I'm a male god in Liyue

Klee ran out from behind Amber and rushed over excitedly: "It's Xiangling!"

Xiangling caught her with a smile: "Keli, you sneaked out again, didn't you?"

Klee asserted confidently, "I didn't sneak out! I told Kaeya at the door when I came out!"

Upon hearing this, Amber asked, "What did you tell him?"

Klee said, "The Wind Flower Festival is coming soon, and Klee wants to make grilled fish for everyone, so Klee told Kaeya that she was going fishing!"

Amber then asked, "And then?"

"Because Klee had been fishing for a long time without catching any fish, she came up with a great idea!"

"Fried fish, is that right?"

"That's right! Amber is just as smart as Klee!"

"..."

Amber looked helpless.

At this moment, the others also got off the hovercar.

Xia Zhi watched Amber and Keli from God's perspective.

Amber had long chestnut hair tied with a red bunny ear knot on top of her head. She wore an outfit with red as the main color and white and brown as secondary colors, with goggles hanging from her collar and two prop bags hanging from her belt. The left bag had a fire-type Vision and a long red feather tied to it. She wore red stockings and white boots, making her look capable and energetic.

Klee wore a red beret with an added brim, decorated with feathers and four-leaf clover patterns. She wore gloves, a dress with bows on the sleeves, and harem pants. A leather backpack slung over her shoulder, adorned with a fire-themed Vision, and a cute doll hung from the side. She looked innocent and adorable.

Of course, none of this mattered to Xia Zhi. What mattered was that the two of them each had a silver progress bar and a gold progress bar.

Progress: [0%]

Amber looked at everyone and spotted another face that seemed somewhat familiar to her.

"You are... Diona!?"

Diona greeted us with a smile: "Hi Amber, and Klee too, long time no see!"

Klee's eyes lit up: "Wow! It's Diona! You've grown so much taller!"

Diona beamed, "That's right! I'll keep growing taller!"

Xia Ci walked over with a smile: "You two have run into old friends? Hello, my name is Xia Ci, and I am currently a traveler."

Amber straightened up slightly and introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Amber, and I am a scout knight of the Knights of Favonius."

Klee chimed in with a clear voice, "Hello, I'm Klee, a Spark Knight of the Knights of Favonius!"

"—You're the one! The heir to great knowledge!"

Mona's voice suddenly came from behind Xia Ci.

Klee looked at the older sister who suddenly walked towards her with some confusion: "The successor...?"

Mona looked at her, nodded, and said, "That's right, I am the astrologer who has seen through the secrets of the starry sea! You must have predicted my arrival long ago."

Klee tilted her head cutely: "Starry Sea? What's Starry Sea? Are there fish in Starry Sea?"

Mona scoffed, "Fish...? No, don't play dumb. Are you afraid of my challenge?"

Klee complained, "Sister, what are you talking about?! Klee didn't understand a word!"

Charlotte jumped out from the side and said, "I always feel like you two aren't on the same page. If this conversation continues, it'll never end. Why don't you start from the beginning?"

Mona paused for a moment, then said, "My astrology is never wrong... but just in case, I'll ask again, your mother's name is [Alice], right?"

Claire suddenly realized, "Oh, right! So my sister is Mom's friend. But Mom's gone to a very far place now, she's not home..."

Mona nodded: "I know that—it's the result of astrology. But before she left, she must have left you all the occult knowledge she knew, right?"

Klee looked confused: "Occultism, knowledge... Klee doesn't quite understand. Mom only taught Klee how to make a bouncy bomb."

Diona looked at the two of them, feeling it was quite a coincidence: "So, Klee's mother is Mona's [friend and rival]?"

Mona said solemnly, "Yes, old lady... cough cough... although my master is very skilled in astrology, that's all she knows. Alice is different; she's an all-rounder proficient in all kinds of mystical fields..."

At this point, Mona couldn't help but turn around and glance at Xia Zhi standing behind her.

Although Mr. Xia is blind, he is proficient in cooking, medicine, massage, carving, alchemy, economics, astrology, marksmanship, glass opera, music, and even the art of magic. He is a polymath who is skilled in various fields.

Both being prodigies, Mona had a very strange feeling in her heart, despite the old woman's high praise for Alice's abilities.

She felt that Mr. Xia was definitely more powerful than the legendary witch Alice.

