We Found Yelan Without Clothes

"Let's go, let's continue our journey."

Unable to figure out why these Black Serpent Knights had come, Bai Ye and the others could only continue their journey.

They continued forward, until they reached the final crossroads of an Abyss. The Debt Collector shrugged and said to Bai Ye, "Young man, my abilities only extend this far. Beyond this point, I truly have no further capacity."

"Hmm." Bai Ye nodded, then took out some grain from his Serenitea Pot.

"Take this grain back with you; it should be enough for you to eat for a while."

"Yes, thank you."

The Debt Collector nodded.

He took the food and prepared to leave. However, before leaving, the Debt Collector asked Bai Ye one more question.

"By the way, young man, seeing your abilities, Her Majesty the Tsaritsa would surely treat you well if you joined our Fatui."

Bai Ye smiled but didn't say anything.

The Queen of Snezhnaya is not quite qualified to recruit him as her subordinate.

Seeing that Bai Ye had no face, the Debt Collector of the Fatui knew that Bai Ye was unwilling to join the Fatui and could only leave.

After seeing the Fatui Debt Collector leave, Hu Tao couldn't help but burst into laughter. "That guy actually wanted you to join the Fatui. If they knew that you, Bai Ye, were actually the culprit who caused the destruction of the entire Liyue Fatui, I wonder what kind of expression they would have."

Bai Ye shrugged and didn't say anything more.

They prepared to move on.

Just then, Bai Ye saw a figure appear in front of the passage.

Are there enemies ahead?

Hu Tao held a long spear in his hand, eager to try it out.

Bai Ye blocked Hu Tao's path.

"Hu Tao, don't rush. I'll go check the situation first. They might be luring us in."

He is the strongest, and he also has the defense given to him by the Adepti, so even if an enemy attacks him, he will not be harmed.

Hu Tao wanted to retort, but at that moment Bai Ye had already rushed over.

Elemental wings activated, Adepti artifacts worn.

He also pulled out the Heavenly Principles' Sword.

Upon seeing Bai Ye's attire, the Abyssal Apostle felt a sense of panic.

He felt no disgust at all; upon seeing Bai Ye approaching, he only felt panic and fear.

The Abyssal Apostle was still somewhat confused about the fate that Prince Shi had given him.

He's an enemy of our Abyss Order. Why don't we just beat him up and kick him out of there?

Why bother going to all that trouble?

I only found out when we met.

The two sides were simply unable to fight.

"Damn it, this ability is something that none of us in the Abyss Order can fight normally against except for His Highness the Prince."

"This is what the Abyssal Apostle thought to himself."

Xingneng, he was only there to lure the enemy.

He activated the teleportation feature, teleporting Bai Ye to a distant location just as Bai Ye was about to arrive.

Bai Ye frowned when he saw him appear in the distance.

The footsteps stopped.

"How did that guy end up in such a faraway place?"

Hu Tao and the others caught up and asked Bai Ye.

"That guy is a member of the Abyss Order. He just used a teleportation device to escape my pursuit and then reappeared in the distance."

"Then why is he still staying over there? Is it to provoke us?"

Hu Tao looked at Bai Ye and asked.

"It shouldn't be that. He's probably trying to lure us somewhere. Is there an ambush there?"

Ayaka then spoke to Hu Tao.

"An ambush? Hmph, then we'll go over there right now and wipe them all out in one fell swoop, and see what they're up to."

"No, it shouldn't be an ambush," Yanfei said, offering a different opinion.

"That guy is intelligent. He saw that we had stopped, so he must have guessed that we might be lying in ambush ahead. In this situation, he would either leave and bring a large force to confront us head-on, or he would choose to give up and look for another opportunity. Neither of these two options did this Abyssal Apostle do; he just waited for us there. So he probably has something for us to see."

After saying all that, Yanfei added one more thing.

"At that time, perhaps they were just scheming to make us think that way, and then they did the opposite."

