Chapter 325

Aether was completely numb at this moment.

What the hell? Had his sister gone crazy?

What happened?

Why was she attacking without a word?

Seeing Lumine's furious expression, Aether didn't dare to fight back.

He could only keep dodging.

"Lumine!"

"Don't call my name."

"I don't have a brother like you!!"

Lumine had no intention of listening to him at all.

The commotion outside also woke up Paimon inside the villa.

She hurriedly flew out.

"What happened? What's going on?!"

"Lumine?!"

Paimon, upon flying out, was shocked to see Lumine engaged in battle.

She was completely stunned.

The battle wasn't just attracting Paimon's attention.

It also caught the interest of Yae Miko, who was observing from above.

Aether, now fully aware of the dire situation, felt uneasy.

Lumine was refusing to listen to him.

Seeing her persistence, he frowned.

He felt helpless.

No brother like him?

That was painful.

Seeing more people gathering, he had no choice but to retreat for now.

Thinking quickly, Aether opened a space portal and stepped inside.

"Lumine, I'll come back for you next time."

However, Lumine cursed at him without hesitation.

"Go away! Who asked you to come here?!"

"Don't ever appear in front of me again!"

"Go be a prince in your Abyss!!"

Hearing Lumine's words, Aether turned to look at her in shock.

How did she know?

As soon as this thought surfaced, the portal to the Abyss closed.

Lumine threw her sword onto the ground in frustration.

Then she continued to curse.

There was no doubt now—Takumi had been telling the truth.

That guy really enjoyed his life in the Abyss.

And yet, he had left her to wander Teyvat alone.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Good grief, she really wanted to stab him a few times!

But for now, she was relieved.

It wasn't like her brother was dead.

Still, she was beyond unhappy.

Next time she saw him, she'd definitely cut him down!

"Lumine?"

Paimon, seeing Lumine's rage, felt worried.

Hearing Paimon's voice, Lumine shook her head.

"I'm fine."

"Let me wash my face, then let's go shopping."

"That kind of brother—if I see him again, I'll cut him down!"

With that, Lumine turned and went back inside the villa.

Paimon blinked.

Huh?

When she had first met Lumine, she had been longing for her brother.

And now she wanted to kill him?

Hmm.

Scratching her head, Paimon was confused.

But she didn't think too much about it and simply followed Lumine inside.

Meanwhile, Yae Miko looked at the spot where Aether had vanished.

She wore a thoughtful expression.

"Oh my~!"

"Looks like I've stumbled upon something interesting."

"Was that the Abyss?"

She was genuinely surprised.

She hadn't expected to see someone from the Abyss appear so suddenly.

After pondering for a moment, Yae Miko took out her phone.

Then she sent a message to Takumi.

Yae Miko:

[The man from the Abyss appeared.]

[Just had a fight with Lumine.]

After sending the message, she turned around and re-entered her room, continuing her conversation with others.

Takumi, upon receiving the message, was a bit surprised.

A person from the Abyss had appeared and fought with Lumine?

It had to be Aether, right?

Thinking this, Takumi replied directly.

Takumi:

[Don't worry about it.]

[Lumine's brother is the Prince of the Abyss.]

After sending his response, Takumi didn't think too much about it.

He hadn't expected Aether to show up looking for Lumine.

And to start a fight immediately?

Well, it seemed like Lumine was serious about cutting down her brother.

Yae Miko saw Takumi's reply.

Slowly, a question mark appeared in her mind.

Wait…

Lumine's brother was the Prince of the Abyss?

What the hell?!

What had she just witnessed?

For a moment, Yae Miko was stunned.

It felt like she had just uncovered a major secret.

Now, her curiosity was piqued.

She had never imagined Lumine had such a background.

But after thinking about it, she let it go.

After all, the Abyss wasn't exactly a good thing.

On the other side, Aether had returned to the Abyss, feeling completely bewildered.

What had just happened?

What was wrong with Lumine?

Did this have something to do with Takumi?

Thinking about that guy—who was even more terrifying than Celestia—Aether frowned.

He had seen what Takumi had done to Osial.

That guy had casually summoned black holes.

After witnessing that, Aether had made a decision.

Never provoke Takumi.

Mostly because he couldn't win!

Now, he was truly at a loss.

Had Takumi told Lumine something that turned her against him?

Thinking of this, Aether suddenly felt frustrated.

What a mess!

Takumi remained unaware of Aether's thoughts.

After finishing his work in Qingce Village, he took Sucrose and prepared to return to Liyue.

Many children from Qingce Village had enrolled in school.

Soon, the school bus would arrive to pick them up.

This had been a strict requirement from Granny Ruoxin.

Some children didn't want to study.

But Granny Ruoxin had made it clear—if they didn't go to school, they had no place in Qingce Village.

If they didn't take advantage of free education, what were they doing here?

Not just Granny Ruoxin—many parents held the same view.

Free schooling was available, yet some children refused to go?

That was rebellious behavior!

As a result, many parents had resorted to scolding or even spanking their children.

That night, while Takumi stayed in Qingce Village, he heard plenty of children crying.

It was quite the scene.

Takumi helped Sucrose pack all her alchemy equipment.

He stored it in the God's Heart before setting off for Guili Plains.

If Sucrose had been alone, she wouldn't have been able to carry so much equipment.

The two of them rode their bikes straight to Guili Plains.

On the way back, Takumi thought about something.

Should he figure out a way to establish positioning services?

The Internet had already spread far and wide.

Even though there were no satellites, setting up positioning systems in Teyvat seemed feasible.

It would be a simple task with the current technology.

If he could establish proper positioning, he could even upgrade missiles.

Even at sea, no one would have to worry about getting lost.

Yes, there were plenty of benefits.

He would research it upon returning.

Takumi and Sucrose eventually arrived back at Guili Plains.

He took her straight to Albedo's alchemy workshop.

Returning to this place, Sucrose was stunned.

She almost didn't recognize it.

The transformation was too drastic.

Was this truly Guili Plains?

It was amazing!
