The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [152]

“Who goes there?!”

The moment Jia Changjiang leapt from above with Lumine and Paimon in tow, they drew the full attention of the Millelith.

Their dramatic entrance was impossible to miss, and in mere moments, the soldiers had connected the trio to the supposed assassination of the Geo Archon.

“It’s the culprits! Capture them!”

A flood of Millelith began surging toward them, weapons at the ready.

“Mr. Jax!” Paimon clung desperately to Jia Changjiang’s head, her tiny frame flailing in panic. “Why did we jump out like that?! Couldn’t we have sneaked away instead?”

“Now they definitely think we’re guilty!”

Tears threatened to spill from Paimon’s eyes. “If they catch us, they’ll lock us up and force us to confess under torture—just like in those martial arts novels!”

“What kind of weird martial arts novels have you been reading?” Jia Changjiang chuckled while deftly maneuvering through the air with his Wind Glider. “Relax. In scenarios like this, crimes of regicide usually end with execution on the spot, no questions asked…”

“Wha—?!”

Paimon’s shriek was so loud it could have scared birds out of the sky.

Meanwhile, Lumine, still hanging onto Jia Changjiang, cast a thoughtful glance at the scene behind them—the ceremony site where the supposed assassination had occurred.

“What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of going back,” Jia Changjiang teased.

Lumine frowned. “Can the Geo Archon really die so easily?”

“Who knows? But…” Jia Changjiang glanced down at the Millelith hot on their trail and smirked.

“The soldiers down there don’t seem willing to stick around and hear our explanation.”

With a laugh, he added, “Remember back in Mondstadt when we stole the Holy Lyre? The Knights of Favonius chased us then. Now we’ve got the Millelith after us here. At this rate, we’ll be pursued by every military force across the Seven Nations!”

Jia Changjiang laughed harder, steering the glider with ease. “We’d be legendary! Just imagine the stories—wanted in all Seven Nations! Hahaha!”

While he was busy enjoying his own joke, the Millelith below had already dispatched archers, their arrows aimed squarely at the trio in the sky.

“Mr. Jax! Do something! They’re about to shoot at us!” Paimon wailed, her voice thick with panic.

Jia Changjiang’s grin turned mischievous.

“Fire!”

The Millelith loosed their arrows, but just as they were about to strike, Jia Changjiang abruptly retracted his Wind Glider, plummeting toward the ground with Lumine and Paimon. The arrows sailed harmlessly overhead, missing their mark entirely.

From a distance, a man with bright orange hair dressed in a Snezhnayan coat observed the scene with growing interest.

“Those two… Are they the Mondstadt Honorary Knight and her companion the Lady mentioned?”

His eyes gleamed with curiosity. “So that’s Jax—the one who defeated the Lady?”

With a chuckle, he muttered, “Quite the coincidence. His name is almost like mine... Ajax, Jax… Guess I’ll have to take a closer look.”

This man, none other than Childe—executive of the Fatui Harbingers—decided to follow the trio.

Meanwhile, Jia Changjiang, Lumine, and Paimon were free-falling toward the rooftops below.

“Mr. Jax! We’re going to crash-aaaaahhh!” Paimon screamed, her voice distorted by the rush of wind.

Strangely, both Jia Changjiang and Lumine seemed more exhilarated than terrified as they hurtled downward.

Just before they smashed into the rooftops, Jia Changjiang’s Wind Glider reopened, allowing them to skim mere inches above the tiles before landing.

He then started sprinting across the rooftops, carrying Lumine over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

“Ugh… Jia… Chang… Jiang!” Lumine protested, her words punctuated by the jolts of his running. “Put me down!”

Every step sent a jarring thump to her stomach, and she felt like her breakfast was about to come back up. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. With a swift kick, she sent Jia Changjiang tumbling off the rooftop.

“What kind of lunatic carries a girl like that?!” she fumed. “I could’ve just run on my own!”

Jia Changjiang landed gracefully on the ground below, dusting himself off. He glanced up at Lumine, who was still on the roof with Paimon. “We’re on the run, Lumine. Do you really have time to complain?”

“That hurt!” Lumine yelled, hurling a passionfruit at him. “Why don’t you try it?!”

Catching the fruit effortlessly, Jia Changjiang grinned. “Fine. If you insist!”

Just as the Millelith caught up, they were greeted by an utterly bizarre sight: a petite blonde girl in a white dress sprinting across the rooftops while carrying a towering man on her shoulder.

And she wasn’t just running—she was leaping from roof to roof, rhythmically bouncing Jia Changjiang’s stomach against her shoulder.

“Would you two stop messing around already?!” Paimon scolded, flailing her arms. “The Millelith are right behind us!”

Hearing this, Lumine finally dropped Jia Changjiang, and the pair jumped off the rooftop, darting into Liyue’s narrow alleys to evade pursuit.

Unfortunately, the Millelith were far more familiar with Liyue’s terrain than the two outsiders.

Before long, Jia Changjiang and Lumine found themselves cornered in a dead-end alley, with Millelith closing in from both sides.

“Surrender at once!”

The soldiers advanced, spears pointed directly at them, slowly backing the pair into a tighter corner.

Lumine drew her sword, ready to fight her way out.

Above them, Childe prepared to jump in, but before he could act, someone else beat him to it.

With a deafening crash, several Millelith were sent flying out of the alley, creating an opening in the encirclement.

The disruption allowed Jia Changjiang and Lumine to slip through the gap and escape.

Childe, now poised awkwardly on a rooftop, hesitated for a moment before laughing to himself.

“Well, that was unexpected. But seeing Jax handle the Millelith so efficiently without even harming them… Interesting.”

He watched the trio flee, his interest in them only growing.

“Defeating the Lady should’ve required much greater strength…”

Childe’s gaze sharpened as he began to follow them, eager to uncover more about these intriguing fugitives.
