Chapter 21: Liyue City's Daylight

Suddenly a mysterious figure appeared before them. The figure plunged like a graceful crane infront of them and beside it stood a Cryo avatar.

"Shenhe!"

The figure was a graceful, yet intimidating woman who's eyes only knew violence. To her, violence and homicide were not an answer, but a question to which the answer was always, "Yes."

"Unleash!"

Suddenly, Shenhe Commanded the Talisman Spirit to deal an Area of Effect Damage as she slid backwards. Several Talismans used by Exorcists flew backwards. She then made a hand gesture which made all the flying Talismans attack both heads and explode.

The beast then summoned several Water tornadoes. However, she was managed to freeze all of them. She then turned it into a frozen Whirlwind and blew it back to Beisht, damaging it.

"Run, recover quickly. I'll take care of this."

All three nodded.

Heizou was too focused on revenge that he completely forgot about Kazuha. He then ran towards him, falling midway. He then saw the wound on his neck slowly fading away due to Tianlin's healing.

Heizou then cried tears of joy. "Please... be alive... I love you so much."

Heizou then kissed the lips of Kazuha's unconscious body. "Don't die on your birthday."

Beisht fired a countless amount of homing hydro-missiles at Shenhe. However, she either froze all of them or dodged it all with extreme precision.

Shenhe then ran towards the dome.
"We have to get out. Now!"

Everyone nodded yes.

Suddenly, below the dome, a huge "elevator" of ice emerged. It then began to rise up. In addition, Several vines boosted its speed up. They then broke the surface of the ocean but were followed by Beisht.

After breaking through the surface, Beisht roared once more and fired countless beams of water at Liyue City, brining utter desolation to its construction site. Half of the city was destroyed.

Suddenly, an elegant laughter could be heard. It was Ningguang hovering over what seemed to be another Jade Chamber.

"Hahahaha... how pathetic of an Avenger you are. You may despise my chamber, but you're too dumb to think that was the real one. I have several copies of the Jade Chamber meant for these types of battles.

Goodbye."

Suddenly, there was a non-stop shower of Geo Crystals falling from the sky, damaging Beisht.

Behind that was aerial projectiles that helped in damaging the beast more.

The people firing them, were thel Adult population of Liyue Harbor. Among the crowd stood Yanfei, Yelan, Beidou and a Milleleth Soldier that fired a devastating amount of Fireballs, Hydro-Infused Arrows, Canonballs and Guizhing Ballista Projectiles respectively.

Beisht was getting hurt left and right. Soon, they all gathered up, except for Kazuha. Soon, Keqing, Ganyu, Tianlin and Shenhe began to chant a prayer to a device. Heizou joined in aswell.

Electro, Cryo, and Dendro came in jarmony and made the Contraption glow. Suddenlyit fired a colossal shot that gathered everyone's power at 100%. This, along with the other projectiles fired at The sea monster, managed to hurt it to a critical amount.

The storm began to clear up and the moonlit night sky was finally visible.

Beisht fled from the battleground and everyone cheered at their victory.

Kazuha also woke up at this time.

"Hnn... where am-"

Suddenly, a crying Heizou kissed Kazuha. Kazuha could taste saltiness from Heizou's tears mixing with the slightly sweet taste his lips gave.

"I was so worried you'd have died. Please don't leave me. Ever."

Kazuha sighed and gave a hug to the now crying Heizou. "I won't ever leave you, My darling detective."

Some minutes later, Heizou wiped off his tears and said, "Happy Birthday, my cute samurai."

The others in the audience were "Aww"-ing due to their love. Shenhe and Ganyu then created a bridge of Ice back to the Harbor. When they reached there, everyone was present. Kazuha, Heizou, Keqing, Ganyu, Tianlin, Yanfei, Yelan, Shenhe and Ningguang.

They then discussed the matters regarding this battle and its surprising outcome. "Beisht has retreated. We'll be free for about 10 years from her Vengeance."

Ningguang then used her Geo Vision to help with the reconstruction of the destroyed Liyue City. By 7:00, half the city was fixed. The light of prosper and a bright future shone upon Liyue City. This marked Liyue City's Daylight.

Kazuha and Heizou then headed back to their inn and cuddled in their bed after they had finished with helping them.

Kazuha Buried his face inside Heizou chest as Heizou hugged him tight. They both felt their breaths on their faces. Kazuha Drifted to sleep as Heizou whisphered these words in his ears.

"Happy Birthday, my love."
