Chapter 134 The Great Astonishing Sorcerer, Mona
......
Under the cover of night, fireflies glowed faintly alongside the campfire.
Under the twinkling starlight, the girl named Ying turned to look at her brother, looking forward to the next day's trip.
A shooting star streaked across the sky and disappeared in an instant; the two of them made a wish together...
My heart is filled with confusion and longing. The memories from just now seem like a dream. When I opened my eyes again, it was already morning.
The blanket covered him, but he did not find the white figure on the bed.
I put the Intiwatt back on and stood up to stretch my body.
Stepping out of the room, I saw two people, one in white and one in blue, preparing breakfast.
"Good morning, Sister Lingling and Paimon..."
Ying yawned and washed her face.
Paimon carefully placed the plate on the table, then confidently showed off his achievement to Ying.
"Hehe, I rarely get up early, so I specially made a 'Paimon Breakfast' just for you. Try it and see what you think."
"Not bad, quite delicious."
After a good meal and drinks, the group arrived outside Liyue Harbor, ready to embark on an adventure...
Halfway down the road, they found a girl with twin ponytails sitting on a stone wall, wearing a witch's hat.
She looked away, and although she didn't open her eyes, she seemed to have noticed everyone's presence.
The girl yawned, as if she had planned it all along, and said lazily, "It's finally here."
The other person stretched, let out a long sigh, and then opened their eyes to look over.
"I was almost asleep while waiting."
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar girl, Huiyuan recognized her at a glance. She was Astolrogis Mona Megistus, or "Mona" for short.
Mona summoned a bubble, which burst to reveal a portal filled with stars.
After the other person jumped in, the next instant, she opened a portal behind Ying and jumped out.
Mona casually summoned a bubble, which burst open a second later, revealing an astrological chart. It looked somewhat similar to a Bagua diagram, but without the yin-yang and black-and-white patterns.
She glanced at the astrological chart, chuckled twice with delight, and then casually scribbled on the chart composed of the water element.
"Hmph, my 'astrology' is indeed accurate—hey, you guys, come with me."
Mona nodded to the crowd, waved her hand to signal them to follow, and confidently turned and walked away on her own.
Ying looked completely bewildered, her head agape and her hands trembling, unable to grasp anything. Just as she was about to reach out to stop Mona, Paimon decisively stated his conclusion.
"Hmm...you're a door-to-door fortune teller?"
Ying looked at Paimon, who had spoken, with a puzzled expression.
Paimon gave him a "Don't worry, leave it to me" look, then added, "Sorry, we don't need..."
Upon hearing this, Mona stopped in her tracks. Turning around and tossing her hair, she glanced down at Paimon with a condescending look and then confidently uttered another sentence.
"You, and you, don't belong to this world."
After Mona finished speaking, Ying was surprised, and Paimon ate two pounds.
Looking at the stranger standing on the steps, Paimon asked with a sense of formidable danger, "W-how do you know about this!"
"Because what I possess is true 'astrology.' If there are no further questions, let's set off."
Ying complained, "There are questions everywhere! First of all, who are you?"
Mona sighed, lowered her head, closed her eyes, shook her head, and explained helplessly.
"Ugh, this is so troublesome. I'll explain it patiently then."
Just as Mona began to introduce herself, a voice spoke in unison with her.
“My name is Astrologis Mona Megistus, and I usually allow people to call me Mona, considering it would be very rude to misremember my name.”
"Her name is Astrologis Mona Megistus, and she usually allows people to call her Mona, considering it would be very impolite to misremember her name."
The person who said those words at the same time as Mona was, of course, our Miss Lingling.
Ying was surprised to see Huiyuan, Paimon ate two jin, and Mona ate three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Mona, who was immediately confused, froze in shock.
"you know me?"
Huiyuan's lips curled up to the sky, making a "crooked-mouthed dragon king" expression.
"Of course I know you, I definitely know you, I absolutely know you. Not only do I know you, I also know that you are taking us to Mondstadt to retrieve a box for your master."
(I remember the legendary questline was great; there were so many opportunities to show off. Haha, admire me! Be amazed, Mona!)
"I..."
Mona was about to say something when Huiyuan interrupted her.
"As for why you insisted on bringing us along, it's because you want to compete with the person who keeps this box to see who is better at astrology, thus proving that you are better than your master, right?"
"you..."
Mona had just opened her mouth when Huiyuan interrupted the conversation again.
“I know your master, and your master might know me too. Let me be frank, your master’s friend Iris has a daughter named Klee, who is a Spark Knight in Mondstadt and doesn’t know astrology. She’s a cute little girl who just plays with Bouncing Bombs all day long, and is innocent and kind.”
"she..."
Mona spoke again, but Huiyuan interrupted her once more.
"There's nothing you want in the box she's keeping. And I can tell you for sure that you'll regret it if you see what's inside, you'll regret it terribly, you'll regret it to the point of despair."
Upon hearing this, Mona's head was practically steaming; her brain had completely shut down.
Seeing the stunned Mona, Huiyuan waved her hand in front of her and gasped.
"Oh no, did I break it?"
Having eaten two pounds of Paimon, Huiyuan looked at her blankly and asked, "Sister Lingling... can you tell me what happened? My brain can't keep up..."
Huiyuan turned around and patiently explained.
"In short, she's an astrologer who can see what will happen in the future. But I'm even more amazing; I can see things she can't."
Paimon rubbed his forehead, looking confused, and said, "I... I see..."
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Huiyuan realized that she had lost her composure.
Huiyuan cleared his throat and scratched his head sheepishly.
"Anyway... let's go first. We can talk as we go..."
Mona, realizing what was happening, hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute, don't go. What you just said... I know, you're the daughter of my master's friend! You're trying to pretend to be an outsider to avoid my challenge, right? Hmm... that must be it, you're so despicable!"
Seeing that she had been misunderstood, Huiyuan sighed.
(I should have known better than to show off.)
"Ahem, never mind. I don't know how to explain it. If you don't believe me, let's go to Mondstadt and see for ourselves."
