"
Su Xuan waved his hand: "Go on, go on. I'll just ask her what she means by suddenly blocking the way here."
Lumine nodded at his words, greeted Paimon, and the two walked towards Wangshu Inn first.
After the two left, Su Xuan looked directly at Yelan: "Did Ningguang send you?"
"Don't make it sound like I'm her subordinate." Yelan spread her free arm, her voice indifferent with a hint of hoarseness: "She and I..."
"It's a cooperative relationship, or rather, a transaction."
"However, since you think Ningguang sent me, it seems you know about the existence of Diary Copy Holders."
Su Xuan nodded noncommittally: "I've encountered many. If I still didn't know, would I be an idiot?"
"You said I think Ningguang sent you, so your appearance here isn't Ningguang's intention?"
Yelan nodded: "It's out of my own volition. I wanted to experience firsthand what kind of different feeling it would bring to approach you..."
Su Liangzai was a bit bewildered for a moment, unable to understand what this queen-like woman in front of him wanted to express.
"I thought since you know us so well, you should be able to guess my true intention for coming here."
Seeing Su Xuan fall silent, Yelan specifically added a sentence, hoping to prompt him to think.
Su Xuan propped his chin, and after two seconds of thought, the rain in the sky suddenly stopped.
Yelan looked up slightly, only to realize that the sky was now enveloped in a faint, visible energy barrier.
The pebbles at her feet had, at some point, floated into the air, slowly moving to Su Xuan's front.
"I've set up a Psychokinesis barrier within this specific range."
"Now, only the two of us are in this area."
Su Xuan beckoned, and the pebble floating in front of him slowly came into his hand. He chuckled and said: "I remember a saying: 'Ordinary food can no longer awaken the taste buds of someone addicted to spice; only spicy dishes can make her happy.'"
"This saying describes you, doesn't it?"
"Yelan, the mysterious, unlisted intelligence worker of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"Compared to a bland life, you prefer work that walks on the edge of danger, enjoying the immense achievement of conquering crises."
"But from what I know of you, you shouldn't be someone without a brain. Do you think you can conquer a dangerous existence like me?"
Yelan looked at the glowing pebble in Su Xuan's hand, and for some reason, an infinite tension suddenly rose in her heart.
But it was precisely this tension that made her feel as if her heart was churning with stormy waves, unable to calm down.
She swallowed and said: "Of course, with your power, I would never think I could conquer you. I just wanted to experience, through you, that kind of insurmountable danger."
Su Xuan: "?"
Hmm... so she wants to be abused.
"Could it be that your personality is like your preference, addicted to pain?"
Yelan is like that. 400
Pain excites her.
She likes the dull ache when pressing a bruise and the stinging sensation when herbal medicine is applied to a wound.
Even during some more painful treatment processes, she doesn't mind whether anesthetics are used.
Such stimulation brings an infinitely comfortable feeling to her body and mind.
"At least I believe you wouldn't take my life for a reason like this..."
"I mean, I am also a Diary Copy Holder, and my reason for coming to see you is not to harm you or disrespect you."
"I just want to get close and experience your danger..."
"I think, you, being reasonable, should understand this thought of mine..."
Boom!
No sooner had Yelan finished speaking than she felt a gust of wind brush past her cheek, followed by a roar from behind her.
The ground beneath her feet trembled three times.
"How is it? Don't you want to turn around and see what happened?" Su Xuan's voice drifted leisurely into her ear.
Yelan was inexplicably drenched in cold sweat; perhaps she had already guessed what was behind her.
She mechanically turned around to look, and not far behind her, a bottomless chasm had appeared in the ground.
"Is this... the terrifying power brought by Psychokinesis...?"
Yelan suddenly felt her legs go weak.
This wasn't so-called danger, but... fear...
"To be honest, this is the first time I've encountered a request like yours," Su Xuan's indifferent voice came from behind her: "But there's one thing, Yelan."
"The reason you crave danger is because its uncertainty deeply attracts you."
"Just like the dice on your neck, the moment it's thrown, whether the result is big or small."
"You're gambling, enjoying the thrill the outcome brings you."
"For example, every time you encounter danger, whether you can successfully survive, that outcome excites you."
"So, if you decide from the beginning that I won't kill you, then it's no fun, is it?"
Yelan: "!?"
Before Yelan could react, a pebble suddenly flew, directly hitting her exposed fair arm.
Instantly, Yelan felt a pain as if her arm had been pierced, and her entire arm felt drained of strength, too painful to lift.
"Since you want to experience danger, Yelan, you should be running now..."
"I've already set up a Psychokinesis barrier, which is equivalent to creating a playground for you and me."]}
"Don't worry, I won't use Psychokinesis to pinpoint your location. You can use all your skills to evade my pursuit."
"If you haven't been caught by me in ten minutes, then you've conquered this danger that could cost you your life at any moment."
"How about that? I'm being very generous, giving you the chance to experience the satisfaction of conquering danger."
"So, cherish it. I'll give you fifteen seconds to escape. Once I catch you, your life will be in my hands."
"This aligns perfectly with Liyue's national conditions: a transaction..."
