Arc 1From Inazuma to Liyue
Baichen’s growing elemental powers drew Ei, Bronya, and others into increasingly possessive rivalries before he left Inazuma for Liyue. In Liyue, Ningguang and Yelan competed for his attention, and Baichen ended the stretch staying at the Jade Chamber.
- Baichen arrived in Inazuma, gained Ei’s trust, and helped persuade her to permit healing Visions for Watatsumi Island.
- Baichen survived a Tatarigami crystal explosion with Ei, then learned from Yae Miko that the Resistance had not brought the crystal that caused the blast.
- Ayaka abducted Baichen and kept him confined at her villa until Ei rescued him and ordered him to live at Tenshukaku.
- Baichen trained with Ei, Kujou Sara, and Ganyu, while Miko and Kokomi offered him guidance and gifts, and he also developed Cryo abilities under Bronya in Snezhnaya.
- Bronya marked Baichen with Cryo and sent him back to Inazuma, where Ei welcomed him and eventually approved a two-week trip to Liyue with Ganyu.
- Baichen reached Liyue with Ganyu, met Ningguang and Yelan, and found himself caught between their competing attention.
- Yelan secretly visited Baichen at night and kissed him, while Ningguang took him around the festival and brought him to stay at the Jade Chamber.
- Ningguang asked Baichen whether she or Yelan was the better kisser.
