It turned out that after Collei left the farm, Arkz woke Xing up, who was still sound asleep.
"Wake up quickly!"
"Collei is in trouble!"
"Wha—!!!"
Hearing that Collei was in trouble, Xing, who was blowing snot bubbles the second before, immediately shot up with a carp flip.
"Bang!"
"Ouch!"
Looking at the ceiling cracked by Xing's head, Arkz sighed helplessly.
"The clone's personality is too accurate; I don't know if that's a good thing."
"Collei, what happened to Collei?"
"What happened to her?!!"
Looking at Xing clutching her head, Arkz explained:
"Collei snuck out of the farm just now; she must have gone to Mondstadt City to cause trouble for the Fatui."
"I'm worried she might get into trouble, so you follow her and keep an eye on her."
Hearing Arkz say this, Xing breathed a sigh of relief and complained:
"Then why did you have to make such a fuss!"
"I thought something really happened to Collei!"
"Pay me back my head!"
Looking at Xing throwing a tantrum while pointing at the lump on her head, Arkz sighed helplessly.
"Here you go."
"farm teleport totem!"
"Hurry up and go; Collei has already run far ahead."
"If you wait any longer, you won't catch up."
Watching Xing leave, Arkz shook his head, turned around, and went back inside to sleep.
"These days, they really give me endless worries!"
Bang!
The memory ended.
Xing blocked the spear thrust by Rosaria with her baseball bat.
Looking at the heroic and spirited Rosaria under the moonlight, Xing couldn't help but start flirting.
"Hey beautiful, the moon is so nice tonight, how about we go have a drink together?"
"Bang!"
"Beautiful, are you cold!"
"Bang!"
"Beautiful, what's your name?"
"Bang!"
"..."
Rosaria frowned, holding her spear, and looked at Xing in front of her.
Although she hadn't used her full strength in her previous attacks, she had used about seventy percent of her power.
The person in front of her could easily block her attacks.
And still have the mood to flirt.
Rosaria estimated that even if she used all her strength, she wouldn't be able to take her down.
When did so many masters appear in Mondstadt City?
Just now there was the fire snake, and now this strange fellow holding a hilichurl wooden club as a weapon.
"What is your purpose?"
Rosaria's question made Xing pause.
"Purpose?"
"To stop you from chasing Collei."
However, even if Xing wasn't smart, she wouldn't tell the truth at this moment.
So Xing smiled and said:
"Of course, it's because I want to dance with you under the moonlight."
Rosaria looked deeply at Xing.
Then she silently turned and left.
"Hey, you're leaving already!"
"Leave your contact information!"
Watching Rosaria leave, Xing yawned.
She was still a baby who hadn't reached her full month, yet she had to carry out a mission at night.
What if she doesn't get enough sleep and doesn't grow taller!
Estimating that Collei was already on her way back to the farm, Xing chuckled and took out the farm teleport totem from her embrace.
...
Creak.
Collei quietly pushed open the wooden door.
The creaking sound of the wooden door made Collei's heart jump into her throat.
She hadn't been this nervous even when sneaking into a hotel to assassinate a Fatui envoy.
"Don't wake up, please don't wake up."
Collei prayed silently.
Perhaps some God heard Collei's prayer, because Xing didn't wake up until Collei closed the door again and lay down on the bed.
"Hoo~ hoo~"
Hearing Xing's snoring, Collei felt inexplicably reassured.
During the day, she helped with delivery runs; at night, she assassinated Fatui members and led Diluc through half the city. Collei was already exhausted. She lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep within a few seconds.
But before Collei fell asleep, she vaguely seemed to hear Xing's muffled laughter.
"Hehe~"
Looking at Xing covering her mouth and secretly laughing, the demon god remnant inside Collei silently shrank its body.
"There are still masters here!"
The demon god remnant just realized that this silly person beside Collei was actually so powerful.
Xing climbed off the bed and slowly walked to Collei's bedside.
The sound of Xing's footsteps echoed in the wooden house.
"Step!"
"Step!"
Every step seemed to land on the demon god remnant's little heart.
"Little thing inside Collei."
"Protect Collei well."
"I can promise to create a body for you."
"If Collei gets hurt, you know the consequences~~"
Looking at Xing waving the hilichurl wooden club, the demon god remnant inside Collei nodded vigorously, afraid that if it was a step too slow, it would be killed by the fierce person in front of her.
Seeing the demon god remnant being so sensible, Xing nodded in satisfaction.
To be honest, the demon god remnant actually developing wisdom was a bit unexpected for Arkz.
The previous demon god remnant was berserk, possessing only the desire to destroy.
There was no possibility of appeasement; it could only be destroyed.
However, unexpectedly, because Collei didn't want to lose the power for revenge, the demon god remnant repeatedly swung between being killed and surviving.
They say there is great terror between life and death; look, even a remnant of a God could develop intelligence.
With intelligence came the desire to survive.
With the desire to survive came a weakness, a possibility of being controlled.
Perhaps in the future, Collei could also have a Koryanba of extraordinary origin accompanying her.
Just like how Xiangling has the Kitchen God Guoba with her.
Watching Xing leave, the demon god remnant inside Collei let out a long sigh.
Although its power was extremely weak at this moment, and its condition was terrible—if it left Collei's body, even a gust of wind could blow it away.
But it still possessed the eyesight of its time as a God!
The power fluctuation on that gray-haired girl was clearly at the God level!
If it previously had the idea of seizing Collei's body, then now it had completely backed down.
Precisely because it was once a God, it clearly understood how powerful a powerhouse of this level was.
Looking at Collei, who was completely unaware that she had latched onto a powerful backer and was still snoring soundly, the demon god remnant closed its eyes enviously.
Collei latched onto a powerful backer—it latched onto Collei's thigh = it latched onto a powerful backer's thigh!
Thinking of this, the demon god remnant felt extremely excited.
Perhaps what that powerhouse just said about helping it find a new body was not a lie!
Although it was once a powerhouse at the God level, the demon god remnant was very self-aware.
It was just a tiny remnant of a God.
It was powerful in front of mortals.
But in front of a powerhouse at the God level, it was trash.
A God powerhouse could blow it away with a casual breath.
Therefore, the demon god remnant knelt down very decisively and very cautiously.
The next day.
Collei woke up.
"Good morning, Demoiselle."
Hearing the sickly sweet voice of the demon god remnant inside her, Collei felt a chill.
"Something's wrong, extremely wrong!"