After speaking, she looked at Bai Ye, waiting for his decision.

Bai Ye thought for a moment, then said to everyone, "It's not that complicated. We don't need to overestimate the enemy's intelligence. If we think the enemy is a level above us in intelligence, then we won't be able to do anything."

"If you don't want to get hurt, just rush over and beat them to a pulp."

"Uh-huh."

Xiangling nodded vigorously.

This suits her taste perfectly.

Bai Ye and the others continued forward. After several more waits, the Abyssal Apostle finally allowed Bai Ye to get close to him.

Seeing that Bai Ye was approaching, the Abyssal Apostle realized that the location was about the same and immediately prepared to teleport away completely.

Just then, he saw a mechanical arm appear behind Bai Ye.

Is this an attempt to capture me?

The Abyssal Apostle couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

This arm increases the distance considerably; I can teleport, after all.

Just as he was about to teleport again, everything suddenly went black before his eyes.

The Seven Senses are stripped away.

He discovered that his Seven Senses had completely disappeared, and he could not see anything around him at all.

What's wrong with me?

The Abyssal Apostle wanted to move, but he didn't know which way to go.

In fact, his current activities are still heading in the direction of Bai Ye.

Bai Ye gripped his sword, preparing to subdue the Abyssal Apostle completely before questioning him about his motives for seducing him.

Just as his sword was about to strike, another portal opened around them.

Bai Ye saw a figure wearing a cloak and a bamboo hat appear, and he was holding a long sword in his hand.

Seeing Bai Ye swing his sword to attack the Abyssal Apostle, he immediately stepped in to block him.

He held his long sword horizontally, precisely to block the tip of Bai Ye's attack.

A sudden, powerful force struck, causing Bai Ye to momentarily pause.

Then he was knocked back and sent flying backward.

When he landed on the ground, his feet carved two very deep furrows.

"We're leaving now. The person you're looking for is downstairs."

The figure in black said this to Bai Ye.

His voice was low, making it impossible to discern what his voice actually sounded like.

He then activated the teleportation system and left with the Abyssal Apostle.

Bai Ye watched the departing figure.

Bai Ye Shi was clear about this person's identity.

Fan, Ying's older brother Kong.

If it weren't for him, no one in the Abyss Order would dare to fight him.

The power of the Abyss was completely countered by himself.

I gently shook my hand to try and ease the pain in my body.

Is this the power of the present-day Sky?

Although direct confrontation is not his forte, the exchange of blows between the two sides still demonstrates his strength.

How do you see it?

Bai Ye asked Guizhong Makoto and the others in the jade pendant.

He felt his judgment was lacking and needed professional help to answer his questions.

"Gods level, and a very high-level Gods level at that. Among the Seven Archons, only Zhongli can guarantee that he can be completely subdued. My sister and Barbatos and the others will not lose, but I estimate that it will be difficult for them to win. At the very least, they cannot stop him from leaving."

After thinking for Makoto answered Bai Ye in this way.

"Yeah, this guy is pretty strong. Even on the open sea, I doubt he'd be a match for him."

Osial said honestly.

Although that sword strike just now seemed ordinary, the power it contained was something that even the Gods found astonishing.

Bai Ye nodded.

Sora, leading the Abyss Order, was able to pull off something like this in Teyvat, so he must have something to rely on. Moreover, a year ago, he was able to hold his own against Tenri alongside Ying and Heavenly Principles.

Although its current Abyss state is not as powerful as it was back then, it must still have its unique advantages.

"Why did that guy escape?" Hu Tao watched the Abyss Order's retreat with great dissatisfaction.

Ayaka then walked to Bai Ye's side and asked him with concern, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

"No, he didn't kill him."

Bai Ye shook his head.

"So what should we do next? Should we follow his advice?"

Hu Tao turned to Bai Ye and asked.

Everyone looked at Bai Ye, waiting for his answer.

"Okay, let's go down. I know that guy; he won't lie to me easily."

