Chapter 362: Ch 362 : Malfunctioning Serenitea Pot
Su Yuan’s Geo elemental power came from the Sovereign Dragon authority of Azhdaha.
Even though this power wasn’t complete, it was still incomparable to an ordinary Geo Vision.
The Geo energy within Su Yuan seemed inexhaustible, its purity and strength incredibly potent.
No matter how refined the mechanical modifications were, Xiangling, who couldn’t wield Eerie power, ultimately stood no chance against Su Yuan.
She couldn’t even break through the Geo shield surrounding Su Yuan—let alone harm him or hope to defeat him.
Only now did Su Yuan truly feel how powerful he had become.
As long as he didn’t encounter anything Eerie...
Moreover, when attacking Xiangling, Su Yuan had deliberately targeted her limbs rather than her torso or head.
That way, even if he incapacitated her, she wouldn’t be fatally harmed.
Now, Xiangling had completely collapsed to the ground, motionless, having lost all combat capability.
Su Yuan looked toward "Cloud Retainer" and spoke:
"Cloud Retainer, the outcome is clear."
"It seems this so-called Xiangling puppet wasn’t much after all."
"Still, for her to fight me to this extent—even while I wield the power of the Geo Dragon Sovereign—is already a rare feat."
Su Yuan didn’t deliberately praise or belittle the Xiangling automaton—instead, he simply described the exhilarating battle he had just experienced as it truly was...
Hearing Su Yuan’s words, "Cloud Retainer" showed a faint smile and said:
"Although the automaton I created was defeated, for it to reach this level already exceeded my expectations..."
"Since you inherited the Geo Dragon Sovereign’s power from Azhdaha, then your opinion also represents Azhdaha’s..."
"Dottore, it seems your techniques still aren’t quite up to par..."
"One day, I will astonish all of Teyvat with my mastery of mechanical arts!"
Upon hearing "Cloud Retainer’s" words, Su Yuan broke into a cold sweat...
So this Xiangling automaton still had something to do with Dottore?
It appeared that while the technology may have come from Dottore, the automaton was solely built by Cloud Retainer herself...
If Su Yuan had pretended to lose to the Xiangling automaton, wouldn’t that have indirectly proven that Dottore’s mechanical skills were superior—thus further damaging Cloud Retainer’s confidence?
But in the next moment, Cloud Retainer’s expression returned to normal, and all the Eerie power radiating from her body dissipated.
Everyone also felt their bodies return to normal—they could move again!
Seeing this, Su Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief...
It looked like... they had finally succeeded.
Cloud Retainer had truly been freed from her Eerie state!
"Qiqi, go! Restrain Dottore!!"
Baizhu reacted immediately, ordering Qiqi to place a talisman on Dottore to keep him pinned down!
He then rushed over to Xiangling to examine her injuries.
Cloud Retainer clutched her head in pain, clearly confused, her expression filled with anguish as she looked around at everything...
"What... what on earth is going on? Why are there so many people in front of my cave dwelling on Mt. Aocang...?"
"Cloud Retainer, there’s no time to explain right now—come quickly and take a look at Xiangling’s condition!"
Yanfei had also come to Xiangling’s side and called out urgently.
Hearing Yanfei’s voice, Cloud Retainer immediately moved to Xiangling’s side—but upon seeing her current state, she couldn’t help but cry out:
"Who... who did this!? Who turned Xiangling into this half-human, half-mechanical, ghost-like thing!?"
"It was that bastard Dottore, wasn’t it!? I will never forgive him!!!"
"Lord Adeptus, for now, we’ll leave Dottore to Qiqi to restrain..." Baizhu spoke up.
"Although I’m a doctor, even I don’t know where to begin with Xiangling’s current condition... I’m at a complete loss."
"Rather than saying she’s an injured person, it’s more accurate to say she’s like a damaged automaton..."
"Lord Adeptus, only you can save Xiangling now!"
Cloud Retainer nodded, and from her fingertip she condensed a wisp of cyan-green immortal energy, which she injected into Xiangling’s mind as she spoke:
"This refined immortal energy of mine will temporarily preserve her soul, keeping her from dying..."
"But whether she can awaken or return to normal... that will require more time and careful planning."
"An immortal’s touch truly is extraordinary..." Baizhu nodded in affirmation.
"As long as Xiangling’s life can be preserved for now, that’s more than enough."
Just then, a voice called out from behind the group—it was "Madame Ping."
"Children, you came to Mt. Aocang to subdue Cloud Retainer, and didn’t even think to invite me?"
"Oh? Judging by your expressions, it looks like everything’s already been resolved... seems I won’t be needed after all."
"So yet another Adeptus has arrived—a second one, this time it’s the Streetward Rambler..."
Faced with the Eerie Qiqi’s relentless assault, Dottore could only passively defend himself, sounding a bit resigned:
"It seems that the gap in power between me and all of you is only growing wider and wider..."
"Looks like... this segment of mine is going to meet its end here today..."
However, when Dottore saw that everyone was watching "Madame Ping" with such caution—keeping their distance and remaining on high alert—his expression suddenly twitched...
Dottore turned toward Su Yuan, his voice full of disbelief:
"Su Yuan... don’t tell me... even the Adeptus Streetward Rambler, , being corrupted by the Eerie... was also part of your intelligence?"
Su Yuan gave a slight smile and replied:
"Heh... what do you think, Dottore?"
"Streetward Rambler, there’s no need to keep up the act—you’ve already been exposed!"
Dottore shouted at "Madame Ping":
"The situation is urgent—hurry up and trap them all in the Serenitea Pot!"
"Madame Ping" nodded, and the Serenitea Pot appeared in her hands, as she prepared to imprison everyone present.
But the next moment—something unexpected happened!
No matter how "Madame Ping" tried to activate the Serenitea Pot, it simply refused to respond.
It was as if it had become an ordinary teapot, devoid of any special power...
"Streetward Rambler, what is the meaning of this?! We had a deal!" Dottore snapped.
"Why are you just standing there? Use the Serenitea Pot and trap them already!"
But "Madame Ping" responded with a confused look:
"Dottore, I’m already using all my strength to activate the Serenitea Pot, but I don’t know why... it just won’t work..."
"Are you kidding me?" Dottore glared at "Madame Ping," then turned to Su Yuan, growling:
"Su Yuan, is this your doing again?!"
