Su Han returned to the Church of Favonius.
He had barely lain down when the door pushed open.
Barbara stepped in, face full of worry. "Brother‑in‑law, are you alright? I heard from my sister that you fought the North Wind Wolf King…"
"I'm fine. Just a bit worn out."
Su Han answered lightly.
Barbara clearly did not believe him.
Instead, she reached for his shirt and started undoing the buttons.
"What are you doing…"
"How could you not be hurt after fighting a being on the level of an Archon? Let me treat you."
The more he resisted, the more certain Barbara became that he was hiding injuries out of embarrassment.
Just as the two were struggling over it, the main door suddenly opened.
Lisa walked in carrying a tray of food.
"Su Han, we made you something to restore your strength… ah?"
She froze.
In front of her was a half‑unbuttoned Su Han, and a girl with her hands inside his shirt.
Lisa's smile stiffened.
Had she come at the wrong time?
"Ahem… you came just in time. Help me talk some sense into her," Su Han said quickly. "I told her I wasn't hurt, but Barbara just won't believe me."
With that explanation, Lisa understood her mistake.
She smiled at Barbara. "You… really care too much. If Su Han were hurt, he would say so. Good thing it was me who came in. If it had been another priest, rumors would already be flying."
"I… I'm not afraid of that. I was just worried about Brother‑in‑law," Barbara muttered, lowering her head, cheeks slightly red.
She knew she had overreacted.
To avoid further awkwardness, she did not stay long. She found an excuse and slipped out.
Once the room held only the two of them, Lisa sat down and smiled. "Didn't think you'd be this charming. Planning to have the sisters together one day?"
"Don't tease. I've always thought of Barbara as a little sister," Su Han said helplessly.
"Oh? For a young girl, your charm is a bit too much. You're her brother‑in‑law, a hero who has saved Mondstadt multiple times, and, most importantly, the Anemo Archon's sworn brother. From every angle, you tick all of Barbara's boxes."
"Fine, fine, you're right about everything. I didn't expect you to be this gossipy," Su Han said, giving up the argument.
There was no winning when arguing with a woman.
The Rose Witch chuckled, picked up a spoon, and said, "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Say ah… let me feed you. This is a special medicinal porridge. I learned it from Xiangling."
Su Han took a bite.
The taste was surprisingly good.
There were blueberries in it, along with some small fruit pieces he couldn't name. The flavor was excellent.
Xiangling's porridge usually used herbs and flowers, while Lisa had followed Mondstadt custom and added fruit to balance the medicine's bitterness.
Both versions were good, each with its own style.
With Lisa patiently feeding him, the bowl was soon empty.
He wiped his mouth and asked, "How's Razor?"
"He's still unconscious for now, but his injuries have already been treated. I plan to have him train with the Knights for a while. After all, I am his teacher. I can't let him stagnate."
Lisa had originally let Razor grow up freely. With the North Wind Wolf King watching over him, safety had never been an issue, and the boy didn't like crowds anyway.
But this incident made her realize that leaving him completely alone had been a mistake. She needed to give this disciple some proper guidance.
Su Han nodded. "That's for the best. Hopefully, after this, the Adventurers' Guild members will also be willing to join us."
"Right. By the way, when do you plan to see that Abyss man?" she asked.
"In a few days. Let him sit for a bit first."
"Mm."
As they spoke, a notification popped up in the multiverse chat.
The special offer area of the points shop had refreshed.
…
In the mission group:
Hu Tao: "Refresh! The special offers refreshed again!"
Ganyu: "Oh, I see it. This time it's a weapon. And it looks terrifying. It says it can kill ten thousand people with one strike."
Keqing: "@Su Han… is this thing worth buying?"
Xiangling: "I feel like this weapon is a must. Just looking at the stats, I can't refuse. It's even more outrageous than Tessaiga."
Mona: "Wasn't the battle over already? Why hasn't Su Han shown up yet… kind of suspicious."
