However, Himeko did not plan to ask further.
After all, who on this train didn't have a few secrets? Right?
Himeko looked at Leos with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, Leos."
Leos shook his head.
"Think nothing of it."
Seeing this, Ye Yun snapped his fingers, and a Teleportation Portal appeared.
"Let's go, everyone, let's go check on Lumine."
Following that, the group stepped into the Teleportation Portal and headed toward the world where Lumine was.
Teyvat, outside Mondstadt City, within a canyon near Starsnatch Cliff by Starsnatch Lake.
Ye Yun and the others appeared in this place.
The two little ones, Hook and Clara, were extremely excited as they looked at the vibrant world before them.
"Wah! This place is so pretty! Hook likes it so much!"
"Mm, Clara likes this place very much too."
At that moment, Welt was crouching beside a bush, carefully observing an Anemo Crystalfly.
This Anemo Crystalfly made Welt feel very dreamy; as it fluttered, light green, speckled fluorescence scattered from its wings.
Himeko and Ye Yun followed beside the two little ones, chatting while looking after them.
Lumine and Paimon, meanwhile, were walking around and inspecting the off-road Motorhome they had just bought.
Lumine couldn't wait to open the door, and as soon as she walked inside, she saw a sofa booth that could seat four people facing the door.
A bit to the right was the bathroom, which wasn't large, only about four square meters.
A bit further to the right were the upper and lower bunk beds.
The beds were both large, and beside them was a window made of one-way glass.
The window took up a considerable area, and with the sunlight from outside shining in, there was no need to turn on the lights at all, making it very bright.
On the left hand side of the door was first a small kitchen counter, on top of which was a gas stove.
Opposite the small kitchen counter was a small storage room with an area of six square meters.
Further to the left was the front driver's cab.
Paimon flew up to the upper bunk and lay right down.
"Wah! Lumine! This bed is so comfortable to sleep in!"
Lumine felt a great sense of accomplishment looking at this Motorhome that belonged to her; she had bought this by finding Primogems herself.
From now on, this Motorhome would accompany her as she traveled through Teyvat to search for her older brother.
Lumine walked to the cab and pressed the horn, catching the attention of Himeko and the others.
Seeing that everyone was looking over, Lumine opened the car window and shouted happily.
"All passengers get on board! We're about to set off!"
Hearing this, Clara and Hook, who were holding many bright flowers in their hands, ran towards the Motorhome with pattering steps.
Himeko and Ye Yun also followed behind.
Welt took out a glass jar, put an Anemo Crystalfly inside, and then ran towards the Motorhome.
Seeing that everyone was on board, Lumine closed the door.
"Attention all passengers, the Traveler is about to depart, please hold on and sit tight!"
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Lumine, do you have a driver's license?"
Upon hearing this, Lumine fell silent; she really didn't have that thing.
However, wouldn't it be fine as long as she knew how to drive?
"O-Of course I do! It's just not on me, hurry up and sit down, I'm going to drive!"
Ye Yun teased Lumine.
"Lumine, not having a license isn't something to be ashamed of, wouldn't you say?"
Seeing that Ye Yun dared to banter with her, Lumine instantly snapped.
"Ye Yun!!! Go die!!!!"
In an instant, the Motorhome was filled with laughter and joy.
After playing around for a bit, Lumine ignited the Motorhome's engine, stepped on the gas pedal, and started the vehicle, driving toward Mondstadt.
On a mountain peak in the distance, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, Barbatos, also known as Venti, sat there curiously staring at the Motorhome speeding past below.
"Interesting, this thing runs pretty fast."
Having said that, Venti's figure turned into a breeze and drifted toward the Motorhome.
The Motorhome drove all the way, stopping in front of a statue after more than an hour.
Paimon pointed at the statue in the middle of the lake in the distance and said.
"This is the Statue of The Seven! There are seven nations existing across Teyvat, and each nation possesses a deity.
And what the Statue of The Seven is carved in the likeness of is the deity of each country.
The place we are in is Mondstadt, and Mondstadt's deity is the Anemo Archon who rules over wind, Barbatos.
Shall we go over and take a look? I heard that praying to the statue can bring good luck~"
Hearing this, everyone became interested.
Lumine walked over to the shore and was about to jump down.
Fortunately, Ye Yun quickly stopped her.
"What are you doing? You planning to swim all the way across from this far?"
Lumine looked at the distance between herself and the heart-of-the-lake island; it wasn't very far.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Ye Yun said.
"No need to swim, I'll fly you guys across."
After saying that, Ye Yun controlled the power within his body to lift everyone up and fly toward the heart-of-the-lake island.
Hook even imitated the appearance of a little bird, happily flapping her hands.
"Hook can fly now! Fly! Fly! Fly!"
Soon, the group arrived beneath the Statue of The Seven.
Under Paimon's guidance, Lumine successfully obtained Anemo Energy from within the Statue of The Seven.
Ye Yun, Welt, and Himeko also tried it, but it had no effect whatsoever.
It seemed this should be Lumine's special trait.
However, unlike the original plot where she was excited about gaining Anemo Energy, Lumine instead rubbed her chin and stared at the Statue of The Seven, wondering what she was thinking.
Ye Yun walked over and patted Lumine's shoulder to snap her out of it.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lumine was startled awake and said.
"I'm wondering if this Statue of The Seven can be exchanged for Star Coins; this thing is quite unique, isn't it?"
When Ye Yun heard that, Froggy Wow, as expected of you, the Lumine-ator, wherever you go leaves truly not a blade of grass behind.
Having said that, Lumine took out the Dull Blade, intending to give the Statue of The Seven a slash and shave off a small piece to see if it could be exchanged for Star Coins.
Venti, who was hiding in the dark, instantly widened his eyes.
This Traveler actually wanted to take apart his statue!
It was a good thing Ye Yun stopped Lumine, otherwise Venti had already planned to show himself and stop her.
This Statue of The Seven was connected to that person up in the sky, so nothing could go wrong here.
Following that.
Lumine drove the Motorhome and took everyone to continue their journey. Ye Yun leaned against the car window, enjoying the scenery along the way while eating a freshly picked Sunset Fruit.
Next.
The group encountered Amber in the Whispering Woods, and after getting acquainted with each other, Amber also boarded the Motorhome.
Along the way, the group also casually cleared out a few Hilichurl camps.
More than two hours later, the group finally arrived at the bridge outside Mondstadt City.
Ye Yun found it a bit hard to understand.
Since Lumine had already met Amber, why didn't she run into Venti and Dvalin in the Whispering Woods?
According to the original plot, Lumine encountered Dvalin and Venti before meeting Amber, things happening back-to-back.
After thinking about it and truly failing to figure it out, Ye Yun gave up.
What Ye Yun didn't know was that Venti had purposely lured Dvalin away and had not let Dvalin appear in front of Ye Yun.
Just kidding, based on Venti's perception, not a single one of those three people—Ye Yun, Himeko, and Welt—was simple.
Given Dvalin's strength, he was afraid that Dvalin would get knocked off by them.
To save Dvalin's little life, Venti had already led him away in advance.
Tsk tsk, I really am such a hardworking deity~
