The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [322]

After answering Lumine’s question, Jia Changjiang, Lumine, and Paimon took a final look around the hidden chamber.

Having retrieved the [Snow-Tombed Starsilver] and other treasures from within, Jia Changjiang and Lumine exited the chamber.

At that moment, a voice from the system echoed in Jia Changjiang’s mind:

[Skyfrost Nail Quest Completed. Reward successfully claimed: Weapon Gacha Ticket x1.]
[Unlocking the Hidden Chamber Quest Completed. Reward successfully claimed: Special Combined Gacha Ticket x1.]
[Two Weapon Gacha Tickets and one Special Combined Gacha Ticket detected. Consolidating...]
[Consolidation complete: Combined Gacha Ticket x1 received.]

Though the rewards were tempting, Jia Changjiang wasn’t in the mood to redeem them just yet.

Stepping out of the chamber, he was greeted once more by the icy winds of the snowy mountain.

“Shall we head down the mountain?” Jia Changjiang suggested, his tone light. “Our journey here wasn’t bad, don’t you think?”

“Mm…” Lumine glanced back at the chamber one last time. “It was... enlightening. I feel like I’ve learned so much.”

“Let’s go,” Jia Changjiang said. “There’s more waiting for us.”

Not long after Jia Changjiang and Lumine left the chamber, a towering figure appeared before its entrance.

Wuku stood there, gazing at the now-opened chamber and the murals within—unchanged even after a millennium. He closed his eyes slowly, turned around, and left without a word.

In the snowy mountain, even tears are forbidden.
For in the unending blizzard, they would only freeze, solidifying into icy remnants of sorrow.

As Jia Changjiang and Lumine approached the base of the mountain, a sudden, thunderous roar echoed from above.

“What... what was that?!” Paimon yelped, immediately darting behind Lumine. “Is it some kind of monster?”

Lumine drew her sword, her eyes narrowing. “Judging from the sound, it could be a Hilichurl. Is it one of the mountain’s Frostarm Lawachurls?”

Turning her head, she spotted a massive, snow-white figure standing atop a cliff, its voice reverberating through the air.

Lumine prepared to strike first, but Jia Changjiang placed a firm hand on her arm, stopping her.

Confused, she glanced at him. Jia Changjiang shook his head.

“It’s not here to attack us. It’s here to see us off.”

“See us off?” Lumine blinked, stunned. “Jia Changjiang, are you feeling okay? That’s a Hilichurl! And not just any Hilichurl—it’s a Frostarm Lawachurl! How could it possibly be here to see us off?”

Jia Changjiang simply shook his head again, his expression calm. Taking a deep breath, he turned toward Wuku and shouted into the wind.

Wuku’s response came in the form of another resounding roar. The two voices intertwined in the swirling blizzard, dissipating into the boundless snow.

Having heard Jia Changjiang’s response, Wuku gazed in their direction one last time before turning to leave. The massive figure vanished into the endless storm of Dragonspine.

Jia Changjiang, too, turned and began walking toward the base of the mountain.

Lumine, still in shock, hurried to catch up. “Jia Changjiang, how... how did you do that?!”

“It’s simple,” Jia Changjiang replied, glancing back at the now-empty mountaintop. “Because he’s my friend. That was just a farewell between friends.”

“Is that so...” Lumine fell silent, walking beside him for a while before suddenly muttering, “Jax... you’re not secretly a Hilichurl yourself, are you?”

“Oh, stop it!” Jia Changjiang rolled his eyes. “If I’m a Hilichurl, then you’re a Slime!”

Laughing, the trio—Jia Changjiang, Lumine, and Paimon—continued their journey back to Mondstadt. With that, their days-long adventure on the snowy mountain came to an end.

After returning to Mondstadt, the first thing Lumine did was rush to Good Hunter for a proper meal.

While the snowy mountain had been full of wonders and surprises—and she and Jia Changjiang had each acquired a powerful weapon—the food there had been awful.

Now back in Mondstadt, she was determined to indulge in as much delicious meat as possible.

Afterward, Jia Changjiang and Lumine visited the Knights of Favonius Library. With Lisa’s help, they copied the snowy mountain’s story into a book and placed it in the library’s most prominent spot.

Their next stop? Liyue.

Lumine had brewed a large batch of potions before their journey, and now was the perfect time to find a suitable market to sell them.

Moreover, they needed to find a publisher for the snowy mountain’s tale.

Lumine recalled Chang Jiuye and Xingqiu. Both were tied to the world of literature.

She had even helped Chang Jiuye deliver one of his novels to Yae Publishing House before, with assistance from the Feiyun Commerce Guild.

And since Xingqiu was the second young master of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, perhaps he could help publish the snowy mountain story as well.

In fact, they had already decided on the title: Snow-Tombed—a name that echoed the weapon forged of starsilver, carrying memories of their journey.

Upon arriving in Liyue Harbor via a ley line, Jia Changjiang and Lumine set out to conduct business.

However, they quickly learned that setting up shop in Liyue required filing paperwork with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Yuejing Terrace.

Thus, on a crisp morning, the two headed to Yuejing Terrace to apply for a business license.

As they approached, they noticed three women in dark red uniforms—secretaries of the Qixing—with tired, shadowed eyes, deep in discussion.

“Hm?”

Lumine’s sharp memory for faces kicked in. “Aren’t they Ningguang’s closest aides? I saw them once on the Jade Chamber...”

She rubbed her chin thoughtfully. “If I remember correctly, their names are Baiwen, Baixiao, and Baishi.”

“And how do you remember that so clearly?” Jia Changjiang couldn’t help but comment.

The three secretaries, still discussing their workload, eventually noticed the approaching pair.

“Hey there! How’s Ningguang doing these days?” Lumine greeted them cheerfully. “You all look exhausted. What’s going on?”

“It’s... a long story,” Baiwen replied, shaking her head and rubbing her tired eyes. “Lady Ningguang is well, but things in Liyue have been hectic lately. By the way...”

“Have either of you seen Miss Ganyu? We’re... on the verge of collapse here...”
