"A treasure map?" Li Qiuzhi nodded in some agreement. It hardly seemed strange for something like that to turn up in a treasure chest.
After all, this happened in the original game too. Although he did not understand it yet, there was presumably a reason for it.
Besides, the existence of treasure chests was already miraculous enough. A treasure map was nothing in comparison.
"Speaking of which, we don't even know what time it is now. Let's go outside and check first. If it's too late, the treasure hunt will have to wait until tomorrow."
Li Qiuzhi spoke as he gently lowered the purple-black hem of Fischl's off-the-shoulder dress.
As the hem slipped down under gravity, it softly brushed her supple calves, wrapped in black stockings.
Fischl nodded and walked back across the muddy ground. "All right, let's head back!"
The two walked up the gentle slope, called over Ellin, who was still warming herself by the fire, and prepared to leave the cave. After all, they had reached its end, and there was nowhere else to explore.
As they left the hollow containing the pool, the firelight gradually faded, and the cave returned to darkness.
After walking for a short while, Li Qiuzhi and the others reached the entrance, where they could already see the golden rays of the setting sun shining inside, coating the walls in gold.
"Finally, we're out! Spending so long in a poorly lit cave feels a little stifling!"
Ellin jogged outside and spread her arms as though she wanted to embrace the sun.
Li Qiuzhi and Fischl followed close behind. Bathed in the sunlight, Fischl felt languid all over and could not help stretching.
Interlacing her fingers, she raised and straightened her arms, clad in long, sheer black sleeves, with her palms facing upward.
