“If you think tomorrow’s too soon, Ayaka, we can wait a bit longer. I’ll be around Inazuma for a while, so just let me know when you’re ready,” Luo Qing said casually.
“It’s fine,” Ayaka shook her head firmly. “Tomorrow is perfect.”
She had rehearsed everything she...

Decarabian glanced at the group. "Most of what you asked was within my expectations. Still... I suppose I’m fortunate you have some peculiarities among you."

2024-11-07 21:27:53 +0000 UTC View PostDecarabian's downfall had been inevitable, brought about by the people's desire for freedom, shattering the mighty Fierce Wind in their pursuit. Of course, historians painted this story in simple, palatable terms, a comforting fairy tale to soothe ignorance. But the truth? The King of the Tower w...

Kaeya mused, stroking his chin thoughtfully. “So… will you give us a moment to discuss our questions?”
“Discussing how to best extract information from me?” Decarabian replied, his tone faintly mocking. “Don’t bother. I won’t ...
2024-11-07 21:27:35 +0000 UTC View PostEven the tower’s master seemed baffled by Gu Sanqiu’s actions, as they were supposed to be allies who’d arrived here together.
But with Bennett now looking as though he’d ingested some bizarre, vicious poison—a kind that seems purpose-built to inflict as much suffering as possible...
2024-11-07 21:27:29 +0000 UTC View PostWhen everyone who could pass through the invisible barrier had entered the tower, Gu Sanqiu noticed a foggy swirl of wind elements surrounding him.
When the mist dissipated, he looked around, realizing he was alone in the vast, empty hall.
"Interesting. A solo trial, huh?"
He sc...

"Oh? But I'm being completely serious~" Luo Qing chuckled softly, leaning forward and propping his chin...
2024-11-06 21:10:41 +0000 UTC View PostA full day had passed.
Though he didn’t go through each move one-on-one, Luo Qing still took the time to carefully explain the core concepts of Thunder Breathing to each student. He wasn’t going to be like the teachers from his past life, constantly watching over them. His job was to le...
2024-11-06 21:10:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe morning passed, and the forty students, who had yet to see any actual sword techniques—only endless group dancing—were growing visibly frustrated.
Some took the opportunity to complain to Kujou Sara during the lunch break, but all they got in return was:
"Mr. Luo Qing has a pl...
2024-11-06 21:10:32 +0000 UTC View PostKujou Sara furrowed her brow and asked coldly, "What kind of clothes are you planning to order?"
"Does that mean you agree, Miss Kujou?"
Luo Qing’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he rubbed his hands together. "How about we go to Ogura Textiles right now to discuss the details?" 2024-11-06 21:10:28 +0000 UTC View Post
Kamisato Ayaka felt conflicted.
Just a moment ago, she had only slightly lost her balance. As a swordsman of Kei Den level, there was no way she would have actually fallen.
Yet, just as she was about to regain her footing, Luo Qing’s hand had reached out and wrapped ar...

A deep, classic villain's voice echoed as a massive teal hand stretched out from the top of the tower, casually catching the lightning-charged dragon just before it could crash into the spire.
The enormous hand clenched, and with surprising ease, it extingu...

2024-11-06 21:09:45 +0000 UTC View PostThis was, of course, a joke; even if there were some ancient twelve-symbol prophecy here, Mondstadt’s timelines wouldn’t align with it anyway.
Pulling a length of rope from his waist, Gu Sanqiu secured the token and held it by the other end like a leash.
Naturally, he wasn’t abo...

Xia Luo rolled his eyes. "Have...
