Invite this character?

"Confirm!"

"Whoosh—"

Who knew how many times he had seen it, but the rift connecting dimensions appeared before him once more. Beyond it lay a land of breathtaking beauty.

In the distance, mountain ranges rose and fell in layered succession, scattered in an orderly fashion. Some pierced the clouds like pillars holding up the heavens; others twisted and wound like coiling dragons. Every peak possessed its own unique shape and character—some perilous and steep, others majestic and magnificent, leaving one utterly awestruck.

Looking into the distance, he could see the snow-capped mountaintops reaching into the clouds, encircled by layers of flawless white currents. Like flowing ribbons, they danced lightly in the air, lending the solemn mountains an air of mystery and vitality.

When he lowered his head, however, he found that the ground beneath him was covered in thick wooden planks.

"So it connected to Wangshu Inn."

Lin Yiyi smiled and stepped inside. With his previous experience, he no longer worried about being unable to return.

Standing atop a building from another world, Lin Yiyi still felt as though he were living in a dream.

"Who goes there?" A cold voice suddenly reached Lin Yiyi's ears.

The boy looked toward the sound but saw no one. "Who is it?"

"Swish—" A flash of dark green elemental energy streaked past. A short youth dressed in white and green appeared before him.

Meeting those golden eyes, Lin Yiyi seemed to see the sorrow, numbness, roars, and screams born from long years of slaughter in the past.

"Greetings, Conqueror of Demons." As a disciple of the Dao, Lin Yiyi would respectfully bow whenever he encountered an immortal from any world.

"You know me?" Xiao was slightly surprised. Then he noticed the rift behind Lin Yiyi and asked, "I heard from Di... Mr. Zhongli that he traveled to another world with Director Hu Tao some time ago."

"I suppose that was your world. Why have you come to find me now?"

Though he looked rather aloof, he seemed fairly easy to talk to.

Delighted, Lin Yiyi said, "Then I won't beat around the bush. I came this time to invite Adeptus Xiao to visit my world."

"And while you're there, help me deal with the evil spirits in my world."

At that, Xiao crossed his arms. "But I am bound by contract. I cannot leave Dihua Marsh, and I have sworn to defend this land unto death."

Lin Yiyi immediately tried to talk him into it. "Come on, Old Man Zhong told me that I could bring you over to our side sometime if I had the chance."

"Even the Geo Archon said so. How could you refuse?"

"Old Man Zhong? The Geo Archon? How do you know Zhongli...?"

"Oh, come on, I know him. Of course I'd know!"

Lin Yiyi simply shoved the immortal youth, who was a head shorter than him, toward the rift. "Let's go, let's go! It's really fun over there!"

"You should stay away from me. I carry..."

"Oh, I know. Karmic debt."

"How do you know that? Did Mr. Zhongli tell you?"

"No, because I'm the Traveler."

"?"

Just as he had done with the companions he had invited before, Lin Yiyi explained the basics of the game Genshin Impact and cosplay to Xiao.

"..." After hearing him out, Xiao remained silent for a long while.

"It matters not. I have fought for thousands of years. Compared to being someone who does not exist, the karmic debt within me troubles me far more."

After talking Xiao out of Wangshu Inn, Lin Yiyi began drawing talismans.

"Lingbao Tianzun, soothe and settle my form. My disciple's soul and five viscera, dark and profound. Azure Dragon and White Tiger, stand in formation around the altar. Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise, guard my body."

As he chanted the Purification Body Incantation, Lin Yiyi folded the talisman into a triangle and handed it to Xiao. "Here."

"This is a Purification Talisman. It should be able to temporarily suppress the karmic debt in your body."

"I don't know whether it'll work on people from another world, but it's better than nothing, right?"

As a junior, drawing a talisman for an immortal seemed wrong no matter how he thought about it. Yet because they came from different worlds, he had no idea whether it would actually work.

Xiao accepted the small slip of paper and, unusually, said, "Thank you."

With a light wave of his right hand, the talisman adhered to his clothes.

"! What is this?"

Once the talisman was attached to him, Xiao could clearly feel his heart becoming much calmer.

"I didn't think it would really work..." Lin Yiyi could tell from the change in Xiao's expression that it had taken effect, which he found unbelievable as well. If he had to explain it, perhaps it was because they came from different dimensions. Even though he was far inferior to an immortal, he could still be of some help.

Xiao then looked around. It was a small room with only one bed, upon which a girl lay with her eyes shut.

As an adeptus, Xiao saw the problem at a glance. "Did she encounter an evil spirit?"

Lin Yiyi gave a sound of affirmation. "That evil spirit is called the Pen Fairy. I'm planning to visit the place where she encountered it tonight."

"Pen Fairy? Could it be an adeptus as well?"

"No. It's an evil spirit that harms mortals."

"It bears the word 'fairy' yet does not act as one... It deserves to be slain."

Xiao crossed his arms. "If you do not mind, let me explore this world on my own."

"I have a general understanding of what you told me earlier. There is no need to worry about me."

"If you encounter trouble, simply call my name."

"Swish—" In the blink of an eye, only Lin Yiyi and Fang Yaya remained in the room.

Lin Yiyi sighed, took several talismans from his backpack, and placed them on both sides of the bed. Once the talisman formation took shape, it slowly began expelling the evil energy from Fang Yaya.

Then he started scrolling through Yinfú, but the moment he opened it, he found that he had over ninety-nine unread notifications.

When he checked them, he found a flood of likes, comments, and follows.

"I'm losing it, delete the last one!"

"Streamer, hurry up and upload another video!"

"Streamer, streamer, we want to see other cosplayers!"

At the same time, he noticed that Jiang Yehua and Youyu had liked his video as well.

Jiang Yehua's comment was very simple and clean: "Nice."

Youyu, on the other hand, asked with great familiarity, "Teacher Yu, when will we meet again? I want to cling to the thighs of other cosplayers!"

Lin Yiyi took a look. Though he only had one video, his follower count had quickly surged to ten thousand. This was the traffic brought in by a major content creator.

Lin Yiyi smiled, ignored those notifications, and continued scrolling through Yinfú on his own.

Suddenly, he came across another one of Jiang Yehua's videos. It showed photos of her Furina cosplay from the event, as well as several polished shots.

"Wow, that cosplay is so accurate!"

"Yeah, yeah! As expected of Jiang Yehua, the quality of her cosplays is incredibly high!"

"Ahhhhh, if I could marry Jiang Yehua, I'd even marry Re Nan!"

"Whose piss is yellow? Come splash him awake!"

As Lin Yiyi browsed the comments, every one of them discussed how uncannily accurate Jiang Yehua's cosplay was, as if she had divine help.

With a faint smile, he opened the Teyvat app again.

If this Furina isn't accurate enough, I'll find you one that is!