Xia Ci glanced at Ke Li and said, "Ke Li is so young, even if she hears those profound things, she probably won't understand them."

Mona looked at Claire and saw a clarity in her eyes that had never been tainted by knowledge.

Her eyes look somewhat like Charlene's.

Mona could only admit, "Hmm, it seems they only inherited the bloodline, not the knowledge... What a miscalculation, there's no way to compete with them..."

Amber frowned slightly: "A contest?"

Mona chuckled: "Don't be nervous. The contest I'm talking about isn't a violent fight, it's just a battle of knowledge."

Amber relaxed: "Oh, I see."

Mona then looked at Claire and tentatively asked, "Claire, before your mother left, did she tell you about the 'Fifty-Year Promise' and a box?"

Klee's eyes widened: "Oh, Klee knows that! So, you came here to get that box, sis. Let me look for it, just a minute!"

Then, Klee took off the backpack she was carrying, opened it, and began to search carefully.

"This isn't it, this isn't it either... No, no..."

Klee pulled all sorts of odds and ends out of her backpack, piling them up into a small mountain that clearly exceeded the backpack's maximum capacity.

Without a doubt, this seemingly ordinary backpack is actually a spatial item.

Klee suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "Ah! Klee remembers now, I hid it and my new treasure in the Windrise!"

Mona was taken aback: "The wind rises from the ground?"

"Yes!"

Klee nodded, glanced at the setting sun, and her expression became somewhat troubled again.

"But it's so far away, and it's getting dark soon. It seems like we won't be able to bring it over today..."

Mona waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I wasn't in a hurry anyway. Let it stay there for now, and we can find it together when it's convenient for you."

"it is good!"

Klee started stuffing all the odds and ends she had just taken out of her backpack back into her bag.

Mona felt a little guilty watching this.

After all, Klee had made such a mess while looking for her own things, so she couldn't just stand there and watch Klee tidy up by herself. So she squatted down and helped Klee carry her things.

Amber, under Xiangling's guidance, began to get to know the others.

Because the immortals of Liyue don't like to show their faces in public, Liuyun Zhenjun also chose to hide her true identity, just like Granny Ping. She gave herself a pseudonym, Xianyun.

As an ordinary person, Amber naturally couldn't recognize immortals or gods; it was Charlotte's identity as a newspaper reporter that surprised her somewhat.

When it was finally time to introduce Gan Yu, Xiang Ling said to her, "This is Miss Gan Yu, the chief secretary of the Liyue Sept."

Oh, so it's the Chief Secretary of the Seven Stars, huh? Wait... what? The Chief Secretary of the Seven Stars of Liyue?!

Amber was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening.

The young lady before me, who shares some inhuman feature with Diona, is actually a figure on par with the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius!?

Amber quickly straightened her posture and spoke more formally: "Secretary Gan Yu, is there something important that brings you to Mondstadt?"

Gan Yu looked at her and said softly, "There's nothing important. I'm just traveling and want to relax a bit."

"that's it?"

"that's it."

Since Gan Yu answered in this way, Amber didn't press further. She could only nod and keep the question to herself.

Once I return to Mondstadt, I will inform Commander Jean and ask her to receive this dignitary from the neighboring country.

However, to be fair, Secretary Gan Yu seems to have a faint coconut milk scent, which smells really nice...

I heard from merchants that a fantastic new perfume balm appeared in Liyue a while ago, but it's only available to the upper class. Secretary Gan Yu is also from the upper class, so I wonder if she uses that kind of perfume balm...

Meanwhile, Mona tidied up while curiously examining the things she was holding.

These were all common little toys that children like, along with some loose gunpowder, gravel, and fuses...

Mona recalled Amber's earlier talk about frying fish and Klee's talk about making bouncy bombs, and suddenly seemed to understand the origin of her "Spark Knight" title.

She glanced at Claire and saw Claire picking up a bunch of things, seemingly trying to stuff them all into her backpack.

But because she had too many things and her hands were too small, she couldn't hold onto a few items, and they slipped from her arms and fell to the ground.

One of them is a book that resembles a notebook.

The book knocked to the ground, opened up on its own, and lay right at Mona's feet.

Could this be some kind of mysterious knowledge left behind by Alice?

Mona lowered her head slightly, unable to resist stealing a few glances out of the corner of her eye out of curiosity.