Jean: "He's probably still resting. I just saw Lisa bring something to his room."
Su Han: "I'm here. Didn't expect the refresh to be a bit late. Let me see what it is…"
He opened the points shop.
The special offer section had indeed refreshed.
The item inside left him shocked.
He never thought the shop would list something like this.
Or rather, something like this should not be this cheap.

It was actually the Xuanyuan Sword from the Heaven's Scar world.
A divine artifact.
Who would believe it?
Eight million points at full price was terrifying on its own.
After reading all of the attributes, Su Han had only one thought.
He had to get this weapon. At any cost.
Ningguang: "@Su Han… why aren't you saying anything? Is this sword worth it? Eight hundred thousand is not cheap."
Su Han: "We must buy it. Among everything we've seen so far, this is the most important. It's even more important than the dragon vein."
Zhongli: "Oh? Such a treasure exists? I see it has the power to suppress fortune. Does that mean this artifact surpasses the dragon vein?"
As the former Geo Archon, he had watched the dragon vein for some time, and even reinforced its defenses in secret. Otherwise, the Abyss forces would not have failed so thoroughly.
With the dragon vein in place, disasters in Liyue had already lessened, and the leylines had calmed. Only powerful beings could sense this change.
Like Klee's mother, the witch Alice, who had once felt the demonic pulse beneath Guyun Stone Forest.
But since the dragon vein appeared, the leylines in Liyue had grown much more stable. The "old friends" sealed underground would likely never stir again.
Hu Tao: "This sword looks so cool. I really want to play with it."
Eula: "A very domineering blade. All gold, with sun, moon, and mountains carved on it."
Ganyu: "Can you tell us its origin, Su Han?"
Everyone already understood the weapon's effects.
What they most wanted now was its story.
The dragon vein was known to be the Yellow Emperor's spine from the Wind and Cloud world.
Su Han: "Alright. This weapon comes from a certain xianxia world. First, I need to say that world is extremely dangerous. A demonic red star is approaching the human realm. You can think of it as a great fiend trying to devour the human world…
"And this sword was the weapon of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times. It is a Human Dao holy weapon. Against evil beings, it has a natural, overwhelming killing effect."
Rosalyne: "The Yellow Emperor again… it seems he truly was a great sage‑ruler."
Hu Tao: "I've heard of him too. The Yellow Emperor is said to be the first emperor of humankind, on par with the Geo Archon in status. But I don't know what happened after."
Yae Miko: "!!!!!!"
Yae Miko: "Su Han, I'm begging you… redeem it and save Inazuma. I need your help."
Heaven itself could see how long she had waited for a treasure that could suppress the land's veins.
If they had Xuanyuan Sword, there would be nothing to fear in Inazuma.
She could sleep all day without a care.
But the cold water came quickly.
Keqing: "Uh… if I'm not mistaken, this is a Human Dao holy weapon, right? If you really put it in Inazuma, won't it kill you first?"
Yae Miko: "…"
Now that she thought about it, it probably would.
Ayaka: "That's right. Lady Yae is a kitsune. She definitely cannot control Xuanyuan Sword. None of us in Inazuma could wield it."
Eula: "Hahaha… if Yae Miko got this sword, it would probably smack her the moment she touched it."
Lisa: "What a shame. She really can't use it."
Zhongli: "It is indeed troublesome…"
He himself could not use it either.
He had once been an Archon, not human.
Kazuha: "Then what about this? Leave Xuanyuan Sword in Liyue, and move the dragon vein to Inazuma. Wouldn't that solve it?"
He really was a clever one.
Even Yae Miko couldn't help giving him a like.
Rosalyne: "Brilliant. That works nicely. Xuanyuan Sword and the dragon vein have similar effects. With Xuanyuan in the Chasm, it could fully suppress that place. The dragon vein could then be sent to Inazuma to stabilize their leylines. Didn't think Kazuha was this sharp."
Beidou: "Hehe. Of course. He works under me, after all. The kid's smart."
