Miss Kiana should spare for Kaito's sake, right... Before deciding to leave, Childe couldn't help but think this as he looked at the figure ahead, thinking.
He knew that if Miss Kiana could really do what she had just said, he, hiding here, would have been discovered long ago.
Okay... Ti to go collect so debts from the Treasure Hoarders... I don't know anything... I don't know anything...
Silently turning around, Childe began to sneak away while chanting in his mind that he knew nothing, and left quietly.
But just then, Miss Kiana's voice rang out again, nearly scaring the life out of Childe, who froze mid-step.
"What? You don't believe ?"
Miss Kiana... You scared ...
Taking another step, a bitter smile appeared on Childe's face.
Honestly, if he had heard words like Miss Kiana's from anyone else, he wouldn't have believed them. At the very least, he would have stayed to observe the situation further.
But there was no helping it. Miss Kiana was different; she was Kaito's girlfriend.
In Childe's eyes, since one of Kaito's girlfriends was the Anemo Archon, it was obvious that Miss Kiana, also his girlfriend, was no simple character either.
Therefore, just from eavesdropping on that explosive conversation, Childe had already decided to retreat, and that's exactly what he was doing now.
"So, Childe, do you believe ?"
Just as he took a step, Childe heard another sentence that made him freeze.
So I was discovered after all...
For so reason, at that mont, Childe actually cald down.
Since he had truly been discovered, he might as well show himself.
At worst... it's just death...
Thinking this, Childe quickly moved to stand beside Kiana and the little girl.
Of course, he still maintained a certain distance.
After all, if soone were to suddenly make a move, he needed ti to react. Although he might not be able to react in ti, so precautions still had to be taken first.
"I'm not sure what Miss Kiana wants to believe?" Childe was still planning to play dumb for a bit.
In any case, he had to keep up appearances, even if it turned out to be unnecessary later.
"Stop playing dumb. I'm talking about what you just heard."
It seed Kiana had no intention of playing along with Childe.
Uh...
Faced with such a direct Miss Kiana, Childe didn't know how best to respond for a mont.
Actually, he was still skeptical, but Miss Wendy's power had left such a deep impression on him, so he didn't outright choose to disbelieve. All in all, he was half-believing, half-doubting.
I should just answer honestly...
After thinking for a mont, Childe decided to voice his true thoughts: "To be honest, I don't really believe it. It's just that Miss Wendy's strength left such a deep impression on that I'm sort of believing it, but also sort of not."
After speaking, Childe remained extrely focused, worried that Kiana might attack him or sothing.
"It seems you want a demonstration of my power."
Under Childe's nervous gaze, Kiana looked as if she was preparing to make a move.
And at that very mont, Childe felt a terrifying power emanating from Kiana, one clearly even more frightening than Miss Wendy's.
"No need, no need, Miss Kiana! I believe you, I believe you!"
Having been thoroughly beaten by Wendy before, Childe had learned his lesson and quickly waved his hands to refuse.
If this had been the old him, however, he definitely would have wanted to test her, after all, an opponent with this kind of strength was extrely rare.
But the last ti he had that thought, he was completely powerless before Miss Wendy, so now he had no intention of finding out firsthand.
Besides, getting beaten up was a secondary concern; his main worry was losing his life here in Liyue. In any case, he had no grudge against Miss Kiana, so there was absolutely no need to risk his life.
Of course, if it really ca down to a life-or-death struggle, he would never back down.
"Hmph! Are you two planning to put on a show for ?"
The little girl, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
Because she couldn't figure out what was happening, she currently believed that this Outsider and the mortal were acting in front of her.
It was even possible that Morax was involved behind the scenes; there was definitely so conspiracy between them.
After all, Morax and this Outsider were on the sa side, so how could he possibly be killed by her.
But... why was a mortal involved?
The little girl couldn't figure that part out.
But no matter what, she was absolutely certain there was a conspiracy afoot.
"A show? Is that necessary?"
Kiana, who was about to say sothing to Childe, turned to look at the little girl and snorted coldly.
A show? What kind of show? Besides... who is she, really?
Also turning to look at the little girl, Childe's mind was racing, he still had no idea what was going on.
"Oh, right. I just thought of sothing fun."
Just as Childe was feeling confused, Kiana seed to have a sudden idea.
Sothing fun?
Hearing Miss Kiana's words, Childe had a bad feeling.
But even so, he could only stand there and see what was about to happen.
Boom—
What the-?
Suddenly seeing Kiana wave her hand, Childe instinctively retreated.
But he quickly realized that Miss Kiana's attack wasn't aid at him, but at the large tree in the distance.
Is that... a cave?
Taking a closer look, Childe saw a cave entrance under the large tree, which seed to have appeared because of Miss Kiana's attack.
Imdiately after, a ball of black mist shot into the cave.
That's...
"You get in there too."
Before Childe could react, he suddenly felt a kick, and his whole body flew uncontrollably towards the cave entrance.
Who kicked ? Miss Kiana?
Huh?
Where... where is this?
Kicked into a dizzying spin, Childe felt like he had fallen into so place, and then he found himself sohow inside a huge cavern.
He could see a considerable amount of ore all around.
But soon, Childe saw a colossal creature.
This is...
"What is that thing?"
Staring in utter shock at the behemoth not too far from him, Childe was stunned.
What on earth is this thing? Why is sothing like this here???
At this mont, Childe's mind was filled with questions.