Bai Ye spoke to the group.

As he said this, he prepared to jump, but before jumping, he thought for a moment and said to the others:

"Come on, it's a bit dangerous down there. Let's hold hands together to prevent us from getting separated when we fall."

Ayaka moved swiftly, grabbing Bai Ye's right hand in one swift motion.

She blushed instantly after grabbing Bai Ye's right hand.

Even in the Bai Ye, a feeling of fusion could be felt in Ayaka's palms, and Elemental Reaction had begun.

Meanwhile, Guoba's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he used his partially recovered Gods power to grab Xiangling's hand and place it on Bai Ye's left hand.

After doing all that, it gracefully performed a backflip in mid-air and landed on the ground.

Hu Tao was still watching the situation below when she turned her head and saw Bai Ye holding Ayaka's right hand and Xiangling's left hand, looking astonished.

"Holy crap!"

No, you guys are all this fast at taking action?

"I'll remember this grudge."

Hu Tao muttered to herself.

As for sneaking up behind Bai Ye, Hu Tao would never do something like that.

She reached out and grabbed Xiangling's hand.

Then, Yanfei grabbed Ayaka, then grabbed Kuki Shinobu, Hu Tao picked up Guoba with her other hand.

"It's time to lose weight, Guoba."

Feeling a sudden weight in her hand, Hu Tao complained to Guoba.

"I'm not fat, I'm recovering..."

Guoba couldn't help but retort when he heard Hu Tao's complaints.

At this moment, Bai Ye jumped down.

On the other side of the portal, the empty hand was also trembling slightly.

While Bai Ye's power was indeed far inferior to his own, the Abyss power within his body was indeed severely suppressed by Bai Ye, making him very uncomfortable.

"If we want to defeat Heavenly Principles, Bai Ye is an opponent we have to face. But we can't defeat him yet, so we can only use him like this."

Kong thought to himself.

At that moment, he remembered the last look Bai Ye had given him.

Did Bai Ye recognize me?

No, that's impossible.

My figure was so well concealed that no one could possibly recognize me.

Besides, Bai Ye and he didn't know each other at all, so he probably wouldn't recognize him, right?

Kong felt somewhat confused.

"Be careful, hold my hand tightly."

As he fell from mid-air, Bai Ye continued to remind the others.

Everyone held onto Bai Ye tightly.

As the Bai Ye deepened, Anemo Element unfolded, and Anemo Element wings appeared behind him.

The flapping of wings made everyone float in mid-air.

It continued to land on stable ground.

After landing on the ground, Hu Tao looked up at the sky and said to Bai Ye, "Ah!? Why did the sky above us disappear?"

"Because this isn't just below the cave entrance. This is another space."

Bai Ye said to Hu Tao.

"What's in this other space?"

"Yes, I came here to find Yelan. At the same time, I also want to find out about the situation of that Fushé Yaksha."

Bai Ye answered the others.

Xiao had helped him a lot in the past, and although Bai Ye rewarded him by absorbing the karma within his body, Bai Ye still felt it wasn't enough. He then checked on Fushé's condition.

Even if only his soul remains, he can be given a new body, just like in the Lady Guuji.

"Ah, there's no time to lose, let's continue."

Hu Tao immediately prepared to take action.

Yanfei looked around and said to the others, "This place is quite large, and it would take too long for us to move around together. How about we go ahead and act alone?"

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded.

My memory of the game is too old; I don't remember it very clearly. Besides, the real Teyvat is vastly different from the one in the game; the terrain is much larger.

Immediately, everyone began their operation.

Hu Tao had made preparations beforehand, and she immediately expressed her willingness to act together with Bai Ye.

Then the others joined the team.

Ayaka and Kuki Shinobu, who came from Inazuma, formed one team, while Xiangling and Yanfei, who were fellow students of Grandma Yu, formed another team.

They split into three teams and set off in three different directions.

Bai Ye and Hu Tao chose a direction and walked forward.

