Her fair and slender legs crossed as she sat.
Rosalyne leaned against the sofa's backrest, her mind blank for a moment.
Though Su Xuan had always boasted about twisting people into pretzels earlier, he had never actually done it.
This time, it was like a knife to the ass—it really opened Rosalyne's eyes.
"He can really twist solidified objects into pretzels just like that..."
The usually arrogant and domineering Rosalyne could only gulp in fear, her face twisted.
Such a dangerous figure wandering the Teyvat Continent—who knew if it was a blessing or a curse.
The scariest part was that Su Xuan seemed to know everything about the Teyvat Continent like the back of his hand. Even trying to exploit information asymmetry to deceive him would probably fail.
"I wonder if Her Majesty the Tsaritsa has a diary copy over there." Rosalyne's ample chest heaved a few times.
Bad news: Su Xuan had casually destroyed the Fatui's Delusion Factory in Inazuma and exposed their plans to Raiden Ei.
Good news: Su Xuan was currently far away in Inazuma, while her mission as Rosalyne was in Mondstadt.
"Even if he travels here, who knows when he'll arrive from Inazuma to Mondstadt. It shouldn't affect me taking Barbatos's Gnosis."
After the light screen from the diary copy faded, two new updates appeared.
[Hmm... Telekinesis digging ability is decent too...]
[However, if I spent a bit more time, I could lift the entire Inazuma City and make it follow the Delusion Factory's fate.]
[So, this is my limit, huh...]
[No matter. After all, I have plenty of time to grow stronger.]
[That's it for today. Time to wrap up, then it's bath and bed.]
Rosalyne: "Huh?"
The group of beauties was left speechless.
Do you have any idea what you're saying? If you can twist all of Inazuma City into a ball, you could do the same to the most prosperous cities in every nation on the Teyvat Continent.
If you traveled around twisting everything in sight, the Seven Nations would be wiped clean off the continent.
"Pfft!" Even the aloof Ningguang couldn't help but laugh, shaking her head. "Just 'so-so,' Mr. Su?"
.....
Yashiori Island.
The moment Su Xuan turned back after finishing everything, he saw Raiden Ei standing stunned at the entrance.
"What are you doing standing there like an idiot?" Su Xuan greeted as he approached.
Raiden Ei finally snapped out of her daze from earlier.
Telekinesis that could dig over two thousand meters deep.
The massive Delusion Factory was just his first demonstration—it didn't represent his limit.
If this guy used telekinesis to dig into the ley lines, Raiden Ei didn't dare imagine the terrifying consequences for the surrounding lifeforms.
"I... I felt the earthquake and came out to check." Raiden Ei stammered.
Her gaze shifted to the distance as she hurriedly changed the subject. "Those people... they're workers from the Delusion Factory?"
Su Xuan followed her line of sight. In the distance, a group of people stood dazed around the massive crack in the earth, like they'd lost their purpose.
"Yes, those are indeed Fatui from the Delusion Factory."
"Just some soldiers following orders. Of course, they haven't provoked me, so I have no reason to kill them."
Su Xuan said calmly.
Before destroying the Delusion Factory, he'd sensed the workers and guards inside through telekinesis.
But Su Xuan wasn't a bloodthirsty killer. Before wrecking the place, he'd used a telekinesis barrier to wrap them up and bring them out safely.
And he hadn't detected any Fatui Harbingers in the factory.
From his knowledge of the original story, the Delusion Factory's main overseer was supposed to be Dottore, later managed jointly by Lady Rosalyne and Scaramouche the Balladeer.
Based on the current timeline, Scaramouche should be the one watching over it.
Unfortunately, he wasn't there.
"I didn't find the person I wanted to kill." Su Xuan spread his hands. "That's all."
"The person you wanted to kill?" Raiden Ei's brows shot up. "Is there an enemy of yours in the Delusion Factory?"
"No." Su Xuan chuckled. "That guy's just got a rotten personality. If we met, he'd definitely ruin my mood."
"So better to squash him early. Too bad he's not here..."
Raiden Ei: "..."
The beauties were speechless.
She'd seen people get revenge for grudges or settle scores, but never someone preemptively deciding to eliminate someone before even meeting because they'd "ruin his mood."
"Alright, I'm off to grab some seawater for a hot spring. Do your own thing." Su Xuan waved and floated toward the sea.
"Wait!" Raiden Ei suddenly called out, asking cautiously, "Do you intend to protect those people? I mean them."
She pointed at the distant Fatui.
Su Xuan shook his head. "No relation to me. Why would I protect them?"
Raiden Ei's heart leaped with joy, her purple eyes flashing with fury. "Then you won't mind if I kill them, right?"
Su Xuan glanced at her, clearly seeing the killing intent in her eyes.
But it made sense.
The Fatui had incited the resistance army, leading to the deaths of an entire village in Feimu Village.
They'd also experimented on Inazuma's people with Delusions.
It'd be weird if Raiden Ei wasn't pissed.
Su Xuan smiled, waved, and flew toward the sea. "Do as you please..."
