"Yuanbao has agreed to my request. I plan to go and restore my old friend's sanity before tomorrow. Feng Yi, what do you think?"
Zhong Li planned to leave the Serenitea Pot later and scout the area below the South Heaven Gate to ensure everything was foolproof.
"Since Yuanbao has agreed, I respect her choice. I will accompany her to look after her then..."
Feng Yi nodded. If the 'Tuozigē' could be saved, not only would the 'Feishi Incident' three years later be avoided, but more importantly, a top-tier ally could be gained.
"Very well, the contract is made. I will pick you up tomorrow! I shall take my leave for today!"
Zhong Li nodded and then vanished like a stream of light.
"Feng Yi, I have benefited greatly from our hot spring trip today. The golden bell you entrusted me with to keep safe is now returned to its rightful owner. I will see you tomorrow!"
After returning the golden bell to Feng Yi, Xiao also vanished like a stream of light.
Not long after, Xiangling, Yanfei, Yun Jin, and others also bid farewell and left.
As they were leaving, Yanfei invited Feng Yi to visit her home sometime, as she had something good to share with him.
Feng Yi said he would visit if he had the chance.
Feng Yi then returned to the male bathing area and relaxed in the hot spring. After three consecutive battles today, his tired kidneys needed a good rest.
Unexpectedly, Ganyu secretly slipped over from the female bathing area, saying she was there to help Feng Yi scrub his back and give him a massage.
Kidneys: Beep boop beep~ Energy critical, requesting support from Golden Bear Paws!
Golden Bear Paws: Headquarters received! Headquarters received! En route to support!
With the enhancement of the Golden Bear Paws, Feng Yi successfully defeated the formidable enemy. Holding Ganyu, he lay in the hot spring, gently swaying with the ripples of the water.
"Ganyu, I've made plans. Next spring, I will leave Liyue and begin my journey anew. My next destination is Mondstadt, which is adjacent to Liyue..."
Feng Yi said suddenly, embracing Ganyu, whose skin was smooth and tender.
Not much time was left before his departure.
However, this journey was very necessary. He had to go to Mondstadt to find Albedo and learn some basic alchemy knowledge to enrich his persona.
At the very least, when he impersonated an alchemist in the future, he wouldn't reveal any flaws due to a lack of relevant foundational knowledge.
Upon hearing Feng Yi's words, Ganyu's body suddenly tensed. She then hugged Feng Yi tightly, not wanting to part with him...
But the considerate Ganyu knew this was Feng Yi's pursuit, and she couldn't hinder him.
Leaving behind more beautiful memories in the limited time was a more meaningful endeavor.
Thinking this, Ganyu's lips involuntarily dripped with saliva...
(As for whether it was her upper lips or lower lips, those who understand will understand. For those who don't, I've said it, and you should understand by now?)
Kidneys after several battles: Not again?! Ammunition running low, requesting support from Golden Bear Paws!
Golden Bear Paws: Please hold on! Support is on the way!
About half an hour later, Feng Yi, leaning against the wall, saw Ganyu out of the hot spring pool and waved goodbye.
Afterward, Ningguang and Keqing also bid farewell to Feng Yi due to work matters.
After helping Yuanbao roast a rabbit that had been on a hunger strike, Feng Yi, along with Hu Tao, left the Serenitea Pot, returned to his bed, and fell asleep.
He had overexerted himself today and was utterly exhausted.
He didn't even notice when Hu Tao helped him change his clothes.
Feng Yi slept from that evening until the next morning, only then did he slowly wake up.
Haa~
Feng Yi sat up, yawned, and stretched. Apart from a slight discomfort in his kidneys and an empty stomach, it was another energetic day.
Feng Yi moved aside the arms and legs that were draped over him, kissed Hu Tao's rosy cheek, rolled out of bed, tucked her in, and went to wash up himself, letting Hu Tao sleep in a bit longer.
"Mmm~ Feng Yi, is it morning already?"
Hu Tao rubbed her sleepy eyes and said lazily, looking at Feng Yi, who was bringing the washbasin to the bedside.
"Hurry and wash your face. I'll help you comb your hair later!"
Feng Yi saw that Hu Tao's hair was messy, which indicated how restless she was when sleeping.
"Hiss~ So cold, so cold >_<"
Hu Tao chuckled, sat up, and dipped her little hands into the washbasin, immediately shivering from the cold.
The lingering sleepiness vanished instantly.
Feng Yi put down the washbasin, came behind Hu Tao, and helped her tie her hair.
With the chores taken care of, Feng Yi brought Hu Tao to the familiar teahouse, where Zhong Li was already waiting.
Today, Feng Yi ordered a double portion of buns to reward his valiant kidneys from yesterday's battles.
Kidneys: Please replace the buns with leek filling. That stuff is quite fortifying!
Feng Yi: That's called a leek pancake!
However, the shopkeeper informed Feng Yi that the teahouse didn't have that ingredient.
Feng Yi had no choice but to give up and angrily ate sixty baskets of buns.
After breakfast, Feng Yi completed his daily martial arts training at Wangshu Inn, and then found Zhong Li, who was listening to music at Yuesheng Tea House.
As agreed, it was time to rescue the "worn-out" Tuozigē!
Led by Zhong Li, Feng Yi arrived at the sealing location of the Osial Dragon King – the South Heaven Gate.
"This is where the final battle between me and Osial took place. If Osial hadn't still harbored good intentions and remembered his promise to protect Liyue, the seal wouldn't have been so easily completed. Feng Yi, call Yuanbao out. I'll take you down!"
Zhong Li looked at the Sky Lift Tree beside him, faintly recalling the earth-shattering battle that raged from the Chasm all the way here.
At the last moment, the good intentions of the Osial Dragon King prevailed, and he voluntarily restrained his power, allowing Zhong Li to successfully seal him.
Today, Zhong Li came to end it all.
Feng Yi nodded and summoned Yuanbao from the Serenitea Pot.
"Daddy, Grandpa Zhong Li, Yuanbao is ready!"
Yuanbao grinned, it was time to make some money.
"Excellent, follow me!"
Zhong Li led the way, and a staircase automatically extended downwards from his feet, leading to the sealing grounds of the Osial Dragon King.
Roar, roar, roar~
Even before reaching the depths, a violent dragon's roar was heard, filled with endless rage and dissatisfaction.
Continuing down for tens of meters, they entered a vast, open space.
Feng Yi and Yuanbao followed Zhong Li into a brightly lit cavern.
In the center of the cavern lay a colossal creature sealed by stone pillars.
Its body was like a mountain range, and its gleaming dragon horns exuded an oppressive aura.
However, its pair of violent red eyes sent shivers down one's spine.
"Morax, you've come at the right time... It's time to settle everything! Roar~"
The Osial Dragon King's violent red eyes stared intently at Zhong Li, ignoring Feng Yi and Yuanbao beside him.
It was as if, in its world, only Morax could capture its attention.
"Old friend, it's been a long time. Sealing you here was not my intention..."
