Put the pieces back: Sequel (Xiao x fem!reader)

What is Miko planning?

A/N:
(in the first book, do remember that Aether took care of Scaramouche and got the Raiden Shogun's gnosis and Y/n's core back. It's shown in the first book.)

Yae Miko pov:

"Miko, what you're doing is risky, you know?" Ei said as she walked towards me with the blanket in her arms.

"But it's worth it. You never know, maybe it'll work." I answered and turned to her with a smug grin.

"This goes against all the laws of eternity." Ei said, but still didn't make an attempt to actually stop me.

"Oh I know, but I'm sure you'll make a small exception for me, right?" I walked closer to her.

At the moment, the both of us were in her euthymia. "Exceptions are the enemy of eternity." She said while giving me a small playful glare.

I chuckled, "Oh please, you can make and exception for the exception , can't you?" I asked her.

She sighed. "Only for you." Ei said.

Ei held the blanket secured in one of her arms, while lifting her other hand. In her hand, her gnosis floated gently. "The gnosis has no meaning for me, so feel free to use it as you'd like, Miko. Just this once, I'll pretend I don't know what you're doing."

She handed me the blanket and placed it in my arms, as well as her gnosis.

"Alright. Thank you, Ei."

As I got back to the shrine, I went into my private room. I put the gnosis away and looked down at the blanket in my hands. A small smile formed on my face and I slowly uncovered the blanket.

"It wasn't easy getting a hold of your corpse, when the adeptus wouldn't leave the mountain at all." I said.

"I can't tell the adepti, Morax, or anyone other than Ei about what I'm doing. It might get me in trouble you know?" I said, talking to the dead person i was holding.

"Don't worry... you can tell them about it yourself"

Xiao pov:

I stood on the edge of The chasm and looked down.

"I guess this is it." I said to myself.
I then jumped down into The chasm.

-

Aether pov:

As we entered The chasm we met Yanfei on the way down.

She didn't tell us about what she was doing, but me and Paimon decided to let her be. However she did ask us to cover up where she was?

Who could she be hiding from?

No one would follow her down here, pfft.

Me and Paimon watched as Yanfei walked away.

"And there she goes... huh what in Teyvat was all that about? Paimon's starting to feel nervous all of a sudden..." Paimon said. She seemed nervous about what was happening here, maybe something happened to Yanfei?

"Do you think she did something illegal?!" Paimon shocked me with that question.

I sighed, "Come on Paimon, it's Yanfei." I looked at her an 'really' look.
