According to the map Venti provided, their destination was quite far from Mondstadt City.
At their current speed, it would be impossible to reach it even by walking all night.
So, from the start, they weren't heading directly for the marked location on the map.
Instead, they went to a high vantage point.
Acting Grand Master Jean was going to take a shortcut with him.
As for what shortcut…
"This is the latest invention by the Knights of Favonius' alchemists." Acting Grand Master Jean handed the bottle in her hand to Ann.
Ann curiously held the bottle up to his face.
Inside the bottle, three objects, resembling dandelion seeds, continuously swirled.
"It's a Anemo Bottle. Opening it will create a sufficiently high wind current," Acting Grand Master Jean continued to explain.
Using this item for travel could cut down a large portion of the journey.
However, this item also had certain usage requirements.
Because it could create a sufficiently high wind current, allowing people to fly far away using a Wind Glider.
In other words, anyone using this item had to be quite familiar with the Wind Glider, or at least have some experience using it.
Otherwise, if too much stamina was wasted in the sky and danger arose, it would be no laughing matter.
"Ann, are you okay?" Acting Grand Master Jean couldn't help but ask again.
She knew Ann had only recently obtained a Wind Glider from Amber, but he hadn't yet obtained his Wind Glider license.
So she was a little worried.
"No problem, no problem at all," Ann confidently waved his hand.
This time was different from last time; he didn't have any bad feelings. Besides, if he had to say, he had landed safely last time too.
Speaking of which, ever since Amber gave him the Wind Glider, he hadn't really played with it much.
This time, he finally had an opportunity, and it was even a long-distance flight.
He felt a little excited just thinking about it.
"Mhm, open the bottle," Acting Grand Master Jean nodded, also preparing herself.
Ann slowly unscrewed the bottle as Acting Grand Master Jean instructed.
Honestly, he thought smashing the bottle on the ground would be a much cooler way to use it.
Unfortunately, this bottle was expensive and reusable, so Ann wouldn't be allowed to smash it for fun.
"Whoosh—"
With a gust of wind, Ann opened the bottle, and three dandelion-seed-like objects flew out.
After circling above their heads once, the three Anemo Seeds merged into one, and a huge wind current appeared before them.
Ann felt his body become light and airy within this wind current.
"Come on, Ann, jump!" Acting Grand Master Jean, seeing that the wind current was ready, shouted to Ann beside her.
"Okay!" Ann nodded.
Although he didn't know why, he always felt that jumping was a very difficult task for him.
But now that he was in the wind current, he didn't need to bend his knees much; even a slight tip-toe jump would allow him to ride the wind.
With two 'whoosh' sounds, their Wind Gliders unfurled in the air.
In mid-air, Acting Grand Master Jean slightly raised her head towards Ann, indicating their next direction, then flew ahead.
Ann quickly controlled his Wind Glider and followed Acting Grand Master Jean.
In the air, there was no need to worry about them being too close.
Speaking of which, as expected of the Acting Grand Master, her Wind Glider was different from his...
Ann looked up at his two wings.
His and Lumine's wings were both given by Amber; they didn't seem like cheap items, probably from Amber's collection?
However, Acting Grand Master Jean's was blue, and in terms of color, it seemed more aesthetically pleasing than his.
He just wondered if it had any special functions...
------------
"Ann, slow down—" Acting Grand Master Jean, who had landed first, looked up at Ann, who was still gliding in the sky, and couldn't help but call out worriedly.
The difficulty of the Wind Glider was never in how to take off, but in how to land.
A slight loss of control would result in a fall.
If it was more serious, falling on hard ground, a fracture would be a minor issue; it could even be life-threatening.
Ann also understood this principle; Amber had specifically emphasized it when she taught them how to use the Wind Glider.
But understanding was one thing; Ann was still a bit flustered descending from such a high place for the first time.
With his physique, a fall wouldn't really matter, but it would be embarrassing in front of Acting Grand Master Jean.
So he was still trying hard to control his body, hoping to land in a graceful posture.
Unfortunately, in every world, there was this unchanging truth:
The more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen.
"Whoa!!" A sudden strong gust of wind made Ann completely lose control.
His figure swayed uncontrollably about ten meters above the ground.
"Ann!!" Acting Grand Master Jean's pupils contracted, and her heart leaped into her throat. She quickly ran over and leaped up.
Acting Grand Master Jean's jumping ability was astonishing, perhaps aided by the power of her Anemo Vision.
In any case, she easily caught Ann in her arms and then smoothly unfurled her Wind Glider.
Carrying Ann in a princess carry, Acting Grand Master Jean slowly controlled the Wind Glider to descend.
"Are you… okay…" Acting Grand Master Jean's heart was originally anxious, but seeing Ann's face so close in her arms, her heart instead calmed down.
It was her first time looking at Ann this closely, even being able to smell his faint fragrance.
Time seemed to stand still. In the air, there were only the two of them, and besides the sound of the wind in her ears, she heard nothing else.
No, her heartbeat was still deafening.
"Ann…"
Those golden pupils seemed to possess a magic that made her immerse herself, and for a moment, she forgot what she had just wanted to say.
"I'm, I'm fine," Ann's small face flushed.
Not only because he was currently being held in Acting Grand Master Jean's arms, feeling her impressive bosom.
He didn't really notice Acting Grand Master Jean's dazed expression either.
It was more about the shame of being embarrassed.
He had just said he was fine, but in the end, something like this still happened, and he didn't quite know how to face Acting Grand Master Jean.
"That's good," Acting Grand Master Jean said, seemingly snapping back to reality, and let out a sigh of relief.
The two slowly descended.
Upon reaching the ground, Acting Grand Master Jean reluctantly set Ann down.
Ann felt very nice to the touch; although he was tall, his body was soft and fragrant.
Acting Grand Master Jean thought of her younger sister when she was little; she used to have a similar feeling holding little Barbara.
"Thank you so much, Acting Grand Master Jean, I didn't expect…" Ann scratched his head, looking at Acting Grand Master Jean with great embarrassment.
"No, it's nothing, as long as you're okay," Acting Grand Master Jean's cheeks were inexplicably flushed, and she shook her head slightly.
