Chapter 155: Venti: Why Do I Feel Like Mr. Amon Has Become Stronger?

High above the Inazuma Sea, Yae Miko stood with her arms crossed, her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing at Raiden Ei beside her.

Although Ei appeared calm and expressionless, seemingly unmoved by the events below, Yae Miko knew better.

She could sense that it was Raiden Ei who had granted Visions to Beidou and Keqing as they faced Beisht.

Yae Miko's lips curled into a mischievous smile as she covered her mouth and laughed softly.

"Oh my, oh my," she teased.

"I thought our Shogun would remain indifferent to this situation. I didn't expect her to be more anxious to take action than I am."

Raiden Ei, accustomed to Yae Miko's playful remarks, paid her no mind.

Instead, Ei turned her gaze toward the sky in the direction of Liyue.

"I can feel that the auras of Barbatos and Morax have been restrained," Ei murmured softly.

"Though I don't know what they are doing together, I can tell they likely have no intention of meeting me."

"In that case, there's no need for me to linger here," she continued.

"Miko, I'm heading back."

As she spoke, a rift in space-time opened behind Ei, leading to the Plane of Euthymia.

Ei trusted Yae Miko to handle the aftermath of this event.

Despite her sharp words, Miko had a kind heart and would manage things responsibly.

Yae Miko stood still, her voice soft as she called out, "Leaving so soon, Shogun?"

Her eyes turned toward the Kamisato family's ships, deep in thought.

"But I think the truly exciting part hasn't even begun," she said with a sly smile.

"Like any good novel, every story needs its climax. Wouldn't it be a pity if you missed it?"

Raiden Ei paused mid-step, saying nothing.

Seeing this, Yae Miko's smile deepened.

"That's right. Stay a little longer," she encouraged.

"I'll tell you this—a traveler named Amon will certainly leave an impression on you."

"Perhaps he might even pique your interest."

Meanwhile, high above Liyue, Dvalin had arrived, bringing Venti and others to the scene.

From the air, they observed Beisht wreaking havoc, targeting the Kamisato family's ships.

Zhongli's first instinct was to use his divine power to suppress Beisht back into the sea.

However, just as he was about to act, he noticed Beidou and Shen He awakening their Visions.

Zhongli was visibly surprised to see the children successfully counter Beisht's assault.

Beisht, while not as formidable as Osial, was still far beyond the capability of ordinary Vision holders to combat.

Yet these were mere children.

Had Zhongli not witnessed it himself, he would never have believed such a feat possible.

He recognized the children—they were protégés of Amon.

This realization brought clarity to Zhongli.

The remarkable performance of the little ones must have been due to Amon's influence.

Zhongli's gaze lingered on Keqing and Ningguang for a moment.

Noticing this, Guizhong waved her slender fingers in front of him, a playful pout on her lips.

"Hey, Morax, what are you staring at?" she asked, feigning annoyance.

Zhongli replied calmly, "I was simply thinking that Liyue's next Qixing might already be chosen."

Guizhong followed his gaze to Ningguang and Beidou.

"You think it's those two kids?"

Zhongli didn't answer directly.

"First, let's bring all this to an end," he said slowly.

With that, Zhongli turned his attention back to Beisht, his eyes calm and resolute as he prepared to suppress the sea monster.

Just then, Venti, standing nearby, pointed toward the deck.

"Morax, look! Mr. Amon has finally appeared!"

Hearing this, Zhongli stopped his sealing technique.

Earlier, Amon's absence had led Zhongli to prepare for intervention as a last resort.

But Zhongli had always preferred to avoid interfering in Liyue's affairs.

If Amon could resolve the situation, it would be ideal.

As Zhongli observed Amon, Venti rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Morax," Venti mused, "doesn't it feel like Mr. Amon is... different somehow?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but he seems stronger than before."

Zhongli, too, turned his gaze toward Amon.

After a long silence, Zhongli finally spoke.

"Indeed. In that case, I can rest at ease."
