Amber got off the motorhome and asked everyone to wait a moment while she went to brief the Knights of Favonius at the city gate.
Himeko checked the time and said.
"Lumine, you guys go ahead, we have to head back. We've already played long enough on this trip."
Welt also nodded.
"That's right, we'll head back first, and we can come over another time later."
Ye Yun looked at the sky. It was almost getting dark here in Teyvat, even though it was clearly still noon when he and the others had arrived.
Ye Yun looked at the two little ones, Hook and Clara.
The two little ones looked exhausted, occasionally letting out a yawn.
Naturally, the two little ones had played to their heart's content today, running around and playing the entire time even inside the motorhome.
It was only normal that they felt tired and sleepy at this hour.
Ye Yun gently patted the little heads of the two little ones.
"Lumine, we won't go in. We'll head back to rest first, and we'll come again when we have free time."
Paimon looked a little disappointed.
"Ah? Why? We've already reached the city gate, after all."
Ye Yun said.
"It's fine. As long as you're in Teyvat, we can come over at any time—it's just a matter of a teleportation portal."
Paimon still wanted to persuade Ye Yun and the others to stay and go into the city together.
Lumine spoke up first.
"No problem, once I get settled down here, I'll treat everyone to a meal!"
Himeko smiled faintly.
"Great, then I'll be looking forward to your big meal, Lumine~"
Lumine patted her chest.
"No problem!"
Shortly after, Ye Yun, Himeko, Welt, Hook, and Clara walked into the teleportation portal to return to the train.
Paimon was a bit puzzled.
"Lumine, why didn't you ask everyone to stay? I was planning on having dinner with everyone tonight~"
Lumine said.
"They played until they were tired today and want to go back to rest. Didn't you see that Hook and Clara were almost falling asleep?"
Hearing this, Paimon finally reacted.
"Oh, alright~"
At that moment, Amber suddenly asked.
"Lumine, Paimon, I've helped you settle your "motorhome".
Hey, where are Ye Yun and the others?"
Paimon said.
"They went back to rest!"
Amber felt extremely puzzled. Back? Back to where? Weren't they travelers just like Lumine?
"Weren't they with you guys?"
Lumine shook her head and then nodded.
"They're considered together with us, but they aren't people from our world. They come from another world, and they just went back to their world to rest."
Amber stared at Lumine in utter shock.
"What! They're people from another world?"
Lumine nodded.
"That's right, it's a long story. I'll explain as we walk. It's getting late, let's head into the city first."
Hearing this, Amber felt that Lumine made sense, and then led Lumine and Paimon into Mondstadt City.
Along the way, Lumine explained the matter of Ye Yun and the others to Amber. Amber listened very carefully, perking up her ears to listen intently to Lumine, afraid of missing a single word.
As the two walked along, they soon arrived at a plaza.
Right here, Amber handed over the gift she had promised to give Lumine: the "Wind Glider".
Just as Lumine wanted to practice using the Wind Glider,
suddenly the weather changed abruptly, with fierce winds howling and lightning flashing.
"Run! It's Stormterror!"
Someone shouted, and the crowd present panicked and fled in all directions.
A dragon's roar echoed through the sky, and Lumine widened her eyes as she watched Dvalin gliding overhead.
"Lumine! This way!"
Amber called out, leading Lumine to run toward a nearby building.
A tornado suddenly formed behind Lumine, sweeping her high up into the air.
Just as Venti wanted to step out to help Lumine,
Lumine in the sky had a sudden flash of insight, and quickly opened a teleportation portal and jumped inside.
Venti was left utterly dumbfounded at the sight before him.
No way! Where did my huge traveler go!
Seeing Lumine jump into the teleportation portal, Paimon instantly let out a sigh of relief.
"Amber, let's run first, Lumine is fine now."
Amber didn't quite understand what Paimon meant. How was Lumine fine? Wasn't Lumine just swept away by a tornado?
Paimon looked at Amber and explained.
"Lumine just opened a teleportation portal and went over to Ye Yun's side."
Only then did Amber remember that she had indeed heard Lumine say earlier that she could open a teleportation portal to Ye Yun's world.
However, the portals she opened could only be used by herself and Paimon; it was useless for anyone else to go in.
Inside Ye Yun's Shop.
Ye Yun, Himeko, Welt, Hook, Clara, and Pom-Pom were gathered around the long table in the center, eating the dinner prepared by Pom-Pom.
Everyone had a portion of steak, and in the middle of the dining table were a few plates of vegetable dishes and the like.
A teleportation portal opened up before everyone, and the next second, Lumine flew straight out from it.
"Ouch!"
Watching Lumine land face-first, Ye Yun couldn't help but tease.
"Lumine, how come it's this entrance pose for you again? Does your face hurt?"
Lumine climbed up from the ground and rubbed her small face.
"What do you think!"
Himeko noticed that Lumine looked extremely disheveled, as if she had experienced some sort of disaster.
"Lumine, what happened to you? Did you run into some trouble?"
Hearing this, Lumine recounted the whole process of events to Ye Yun and the others.
Welt became interested.
"A dragon?"
Lumine took the towel handed over by Pom-Pom and wiped her face.
"Yeah, such a huge dragon, it was so terrifying~"
Welt suddenly wanted to go take a look. The anemo crystalfly he had brought back earlier was currently in his room.
At that moment, Ye Yun spoke up first.
"Sigh~ Let's go, I'll go with you and help you deal with it, otherwise you probably won't be able to go back for a short while~"
With that, Ye Yun opened a teleportation portal, targeted the location Lumine had come from, and pulled Lumine in as he rushed through.
Seeing the teleportation portal close, Welt looked somewhat troubled.
"I wanted to go too."
Himeko covered her mouth with a chuckle.
"Next time, remember to speak up faster."
Welt sighed, and then continued eating.
High above Mondstadt, Venti was planning to guide Dvalin away from Mondstadt City.
Since the main character was gone, he didn't need to keep acting out this play either.
Just then, a teleportation portal suddenly opened, and Ye Yun and Lumine stepped out from it.
Venti was quick-witted; in a flash, he landed on the ground and hid.
Paimon and Amber, having reached a safe area, saw Lumine and Ye Yun up in the sky.
"Amber, look! Lumine is back, and so is Ye Yun!"
In the sky,
Ye Yun looked at Dvalin flying in the distance.
"Big enough, alright."
Lumine, standing beside him, was somewhat speechless.
"She's still a dragon, okay? Dragons are large creatures in any world."
Ye Yun smiled.
"No matter how big, it doesn't matter."
Having said that, he reached out toward the direction where Dvalin was and made a grasping motion.
In an instant, a terrifying power erupted from Ye Yun's body.
This power transformed into several dark golden chains that flew toward Dvalin.
The speed of the chains was extremely fast; before Dvalin could even react, she was already bound by the chains.
Dvalin let out a dragon's roar, struggling frantically in an attempt to break free from the chains.
Seeing this, the corners of Ye Yun's mouth curved up slightly with a trace of disdain.
"Resisting is useless! Bind!"
Ye Yun increased his force a fraction, and Dvalin was tied up like a zongzi directly by the chains, flying toward Ye Yun.
