**Chapter 31: Echoes of Loyalty**

Amidst the bustling streets of Liyue, the Twin Travelers found themselves amidst a realm of balance and prosperity. Here, they encountered Hu Tao—a spirited funeral parlor director with a connection to the Pyro Archon and the echoes of ancestral loyalty.

Hu Tao's presence resonated with the tales of loyalty that had shaped Liyue's identity—a realm where bonds between the living and the departed were intertwined like threads of fate. Her stories unveiled a story of commitment, where individuals had upheld their promises across lifetimes, weaving Liyue's essence into an unbreakable tapestry.

Through Hu Tao's guidance, the travelers journeyed through Liyue's history of loyalty, tracing the connections that had shaped the realm's identity. They learned of battles fought against abandonment, battles that had defined Liyue's legacy and the bonds that upheld it.

Yet, amidst the realm's serene beauty, they sensed a disturbance—an entity known as the Eclipsed Oath, a force seeking to sever the connection between loyalty and legacy. The travelers recognized that their journey extended beyond exploration—it was a mission to preserve the echoes of commitment and unity that had shaped Liyue's identity.

With Hu Tao's guidance and the echoes of those who had stood by their word, Lumine and Aether embarked on a quest to defend the bond between loyalty and legacy. Their battle against the Eclipsed Oath was a testament to the power of dedication, unity, and the unwavering determination to protect the legacy that had woven Liyue's past and present into an unbreakable tapestry.
