After closing the shop, Fang Yue looked around.
He remembered that if he headed downhill, he would eventually reach the Thousand Winds Temple.
Further south was Windrise.
After figuring out the direction, he set off south.
In his impression, Mondstadt wasn’t very large either.
If he followed the route, he should be able to reach Mondstadt by tonight at the latest.
He really didn’t want to spend the night sleeping outdoors.
But after walking for a while, he realized something was wrong.
He had already been walking for quite some time, yet he couldn’t even see the shadow of the Thousand Winds Temple.
There was nothing but endless wilderness stretching as far as the eye could see.
“First impressions really can kill you!”
This wasn’t a game where he could run back and forth in just a few steps.
This was the real world!
How big was an entire nation supposed to be?
Fang Yue didn’t even dare imagine it.
At this rate, it might take him a month to reach Mondstadt.
He hurriedly entered the Intelligence Room.
He wanted to ask how long it would take him to reach Mondstadt.
[Fang Yue: Anyone there?
I’ve got a question.
I’m at Starsnatch Cliff.
How long will it take me to get to Mondstadt?]
[Kaeya: Starsnatch Cliff?
What are you doing all the way over there?
Don’t tell me you didn’t bring any travel supplies?]
[Fang Yue: What do you mean?
I need travel supplies too?]
After seeing Kaeya’s message, Fang Yue’s entire expression changed.
I’m not going to starve to death out here, am I?
[Diluc: Starting from Starsnatch Cliff, it’ll take at least a week to reach Mondstadt at the fastest.]
A week?!
Fang Yue’s vision went dark.
I’m screwed!
[Fang Yue: Guys, I just started walking south from Starsnatch Cliff.
I don’t have any travel supplies or food.
What do you think I should do?]
[Kaeya: You’re beyond saving.
Just wait for death!]
[Lisa: You’re beyond saving.
Just wait for death!]
[Noelle: Has Mr.
Fang Yue run into trouble?
Wait there, I’ll come right away.]
[Amber: Don’t…
don’t…
Don’t go.
I’ll go instead.]
Noelle would risk her life to save people.
The last time she went to Dragonspine to rescue someone, she came back with a high fever and nearly put herself in serious danger.
[Eula: You all go back.
I’m nearby anyway.
I’ll go find him.]
[Eula: @Fang Yue, where are you?
Is there anything distinctive around you?]
Fang Yue looked around at the Cecilia flowers surrounding him.
[Fang Yue: There are lots of white flowers here!]
[Eula: All right.
Don’t move.
I’ll come find you.]
Seeing that Eula was coming to find him, Fang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
He was unfamiliar with the area, and wandering around randomly could easily make him get lost.
Meanwhile, at the Goth Grand Hotel.
La Signora narrowed her eyes as she watched the conversation in the Intelligence Room.
This Fang Yue is supposedly stronger than even the gods, yet he can’t even handle such a trivial matter?
Could he have been bluffing me?
The more La Signora thought about it, the more suspicious she became.
From beginning to end, Fang Yue had never actually made a move.
If he really possessed such overwhelming strength, he shouldn’t have let her off so easily.
Yet the terrifying power she had felt at the time had certainly seemed real.
What exactly was going on?
She was starting to get confused.
No.
Once he arrives in Mondstadt, I must test him again.
If he really has been deceiving me, then…
A dangerous glint flashed through La Signora’s eyes.
Fang Yue had no idea what La Signora was thinking.
At this moment, he was sitting on a rock, waiting for Eula to find him.
“Hmm.
Looks like my luck really isn’t bad!”
With someone like Eula acting as his bodyguard, he should be able to reach Mondstadt smoothly.
His only concern was running into a group of Hilichurls while he was alone.
If that happened, wouldn’t he be killed on the spot?
It didn’t take long.
Sure enough, a blue figure appeared in the distance.
Fang Yue stood up and waved before quickly making his way over.
“I have to say, you’re someone who even dares to challenge the gods, yet this is what you’re like?”
Eula had her own reason for coming.
She had also noticed what La Signora had discovered.
She wanted to see whether Fang Yue really possessed extraordinary strength.
“My true self is currently experiencing mortal life, so naturally I cannot use power beyond that of a mortal.”
What the hell?
Experiencing mortal life?
He said it as though it were actually true!
Aren’t you just making things unnecessarily difficult for yourself?”
Eula clearly didn’t believe him.
How could someone like that possibly exist?
Seeing that Eula didn’t believe him, Fang Yue didn’t even think before replying,
“Why not?
If you don’t believe me, go to Liyue and take a look at that old man who owes money.
Isn’t he doing the same thing?”
“The old man who owes money?”
“Uh…
never mind!
I was talking nonsense just now.”
He had almost let the cat out of the bag.
Fang Yue quickly shut his mouth.
After all, it wasn’t very nice to talk about someone behind their back.
Eula rolled her eyes at Fang Yue and directly drew her sword.
“Let’s spar!
I also want to see the power of someone who dares to challenge the gods!”
Seeing her stance, Fang Yue immediately understood what she was thinking.
If there had been a whole group of people, he might have been nervous.
But there was only one person in front of him.
What was there to worry about?
Bring it on!
Fang Yue stood with his hands behind his back.
“Why bother?
Your strength is not inferior to mine.”
What do you mean my strength isn’t inferior to yours?
Eula gave Fang Yue a strange look.
This guy really is full of nonsense.
Determined to test Fang Yue, Eula made a symbolic slash with her sword.
Yet Fang Yue casually dodged it.
She swung several more times.
Fang Yue continued dodging each attack with ease.
Fang Yue put on an inscrutable expression.
“Sigh!
Why go through all this trouble?”
Before Eula had arrived, Fang Yue had already anticipated this situation.
After studying the Divine Art of Equal Standing, Fang Yue had discovered a loophole.
According to the description of the skill, the two sides were forcibly made equal.
If he didn’t attack, then in order to maintain the draw, his opponent absolutely couldn’t injure him.
Therefore, as long as Eula wasn’t injured, he absolutely couldn’t be injured either.
After all, it was a draw!
But from Eula’s perspective, things looked completely different.
Every one of her attacks was casually dodged by Fang Yue.
He was even doing it with his hands behind his back.
This guy really is an incredible expert.
