"Ugh... Let's go, let's go, it'll be dark soon," Paimon said after hearing Paimon's words, quickly changing the subject awkwardly...
A while later...
Seeing the two sleeping in the makeshift tent, Paimon and the others tactfully came out, preventing them from being woken up by themselves.
Paimon rubbed her sore neck and sat down exhaustedly, while Qiqi was taken back by Baizhu, who was also there.
"Hoo... Finally, I can rest (￣﹏￣)"
"You can't even handle this much, Paimon, you're too weak~" Paimon on Paimon's other side mocked with a wicked grin.
"E"
Sensing the low mood of the two, Childe walked forward, ruffled Paimon's hair forcefully, and said,
"Those aren't things you should worry about."
"Waa?! Let go! You're messing up my hair!" Paimon pushed Childe's hand away with disgust.
"Hahaha~ Speaking of which, I had a great time today. I've never experienced such an exciting battle before~ (^_^)" Childe retracted his hand and said with a smile.
Paimon tidied her hair and pouted angrily when she saw Childe's happy smile after teasing her.
"Hmph... You battle-crazy lunatic... You'll wear yourself out sooner or later!"
"Uh-huh~ I'm not that stupid. By the way, is this how you treat someone who just helped you?"
"You dare to say that, you messed up my hair just now? (￣へ￣)" Paimon hit Childe's small leg angrily.
"Hahaha... Not tall, but quite vain. With your current tiny appearance, no one would even notice you, right?"
"Ha?! You dare to look down on me?! You wait, tomorrow... uh... this afternoon! Let's fight! See how I'll crush you!"
Heh heh... By then, both my forms will be fully recovered... Let's see how I teach you a lesson!
In her anger, Paimon subconsciously forgot that she couldn't enter her third form when she was alone...
"Oh? Are you sure you want to fight me?" Childe asked curiously, looking at the furious Paimon.
"Hmph~ Just tell me if you'll fight or not! I advise you to surrender early! (￣へ￣)"
"Hahaha~ I won't refuse a fight. Alright, then tomorrow, how about the mountaintop opposite the bridge at the gate of Liyue Harbor?"
"Okay~ But it's boring to just fight. How about this, the loser has to agree to one condition from the winner. What do you think?"
"A condition? Interesting~ Then it's a deal!"
The two of them sealed the agreement for a battle at lightning speed, leaving Paimon speechless.
These two idiots...
Meanwhile, the camera cuts to Lumine...
After sending Klee back, Lumine also bought a few bottles of Dandelion Wine on the way back, intending to give them to Childe as a thank-you gift. Of course, only one bottle, and the rest for backup.
"Heh heh... This backpack is really useful. The Primogems have already reached ten thousand. I'll give them to Paimon tonight to upgrade~ (^～^)"
【Ding!】
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Please go to your backpack to claim your reward."
"Huh? Mission? Where did a mission come from?"
Lumine asked doubtfully, then opened her backpack to check.
"Ah~ There's an extra letter."
Lumine immediately took out the envelope and opened it to read.
"Let me see... Hmm... Congratulations to the host for passing the eight-star Archon Quest. Based on your performance, we are pleased to offer you eighty plus twenty Intertwined Fates... eighty plus twenty... one hundred Intertwined Fates?!!"
【Ding!】
"Your reward has arrived~"
"So fast?!"
Lumine quickly opened her backpack again to check. Indeed, she found a small pile of Intertwined Fates.
"Good! This is so system-like! I like it!"
Lumine happily gave the system a big thumbs-up, then immediately opened the gacha interface.
"Hehe~ I was worried I wouldn't have enough Primogems after upgrading Paimon. This is truly a godsend~ Let me do a hundred pulls and have my fill!"
【Ding…………】
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the following 4-star and above rewards: Skyward Harp x1, Skyward Spine x1, Blackcliff Sword x3, Cinnabar Spindle x2, Dodoco Tales x1, Heart'sConvenient x1, Viridescent Hunt x1, Royal Greatsword x1, Amenoma Kageuchi x1."
"Uh... Two Skyward weapons again... Should I be happy or sad... Let's be happy then~"
Lumine quickly moved on from the question of whether to be happy or not to how to distribute these weapons...
"I can play around with Skyward Spine. As for Skyward Harp, I'll give it to Paimon."
After all, my archery skills are too poor...
"Three Blackcliff Swords should be enough for Paimon, as they're only slightly inferior to 5-star weapons. Similarly, Cinnabar Spindle and Heart'sConvenient can also be given to her..."
"Dodoco Tales can be given to little Klee later. This Viridescent Hunt, I'll give it to Diona. As for that salted fish greatsword... uh... it feels a bit embarrassing to give this as a gift... I'll have to wait until I get better weapons to give it to Noelle... I should have known not to sell those two Favonius Greatswords back then..."
"Finally, there's Amenoma Kageuchi... Hmm... I'll put it in my backpack for now. I can play with it or give it away when I get to Inazuma~ (^～^)"
"As for the rest of these abundant 1- and 2-star weapons... Hmm... I'll keep them as a precaution for emergencies~"
After distributing the weapons in her backpack, Lumine arrived near the makeshift camp set up by the Millelith. She searched around and quickly found Paimon and the others resting outside the tent.
"Hey~ I'm back, did you miss me?"
Seeing Lumine, who had just interrupted her emotional moment, now looking so happy, Paimon couldn't help but want to bring her host down a notch.
"No (￣へ￣)"
"E"
"Hmph~ You're still too green to play with me." Lumine snorted and casually took out a bottle of Dandelion Wine and handed it to Childe.
"Here~"
"Hmm? Is this... wine? For me?" Childe instinctively took it and asked curiously after observing it.
"That's right. This is a thank-you gift for your help. It's not much, but you know that a small gift carries great meaning~ Don't you like it?"
"Hahaha~ No, no, I'm very happy. I never expected you to give me a thank-you gift like this."
"As long as you're happy. You helped me, so I definitely have to show my appreciation. By the way, how are Lumine and Hu Tao?"
