Ye Yun was just about to examine the specific function of the Otherworld Guest Invitation Letter when Stelle suddenly poked her head out from behind the sofa and patted Ye Yun on the shoulder.

"Ye Yun!"

Ye Yun turned around and saw Stelle with one hand on his shoulder and the Herring Can she had drawn earlier in the other.

"Ye Yun, can I put some things in that fridge of yours?"

Hearing that, Ye Yun agreed without hesitation.

"Sure, but don't put anything with a strong smell in there."

Stelle looked at the Herring Can in her hand. This should be fine, right? It did not smell like anything before it was opened.

With Ye Yun's permission, Stelle dashed over to the fridge and put the Herring Can into the Pocket Dimension.

Stelle touched her waist. There was still a bat.

Stelle made to stuff it inside, but March 7th hurriedly stopped her.

"Stelle, forget about the bat. Just find somewhere to put it."

Stelle thought about it and felt that March 7th had a point.

"Fine."

Stelle looked around and propped the bat up near the entrance.

Over on Ye Yun's side.

He was currently checking the information on the Otherworld Guest Invitation Letter.

Otherworld Guest Invitation Letter Effect: After use, it can invite a guest from another world. Description: The content was extremely simple, just one plain sentence. Ye Yun had been looking forward to it for nothing.

Ye Yun took it out and injected a trace of his power into it according to the system prompt.

The next second, the Otherworld Guest Invitation Letter activated and vanished into nothingness.

Teyvat, Windrise in Mondstadt.

Lumine, a traveler from beyond Teyvat, was chatting with her traveling companion, Paimon.

"Lumine, hurry! We're almost at the Statue of The Seven!"

Paimon flew ahead, waving at Lumine and urging her to move faster.

Lumine quickened her pace and caught up with Paimon.

The two continued forward until they climbed up a cliff.

An envelope with wings flew toward them.

Paimon curiously watched the envelope.

"Lumine, look! What is that? A flying envelope?"

Lumine looked up, and the envelope had already arrived before her.

The envelope did not stop until it landed in Lumine's hand.

Lumine picked up the envelope and opened it.

The instant the envelope was opened, a Teleportation Portal appeared before them, giving Paimon quite a fright.

"Eek~ What is that?!"

Lumine also drew her Dull Blade and warily watched the Teleportation Portal.

After several minutes of stalemate, with no one emerging from the other side, Lumine cautiously edged closer to the Teleportation Portal.

Paimon was still afraid of the Teleportation Portal.

"Lumine, be careful."

Lumine nodded and slowly reached her hand toward the Teleportation Portal.

Just as Lumine's hand touched the light emanating from the Teleportation Portal, a sudden suction force seized her and dragged her entire body inside.

Paimon panicked at the sight.

"Lumine! Can you hear me? Lumine! What should I do?!"

Paimon stared at the Teleportation Portal and made up her mind. With a burst of speed, she flew into it.

Inside Ye Yun's Shop.

March 7th stood beside the Teleportation Portal, looking left and right.

"Ye Yun, when is the person on the other side coming over? It's been so long, and this door hasn't done anything."

Stelle echoed from the side.

"Yeah, yeah! This isn't some fake door, is it?"

Himeko, Welt, and Dan Heng were also quite interested.

After hearing Ye Yun say that a guest from another world would be arriving, the three had been full of anticipation, wanting to see what someone from another world looked like.

Ye Yun took a light sip of tea from his cup and spoke unhurriedly.

"Don't rush. It won't be that soon."

As soon as Ye Yun finished speaking, the Teleportation Portal emitted a faint glow.

The next second, Lumine and Paimon flew out one after the other.

Stelle and March 7th had no time to react before Lumine and Paimon crashed into them and knocked them over.

"Ow!"

Lumine groggily opened her eyes. Where was this...?

It seemed to be a shop. Outside the shop was a starry sky.

A starry sky!

Lumine suddenly snapped awake. This place was actually beyond Teyvat!

At that moment, a fit of coughing came from beneath her.

"Cough, cough~ Miss, could you get up first? You're crushing me."

Lumine looked down and saw a pink-haired girl beneath her, coughing repeatedly.

Lumine hurriedly got up.

"I'm sorry! Sorry!"

After saying that, Lumine quickly helped March 7th up, her concerned gaze sweeping over March 7th.

"Are you okay?"

March 7th took a moment to recover.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I didn't expect Ye Yun's door to be real. Someone really did come through."

Stelle had also gotten up by then. Paimon had only knocked her down because she had flown over with too much force.

Now, she got back up with ease.

As for little Paimon, she was currently sprawled across the sofa with spirals in her eyes.

"Hello, what's your name?" Stelle asked Lumine.

The Mouthpiece of the Gods had already fainted, so Lumine could only introduce herself.

"Hello, my name is Lumine. I'm a traveler."

Hearing that, Stelle and March 7th introduced themselves as well.

"Hello, I'm March 7th, a Nameless."

"Hello, hello! I'm Stelle, the Galaxy Bat Hero renowned throughout the universe."

At that moment.

Ye Yun walked over.

"Hello, Lumine. Welcome to my shop.

As you can see, this isn't Teyvat. This is another world."

Lumine sized Ye Yun up.

"Hello."

Stelle patted Ye Yun on the shoulder.

"Lumine, he's the one who invited you here."

Hearing the word "invited," Lumine felt deeply uncomfortable.

Invited? Are you sure I was invited here? I was clearly dragged here by force!

If this weren't your territory, I'd beat you up!

Seeing Lumine looking a little angry, Ye Yun was rather confused.

They had only just met. He had not offended her, had he?

After thinking it over, Lumine seemed to have flown out directly just now. Could it have something to do with that?

Ye Yun quickly asked the system, and only then did he understand.

Good grief, System. This isn't an invitation anymore. This is kidnapping!

Ye Yun smiled awkwardly. He should finish the process first.

"Lumine, I invited you here because I want you to buy things from my shop.

I have everything here. If you can think of it, you can buy it."

Lumine looked at Ye Yun skeptically.

Ye Yun said,

"No matter how much I say, you won't believe me. You can go try it yourself.

See the Touch Screen by the Bar Counter? It displays the goods I sell. You can go take a look.

Oh, and let me tell you this: I only accept Star Coins here. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to exchange Primogems for them."

In the Star Rail World, the item that could be exchanged for Star Coins was Stellar Jade. Going by that logic, Teyvat should use Primogems, most likely.

Hearing that, Lumine thought about it. Trying it would not hurt. What if what this guy said was true?

If it was true, might she be able to find a way to quickly restore her power?

Only after recovering her power would she be able to search for her brother more easily.

Then.

Lumine walked toward the Small Bar.