After walking for a while, Hu Tao suddenly spoke up and asked Bai Ye:

Is there nothing in this space?

"Yes, that should be it. Apart from the things they carry with them, they probably have nothing else."

Bai Ye looked around carefully and found that nothing really existed here anymore.

Even according to the original plot, there isn't even a sense of time in this story.

They've only been here a short time, so Bai Ye hasn't yet felt the passage of time.

Or rather,

You don't feel time disappearing.

Bai Ye recalled Istaroth, whom he had met when he planted the Sakura Tree.

With her around, will I still be affected by time?

Bai Ye was still pondering.

Seeing Hu Tao Bai Ye was still thinking, Hu Tao slowed her pace. Hu Tao was agile and moved without making a sound.

In this quiet atmosphere, Bai Ye could only hear the breathing and heartbeats of himself and Hu Tao.

Thump thump thump—

The sound made Bai Ye feel very uncomfortable.

"Let's talk about something."

Bai Ye said to Hu Tao.

"Um..."

Hu Tao nodded.

Just then, she saw a lake in front of her and said to Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, look, there's still water here."

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded.

Hu Tao ran to the lakeside, squatted down, and patted the water.

After patting it a few times, she turned to Bai Ye and said, "The water here is still very cool. Bai Ye, do you think there might be fish in it?"

"I have a bad feeling about it."

Bai Ye wasn't very confident that there were fish here.

As she was saying this, Hu Tao had already taken off her shoes. Her bare feet stepped into the water, ready to walk down.

Seeing her actions, Bai Ye quickly called out:

"Hey, what girl would go swimming in the lake?"

This space may hold some danger; it's best not to act rashly.

"Well, there's nobody around here anyway, so even if I go into the water, nobody will see me."

Hu Tao waved his hand dismissively.

As for Bai Ye seeing it, it doesn't matter.

"Why don't you come swimming with me?"

Hu Tao also plans to invite others.

Just then, the sharp-eyed Bai Ye noticed a ripple on the water in the distance.

"Etc..."

Bai Ye interrupts Hu Tao.

"What's wrong?" Just then Hu Tao was about to pull Bai Ye into the water with her, but when she heard Bai Ye say this, she stopped what she was doing.

"Look over there—"

Bai Ye pointed to the ripples on the water.

An ordinary girl would be afraid and worried upon seeing this, but Hu Tao looked excited.

"Are there any bigger fish here? Can we have another meal?"

"It's not necessarily a fish, it's a crocodile."

Teyvat has crocodiles.

"Crocodile is also a fish, and it can be eaten."

Bai Ye thought about it and realized that the second half of Hu Tao's sentence was accurate, so he didn't correct her.

Hu Tao drew his spear, and Bai Ye pulled out his Handheld Crossbow from his waist. They both prepared to attack in the direction of the ripples.

Just then, a human head appeared on the surface of the water.

With her short blue hair and cool, beautiful face, she was none other than Yelan, whom Bai Ye and Hu Tao had come to find.

"Yelan!"

When Hu Tao and Bai Ye saw that Yelan, whom they were looking for, had actually come here, their tone became excited.

However, Yelan didn't feel excited. Instead, she frowned as she looked at Bai Ye and Hu Tao and said:

How did you get here?

She must have explored this space for a long time, even cracking some of the mechanisms. But even so, she was still trapped inside.

Now that Bai Ye and the others have come in, won't they be trapped just the same way?

Looking at Yelan, Bai Ye said to her, "It's a long story, Yelan, why don't you come out first and we can talk about it in detail?"

Hearing Bai Ye say that, Yelan blushed.

"You can leave for a bit. Also, Hu Tao, could you go get my clothes over there?"

She said to Bai Ye.

When she said the second half of the sentence, her tone was somewhat hesitant.

She had explored this space for a long time but had not found anyone else.

So,

Yelan let loose a little.

The clothes are all on the shore.
