{PS: Sigh, fewer than seventy requests for updates. The numbers really aren't looking good... With New Year approaching, things have also been very busy at home, and there's the big cleanup to do, so I've only just found time to update. I don't think many people will be reading what comes next, so, sorry, but I'll go back to one update a day. I won't drag the plot out so much either. I'll pick up the pace and plan to finish this month...}
The Astral Express roared into motion, laying down star rails as it flew swiftly through the sky, and soon arrived at The Chasm.
The Millelith stationed at The Chasm stared, dumbfounded, as the strange contraption descended from the sky and slowly landed on the ground.
"Did you see that? A contraption flying through the sky! Could it be the Adepti arriving?"
"But... we're responsible for guarding The Chasm. What do we do now?"
"What a headache. Going to Liyue Harbor to report this and coming back would take at least a week. Let's see what the Adepti have to say."
A Millelith captain could only step forward and watch a group of people disembark from the train.
The arrival of Theresa and the other beautiful girls left the rough men staring in astonishment. Zhong Li shook his head helplessly at the sight.
They were ordinary mortals, after all, so such a reaction was normal. The Millelith were almost entirely made up of men.
"Ahem."
Zhong Li coughed and looked at Xianyun, who nodded.
"From this day onward, you no longer need to guard The Chasm, for we shall resolve its problems once and for all."
"You may return home and reunite with your families. You are granted a month's leave. Afterward, report back to Liyue Harbor."
