Diluc gave Jean another kiss, proud of her for being brave again. Jean inside was still absolutely devastated at the fact that she couldn't save Sumeru from the Abyss Order, but right now she had to save Inazuma before the Abyss Order does the same thing to Inazuma. Jean and Diluc started packing their stuff quickly, so they could get out of Sumeru fast. Even though Jean and Diluc were somehow always left alone, the Abyss Order was still attacking and raiding Sumeru. Jean gripped Diluc's hand tightly as the two left the hotel and into the battlefield. Jean and Diluc quickly ran down the mountain as fast as they could, trying not to die. They could see abyss mages, hilichurls, samachurls, ruin guards, ruin hunters, and many other monsters attacking Sumeru. Jean felt tears stinging her eyes again, but she wiped them away. Diluc noticed Jean wiping away her tears, and asked her, still running:
- Jean! Are you alright?
Jean nodded and Diluc turned away. When the two reached the bottom of the mountain, they didn't know what to do. Then, Jean spotted a ship.
- Diluc! A ship!
Jean pulled Diluc towards the ship, and started to wave her arms frantically and scream from the top of her lungs.
- HELP! OVER HERE! HELP!
Jean continued to scream and wave until she could see the ship approaching Jean and Diluc. The ship took some time to come.
- Hey! What do you fellas need?
A woman with purple hair stepped down from the ship.
- Hi! Uh could you take us to Inazuma please?
Jean asked, politely.
- Ah... Inazuma eh? Beautiful place. Well turns out us here also was going to Inazuma. Hop on board! Name's Beidou, by the way.
Beidou led Jean and Diluc on the ship, and they took off.
- Have a seat.
Beidou said, gesturing the two to sit down.
- So, where are you fellas from?
- Monstadt.
Jean replied. Beidou nodded.
- What are you going to do in Inazuma?
Jean was speechless. Should she tell Beidou about Lumine and the letter? But before she could even think, Diluc said:
- You know the Abyss Order?
- Uh huh.
- Well, they are going to take over Teyvat and we are trying to warn the regions.
Beidou's face turned pale.
- What? Is this a joke?
- No.
Beidou immediately stood up and said:
- Set course back to Liyue!
- Wait what?!
Jean pounded on the table.
- If what you say is true, then we are going back to Liyue and reporting this case to the Qixing.
Beidou said, walking away.
- No! The Abyss are going to attack Inazuma first!
Jean cried. Beidou stared at Jean.
- Inazuma deserves it anyway. The Raiden Shogun is always collecting visions, making Inazuma powerless without anyone to protect it.
Beidou said in a cold tone. Jean was speechless. She couldn't let Beidou ditch Inazuma! But after all, the Raiden Shogun is already quite strong on her own... Jean took a deep breath, and decided they could warn Liyue first since she guessed that the Raiden Shogun would be able to defend Inazuma.
After a few hours, they arrived in Liyue Harbor. Beidou gestured Jean and Diluc to follow her, and so she led the two to three women.
- Lady Ningguang, these two people have something to talk to you about.
Beidou bowed to a woman with long, sliver hair, and a hairpin in her hair.
- Very well then. Please follow me.
Lady Ningguang turned around and walked away. Jean and Diluc had no choice but to tag along. After 5 minutes of non-stop walking, they arrived at a stone table with stone chairs in the middle of a lake.
- Please sit down.
Jean and Diluc sat down, and then Lady Ningguang started:
- What did you need to talk about with me?
- Well, Lady Ningguang-
- Please. Call me Ningguang.
Jean nodded and the continued:
- Well, the Abyss Order is going to raid all of Teyvat, and we just wanted to warn you about this.
Ningguang let out a 'hm' sound and nodded slowly.
- I see. Thank you for the warning.
Jean smiled warmly at Ningguang, and took off.
- Well, I guess Liyue is ready?
Diluc asked. Jean shrugged.
