Chapter 278 Swimming
Hearing the blonde girl's words, Liu Bai turned around and looked at her.
"...Oh, it was you, little yellow-haired boy, who hit me just now!"
After seeing the girl's appearance clearly, Liu Bai recalled what had just happened.
"..."
The blonde girl glanced away guiltily, put her hands behind her back and used one foot to push the edgeless sword at her feet further away.
"Ah... I'm really sorry, but Traveler, it wasn't intentional. I was hit because you suddenly appeared just now."
The white-haired little guy flew to the blonde girl and waved his hands to explain to Liu Bai, hoping that he would not be angry.
"It seems so... Then remember not to use your skills on others who suddenly appear next time."
After thinking for a while, Liu Bai agreed with what the white-haired boy said, nodded and reminded him.
"Who knows where someone might suddenly appear..."
The little white-haired guy was speechless.
"And speaking of which, who are you? Why did you suddenly appear?"
Then the little white-haired guy couldn't help but ask Liu Bai.
"Eh? Girl, don't you recognize me?"
Liu Bai pointed at himself and looked at her in confusion.
"What a strange name... You must have recognized the wrong person. My name is Paimon, and this is the traveler, Ying."
In response to Liu Bai calling out that name twice in a row, the white-haired little guy named Paimeng had to say his own name immediately.
The girl named Ying took advantage of Liu Bai's attention being drawn to Paimeng and bent down to pick up her edgeless sword.
This is her only weapon now, which she snatched from the box of the Hillilchul people shortly after she woke up.
"Oh...it's really not my girl. I thought you got shorter again..."
Liu Bai observed Paimeng carefully and then nodded.
"I'm working hard to grow... No, no, you haven't told me who you are yet. Why are you suddenly here?"
Paimeng put his hands on his hips, but halfway through his words he suddenly remembered that Liu Bai hadn't answered his question yet, so he quickly asked again.
"Oh, I'm just a passing armed helicopter, you can call me Liu Bai."
"I was planning to go to Mondstadt, but why am I here..."
Liu Bai scratched his head and looked around in confusion. There was no sign of a town.
"Are you going to Mondstadt, too? We happen to be going there, so why don't we take you there as an apology?"
Paimeng's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Ying and made a suggestion to Liu Bai.
Ying didn't mind Paimon's self-assertion, but she still felt a little guilty.
"Okay...huh?"
Liu Bai nodded in agreement, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a huge movement in the sky.
Ying and Paimon also heard the noise and quickly raised their heads.
I saw a huge blue creature with six pairs of wings spread flying through the air, and the loud sound of the air vibrating announced its presence.
"Ugh, what is that?"
"Is there something huge...flying in the sky?"
Paimon was frightened by the huge creature in the air and quickly hid beside Ying.
"Is that... a dragon?"
Ying didn't expect to suddenly encounter such a huge creature, and spoke with some doubt.
"Wow, Longlong looks so familiar."
Liu Bai felt that the giant dragon that just flew across the sky looked very familiar.
"I wonder if dragon meat tastes good..."
Then Liu Bai muttered again.
Paimon: "?"
Paimeng tilted his head and looked at Liu Bai.
Even I have never thought of eating dragon meat, but he actually...
"It has already flown far away. We should be safe. Let's go quickly. It's too conspicuous here on the island in the middle of the lake. If it flies back, it might be noticed."
Ying thought the giant dragon in the sky was a monster-like existence, so she gave a vigilant warning.
Based on her experience in the past few months since she woke up, monsters will attack humans as soon as they see them, unless there are too many people they dare not attack.
"Well, let's go quickly. If we keep going in this direction, we will see Mondstadt."
Paimon, the guide, nodded immediately and pointed to the southwest of Starfall Lake.
Liu Bai nodded in response.
Then Liu Bai saw Ying dive into the Xingluo Lake and swim towards the other side of the lake.
And Paimon flew over the water to cheer her on.
"Come on, traveler, we're less than a hundred meters away from shore!"
Paimon shouted in the air for the blonde girl in the water.
“…Can I swim?”
Looking at the lake in front of him, Liu Bai fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Ying who was about to reach the shore.
“I picked this up!”
The next moment, a wet girl appeared out of nowhere beside Liu Bai.
"Don't walk so fast. Can you teach me how to swim? I don't think I can swim."
Liu Bai asked Ying seriously.
fluorescent:"……?"
Finally, with Ying pressing his head and teaching, Liu Bai successfully remembered that he actually knew how to swim.
Water element spreads——
After the two swam to the other side, Ying used the wind element he had just mastered to disperse the water on his body and clothes.
If it were in the past, every time she got wet, she would have to light a bonfire, take off her clothes and roast herself next to it for a while.
Elemental power is so convenient...
"It would be great if you could fly. You could come here like Paimon and you wouldn't have to be so tired."
Looking at the two people enjoying the breeze, Paimon, the only one who was not wet, said regretfully.
With her strength, she couldn't drag either Liu Bai or Ying.
"Ah? Actually, I can fly."
Hearing Paimeng's words, Liu Bai scratched his head.
"Eh? Really? How did you do that? You don't look like you have wings either?"
Paimeng moved closer in confusion and looked around Liu Bai's body.
“Just fly like this.”
As Liu Bai spoke, he raised one hand and made a sword gesture. A flying sword appeared out of thin air under his butt and lifted him up while he was sitting on the grass.
"Wow, so amazing, he actually flew while sitting on a sword!"
Paimeng was shocked and looked around curiously. He even went close to Liu Bai and stretched out his hand to feel under the flying sword to confirm that there was nothing invisible supporting it.
"..."
Ying silently withdrew the hand that was blowing the wind elemental force towards Liu Bai.
Just let it air dry naturally. I won’t blow dry it for you!
Blowing on herself with both hands, Ying's clothes dried quickly, and then the three of them continued their journey towards Mondstadt.
Along the way, Paimeng stayed close to Liu Bai, chattering and asking him questions like why he could fly just now and what that flying sword was.
The three of them came to a forest. According to Paimon, they could see Mondstadt through the forest.
But as soon as they entered the woods, the three of them discovered something.
A black-haired boy in green clothes stood in front of a giant blue-green dragon. On his temples hung two braids that gradually turned blue-green.
"…Don't worry, I'm back."
The boy said something to the dragon in a gentle tone.
"Wow! Long, we meet again, what a coincidence!"
Ying, Paimeng and the others wanted to hide and observe secretly, but Liu Bai had already waved his hand and walked out.
The young man quickly turned around and glanced at Liu Bai, with a slightly surprised look on his face.
"Roar--!"
When the dragon saw Liu Bai, its eyes seemed to be filled with anger and it let out an angry roar.
It was this guy who woke me up from my sleep!
