Thomas was somewhat shocked when he heard Qiu Nian's words and glanced at the Mora in Qiu Nian's hand.
He had been living on the outlying islands for so long, but he had never met this Mr. Qiu Nian.
So, from where did this Mr. Qiu Nian learn about the situation on the outlying islands?
"Judging from your expression, it seems like something urgent has come up."
"Alright then, we'll accept Mora for you."
Upon hearing this, Ying nodded, looking at Qiu Nian, whose expression remained as calm as ever.
He then took the heavy bag of Mora.
Qiu Nian nodded and then walked forward.
Under the watchful eyes of Ying, Paimon, and Thomas, Qiu Nian made a turn and disappeared from their sight.
"Why are you being so mysterious?"
Paimon looked in the direction where Qiu Nian had disappeared and scratched his head in confusion.
"Ha ha..."
"This Mr. Akimoto really knows Inatsuma well..."
Thomas smiled and looked in the direction where Qiu Nian had disappeared.
"What is Qiu Nian going to do?"
Xuehua looked at Qiu Nian leaving in the storyline, completely bewildered.
[Could he be going to find that pink fox from the PV? (crying)]
[Damn it, I knew that pink-furred fox had something to do with Qiu Nian!]
[Not necessarily. Didn't you all notice that Qiu Nian glanced at the sea before leaving?]
Could there be something on the surface of the sea?
And beneath the distant sea, a woman with long white hair and red eyes...
Her long hair swayed freely with the ocean currents.
She wore a dress and stockings unlike those of the Teyvats, with stars flowing on the stockings.
Her face was aloof and cold; at first glance, she looked like an ice beauty from another world.
"Have we been discovered...?"
"Who exactly is that person...?"
The woman, beneath the sea, gazed in the direction Inazuma had left the island and murmured softly.
Although her face remained calm, the surprise in her beautiful eyes did not diminish at all.
Too strange...
Perhaps this was the most indescribable person she had ever met in her life.
When the handsome young man turned around, it was as if he was looking directly at her across space.
What kind of feeling is that?
She didn't know...
The seven gods of Teyvat, including the one who descended, or perhaps one's own master.
Abyss, elemental power?
No, none of these things had ever given her this inexplicable feeling.
What exactly is that being...?
"Uh..."
Suddenly, the woman with the calm and aloof expression raised her head, and even her pupils contracted sharply.
She remembered that feeling...
A memory flashed through the woman's trembling red pupils.
In the memory, the girl was kneeling on the ground.
A giant star in the distance is gradually descending from the clouds...
It was a sense of powerlessness... a heavy, empty, and deathly silence, an inescapable despair.
"but..."
This feeling is somewhat different from how I felt back then.
So what exactly are the differences...?
The woman's expression gradually calmed down.
Although she didn't know exactly what made the feeling different, she was certain.
The handsome young man's power must be related to him in some way.
However, this connection is very weak, perhaps because she possesses the power of the abyss, which is why she can perceive these things.
Moreover, she could barely discern that the handsome young man possessed another kind of power.
This power is the complete opposite of this feeling.
But perhaps it's because she carries the power of the abyss.
This time, I couldn't sense even the slightest connection.
Moreover, she was quite certain that the slightest connection she could detect was deliberately leaked by the other party.
Otherwise, her perception of this mysterious young man would remain completely nonexistent.
Whether it's complete nothingness or that strange, faint, familiar connection.
All of this is enough to prove how mysterious and terrifying this young man is...
But even though it was terrifying, it was still not enough to frighten her.
Moreover, when the young man was looking at her just now, she didn't sense any malice; on the contrary, she felt a hint of goodwill.
"But why is he beside this person who has arrived..."
The woman frowned slightly, looking puzzled.
"Now that he has discovered me and shows no ill will, shall we go and see him?"
A woman with a cold expression emerged from the sea, gazing in the direction of Inazuma, seemingly hesitating about something.
On the streets of an outlying island.
Qiu Nian was strolling down the street when she leisurely stretched out a hand and caught a maple leaf that had fallen from a maple tree.
A gentle breeze swept by, and the woman who had been on the sea earlier appeared not far behind Qiu Nian.
The woman stared at the young man's retreating figure, momentarily at a loss for words.
They just watched the young man's back quietly.
"What is your name, young lady?"
Qiu Nian turned around, looked at the cold-faced woman in front of her, and asked.
"Silkcock."
Looking at the peaceful and harmonious autumn scene before her, Silky replied.
Now, facing this young man up close, that sense of emptiness is even more pronounced.
If there hadn't actually been a person standing in front of her, she would have really thought there was no one there.
Although it appeared that the wind was blowing the young man's robes and long hair.
But in reality, the wind still flows as if there were nothing here.
For a long time, she tried to avoid getting close to people when she traveled to Teyvat, and she was very cautious about gathering information.
Aside from that descendant, there wasn't much else that garnered her attention; she spent most of her time training in the abyss.
And now, there's one more person worth paying attention to.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian smiled faintly and introduced herself.
Even before, when I was gazing at the sea.
He had already discovered that Skykirk's limbs were shaped by the power of the abyss.
And what it uses is the power of the abyss.
Silky...
He remembered that this woman should be the young master's teacher.
This woman's master is the Evil Rider, one of the five great sinners mentioned by Dain.
Unexpectedly, she was actually observing Ying's movements.
Chapter 157 Silky's duel with Qiu Nian
"Autumn Twenty..."
Silky repeated the name in a low voice, somewhat bewildered, as if such a name did not exist in her memory.
"A name I've never heard of."
After pondering for a moment, Silky shook her head slightly at Qiu Nian.
"I don't want to talk to the weak."
"Only those who are powerful enough are qualified to speak with me as equals."
"If you want to continue the conversation, prove your strength first."
After Skirk finished speaking, a fighting spirit ignited in her red pupils.
Immediately afterwards, a strangely shaped longsword appeared in his hand, and he looked at Qiu Nian in front of him.
