Chapter 69 The True Resting Place

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw this place, which resembled a fairyland. They excitedly explored everywhere, while Kai Le looked at Qiu He beside her and said:

“This must be the fairyland,” Qiuhe nodded. “That’s right, Princess Lilith, whom Ann mentioned, is here.”

During the exploration, Lily, who was on Tian Yaochen's back, spoke up to him, "Wow, Tian Yaochen, isn't that a dandelion? I want to go take a look."

Tian Yaochen then saw a wooden door ahead, and three dandelions on the ground next to it. He then carried Lily over, picked a dandelion, and handed it to Lily.

Lily was also very happy to see the dandelion; it was the first time she had ever seen one. She then picked it up and gently blew on it.

The dandelion seeds slowly drifted away, and Lily hugged Tian Yaochen's neck from behind, saying, "Thank you, Tian Yaochen."

Tian Yaochen then flipped his hair with a chuunibyou expression and said, "No need to thank me, it's what this hero should do!" He even struck a cool pose after saying that.

Lily giggled at Tian Yaochen's antics, pinching his cheek from behind and calling him a "stinky brat." As they continued their playful banter, a blue-haired girl slowly approached.

The girl slowly squatted down, looking at Tian Yaochen and Lily on his back, and said with a smile, "Little sister, it seems you really like dandelions."

Tian Yaochen and Lily also looked up at the girl in front of them. Lily finally smiled and said, "Yes, dandelions are very beautiful. This is the first time I've ever seen one."

"Sister, is this your home?" The girl looked at the innocent-looking boy in front of her and gently patted his head. "Yes, I live here. This is my home."

The group exploring nearby also noticed Tian Yaochen's situation and eventually walked over slowly. Upon seeing them, the girl spoke:

"Hello, children! You're all here to play, right? I was just preparing some snacks, it'll be snack time soon, please have some!"

The girl then led everyone to the dining area, where they could smell the delicious aroma of the tea and snacks on the table.

The girl also reminded everyone that they could only eat when the noon bell rang.

Tian Yaochen gently placed Lily, whom he had been carrying, onto the chair. The girl noticed Lily's bandaged feet and asked with concern:

"Little girl, what happened to your foot?" Tian Yaochen then answered the question, "Lily injured her foot when she came here with us."

Finally, everyone learned that the girl's name was Marian, and everyone introduced themselves. Marian also noticed the floating figure of Anne beside her.

"Is this adorable little elf also your companion?" Kelly looked at Ann beside her, only then remembering that since entering this fairyland...

Ann hadn't said a word the whole time, and he seemed quite dejected. "This little guy is called Ann. We met him on our journey; he's our friend."

“Ann,” Marian then smiled, “it’s a really nice name.”

During their casual conversation, Marianne asked where everyone came from, and then learned that they had come to rescue the princess after defeating the dragon Narcissus.

At this moment, Marian also put on a shocked expression, "Oh my! Narcissus, the dragon? Is that the terrifying dragon? You actually defeated him! You are so brave!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's minds began to recall the pure water spirit who had been annihilated by Qiuhe's sword. They all thought that although his name was the Demon Dragon Narcissus...

But it wasn't a real dragon, and it didn't even look that scary. This made everyone start to doubt themselves.

Everyone was wondering if the water spirit that was eliminated was actually the dragon Narcissus, but then they remembered that it was Ann who told them that it was Narcissus.

So it must be correct. Then Marian continued, "I've heard that the dragon has harmed many people and destroyed many kingdoms."

"Those kingdoms were all reduced to ashes because of that dragon, and you actually managed to defeat him? You are truly remarkable."

Hearing Marian say that, everyone became even more suspicious. That water sprite didn't seem like it could be so terrifying.

This made everyone wonder if they were really on the same wavelength, but no one thought about it too much. Kelly, standing nearby, also asked Marianne about Princess Lilith.

Marian looked puzzled upon hearing this. "Princess Lilith? Hmm... I don't know. I've lived here for a long time and have never heard of Princess Lilith."

At this moment, Anne, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up, "But Princess Lilith should be here."

Everyone found his words strange. This was Marianne's house; if Princess Lilith lived here, Marianne should know about it.

But now Marianne says Princess Lilith isn't here, while Ann says she should be here. Everyone is now at a loss.

Kailu then looked at Qiuhe beside her and realized that Qiuhe hadn't expressed any opinion on the matter. Only then did she remember that ever since Qiuhe entered this fairyland...

Aside from the initial question he asked, which was when he answered her, he hadn't seemed to say a word since. Kail nervously greeted Qiu He beside her.

"Le Yi, are you alright?" Qiu He snapped out of her daze when she heard Kai Le calling her. "What's wrong, Kai Le?"

Seeing that Qiuhe seemed normal, Kailuo was relieved. "It's alright. I noticed you seemed to be spacing out just now and weren't discussing Princess Lilith with the others."

"What are you thinking about?" Qiuhe asked after a moment's thought. "I have some problems with my memory. I know Princess Lilith should be here."

“But it doesn’t feel like it, I can’t quite remember,” Peruvieri and Claurind, who were standing nearby, had also overheard Keller and Akihiro’s conversation.

They chatted for a long time, and Marianne unanimously agreed that Princess Lilith wasn't there. "I'm sorry, Marianne, but I really don't have the princess you're talking about here,"

"Perhaps your princess is still somewhere else waiting for you to rescue her," Ann said, sounding somewhat disappointed.

Seeing Anne so heartbroken, Marian comforted her, "Anne, don't be sad. Princess Lilith may not be here, but as I said, she might be somewhere else."

"She's still waiting for you to save her, so Ann can't be so discouraged," everyone around her began to comfort her.

"Yes, Anne. Since Miss Marian said Princess Lilith isn't here, it just means she's probably somewhere else waiting for you to rescue her."

"Besides, with this hero here, don't worry, I won't abandon you. We've even defeated the demonic dragon; rescuing Princess Lilith is just around the corner."

Hearing these words, An's mood didn't seem to improve, while Kai Le, who was standing nearby, suddenly had an idea flash through his mind and then spoke up.

"An." An heard Kailer calling her, sounding a little listless. "What's wrong?" "An, I want to ask you something,"

"I only just thought of this myself. You wanted us to help you rescue Princess Lilith, and during the rescue of Princess Lilith..."

"We encountered a dragon, but it wasn't a real dragon. We also encountered its minions, but they were just water phantoms."

"The Narcissus Cross Sword is also a wooden sword," everyone said, but no one understood what Kelly meant. Kelly then continued:

"Hero, minions, holy sword, demonic dragon, princess, don't you all feel like something's missing?" Hearing Kelly say this, everyone began to ponder.

Clorind then seemed to realize something and said, "Kingdom, castle," and everyone immediately understood.

Kyle then nodded and continued, "Miss Marian also said at the beginning that the dragon has harmed many people and destroyed many kingdoms."

At this point, Keller looked at Anne beside him and asked, "Ann, what's the name of Princess Lilith's kingdom?" Anne replied:

“Of course it’s the Kingdom of Narcissus,” Kelly said, adjusting her glasses. “In my knowledge, Teyvat has more than seven kingdoms.”

“There are also some ancient kingdoms that have long since fallen, but in these kingdoms,” Keller was about to continue when his gaze fell upon Marian out of the corner of his eye.

He noticed Marianne staring at him and gently shaking her head, as if to tell him to stop talking.
